Chapter 360: Brought Honor and Fame

He Jinxuan entered the yard, rolled up his sleeves, and got ready to start: "Just watch and see."

Ye Siyan chimed in, revealing the scoop: "Sister Xinyan, Uncle is going to make chive and egg pancakes today. He’s made them many times; don’t worry, they’re really tasty. But before, my brother and I have eaten quite a few pancakes that Uncle managed to burn."

He Jinxuan glared at the little nephew, thinking: Is this kid praising me or outing my failures?

Feeling the unfriendly vibe from Uncle, Ye Siyan quickly covered his mouth with his little hand.

Xinyan paid no mind to the little dispute between nephew and uncle, and directly went inside to get the little ones’ gifts — two new sets of sportswear for each, ready to be worn in a few days: "Come, check these out, see if you like them."

The two little ones were naturally delighted to see the new clothes, but they turned their heads to look at Uncle — their message could not have been clearer.

Seeing He Jinxuan nod to them, they finally expressed their joy: "Thank you, Sister Xinyan."

Hearing the little ones’ address, He Jinxuan felt disgruntled inside. It was tolerable before, but these two little guys knew they were a couple now, and despite all his efforts, none of his threats or bribes made them change; they even said they’d change it after they were married and cheered him on. So annoying.

Looking at his joyful little nephews, he felt even less content — he didn’t get a gift, but they did first.

Afterward, he looked at Xinyan with a face full of grievance, almost making Xinyan burst into laughter. She couldn’t stand it; that expression — if the people at the factory saw, they’d surely be shocked.

Originally, he wanted to give a watch to the little girl, but hadn’t had the chance; the future father-in-law had beaten him to it.

Xinyan pretended not to see, laughing as she played around with the two children, filling the small yard with joyous laughter.

As for Qiu Qingmei’s matter, He Jinxuan didn’t want to bring it up to her early, fearing it would affect her mood. Better to wait until she receives the admission letter to tell her.

Those who can’t stand others doing well are not worth sympathizing with.

He Jinxuan really put in the effort, quickly making the chive and egg pancakes, and even cooked a small pot of millet porridge, scooping some spicy pickled cucumbers made by Xinyan from the small jar — a perfect breakfast.

Once everything was prepared, he called out to the three still playing around in the yard: "Wash your hands, it’s time to eat."

The scene was truly beautiful, and He Jinxuan couldn’t help but envision the future.

Indeed, it was not disappointing—He Jinxuan’s little chive and egg pancakes were quite good. Xinyan gave him a thumbs up with a charming smile: "Keep it up, I’m rooting for you."

Seeing her enjoy them, He Jinxuan smiled and served her another piece: "Glad you like it, have more."

Knowing Sister Xinyan needed to go to school, the two little ones showed understanding, finishing their meal and heading off to play with their friends.

Nowadays, they’ve long blended in with the children from the Mechanical Factory.

He Jinxuan was very considerate, knowing Xinyan didn’t like washing dishes, whenever they ate together, this job was basically his, without Xinyan needing to speak up.

After tidying up the yard, the two of them cuddled for a bit before leaving the yard together, parting ways at the entrance of the residential area.

By the time Xinyan arrived at the school, the school’s gate already had new banners hanging, and more than one.

As soon as she reached the gate, someone from the gatehouse ran toward the principal’s office, shouting on the way: "She’s here, she’s here, Han Xinyan has arrived at school."

Principal Feng and Director Qiao promptly rose from their seats, smiling widely as they left the office. Seeing Han Xinyan being surrounded and escorted over, their mood was exceedingly good.

Principal Feng’s face wrinkled with joy: "Xinyan, well done, you’ve brought glory and fame to our school."

How could he not be happy? Last time a math competition put the high school offspring of the Mechanical Factory on the map in the city, and this time Xinyan directly got the science champion title—these days, he’d even been laughing in his dreams.

Xinyan didn’t expect the school leaders to come out, feeling a bit embarrassed: "Hello, school leaders, hello teachers."

Director Qiao continued: "Good, good, good, Xinyan, you’ve done brilliantly. Come, come, come, let’s sit down and talk inside."

Just as he finished speaking, they heard cars driving up, more than one.

Then the school leaders welcomed them once again; it turned out officials from the province and city, along with provincial newspaper reporters, had arrived.

Principal Feng and the others greeted them warmly.
