Chapter 16: Uncle from Next Bed 2

  "Little sister, sorry about that. It's all because your uncle and aunt spoiled him. Do you want to try some dumplings made by your aunt?" The young woman looked helpless and could only go over to Tian Yuan and smile as an apology on behalf of her son.

  Tian Wei shook her head, "Thank you, Auntie, no need, I'm not hungry."

  Actually, Tian Wei came to the county town without eating breakfast and was very hungry. However, she knew that Auntie was just being polite when she asked her if she had eaten, and she didn't bring much food with her either.

  The little boy was still making faces at Tian Yuan, who was a bit short of breath and kept comforting herself that she was a grown-up and couldn't be bothered with a child's antics. Calm down, calm down!

  Tian Mu Chun pulled Tian Wei's hand and hugged her, letting her sit on his lap. His face was full of delight. "I didn't expect that our Wei Wei would become so clever all of a sudden. The arithmetic she did just now was really fast. Wei Wei, you said it yourself earlier, from now on you must study hard. You're the older sister, don't let your younger sister surpass you."

  "Grandpa, I promise you that once school starts, I'll study hard every day and strive to get 100% on all my exams!" Tianyuan said with a pout, "And if I do get 100% on all of them, what will you reward me with, Grandpa?"

  "Reward you with two pieces of fruit candy!" Old Master Tian was delighted, laughing "one hundred points for one piece of fruit candy, two hundred points for two pieces of fruit candy. You and your younger brother and sister are all the same, whoever scores a hundred points, bring the test paper to Grandpa here to exchange!"

  "Grandpa, it's really too easy to get 100 points! If I were you, I'd also get 100 points. Do I have candy? Grandpa, let me tell you, I receive an award every year! The 'Three Good Student' award!" The little boy was clearly drawn in by Tian Huan and Tian Mao Chun's conversation, stretching his neck to join in.

  "Oh, you kid!" The young woman tapped her son's head lightly. "When others are talking, what are you interrupting for?"

  This time Tian Yuan rolled her eyes, this kid is too showy! What's the big deal about a certificate of merit? It's not like it's worth anything more than one yuan in a supermarket! Although in her previous life, Tian Yuan had never even touched the edge of a certificate of merit, but when she grew up and saw the various certificates displayed on the learning supplies shelf in the supermarket, her reverence for certificates instantly disappeared.

  I thought this award was a big deal, but it turns out it's just a matter of a few dollars. Although, the grown-up Tian Wei has already developed a nouveau riche mentality and looks down on things that cost only a few dollars.

  However, for those who are mediocre and never get to receive an award certificate, at the end of each year, seeing the top students in the class proudly taking home their certificates makes Tian Yuan feel that the certificates are as unattainable as imperial edicts of old. This feeling is instantly shattered due to a few dollars' worth of cheapness.

  "Wow, you're actually a three-good student!" Tian Ma Chun's face was full of surprise, apparently he had never expected that such an impolite kid would be an excellent three-good student.

  "That's it!" The little boy raised an eyebrow and smiled complacently at Tian Yuan, "Didn't you say you wanted to study hard? Then let's compare with each other from now on. If you lose, you won't be called Yuanyuan anymore, but Bianbian!"

  "You're the one who's flat! Your whole family is flat!" Tian Yuan angrily retorted, "How scary to be uncultured! I'm a noblewoman's 'yuan', not some round and plump 'yuan'!"
