Chapter 73 Double Happiness Arrives
Even if she had the money to go to a bookstore, she might not be able to find a book that suits her so well.
When Qiao Nan returned home, Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi were already there. Qiao Nan put down his schoolbag and looked at Ding Jiayi's excited face. Her eyes were brighter than fluorescent lights. Did she pick up money on the way?
"Zijin is such a great student. A prestigious school is a prestigious school, and this affiliated middle school is really great. I think that letting Zijin study at the affiliated middle school is the best thing I have ever done in my life."
"Yes, did you ask someone to bring the money to Zijin?" Qiao Dongliang also smiled with a proud expression: "Zijin is not at home, you should prepare some good dishes today, and we will celebrate."
Qiao Dongliang is really happy that his eldest daughter is so successful.
"Okay!" Ding Jiayi agreed without hesitation: "Today's extra dishes are all thanks to Zijin."
Then, Ding Jiayi glanced at Qiao Nan meaningfully. If it wasn't for celebrating for Zijin, she wouldn't have wanted to prepare the food for this dead girl when Zijin was not around.
"Nannan is back." Qiao Dongliang was in a good mood and saw good things in everything: "Nannan, Zijin has won an opportunity to participate in the provincial essay competition at school. Your sister has really improved this time."
"Provincial Capital Essay Competition?" Upon hearing the name, Qiao Nan raised his eyebrows in surprise. What a coincidence?
However, based on the composition written by Qiao Zijin, is she also qualified to participate in the competition?
"Yes. Nannan, when you go to high school, you will have the opportunity to participate in the provincial essay competition like Zijin." Thinking of his daughter's better grades, Qiao Dongliang felt that his daughter would definitely have such an opportunity in the future.
"Old Qiao, don't put so much pressure on Qiao Nan. Can anyone participate in the provincial capital essay competition? Zijin asked someone to tell her that only ten students from their entire affiliated high school went. That's one-tenth of the total. How many students are there in the affiliated high school? And these students are all good students. Zijin has really made us proud!" Ding Jiayi became more and more excited: "You used to take care of Zijin. Zijin told me that the books she read before, no matter what the plot was, the writing was good. Reading more of them will be of great help to her essay. You see, Zijin didn't waste her money and didn't read books randomly. Whatever books Zijin read, they all made sense."
"Dad, when will I go to the provincial capital for the competition?" Qiao Nan asked casually while drinking boiled water.
"Your sister won't be back next week. She has to stay in school for training because the essay competition will be on the weekend after next week."
"Oh, that's the same as me."
"Same?" Qiao Dongliang blinked: "Nannan, are you going to participate in the essay competition too?"
"Um."
"What do you mean by 'huh?' Zijin participated in the provincial capital's essay writing competition. How can it be the same?" Ding Jiayi slapped Qiao Nan in annoyance.
"I also participated in the provincial capital essay competition, and the time was the same as mine, so it was really a coincidence."
Qiao Nan's words should have been good news for the Qiao family, but in an instant, the smiles on Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi's faces froze.
Qiao Dongliang was happy, but at this moment he had too much to think about.
Qiao Zijin will be participating in the essay competition and will not be back next week, so she asked someone to bring a message back to ask Qiao Dongliang and his wife for money. She wants to buy some essay books and take a good look at them.
The child is making progress in his studies and performing well, and the book he bought is a serious composition book. As a parent, there is no reason for him to refuse.
Therefore, Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi simply collected ten yuan and gave it to the man, asking him to give it to Qiao Zijin.
This presents a problem. Both daughters are participating in a provincial essay writing competition. If I give ten yuan to my eldest daughter to buy study materials, but don't give it to my daughter, will she be able to accept it?
Qiao Dongliang, who has always pursued "fairness, justice and openness", became hesitant when he thought of the money in his pocket.
There was a famine at home and no manuscripts saved. Qiao Dongliang was also unsure and thought of ways to save as much as possible.
The ten dollars just now is already an extra expense. If I have to give another ten dollars, it would really be...
If he doesn't give it, Qiao Dongliang will feel it's unfair, but if he gives it, the money he spends is too much and he will feel the pain.
Ding Jiayi quickly pulled Qiao Dongliang. When they gave the money just now, Qiao Nan was not at home. Qiao Nan didn't even know that they gave Zijin ten yuan. "That's great. I'll prepare dinner. You go back to your room and read a book."
For the first time, Ding Jiayi was so willing to watch Qiao Nan go back to her room, do nothing but housework, and then read her own book.
"Yeah." Qiao Nan responded and walked back to the room with his schoolbag.
The couple was about to breathe a sigh of relief when Qiao Nan paused in her attempt to open the door. She turned her head and asked, "I'm going to participate in the provincial capital essay competition. Have you given me money to buy materials?"
Ding Jiayi's smiling face froze and turned green.
Qiao Dongliang was embarrassed for a moment. No matter how hard or poor he was, he couldn't let his child suffer. Qiao Dongliang gritted his teeth and reached into his trouser pocket: "Yes, I just asked someone to bring ten yuan to your sister. Qiao Nan, here, take this ten yuan. If there is any information you need, go and buy it. It's not easy to get such an opportunity, we must cherish it."
When she heard that she had to give Qiao Nan ten dollars, Ding Jiayi opened her mouth and asked for the sword.
Qiao Dongliang glared at Ding Jiayi and said, "If you don't like it, fine, I'll go to Zijin's school later and get the ten yuan back as well."
"How can it be the same? Zijin is in high school, and the information she bought is expensive, so just give her ten dollars. She is in junior high school, and the two competitions are different, and they are not together. Can't you just give her a few cents?" Ding Jiayi wowed.
"Why don't you give me one or two points?" Qiao Dongliang gave Ding Jiayi a blank look and said, "We treat everyone equally. Zijin gets ten yuan, and Nannan will also get ten yuan. It's settled. Nannan, take the money!"
Looking at the ten yuan that was forced into his hand, Qiao Nan, who had been feeling a little uncomfortable, now felt a little better.
At least her father tried his best to be fair to her and Qiao Zijin.
"Dad, I don't need it. My sister bought so many composition books and I really need them. It's enough for me to look at hers. But I'm going to the provincial capital for a competition next weekend, so I won't need the ten yuan. But you still have to give me two yuan. I can't ask the teacher to treat me to a meal, right?" After returning the ten yuan to Qiao Dongliang, Qiao Nan asked for another one.
"..." Qiao Dongliang felt sad after hearing Qiao Nan's words. His eldest daughter had so many review materials, but he had the impression that she had never bought any.
Fairness, there has never been fairness in their family.
But he had no choice. Zijin was looking for a son-in-law, and the child born by Zijin in the future would have his last name Qiao. He would try his best to be nice to Nannan: "Okay, here's three yuan, take it."
