The next day, Yang Shifeng told Master Qiao what he thought yesterday. Master Qiao agreed with Yan Shifeng and thought that rewards could promote progress. However, he did not agree that Yang Shifeng and Shiyi should pay all the money. Finally, they have come to an agreement that both parties should pay 50% each for the rewards given to the children.
There are two firsts in this exam, one second and the other third. Four children will be rewarded. Yang Shifeng sent four stacks of paper, each containing 20 sheets, enough for one child to write for a long time. Master Qiao paid for four brushes. It is a good reward for a child to have one brush and a stack of paper.
Master Qiao took the reward given to the students into the classroom. The first thing he did was to call the top three students of the exam to the upper platform, and then he gave them the rewards. Facing the children’s confused and surprised eyes, Master Qiao announced: “This is the reward for you, for being in the top three in the exam. In the future, anyone who gets the top three in the exam will be rewarded. By the end of the year, the top three will each have 300 wen.”
Brush, ink, paper, and inkstone are very expensive. Even though most of the children studying at the school have good families, they were still reluctant to buy them these things. This reward isn’t bad, especially since they got a brush and a stack of paper all at once. Having a brush can make other children envious for a long time.
Besides, there is still 300 Wen for the final exam! For adults, 300 wen is a lot of money, not to mention for these children, who have never seen a lot of money, the temptation is amazing.
This time, the children who didn’t get the reward are envious. Many children secretly vowed in their hearts that they would place in the top three in the next exam and receive such a generous prize. The four children who got the reward were pleasantly surprised to open their eyes, which showed uncontrollable excitement.
Xiao Shitou’s deskmate, Leizi, stared at the things in his hand without blinking. His thin hands were shaking slightly. He had a brush and so much paper. He could write about it in the future!
At this moment, the little child also swore in his heart that he would study hard and get first place every time!
This kind of reward-system not only made the children excited, but it also made the elderly in the family excited. They asked their children to study hard, not to play, and strive for rewards. Under the supervision of their parents and their desire for rewards, the children became serious one after another, and the learning atmosphere in the school suddenly became strong.
In such an atmosphere, by the time of the second exam, the children’s scores had improved a lot, and Master Qiao was so happy that his beard was cocked up.
However, when the top three came out. This time, Xiao Shitou, unfortunately, took second place, and the first place was taken by Leizi.
Xiao Shitou was very depressed. His mouth started to pout, and his whole body looked like a wilted plant.
Grandpa Yang felt distressed and patted Xiao Shitou’s little head to comfort him. “You’re just one point worse than him. Next time, you’ll be the first in the exam. “
Xiao Shitou pursed his lips and told the truth dejectedly, “I didn’t get a full score in arithmetic, but Leizi did. And since he got the paper and brush award, he went home to practice his writing. This time he wrote very well. The master gave him a high score, so his score was higher than mine. “
Yang Shifeng said with a smile, “Leizi has been working hard. You see, he didn’t write well last time. This time, he has made progress. You should learn from him and work hard. You can make up for your shortcomings and make progress next time. “
Xiao Shitou shook his fist and nodded heavily, “OK, I will be the first next time!”
However, when the little guy finished talking, he looked at Shiyi sheepishly, or to be exact, at Shiyi’s stomach. He walked to Shiyi with small steps and said in a low voice: “But I promised to be the first in the exam every time. I kept all the books I got for my nephew. This time I have wronged my little nephew.”
Shiyi immediately felt embarrassed. It turned out that the child was still guilty of not getting the reward for his nephew. God knows that his nephew might not want those books. He loves reading and thought his little nephew also loved reading.
Shiyi thinks Xiao Shitou may have misunderstood the little fatty in her stomach.
However, in view of the fact that the little fatty in her stomach will come out soon, Shiyi decided to give him some face and didn’t say how she felt about him. He might not be the type of person who loves reading. She took Xiao Shitou’s hand and put it in her belly and said: “It doesn’t matter. Your little nephew is big-hearted and easygoing. He must be considerate. Don’t worry. He won’t care about these one or two missed promises.”
Xiao Shitou blinked and didn’t believe Shiyi’s words. He still felt guilty.
Seeing this, Shiyi reached out and poked her stomach. She said, against her heart, “Your nephew is really generous. He doesn’t care at all. Look, I call him little fatty every day, but he’s not angry at all.”
As soon as the words were heard, Shiyi was kicked three times in the stomach.
Shiyi:”……” I have never seen a child so talented who can tear down a stage.
Fortunately, Xiao Shitou didn’t see the bulge coming from the little fatty’s kick because of her thick clothes.
Shiyi pretended that she hadn’t been kicked in the stomach, and went on as if nothing had happened: ” Also, when I was angry with your little nephew, I always said that I wouldn’t give him food when he came out, and even said I would beat his ass, but he didn’t get angry with me at all. “
“BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!” Another three kicks again.
Shiyi continued to pretend that nothing was happening.
Xiao Shitou finally believed and reached out to touch Shiyi’s stomach. “Well, my nephew will not be angry with me. I will save books for him next time.”
After seeing that Xiao Shitou believed her lies, Shiyi lowered her head and looked at her stomach. She secretly said: Little fatty, you have to be more open-minded in the future, otherwise I will be bragging for nothing.”.
Yang Shifeng touched his nose and was selectively silent about the fact that his wife was lying with her eyes open.
Xiao Shitou was finally not so depressed anymore, but he felt deeply embarrassed that he didn’t give a reward to his nephew this time. So, he ran into the room like a wind. After a while, he came out with a jar in his arms. He ran to Shiyi and opened the jar in front of everyone. He took out all the candies inside and gave them to Shiyi. “Sister, I don’t have any books for my nephew this time. I’ll give my nephew a treat. This is the candy I saved. It’s very sweet. I’ll give it to my nephew. “
This jar was specially made by Grandpa Yang to fill with snacks. Xiao Shitou cherished this so much. Usually, Shiyi, Yang Shifeng, and Grandpa Yang give him snacks. He is not willing to eat them all at once. Apart from giving them to his good friends, the rest will be stored in a small jar. There is now almost half a jar of candy in this jar. The little guy is so generous that he has to give them all to his nephew.
Shiyi is really embarrassed by Xiao Shitou’s crazily-pampering-my-nephew attitude.
“Xiao Shitou, your nephew is still young and can’t eat. You can eat it by yourself for now. “
Xiao Shitou shoved the candy into Shiyi’s hand. “I know my nephew can’t eat it yet, but he’s about to be born. He can eat it when he comes out. Sister, please keep it for my nephew. “
Shiyi sighed and said earnestly, “Your little nephew can’t eat it. Sister thinks that he’s too fat and I won’t give him candy in the future. So, don’t give him candy, or your little nephew will become very ugly.”
“Ah?” Xiao Shitou hesitated. Xiao Shitou hesitated. Is it possible that in the future, his little nephew can only watch others eat candy? How pathetic would his life be?
Shiyi took the opportunity to put all the candies stuffed by Xiao Shitou back into his jar. “Well, your nephew really doesn’t want to eat it. You can eat it yourself. “
Xiao Shitou looked at his jar and Shiyi’s stomach, and said anxiously, “Sister, will it make my nephew unhappy if you don’t let him eat candy?” Xiao Shitou thinks that his nephew must want to eat candies, but sister just refuses to let him eat them, and my little nephew would probably be unhappy by that time.
Shiyi waved her hand indifferently, “No, no, your little nephew will definitely not be unhappy.” Little Fatty still doesn’t understand anything? Does he know what candy is?
Who knew that just after the words fell, Shiyi’s stomach twitched, and the pain caused her to cover her stomach and scream?
Yang Shifeng was shocked and immediately came forward to hold Shiyi. “What’s the matter? Does it feel uncomfortable in your stomach? “
Shiyi gasped, bared her teeth, and said, “The little fatty is probably dissatisfied because I won’t give him candy. He is so angry that he wants to come out. He’s going to come out. “
