Chapter 477 Reward: Ten Yuan
Once everyone had arrived, Zhao Mancang went up on stage, picked up a megaphone, and began with his usual spiel, which made everyone yawn with boredom.
Ma Xiulian was getting impatient: Hurry up and finish your nonsense and tell us about rewarding the little darling!
Perhaps hearing her thoughts, Zhao Mancang paused for a moment before finally saying, "Folks, there's something else I want to tell you all today, about our commune school. Guaibao and Tingyun are both excellent students and achieved perfect scores in their final exams, tying for first place in their grade. Let's all give them a round of applause!"
As he spoke, he led the applause.
Everyone already knew about this, but they still clapped along to show their respect.
Helian Jiao stood tall and proud, enjoying everyone's admiring gaze.
She's the most dazzling person wherever she goes!
Gu Tingyun remained calm and composed, showing no signs of being surprised by praise or criticism.
Ma Xiulian was overjoyed, even happier than if she had received the commendation herself.
Chen Jianjun said with a proud look: This is his daughter!
The rest of the Chen family also looked proud.
Holding Yuanbao in her arms, Zhao Mei thought that when her son grew up, she would send him to school so that he could also bring honor to Old Chen's family.
Zhou Zhaodi looked smug: This is her own niece!
As for the two at home, I really can't even think about them; just thinking about them makes me angry.
It's normal that they can't compare to the good kids, but even Da Ni and San Ni, who have to go home to do chores after school, did better than them!
Looks like I haven't been beaten enough!
Liu Lanzhi increasingly understood why her parents-in-law doted on their little niece.
The baby is fair-skinned, smart, filial, and sensible; she brings honor to Old Chen's family.
Not to mention the elderly couple, even she loves it!
She looked at her son and daughter in her arms, hoping that when they grew up, they would be as clever, sensible, and lovable as her precious children.
At this moment, Chen Jianye felt a little regretful. If he hadn't given the baby to the fourth son, wouldn't he be the one who would be proud now?
A hint of disdain flashed in Li Chunhua's eyes. It was only because her little treasure hadn't gone to school that he would have definitely gotten first place!
Besides, maybe that brat got a perfect score by copying Tingyun's test paper!
Zhao Mancang raised his hand and pressed down, and after the applause subsided, he continued, "Therefore, the commune has decided to give the two of them a bonus of ten yuan!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the people of the commune erupted in an uproar, discussing the matter animatedly.
"My God! Did I hear that right? The brigade leader said he'd give a ten-yuan reward!"
"Ten yuan is a month's worth of work points!"
"I just wrote a few words and got ten yuan for free. This money is too easy to come by!"
The Chen family was also stunned, never expecting that such a young child could earn so much money through education.
She grew increasingly envious of the fourth son, who had gotten such a wonderful daughter for no reason.
They toil away in the fields all day long, and in a month they only earn about ten work points. But Guabao can earn ten yuan just by taking a test!
Listening to everyone's discussion, Li Zhiqing was very satisfied; this was exactly the effect he wanted.
After everyone had discussed for a while, Zhao Mancang finally spoke up: "Quiet! Now, let's invite Guaibao and Tingyun to come up on stage to receive their awards!"
With her chin held high, Helian Jiao walked confidently onto the stage with Gu Tingyun, amidst the envious gazes of the crowd.
She's the best at everything!
Seeing that she was not only not intimidated at all, but also looked proud and self-satisfied, Li Zhiqing liked her vigor and confidence very much.
Looking at Gu Tingyun to the side, his fair face was stern, exuding the composure of a great general.
Both are good!
