Chapter 76: Chapter 76: Hurrying Home to Show Off
His eyebrows raised in delight as he bragged to Old Man Zheng, “Brother, my daughter has been smart since she was little, especially fond of studying. Look at her, skipping three grades to jump directly into the fourth grade, and she can still score full marks.”
Old Man Zheng listened and laughed along, praising, “Oh, Mianmian is really a little genius. At such a young age, she can already top her class. She will surely get into high school and become a worker.”
Jiang Mianmian felt somewhat embarrassed by the praise and tugged at Jiang Changhai’s arm, whispering, “Dad, let’s go home.”
Jiang Changhai remembered that his family was waiting for them to return home, and he nodded repeatedly, “Yes, we should hurry back and show your grandparents how capable you are!”
Thinking his daughter was walking too slowly because of her short legs, he immediately squatted down, “Come on, Mianmian, Dad will carry you home.”
“Dad, I’ll walk by myself for a while.”
Jiang Mianmian noticed her classmates coming and going, all staring at her, and felt slightly embarrassed—after all, inside she was almost a thirty-year-old aunt.
“Quickly get on. I’m eager to go home and show off to your grandma,” Jiang Changhai urged.
Jiang Mianmian: …
Alright, she wasn’t surprised at all, so she compliantly climbed onto her dad’s back.
As soon as the father and daughter entered the courtyard, Zhang Guihua and Sun Lixia ran out of the house.
Both of them stared at Jiang Mianmian with intense gaze, as if they wanted to melt her with their heat.
“San Ya, how did the test go? Did you get first place?” Zhang Guihua stared at Jiang Mianmian and asked.
Jiang Changhai stepped forward, walked up to his mother, and his chin almost reached up to the sky, “Mom, I’m not bragging, but your granddaughter inherited all my intelligence and wisdom. A hundred percent! She scored a hundred in both Chinese and Math, topping her entire grade. How about that? Impressive, right?”
Jiang Mianmian also proudly puffed out her little chest, as this achievement truly stemmed from her hard work!
“Really? Oh, that’s so wonderful.” Zhang Guihua was relieved to hear that Jiang Mianmian had come in first place.
However, Sun Lixia couldn’t accept this fact and pointed at Jiang Mianmian, accusing, “Didn’t you say yesterday that you did badly? How come you’re the first today? Are you lying to us?”
Jiang Changhai immediately frowned, displeased, “Isn’t it a time for celebration that Mianmian came first in her exams? Aren’t you happy for her as her aunt?”
Sun Lixia forced a smile, “If she really did come first, I, as her aunt, would definitely be happy for her. But none of us have seen the test. Who knows how many points she actually got?!”
In the house, Jiang Dashan heard the news of Jiang Mianmian ranking first, but before he could feel happy, he heard those two troublemakers outside arguing again.
He walked out, a stern expression on his face, “Enough already, always fighting. San Ya, bring out your test and show it to me.”
“Okay.” Jiang Mianmian quickly took out her test paper and ran over to Jiang Dashan.
She knew well who had the final say at home.
Jiang Dashan saw the red check marks filling the test paper, and his furrowed brow slightly relaxed, gradually his lips curled into a smile. @@novelbin@@
Even breaking with routine, he reached out and patted Jiang Mianmian’s head, “San Ya, keep studying hard. Tonight, let your grandma make you an egg custard.”
Jiang Mianmian smiled sweetly, “Thank you, Grandpa.”
Seeing her husband’s reaction, Zhang Guihua knew her granddaughter hadn’t lied and immediately leaned in, then her old face instantly bloomed like a chrysanthemum.
What do you think?
