Transmigration: From Dragon Princess To Pampered Granddaughter
Chapter 477 - 478: Reward of Ten Dollars

Chapter 477: Chapter 478: Reward of Ten Dollars

Once everyone had arrived, Zhao Mancao stepped up on the stage and started to address the crowd through a loudspeaker in his usual long, drawn-out manner. Everyone listened, bored and yawning yawningly.

Ma Xiulian was so anxious that she could hardly contain herself, thinking: Hurry up and finish your irrelevant talk, and start discussing the reward for Guibao!

Perhaps Zhao Mancao had heard her thoughts, for he paused and finally said, "Fellow villagers, there’s another matter to announce today: the achievement of our commune school. Both Guibao and Tingyun have excelled academically, scoring full marks in their end-of-term examinations, andequalling each other for first place in the entire grade. Let us give them a round of applause!"

With that, he began to applaud himself.

Although everyone already knew about it, they respectfully joined the applause as a courtesy.

Helian Qiao stood tall, her chest held high, basking in everyone’s attention.

Wherever she went, she always stood out!

Gu Tingyun’s expression remained unperturbed, perfectly embodying an aura of indifference to both praise and criticism.

Ma Xiulian was extremely happy, her smile wider than if she had been the one being rewarded.

Chen Jianjun had a proud look on his face: This was his daughter!

The rest of the Chen family also had expressions of vicarious glory.

Zhao Mei was holding Yuanbao, hoping that when her son grew up to attend school, he too could bring such honor to the Chen family.

Zhou Zhaodi was smug: This was her niece!

As for her own two children, she didn’t even want to think about them—it just made her angry.

It was normal for them to be inferior to Guibao, but even Dani and Sanni, who had to work at home after school, had performed better than them in the examination!

It appeared they needed more disciplining!

Liu Lanzhi now understood evermore why her parents-in-law favored her little niece so much.

Guibao was pale and pretty plus smart, obedient, and sensible. She brought honor to the Chen family.

Put aside the old couple, even she loved her more than she could describe!

Looking at her son and daughter in her arms, she hoped that when they grew up, they would be as smart, adorable, charming, and sensible as Guibao.

At this moment, Chen Jianye began to regret his earlier decision. If he hadn’t let Guibao be adopted by his younger brother, wouldn’t the honor be his today?

A hint of disdain flashed in Li Chunhua’s eyes. If only her Xiaobao went to school too, he would surely be among the ones being acclaimed!

Moreover, she suspected that that girl got full marks by cheating off Tingyun’s paper!

Zhao Mancao raised his hand to calm the crowd. The applause gradually subsided, and he continued, "Therefore, the commune has decided to award them with a bonus of ten yuan each!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd erupted in a clamor of shocked comments, all buzzing with the news.

"Oh my God! Did I mishear? He said they are awarding ten yuan!"

"Ten yuan! That’s a whole month’s worth of labor points!"

"Just for writing down a few characters, one can easily earn ten yuan. Money comes easily indeed!"

The Chen family was momentarily stunned, having never expected that such small children could earn such a large sum of money from studying.

Their envy for the fourth brother grew even stronger, who got such a fantastic daughter without any effort.

It took them an entire month of back-breaking labor to earn just over ten yuan. But Guibao earned ten yuan simply by taking an exam!

Li Zhiqing, hearing everyone’s discussions, was very satisfied with the result. This was exactly the effect he had been aiming for.

After everyone had their say, Zhao Mancao spoke again: "Settle down, everyone! Now, we invite Guibao and Tingyun onstage to receive their awards."

Under the envious gazes of the crowd, Helian Qiao and Gu Tingyun walked up onto the stage, heads held high, full of pride and confidence.

She was the best at everything she did!

Li Zhiqing took pleasure in Helian Qiao’s fearlessness. Despite being onstage, she displayed a face full of pride, and he admired her vibrant self-confidence.

Looking at Gu Tingyun, who was standing next to her, his face was stern and handsome, suggesting the calm and collected demeanor of a general.

Both are impressive!
