"After all, scoring a perfect top score is such a joyous occasion for our family. When they step outside and chat with others, there’s a great chance they might accidentally spill the beans."
Kang Li said "Oh," indicating he understood, and then heard his mother continue: "Our village has a few won who love gossiping. Once they find out our family suddenly produced several college students at once, especially you scoring the perfect top score, whether out of jealousy or for other reasons, they’re bound to gather and talk about our family. But I doubt they can say anything nasty."
Their family conducts themselves uprightly, and their children got into college through real abilities. Even if soone drags their family, or her and her precious daughter, into gossip, what can they do besides feeling envious?
Just as Cai Xiufen finished speaking, the telephone rang.
"Hello..."
Cai Xiufen sat on the sofa next to the phone, picked up the receiver, and heard Captain Kang’s voice coming from the other end. Her eyebrows twitched slightly, and she said:
"It’s , Li Bao and Yanqing are here, you can speak directly... What? An award?! Director Wu, during lunch today, brought leaders from the provincial, city, and county education departnts, and the principal of the town’s middle school also visited our ho... How much?
Five thousand! That much... All for Li Bao’s award? Okay, okay, I know..."
Cai Xiufen’s eyes were nearly overflowing with a smile: "Keep the money safe, it’s Li Bao’s. When we return ho, you give the money to Li Bao... Yes, that’s how it should be, it’s good that the elders are perceptive and know what to say,
Exactly... My health is good, Li Bao and Yanqing and Ruirui are all fine. That’s it, nothing else, okay, then that’s it, goodbye."
After putting the receiver back on the phone, Cai Xiufen’s gaze fell on Kang Li: "You heard it all, right? Provincial, city, and county education departnt leaders ca to our ho today, with Director Wu leading you. Your middle school principal also ca, they all ca to our ho to deliver your award!
The province gave three thousand, the city gave one thousand, the county gave six hundred, the commune gave three hundred, and the town’s middle school gave one hundred. Li Bao, I really didn’t expect studying hard and scoring the top score could also earn rewards. Your dad was very happy on the phone just now, telling repeatedly how amazing you are and how proud he is!"
"..."
Kang Li was stunned for a while, then she ca to her senses and said: "I didn’t even take the college entrance exam in our place, why would the provincial, city, county education departnts, the commune, and the town’s middle school give an award?"
Luo Yanqing: "You didn’t take the college entrance exam at ho, but your perfect score standing originates there."
"I understand now, our province, city, county education departnts, and the commune, town’s middle school think I got a perfect science score and feel it’s a great honor, so they gave a reward."
Kang Li realized.
Luo Yanqing nodded: "That’s how it is."
Next door, at the Wen’s family.
Upon learning that recruitnt teachers from three renowned universities ca specifically to seek out Kang Li, hoping to recruit this perfect science top scorer to their universities, Su Man’s jealousy grew like weeds, wildly sprouting.
The more she thought, the more jealous she beca, and the deeper the jealousy, the angrier she got, resulting in her skipping lunch. Alright, she didn’t make lunch at all and lay in bed sulking.
Wen Siyuan said nothing about this, fetched the three Wen Yue sisters ho, personally went to the kitchen to prepare so noodles for himself and his three daughters, sprinkled with scallions, and placed two poached eggs in each bowl. The four of them ate their fill, tidied up the kitchen, and left the house.
"Aren’t you hungry?"
After taking the three Wen Yue sisters to school and returning, Wen Siyuan intended to head to the study, but he stood in the living room for a while before he finally stepped toward his and Su Man’s bedroom.
