"The last group, Qin Yuanyao, Chi Baiyi, and Chi Naoqi, are learning to weave small lanterns from palm leaves. Teacher, please give your scores."
Before Director Jiang could finish speaking, Grandma Sun eagerly stood up and shouted, "200 points! I give it 200 points!"
The guests at the scene and the viewers in the live broadcast room were all stunned.
Huh? Two hundred points?
Isn't the maximum score 100?
Director Jiang smiled and reminded her, "Grandma Sun, the maximum score is only one hundred points, why did you double it?"
“Not only are they good at their studies, but the little girl also saved my granddaughter’s life, so I’ll give her two hundred points!” Grandma Sun pointed at Qin Yuanyao with a righteous expression: “Isn’t my granddaughter’s life worth two hundred points?”
The guests didn't have their phones with them, nor did they watch the live stream, so they didn't know how Qin Yuanyao saved Grandma Sun's granddaughter's life.
After Director Jiang gave a brief explanation, the guests finally understood.
Xu Miaotong felt dissatisfied.
Qin Yuanyao is truly her nemesis!
She finally managed to get a perfect score thanks to her son, but Qin Yuanyao actually took a different approach and got 200 points!
Qin Yuanyao is so good at stealing the spotlight!
Xu Miaotong smiled and said, "Grandma Sun, you're going to grade our learning outcomes."
The implication is that you are not asked to rate Qin Yuanyao for saving your granddaughter's life!
Grandma Sun glanced at her: "They saved my granddaughter's life while they were studying. They did so much, don't they deserve 200 points?"
Xu Miaotong was stumped by the question and could only manage a forced smile.
You think you can just give it 200 points and call it 200? Is it your decision or the production team's?!
Xu Miaotong chimed in, "Yes, if you put it that way, it certainly deserves two hundred points."
As she spoke, she glanced at Director Jiang out of the corner of her eye, seemingly casually.
See if Director Jiang will let you give him 200 points!
Director Jiang spoke up as expected: "Grandma Sun, what you said makes sense, but the rule for this mission is that the maximum score is 100 points. We can't break the rule."
"How about this," Director Jiang said, "we'll let Qin Yuanyao's group be the first to choose their dinner ingredients, okay?"
Xu Miaotong was stunned: "We have to cook dinner ourselves?"
Director Jiang straightened his back and said confidently, "Yes, we can't possibly prepare dinner for you every day."
Xu Miaotong: "..."
None of them know how to cook.
In order not to waste the ingredients they had worked so hard to obtain, they basically boiled them in water, which was really tasteless and only enough to fill their stomachs.
The best meal we had was the lavish dinner we had yesterday, thanks to Qin Yuanyao and the others.
Although she can't cook, she finally won first place, so how could she let Qin Yuanyao pick the ingredients first!
Xu Miaotong glared at Director Jiang: "If the production team doesn't want to prepare, they don't have to. We don't care anyway. But Director Jiang, the rules are set by the production team, so they have to be fair. Since my family and Qin Yuanyao all got full marks, shouldn't we be able to choose our dinner ingredients together?"
Before Director Jiang could speak, Grandma Sun spoke in a cold voice.
"Since I can't give my benefactor two hundred points, I'll treat her to dinner. The young lady saved my Huahua's life, so I should definitely treat her family to dinner."
Director Jiang smiled broadly: "It's your business if you want to treat her to dinner; our production team won't interfere."
Grandma Sun then said to Qin Yuanyao and the others, "Little girl, little boy, little child, come to Grandma's house for dinner later. Grandma will cook you all delicious fish and meat!"
Qin Yuanyao knew that if Grandma Sun didn't express her gratitude properly, Grandma Sun wouldn't be able to get over that hurdle in her heart.
Qin Yuanyao then agreed.
Chi Nao was also very happy: "Grandma Sun, does that mean I can play with Huahua again later?"
"Of course! Huahua loves having other children play with her."
Seeing their happy scene, Xu Miaotong suddenly felt that her perfect score and the first choice of dinner ingredients didn't taste so good anymore.
Even if she could pick the best ingredients for dinner, what good would it do?
She doesn't know how to cook; all she knows how to do is boil.
If Aunt Wang, who teaches them to make Chinese knots, could also treat them to a meal, that would be wonderful.
Aunt Wang likes Hao Hao so much, doesn't she want to invite him to dinner?
Xu Miaotong looked at Aunt Wang longingly.
Aunt Wang started talking to Grandma Sun: "Grandma Sun, are you preparing a big meal? Can I come and freeload?"
Grandma Sun seems to have a good relationship with Aunt Wang.
She gave the other person a reproachful look: "You're the best at saving trouble."
Then he agreed: "Come on, we won't miss you."
"Okay!" Aunt Wang smiled broadly, completely forgetting about Gao Hao and Xu Miaotong.
[Is Xu Miaotong also trying to freeload a meal? I noticed she kept staring at Aunt Wang.]
If she wanted to freeload a meal, she should have been looking at Grandma Sun, but she kept looking at Aunt Wang. I feel like she's more likely trying to get Aunt Wang to treat her family to a meal.
[The person upstairs might be right. No one in Xu Miaotong's family can cook. Even if she's the first to pick out the ingredients and chooses the best ones, she still can't cook it. She'd be better off being invited to dinner or eating out of the house.]
[Does Xu Miaotong think that since Aunt Wang likes Hao Hao so much, she might invite Hao Hao's family to dinner, just like Grandma Sun did?]
[Xu Miaotong is too naive. Grandma Sun invited Qin Yuanyao because Qin Yuanyao saved her granddaughter's life. Aunt Wang's fondness for Haohao is like a teacher's fondness for a top student; what teacher would specifically invite a top student to dinner?]
Xu Miaotong isn't naive, she's just too self-righteous.
Why are you all launching these baseless personal attacks against my sister Tong? She only glanced at Aunt Wang a few times, and you've already made up all this? With such vivid imaginations, why don't you go write novels?
[What's wrong with us making up our own ideas? It's none of your business. What's wrong with what we've imagined? Does anyone in Xu Miaotong's family know how to cook? Even with the best ingredients, could they cook something? Doesn't Aunt Wang like Hao Hao?]
[You're allowed to constantly criticize Qin Yuanyao for being pretentious and two-faced, but we're not allowed to say Xu Miaotong is self-righteous?]
...
That night, after everyone had gone to bed, the guests heard the deafening arguing again.
Xu Miaotong and Gao Li started arguing again.
The reason was that Xu Miaotong and her group were the first to take the ingredients, taking away both the fish and the meat.
However, because Xu Miaotong couldn't cook, the fish served on the table didn't even have its gallbladder removed, and the meat was raw.
Gao Li then said, "It seems we don't need to compete for first place anymore; even if we did, we wouldn't succeed."
Xu Miaotong was very angry at the time.
But since she was still live-streaming, she couldn't show it, so she just smiled and agreed, "Yes, we need to brush up on our cooking skills."
At the time, the comments section was filled with "hahahahaha," people were charmed by the interaction between Xu Miaotong and Gao Li.
But that evening, after the live stream ended, Xu Miaotong started arguing with Gao Li.
