Chapter 453

When I came back from school and stepped into the store, my eyes widened in shock at the scene in front of me.

I saw that my store was crowded with neighbors. Those familiar faces were filled with excitement and enthusiasm, as if they had also won the top spot in the imperial examination.

The appearance of Su Miao was like throwing a huge rock into an already restless lake, instantly causing the scene to explode.

Aunt Wu was sharp-eyed and was the first to shout at the top of her lungs, "Miaomiao is back! I knew she would be the top scorer! I didn't dare ask yesterday, but I was so itchy I just went to your school to see it. Wow, there's a huge banner hanging at the school gate!"

Another old man quickly chimed in, "I saw it too! Miaomiao's name was written so big, it really stood out! The school even set off fireworks, so passersby could see it. It was so lively!"

In the crowd, a young mother pulled her child and said eagerly, "Dabao! Go over and hold Sister Miaomiao's hand. Let her pass on some of her wisdom and intelligence to you! You can be as successful as your sister in the future!"

All of a sudden, all kinds of congratulations and praises came to Su Miao like a tide. She was surrounded in the center of the crowd, with a polite smile on her face, spinning like a top, responding to everyone's enthusiasm.

…

By the time she finally managed to break free from the congratulations and successfully return to the backyard, the smile on her face had become a little stiff because it had lasted for too long.

Never mind, the social work ahead will be left to her father. She has been laughing all morning and is really tired.

However, her wish to rest was not fulfilled. As soon as she sat down on the bench in the backyard, the phone rang continuously, one after another, all for her.

Last night, Su Yuanzheng called back to Sujia Village to announce the good news and talked with relatives on the phone for a long time, so no relatives called today.

The calls she received were mainly from her former teachers and classmates, all of whom were congratulating her, and their words were basically the same.

It is normal for Jiaqi and other classmates who are on good terms with her to have her home phone number.

But what made Su Miao feel strange was that some classmates who he was only half-acquainted with called him one after another, and he didn't know where the number came from.

In short, it seemed as if everyone was eager to get closer to her at this moment.

After finally getting some peace and quiet, Su Miao wanted to have some lunch and take a break when the phone rang again.

Su Miao was a little nervous because of the frequent ringing of the bell. He felt like he was having a stress reaction and jumped up from the stool as if it was a conditioned reflex.

She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, picked up the phone, and tried to make her voice sound polite and gentle: "Hello? Hello, Su Ji Food Store."

"Hello Miaomiao, I'm your homeroom teacher."

Hearing the familiar voice of the head teacher coming from the phone, Su Miao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's you~ I thought another classmate came to care about me. What's the matter?"

The head teacher seemed to hear the helplessness in her tone, couldn't help laughing, and said:

"You really need to get used to it slowly. This situation will probably continue for a while. You are now the top scorer in the college entrance examination that everyone is paying attention to.

Just as you left, the principal came over and said they wanted to interview you for the Gaokao Gold List section of the Education Newspaper and asked if you were free tomorrow."

"The Gaokao Jinbang...is it specifically for interviewing the top scorers? Does it happen every year?"

Su Miao asked doubtfully. She was not familiar with this. In her previous life, when she became the top scholar, she did not accept this interview but went directly on TV.

"This is a special section of the Guangxi Education Newspaper. Every year after the college entrance examination, an article is published. However, we don't interview students every year. In some years, we only publish the list of names, and then the publicity officer writes the article himself.

This year, they want to interview the two top scorers and some representative candidates, using real material for their writing," the homeroom teacher patiently explained.

I see. No wonder I hadn't heard of it before.

She then asked, "I'm free tomorrow. Do I need to go to school?"

"Yes, then I'll tell them to meet in the principal's office at 10 a.m. tomorrow. You don't need to prepare anything. They'll just be some standard questions."

Although the homeroom teacher said so, after all, I was going to be interviewed by official media! I had to be neat and tidy.

The next morning, Su Miao got up early. She washed her hair first, then followed the barber's instructions and carefully blew her hair into a beautiful style.

The reason why she washed her hair in the morning instead of the night before was because after she got her hair cut, she found that hair of this length was particularly prone to growing out of place when sleeping.

If you blow-dry your hair the night before and move it around a little more while you sleep, it will definitely curl outwards the next day.

If you have enough time, you may be able to restore it to its original shape by dipping it in water and blowing it, but if you are in a hurry, you can only tie it up helplessly.

So she simply got up this morning and took a shower. After all, her home was close to school and she didn't have to go out too early.

After washing her hair and blow-drying it, Su Miao carefully selected for a long time in front of the wardrobe and finally chose a knee-length dress.

Wearing this dress and pairing it with a freshly blow-dried hairdo, the whole person looks youthful, beautiful, pure and well-behaved, which fits the image of a top scholar with both high intelligence and talent in everyone's mind.

She appeared at the dining table looking refreshed in this carefully coordinated outfit.

The moment Su Yuanzheng saw his daughter, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he said with emotion: "Miaomiao, you really look like your mother."

Su Miao carefully studied her father's expression, feeling happy that her daughter had grown up and admiring her excellence.

But there is no such thing as nostalgia or unforgettable memories, not even any sense of letting go. It seems that he no longer has any thoughts about that person.

Su Miao felt relieved, but her curiosity was piqued. She couldn't help but ask, "Dad, you and my mom were introduced to each other before. Did the introducer only introduce you to one person?"

"That's not the case. We introduced two of them at that time." Su Yuanzheng replied.

"Oi~ Who's the other one? Why did you choose my mom? Because she's pretty?"

When Su Miao heard the hint of gossip, he instantly became interested and couldn't stop asking.

"Oh no! Even if I tell you, you still won't recognize me. It's all in the past now. Why are you still talking about it?"

"Speak up! Dad, speak up!" Su Miao was relentless and begged like a spoiled child.

Unable to bear his daughter's nagging, Su Yuanzheng sighed helplessly and slowly talked about the events that happened more than ten years ago.
