Chapter 298 Shura deserves the most credit
The Shu family, the Yao family, and the Zhou family from next door, along with Aunt Yao who rushed over as soon as she got off work, all gathered in Yao Shula's yard.
After setting off the firecrackers, everyone happily thanked the neighbors who were offering their congratulations, and finally everyone could sit down in the yard.
Dinner was delivered from Zhong Xiaochun's restaurant; Yao Shula's family did not cook.
After everyone gathered together for a simple meal, they sat around in the courtyard chatting.
Inside and outside the courtyard, you can hear crickets chirping.
Grandma Yao, the oldest among them, looked around at everyone in the yard and was in a very good mood.
Looking again at the Yao siblings surrounded by everyone, he felt even more satisfied.
Look, the top scholar is from the Yao family. Last time he was the county's top scholar, and this time he's the city's top scholar!
The Yao family is really lucky; their ancestral graves are emitting auspicious smoke!
Seeing the Yao siblings smiling but not saying a word, Grandma Yao knew that it was time for an old lady like her to speak up.
"Shuxin's excellent performance this time is the result of three years of hard work. It's not something that can be achieved without effort, but rather the result of hard work!" Grandma Yao began to summarize.
Little Tiantian, a master of applause, quickly took the lead in clapping...
He clapped his hands until they were bright red.
Led by Xiaotian, everyone immediately joined in the applause.
Grandma Yao was even happier.
Look, the children Shula raises are so smart. Everyone can see that Shuxin is smart. If Shuxin wasn't smart, she wouldn't have gotten first place in the city.
Even Xiaotian, who isn't Lao Yao's child, is so smart now.
Shura is really good at taking care of kids!
"Over the past few years, everyone has helped Shura and her siblings a lot."
Like the Zhou family next door, they've helped Shula a lot from the very beginning, and his uncle's family, they've sent Shula a lot of things over the years.
During holidays and festivals, it's always the same: lots and lots of gifts!
"If it weren't for everyone's help, Shura and the others would definitely be having a tough time." Grandma Yao continued to praise them.
"Oh dear, Sister Yao, why are you saying that? We used to be neighbors, and now we're relatives. Aren't we all family?"
This isn't just idle talk.
Ultimately, it's Shura and her friends who are more lovable.
He's young but sensible; anyone would lend a hand if they could! You can't say that anymore; we're all family.
"Shuxin got first place in the city, and we're all so happy for him. Uncle, don't you think that makes sense?" Grandma Zhou quickly declined with a smile.
"Yes, that's right, it's all the right thing to do. These are my niece and nephew, can't we not keep an eye on them?"
But in the end, you've taken care of quite a lot here, haven't you, Auntie?
Ever since Shura and the others started living on their own, Auntie, haven't you been helping them out from time to time? And whenever something happens, haven't you always been the first to step in?
"Auntie, you've been worrying about me a lot these past few years!" Uncle Shu said with a smile.
Grandma Yao quickly waved her hand.
“One thing at a time! What do you mean by ‘should’? If we’re talking about ‘should’... never mind, today is a good day, let’s not talk about that unpleasant person.”
Shura told me that she was worried that they wouldn't be able to make ends meet. She and her siblings didn't have any adults to support them, and they were afraid that they would be bullied to death!
Later, they realized that everyone was so nice, and no one was bullying the siblings anymore.
Everyone has helped a lot, that's a fact, and everyone can see it!
"Why do good deeds without leaving your name? You should still thank those who deserve it! Shula, Shuxin, don't you agree?" Grandma Yao looked at Yao Shula and Yao Shuxin.
Yao Shula and Yao Shuxin both nodded immediately.
"Yes! Everyone has helped us a lot over the past few years, otherwise life would have been really tough!"
"Shuxin, come on, thank you everyone!" Yao Shula gently nudged Yao Shuxin.
Yao Shuxin quickly stood up and bowed to everyone.
"Thank you everyone, thank you everyone!"
Grandma Yao nodded and continued praising.
For example, what did Miao Yamin do? She was a very good older cousin, always thinking of her younger cousin.
Whatever Yao Chunian did, this cousin also played a role as an older sister, lending a hand to Yao Shula from time to time.
And those older sisters-in-law...
Shuli and Xiaotian...
In short, Grandma Yao recounted what each person had done.
After Grandma Yao brought it up, everyone suddenly realized, "Oh, so I've done so much! I've also contributed to Shuxin getting first place in the city!"
I felt satisfied, happy, and content...
Finally, Grandma Yao turned her gaze to Yao Shula.
"Shuxin worked hard and endured hardship to get first place in the city, and Shula deserves the most credit for that." Grandma Yao looked at Yao Shula with a smile in her eyes.
Led by Xiaotian, everyone started clapping again.
That's right, if we're talking about rewards and recognition, Shura deserves the most credit.
This older sister is truly amazing. After that despicable Yao Guohua left, it was Shula who held the family together.
Shura worked tirelessly for her younger siblings, taking on the roles of both father and mother to care for them.
To allow Shuxin to focus on her college entrance exams, Shula gave up job opportunities and devoted herself entirely to taking care of her younger siblings at home.
They all knew that Yao Shula had brought Yao Shuxin meals countless times during their senior year of high school alone...
To prepare something nutritious and delicious for Yao Shuxin, Yao Shula visited almost every shop and small market in Yun County...
"Shura worked the hardest!" Grandma Zhou said first.
“Yes! Shura has worked the hardest! She's both a father and a mother!” Uncle Shu echoed.
"We've all seen how hard Shura has worked!" Aunt Yao added.
"Yes, Shura has had the hardest time. She doesn't even dare to date because of her younger siblings!"
"Who says otherwise! People used to say Shura's younger siblings were a burden, but now look... they're not a burden at all, they're quite successful!"
...
Everyone was vying to praise the Yao siblings, and the praise they gave even made Yao Shula, who considered herself to have a skin as thick as a city wall, blush a little.
Actually... she's not that great!
She didn't work that hard, but now everyone seems to view her through a filter...
It's still the kind of filter that maxes out whitening and skin smoothing.
...
Then everyone heard Miao Yamin talk about how amazing Shu Xin's achievements were.
"Shuxin scored 624, while the second-place student only scored 570."
"This year's physics exam was exceptionally difficult. Even our school's teachers couldn't solve the last question, and the provincial average score for physics was less than 20!"
"Shuxin did exceptionally well on her math, chemistry, and English tests!"
...
The more everyone listened, the more they realized that Yao Shuxin was extraordinary. Look, she could do the questions that the teacher couldn't answer. What else could she be but a top student?
Grandma Yao was so happy that she immediately made the children line up to touch Shuxin's hand again.
"If I can absorb a bit of the top scholar's talent, I dare not say I'll get first place in the city, but I could at least get first place in my class..."
