Chapter 337: One More Bowl of Rice



Wang Zhaozhao did his homework when he got home, and then learned the content of a lesson for the second grade of junior high school.

No matter what, she did not delay learning the content of the new course in advance, and also synchronized with the normal progress of the school to review and consolidate what she had learned.

I have also made great progress in learning foreign languages.

In addition, there is preparation for the math competition, and now it is preparation for the essay competition.

On the surface, it seems to be easy and effortless... Indeed, it is not tense or heavy, and it is carried out seriously and hard.

I get up at five in the morning to study, do my homework after school, and study until I am called to eat. From eight to ten in the evening, I persist in studying without fail.

In the morning and evening, since she started to study, the number of rest times she had could be counted on one hand and some left over.

"Dad, Mom..." When Qiao Li came home from get off work today, she didn't immediately go to hug little Dudu who was playing aside, but went straight to Xie Ailian and the others.

"This afternoon, Zhaozhao and his school hung a banner at the gate."

"Something happened in their school?"

Xie Ailian was startled.

Qiao Li: “……!”

Wang Dahai: “……!”

"You old woman, is what you said reasonable?" Wang Dahai gave Xie Ailian a blank look.

"...I didn't react well, hehe." Xie Ailian smiled awkwardly, "Xiao Qiao, why do you think Zhao's school has a banner?"

"Need I say more? The results of the competition that Zhao Yatou and the others participated in must be out." Wang Dahai said.

Yes!

Xie Ailian slapped her thigh.

Her old face was bright and she asked, "Did Zhao girl get first place again?"

Qiao Li raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Yes, our Zhao Zhao is first again."

Oh!

Xie Ailian waved her hand casually, as if it was nothing special. "Nowadays, it's not surprising at all that Zhao girl got first place in the exam. If you tell people in our Hebian Village about it, they will all..."

She didn't say anything, just shook her head, everything was said without words.

Qiao Li: “……!”

"Mom, this is a provincial-level competition. It's a little different from the previous ones." However, don't be too pretentious.

When Zhao Ailian heard this, she thought it made sense.

Wang Dahai looked up at the sky and asked abruptly, "Can I still catch the last bus now?"

ah?

Xie Ailian didn't understand, but Qiao Li did.

Haha...she couldn't help laughing.

My father-in-law’s ideas are particularly practical.

Although Wang Sibing was not at home, Wang Dahai still took out some liquor and poured himself a glass during dinner.

Wang Zhaozhao was called out for dinner and found that there would be fish and meat tonight.

She sat down and asked curiously, "Wow...why is there such a rich feast today? Is it a good day?"

"What do you think?" Xie Ailian glared at her angrily, "You're just like your fourth uncle, both of you are mean and like to hide everything."

Wang Zhaozhao blinked, reacted, and laughed.

"How can I hide it? I just want to wait until we're all here for dinner so we can tell everyone."

"snort!"

Xie Ailian snorted, not at all likable. She didn't know how to express herself or act cute.

Wang Zhaozhao smiled foolishly with a shy face.

She asked Qiao Li, "Aunt Si, why is there such a big noise in our school? Did you hear it over there?"

"Yeah, it's all over the place."

“…”

"I heard that some teachers even suggested buying firecrackers to set off."

"ah?"

Wang Zhaozhao opened his mouth so wide that setting off firecrackers was an exaggeration, right?

Qiao Li understood her expression, but said, "You won first place in this provincial competition. You don't even need to worry about setting off fireworks, let alone a few strings of firecrackers."

"Haha, haha."

Wang Zhaozhao laughed awkwardly. Should she just focus on eating?

Xie Ailian sneered. The little girl was like the old man in this respect, a little shy and thin-skinned.

The food was so good that Wang Zhaozhao drank an extra bowl of rice.

No matter what Xie Ailian asked, she just shook her head with an innocent look on her face.

"I don't know. When I got out of school, I saw a lot of people gathered at the school gate, and then I saw three banners hanging..."

"Neither your principal nor your teacher called you over to tell you what was going on?"

"No."

“……!”

Xie Ailian was speechless. What was going on at this school? Back in the day at the commune primary school, Principal Liu would even call parents to the school to discuss the situation in person.

Qiao Li thought of a possibility, "Maybe Principal Chen and the others were too excited and forgot to tell the person involved."

Xie Ailian: “……!”

Wang Zhaozhao; “……!”

Looks like, yeah?

Yes, yes, Principal Chen was so excited that he forgot to call Wang Zhaozhao and others over to inform them.

At this moment, she was having dinner and sharing this happy event with her lover. Suddenly, she remembered that she had not called Wang Zhaozhao and others over to formally inform them.

Bang!

She slammed the table.

The dishes jumped up and her husband was startled. Why did he suddenly bang the table for no reason?

"I was so happy that I immediately started preparing the banners right after hanging up the phone. School was almost over, and I was so anxious about the teachers' meeting that I forgot to notify the person involved."

“…”

The warehouse manager of the cannery was speechless and a little amused.

So, you were all celebrating over there, but the person involved only found out that he had won a prize after seeing the banner?

But at least I can see the banner...

The next day, Principal Chen arrived at school at 7:30 and immediately asked someone to call Wang Zhaozhao and others to his office.

Let them sit down and told them the result of the game.

Tied for first place?

Wang Zhaozhao never expected this.

However, I felt more at ease, with a feeling of "Oh... so that's how it is."

Let her win first place and have a real sense of recognition.

"Principal, what are the rankings of the others?" Wang Zhaozhao asked.

"You want to know about Xu Yanni's ranking, right?" Principal Chen asked knowingly, glancing at her. "Xu Yanni is ranked thirteenth."

Hearing this, Xu Yanni smiled.

"Not bad, better than I thought."

She was always worried that she would be ranked after the twentieth.

Principal Chen was a little surprised by this reaction, but very satisfied. He then mentioned Zheng Yiming's ranking, eleventh.

After listening to this, Zheng Yimin shrugged.

He should have anticipated this outcome and accepted it well.

Principal Chen would definitely not express any regrets here, or ask why he didn't perform well. It would be meaningless to create negative emotions for no reason, or even make Zheng Yimin feel upset.

"Once we receive the award, this matter will be over. Next up is the essay competition, the final exam, and then the special training... In short, everyone has a long future ahead of them. I hope everyone can keep working hard."

Principal Chen said so.

Wang Zhaozhao and the others looked like good students. She was very pleased to see this and let them go back to the classroom.

At the same time, at the Zhushan County Bus Station, Wang Dahai took the mid-term bus back to Hebian Village.
