Chapter 30 Tutoring Yu Weiwei
To dry sweet potatoes, you first need to cook them.

In order not to delay her work the next day, Chen Xiuting started getting busy after dinner.

The rest of the Su family members weren't idle either; they helped Chen Xiuting with the work.

To dry the sweet potatoes as quickly as possible, Chen Xiuting started washing and cutting them into chunks tonight. She began steaming and boiling them, and once cooked, she took them all out and left them to dry in the sun tomorrow.

Su Nuannuan returned to her room and didn't rest; she went into her spatial dimension.

She washed the remaining sweet potatoes, cut them into chunks, and placed them in her steamer to steam them. After setting the time, Su Nuannuan drifted off to sleep.

The next day, when Su Nuannuan got up, the sweet potatoes had already been placed on the bamboo rack in the yard by Chen Xiuting.

"Nuan Nuan, watch over these sweet potatoes, don't let the birds eat them."

Chen Xiuting was worried, so she made sure Su Nuannuan stayed by her side before she went to work.

Su Nuannuan naturally agreed.

She was also thinking of taking out the sweet potatoes from the space to dry in the sun.

After her mother left, Su Nuannuan glanced at her three older brothers who were studying in their room.

Seeing that their attention was not on her, Su Nuannuan began to move the sweet potatoes in the space to the shelf little by little.

The previously empty spaces were instantly filled with sweet potatoes that Su Nuannuan had placed there. The entire shelf was covered with sweet potatoes, looking quite heavy.

Seeing this, Su Nuannuan felt a little guilty.

There are so many, they should be able to dry in the sun, right?
She thought to herself uncertainly.

The sun was really scorching during the day. Before long, Su Nuannuan couldn't stand the heat anymore and ran to the eaves to cool off.

The sweet potatoes in the yard gradually lost their moisture and became wilted.

By the afternoon, the sweet potatoes had noticeably shrunk.

After being dried in the sun for a few more days, the sweet potatoes gradually turned into dried sweet potatoes.

In the middle, Su Nuannuan moved all the steamed sweet potatoes out of the space, dried them into sweet potato chips, and put them together with the ones at home.

Chen Xiuting discovered that the dried sweet potatoes not only did not lose weight, but actually gained a lot more weight.

However, the significantly reduced size prevented her from investigating further.

Chen Xiuting divided the dried sweet potatoes into two portions and then added several pounds of brightly colored, soft scraps of cloth.

Although there weren't many items, they were quite heavy to lift.

So, Su Nuannuan and Su Sanquan went to the county town with Chen Xiuting.

Upon arriving in the county town, the three went straight to the post office.

Chen Xiuting bought a stamp and began filling in the addresses of her two daughters.

Su Nuannuan glanced at it.

It was actually in Zhejiang Province.

Previously, she only knew that her two older sisters had gone to the island, and she thought they had gone to the southernmost province of Hainan. She did not expect that they had gone to Zhejiang Province, which is not far from Heilongjiang Province.

When we have time later, we can take our parents to visit our two older sisters.

After sending the package, Chen Xiuting didn't go home. Instead, she took the two of them to a department store.

"Mom, what do you want to buy?"

Su Sanquan asked curiously.

"Nuan Nuan is going to Beijing in a month. I need to prepare some things for her."

Chen Xiuting had already made up her mind.

At the same time, I was glad that I had earned 300 yuan before, otherwise I wouldn't have had money to buy things for my daughter.

The department store was as bustling as ever.

When the three of them arrived, they ran into Yu Weiwei.

"Nuan Nuan, you're shopping at the department store too? Let's go together."

After Yu Weiwei finished speaking, she turned to look at her mother, Zhou Yinglan.

Su Nuannuan then noticed that Zhou Yinglan was following behind Yu Weiwei. She quickly introduced her to Chen Xiuting.

"Hello, Aunt Zhou. This is my mother, Chen Xiuting."

Then, he looked at Chen Xiuting.

"Mom, this is Weiwei's mother, Zhou Yinglan."

After listening to Su Nuannuan's explanation, Chen Xiuting realized that Nuannuan had bought the scraps of fabric from their family. The fact that they sold so many scraps of fabric to them clearly showed that they were helping them, and Chen Xiuting felt very grateful.

Chen Xiuting and Zhou Yinglan are both straightforward people, and they quickly became good friends.

Zhou Yinglan also learned at this time that Chen Xiuting came to the department store to buy things for Su Nuannuan to go to university.

"Nuan Nuan actually got into university! Which university did she get into?"

Zhou Yinglan was pleasantly surprised.

Chen Xiuting felt very proud, but she didn't show it on her face.

"It's Beijing University. It's just a bit far from home."

As soon as Chen Xiuting said those words, Zhou Yinglan was stunned and stood there in shock.

Beijing University is the most prestigious university in China. The fact that Zhou Yinglan didn't faint from excitement upon learning that someone close to her had been admitted to Beijing University was already a good sign.

Even so, Zhou Yinglan took a few deep breaths to calm her excitement.

Zhou Yinglan's gaze towards Su Nuannuan is different now.

Su Nuannuan's lips twitched as she looked at the smugness in her mother's eyes and brows.

Indeed, no one dislikes Versailles, regardless of the era.

Yu Weiwei was also shocked.

She never expected that her best friend, who usually slacked off and was at the bottom of the class, would get into university, and even the best university in the country.

No wonder everyone else applied to third-rate universities in their own province, but Nuannuan was the only one who applied to Beijing University.

She originally thought her best friend had given up completely, but she didn't expect that her friend would actually pass the exam.

"Nuan Nuan, you're amazing."

Yu Weiwei's eyes sparkled as she looked at Su Nuannuan.

Seeing this, Su Sanquan's heart involuntarily clenched a few times, and his ears turned slightly red.

"Waaaaah, I didn't get into university."

Yu Weiwei, who was just happy for Su Nuannuan's admission to Beijing University, suddenly burst into tears.

Before Su Nuannuan could say anything, Su Sanquan became anxious.

"Nuan Nuan, why is she crying?"

Zhou Yinglan was unaware that her daughter was heartbroken.

"She's upset because she didn't get into university. Don't worry about her, she'll be fine in a bit."

It wasn't that Zhou Yinglan was heartless, but ever since Yu Weiwei learned that she hadn't gotten into university, she would cry every now and then.

At first, she and her husband patiently comforted her and encouraged her to try again next year, but this only made her more upset. Eventually, they both got used to it.

Su Nuannuan could tell that Yu Weiwei was really upset, so she quickly comforted her.

"Alright, alright, stop crying. If you don't pass this year, you'll have another chance next year, right?"

Seeing that Yu Weiwei still had tears in her eyes, Su Nuannuan thought of a solution.

"How about I tutor you?"

As soon as Su Nuannuan spoke, Zhou Yinglan's eyes lit up, and Yu Weiwei stopped crying.

Both of them stared intently at her.

Feeling uncomfortable being stared at by the two men.

Zhou Yinglan was very happy.

"That's great. With Nuannuan's help, Weiwei will definitely be able to get into university next year."

Yu Weiwei was also very happy.

She wanted to go to university like Nuannuan. But she was too slow-witted. She would get sleepy as soon as she looked at a book.

Thinking back to how Nuannuan was just like her before but was able to get into university, she knew she must have a way to help her.

Both mother and daughter had the same intuition at that moment.

And so, Su Nuannuan's plan to tutor Yu Weiwei was finalized.

Upon hearing that Yu Weiwei would also be going to university, Su Sanquan pursed his lips.
