Rebirth in the 80s: The Scholar Wife is Cute
Chapter 124 Excitement

Chapter 124: Chapter 124 Excitement

"The school set up an improvement award to encourage students to study hard, with a prize of three yuan." Zhou Siyu originally intended to claim the award quietly and then surprise them both.

But she couldn’t hold back in her excitement just now and blurted it out.

However, it didn’t matter that she spoke earlier; she was confident about her performance this time and believed there was an 80% chance she would get the improvement award.

"Wow! Our Siyu is truly capable." Zhou Lanfang’s laughter revealed her upper gums as she prided herself in front of Shen Jianhua, "You see, I told you Siyu is especially good at studying! Letting Siyu study is worth it, she is bound to get into a top high school next year, and going to college will be no problem at all."

"How many winners are there for the improvement award?" Shen Jianhua was also very happy, but he was more rational than Zhou Lanfang.

The improvement award was obviously not for the top three students; it was designed to encourage students who’ve made substantial progress.

"Just one," Zhou Siyu proudly responded.

"Only one?" This time Shen Jianhua couldn’t suppress his excitement either.

Just one improvement award for dozens of students in the class, and Siyu won it—bragging rights in the village and proof that his efforts weren’t in vain.

Shen Jianhua was a man who loved face and was somewhat vain; at this moment, he felt entirely satisfied by Zhou Siyu’s news.

"Look, out of nearly a hundred students in the class, only Siyu won the improvement award. Siyu is like the reincarnation of the Literary Star, bringing glory to our entire village," Zhou Lanfang said, so elated her words were exaggerated beyond belief.

Zhou Siyu proudly lifted her chin; only she could make her uncle and aunt so happy.

Shen Mianmian listened to the trio’s conversation expressionlessly, finding it amusing. The results weren’t even out yet, but they were already certain Zhou Siyu had the award—isn’t that just asking to be embarrassed?

In her previous life, by this time, she had stopped attending school and was unaware of an improvement award.

But she was certain Zhou Siyu hadn’t won the improvement award.

Moreover, now there was her to consider.

The three of them were probably destined to be disappointed.

"People just can’t be compared. You tell me, the two kids paid the same tuition, came from the same teacher and classroom, why are they so different?"

Amidst her joy, Zhou Lanfang didn’t forget to put down Shen Mianmian. She wanted to make it clear to Shen Jianhua where the money was better spent and which child deserved to be supported through school.

She wanted to prove that she was right.

"Even eggs from the same hen are not all the same size; what’s so strange about that?" Shen Mianmian responded indifferently.

Zhou Lanfang glared, "Useless at work, useless at studying, but your backtalk is better than anyone else’s."

"Enough, don’t say too much," Shen Jianhua frowned and chided Zhou Lanfang.

With Zhou Siyu performing so well, Shen Mianmian did indeed pale in comparison, and he feared she would feel a psychological burden and think he was biased, so he asked.

"Mianmian, do you want to go visit your aunt with your mom tomorrow?"

Before Shen Mianmian could speak, Zhou Lanfang burst out, "Where would she sleep at night? Don’t you know the situation at my sister-in-law’s place?"

Shen Jianhua: "..."

He had forgotten about that; the Zhou family indeed lacked sleeping space, but since he’d already asked, he couldn’t just say she shouldn’t go.

So, biting the bullet, he said, "Mianmian, if you want to go have fun, you can go with your mom, and I’ll come to pick you up later in the evening."

Pick her up in the evening?

Was he joking?

Go in the afternoon, pick up in the evening, all that time wasted on the road—why would she bother going?

Her dad sure had some
