Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Niu Chunsheng drove a small sedan, carrying Wang Xiaohua, Wang Xiaoqian, Niu Linxin, and Lin Xiaofang together to Huangsheng Hotel.

On the way, Lin Xiaofang, sitting in the passenger seat, couldn't help but sigh:

"681 points—what kind of score is that? It seems that in all these years of the college entrance exam in our county, no one has ever scored this high, right? I wish Lin Xin could have this score."

"Mom, stop thinking about it. Impossible. Even if the sun rose in the west, it would still be impossible. The Creator is fair; Brother Xiaohua sacrificed his looks and height to gain this extraordinary intelligence."

Niu Linxin was carefree and only felt happy about being able to go out for a big meal.

"Lin Xin, you wouldn't say you sacrificed your intelligence to get your current looks and height, would you?" Wang Xiaoqian teased with a laugh.

But it must be admitted that Niu Linxin was indeed exceptionally striking.

She was only fourteen years old, standing at 1.65 meters tall, with a melon-seed-shaped face.

Most importantly, her figure was extremely slender; without exaggeration, her two legs were like two chopsticks.

At a glance, she was a beauty in the making.

Once she matured, she would definitely be stunning.

"If you put it that way, there is indeed a little bit of truth to it. I admit my intelligence isn't as high as Brother Xiaohua's, but compared to you, Wang Xiaoqian, I can still easily crush you."

Niu Linxin rolled her eyes.

"We're half a catty eight taels each; don't insult each other," Wang Xiaoqian replied with a laugh.

"Xiao Hua, how did you study from childhood to adulthood? Did you ever attend tutoring classes?" Niu Chunsheng, who was driving, asked at this moment.

Wang Xiaohua smiled politely and answered honestly:

"For a while, I really wanted to attend cram classes to tutor English, but our family conditions were limited, so I couldn't make it happen in the end. As for how I studied, it's actually not much different from other classmates in the class—just thoroughly understand every knowledge point, then do practice problems."

Niu Chunsheng glanced at Niu Linxin through the rearview mirror:

"Lin Xin, did you hear that? Your Brother Xiaohua's study method is worth learning from."

Niu Linxin looked impatient:

"Heard it, heard it. Why aren't we at the hotel yet? Is this road really that long?"

Seeing Niu Linxin's distracted look, Niu Chunsheng couldn't help but get angry:

"You child, everything is fine except you don't put your heart into studying. For your studies, I've worried myself sick. Can't you win some honor for your dad?"

Niu Linxin became even more impatient:

"Enough already, I'm so annoyed. If you keep saying this, I won't go eat with you."

Niu Chunsheng could only smile bitterly and stopped speaking.

He had spoiled this daughter rotten since she was young.

"Xiaoqian, did you bring your mobile phone?" Wang Xiaohua suddenly remembered his promise to Li Jianjia last night, so he hurriedly asked Wang Xiaoqian for her phone: "Let me use your phone for a bit."

Wang Xiaoqian said:

"I didn't bring it today. I planned to focus on studying with you, so I left my phone at home. If I brought it, I'd definitely keep sneaking glances at it."

"Alright, alright." Wang Xiaohua sighed.

Niu Chunsheng suddenly stopped the car, unfastened his seatbelt, and got out.

"Uncle Chunsheng, where are you going?"

Wang Xiaohua didn't understand.

"You all wait in the car. I'll be back soon!"

Niu Chunsheng trotted toward a mall nearby.

"Dad is in such a hurry, what is he going to do?" Even Niu Linxin didn't know what Niu Chunsheng was going to do, and asked her mom.

"Who knows? Maybe he suddenly needed to pee and went to the mall's toilet?" Lin Xiaofang said.

She was still thinking about Wang Xiaohua's college entrance exam score.

She really couldn't understand why Wang Xiaohua could score so high.

Wang Xiaohua's family was so poor, and his parents were illiterates who hadn't even finished high school. Their life wasn't very harmonious either, and they couldn't give him much love.

By rights, his family should have been a resistant environment for him.

Growing up in such a family, how could he still study so well?

Shouldn't he be like other rural children, dropping out of high school to work in a factory? Or even if he finished high school, he couldn't get into a good university and would still end up working in a factory!

Then she thought of her own daughter. From childhood to adulthood, she had given her the best conditions, the best environment, no lack of money, no lack of material things, no lack of love. By rights, shouldn't she grow up well? Why was her studying so poor?

Now the state's policy had expanded high school enrollment, but whether Niu Linxin could successfully get into high school with her current grades was still unknown.

Comparing people to people can make you die of anger.

Wang Xiaohua was like bearing the largest fruit from the poorest soil.

And her daughter Niu Linxin was like being planted in the fattest soil, even with her own greenhouse, yet whether she could bear fruit was still uncertain.

Lin Xiaofang was thinking exactly this.

At this moment, Niu Chunsheng returned from the mall.

"Xiao Hua, here, this is Uncle's gift to you!"

It turned out Niu Chunsheng had bought a new mobile phone back.

And it was the latest model Apple phone.

Seeing this, Wang Xiaohua was immediately surprised and hurriedly refused:

"Uncle Chunsheng, how can I accept this?"

Niu Chunsheng, however, said enthusiastically:

"Don't stand on ceremony with me. If you keep being so polite, you're treating me like an outsider. You scored this high, so Uncle giving you a mobile phone is a reward for you."

Niu Linxin pouted her little mouth:

"Dad, why don't you buy one for me too? I've been using this mobile phone for over a year already!"

Niu Chunsheng chuckled:

"When you test into high school, not only will I buy you a mobile phone, I'll also buy you an Apple tablet. It just depends on whether you have the ability."

Niu Linxin, however, complained:

"That's more than a year away! I have to wait that long?"

Then she bargained:

"How about this: after Xiao Hua ge finishes tutoring me this summer vacation, you test me. As long as I pass your assessment, you buy me a mobile phone, okay?"

Niu Chunsheng chuckled:

"Sure, just afraid you won't pass the assessment!"

As long as his daughter had the motivation to study, Niu Chunsheng felt that giving her such a promise also counted as a good thing.

Wang Xiaohua on the side had long since seen through Niu Linxin's little scheme.

This little girl, she was probably thinking that when the time came she'd give Wang Xiaohua a heads-up in advance, have Wang Xiaohua make the assessment questions a bit simpler, and then muddle through in front of her dad.

Wang Xiaohua felt a mix of amusement and exasperation. Niu Linxin actually wasn't stupid; she just used her cleverness in the wrong places.

"Uncle Chunsheng, I really can't accept your mobile phone. No merit, no reward."

Wang Xiaohua at this time handed the mobile phone back to Niu Chunsheng.

He understood what Niu Chunsheng was thinking. He actually really wanted a mobile phone too. After high school graduation, there were many places to use a mobile phone; not having one was very inconvenient.

But he didn't want to owe Niu Chunsheng a favor, especially after observing the change in Lin Xiaofang's expression.

"Take it, take it. Don't stand on ceremony with me. Just treat it as payment for tutoring my daughter!"

Niu Chunsheng was very enthusiastic.

Wang Xiaohua, however, directly passed the mobile phone to Niu Linxin:

"How about this mobile phone goes to Lin Xin? I can tell she really likes this mobile phone!"

Niu Linxin immediately accepted it without a shred of politeness, her face showing delight:

"Thank you, Xiao Hua ge. Xiao Hua ge, you're the best person, even better than my dad!"
