Chapter 427 First Prize
After returning to W City, the family's life returned to normal.
Fang Xinyi's injuries are getting better day by day. The three children go to school and go home together every day, and their relationship is as good as that of real sisters.
In the blink of an eye, it was April. After school at noon, the three girls and Ji Ziang waited for Ji Zixuan to come out beside the carport.
Ji Ziang touched his stomach impatiently: "Brother, why haven't you come out yet? I'm almost starving to death."
Ji Yuanyuan looked up at him and saw that his hair was messy and there was a streak of blood behind his ear.
Ji Yuanyuan frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
She stretched out her hand, pointed at the wound behind Ji Ziang's ear, and asked.
Ji Ziang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Nothing, I was accidentally scratched when I was playing with my deskmate."
Ji Yuanyuan knew Ji Ziang, and he was obviously lying right now.
His eyes were a little evasive and his hands were making small movements.
Did he fight with someone? But if he did, there shouldn't be more than just this one wound, right?
Ji Yuanyuan looked Ji Ziang up and down calmly.
His face and hands were clean, with no other wounds except behind his ears.
Wasn't it a fight? Then why did he lie?
Just when Ji Yuanyuan was wondering in her heart, Ji Zixuan finally arrived.
He held a math book in his hand, walked to his bicycle, and threw the book into the basket.
Seeing this, Ji Ziang said, "Not really? There's only so much time at noon, not even enough for a lunch break, and you're still taking the book home to read?"
He really couldn't understand it. His brother's grades were so good, why was he still working so hard?
A few days ago, the third-year junior high school students took a mock exam, and my eldest brother got the first place in the school.
That's all, and you're still not satisfied?
Ji Zixuan explained: "I just used the book to hold something."
"What is it?" Ji Ziang asked curiously.
People were coming and going at the school gate, and Ji Zixuan didn't say anything.
After leaving the school gate, Ji Zixuan leaned over, took out the math book from the basket, and handed it to Ji Ziang: "Read it yourself."
Ji Ziang held the cart with one hand and took the math book with the other.
Ji Yuanyuan didn't ride a bike, but followed along.
She was too lazy to ride, so she usually just hitchhiked. Her two brothers took turns giving her a ride.
The bicycle was idle most of the time. Since Fang Xinyi transferred to this school, Ji Yuanyuan simply gave her his bicycle.
After taking a look, Ji Yuanyuan's eyes widened: "First prize?"
Tucked inside the book was a certificate.
Ji Zixuan won the first prize in the league he participated in last month.
"Are there any prizes?" Ji Ziang asked with concern.
"Well, I was given a notebook and a schoolbag or something, but I was in a hurry to get out, so I didn't bring it."
Ji Yuanyuan didn’t care about these at all. What she cared about was whether this first prize could bring any convenience to Ji Zixuan in the future high school entrance examination.
"Will I get extra points in the high school entrance exam?" Ji Yuanyuan asked.
Ji Zixuan nodded: "Our teacher said that if we win first prize, we will get an extra ten points."
"Ten, so many?" Fang Xinyi asked in surprise.
It is very difficult for students like them to improve.
The better students study, the harder it is to improve their grades.
Ji Zixuan nodded: "Yes, not only the league, many competition awards can add points in the high school entrance examination. If you are interested, you can learn more about it. I can lend you my books, and if you have any questions, you can come to me."
Because Fang Xinyi's family is not well off, both Ji Ziang and Ji Zixuan are very patient with her.
Fang Xinyi's eyes lit up when she heard Ji Zixuan's words: "Really?"
"Of course it's true. You're only in the first grade, so you still have plenty of time."
Fang Xinyi pursed her lips and said hesitantly: "My math grades are okay, but not particularly good. How about you lend me two of the most basic books first, so I can see if I have the ability..."
As the two talked, they rode away on their bikes.
Ji Ziang quickly got on the car and told Ji Yuanyuan: "Get in quickly, I'm almost starving."
Ji Yuanyuan jumped into Ji Ziang's car. Ji Ziang kicked the car and it drove away.
Yang Jingyi rode her bike and followed behind sullenly.
When Ji Yuanyuan saw her appearance, she came back to her senses all of a sudden.
Are you feeling sad because you see that your elder brother is in love with the other person?
She reached out and patted Ji Ziang on the back: "Wait, let me go."
Ji Ziang stopped the car, a little confused: "What's wrong?"
Ji Yuanyuan jumped out of the car and waved to Yang Jingyi: "Jingyi, give me a ride!"
Seeing this, Ji Ziang curled his lips, said nothing, and rode away on his bike.
Yang Jingyi stopped the car, Ji Yuanyuan jumped in, and then asked, "What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"
Yang Jingyi stared at the bicycle with difficulty and said nothing.
"How about I give you a ride?" Ji Yuanyuan asked tentatively.
Yang Jingyi then said: "No need!"
"Is it because of my elder brother?" Ji Yuanyuan asked in a low voice when she saw that everyone else had walked away.
Yang Jingyi suddenly sighed deeply and said, "Brother Zixuan has never said so many words to me. He seems to treat Ziyi differently."
After a pause, she turned her head and looked at Ji Yuanyuan behind her: "Do you think he likes girls who are good at studying?"
Ji Yuanyuan patted her on the back and said, "Look ahead!"
Yang Jingyi quickly withdrew her gaze.
Ji Yuanyuan thought for a moment and whispered, "That's for sure. My eldest brother is a good student and he definitely likes girls who are good at studying."
Yang Jingyi is still so young now, so her love for Ji Zixuan is naturally not that kind of love.
It's more of worship.
It would be great if this could ignite her passion for learning.
After Ji Yuanyuan finished speaking, Yang Jingyi didn't say anything, but just kept her head down and pedaled her bike hard.
At the intersection, several people went their separate ways.
Fang Xinyi went to the store to find Deng Juan, while the others returned to the community.
The store is now stable, so Deng Juan is the only one in charge.
Hu Chunli and Li Xu came out and were already thinking about the address of the next store.
When she got home, Li Xu had already prepared dinner.
Seeing the children come back, she stood up and went to the kitchen to get the dishes and chopsticks: "Go wash your hands quickly."
"Mom, wait a minute!" However, as soon as Li Xu stood up, Ji Ziang stopped her.
Li Xu turned around in surprise and looked at Ji Ziang: "What's wrong?"
Ji Ziang handed the book to Li Xu, with a mysterious look on his face: "Take a look, there is a surprise inside."
Surprise? Li Xu took the book suspiciously.
Isn’t it just an ordinary math book?
Li Xu flipped through it casually and saw a piece of paper inside.
She took it out and unfolded it.
After seeing the words clearly, her eyes widened and she asked in disbelief, "First prize? Really first prize?"
