But just as they were about to lift their feet, an old lady suddenly ran up to Ruan Jiaojiao and Song Qingfeng and said to them excitedly, "Jiaojiao, do you know the results?"
Seeing this, Ruan Jiaojiao shook her head, but looking at their expressions, she had some vague guesses in her heart.
When the old lady saw that Ruan Jiaojiao and Song Qingfeng knew nothing about this matter, she excitedly said to them, "Jiaojiao, I knew you had great potential. I didn't expect you to get such good grades."
After hearing what this lady said, Ruan Jiaojiao, who had originally had no interest, actually became somewhat interested.
She asked the old lady flatteringly, "How did we do on the exam?"
The old lady said proudly, "You and Song Qingfeng both got first and third place in the province respectively."
Hearing that someone was first, the competitive Ruan Jiaojiao asked the old lady anxiously, "Who is first?"
The old lady replied enthusiastically, "Your Song Qingfeng is quite a hidden talent. He usually seems to be indifferent to everything, but now he has quietly taken the first place in the province."
The old lady didn’t know how amazing it was to be the first in the province. She just thought that being the first in the province should be like the top scholar in ancient times.
So she felt proud when she thought that the first place in the province appeared in her own village. Wouldn't it be so impressive when she returned to her parents' home to visit relatives?
Therefore, when I said these words, I was very happy, but Ruan Jiaojiao was a little unhappy when she heard these words.
She punched Song Qingfeng and asked him, "Did you usually hide your strength in front of me? That's why you did so well in the exam now."
When Song Qingfeng heard his daughter Jiaojiao ask this, he touched his head a little embarrassedly, and then said to Ruan Jiaojiao: "Actually, I was lucky this time. I didn't know I would get such a high score."
Hearing Song Qingfeng's "modest" answer, Ruan Jiaojiao felt inexplicably discouraged.
In fact, I was lucky in this exam, but I didn't have the enviable luck of Song Qingfeng.
Just thinking about it makes me feel that God favors Song Qingfeng too much. You know, although Song Qingfeng's grades are pretty good, they are still a little worse than mine. I didn't expect that I would be surpassed by him in the college entrance examination.
But Ruan Jiaojiao was still quite convinced. After all, luck is also part of strength. It’s just that Song Qingfeng’s luck is really a bit enviable.
However, Ruan Jiaojiao was still a little curious about who the second-ranked person in the province was and how he could surpass her even though she had been reviewing for so long.
The reason why I was able to get the third place in the province is not only because I reviewed for so long, but also because I came from the modern era. I went through the tactics of solving a large number of questions in the third year of high school and summarized various tutoring materials, which led to this result.
The reason why Song Qingfeng got the first place can be attributed to the fact that he usually helped him review and had explained many question types to him.
So Ruan Jiaojiao sighed, no matter what era it is, there is no shortage of people in this world who are smarter, more diligent and more hardworking than you.
There are mountains beyond mountains and people beyond people.
The aunt also said to Ruan Jiaojiao, "You should go home quickly. It seems that the village chief went to pick someone up just now. I guess he will come to your house soon."
Thinking that Song Qingfeng and I had done so well in the exam, the county should send someone down, and we should also get a small bonus or something.
Thinking of this, Ruan Jiaojiao said goodbye to the aunt, then took Song Qingfeng and walked quickly towards her home.
After all, no one wants too much honor and money.
Not long after Ruan Jiaojiao and Song Qingfeng returned home, there was a knock on their door.
The village chief's loud voice came from outside the door. He shouted, "Qingfeng, Jiaojiao, there's good news. Open the door!"
It was not difficult to hear the excitement in the village chief's tone, so Song Qingfeng immediately opened the door.
Then, what was beyond Ruan Jiaojiao's imagination was that there seemed to be not only leaders but also media outside the door.
There were circles of villagers surrounding her house. Although Ruan Jiaojiao was a worldly-wise person, she couldn't help but feel a little excited.
She suppressed her inner excitement, then pretended to be reserved and calm and asked: "Village Chief, what happened?"
The village chief said happily to her and Song Qingfeng, "I won't say more about this. Let's hear what our county chief has to say."
A square-faced uncle with thick eyebrows and big eyes looked at Ruan Jiaojiao and Song Qingfeng, cleared his throat, and said, "Hello, Comrade Song and Comrade Ruan, you and your wife got first and third place in the province respectively this time. We are here to visit you on behalf of our county."
After he finished speaking, the county magistrate had someone bring out the reward, which was one hundred yuan, two enamel cups with the great man's portrait printed on them, and two towels.
Ruan Jiaojiao also warmly entertained this group of leaders, and talked about how hard she and Song Qingfeng studied, how they got up early in the morning to study, and then read late into the night with lamps.
When Song Qingfeng heard what his wife said, he cooperated with Ruan Jiaojiao to make up a story.
In the end, I don’t know whether the leaders believed it, but Ruan Jiaojiao and Song Qingfeng believed what they said and were deeply moved.
When the leader left, he said to Ruan Jiaojiao and Song Qingfeng, "You two hardworking and motivated young comrades, I hope you will maintain this hardworking attitude in the future. I look forward to you making contributions to our country in the future."
Ruan Jiaojiao and Song Qingfeng accepted the county magistrate's expectations without any psychological burden, even though they were both relatively indifferent.
But who says salted fish can't have dreams? Is it worthless?
Be in your position and do your job.
Salted fish also has its own value.
Seeing that it was almost dinner time, Ruan Jiaojiao wanted to invite them to her home for a meal, but the county magistrate and his men refused, saying that they could not take a single needle or thread from the people.
After seeing the leaders off, the village chief smiled, patted Song Qingfeng on the shoulder, and said to Ruan Jiaojiao and Song Qingfeng, "I was right about you. You are the hope of our village."
You can see how happy the village chief is. His smile has never faded since he entered their home.
After sending the village chief away, Ruan Jiaojiao finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she leaned on Song Qingfeng's shoulder and said to him, "Qingfeng, we finally sent them away. I was so tired."
Song Qingfeng glanced at Ruan Jiaojiao who was leaning on his shoulder and said to her, "I didn't see that, but I thought you were quite happy."
