"Wow, school hasn't even started yet, and you bought me such a nice schoolbag?" someone asked.
This touched An Guorong's sore spot, and he stood on the edge of the field laughing proudly.
"What do you know? My son is a genius! School doesn't charge for studying, and they even give him free paper and pens!"
"I just thought that the money for this pen and the tuition fees were all saved by the child himself, so what's wrong with me buying him a school bag as a reward?!"
"If you have the guts, have your children do their homework in the principal's office at the commune primary school!"
As for the matter of going to the teacher's house for dinner, it's better to say less about it, so that some people won't make a fuss about wanting to go to the teacher's house for dinner too. The teacher is kind enough to help him, and he can't just create problems for others.
"What do you mean by lazy? Jingzhi can't work well because he's not in good health. Have you ever seen a scholar who can do farm work well? People who can read are like this!"
"Why haven't you talked about studying in recent years? It's because Jingzhi listened to his sister's studies a few times and thought it was too easy, so he didn't go."
"I didn't prepare much, I just taught myself for a few months. When I went to school, the teachers and the principal took me seriously, and I was admitted directly to the fifth grade."
"How could this be false? Just go to school and ask around and you'll find out."
Before Grandma An got home, she heard from others that An Guorong had returned to the village.
She also knew that An Guorong had spent all the money she had given to An Jingzhi for his studies, so she bought him a schoolbag.
Before An Guorong could finish showing off, Grandma An and Fan Chunmei, who had heard the news and came to watch the fun, came over together.
When the old lady saw the army green schoolbag that An Jingzhi was carrying, her face became long.
"Old Four! What's going on?"
An Guorong was not afraid at all, but he still planned a way to escape in advance.
With a playful smile, he said, "Mom, your grandson is really capable! He made our family proud at the commune primary school today!"
He vividly described how An Jingzhi entered school and took the exam, how he was treated with great respect by the teacher, how several teachers were vying to teach him, and how they waived his tuition and gave him paper and pen.
Everyone listened with great interest, and the old lady's gloomy face gradually turned into a proud smile after listening.
She patted An Jingzhi's head and said proudly, "My grandson looks like me! When I was in the literacy class, I was always among the top students in terms of literacy. Life was hard back then. If I could read, I would definitely be a high school student now..."
The following is the old lady reminiscing about the past, thinking back to the past and thanking the leader for his time.
An Jingzhi finally understood who his father looked like. So it was hereditary?
In short, he is smart like his mother, his father, and his grandmother, but not like himself.
If he remembered correctly, he heard his grandfather say that there were only five people in the literacy class his grandmother attended.
There were two elderly ladies who had only been there to earn work points. They chatted while doing their work and never attended classes at all, so his grandmother's top ranking was really exaggerated...
Fan Chunmei was very considerate. When the old lady lamented that she had no chance to receive education in her life, she looked regretful and praised the old lady's words.
According to her, the old lady was just delayed by the times, otherwise she would have been a college student or a cadre by now. In the end, she was praised so much that even the old lady herself felt guilty.
