The Tian family prospered.
"I received it, but I didn't go to the town for a long time. I finished writing and only went to the town to mail it last week. I guess you'll receive it by this weekend? And how did you know I was coming to compete, why are you here?"
"I'm here to compete too! I'm studying right here." Jiang Jun hummed, "You're underestimating people, who would specially come to encourage you? We two are now rivals! However, you're really impressive, actually able to get the top three in town!"
Tian Wei raised an eyebrow. The kids from the county town were indeed privileged. For example, she was a child from a mountain village and had to go through the selection of the town's competition first, but the children from the county town didn't need to, they could directly participate in today's competition, and there were more places available for them than for each town.
"See, you underestimated me too! I was the top student in my town's lower grades!" Tian Yuan smiled and saw Jiang Hongcai getting out of the car, hurriedly greeting him politely, "Uncle Jiang, long time no see, Uncle Jiang is well!"
"Great! Great! Yanyan, I'm so surprised, you're here too! I didn't expect you to make progress so quickly, Uncle is proud of you!" Jiang Hongcai was initially a bit surprised, his own son had always been arrogant since he was young due to the good family conditions, and never took the initiative to greet his classmates. This time it was different, Jiang Jun jumped off the bus, thinking he had met someone else.
It turned out to be Tian Wei, this old friend. Jiang Hongcai thought, this kid has made great progress, he just heard that she was the first in the lower grades of the town.
"Yuan Yuan, from now on you and Jiang Jun are rivals! You've always wanted to compare who's better, right? This is a great opportunity, so both of you must work hard! Study well, don't be nervous, Uncle will cheer for you!" Jiang Hongcai looked at Jiang Jun, "You little brat, go for it, don't let Yuan Yuan sister surpass you!"
"He's both an opponent and a friend, it's okay, even if Jiang Jun loses, our friendship is still there, this match, friendship comes first!" Tian Yuankuo smiled and patted Jiang Jun, with a reassuring face, "If you fall behind, don't worry, I as a friend won't abandon you."
"What's 'ming luo sun shan'?" Jiang Jun raised his head and looked at Jiang Hongcai with a complaint, "Yuan Yuan, your words are all unfamiliar terms that I've never heard of, where did you learn them from?"
"It's from a book, you know? 'Name fallen to Sun Mountain' means losing the title, got it? This explanation is concise enough, right?" Tian Yuan straightened up with a smile, but fourth-graders still can't learn phrases like "name fallen to Sun Mountain" that carry stories and meanings.
A few people stood and talked for a while before entering the school to take the exam. This time, however, they were all from the entire county town, so it was impossible not to be nervous, but Tian Yuan still knew how to adjust her mentality.
In her past life, Tian Biao had established the company and seen all sorts of grand scenes, so compared to those, this exam was truly a trivial matter. However, she had never felt as happy as she did now.
It's really delightful, she believes that as long as she wins an award in this county-level competition, her life will be rewritten from this moment on!
When she returned home from the county town, it seemed that her family had been specially instructed not to ask Tian Yuan how her exams went, probably because they were afraid of putting too much pressure on her.
At this time, Tian Jia's attitude towards Tian Yuan in this match was just like the 21st-century parents' attitude towards their children taking the college entrance examination - anxious and tense.
No one asked, Tianyuan didn't say either, she was confident and knew it herself, this county-level competition wasn't like the town's where results came out quickly, she could relax for a while.
Tian Juan finished the exam, and the villagers didn't pay much attention to it. Everyone only cared about the results, so no one paid attention to the process. However, Tian's family matters were not going to be settled by the villagers' gossip.
