The dragon tribe's most beloved little princess found herself in an era of scarcity, lacking clothes and food. Fortunately, she had a grandmother who doted on her as if she were the apple of he...
Chapter 649 Only One Person Can Go to High School
Seeing that the delicious food hadn't made his daughter happy, Chen Jianjun said, "In a couple of days, Dad will take my darling hunting in the mountains!"
Even so, it still didn't completely appease the little one.
When it comes to things they care about, the dragons have an extremely strong competitive spirit!
"Sweetie, I've booked tickets to America. I'm taking you abroad for a trip!" Gu Tingyun suddenly said.
He booked the plane ticket the day before yesterday, but didn't tell anyone until the day the results came out.
The moment he saw the essay topic, Young Master Gu knew that his little hamster would most likely not get a perfect score.
Upon hearing this, Helian Jiao's eyes instantly lit up: "Great! Great!"
She'd been wanting to meet the dragons of the West for a long time!
Although Gu Tingyun said it was fabricated, if there are Eastern dragons that look just like her, then there must also be real Western dragons.
They're just hiding them. Once she gets there, she'll definitely find them and take them all down!
So the little princess immediately forgot her disappointment at only getting second place and excitedly asked Gu Tingyun when they could set off...
As for the other children in the Chen family, their academic performance varied greatly.
Sanni and Chen Erbao both got into No. 1 Middle School.
Sanni is smart and hardworking. She knows that only through education can a girl get ahead, so her academic performance has always been among the best.
Chen Erbao was quick-witted and intelligent, and with Zhou Zhaodi supervising his studies,
Chen Dabao was simply not cut out for studying and failed to get into high school.
Zhou Zhaodi knew that her eldest son was not very bright, just like his father, so she didn't force him.
With such talent, there was nothing she could do.
Moreover, even with a junior high school diploma, one can get a job as a temporary worker in a factory, and if one works diligently for a few years, there is a chance to become a permanent employee.
Besides, Da Bao is already twenty this year, it's time for him to find a wife!
The eldest daughter of the eldest brother was admitted to No. 2 Middle School, and the second daughter was admitted to No. 3 Middle School.
However, due to limited family finances, only one of them could attend high school.
When I get to high school, I'll have to pay tuition, and it's impossible for my parents to pay for that anymore. Besides, the cost of materials and other things will be even higher then!
Although Da Ni's grades were better, the eldest son and his wife both preferred Er Ni to go.
It's not that I'm biased towards Erni, but rather that Dani is already twenty years old and it's time for her to get married.
If I study for another three years, I'll really be an old maid, and it'll be hard to find a husband.
Originally, when Da Ni graduated from elementary school, her parents didn't want her to continue studying. It was only after Da Ni cried and begged them on her knees that they agreed.
After all these years, Da Ni has always been the most obedient and sensible. This is the first time she has asked them for a favor, and they couldn't bear to refuse.
In addition, the commune's middle school was tuition-free, so both Da Ni and Er Ni were able to finish junior high school. However, it was not possible for both of their daughters to attend high school!
At this moment, the eldest son's family was sitting inside the house, discussing this matter.
"Da Ni and Er Ni, who do you think should go to high school in the county?" Chen Jianguo said in a low voice. It had finally come to this decision.
Erni stood in front of her parents, biting her lip, and said, "Mom and Dad, I want to continue my studies!"
Her eyes were incredibly determined: even if her grades weren't good, she wanted to continue studying!
Da Ni wants to too!
But she knew that her family's circumstances simply couldn't support two people to go to high school at the same time, and she also knew that she was too old to continue her studies.
Besides, she's the older sister, so she should give way to her younger sister.
So Da Ni, suppressing her sadness, said considerately, "Mom and Dad, I won't study anymore. Let Er Ni go to school instead."
