107, Math Competition 2
"Wait!" Zhao Qiuxiang called out to several people, glanced at Tian Meimei with a somewhat flattering tone, smiled at the class teacher and asked, "Class teacher, look, my Meimei's grades aren't bad either, this time she also scored 80 points! Take a look, can you give my Meimei an opportunity too, let her try it out?"
"Ah! Right, right, right!" Wu Yuguang nodded repeatedly in agreement. "You see, Mei Mei was promoted to team leader before Tian Huan, and her previous performance was several times better than Tian Huan's. If Tian Huan can go, then Mei Mei can too! Besides, it's great that the two sisters can go together, they'll have each other's company!"
"Sorry, each school can only send one group, and we teachers have discussed it, and it's more suitable to choose Tianyuan. Her progress is the biggest in the whole school, and she is also our school's most hardworking student." Mr. Li said with a difficult expression, "Otherwise, Meimei should work hard to improve her grades first, and next time there's an opportunity, we'll see then."
"Why just one? Wouldn't reporting another be an extra opportunity? Otherwise, Teacher, take a look and let Tianyuan not go. As the older sister, giving up the opportunity to her younger sister is also acceptable!" Zhao Qiuxiang looked at Tianyuan and said, "Right, Yuanyuan? Meimei is your younger sister, so give in, okay?"
Li Shufen flared up upon hearing this, "Why should I let her?! What kind of thing is this that I have to let her have?! Just because your daughter Meimei is younger than my daughter Yuanyuan, does that mean Yuanyuan has to give in on everything?! Is it right for an older sister to be so unfortunate and have nothing?! No way! This can't be allowed!"
"Tan Mei's mother, this quota is set by the higher-ups, it's not something we can change just because you want to. Moreover, who gets chosen is decided by the teachers after discussion. This concerns the school's honor and the county's education honor, it's not something that can be changed just because someone asks. It's not like sharing food, where if an older sister wants some, she'll get some." Principal Li couldn't help but shake his head, then took one child in each hand and headed back to school without saying another word.
Li Shufen saw the old man's sincere attitude and was relieved in her heart, and laughed, "Good news, I have to hurry up and tell Yuanyuan's father, he will definitely be happy when he hears it!"
"Who made Yuyan want to be a sister? Being a sister is just asking for trouble!" Zhao Qiuxiang hastily added, shouting at Li Shufen's back.
"This is the decision of the class teacher, if you are not satisfied, go find the teacher to reason with her. A 200 and an 80, even a fool knows to choose the 200. You don't recognize a single character, what are you doing here causing trouble?!" Tian Ma Chun glared at Zhao Qiu Xiang, then looked towards Wu Yu Gui, "As for Old Three's place, you handle it yourself! Who knows if tomorrow Old Three's wife's family will come to visit, see how you explain things to them! When Old Three returns from the county town, I'll see if he still calls you mom!"
"It's all because of me! Everything is my fault! Who told her to give birth to a daughter, adding another mouth to feed, eating for free?"
"Old Third and his wife have their own hands and feet, now the family is also divided, do you want to raise his daughter for him? You dare say that again! See if I don't send you back, let your natal family take you back!" Tian Maichun had already left, but when he heard Wu Yugui's words, he turned back and shouted loudly before storming off.
Tian Xiangxiang kept staring in Tian Yuan's direction until the teacher took people away, then she turned her head back and muttered to herself, "This Yuan must have eaten some kind of spiritual elixir, just one summer vacation and her grades went up, even the teacher values her so much."
