Protagonist:

Chai Mi

Although Chai Xiu was already eight years old, due to the family's previously terrible situation, she had not gone to school.

Although Chai Xiu was also very clever and had already recognized some simple characters on her own, and her arithmetic wasn't bad either, in the end she had never attended school, so writing characters was still something she couldn't do.

Hearing her sister talk about her, Chai Xiu couldn't help but lower her head, her face turning red.

Chai Mi glanced sideways at Chai Xiu, thinking that this younger sister of hers was truly shy and timid enough; she just mentioned it casually, and Chai Xiu took it seriously.

She couldn't help but pat Chai Xiu's head: "Go, find those certificates of mine, bring them out, don't tear them up."

Only then did Chai Xiu feel at ease, and she went to a corner of the room where there was a very large cardboard box; inside the box were many comic books and Chai Mi's old textbooks from when she studied, as well as some of Chai Mi's old notes, exercise books, and things like that.

Chai Mi followed along, but didn't lift a hand, simply watching Chai Xiu search for things.

The room's furnishings hadn't changed much, but Chai Mi hadn't touched that box in many, many years, and she had actually forgotten exactly where her old school certificates were placed.

Fortunately, Chai Xiu remembered very clearly; after rummaging a few times, she pulled out a stack of certificates from a black, thick notebook.

Chai Xiu looked through them once, but didn't know which one to pick; she really wasn't clear on which certificate Chai Mi wanted to choose, so she simply handed everything over to Chai Mi in one go.

"Sister, you said you want to give Dad a certificate, will he get angry?" Chai Xiu asked with considerable worry; Dad had just been beaten up by several uncles a few days ago, and now he's exhausted from carrying wood, and today he was stabbed in the back by his own mother... "What if Dad is currently fuming, and I go give him this thing..."

This certificate isn't very harmful, but it's extremely insulting.

Chai Mi held the certificates she'd earned in school, silent, and when she looked closely at the few letters hidden inside, she fell even more silent.

After a good while, Chai Mi picked out a certificate she had once received when the school organized a filial piety activity, washing her parents' feet in the evening after school — a "Filial Piety Little Star" certificate.

Chai Mi shook her head somewhat awkwardly: "This one suits him best."

Chai Mi had Chai Xiu find a writing brush; since she had practiced brush calligraphy before, Chai Mi wasn't rusty at writing with it.

She simply took the awardee Chai Mi, added a few characters, and changed it to Chai Mi's father, classmate Chai Youqing...

"Come, Xiu'er. I'll read it once for you." Chai Mi said happily: "In view of classmate Chai Youqing, father of Chai Mi, respecting his parents at home, honoring his elders, receiving high praise from teachers, and deeply moving his parents, the title of Filial Piety Little Star is specially conferred upon classmate Chai Youqing, father of Chai Mi, to commend this noble behavior of classmate Chai Youqing, father of Chai Mi..."

After Chai Mi finished reading, she instructed Chai Xiu: "Xiu'er, your voice is loud and clear, your emotion high; do you know what 'reading with feeling' means? It's reading with your emotion..."

Although Chai Xiu was worried and afraid of trouble, she also knew that once Chai Mi said something, not even nine horses could pull her back, but she still said awkwardly: "Sister, me... can I do it? Won't Dad beat me up?"

"He can't, you're only eight, exactly the age of not knowing better; why would he beat you?" Chai Mi said in a low voice, smiling: "Dad's temper is just like that; he only has the share of being beaten... Besides, you're just going to give him grief; he made the mess himself, and he still doesn't let people talk about it?"
