After strolling around for a while and waiting until almost everyone had arrived, Chen Xin and the other three finally arrived, holding gifts prepared for Xia Jin.
The three of them didn't buy a gift together, but each of them prepared a gift for her. After all, the four of them had the best time this year.
Chen Xin's father also came along and prepared a gift for Xia Jin, a fountain pen. Xia Jin opened it and took a look; it was quite valuable.
After receiving the gifts, Xia Jin asked Gu Jingmo to lead them to where they were going to sit.
Then the principal and teachers also arrived late. Maybe it was because Xia Jin's test scores were too good, which made them proud, so they were very happy to see Xia Jin.
Especially the principal, who smiled as if he didn't want any money. They even had to prepare a gift for him, but they had to pool their money to buy it.
It was a little more expensive than the others, it was a watch. When Xia Jin saw it at first, he didn't want to say anything, because for this watch, several of them had paid at least half a month's salary.
Just as she was about to refuse, the principal took it and stuffed it into her arms. Then the principal smiled and said:
"Xia Jin, keep it. This is a gift from your teacher. You did so well in the exam that the school gave them a bonus, so you don't have to worry about it being too expensive and burdening the teacher."
"They still have a lot of their bonus left after buying this gift for you. This is also our graduation gift to you. If you don't accept it, you will look down on us."
"You did so well in the exam, and they were all the ones the county magistrate called over to be praised, so don't refuse. If you feel unworthy of it, then work hard in college and strive to bring honor to your alma mater."
"Ten years from now, we can proudly say that you are our student, and let others envy us for having a student like you."
After hearing what the principal said, Xia Jin took the watch box in his hand and said:
"Principal, I'm not that great, but I will do my best so that you can proudly say that you are my teacher. I will never embarrass you."
"And the bonuses are all what you deserve. All the teachers in the past three years have taught me a lot. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't be where I am now."
"I'm very grateful to all the teachers for their guidance, especially our homeroom teacher. I've taken too many days off this year and it's caused him so much trouble."
Teacher Guo Jian smiled and said, "You know, you took so many days off, I was afraid you wouldn't do well on the exams, but in the end, it didn't seem to have any impact."
"But I hope you won't be so arrogant and keep working hard. I hope that the next time I hear from you, it will be news that you've succeeded."
"When I'm old, I can be proud and tell my grandchildren that this person on TV is my student."
"Okay, teacher, stop flattering me. Don't you know how much I weigh? But I promise you, I will work hard."
"I'll try to make everything you say come true, but don't blame me if I can't make it happen."
"Okay, okay, okay. I absolutely won't blame you. Just remember your original intention and don't let your previous efforts go to waste. Study hard and contribute to the country."
"Okay, I'll make sure to complete the task. Teacher, please go in quickly. My grandfather and the others are here. Let them chat with you."
"They also want to thank you very much. After all, if it weren't for your hard work and teaching, I wouldn't be where I am now."
After saying that, she led them to sit at Grandpa Xia's table. Because there were too many people, there was not enough space at the table at first, so Aunt Xia took the initiative to make room for them.
Xia Jin originally wanted to add a bench so that these people could squeeze in, but Aunt Xia saw that and quickly said to Xia Jin:
"Xiao Jin, you don't have to ask me to go to your classmates' table. I don't know any of your teachers, and I can't get a word in. It's awkward for me to be here alone."
"If you want to entertain them, it's enough for grandpa and the others. I'm dispensable at this table. I'm quite reserved. I'd better join you."
"They are all intellectuals, and I don't have much to talk about. Even if I put another chair in there, it would still be quite crowded."
After hearing what he said, Xia Jin thought about it, nodded and said:
"Okay, this way we'll feel more comfortable. Otherwise, it would be hard to interrupt them while they're drinking and chatting at that table."
"Would you like to sit with me, or sit over there with my shop assistant? If you sit with me, you'll have to sit with my classmates, which might be a bit noisy."
Aunt Xia pointed to Aunt Cuihong and said, "I'll sit with them. I see there are quite a few people around my age at that table. We should have something in common."
"You and your classmates finally get together, so I won't bother you. Have fun. You won't have such opportunities after you go to college."
Xia Jin heard her say this, but did not stop her. Ri Ri brought her to Aunt Cui Hong's table, arranged everything for her, and asked Aunt Cui Hong to take good care of her when she left.
They were all about the same age and had a lot to talk about. When Xia Jin looked back halfway through her walk, they had already started chatting.
As expected, the parents came. Seeing him coming, Xia Jin arranged him to sit at the table with Grandpa Xia and his family, fortunately there was still room for one more seat.
Fortunately, Aunt Xia had left the table long ago, otherwise it would have been really difficult to deal with.
After everyone arrived and seeing that it was almost time, Xia Jin asked the kitchen to serve the dishes. They had been waiting there for a long time, and with just one order, they started serving the dishes one after another.
The first thing to be served is definitely the cold dishes, both meat and vegetarian, but most of them are cold dishes. After the cold dishes, various stews will be served.
The portions in this restaurant are quite generous, and the meat is served in large plates, some of which are as big as Xia Jin's faces, so there is no need to worry about not having enough to eat.
Because today was his graduation banquet, she, as the main character, had to apologize to his teacher, so halfway through she wandered over to the table where Grandpa Xia and the others were sitting.
After chatting with the principal and teachers for a while, I returned to my seat and started chatting with my classmates.
"Xiao Jin, are you going back to your hometown? If so, you won't be able to come to my graduation party."
Xia Jin looked at him and said a little aggrievedly, "I don't want to either, but my sister is getting married soon, so I have to go back early to prepare."
