Before the villagers standing at the door could even begin to discuss it, voices came from inside. "Xingran, our town commune is also giving you a reward. A bonus of two hundred yuan, two towels, and a piece of cloth."
Deng Jianjun and Zhang Hengyuan also presented the reward to Su Xingran. "Uncle Deng and Uncle Zhang congratulate you on your continued success and thank you for bringing honor to Stone Town."
"Thank you, Uncle Deng, thank you, Uncle Zhang. It is my honor to bring glory to our town." Su Xingran also bowed to Deng Jianjun and Zhang Hengyuan.
"Xingran, call your parents over, as well as your village chief and brigade leader. Let's take a picture with the leaders." Deng Jianjun reminded Su Xingran to take a group photo.
Mr. and Mrs. Su were still immersed in joy and couldn't hear what anyone else was saying. They just kept smiling and nodding.
Su Xingran went over and called her parents over to take a picture. She also called the village chief and the brigade leader, who were standing at the door without interrupting their conversation, to come and take a picture together. A photo full of honor and joy was captured. After the photo was taken, the governor and the mayor were in a hurry to go back, so they left first.
Su Xingran also accepted an interview with reporters. "Su Xingran, what are your thoughts on becoming the top liberal arts student? Do you have any study tips?"
The reporter, with a notebook and pen, asked Su Xingran questions. Su Xingran would write down her answers.
"I'm very happy and also surprised to have won the top score in the liberal arts exam. Based on my usual grades, I knew I would get into university. But I never expected to be the top scorer. Maybe hard work pays off!"
"As for study tips, I don't have any. I just read more books, more materials, do more exercises, listen attentively in class, and review carefully when I have time. Everything depends on my own efforts and perseverance."
"Does Su Xingran have anything to say to the students? After all, you will be a role model for them."
"Opportunity favors the prepared mind; to succeed, you must work hard. Set a goal, persevere, and strive for it."
"Su Xingran's words are quite inspiring. Thank you, Su Xingran, for accepting my interview. May I take a solo photo of Su Xingran as the cover photo for this interview article?"
Su Xingran agreed to take a solo photo for the reporter. Wearing a white sweater, a red cotton coat, black trousers, and a high ponytail, Su Xingran stood under a big tree and posed for a solo photo.
After those people left, the village chief and the brigade leader approached Su Xingran's family, their faces filled with excitement. "Xingran, Uncle Village Chief and Uncle Brigade Leader congratulate you and thank you. Just now, Secretary Deng from the commune told us that because you have brought honor to Jilin Province, the city, and the town, the electrification plan was given priority to our village."
"Once this plan is implemented and construction begins, our village will have electricity. We won't have to walk in the dark at night anymore, and we won't need to use kerosene lamps."
"Our brigade and village also gave you a reward, though it wasn't much. Your Su family has truly produced a literary genius," the village chief said with a sigh.
After everyone had left, Doctor Huang and Duan Yuming appeared at the Su family's house. "Xingran, you're amazing! Your master was so happy when he found out you got the top score in the liberal arts exam that he didn't know how to describe it."
"Xingran, Uncle Duan congratulates you on getting the top score in the college entrance examination. Your hard work has finally paid off." Duan Yuming and the others knew that Su Xingran worked very hard in everything she did.
"Master, Uncle Duan, where did you go? We wanted to take a picture with you, but the leaders were here and we couldn't leave," Su Xingran complained, unable to take a picture with her master and the others.
