Chapter 823: Chapter 822: The High School Entrance Exam Arrives on Schedule (Part 2)
Although the principal only hoped she and Zhong Yuan would strive to be among the top twenty in the city, her own goal was the top three. She couldn’t afford to lose points due to carelessness.
After checking her exam paper and finding no issues, Jiang Mianmian didn’t submit it early but lay on the desk waiting for the class bell.
Although one could submit early in the middle school entrance exam, her dad said he would pick her up at noon, so she would have to wait even if she left early.
Plus, it was still so sunny outside.
The invigilator saw Jiang Mianmian lying on the desk, immediately went over, and tapped her desk, worried she might be sick.
“Teacher, I’ve already finished,” Jiang Mianmian whispered.
The invigilator naturally knew Jiang Mianmian, the Little Genius. Hearing her say she’d finished and seeing her exam filled with answers, the invigilator nodded slightly and went to supervise other students.
At noon, when school was over, Jiang Changhai took his mom, wife, daughter, and two nephews to eat at a state-run restaurant.
It was Zhang Guihua’s first time eating at a state-run restaurant. Although before going, she kept complaining about how expensive it was, saying it was better to eat at home, when she was eating, she enjoyed it more than anyone else.
“Eldest, you know what? The chef at this state-run restaurant is really skilled. The same dish, but they make it taste better than at home,” Zhang Guihua said while savoring her meal.
“Well, that’s right! Otherwise, how could they call it a state-run restaurant? They make money with their skills,” Jiang Changhai said with a grin.
After the family finished their meal, Jiang Mianmian went back to her room to nap for a while and was then taken back to school by her family.
The middle school entrance exam lasted for two days. After the exam was over, Jiang Mianmian could finally take a well-deserved rest.
The old lady saw she finished the exam and packed her things to go home since she’d been out for more than ten days.
After all, there was still work on the farm. If she missed a day, she’d earn less work points!
“Grandma, stay for two more days. I’ve finished my exams and can take you out to play,” Jiang Mianmian pleaded, reluctant to see her grandma leave.
Jiang Changhai added, “Yes, Mom, don’t go back. I’ll make up for the work points you missed. Stay for a few more days.”
“What nonsense! If you dare waste money like those capitalists, I’ll whip you with a broom!”
Zhang Guihua first glared and scolded her eldest son, then turned to Jiang Mianmian, her demeanor instantly becoming loving: “Mianmian, the fields in the village haven’t finished harvesting yet. Grandma will go back to work first. After your results come out, with no more exams, come back to the village and stay with grandma for a few days.”
Jiang Mianmian nodded obediently: “Okay, Grandma, once the results come out, I’ll go back to the village to share the good news.”
“Alright, Grandma will be waiting for your good news at home,” Zhang Guihua said cheerfully.
Su Wanyu took out a big piece of pork, some ready-to-eat food, and seasonal fruits from the kitchen and handed them to Zhang Guihua.
“Mom, take these home and eat them. Next time we visit, we’ll buy more for you. Don’t be stingy about eating them.”
“It’s not easy for you to earn money, you should be thrifty,” Follow current novᴇls on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝘯𝘦𝘵
Zhang Guihua said, though she gladly accepted what Su Wanyu handed over: “Alright then, Eldest, let’s go.”
Jiang Changhai then rode his bicycle to take the old lady back home.
About a week later, the results of the middle school entrance exam were released.
Early in the morning, Jiang Mianmian got up at dawn. After breakfast, Jiang Changhai took her to school.
Before they even reached the school gate, from afar, Jiang Mianmian saw a long red banner hanging at the gate.
