Chapter 673: Chapter 673: Truly Fond of the Granddaughter
“Mianmian, aren’t you going back to school to collect your grades?” Zhang Guihua watched Jiang Mianmian sitting steadily and asked curiously.
“Granny, my dad is coming to pick me up and take me home today. He will go to the school and get my grades for me, then come to pick me up,” Jiang Mianmian explained.
“Ah, leaving today? Time really flies, and it’s already been three days,” Zhang Guihua counted, realizing today was indeed the third day.
She felt like Jiang Mianmian hadn’t stayed at home for many days, yet she was already leaving.
Jiang Mianmian, seeing her granny’s reluctance, reassuringly said, “Granny, don’t worry. When I come back from the Capital City and have some time, I will visit you again.”
“Oh, alright, then. Remember to come and stay for a few days before school starts again,” Zhang Guihua finally smiled upon hearing this.
She truly cherished such a smart and well-behaved granddaughter who brought her prestige.
The commune primary school was not far from the Jiang Family home. In less than an hour, the children returned.
Zhiwen and Zhiwu, the two boys, were the happiest. They each grabbed their exam papers and ran into the main room, holding up the papers for their granny to see.
“Granny, look, I passed this time. I got seventy points in every subject!” Zhiwen excitedly exclaimed, his face flush with excitement. This was the first time he had scored so high, and last semester’s hard work had not been in vain.
“Granny, Granny, I passed too, and I also got more than seventy points in each subject,” Zhiwu also said, hopping with his own papers in hand.
“Oh, good, good, my dear grandsons, that’s wonderful. Zhiwen scored so high this time, and he can start middle school at the beginning of the term,” Zhang Guihua said joyfully.
Jiang Dashan also seldom showed a smile and praised, “Zhiwen did very well this time. Keep it up. Continue to study hard in middle school.”
“Understood, grandpa. Don’t worry,” Zhiwen replied and then cheerfully handed his test papers to his dad.
Jiang Changtao took the papers, glanced at the scores, and revealed a satisfied smile, “Good, you did well on the exam.”
Zhiwen, finally praised by his dad, was so happy his face almost stiffened into a permanent smile.
Zhao Xiaojuan saw Zhaodi holding her papers with a troubled expression and approached her with concern, “Zhaodi, what’s wrong? Did you not do well this time?”
“Mom, I didn’t come first this time, only second,” she replied.
Zhaodi was regretful; she could have come first in this exam.
When she received her paper, she saw that the questions were not difficult, so she didn’t pay much attention. The last question was tricky, and she only read the prompt once before writing down her answer.
If she hadn’t been so careless and had thoroughly reviewed the questions, she certainly could have come first.
“Coming second is also very good, don’t think too much about it,” Zhao Xiaojuan gently comforted her by patting her shoulder.
“Yes, Zhaodi, coming second is pretty impressive. Just keep studying hard next term, and try for first place,” Jiang Dashan also offered words of encouragement.
In Jiang Dashan’s heart, Zhaodi might be the next Little Prodigy in the family after Jiang Mianmian.
Plus, with the blessings of an Immortal, he also had high hopes for Zhaodi.
“Yeah, Zhaodi, don’t be upset. Just do well next term,” Da Ya also urged.
Da Ya’s grades had improved from last term. She had just started school and was not quite accustomed to it yet; now, she was getting used to school life.
Er Ya’s grades had also improved from last term and were steadily increasing.
Zhang Guihua, whether Zhaodi came first or second, didn’t really mind.
