Chapter 647: Second Place
Knowing that her two children would be home today, she specially went to a state-run restaurant to pack several meat dishes that her darlings liked.
"good!"
Helian Jiao happily walked home.
Xiao Chenhao quickly took his sister's hand, and Da Bai followed closely behind.
Gu Tingyun helped her mother push the bicycle, walking on the other side of the baby.
When they arrived at Old Chen's house, Jiang Manyun parked her bicycle in the yard, took a bag of packed food and went into the house: "Aunt Chen, Guaibao and Tingyun are coming back today. This is meat and vegetables that I packed from the state-run restaurant. I'll add some dishes for Guaibao tonight."
"Thank you, then I'll accept it. Why don't you and Tingyun stay for dinner too? Dinner is almost ready!" Ma Xiulian urged.
Jiang Manyun smiled and declined, "No, my husband is still waiting at the factory! You guys eat, Tingyun, take your things, we're going home."
Before Gu Tingyun could speak, Ma Xiulian added, "Then let Tingyun eat here before going back. I specially made dishes that the two children like."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Manyun didn't stand on ceremony and said, "Alright, then Tingyun, stay for dinner before you go back."
Over the years, the two families have become closer than relatives.
After returning to the commune, Helian Jiao and Gu Tingyun resumed their simple, fulfilling, and colorful lives.
The little princess felt that life was simple, because she spent five days a week studying, studying, studying, and only had time to go hunting in the mountains and fishing in the water on weekends. She lived a fulfilling and carefree life.
In Gu Tingyun's heart, every day spent with her precious child is wonderful and fulfilling.

Before we knew it, the high school entrance exam was over.
Gu Tingyun won first place in the county with a perfect score in all subjects, while Helian Jiao was five points behind him and came in second place.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
As soon as the results came out, early in the morning, Zhao, the brigade leader of the commune, went from house to house, banging gongs and drums to announce the news, carrying a loudspeaker in his hand, as if afraid that no one would miss it.
"Congratulations to Gu Tingyun from our Sanqiao Commune School! She achieved a perfect score in all subjects in the recent high school entrance examination, ranking first in the county. Chen Jiao came in second!"
"Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen, Tingyun and Guaibao have really made our commune proud! The two of them took first and second place, they're amazing! The commune has decided to hold an award ceremony for the two kids tomorrow!" Captain Zhao ran to the Chen family, his face full of smiles, and praised them repeatedly with a thumbs up.
Ma Xiulian's face beamed with joy: "This is all thanks to the excellent teaching of the teachers at the commune! Tingyun and Guaibao will definitely be there tomorrow!"
With such a smart child, he'll definitely be able to go to high school and university, and live a good life like a city dweller!
Chen Dazhu smiled, thinking to himself: My darling has brought honor to our Chen family again!
Over the years, under the subtle influence of his family, his thinking has gradually changed, and now he no longer favors boys over girls.
Captain Zhao gave some instructions and then turned and left, his steps light and quick. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought that his child had gotten the top score in the county.
In those days, people were simple and honest, and when the villagers heard the news, they were all happy for the two children's good grades.
Furthermore, since the teachers at the Sanqiao Commune School were all villagers, these achievements would bring great pride to both the school and the commune if they were to be publicized.
As the head of the commune, Zhao Mancang was the happiest person besides the Chen family.
The first and second place in the entire county both belong to their commune. What does this mean?
Typing on my phone is slow back home, so I'll finish typing when I get home after dinner.
