Qian Duoduo finally faced her final exams. She calmly went out and calmly returned; everything seemed normal.
But the next day, the Qian family welcomed a group of teenagers and young girls. What were they there for? Of course, they were there to check their answers.
Those students who gave the same answer as Qian Duoduo were overjoyed, while others were devastated.
Qian Rao whispered in Jin Jinxiu's ear, "Mother, your daughter is practically the standard answer now. Look at those students, their faces have turned pale!"
Jin Jinxiu poked Qian Rao with a broom handle: "Isn't it natural that my daughter is so good at studying? Do you think everyone is like you, not good at studying and losing money at cards?"
Qian Rao, remembering the time he got beaten up, looked at Qian Duoduo, who was surrounded in the middle, with a pitiful expression. Little sister, I'm your own brother! You're really not shy about selling yourself!
Tao Meili looked at her dictated answers, most of which matched Qian Duoduo's. She walked over, pushed past a girl, and looked at Qian Duoduo, saying, "Qian Duoduo, these are my dictated answers. I just compared them with yours, and most of them match. Do you think my grades are good enough to get into the top fifty?"
Qian Duoduo took her answer sheet, looked at it, and saw that it had checkmarks and crosses. She asked, "You're so good, you can even recite the math from memory?"
Tao Meili shook her head: "No, I've written down everything I can think of."
Qian Duoduo said, "Your answers to these questions are probably incomplete. It will be difficult for you to get into the top fifty."
Tao Meili said "Oh" and stepped aside.
Qian Duoduo only glanced at her once and then paid no more attention. This Tao Meili used to be a bully at school because of her uncle's position in the Revolutionary Committee, but since the incident a while ago, she has become much more restrained. Now it is even more obvious that she wants to resolve the conflict with her and make friends again, and that is exactly what she is doing.
However, not everything can be forgiven, and Qian Duoduo didn't want to have too much contact with her.
When the results were announced, Qian Duoduo once again became the top student at Shangzhi No. 1 Middle School. Qian Duoduo returned home with a large certificate and was praised by Qian Sheng. He pasted Qian Duoduo's certificate on one wall of his bedroom. There was nothing else on this wall except for certificates. There were certificates from Qian Feng, Qian Yu, and Qian Mao, but most of them were from Qian Duoduo. There were no certificates from Qian Rao.
Every time Qian Sheng saw this, he couldn't help but sigh. This fourth brother was really lagging far behind his brothers and sisters, but this silly boy could still be cheerful all day long. He was quite carefree.
What surprised him even more was that this fourth brother, whom he thought was a bit silly, had actually started dating someone before his third brother, and she was from the next county. When he heard his fourth brother mention this, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.
He leaned forward and looked at Qian Rao seriously: "Fourth brother, what did you say?"
Qian Rao said somewhat embarrassedly, "Well, I've found someone myself, she's from the next county."
Qian Sheng sat up straight and asked, "How did you two meet?"
Qian Rao said with a grin, "Her aunt lives near the No. 1 Middle School in our county. I often go to the county to see my sister, so I run into her a few times. Once, she bought some things and couldn't carry them back, so I helped her carry them back, and that's how we met."
Qian Sheng asked, "How many people are in her family? Does her family know you're dating?"
Qian Rao scratched his head: "You probably don't know this, right?"
The uncertain tone made Qian Sheng want to punch someone: "Their family doesn't know, how can you say you're dating? Besides, marriage is a matter between the two families."
Qian Rao said, "Yu Gui's stepmother is in charge of the household, and she only came to her aunt's house because she had no other choice. That's why I said her family probably doesn't know!"
Jin Jinxiu frowned upon hearing this: "What? Her stepmother is her stepmother? Where is her biological mother?"
Qian Rao said, "I heard from Yu Gui that her biological mother passed away when she was 10 years old. It seems she died from an illness. She also has a younger brother who is currently studying at No. 1 Middle School. She came here to take care of her brother."
Upon hearing this, Jin Jinxiu exclaimed, "This family is far too complicated."
Qian Duoduo asked, "Fourth Brother, what's your girlfriend's younger brother's name?"
Qian Rao said, "My girlfriend's name is Wen Yugui, and her younger brother's name is Wen Yuzhu."
Qian Duoduo's mind immediately started racing. He seemed to have heard of this Wen Yuzhu before. He should be a year younger than him. He was rather quiet and easy to overlook, but his grades seemed to be pretty good. He should be ranked in the top 20 of the grade.
Jin Jinxiu said, "What? Her father isn't going to support them?"
Qian Rao: "She didn't say that."
Qian Sheng said, "We need to look into your boyfriend's situation. You better behave yourself. If you cause me any trouble, I'll break your legs."
Seeing Qian Sheng's expression, Qian Rao immediately nodded and said, "Dad, look, don't you know your son? I'm the most obedient."
This remark earned him a big eye roll from Qian Sheng. If he were obedient, pigs would fly; if he were obedient, he wouldn't have found a girlfriend without even knowing it himself.
Jin Jinxiu nodded and said, "We do need to find out. These two families are related by marriage, not enemies. We also need to investigate this girl's character carefully."
Qian Rao asked, puzzled, "What else does Yu Gui want to know?"
Qian Mao said, "If you don't understand, don't ask. Just stay quiet and work in the fields for the next couple of days. I'll go and find out about your girlfriend's family situation. Besides, like you said, her family doesn't know about you two. We should at least know what they think, right?"
When Qian Rao saw Qian Mao speaking, he nodded. He should listen to his third brother. After all, his third brother was a smiling tiger who was always the one doing big things behind the scenes.
Qian Sheng said, "Okay, third brother, you know a lot of people in the county, see if you can find someone to help you ask."
Qian Mao beckoned to Qian Rao and said, "Come with me and tell me about your boyfriend so I can ask around."
Qian Rao gave an "oh" and obediently followed behind his third brother as the two returned to their room.
Qian Duoduo also returned to her room, leaving Qian Sheng and Jin Jinxiu, a married couple, to look at each other and sigh at the same time.
Qian Sheng said, "You know, our family has five children. The eldest, the second, the third, and Duoduo are all very clever. How come we only have such a simpleton as the fourth one?"
Jin Jinxiu said, "I think it's up to you, but the eldest brother and the others will follow my lead."
Qian Sheng glanced at Jin Jinxiu and muttered to himself: "Shouldn't you have a clear understanding of yourself? You think you're so clever? If you're so clever, then there's no one clever in the world. And you say the fourth brother is like me? I think the fourth brother is the most like you!"
Jin Jinxiu had no idea that Qian Sheng was secretly criticizing her. She said with a smile, "I didn't expect that the fourth brother, that silly boy, could find a girlfriend on his own. I always thought that the third brother, who works in the county, would have an easier time finding a girlfriend. But the third brother is so busy every day, I guess he doesn't have time to date."
Qian Sheng glanced at Jin Jinxiu. This was his own wife, his own wife!
What are you thinking about all day long?
