Chapter 36 Rewards

Qin Qing pricked up her ears to listen to the couple's opinions, but there was no movement in the room. After a few moments, a sound that was not suitable for children came from the room. She quickly walked away with a frown on her face.

She has no hobby of eavesdropping.

I just kept those words firmly in mind.

The next day.

Liu Gufeng walked into the classroom with a stack of test papers in his hand, looking quite proud. "Classmates, this time in the quiz, there's a student in our class who got full marks in all subjects."

Now part of Deli Junior High School has gone to Xiayang Village. They are concentrating their efforts on primary school, and now they have achieved good results and are confident.

"Congratulations to Qin Qing for taking first place in the first joint exam with Xiayang Village Primary School!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Teacher Liu's face turned red with excitement. He was very proud to have such a good student in his class.

The class immediately burst into warm applause.

Qin Qing was a little embarrassed by this situation. After all, he had the brains of a young man and had studied for more than ten years, but his grades were only in elementary school.

To be honest, I'm not very proud.

But what Teacher Liu said next gave her some pleasant surprise.

"To encourage this kind of hard work and eagerness to learn, the school is giving out a reward of ten kilograms of sorghum flour!"

This is equivalent to the scholarship in later generations.

The teachers are also taking great pains, fearing that the parents of these students will say that they do not want their children to go to school, so they have to do everything they can to retain these rare and excellent students.

"Qin Qing, come to my office after school."

Liu Gufeng continued reading.

"Xia Dong, Zhang Kai, Zhou Jianqun, Li Tiedan..." The test papers were handed to them one by one.

It's nothing more than some verbal encouragement or something like that.

There are very few people like Qin Qing who can get rewards.

She was already sweltering on the way home from school, and this time carrying a ten-pound bag of sorghum flour made her even more exhausted.

Qin Qing didn't dare to carry the things openly. Nowadays, when people are very hungry, they will do anything. She quietly stuffed the things into her bag.

After hanging it all the way, the belt made his shoulders burn. After returning home, Qin Qing opened his collar and took a look. There was a purple-red bloodstain on his shoulder, which looked scary.

"Nannan! What should I do?!"

Zhu Lihua heard the sound of her daughter coming out, but didn't see anyone, so she went into the house and happened to see this scene.

She rubbed her daughter's shoulders with heartache.

Qin Qing grimaced in pain.

"Mom, be gentle, be gentle..." Qin Qing freed one hand and pulled out the sorghum noodles hidden in his bag.

"Look what this is?" He looked like he was trying to take credit for it.

Zhu Lihua picked up a little and ground it.

"Sorghum flour!" She was surprised and gently shook the flour on her fingertips into the bag.

"Where are you from?"

Qin Qing smiled, her eyes curved. "I got first place in the exam last week, it's a reward from the school."

Zhu Lihua hugged her daughter, unable to hide the joy in her eyes.

"My daughter is so amazing. I should have asked your dad to pick you up earlier. Look how rubbed your shoulders are." There was a hint of heartache mixed with the proud smile.

"It's okay, it will be fine in two days..." Qin Qing picked up the sorghum noodles and was about to take them to the kitchen.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Lihua took her hand with a smile on her face.

"Leave it here, Mom will do it."

Qin Qing obeyed and let go.

Seeing that it was still early to make dinner, Zhu Lihua hurriedly scooped two bowls of sorghum noodles and went out.

…

Song Huilan had just finished work and was sitting under the eaves tapping her legs due to fatigue and back pain. Qin Tongtong and her brother were huddled in the room reading.

Only Old Mrs. Lu was busy in the steaming kitchen.

"Sister-in-law, you're here." As soon as Zhu Lihua stepped through the door, Song Huilan immediately straightened her back and responded indifferently.
