Chapter 476 Going on stage to receive the prize money

The other three wives were secretly shocked and surprised to see this. Since their mother-in-law moved out, when had Old Lady Li come back empty-handed?!

The sun didn't rise in the west today!

That's really strange!

"Uncle Chen, Aunt Chen, is Guaibao there?" Li Zhiqing's voice came from outside the house.

Hearing the sound, Ma Xiulian went out and saw Li Zhiqing and Zhao Mancang, the commune leader, standing outside. She quickly welcomed them in: "Teacher Li, Leader Zhao, please come in and have a seat. What brings you here today?"

As they walked inside, they said, "We're here to find Guaibao."

Upon entering the house, Zhao Mancang saw Gu Tingyun there and clapped his hands, saying, "Perfect, the Gu family boy is here too, which saves us from having to make another trip."

The little boy raised his head and asked seriously, like a little adult, "Uncle Li, Uncle Zhao, what do you want to see us about?"

Gu Tingyun politely greeted the person and then fell silent.

Ma Xiulian didn't disturb her granddaughter while she was entertaining her guests, and went to the kitchen with a smile to make tea for them.

Seeing this, Zhao Mancang said with a smile, "Didn't you two get the top score in your grade? So the commune and the school have decided to give you bonuses at the regular meeting tomorrow. You two will be going up on stage to receive the bonuses, so I came to tell you in advance."

His main concern was that they were too young and might get stage fright if they suddenly went on stage.

Li Zhiqing sat beside him and nodded. He knew that neither of the two little ones were timid or shy, but it was good to let them know in advance so they could be prepared.

"Okay," Helian replied in a soft, delicate voice, as if she were being asked to fetch a piece of paper, without any emotional fluctuation.

She doesn't care how much prize money she can get, because the little princess isn't interested in money.

However, the little princess enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention on Gaotai Mountain, so she agreed very readily.

Gu Tingyun simply gave a cool "hmm," not caring about the bonus or not; the knowledge gained was a person's greatest wealth.

But Ma Xiulian and Chen Dazhu were overjoyed; they never expected that they would get paid for studying!

This is money that Guabao earned through her own abilities. No matter how much it is, it's enough for them to be glamorous in the commune!

Chen Jianjun was also very happy, but after calming down a bit, he asked curiously, "Why is the commune giving out bonuses? There has never been such a precedent before."

Li Zhiqing sighed and said, "After the autumn harvest, about thirty fewer students came to school. I'm afraid there will be even fewer when school starts in the spring. So I thought of using bonuses to incentivize the people in the commune."

Only when people see that studying can earn money will they be willing to spend money to send their children to school.

Chen Jianjun nodded in understanding.

Li Zhiqing added, "Don't tell anyone about this yet. Seeing and hearing it with your own eyes and ears will have a better effect!"

"Okay, okay!"

The Chen family readily agreed.

After seeing the two off, Ma Xiulian hugged her granddaughter and kissed her twice: "Our little genius has really made Grandma proud!"

Chen Dazhu, sitting beside him, was also happy, but he couldn't help feeling a little regretful. It would have been even better if the baby was a boy; he would definitely have brought honor to the Chen family.

The next day, Ma Xiulian dressed her granddaughter in a bright red new jacket, which made her little face look even whiter and cuter. Then, suppressing her excitement, she went to the commune dam for a meeting.

A number of people from the commune had already gathered on the dam.

Four chapters will be updated around 6 PM.

And, you all guessed the plot, this is so hard for me.
