Chapter 83 Exam Rewards

After chatting with Aunt Meihua, Zhong Hui walked home carrying strawberries. As soon as she reached downstairs, she saw the three children coming back.

"How come you're so fast?" It seemed like she had just delivered it not long ago.

"Mom, Brother Zhong Xu did very well in the exam this time. He scored over 80 in both subjects. He pulled us to run like crazy, saying he wanted to come back to get a reward." Linlin said while panting.

"Really? Congratulations, Zhong Xu, you can finally have a good new year this year." Zhong Hui said sincerely, it's not easy for this child.

I'm in the fifth grade now. In previous years, I would act like a quail during the Chinese New Year, for fear of being asked about my grades by adults.

Zhong Xu chuckled: "Aunt, I'm going to show my parents the notice."

"Go, go." Zhong Hui waved her hand and said with a smile.

Seeing Zhong Xu running into the elevator like a gust of wind, Zhong Hui turned around and asked about Linlin and Xiaojuan's grades.

Linlin is in the third grade and Xiaojuan is in the fourth grade. The three children are one year apart in age.

"I got 98 in math and 95 in Chinese," Linlin said proudly. "Third in the class."

"My daughter is awesome." Zhong Hui gave her a thumbs up.

"Where's Xiaojuan?"

"Aunt, I did pretty well in the exam. I got 90 in math and 87 in Chinese." Xiaojuan was very satisfied. This was her best exam result.

"That's great, my aunt has a reward." Zhong Hui also gave her a thumbs up.

"Mom, what reward is it?" Linlin looked at Zhong Hui eagerly.

Xiaojuan also looked at Zhong Hui: "Auntie, what's the reward?"

"It's a secret. Just wait." Zhong Hui said mysteriously.

"What gift?" Linlin and Xiaojuan kept asking questions until they got into the elevator.

Zhong Hui said she would not tell them anything and just let them guess.

"Don't worry, I will definitely give it to you." Zhong Hui kept it a secret.

I went upstairs, and before I even entered the house, I heard Zhong Xu laughing from next door: "Mom, my grades are pretty good this time, right? I deserve a reward, right?"

Yang Fangqin looked at the notice and smiled with satisfaction: "No problem, what reward do you want? We've agreed on it. It can be satisfied within a reasonable range."

"Yeah, long live Mom." Zhong Xule's voice was three feet high.

"I want a bicycle and a Lego puzzle." Zhong Xu quickly put forward his request.

Yang Fangqin frowned: "No, I can only take one! Choose one out of the two!"

"Mom, didn't you say that I can have whatever I want?" Zhong Xu was very anxious.

"I also said, it's within a reasonable range." Yang Fangqin refused to agree no matter what.

What Zhong Xu wanted was not cheap. He refused to accept an ordinary bicycle, as this one cost more than two thousand.

I also want Lego, the most expensive kind in the toy store.

"Choose two yourself." Yang Fangqin spread her hands.

Zhong Xu pouted. It was so hard to be a child. It was a rare opportunity for him to do well in the exam. Why couldn't he be satisfied this time?

He didn't dare to think about the next time. How could he do well in every exam?

Zhong Hui came in and saw Zhong Xu muttering to himself, reluctant to give up either of them.

Zhong Hui smiled and said, "Zhong Xu, you did well on the test this time, and your aunt will also give you a reward."

Zhong Xu's eyes lit up and he immediately said, "Aunt, I want Lego."

Then he turned to Yang Fangqin and said, "Mom, I want that bicycle."

Zhong Hui and Yang Fangqin looked at each other. Wow, this guy reacts very quickly.

"Okay, auntie will buy you Lego." It was rare for the child to do well in the exam, so Zhong Hui agreed immediately.

Yang Fangqin didn't want to buy so many things for her at first, but she nodded after hearing this. Okay, she didn't want to be a spoiler mother.

She already knew her brother's reward, but she didn't know what her own reward was. Linlin and Xiaojuan came around from both sides.

"Mom~"

"Auntie~"

Zhong Hui was so annoyed that she decided to just forget it and not give up on giving any surprises.

Zhong Hui said helplessly, "Each of you will get a set of the latest Barbie dolls. They're under the bed in my room. Go find them yourselves."

"Yeah, Barbie doll, let's go find gifts." Linlin and Xiaojuan ran away like the wind.

Zhong Hui shook her head and laughed, "I bought it yesterday when I was shopping with He Yanqing. I wanted to give them a surprise, but these two kids couldn't wait even a day."

"Let alone the children, even the adults can't wait. Who wants to wait for a gift?" Yang Fangqin said.

"That's right." Zhong Hui nodded.

"Yes, yes, so, Mom, Aunt, when can I buy my reward?" Zhong Xu leaned over and asked in a flattering manner.

"I won't keep you waiting any longer, let's go now." Zhong Hui said, and went home to get the car keys.

"That's great, auntie, you are my dear auntie."

"What are you talking about? If they are not relatives, they could be distant relatives." Zhong Hui said with a smile.

When Zhong Hui walked into the house, Linlin and Xiaojuan had already found the gifts and were opening the boxes.

Seeing Zhong Hui coming back, they said without even looking up, "Thank you, Mom. I love this Barbie doll."

"Thank you, auntie."

Zhong Hui smiled, as long as they liked it, "I'm going to take your brother Zhong Xu to the toy store. Do you want to go out and play?"

They both shook their heads: "No, we want to play at home."

Well, since they had received new gifts, they were most interested in it, so Zhong Hui didn't force them.

He took the car keys, and went out with Yang Fangqin and the excited Zhong Xu.

Zhong Xu specifically requested to go to the largest toy store in the city that had just opened. Yang Fangqin even joked with him, "You have quite a lot of requirements."

Zhong Xu was cheerful and silent, thinking in his heart whether he could get some reward from his father in the evening for his notice.

When they arrived at the toy store, Zhong Xu took them straight to the third floor and bought bicycles and Legos in one go.

Zhong Hui and Yang Fangqin each spent more than two thousand yuan on him.

"This is such an expensive bicycle, you must ride it well. Don't give up after riding it once or twice. Otherwise, I won't buy anything for you in the future," Yang Fangqin warned.

"I know, I know. You must ride well. I will ride a bike to school from now on." Zhong Xu said happily.

Touching the bicycle in one hand and Lego in the other, Zhong Xu was so happy that he almost flew away. The reward for doing well in the exam was so great. Today was like Chinese New Year.

Seeing Zhong Xu so happy, Zhong Hui couldn't help but laugh: "Children nowadays are much happier than we were back then."

"Who says it's not true? I remember when I was a kid, I couldn't even get enough to eat. If my mother could buy some cloth to make me a new dress during the Chinese New Year, I would be happy for the whole year."

"I even made new clothes. My family was poor back then, so if someone could buy me a red hairband during the Chinese New Year, I would be happy for a long time."

"Tsk tsk, they are so happy now. They can buy whatever they want. If they don't study hard, they really deserve a beating." Yang Fangqin was obviously saying this to Zhong Xu.

Unfortunately, Zhong Xu was so engrossed in his bicycle and Lego at the moment that he didn't hear it at all.

Zhong Xu didn't respond. Yang Fangqin then remembered something and asked, "Zhong Xu, now that you've bought everything you wanted most, what are you going to do with the money in your piggy bank?"

Zhong Xu looked at his mother warily: "I'll keep the money. Don't even think about taking my piggy bank."

He would have a lot of use for the money he saved.
