Tan You doesn't focus on money either, she is also very busy. In addition to taking care of homework, I also have to tidy up the house. Han Cunming fell silent as he watched Tan You fussing about washing the sheets and quilt covers.
The next day, there was a semi-automatic washing machine in the house. His granddaughter's hands were used for writing. Where could she do such rough work?
Tan You didn't expect the old man's behavior, but he had to say that the washing machine was indeed convenient for him. In less than three days, the Han family's patio was filled with sheets, quilts, and heavy clothes.
At home, the windows that Tan You had tidied up were bright and clean. Although it was still the same old house, it was different from before.
In the morning, Tan You watched the washing machine while doing homework. She has finished her math homework and is now doing physics. Just as she was lost in thought, a voice sounded outside the patio.
"Han Tingting, the fish pond will be divided this afternoon, will you go?"
Tan You looked outside the patio. There were three boys standing there. They were Yang Shun, Han Peng and Han Wei whom she had met before. After Tan You refused to go to school with Yang Shun last time, they didn't talk to each other in the past two months.
Now that Yang Shun actually came to see Han Tingting, Tan You was a little surprised.
"I won't go, I have something else to do." Tan You is a very indifferent person. She doesn't like to hang out with friends or stay with others. She just likes to be alone.
Han Wei still didn't change his mean character: "What can happen to you? Are you still pretending to be a good student?"
Tan You had no intention of saying anything to Han Wei: "I do have something to do. It's enough to share the fish with my grandfather."
Han Cumming watched his granddaughter refuse the boy without any pretense, and then he spoke: "Tingting has something to do at home, and there is no excitement in dividing the fish."
Han Cunming had said so, and the three of them had no choice but to leave Han Cunming's house.
Han Wei was a little angry: "No, why is Han Tingting like this now? Last time I saw she was studying, and she is here now. How good can her grades be now? Isn't she counting down?"
Han Peng was always honest and honest. He didn't say anything and just looked at Yang Shun in confusion.
Han Wei: "You and Han Tingting are in the same school. How many exams did she take in this final exam?"
Yang Shun choked, what did he say? He consciously did not talk about Han Tingting's changes in the village, but he played well with these two people, so he had to talk about them even if he didn't want to.
"She got 430 points in the exam." After a long silence, Yang Shun finally said this.
"Only 430?" Han Wei smiled: "Then why are you pretending to be a good student here? I got 660 in the test this time. Am I proud of it?"
Yang Shun glanced at Han Wei: "She scored 430 in Chinese, Mathematics, and Physics. The school did not count the remaining four minor subjects into the total score, but she scored above 90 in each of them."
"That's almost 800," Han Peng exclaimed, "Her grades are so good now? I haven't even heard from my parents."
Yang Shun: "She didn't tell her, and her grandfather didn't know about it before. He only found out this time when he went to school to hold a parent-teacher conference for her."
Normally, he couldn't say these things to others. Yang Shun had kept these words in his heart for a long time. Now when he asked a little question, he naturally didn't complain: "This time in the final joint examination, the ranking in the city is the main subject score ranking. The class teacher said that she took the ninth place in the city."
"That's amazing," Han Peng sighed from the bottom of his heart: "Last time I saw her, she was also studying."
Han Wei was upset when he heard this. His four major subjects combined scored less than 350. He had always looked down on Han Tingting in the past, so why did he now look down on him?
Yang Shun was also troubled: "My mother went to hold a parent-teacher meeting for me last time. When she heard that Han Tingting did so well in the exam, she was so angry that she couldn't even eat. She kept me reading at home all day long, thinking that if I could surpass Han Tingting, I could Do you want such high scores?"
Han Peng: "It's not surprising that your mother has this idea. Who makes Han Tingting so good now? When did she start learning to become better?"
"We asked her to go fishing last time," Yang Shun said listlessly, "She's acting very strange now."
These three and a half-year-old boys talked so enthusiastically that no one knew that there were ears across the wall. The three of them walked away, arguing, and then an aunt came out from behind the courtyard wall.
She just came to shovel a few vegetables in the garden. Who knew she would hear such a thing?
"Her sister-in-law, let me tell you something. The granddaughter of Han Cunming's family is Tingting. I heard that she ranked ninth in the city this time!"
"Really? No. 9 in the city? That's amazing!"
"Really? Why haven't you heard anyone talk about it?"
"Yang Shun never fucking said that."
"Does she have the nerve to say it? She is most petty. If she says it, does she admit that her son is not as good as Tingting? When it comes to reading, Tingting is still very good. I have never seen her so outstanding before."
"Hey, you are sensible now."
"Isn't that true? My parents and parents are unreliable, so why don't we have to stand up for ourselves?"
Soon, in less than two hours, the news that Han Tingting was ninth in the city spread throughout the village. Tan You, who was making lunch at home, had no idea about all this. She was busy frying meatballs, so how could she have time to pay attention to anything else?
Cheng Wenhui makes fried meatballs every New Year. This is the time of the year that Tan You looks forward to the most. Now that he is in such a world, Tan You just wants to fry a plate of meatballs, which can be regarded as telling himself that the Chinese New Year is almost here.
Han Cunming leaned in front of the stove to light the fire, as comfortable as an old cat. By the way, my granddaughter is really free of worries now. She studies well, takes care of herself at home and outside, and does everything in an orderly manner.
Picking up a meatball, Han Cumming squinted his eyes with satisfaction: "This is suitable for some wine."
Tan You: "I bought you a bottle. Drink it tonight. I'll cook two more dishes tonight."
"Okay," Han Cunming said happily, "I'm just waiting for my granddaughter's filial piety."
After lunch, Han Cunming walked to the fish pond. Along the way, people asked him about Han Tingting's grades from time to time. Han Cunming was confused for a moment, and there was nothing he couldn't say.
He wasn't exaggerating, he was telling the truth. He answered whatever was asked, and soon everyone knew that the news was true.
"Uncle Cunming will be blessed in the future. How capable is Tingting now?" Rural people seem to praise their children in terms of ability. But after careful consideration, I always feel that this word sounds a bit strange.
Han Cunming squinted: "Indeed...it's really good, very neat."
Thinking of what the landlady had told him before, he should praise Han Tingting more and not let her be deceived by people outside with just a few words. Han Cunming's modesty changed when he spoke about it. Only if his own family values him, others will value him.
After Han Cunming went to the fish pond, Tan You continued to study step by step. What else can students do if they don't study? No one dares to ask for a part-time job.
And reading is really the only way for children from poor families to change their lives. Thinking of these, suppressing the restlessness in his heart to go out and play, Tan You turned over another page of exercises.
