Chapter 263: Chapter 263 The Yue Family’s Top Scholar Seat

Daye Village, Yue Family.

Ever since the third child received his admission letter, the house had been continuously immersed in an atmosphere of joy and festivity.

The originally planned banquet immediately expanded to a new level.

It turned into a grand feast that combined birthday celebrations, housewarming parties, and academic achievement banquets.

Yue Xiaofang had no choice but to put her tailor shop’s business on hold for two days, and went to Mrs. Zhou to find several nimble-handed women to help out.

Yue Jiandong’s workers also came to lend a hand.

The well-connected Chai Pengfu notified everyone to make sure they were in attendance.

Among them were respected individuals such as Mrs. Zhou, Village Chief Zhang, and the Village Chief Ma from the neighboring Jinshan Village. They all received handwritten invitations from Yue Jiannan.

Many people were envious when they heard the news.

Some of those who had good relationships even came over specifically to collect invitations, hoping to have their children share in the good fortune, perhaps enabling them to get admitted to a university in the future as well.

Such treatment was by no means excessive, as among all the villages around Zhuancheng, Yue Jiannan was the only one who had been admitted to a university.

In their eyes, his importance was almost equivalent to that of the ancient Number One Scholar.

There was also someone who got admitted to a junior college, but that poor child would inevitably be overshadowed by the luster of the Yue’s third child.

Yue Jiannan could be said to have suddenly found success, and overnight he became the most celebrated individual in the village.

Many parents in the village brought gifts to the Yue Family, hoping that Yue Jiannan could touch their child, imparting a bit of that Number One Scholar’s vitality, and incidentally share some study methods and the like.

After all, Yue Jiannan was quite the talkative one. With little children looking at him with admiring eyes, he even found it rather enjoyable.

That was manageable, but the biggest problem was leaving the house.

Dong Cuifen, upon learning that Yue Jiannan had truly been admitted to a university, felt that there was no suitable girl in the village, and despite receiving numerous gifts, did not dare to come forward to propose a match.

But this did not stop many families from eagerly seeking a connection on their own.

Whenever Yue Jiannan happened to go to the fish pond, he would encounter a dozen or so shy, timid girls on the way.

Yet their glances were like fishhooks, hoping to reel in the big fish in one go.

Some, after hearing about Yue Jiannan’s former persona as a doting husband fanatic, became even more persistent, and even started imitating Yu Yaxian’s previous village-style dress.

Wearing braids and giggling before they even spoke.

How could Yue Jiannan not be panicked at that sight?

He was so frightened that he didn’t dare go out, choosing instead to stay home and boast to the visiting kids.

He even vividly fabricated stories, casting himself as an ancient student who studied hanging by his hair from beams or poking his legs with awls.

When the little children heard that they needed to hang their hair from the ceiling beams for study, and use an awl to poke their buttocks (actually, their thighs), they were frightened to tears.

They decided that they’d rather follow their fathers into the fields to farm.

The interest in learning that parents had so painstakingly inspired disappeared instantly.

Lin Chunju, seeing this, angrily smacked Yue Jiannan on the head.

"You really have too much idle time, go to the city and get the new house ready."

The newly purchased apartment was a basic unit, and Zizhu Community was no exception.

Yue Jiandong had already contacted a renovation worker who was skilled and offered fair prices. It’s just that he was too busy with business to oversee the project every day.

Since Yue Jiannan didn’t have much else to do, it was the perfect time for him to go to the city and supervise the work.

Yue Jiannan, who was also afraid of encountering various replicas of Yu Yaxian once he stepped outside, readily agreed.

He even brought his little niece along. Yue Qingqing followed him into the city and enjoyed many delicious treats.

News of the Yue Family’s banquet spread far and wide, earning it the nickname "The Number One Scholar’s Feast."

It wasn’t only Daye Village; people from several neighboring villages with children hoped to join the excitement and meet Yue Jiannan, the hope and pride of Daye Village.

As expected, the news also reached Jinshan Village.

Ma Jinbao also learned about the Yue Family’s "Number One Scholar’s Feast."
