Chapter 72 Homework
Xie Chaochao didn’t seem particularly excited, as if she had already expected it.
Some students were reminded of the farce during the examination.
Xie Chaochao had said that she could get first place in the cohort, but they didn’t expect her to actually achieve it. Most importantly, she achieved it even after her examination was delayed!
Everyone’s gaze toward Xie Chaochao changed.
Zhang Xiaohan also said, “I heard from the invigilator about what had happened during the examination. Due to a misunderstanding, it was delayed for a while. However, Xie Chaochao still achieved such excellent results. We should all learn from her!”
IC
Although Zhang Xiaohan thought very highly of Xie Chaochao, she was still very proud that Xie Chaochao had gotten first place in the cohort.
“Sister Chaochao is the best!”
Under Fatty’s hyping, the students in the class shouted in unison. They were so loud that the class next door had heard them.
Xie Chaochao held onto the results slip and quickly ran to the school gate. She pounced on Xie Zhou.
“Daddy!”
Xie Zhou carried his daughter and placed her in the passenger seat before driving home.
On the way, Xie Chaochao took out the result slip as if she was showing off. She showed it to Xie Zhou and no longer had the calmness she had when she was in the classroom.
“Daddy, I got two kinds of first place. The first in our class and the first in our cohort!”
Xie Zhou was even happier. If he wasn’t driving, he would have carried his daughter and spun her around twice.
“My Chaochao is capable. Daddy is proud of
you!”
Xie Chaochao smiled happily. The praises from her classmates couldn’t compare to the praises from her father.
“I want Daddy to always be proud of me!”
When Xie Chaochao reached home, she showed off her result slip to her grandpa and was rewarded with a feast.
After the meal, Xie Chaochao thought of something and was suddenly unhappy. “What’s wrong? Weren’t you very happy just now?”
The old man lied on the lounge chair and asked the little girl beside him.
Xie Chaochao said depressedly, “Grandpa, the teacher left me another assignment and told me to write an essay about protecting the environment. I don’t know how to write it!”
All along, Grandpa was Xie Chaochao’s think tank. He knew everything. As long as she asked Grandpa, he would give her an answer.
In Xie Chaochao’s heart, Grandpa knew everything
When she grew up, she wanted to be like Grandpa. She could solve any problem!
The old man did not tell her what to do. He just guided her step by step, letting her think about it on her own on what to do.
It was the same this time.
He sat up straight and said to Xie Chaochao, “Do you think the environment in our village is good?” “Yes, I like it very much!”
“How so? Give me an example?”
“The river water is very clear and you can drink from it directly. There are trees and flowers on the mountain, it’s very beautiful. There are also many small animals. Some places that are shown on television do not have these things. The environment there is very poor!”
“This is also the reason we want to protect the environment, right? If we don’t protect it, soon, all the flowers and trees here will disappear, and the air will become very bad. There will no longer be clean water in the river, and there will be no place for Chaochao to play!”
“Yes, the last time I went to the village committee with Daddy, Daddy had also mentioned this to the uncles and aunties…”
Xie Chaochao was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly jumped off the lounge chair and shouted with a smile, “Grandpa, I know what to write!”
The old man didn’t ask her about her thoughts. He just smiled and praised her, “Chaochao is really smart. Then, write with the pen. Don’t worry about whether it is good or not. As long as you dare to write, you will do very well!”
Xie Chaochao nodded heavily and jumped into the old man’s arms. “Thank you, Grandpa!”
