Chapter 655 The Angel of the East

"The Chen family must have been blessed with good fortune to have such a smart and beautiful granddaughter!"

"Why am I not so lucky! You can't compare yourself to others!"

...

Although the people in the commune were used to Gu Tingyun and Guaibao winning first place and receiving bonuses, it used to be only ten or twenty yuan. This time, however, it was a full several hundred yuan, which immediately made everyone gasp.

I was filled with envy!

If someone wins a 300 yuan bonus, it's enough for the whole family to eat and drink without worry for a whole year!

The other people in the old house were also surprised; the bonus was too high!

Yet, it feels perfectly natural that this happened to my precious child!

Some people were sour and jealous of the Chen family, muttering, "She's just a money-loser. No matter how well she studies, she'll get married sooner or later and become a breadwinner for her husband's family!"

However, this generous bonus made the people of the commune realize once again the fact that studying hard can earn a lot of money.

Many people have made up their minds to let their children continue their studies in school!

In their minds, Gu Tingyun and Guaibao have both graduated and left. Their own child isn't stupid, so why can't he get a good score?

It's worth a try!

"Next, please welcome Gu Tingyun and Chen Jiao to the stage to receive their awards!"

After a while, Zhao Mancang and the others calmed down a bit before they spoke.

The two walked hand in hand onto the stage, where representatives from the school, commune, and town immediately presented them with awards and shook hands.

When the real money was handed to them, the people below started talking again.

Even after the commendation ceremony ended, it remained a topic of conversation in the village for quite some time.

The award winners, Gu Tingyun and He Lianjiao, went to Beijing to catch a flight to the United States three days after the commendation ceremony.

The train to the town has only been running for a few years; to catch a plane, you have to go to the provincial capital.

Only a few large airports across the country have international routes.

Gu Tingyun remembered that Guaibao was afraid of heights, so she put an eye mask on her and coaxed her to sleep when the plane took off.

The only time I woke her up was during mealtimes. After she ate and went to the bathroom, I let her go back to sleep.

Then, I gently woke her up only after the plane landed: "Sweetie, we've arrived."

Helian Jiao removed her blindfold and glanced out the window, still a little dazed: "Why is it still dark?"

"You forgot? There's a twelve-hour time difference between the US and China," Gu Tingyun said, as she unscrewed the lid of the water glass and gave her a drink.

After drinking the water, the little princess perked up considerably: "Oh right, we're in America now!"

"I slept so well!"

She stood up, stretched, and fully woke up. Excitedly, she exclaimed, "Let's go, let's get off the plane quickly!"

"Okay." Gu Tingyun carried the suitcase in one hand and held her hand with the other as they lined up to get off the plane.

After getting off the plane, many foreigners stared at Helian Jiao because she was so exquisitely beautiful.

Her face was fair and delicate, her lips were rosy and plump, her eyes were big and bright, her eyelashes were thick and curled like small fans, and her long hair was black and shiny. She was so exquisite that she didn't look real.

She has fair skin, a tall and slender figure with good proportions, and unlike most Asians, she is not too thin and frail. The curves of her arms and legs are full of powerful beauty.

"Oh my God, she must be an angel from the East! Her black hair and eyes are so beautiful!" Some passersby even exclaimed in English.
