Chapter 29: The Shocked Da Bao (Part 1)

  Dabao arrived home early with two exam papers in hand. He scored over 70 points in Chinese and over 80 points in math.

  Dabao feels that he has made great progress compared to when he was in first grade. To know that in the first grade, he almost didn't pass and had to repeat a year, this year he got such a high score, Dabao felt very good about himself, so he refused to go out and play with Shi Tou and others, but instead took his test paper back home.

  Father Zhou looked at the test paper and scored it. He praised Dabao for his progress, and Dabao was elated by the praise.

  Dabao went over to Zhao Yuzhen, who was cooking: "Mom, come and take a look at my test paper. I did much better this time than last semester. Come and see!"

  Zhao Yuzhen was busy running around, thinking of not paying attention to him but couldn't resist Da Bao's persistence, so she had to put down the things in her hands and come over to look at the test paper. After looking at it, she also praised Da Bao: "Da Bao has made great progress now, much better than last time's exam. You must study hard and continue to work hard in the future."

  Dà bǎo dé yì de xiào le, shéi bù xǐ huān bèi kuā bèi biǎo yáng ne?

  Translation:

  The treasure was delighted and laughed. Who doesn't like being praised and commended?

  The little treasure who can't read also came over to join in the fun and insisted on taking a look at the big treasure's test paper. The big treasure proudly waved his hand at the little treasure: "You can't even recognize characters, what do you know? Do you know how much this is?"

  He pointed at the big red number on the math test paper: "This is eighty-three, representing that I scored eighty-three points, do you understand?"

  Xiao Bao got angry after being scolded by Da Bao and walked away with a pout.

  At this time, Zhou Xiaoyun happened to come back.

  Dabao excitedly brought over his test paper to show off: "Da Ya, come quick and look at my test paper. I got 75 in language and 83 in math."

  Zhou Xiaoyun saw Da Bao so happy and praised him a few words, saying that it's good for Da Bao to care about his studies. He's not stupid, he just likes to have fun too much, eighty percent of his thoughts are spent on playing, if only he put a bit more effort into studying, he wouldn't have stopped going to school in the second year of junior high.

  Dabao was very pleased with his test results today, and suddenly thought of Daxia: "Daxia, you're in first grade too. Where's your test paper? Why don't you show it to Daddy and Mommy?"

  Zhou Xiaoyun didn't want to dampen Da Bao's enthusiasm, so she responded vaguely and then went to help Zhao Yuzhen with some things.

  Dabao thought that Daliao must not have done well on the exam and didn't dare to show her test paper to her family. Thinking about it, who can learn well when they first start school? Daliao is no exception. Looking at her being silent all day, her studies are probably not as good as his.

  Dabao took advantage of Zhou Xiaoyun's inattention and snatched the school bag from her hand, then flipped out Zhou Xiaoyun's test paper.

  Zhou Xiaoyun was caught off guard and had her school bag snatched away by Dabao. By the time she came to, Dabao had already opened the test paper. Unable to stop him, Zhou Xiaoyun thought helplessly: "Dabao, it looks like your excitement ends here."

  Two neatly written test papers were covered with red hooks, and a big 100 seemed to be mocking Dabao.

  Dabao was stunned and disbelieving, his eyes wide with shock. The fall in his heart was too great, and for a moment he couldn't react.

  Zhou's father had seen Dabao playing with his sister earlier, but hadn't paid much attention. However, when he saw Dabao staring blankly at Zhou Xiaoyun's test paper in his hand, he became curious and walked over to take a look at the test paper in Dabao's hand.

  At first glance, Zhou's father was also very surprised and hurriedly called Zhao Yu Zhen over.

  Zhao Yuzhen looked at the scores and was also shocked: "Dà jiě, you scored 100 points in both subjects."

  Usually, they had never paid attention to Zhou Xiaoyun's studies, so her parents didn't know how well she was doing. Now that they saw their daughter did so well on the exam, they were all very happy.

  Zhou Xiaoyun was actually quite happy, from childhood to adulthood she had never scored a hundred points. However, for someone approaching thirty years old, if they couldn't even do well on a first-grade test, it would be too embarrassing.

  At that time, the school taught relatively superficial things, purely book knowledge, unlike later schools which also had Olympiad mathematics and other subjects. Zhou Xiaoyun listened carefully in school every day, reviewed and previewed at home, and there were no bad grades.

  So Zhou Xiaoyun didn't show her delight on her face, she just lowered her head and smiled slightly.

  Xiao Bao finally understood this time: "Sister is so awesome, she got a perfect score. Brother, is your 83 as good as sister's?"

  The big treasure was already somewhat unbearable, and being said by the little treasure made him even more furious, wanting to go beat up the little treasure.

  Unintentionally provoking his older brother, Xiaobao didn't know why his brother wanted to hit him and hastily hid behind their parents for protection.

  Zhou's father frowned and scolded Da Bao severely:

  "How can you, as an older brother, always bully your younger brother? You're already 9 years old and will be turning 10 after the new year. You should know better! Look at your sister, she's three years younger than you but is much stronger. Da Ya is so good to her siblings and even helps mom with chores. But you, not only do you not play with your brother, but you also constantly bully him. Are you acting like a big brother? Da Ya has such great grades, you should learn from her! Did you hear me?"

  Dabao heard his father praising Daxia everywhere and scolding himself, feeling greatly hurt, not daring to talk back but unable to hold down the anger in his heart, so he ran out of the house.

  This made Zhou's father furious, he chased after them, it seems that Da Bao is going to get a good beating again.

  "Father, I'll go and bring back brother."

  Before Father Zhou could speak, he ran out to chase after Da Bao.

  Zhou's father was very relieved about Zhou Xiaoyun and didn't stop her from going with them. He looked at Da Yu's test paper again and became happy, his daughter was indeed a promising good kid!
