Chapter 476: Chapter 477: Going on Stage to Collect the Prize Money

The other three houses witnessed the scene, each privately surprised and astonished; since their mother-in-law moved away, when did Old Lady Li ever return empty-handed?!

The sun must have risen from the west today!

This is so odd!

"Uncle Chen, Aunt Chen, is Guibao here?" Li Zhiqing’s voice came from outside the house.

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiulian walked out the door to see Li Zhiqing and Zhao Mancao, the head of the Commune Team, standing outside. She hurriedly invited them in: "Teacher Li, Team Leader Zhao, come in and have a seat, is there anything we can assist you with today?"

While walking in, the two said: "We’re here to see Guibao."

After they entered, they happened to see Gu Tingyun as well. Zhao Mancao slapped his hand and said, "Great, the lad from the Gu Family is here, too. We are saved from making another trip."

Guibao raised her little head and asked seriously like a little adult, "Uncle Li, Uncle Zhao, why are you looking for us?"

Gu Tingyun politely greeted the guests and then remained silent.

Ma Xiulian did not disturb her granddaughter’s reception of her own guests, she laughed and went to the kitchen to make tea for the guests.

Seeing this, Zhao Mancao cheerfully said, "Didn’t you two rank first in your school grades? Therefore, the commune and the school have decided to award you with cash prizes at tomorrow’s regular meeting. Remember, the two of you will have to go on stage to receive the money. We came to tell you in advance."

The main reason was that he was worried they were too young and would suffer stage fright when suddenly called upon.

Li Zhiqing, sitting on the side, nodded. He knew that the two little ones were not timid children who would have stage fright, but it was good to give them a heads up.

"Okay" Helian Qiao agreed, as if she was being asked to pick up a piece of paper. There was no emotional fluctuation.

She did not care about the amount of the prize money because the little princess was not interested in money.

However, the little princess did enjoy being the center of attention on Hightai Mountain, so her agreement was quite straightforward.

Gu Tingyun simply responded with a cool "Hmm", he didn’t care whether there was a prize or not. The knowledge acquired is the greatest wealth a person can have.

But Ma Xiulian and Chen Dazhu were completely surprised and delighted. They never expected that studying could earn money!

This was the money Guibao had earned on her own, no matter how small, it was enough for them to show off in the commune!

Chen Jianjun was also delighted, but a little more composed, asking curiously: "Why would the commune give out prize money? There’s no precedent for this."

Li Zhiqing could not help but sigh: "After the autumn harvest, the number of students in the school decreased by more than thirty. I’m afraid the number of children will decrease even more when school starts in the spring. So, we thought of stimulating the people with prize money."

Only when people see that studying can earn money will they be willing to spend money to send their children to school.

Chen Jianjun understood and nodded.

Li Zhiqing then warned: "Don’t mention this matter in advance, it’s better to let people witness it in person!"

"Of course! Of course!"

The Chen family naturally agreed wholeheartedly.

After sending the two away, Ma Xiulian hugged her granddaughter and gave her a big kiss: "Our little genius really brings great honor to her grandma!"

Sitting nearby, Chen Dazhu was also pleased, but he couldn’t help but feel a touch of regret. If Guibao were a boy, it would be even better. She could certainly brighten the lineage of the old Chen family.

The next day, Ma Xiulian dressed her little granddaughter in a newly-made red jacket, which made her little face look even whiter and more adorable. Then she went to the commune’s large dam meeting, trying her best to control her excitement.

On the large dam, many people from the commune had already gathered.
