25 medals
◎This is the honor of a soldier◎
"As long as you don't spend money recklessly, how can you possibly be broke?" Bai Xia patiently explained, "In fact, keeping wealth is the hardest part. If you have the ability to earn money yourself, you'll definitely be able to make more money in the future."
Lu Shuo scratched his head and asked, "What if I don't know how to make money?"
His mother also asked him to take financial management classes seriously so that he could take over the company in the future, but he couldn't understand anything they were saying. It was even more difficult than Chinese class.
"If you don't know how to make money, just save it and don't invest or start a business recklessly. You will never starve in this life." Bai Xia said seriously.
Lu Jinnian will definitely leave some security for his grandson. Buying a car and a house are still within his spending range, but he is afraid that he will insist on investing and starting a business, which is the fastest way to bankruptcy.
"What about my game company? I'm going to have a lot of people develop lots of games for me so I can play them however I want!"
Thinking of this, Lu Shuo's eyes lit up. When he thought of this scene, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep.
"Then you should invest less money and control costs. It's best to have someone help you manage your finances so that you don't spend it all at once. You don't have to know everything, but you can let someone who knows help you control costs." Seeing his confused face, Bai Xia felt that he didn't understand either, so he simply went back to his room.
Lu Shuo seemed to be thinking about something. He couldn't give all the money to his mother, because then his mother would know how much money he had saved. But he didn't have his own bank card, so where could he save the money?
He was doing his homework in his room at night, thinking that if he could get first place, he could ask his parents for a lot of money. As the door was pushed open, Yao Yun brought him some fruit and asked him how his studies were going today.
Ever since he started doing his homework, he felt that his parents had become much gentler towards him, and even his great-grandfather cared about him.
So he told her what he had seen that afternoon, "Is Xia Xia's father going to find a stepmother for her too? Will I have more nephews and nieces in the future?"
Yao Yun glanced at him while checking her son's homework. "What stepmother? Your eldest brother is not married yet. Xia Xia is not a legitimate child. You are the real legitimate child of the Lu family."
Hearing this, Lu Shuo sat there biting an apple, his face full of confusion, "But my classmates all said that I was born by a stepmother, so I was so angry that I fought with them."
He also didn't understand why there was such a big age gap between him and his older brother, and why his older brother didn't like him at all. Was it because his mother was his older brother's stepmother? But his mother didn't abuse his older brother.
Hearing what her son said, Yao Yun's eyes changed slightly, and she looked at her son with heartache. She didn't expect that he would fight with others because of this.
She put down her homework and reached out to touch her son's head. "You don't need to care about what those people say. This is a modern society. No one says you have to stay single for your whole life. Those people might be worse off than you. Just make your grandfather happy. As long as you have money, those people will still respect you. They look down on us because we haven't joined the company. Once you have a say, no one will look down on you."
Hearing this, Lu Shuo nodded, seemingly understanding. As if thinking of something, he asked tentatively, "Can I open a gaming company when I grow up?"
Seeing that he was still solely focused on games, Yao Yun took a deep breath and emphasized to her son again, "How much money can you make playing games? Don't dwell on playing games all the time. Studying hard is the most important thing."
Seeing that his mother really didn't agree with him starting a gaming company, Lu Shuo could only lower his head in disappointment.
When she returned to school on Monday, during lunch, Bai Xia gave everyone a ticket to her competition. Pressure brings motivation, and this was the key to testing her summer study.
Looking at the words "Judo Competition" on the ticket, Qi Mo's spoon fell into the bowl. No wonder he couldn't beat Bai Xia in kindergarten. It turned out that she had really practiced.
What should he do? This makes him seem even less manly.
"I will definitely go to cheer you on!" he said with a forced smile.
Bai Xia gave herself the ticket, which meant that she regarded him as a good friend, otherwise why didn't she give it to other students?
Thinking of this, he immediately lowered his head to eat in embarrassment and could only glance at the girl opposite him out of the corner of his eyes.
"Wow! Bai Xia is so awesome! But don't you have bodyguards? Why do you still need to learn how to fight?" He Yuehua looked puzzled.
People were coming and going in the cafeteria. Bai Xia ate his meal and then looked at a few people seriously. "Fighting is uncivilized behavior, but whether or not you can protect yourself is another matter. We can't bully others, but we can't be bullied by others either!"
Lin Yan's eyes moved, "Rich people are easy to be kidnapped. Learning some skills will make it easier to surprise them."
Bai Xia frowned. This kid suddenly interrupted others.
"Yeah, I heard that many kidnappers would kidnap children for money, so my parents installed a locator on me. No matter where I am, my parents will know." He Yuehua held up her little watch.
Only Wang Yiyi lowered her head in disappointment to eat, and her parents ignored her at all.
"When I become stronger, I can protect you!" Bai Xia picked up a chicken leg and handed it to her.
Wang Yiyi blinked and nodded shyly.
"Will you protect me too?" Qi Mo glanced at her secretly with a red face.
Bai Xia's face darkened instantly. "You should think about how to improve your own abilities instead of always thinking about needing others to protect you."
Hearing this, Qi Mo instantly became anxious, "Then how can you protect them? Aren't we classmates? You are too biased!"
"I only have a pair of hands, of course they are only enough to protect them. Isn't it good for you to be self-reliant with your own hands and feet?" Bai Xia was too lazy to talk to him.
Qi Mo poked the rice in the bowl hard. One day he would grow tall and strong, so that he could protect Bai Xia and would not need the protection of a girl like her.
A judo competition was held in the city on Saturday morning. Although Bai Xia told the heroine not to come, she still saw him and his male supporting actor that day. The venue was very large, and the two of them sat in the first row and smiled at her.
He Yuehua and his group sat in the second row, surrounded by bodyguards. Qi Mo held up a small banner in his hand, which he had taken from somewhere, and it was hard to ignore.
The competition is limited to those under eight years old, so you can see many children aged six or seven. However, this is a super lightweight competition, so you will basically not encounter big guys.
Bai Xia came with her coach. The other party was obviously more nervous than her. He kept telling her to focus on defense when she went on the court. She was no match for the others in brute force. He was probably afraid that if she got hurt, the male protagonist would cause trouble for her.
In fact, there is not much difference. Bai Xia observed that the tallest boy is only one head taller than her. It’s a small problem.
However, those who came to participate in the competition were definitely not show-offs. After watching the previous few games, she felt that everyone was still very strong. When it was her group's turn, her opponent was a six-year-old boy who was half a head taller than her.
As the referee blew the whistle, neither of them moved. Suddenly, the boy threw a straight punch. Bai Xia quickly dodged to the left, then turned around and kicked the boy in the jaw. In an instant, the boy suddenly took a few steps back and fell to the ground. The referee also blew the whistle.
The referee continued to blow the whistle only after confirming that the boy was still able to compete.
This time the boy attacked very quickly, and his left punch hit her left rib directly. Bai Xia took the opportunity to grab his arm, threw him to the ground, and instantly controlled him to the ground with a horizontal four-square lock.
Judo competitions are all about technique. Unless there is a significant difference in size, it basically comes down to reaction ability.
"Ten, eight, seven, six—"
The referee stared at the boy closely and saw that he had been pinned to the ground. When he counted to one, he blew the whistle suddenly and pulled up Bai Xia's hand.
Qi Mo in the audience was stunned. He suddenly felt that Bai Xia was very gentle to him.
Bai Ruanwen looked at this scene in disbelief. Although she knew that her daughter was learning judo, she didn't expect her to be so powerful.
She saw the vigorous strength in her daughter, which also supported her to where she is today. If it weren't for her daughter's encouragement, she might still be immersed in the sorrow of the past and ignore her original life.
"Xia Xia is amazing." Song Xun held her hand.
Bai Ruanwen smiled slightly, and his eyes became softer as he looked at his daughter.
In the last row in the corner, Lu Lin forced himself to suppress the resentment that was bursting out in his heart. He turned his gaze back to the stage. Seeing the girl holding her hands high, the anger in his heart gradually subsided, and at the same time, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
There were constant cheers in the field. The final was between Bai Xia and a short boy. She had been observing the opponent for a long time. Although the boy was short, he had very fast reaction ability and she would be pinned to the ground by him if she was not careful.
As the two came on the court, the boy took the lead in attacking as soon as the referee blew the whistle, trying to use a sweeping kick to make her lose control of her body. When Bai Xia dodged, he threw a straight punch at her face. The opponent's movements were too fast, and she could only hold her body to block.
She was punched twice on the arm, and while the opponent was attacking, she took advantage of the opportunity to kick him in the abdomen, then threw him to the ground. However, the boy was very fast and tried to take the initiative with a horizontal four-way lock. Bai Xia could only cross her legs across his neck to lock his arms tightly.
The referee blew the whistle suddenly and looked at Bai Xia with a strange look in his eyes. This was a competition for children under eight years old. Which coach would teach such a lethal move as the armbar?
After separating the two, Bai Xia could only focus on defense temporarily, because the opponent's reaction ability was too fast and she did not have much advantage.
They tugged at each other for five minutes, and when the time was up the referee blew the whistle again and raised both of their hands at the same time.
Qi Mo's heart was in his throat. He didn't expect Bai Xia to tie. He found it even more unbelievable that Bai Xia was so young and yet he won the gold medal in his first competition.
When receiving the award, Bai Xia shook hands with the boy. It was undeniable that the other party was very capable, and she also had a lot to work on.
As soon as the competition was over, she ran to the audience and raised her gold medal to Bai Ruanwen, "Mom, am I awesome?"
Bai Ruanwen's eyes turned red, and she squatted down and kissed her daughter's face, "That's amazing, Xia Xia is your mother's pride."
Looking at the red marks on her daughter's head, she felt only pride. Her daughter was very strong and had the courage to face any difficulties, which was something she needed to learn from her daughter.
"Mom is also my role model. I will study hard in the future and become as good as my mom." Bai Xia put the medal around Bai Ruanwen's neck.
The latter couldn't help but touch its forehead, "Does it hurt? I'll take you back and apply medicine, otherwise it will leave bruises."
Bai Xia let the heroine pick him up, then smiled slightly, "This is a warrior's honor. If you don't have the ability to withstand a blow, you will be knocked down by a single punch in the future. That's what the coach said."
Bai Ruanwen felt both distressed and helpless. This time she did not hide it, but asked Song Xun to go back, and she took her daughter back to the Lu family to apply medicine.
Lu Jinnian did not go out today, as if he knew that his great-granddaughter was participating in a competition today. When he saw the injury on the girl's head, he was heartbroken and quickly asked the housekeeper to call the family doctor.
"It's okay, great-grandfather. This is a soldier's honor. Look, I got the medal, but I have another brother who is also very good. He also took first place."
Bai Xia held up her certificate and gold medal. With this practical experience, she also realized her shortcomings. It was quite satisfying.
Lu Jinnian wanted to laugh but also felt distressed, so he quickly asked the housekeeper to call the family doctor, and immediately asked Bai Ruanwen to take the girl to apply medicine. Her great-granddaughter really could get first place in everything.
Lu Shuo stood on the second floor and looked at the first floor. Looking at the medal in Bai Xia's hand, he felt it was extremely heavy. What should he do? Wouldn't he be unable to beat this little brat in the future?
