Chapter 303 Made Grandma proud
Grandma Yao was very efficient; after speaking with Yao Shula, she went back and started preparing for the matter.
They were even more enthusiastic than when they were organizing the wedding of their own son or daughter.
These past two days, everyone has seen Grandma Yao carrying her small cloth bag and walking around the streets of Yun County.
Whenever someone she knows sees her, or she sees her, Grandma Yao will definitely say a few words to them, and every single word she says will revolve around her granddaughter getting the top score in the city.
"Yes, you know that my granddaughter became the top scorer in the city?"
Oh dear, it was just average! Not even my best! I didn't do well on one of the tests, what a pity, I regretted it when I got back!
"Yes, yes, yes, the child has been smart and loves learning since childhood. Isn't that just incredibly lucky?"
"Absolutely! Such a joyous occasion deserves a banquet; we should let everyone see our daughter, the top scholar!"
Let Shuxin talk to the children about how to study hard, and let her share her secrets to getting first place.
"What are you saying? We can't not invite you, even if we don't invite anyone else. You have two kids taking the college entrance exam next year, right?"
This is a good opportunity to let Shuxin, a senior, talk to them!
"You absolutely must come! It's at my granddaughter-in-law's restaurant, Sunday noon!"
"Oh dear, I also wanted to let my child stay in Yun County for a few more days, but she's going to university in Shanghai, so she needs to get familiar with the environment beforehand!"
Her sister will take her with her.
You promised, you'll definitely come! No need to buy clothes for Shuxin, she has plenty of clothes now, she doesn't need anything…
...
Grandma Yao was so happy that she went to each household to inform them herself. In the past, she never worried about these things and always let the younger generation in the family do the notifications. She was too lazy to go out!
Grandma Yao took a hands-on approach to Yao Shuxin's matter, as if afraid that others wouldn't know that Yao Shuxin was her granddaughter.
Sunday arrived quickly.
On the busiest Sunday, Zhong Xiaochun and his parents put up two red papers at the entrance of their restaurant.
On the left are the words "Today's private event," and on the right are the words "The top scholar personally attended"...
Yao Shula's eyes twitched. She quickly tugged at Zhong Xiaochun's sleeve and asked if it was going too far, and whether Zhong Xiaochun's parents would have any objections.
Zhong Xiaochun immediately shook his head and pulled Yao Shula behind the counter to talk.
"Pass? Not at all! This is the solution my parents came up with! My dad said that Yun County only produces one city champion every few years!"
Who knows when it will be released again!
He was originally thinking of changing the name of our restaurant to "Top Scholar Restaurant," but I didn't agree. I told him that Grandma would definitely disagree, so he gave up.
Sure enough, those two red papers at the door were written by him personally.
Also, look into the kitchen. My brother, my sister-in-law, and my two nephews are all helping out there!
My dad said that it's a blessing to be able to eat the dishes cooked by their own hands when the top student is the best student in the class. Maybe our family can produce a top student in the class!
Alright, stop worrying about it. Take Shuxin and go with Grandma to meet people!
"With my family in the kitchen, we're sure everyone will be satisfied with their meal," Zhong Xiaochun said, pushing Yao Shula out from behind the counter.
Yao Shula was stunned for a long time...
Um, the Top Scholar Restaurant... Old Master Zhong has quite the business sense!
Just as Yao Shula was leading Yao Shuxin toward Grandma Yao, who was smiling and greeting the guests, Yao Chunian also came over carrying a box.
"Sister Chun Nian, what are you carrying?" Yao Shula and Yao Shuxin quickly went to greet her.
"You two don't move it. I can move it myself. You don't need to help. These are all small packages of peanuts that I packed overnight."
As Yao Chunian spoke, he placed the boxes he had brought on the stools in the restaurant.
Yao Shula and Yao Shuxin went over to take a look...
The peanuts were packaged in small packets on oil paper, with a red square piece of paper pasted on the outside of the oil paper.
The five large characters "Top Scholar Peanuts" caught the sisters' eyes.
Yao Shula, Yao Shuxin...
"Alright, Grandma said she wanted to prepare return gifts for the guests, something auspicious. So I said, Shuxin loves our peanuts, so I'll use peanuts as a gift." Yao Chunian said with a smile.
"Then...aren't these return gifts usually given in pairs?" Yao Shula couldn't help but ask.
"Oh, the cake vendor at the street corner specially asked Grandma to deliver the cakes to her for free, saying that Shuxin loves to buy their cakes, and that their cakes are considered top scholar cakes."
"I insist on sending it to Grandma's side without paying!" Yao Chunian said.
Yao Shula, Yao Shuxin...
Yao Shula had a feeling that people nowadays are no longer lacking in the ability to spot opportunities...
Unbeknownst to many, Shuxin's top score in the city actually boosted Yunxian County's GDP slightly...
...
At 11:30 a.m., everyone had arrived, and Zhong Xiaochun's restaurant was packed.
Everyone stared at Yao Shuxin, who was sitting at the children's table, with shining eyes.
The table with the most people in the restaurant was Yao Shuxin's.
Grandma Yao understood everyone's feelings very well; no matter which family came, they all brought their children, so she let Shuxin sit with the child...
As for the adults, they naturally sat at the same table as Yao Shula, the matriarch of the Yao family.
To Yao Shula's left sat her eldest sister-in-law's sister-in-law from her maternal family, and to her right sat her second sister-in-law's sister-in-law from her maternal family.
The two of them sat there and refused to leave, no matter what they said, as if they were afraid someone would take their spot away.
Yao Shula felt that, if possible, Grandma Yao would even put up an auction for these two spots, with the highest bidder winning...
Yao Shula smiled and spoke with everyone, sharing her experiences as the older sister of a top scorer and her parents.
The main point is to understand the child's inner desire and cultivate their love of reading...
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately nodded in agreement!
Yes, it's important to let children know that this book is for them to read, not for adults.
What do parents get in return when their children do well in school?
It just makes you look better in public, and you can talk loudly about your child's studies. Is that a lot? Not at all...
Yao Shula smiled and shared her experiences with everyone.
"Really, it's just about being comfortable and self-disciplined. I didn't do anything special, just did my job in logistics and didn't ask questions I shouldn't have asked."
Everyone agreed that this made a lot of sense, and that they would just provide logistical support for their own children's studies and resolutely refrain from asking questions they shouldn't...
Grandma Yao, seeing that everyone had arrived, glanced at the gift list Yao Funian had kept...
Good, everyone who's supposed to be here has arrived...
Grandma Yao then stood up.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Grandma Yao became even more energetic. Look, this is the face her granddaughter brought her, making her proud!
"Today, we are gathered here to celebrate my granddaughter Yao Shuxin..." Grandma Yao said with great pride.
