Zhou Xiaoyun’s Happy Life

Chapter 97 Three Good Students

 The weather is gradually getting hotter, and Xingwang Primary School is becoming lively. A bunch of workers were coming in and out.

 Children like to go to the open space of the playground to watch the excitement after class. The school is about to build a teaching building. It is expected that the three-story teaching building will have new classrooms as soon as the next semester starts in September. How can the children not be happy about it?

I heard that starting from next semester, students from two or three junior primary schools will come to Xingwang Primary School to attend the fourth and fifth grades!

The so-called junior primary school, that is, an elementary school with only grades one to three. Several full-fledged primary schools in nearby villages have been cut down. Only Xingwang Primary School is a full primary school, and the other three will become junior primary schools. Students in fourth and fifth grade will have to come here to attend school.

The classrooms were obviously not enough, so the County Education Bureau specially allocated funds to build a new teaching building in Xingwang Primary School. I also heard that some new teachers will be assigned.

Principal Qiao was in a surprisingly good mood and wandered around the playground all day. The school is growing in size, and there are more and more students. The classrooms are getting higher and higher, and the teaching conditions are getting better and better. It is a great honor to be the principal.

Teachers are also optimistic about this change. The dilapidated classrooms have been in use for many years. Some classrooms still leak even on rainy days. Students cannot study in dark classrooms because the conditions are too poor.

 Think about it, when the new teaching building is built, there will be new blackboards, new desks and stools, and new lights. Everything is new and good. How wonderful!

  Listening to the ping-ping-pong-pong sound of building walls, it is estimated that not many students can listen to the class. Even the teacher will occasionally be attracted by the sound during class, let alone the students.

 Finally, they made it to the end of the final exam. Zhou Xiaoyun and Xiaobao went home happily after receiving their family report, summer homework, and certificates of excellence.

Xiaobao is very up to date. He scored over 90 points in both subjects and is considered to be among the top in the class. He came back with Zhang Dada's certificate of "Three Good Students" and proudly presented it to Zhou Guoqiang and Zhao Yuzhen.

Zhao Yuzhen deliberately praised Xiaobao a few words and put the certificate of award on Xiaobao's bedside.

As for Zhou Xiaoyun, no one has asked her if she has received the certificate. That is not a sure thing!

There are already six certificates posted in a row on the wall. Zhou Xiaoyun will be quite satisfied with himself after admiring them. I still got full marks in math, but I got 99 points for Chinese because I accidentally wrote a wrong word.

Dabao is very jealous of Xiaobao's certificates. It is common for Zhou Xiaoyun to get certificates. Dabao has stopped competing with Zhou Xiaoyun for a long time, but why can Xiaobao, who has just entered the first grade, get a certificate?

 He will be in fifth grade in the second half of the year, but he has never received a certificate!

Dabao stood in front of Xiaobao's bed and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the yellow paper was very annoying. However, Xiaobao didn't know how to show it off: "Brother, look at how beautiful my certificate is!"

Dabao said disdainfully: "It's just a piece of yellow paper, and it only costs ten cents a piece in the mall!"

“But if you bought it for a dime and it doesn’t have a seal from the school, it’s not a certificate! My teacher gave this to me, so it has a different meaning! Look, you’re in fourth grade and you’ve never won it once!”

Xiaobao's words completely hit Dabao's pain, and Dabao jumped up: "Try saying that again, do you believe I will beat you?"

 Of course I believe it!

When Xiaobao saw his brother who was a head taller than him, he became furious and became timid. He quickly called for help: "Sister, my brother is going to hit someone! Come quickly!"

Zhou Xiaoyun arrived as soon as she heard the sound, and less than ten seconds passed. I really wonder if she had guessed that the brothers would have a dispute: "Brother, what do you want to do?"

As soon as Dabao saw Zhou Xiaoyun, he immediately retracted the fist that was about to fall on Xiaobao and put it behind his back, forcing a smile: "It's nothing, Xiaobao and I were joking. I didn't want to beat him."

 There is no three hundred taels of silver here!

Zhou Xiaoyun rolled his eyes at Dabao and led Xiaobao out.

Xiao Bao also had a bad temper, so he turned his head and stuck out his tongue at Dabao, winking and making a face to show his pride.

Dabao was so angry that he vowed to beat Xiaobao behind his back. Yes, just when Zhou Xiaoyun is not at home.

 As for when Zhou Xiaoyun is at home, let’s forget about letting him go for the time being.

Dabao didn’t realize much that apart from his father Zhou Guoqiang’s fists, he was afraid of Zhou Xiaoyun’s scolding at home. Although he said a few words without any pain, for some reason Dabao immediately became shorter in front of Zhou Xiaoyun.

 Speaking of his mother Zhao Yuzhen’s nagging, he also didn’t take it to heart.

 Is it because Zhou Xiaoyun is a small rich man who often buys food and supplies for him, so he is afraid of her?

 Or is it because Zhou Xiaoyun has the aura of a sister who rolls her eyes and is particularly awe-inspiring?

Or is it that Zhou Xiaoyun easily opens his mouth without saying a word and speaks like a sharp sword that pierces people's hearts?

Anyway, Dabao's voice softened as soon as he saw Zhou Xiaoyun's stern face, and he began to reflect on whether he had made a mistake again!

Dabao is often determined to boost his brother's prestige and make his younger brothers and sisters listen to him. No, I started to secretly make up my mind again: I'll beat Xiaobao first in the afternoon when my parents are not around, and then I'll give Daya a lesson so that she understands that she is the boss, hahahaha...

Dabao burst out laughing thinking about his success!

“Brother, sister said she wants to buy jelly for us to eat!” Xiaobao rushed to report the good news.

What? Dabao immediately became energetic and ran out with Xiaobao without saying a word as soon as he heard that there was food. As for what I was thinking about just now, don’t worry, wait until you eat the jelly!

The jelly seller was pushing a wheelbarrow to sell jelly. He would stop the cart when someone called him to stop.

 A whole basin of jelly was covered under a thin white gauze.

The jelly is placed in water to keep it cool, and is cut into small pieces with a knife in advance.

The light brown jelly is cut into long thin strips and placed at the bottom of the bowl. It is mixed with a seasoning made of soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil and garlic. It is cool and delicious and is the best snack in summer.

Hand a large bowl and finish it in a few mouthfuls.

 Two cents a bowl, Dabao must eat at least two bowls! Today, Zhou Xiaoyun knew that he was a little angry and specially treated him to three bowls of food. Dabao had long forgotten that anger.

Zhou Xiaoyun herself also loves to eat, but she only ate one bowl and that was enough. Xiaobao and Erya also had a bowl, and Zhou Xiaoyun paid for it as a matter of course. Who made her rich? Anyway, it has become a habit for Zhou Xiaoyun to pay bills among siblings.

 Just after the holiday, Zhao Yuzhen reminded: "Da Ya, you should still set up a tea stall this summer vacation!"

She has not forgotten that last summer, Daya's business was very prosperous and she made three to four hundred yuan. She only handed over one hundred yuan to Zhao Yuzhen. Who doesn’t want to make money?

Of course we have to put them up. Nowadays, there are food markets every day, so shouldn’t tea stalls be available every day?

How much money will you make?

Zhou Xiaoyun is excited just thinking about it. Who would think that there is too much money? Let’s not be exempt from vulgarity. We are just vulgar people, so let’s start making money!
