The 70s Novel: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Lie Down-Chapter 233: Friends and Family

Time passed day by day in the hustle and bustle of life. This cold winter felt particularly warm and comfortable with him by her side.

This year, Wang Miaomiao taught math to two classes in the second grade, serving as the class teacher for the third class, while the history classes for the whole grade were assigned to others.

In her view, the teaching tasks were not heavy. In her leisure time, she had picked up high school textbooks to review and prepare for the college entrance exam.

"Teacher Wang, are you going to teach first-year high school next year?" Wu Qiao asked, his tone full of admiration.

At last year’s year-end outstanding teacher selection, Wang Miaomiao naturally wasn’t selected, nor even nominated, considering she hadn’t been here for long, not even a full semester. This also showed Principal Jiang’s fairness, and Wang Miaomiao wasn’t the type to use connections.

After Li Wen left, some teachers who knew the inside story couldn’t help but mock her behind her back, saying she’d lost her mind if she thought everyone was like her, relying on connections.

Despite all her scheming, Teacher Wang simply had no such intentions. It was really a case of measuring others’ stature by one’s own narrow-mindedness, a completely unrewarding endeavor.

To sum it up, one shouldn’t be too self-righteous in life.

Because of this, Wang Miaomiao’s reputation and recognition in Sunshine Middle School’s staff group gradually improved.

After she officially became a math teacher for the second grade this year, many teachers came to listen to her lectures, which gave them a new understanding of her professional abilities.

Just recently, in the monthly exam, the third and fourth classes of the second grade took the first and second places in mathematics.

Before, Wu Qiao could at least maintain the second position while vying for first, but now his two classes only took third and fifth places. Feeling a gap, he wasn’t jealous but often went to her classes whenever he could, quietly learning and determined to improve his class rankings in the next exams.

Wang Miaomiao noted Wu Qiao’s behavior and started seeing him in a new light.

Though he was slick, flattering, and eager to please, he still had a sense of right and wrong and wasn’t someone with improper intentions.

"No, I just feel that my academic qualifications are limited. I have to learn more regularly to accumulate knowledge and enrich my scholarship so as not to mislead the students." Wang Miaomiao would not reveal the real reason to him.

Wu Qiao understood and admired Wang Miaomiao even more in his eyes, "You’re right. Then I’ll borrow some books to read in the afternoon..."

Wang Miaomiao was taken aback and then smiled slightly, "Did Teacher Wu graduate from college?"

Wu Qiao shook his head regretfully, "Not really... I didn’t catch the right time, I only graduated from high school, sigh..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Miaomiao’s eyes twinkled slightly, "Then why don’t you review the high school material for now, especially this self-study book for science, I find it quite good. You can try it if you have time."

Wu Qiao felt a twinge of surprise, not entirely sure why she said that, but responded immediately, "Sure, can I ask you if I don’t understand something?"

"Of course, we can study and discuss together." Wang Miaomiao replied with a smile.

She didn’t say much more, leaving it up to him to listen or not.

As the wedding day approached, Wang Miaomiao felt a little excited. She put much thought into it and personally designed outfits for herself, Jiang Yan, the Wang couple, the Jiang couple, and Old Master Jiang.

Several outfits were part of a series with men’s attire featuring black as the base with red accents and gold threads, while the women’s outfits were red as the base with black accents, similarly decorated with gold threads.

When the clothes were sent to the Jiang Family, not only Jiang Zhongyi and Old Master Jiang were pleased, but even the usually critical Zheng Zhen was fondly admiring the outfits.

Jiang Yan also put a lot of thought into it. After consulting her, he arranged for the decoration of the new house, accommodation for friends and family, hotel menu, wedding process, and even custom-made a pair of diamond wedding rings.

On May 7th, Jiang Yan and Wang Miaomiao were waiting early at the station entrance.

This time, to attend the wedding in J City, there were Wang Baoxing, Liu Yulan, the family of three of Yang Zhigang, Liu Yuxiang’s family, Liu Yufeng, Zhu Zicheng’s family, a total of twelve people.

"Ah Yan, Miao Miao..." Liu Yulan saw her daughter and son-in-law right after getting off the train because they were so conspicuous as a handsome couple.

"Mom..." Wang Miaomiao excitedly waved in their direction while standing on tiptoe.

Not paying attention, she lost her balance and nearly fell forward, but fortunately, Jiang Yan was by her side. He took a big step, wrapped an arm around her waist, and the momentum caused her to fall into his embrace.

"Careful, no need to rush..." Jiang Yan steadied her.

Wang Miaomiao was a little scared as she realized her carelessness. This place was crowded, and if she fell, she could easily get trampled.

With so many people, a private car couldn’t possibly fit all of them, so Jiang Yan took them on the bus. Luckily, their courtyard house was well-located, with a bus stop at the corner, and the train station had a bus going by.

Wang Miaomiao gets car sick, especially on these crowded, stop-and-go, swaying vehicles with a strong gasoline smell. She started to feel nauseous as soon as she got on.

Jiang Yan immediately took an orange out of his pocket, peeled it, and placed it under Wang Miaomiao’s nose. Seeing her lethargic state, he felt pity for her.

He had suggested she wait at home, but Wang Miaomiao insisted on coming, and sure enough, she couldn’t handle it...

After all, one must act according to their ability.

"Dad, mom, we’re here. Please come in." Jiang Yan led them all into the courtyard house.

The three-entry courtyard was entirely refurbished, with green tiles and blue bricks, corridor walls, pavilions and flower beds, koi ponds, thriving greenery, and blooming pomegranates... It was magnificent.

The procession entered the house, and everyone was stunned by the sight before them.

Liu Yulan excitedly held Wang Miaomiao’s hand, her voice trembling, "Miao Miao, is this where you two will live? Goodness... This is... really impressive... How many rooms are there?"

"About twenty rooms of various sizes. We’ve renovated it a bit, and now there are fifteen livable rooms. So, dad, mom, I’ve reserved rooms for you. When you retire, you can come live with me, and I’ll take care of you..." Wang Miaomiao spoke earnestly, and it was genuinely heartfelt.

"Sure, sure, we’ll come to live," Liu Yulan was so happy and agreed without a moment’s thought about it. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Jiang Yan settled them in, and they went to rest in their rooms. After the long journey, they naturally needed to rest and freshen up.

Especially the two kids, Yang Qingwen and Zhu Zheng, who were constrained during the journey and now looked a bit withered and low-spirited.

Seizing this pause while they rested, Jiang Yan went to the restaurant and packed a meal to entertain them.

Tomorrow was the wedding, and Wang Miaomiao and Jiang Yan still had many things to do, so they didn’t stay long. They accompanied Liu Yulan and Wang Baoxing back to the small apartment.

Their plan was for Wang Miaomiao to leave from the small apartment to the courtyard new house tomorrow.
