Chapter 467: Chapter 468: The Best at Everything

He particularly adored the little prodigy Guibao now, believing he might really be able to nurture her into someone accomplished who could contribute to the party and the nation.

The old couple and Chen Jianjun were overjoyed to hear this. They immediately brimmed with smiles and began to praise her, "Guibao is amazing! She scored perfect marks, truly smart and talented!"

If it wasn’t for the meal they were having, they would definitely shower Guibao with kisses.

Even though Guibao usually scores perfect marks on quizzes and exams, the meaning of the final examination is indeed different.

Helian Qiao held her petite chin high, proud and confident, she is the best at everything she does!

Li Zhiqing joked, "I still have to report these to other parents, you guys continue eating."

He could understand the feelings of the Chen family. As soon as the examination ended, he began marking Guibao’s and Gu Tingyun’s papers and felt both excitement and satisfaction upon finding all the answers correct.

"Take care, Teacher Li. Thank you for making the trip. It must’ve been exhausting."

After seeing him to the gate, Ma Xiulian was beaming so broadly that her eyes crinkled: "Guibao, whatever you want to eat tonight, Grandma will make it for you!"

Chen Jianjun said grandly, " Whatever Guibao wants, Dad will buy it for you!"

He wished he could present the best things in the world to his little girl.

Chen Dazhu was thrilled, Guibao truly was a treasure bestowed by Heaven, bringing honor to the Chen Family!

Helian Qiao candidly said, "I want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs! I don’t really want to buy anything."

"Alright, alright, Grandma will make you sweet and sour pork ribs!" Ma Xiulian happily agreed.

She even decided to invite all the folks in the old house, including the Gu Family, to celebrate with a dinner party.

Last week, Guibao and Zhou Zhaodi fetched a bucket full of fish from the reservoir. There were also two wild chickens caught by Dabai, as well as some pork that was just allocated by the commune. These three meat dishes would be more than enough.

That afternoon, while she was working in the fields with her hoe, she mentioned this to Zhou Zhaodi who was working alongside her, to spare herself an extra journey later.

"Zhou Zhaodi, when you go home, tell everyone to come to our house for dinner tonight. At noon today, Teacher Li came to our house and told us that Guibao scored full marks in her exam. She’s tied with Gu Tingyun for first place in the grade! We should have a family dinner and celebrate for Guibao."

"Our Guibao is truly a smart little prodigy!" Zhou Zhaodi was so happy upon hearing this that she offered to help cook dinner.

It was puzzling how Dabao and Erbao, raised on the same rice and noodles, could not break free from merely passing their exams.

Ma Xiulian wasn’t deliberately speaking quietly, so others in the field overheard their conversation and started singing praises too.

"Lady Chen, you are truly blessed to have such a smart and diligent granddaughter."

"Indeed, my grandson told me that Teacher Li always praises Guibao’s intelligence in class."

"If only my boy was half as smart as Guibao!"

...

Some were bitter and dismissive, like Old Mrs. Song, who kept moving her hands while she muttered, "What good is it for a girl to be good at studies? She can’t carry on the family name anyway!"

She didn’t dare to voice it out loud, for fear of offending Ma Xiulian who cherished her granddaughter enormously.

However, inside, she envied Ma Xiulian for having a successful son like Chen Jianjun who invited her to become a worker and earn good money.

Why couldn’t she have a son who could also become a worker and be part of the state direct-supply system?

In the afternoon, all the folks from the Chen Family arrived. As soon as they stepped into the door, they instinctively paused, their eyes sparkling as they surveyed the house.
