Chapter 129: Chapter 129 Show off

"Okay, okay, okay." Shen Jianhua was very happy, "Wait for me a moment. It’s dark outside; I’ll grab the flashlight."

Shen Jianhua went into the house and rummaged around for a while, then came out empty-handed, "I couldn’t find the flashlight. It must have been taken by your mom. There’s moonlight outside, it’s not that dark. You follow behind me!"

Shen Mianmian followed behind him, and when the two arrived at Zhang Changfa’s house, Zhou Lanfang was chatting with someone else, while Zhou Siyu had already gotten into the zone, watching the TV series with great concentration.

Zhang Changfa had moved the black-and-white TV to the big table in the main room. The room was packed with people, even crowding the doorway, which was just fine as it was the middle of winter, and the crowd actually made it cozy and warm.

When they saw Shen Jianhua and his daughter coming over, someone joked with a laugh, "Well, well, speak of the devil and he shall appear. Your man has come."

Hearing this, Zhou Lanfang eagerly called out to Shen Jianhua, "Come over here, sit and watch."

Shen Jianhua didn’t go over but said to his daughter, "Mianmian, you go sit by your mom."

"Okay."

Shen Mianmian didn’t hesitate and went straight over to sit down.

"That’s for your dad to sit. What are you doing sitting there?" Zhou Lanfang’s face fell, and she glared with her eyes wide. If not for the crowd, she would have definitely slapped this little brat.

"My dad asked me to sit here." Shen Mianmian replied indifferently, with no intention of getting up. Then she winked at Xiaocui sitting behind her and moved the stool back a bit to sit alongside Xiaocui.

"You..." Zhou Lanfang was infuriated, but with so many people around, if she lost her temper, it would just confirm the rumors that she mistreated Shen Mianmian. So, she bit her tongue and held back.

"Aunt, why don’t you sit here?" Zhou Siyu offered her stool.

Compared to this, Zhou Siyu seemed exceptionally thoughtful.

"You sit. I’m fine standing." How could she let her niece stand and watch?

"Siyu is really thoughtful."

The wife of Zhang Changfa, who was standing by, couldn’t help but praise her.

In fact, she didn’t mean to praise Zhou Siyu deliberately, it’s just that she felt a bit embarrassed remembering her cold attitude towards Zhou Siyu in the past days for not having paid the fees, and then Shen Jianhua suddenly paying so much.

"That’s right." Zhou Lanfang followed the conversation, starting to boast about Zhou Siyu’s progress prize, "Not only is Siyu thoughtful, but she also does well in school. Their school has now introduced a progress prize. Almost a hundred students in the class, and only my Siyu got the prize."

In reality, there were only around forty students in the class, but in Zhou Lanfang’s mouth, it became almost a hundred.

"Progress prize?"

"What is that prize?"

"I’ve heard of certificates of achievement, but this is my first time hearing about a progress prize."

Everyone found it curious, losing interest in the TV show and gathering around Zhou Lanfang to ask about it.

In the eighties, not many students went to school, especially those attending middle school and above. In a village, there would only be a few students. Take the Zhao Family Village, for instance, where there were only three or four middle school students.

Two others, one in the first year and another in the second year of middle school, Shen Mianmian and Zhou Siyu, were the only sisters in the village both in the third year of middle school.

Thus, not many were aware of the progress prize.

"You don’t know about this, huh? The school set this up to encourage students to study harder. They give it to the student who has made the most progress, with a reward of three yuan."

She made it clear, "Nearly a hundred students in a class, and only one progress prize spot."

"Three yuan?"

"One out of a hundred students? That’s one in a hundred!"
