Chapter 276 Gift Giving
Tunan called back and told his family the time to buy tickets and go home.
After Xiaoting received Tunan's call, she couldn't help but whisper in Huailan's ear after holding it in all night.
"Aunt, my brother knows a girl from Suzhou who is studying Economics and Management."
Three minutes later, the whole family knew.
"What's going on? Tell me." Huang Ling pricked up her curious ears.
Xiao Ting answered honestly:
"My brother told me in great detail what subjects the Department of Economics and Management studies. I casually asked who told him that, and he said he knew a fellow from Suzhou who was studying in the Department of Economics and Management."
"Well, just from this one sentence, Xiaoting, you know that Tuanan is talking about a girl," Huailan asked.
"Maybe the tone is different." Huang Ling looked at Xiaoting inquiringly.
Xiaoting nodded.
"There should be a pause and hesitation after speaking." Zhou Huaiyi added.
Xiaoting nodded again.
"There's another explanation at the end," Huang Xiuyuan added.
Xiaoting nodded twice.
"It's such a waste of talent if Xiaoting doesn't become a scout." Zhou Huaiyi looked regretful.
"Okay, okay, I'm just stupid." Zhou Huailan shook her head helplessly.
She knew that she was smart, but everyone in her family was extremely smart, so she seemed a little bit stupid.
"Suzhou girl...I will pick him up when Tuanan comes back." Huang Ling patted Zhou Huaiyi's hand.
"You go, but I think it's better for everyone to pretend not to know. What if they are just ordinary good friends, right?" Zhou Huaiyi suggested.
"Yeah, yeah." Everyone nodded.
Zhou Huaiyi glanced at everyone in the room, and he couldn't let go at all.
If they continue to discuss, the people who are going to pick up Tuanan will not be able to fit into a small truck.
Finally, everyone decided that Huang Ling would take Xiao Ting to pick them up.
It was ten o'clock in the morning when I arrived. Zhuang Chaoying had a tutoring class and didn't have time to pick him up, which was just right.

Xiaoting was a little nervous when she went to pick up her report card.
She remembered that she had promised Dongzhe that if he ranked in the top ten, he would get a ten-dollar bonus, and if he ranked in the top five, he would get an additional five-dollar bonus, so she brought fifteen dollars today.
However, Dongzhe has already announced that he has drawn a clear line between them, so he probably won't ask her for the money.
Transcript received:
Xiaoting was first, Chen Shurui was third, and Dongzhe was seventh.
Dongzhe's back teeth were about to break.
The only thing worth being happy about is that he ranked among the top 30 in his grade. If he ranks among the top 30 in the midterm of the next semester, he will be able to get a place in the high school department directly.
I got the notice and was dismissed from school in the morning.
As usual, the two of them went to the garment factory together to find Huang Ling to report their results.
The two of them left the school one after the other.
Dongzhe rides a bicycle to school, so he rode to the turning to wait for Xiaoting.
Pengfei was also waiting there. His grades were still in the middle range with little change. It was impossible for him to be promoted directly. He had to compete with many people for a place in No. 1 Middle School.
"Dongzhe, you are amazing. You have already ranked among the top in just one summer vacation and one semester!" Pengfei exclaimed.
"Just a little bit more." Dongzhe gritted his teeth.
"Okay, okay, I told you you're fat and you're still panting."
Xiaoting walked over slowly.
Pengfei first showed his transcript to Xiaoting:
"Xiaoting, please help me report! I'm a little afraid to go see Aunt Huang. Dongzhe has made such great progress, while I'm standing still."
"Brother, this is really dangerous!" Xiaoting frowned and looked at the report card carefully.
"Oh, my brain." Pengfei also sighed.
Xiaoting returned the report card to him.
"No need to copy it down," Pengfei asked.
"Oh, it's just these few numbers, why does she need to copy them?" Dongzhe answered for Xiaoting.
"Okay! Xiaoting is still the best." Pengfei put away the report card and turned around and ran away.
Xiaoting continued walking forward, and Dongzhe followed a few steps behind her, pushing his bicycle. When there were no classmates on the road, Dongzhe took two quick steps to pass Xiaoting, got on the bicycle, and rode to the garment factory after Xiaoting sat firmly.
Dongzhe stopped a few dozen meters away from the garment factory.
Xiao Ting jumped out of the car, looked at him with a puzzled look, then looked down at the car: "The car is broken down"
Dongzhe shook his head, parked the car, then reached into his bag, hesitated, went in and out several times, and finally took out the pencil case from the bag.
"I'm sorry, I don't mean to draw a line between us. I just want to see if I can do it."
After saying that, he stuffed the pencil case into Xiaoting's hand, then got on his bike and ran away.
Xiaoting watched him ride his bicycle quickly into the garment factory gate, then she looked down at the box in her hand.
She opened the box and inside was a powder blue pen, her favorite color.
She knew it wasn't a Hero pen that cost $1.60.
Suddenly, a scene emerged in her mind.
On a country road on a rainy day, Dongzhe fell down in a ditch beside a field while riding his bicycle. He ignored the pain in his leg and looked at the basket of eggs behind him. Fortunately, the basket had been grabbed by Pengfei who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, thus reducing the loss.
Xiaoting stood for a while, closed the pencil case, put it in her schoolbag, and then walked towards the garment factory.
Huang Ling saw Dongzhe alone and asked, "Where is Xiaoting?"
Dongzhe then remembered that he had thrown Xiaoting on the road.
"She...she said...she'll take two steps. I'll go pick her up!"
He turned and ran, but while he was speaking, he saw Xiaoting had already entered the factory gate.
"Auntie, Xiaoting is in the yard." Dongzhe turned and told Huang Ling.
Huang Ling then asked: "Oh, what place did you get in the exam?"
"seventh."
When Huang Ling heard this, she sat up straight and asked, "Are you in the top 30 in your grade?"
Dongzhe grinned and nodded.
"Oh! It's settled! I told you our Dongzhe would definitely be able to do it! How could he be so average with his IQ!" Huang Ling grabbed Dongzhe and started to jerk him. "Hurry, call your mom."
"good!"
When Dongzhe called Song Ying's office, Xiaoting entered Huang Ling's office.
As soon as I came in, I heard Dongzhe take the microphone away from his ear, and Song Ying's magical laughter came from the microphone.
"Hahahahahaha! Director Lan, my Dongzhe ranked seventh in the class and in the top 30 in the grade! He can go straight to promotion! He can go straight to promotion! Hahahahahahaha!"
Then, Song Ying hung up the phone.
The three people in the room looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
Song Ying rushed over as soon as she got off work, her mouth grinning from ear to ear.
Zhou Huaiyi and Mr. Lin were both busy today, so they had dinner at the garment factory and had to work the night shift in the evening.
Song Ying still grinned while eating.
Huang Ling asked her: "Do your cheeks feel sore?"
"Not sour, hahahahahaha!"
"Can you chew the ribs?" Huang Ling asked again.
"I can bite it, hahahahahaha!"
The others at the table laughed so hard their stomachs hurt.
After Song Ying finished her meal and calmed down, she remembered that Huailan was not there.
"Xiuyuan's house has been divided, and the two of them went to change the locks today." Huang Ling told her.
