After Marrying Him, the Ending Has Changed-Chapter 319 - : Also Found a Pocket Watch

Chapter 319 -319: Also Found a Pocket Watch

Zhiwen and Zhiwu’s mood soured instantly upon hearing this.

What was their uncle up to today? Didn’t he always leave them be in the past? Why was he suddenly keen on taking them back with him today?

But given the man’s intimidating presence, they had to nod in agreement regardless of their reluctance, hanging their heads as they followed the couple towards the fourth-grade classroom.

When Jiang Mianmian saw that both her parents had come, she hurried over and, looking up with her small face, asked eagerly, “Mom, did you find my pocket watch?”

“No, honey, Mommy turned the house upside down and didn’t see the pocket watch,” Su Wanyu gently stroked her little head to comfort her.

“Oh, I see,” Jiang Mianmian pursed her lips, her little face looking rather downcast.

Although she had braced herself for the possibility of never finding the pocket watch again, she still felt very disappointed upon hearing her mother’s response.

Jiang Changhai could not bear to see his daughter looking so aggrieved and immediately coaxed her by saying, “Sweetheart, don’t be unhappy. It’s your birthday today. Just tell Dad what gift you want, and I’ll buy it for you.”

Jiang Mianmian shook her head, her mood remaining low as she said, “Dad, I don’t need anything, don’t bother buying it.”

Seeing that she was still in the dumps, Su Wanyu took out a piece of egg cake from a greased paper package and handed it to Jiang Mianmian, coaxing her with, “Let’s look for it again when we get home, maybe we will find it sometime. Here, this is an egg cake that Mom specially bought for you from the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, have a bite to sweeten your mouth.”

Jiang Mianmian took the egg cake and bit into it, the soft, moist, sweet flavor lifted her spirits, if only a tiny bit.

She decided to spend the next couple of days just studying the fifth-grade math book, trying to earn intelligence points as quickly as possible to find the pocket watch!

Hearing her inner voice, the system hesitated for a moment before saying, “Host, in fact, you can finish studying it in just one night.”

Jiang Mianmian grumbled, “But the problems you set are all so twisted.”

If it were the difficulty of school exams, she could score over ninety after just one read-through of the textbook, but the system’s tests were even harder than Mathematical Olympiad problems.

Without practicing a few more sets of problems, she feared she might not even earn a single intelligence point.

System: “The flow of time within the system space is three times slower than in this world. As long as the host spends more than eight hours a day inside the system, it will not cause any harm to the host’s body or spirit.”

Eight hours inside the system space equates to 24 hours outside, the maximum sustainable duration for carbon-based lifeforms like humans.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mianmian was utterly astounded, “Then why didn’t you tell me this from the start?!”

Well, she didn’t need the system to answer, she knew why.

Back then, she had been both a slacker and a poor student, resistant to studying. Had she known about this magical conversion rate of time, she would have cursed the system for its exploitative ways.

Fortunately, things were different now. She no longer resisted studying and even felt a surprising thrill of getting a bargain.

My goodness, just thinking about how one hour of her study time was equivalent to three hours of someone else’s, it was like she was using a cheat code!

Seeing her spirits lift, Su Wanyu breathed a sigh of relief. When she turned around, she saw Zhiwen and Zhiwu’s eager eyes on her.

So she smiled and took out three pieces of egg cake, “Here, Zhiwen, Zhiwu, Zhaodi, this is for you too, one for each of you.”

She wasn’t a stingy person; now that they were better off, she was even more generous. With the egg cakes she bought, there was enough for every member of the family to have a piece, with some left over.

“Thank you, Auntie,” Zhiwen and Zhiwu held the egg cake and cheerfully thanked her.

Auntie was too good to them; to part with such precious egg cakes, even their milk wouldn’t occasionally buy them a treat like this in secret.

“Thank you, Auntie,”

Zhaodi also gave Su Wanyu a sweet smile and politely thanked her.

When they got home, Zhang Guihua saw her oldest son carrying so much stuff and her old face lit up with joy, “Why did you buy so much today?”

“Mom, isn’t it Mianmian’s birthday today? I bought a bit more so everyone could join in the fun,” Jiang Changhai explained.

“Wow, look at my memory. I cooked two eggs for San Ya this morning and forgot to give them to her. Wait a moment, I’ll go and get them,” Zhang Guihua said before heading to the kitchen.

Because of the loss of the pocket watch, the Jiang Family was in chaos this morning, and Jiang Changhai had also forgotten to ask his mother for the eggs.

But he had already asked Old Zheng in the morning to speak to the canteen chef and cook two eggs for his darling daughter.

More importantly, “No need, Mom, save them for tomorrow morning. Otherwise, she might eat the two eggs and can’t fit anything else,” he said.

“Okay, then.”

Zhang Guihua reached out to take the things from Jiang Changhai’s hands and started murmuring as soon as she saw a bag of shrimp, “Why buy shrimp? The shells are hard and there’s not much meat, plus they aren’t cheap. It would be better to buy fish with that money.”

“Mom, Mianmian loves shrimp. Just add some extra oil and chili and stir-fry them well, they are delicious,” Jiang Changhai recalled the spicy shrimp from the state-run restaurant, swallowed, and told his mother.
