"Dad, Dad, look, look." Jiang Mianmian tugged at Jiang Changhai’s sleeve, excitedly pointing at the banner.
"Oh my, daughter, you’re amazing. You got first place in the entire city, you’re the city champion, haha, our Old Jiang Family has produced a top scorer!" Jiang Changhai looked up, his face instantly flushed with excitement.
The banner proudly displayed the words: "Warmly celebrate our student Jiang Mianmian for achieving the top score in Yang City!"
Since the moment he saw the words on the banner, his smile hasn’t left his face.
Other students and parents who came to see the results also warmly came up to greet Jiang Mianmian and Jiang Changhai.
"Parent of Jiang Mianmian, how did you raise such an amazing child? At such a young age, she got first in the whole city. This is such an honor for our Town No. 1 Middle School. It’s been years since we’ve achieved such great results."
"Indeed, Jiang Mianmian is truly worthy of being called the Little Prodigy known across the county." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢~𝙣𝙚𝙩
"Haha, you’re all too kind, but my daughter is indeed very capable. She’s loved learning from a young age, even before she knew how to read, she loved holding a book and looking at it. Her excellent score today is all thanks to inheriting the fine genes from me and her mother." Jiang Changhai proudly boasted to everyone.
From a short distance outside the school gates up to the entrance, they were surrounded by other students and parents, all offering their praise.
It wasn’t until the principal of No. 1 Middle School came out that the parents finally dispersed.
"Congratulations, Jiang Mianmian! Your first place in the whole city this time really brings great honor to our school! In light of your outstanding performance, the school has decided to hold an award ceremony for you and the other students with excellent results. All the rewards I mentioned before will be presented at the ceremony, and your subject teachers will also receive an additional three-month subsidy from the school." The principal said with a beaming smile, clearly overjoyed and thrilled.
After the city announced the results today, he immediately had a big banner made and hung it at the school gate. He wanted everyone to know that their school produced a city champion, which is such a great honor.
And from morning until now, he’d already received several calls from the education bureau’s leaders, all praising their exceptional teaching abilities.
Good news rejuvenates the spirit. Jiang Mianmian’s top score in the city has made him feel several years younger, even his slightly hunched back now straightened up.
"Thank you, Principal. My achievements today are also thanks to the school’s nurturing and the teachers’ help," Jiang Mianmian said humbly.
"Haha, you’re too modest, child. Your outstanding score is all due to your own hard work and talent. Alright, I won’t keep you any longer, hurry back to class, Teacher Chu must be waiting anxiously." The principal chatted with Jiang Mianmian for a while longer, then lovingly patted her head and asked her to get her report card.
"Yes, goodbye, Principal."
Jiang Mianmian waved to the principal and walked into the school with her dad.
When they reached Class 3-1, seeing other parents not going inside, Jiang Changhai didn’t make an exception: "Daughter, you go in by yourself, Dad will wait here for you."
"Okay, Dad, I’ll be out in a moment." After saying this, Jiang Mianmian went into the class.
