Jiang Xiaoli looked dejected. "I really didn't expect the math preliminary round questions to be so easy! I'm definitely not going to let Xu Xing do the chores for the rest of the semester."
Xu Xing glanced at her. "Teacher Chen, um... if nothing unexpected happens, we should both get full marks in the preliminary math competition."
The two teachers were stunned for two seconds. Chen Zhe was the first to react, and he clapped his hands happily.
He looked at Teacher Liu and said, "Okay, okay! Hahaha, Xiao Liu! I told you you were overthinking it! Look at you, young man, you just can't keep your composure!"
Teacher Liu's Adam's apple bobbed, and it took her a while to say, "You two kids, don't you know that looking so dejected affects our judgment?"
Chen Zhe chimed in, "Exactly! This morning, I thought you two had gotten nervous about your exams and something went wrong!"
Jiang Xiaoli chuckled and waved her hand, "No, that's not true. Teacher Chen, you can start thinking about how to spend this bonus."
"Hahaha." Teacher Liu patted her head. "Alright, alright, as long as you two do well on the exam, we'll be relieved."
Back in the classroom, Xie Yitao saw his deskmate smiling.
He asked, puzzled, "Jiang Xiaoli, did you do well or poorly on the test?"
Jiang Xiaoli frowned and said sternly, "Ask me again."
Xie Yitao felt a little guilty, but he was stubborn and continued to ask, "How did you do on the test?"
Jiang Xiaoli pouted, "Xiao Xie, I'm very disappointed in you!"
Xie Yitao panicked, "Huh? What? What happened to me?"
She raised an eyebrow. "We've been deskmates for so long, and you're still questioning my abilities? What about classmate affection?"
Hahahaha!
The classmates who had been listening to their conversation burst out laughing.
Li Cheng laughed so hard he quacked, "Hahaha, Xie Yitao, I knew she was playing a prank!"
Xie Yitao scratched the back of his head and explained earnestly, "I wasn't questioning you, I just noticed you weren't in a good mood earlier and I was concerned about you!"
Jiang Xiaoli sighed, "Yeah, Xu Xing and I will probably both get full marks again this time. We agreed that whoever loses will sweep the floor for the other."
Everyone was speechless. Hou Rui, still incredulous, asked again, "So you were looking so down this morning because you had to do chores?"
She nodded. "Yeah, what a great opportunity to slack off! Sigh!"
It was as if the space around her had been vacuumed for a few seconds, and no one knew how to react.
Finally, Xie Yitao, the stubborn one, concluded, "Full marks, so you'll definitely make it to the second round. Congratulations!"
Other classmates also offered their congratulations, saying things like, "Congratulations!" and "Wishing Jiang Shen all the best in the finals!"
Jiang Xiaoli smiled and nodded, "Thanks! I'll treat everyone to chicken feet tomorrow!"
More than ten days later, the branch factory finally shipped out all the outstanding goods. Although the workshop was still working three shifts and was extremely busy, at least there was no shortage of goods.
Cheers erupted in the classroom, "That's awesome!"
In the past month, the most popular snacks among young people across the country have been pork jerky and boneless chicken feet, even spicy strips can only match them.
When they got home that evening, Li Guizhi and Xu Feng made a high-profile announcement.
"Our first term of night school has come to an end!"
Jiang Xiaoli was very curious, "The first episode, so will there be a second or third episode?"
Li Guizhi explained to her daughter, "Your aunt and I enrolled in a class that teaches professional courses. No academic qualifications are required. Once you pass the exam, it's over. If you want to learn more in-depth, you can continue to the second or third term."
"So, are you going to continue?"
Xu Feng laughed and said, "Go on, my English is still only half-baked!"
Li Guizhi nodded, "We've both signed up again, but Xiaoli, I want to work in finance while studying. I feel that combining theory with practice will help me improve faster."
Jiang Xiaoli thought for a moment, "Okay, but what about your driving lessons?"
Xu Feng and Li Guizhi exchanged a glance. "This is the second piece of good news we're announcing today: we both got our driver's licenses at the same time!"
Xiao Muyu exclaimed in surprise, "Mom, Auntie, you two are amazing!"
Xiao Jincheng laughed and said, "Our car will finally stop gathering dust!"
Jiang Xiaoli was even more extravagant, "Mom, have you seen any car models you like? Let's buy them!"
Li Guizhi hugged her daughter and said, "I really haven't thought about it yet. Let me think about it some more."
In a flash, Jiang Xiaoli and Xiao Jincheng exchanged a glance, and they both understood each other's meaning.
The next morning, Jiang Xiaoli and Xiao Muyu formed a large group to go to school.
She promised to treat her classmates to snacks, bringing four boxes of each kind. Two mothers who had just gotten their driver's licenses were eager to try.
Xiao Jincheng was very concerned about their driving skills.
So this morning, the two mothers sat in the front row and the two children sat in the back row.
A bodyguard was driving behind the car to "escort" it.
As Xu Feng drove out of the residential area, Jiang Xiaoli gripped the front seat tightly with her right hand, watching her every move closely.
Watching her movements, Xiao Muyu couldn't help but tense up, gripping the handle by the back window tightly.
Seeing their actions, Li Guizhi said unhappily, "Are you really that doubtful of our driving skills?"
Xu Feng heard her words and turned to look at the two of them.
Jiang Xiaoli immediately reminded her nervously, "Auntie, look in the rearview mirror."
Xu Feng's actions made her seriously doubt the teaching quality of this driving school.
She really wanted to ride in Xiao Jincheng's car; she was very careful about her life these days!
Fortunately, there weren't many cars on the road, and the group arrived at school safely.
Jiang Xiaoli rushed to Xiao Jincheng's side immediately and recounted to him Xu Feng's many dangerous actions.
Xiao Jincheng didn't pay much attention at first, but the more he listened, the more alarmed he became.
Finally, he offered directly, "I'll drive you both home."
The two mothers watched as the "culprit" and the boy they met carried their belongings into the school gate.
Finally, reluctantly, he got into Xiao Jincheng's car.
On the way, Xiao Muyu asked, "Xiao Li, is my mom's driving really that problematic?"
“Driving is no small matter. Many times, it’s small problems that lead to big accidents. Have you forgotten that among all modes of transportation, cars have the highest accident rate?” she replied seriously.
Xiao Muyu nodded. "Then what should we do?"
Jiang Xiaoli frowned. "I think my mom and aunt should be tested by people we trust. The driving school instructors and the driving school's assessments don't seem very reliable!"
She was absolutely right; the two mothers each spent more than twice as much on driving lessons as Zong Jia.
This included a "guaranteed pass fee" for the exam, but the two of them were unaware of it.
I really don't know whether to call this driving school "honest" or a rip-off.
Upon arriving in the classroom, Jiang Xiaoli opened the snack box, and everyone in the class received a snack.
Snacks costing more than ten yuan a serving are not something every high school student can afford. When everyone received their snacks, the classroom was filled with joy and laughter.
They're really lucky to have a classmate who's academically excellent, doesn't compete with them for rankings, and is generous.
Jiang Xiaoli is the most popular person in her class today, without a doubt!
