"Let's go, let's go back to the store and tell Mom and Dad the good news!"
When Du Chen heard the good news, he immediately became energetic and urged Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao to go to the glasses store.
"Mom, we're back!"
As soon as he entered the glasses store, Du Chen shouted.
"Just come back if you want. Why are you making such a fuss? And you want me to go out and greet you?"
Ren Surong wiped her hands and came down from the second floor again, and said to Du Chen in a bad mood.
"Mom, it's okay to welcome him today!"
Du Chen said to Ren Surong with a grin on his face. Jia Xiaomin, who was following closely behind Ren Surong, smiled speechlessly when she heard Du Chen's words. She felt that Du Chen was itching for a beating since he hadn't been beaten for a long time.
"What did you say? I'll give you a chance to say it again."
Ren Surong glared at him, and also felt that Du Chen deserved a beating again because he hadn't been beaten for a long time.
"Mom, mom, my brother and sister Miaomiao have good news, I'm so happy!"
Du Chen heard the unkindness in his mother's tone and wisely stopped provoking her agitated nerves. He moved Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao behind him to the front. It would be better for the two parties involved to say the good news in person.
"Oh, Miaomiao, do you have any good news?"
Hearing that Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao had good news, Ren Surong used her traditional Chinese face-changing skills and asked Ding Miaomiao in a gentle tone. Du Chen looked at the large-scale double standard scene and thought his mother was so interesting. He just thought it was fun and of course he would not be jealous or feel wronged.
"Mom, Auntie, Du Bin and I's provincial competition results are out!"
Ding Miaomiao said happily to Jia Xiaomin and Ren Surong. Jia Xiaomin and Ren Surong did not say anything either, but waited attentively for Ding Miaomiao to continue.
"My result is third in the province, and Du Bin is seventh!"
Ding Miaomiao finally announced the long-awaited results for Ren Surong and Jia Xiaomin's families.
"Miaomiao, are your two grades good enough to get 20 extra points on the college entrance exam?"
Jia Xiaomin asked Ding Miaomiao with a trembling voice, and Ren Surong looked at Ding Miaomiao with the same excitement. The results of the provincial competition were not important, what was important was whether they could get extra points in the college entrance examination.
"That's right! Mom, Auntie, Du Bin and I both got extra points on the college entrance exam! And we can both participate in the national competition during the winter break!"
Ding Miaomiao answered Ren Surong and Jia Xiaomin with equal excitement. After more than two months of remedial lessons and practice exercises, her and Du Bin's hard work had finally paid off.
"That's great, that's great..."
Ren Surong and Jia Xiaomin were both muttering to themselves. They were so happy that their minds were blank and they were a little at a loss. They only knew that their children had achieved good results and would get extra points in the college entrance examination. They could not remember anything else.
"Mom, Auntie, please sit down and take it easy!"
Du Chen looked at the two people who looked a little confused, and winked at Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao. The three children quickly helped Ren Surong and Jia Xiaomin sit down and let them digest what they had just heard.
"Boss, did we hear correctly just now? You're seventh in the province? And Miaomiao is third?"
After a short pause, Ren Surong still asked Du Bin in disbelief.
"That's right, Mom, I'm seventh and Miaomiao is third!"
"Great! By the way, where are your and Miaomiao's certificates? There should be some!"
Ren Surong came back to her senses and asked Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao anxiously. She couldn't wait to see the award or certificate, so that she could feel at ease.
"That's right, Miaomiao, where are your and Du Bin's awards or certificates?"
Jia Xiaomin also came back to her senses and asked Ding Miaomiao who was beside her.
"Mom, Auntie, the teacher only told us our test results this morning and didn't give us any awards or certificates. It seems we have to wait until Monday when the national flag is raised, and then the principal will give us a special award!"
Seeing her own mother and Du Bin's mother looking so impatient, Ding Miaomiao felt a little touched, but the head teacher only told them two and said nothing else, so she had no choice.
"This is the provincial ranking, so it's only right that we give it an award!"
Ren Surong nodded in agreement.
"Mom, let me tell you something. Miaomiao and I will be speaking on the podium later."
Du Bin's eyes turned and he spoke to Ren Surong seemingly casually.
"That's great. Wealth and honor never return to one's hometown, like fine clothes walking at night. You've achieved good results, so it's normal for the school to arrange for you to give speeches. You two must perform well then!"
Ren Surong said happily.
"But Mom, I have another question."
Du Bin pretended to be embarrassed and said to Ren Surong.
"Tell me what the problem is, and I'll try to find a solution for you. If I can't solve it, there's still your dad!"
Ren Surong said proudly, "What big problem could Du Bin have? In her opinion, these are all trivial matters." Du Chen also looked at his brother Du Bin curiously, wondering what problem Du Bin could have.
"Mom, Miaomiao and I usually have to take extra classes every day. After that, we have to do papers and homework. Our daily schedule is pretty tight, right, Miaomiao?"
Du Bin spoke slowly to Ren Surong, and asked the last question to Ding Miaomiao who was standing beside him.
When Ding Miaomiao heard this, she understood what Du Bin meant and nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, that's right. I don't have any free time from morning till night. I'm basically just reading, studying, and doing papers. I don't have any spare time at all."
"What's wrong? Are you tired these days? How about we take a break for two or three days before making up for it? Let you two get some rest!"
Ren Surong thought Du Bin was trying to be lazy, and asked Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao with sudden realization.
"No mom, that's not what I meant!"
Du Bin said to Ren Surong with a smile.
"What do you mean?"
Ren Surong was even more curious about what Du Bin wanted to do, so she took the initiative to ask Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao.
"Mom, Miaomiao and I both need to give speeches on Monday, but we're both too busy to write a speech. What do you think?"
Du Bin finally stated his purpose.
"It's true that I don't have much time, but you can only spare a little time to write."
"Mom, I have an idea..."
Du Bin spoke hesitantly to Ren Surong.
Jia Xiaomin looked at Du Bin, then at Ding Miaomiao, who remained expressionless, and guessed that the two of them must be up to no good, otherwise Du Bin wouldn't be so hesitant.
"Just tell me what you think. We can all take it as a reference! It would be better if we don't waste your time!"
Ren Surong looked at Du Bin in confusion, not knowing what Du Bin was trying to say.
"Mom, you see, Miaomiao and I don't have time, so why don't you let Chenchen help us write this speech? He has to write books anyway, so why not help us write the speech as well?"
"Brother, what did you say?"
Before Ren Surong could say anything, Du Chen asked Du Bin in disbelief, and suddenly felt that it would be better not to have this brother.
