Suddenly, the name Qiao Nan became famous throughout the school, and almost no one knew about Qiao Nan.
Even when Qiao Nan went to the cafeteria for lunch, a boy from the second grade of junior high school stopped in front of Qiao Nan. After saying "I'm sorry", he blushed and ran away, which made Qiao Nan feel strange.
"Hmph." Zhao Yu was furious when he saw that wherever Qiao Nan went, people knew her, as if Qiao Nan was a star in the school.
What's there to be proud of? My grades have dropped so much, and I still care about other people's business.
As a student, academic performance is the most important. Looking at the midterm exam a month later, she will continue to surpass Qiao Nan just like the last test.
All the teachers are so kind to Qiao Nan, isn't it because of Qiao Nan's good academic performance.
As long as she can always do better than Qiao Nan, the teacher will definitely like her and dislike Qiao Nan.
"Zhao Yu, hurry up, the food will be gone if you don't go." Zhao Yu's friend pulled Zhao Yu away: "Why are you standing here in a daze? What are you thinking about?"
"I didn't think about anything. I just felt that the midterm exam is coming up in more than a month. I must do well in it."
"Your grades are quite stable and you have always been among the top five in the class. If Qiao Nan makes the same mistake as last time this time, if you work harder, you might be able to get into the top three in the class." My friend was half concerned and half worried. The words of encouragement were particularly uncomfortable in Zhao Yu's ears.
"Huh, Qiao Nan didn't do well in the exam last time. I don't believe the nonsense that Qiao Nan made a mistake. A step back is a step back. Mistakes can never be so serious. It's easy to regress, but you can make progress after taking a step back. , it won’t be that easy, just wait and see, I’m determined to do better than Qiao Nan!”
Without even looking at his friend's reaction, Zhao Yu left unhappily.
The friend was stunned for a moment, and then got angry: "What happened to me made her angry? She must be sick. Whoever wants to coax whoever wants to coax me, I won't wait for you anymore!"
Qiao Nan, who was self-study, didn't even know that Zhao Yu was already competing with her.
But even if she knew, it didn't matter.
As long as Zhao Yu doesn't get in front of her to cause trouble and keeps his mouth shut, it's Zhao Yu's own business how he studies with all his strength.
In this life, Qiao Nan finally kept the opportunity to study, and everything went smoothly and orderly. However, the situation at Qiao Zijin's place was not so good.
Qiao Zijin didn't have enough money to buy the dance clothes he was interested in, so he scraped here and there and asked people to borrow them, and finally managed to get enough.
Wu Yi's problem was solved, but Qiao Zijin didn't have a clue about the monthly exam.
Two weeks later, when Qiao Zijin came back, he was no longer as sad as he was half a month ago. His face was full of joy and he looked very happy.
"mom."
"Zijin is back." Ding Jiayi, who had just gotten off work, looked tired, but when she saw her favorite eldest daughter, she smiled happily: "Have you had a hard time studying in the past two weeks?"
"It's okay." Qiao Zijin raised his chin and said happily: "Mom, our school had an exam last week. It's called the monthly exam. It's similar to the midterm exam. It's very important."
"Really, how did you do in the exam?" It was the first time that Ding Jiayi heard her eldest daughter take the initiative to mention her academic performance to her. Ding Jiayi felt tired and felt better.
"Mom, I got eighth place in the class this time, eighth place. I guess next time, I can do better." Qiao Zijin proudly made an "eight" sign.
"Eighth place, so good?!" Ding Jiayi had already guessed that she might hear good news today, but she didn't expect the news to be so good.
The Affiliated High School is a good high school. Those who go to the Affiliated High School are smart kids with particularly good grades.
Among such a bunch of outstanding children, my daughter can take the eighth place in the exam. This is a rapid progress.
Sure enough, the money this time was not wasted. Zijin's grades have indeed improved a lot since he went to the Affiliated High School. The teachers at the Affiliated High School are also very good at teaching children!
Thinking this way, Ding Jiayi completely forgot that if Qiao Zijin could spend money to study in the attached middle school, the attached middle school might not have other students like Qiao Zijin whose academic performance was not good enough.
For this reason, Qiao Zijin's eighth place may not necessarily be the eighth place among good students.
Of course, Qiao Zijin would not explain so much to Ding Jiayi. She only needed to say that she was eighth.
"Zijin." Ding Jiayi took her eldest daughter to the back kitchen, then took out five dollars from her pocket and gave it to Qiao Zijin: "You have worked hard studying, buy more delicious food, don't lose yourself. Wait a minute, you Ask your dad to ask for it again. Do you understand?"
"I know, Mom, you are so kind to me. I will definitely treat you well and be filial to you when I become successful in the future!" Qiao Zijin was overjoyed as he took the five yuan.
After Qiao Dongliang got off work, Qiao Zijin also told Qiao Dongliang the good news that he was ranked eighth in the exam. As expected, Qiao Dongliang also laughed and gave Qiao Zijin seven yuan without saying a word.
The money Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi gave to Qiao Zijin totaled twelve yuan.
Thinking that Qiao Nan only got ten yuan from Qiao Dongliang last time, and his own was two yuan more than Qiao Nan, Qiao Zijin was happy.
She has long said that she is the most important one in the family, so why should Qiao Nan compare with her.
When she is completely forgiven by her father, he will definitely treat her better than he treats Qiao Nan. After all, it has always been like this.
"Zijin, eat more." At night, Ding Jiayi could finally favor Qiao Zijin openly again, and kept putting the meat dishes on the table into Qiao Zijin's bowl, fearing that Qiao Nan would overtake her. Eat a piece.
"Old Qiao, you see, everything I do is for Zijin and for the good of this family. The High School Affiliated is indeed the best high school, and the teachers there are really good at it. Of course, the most important thing is Zijin. Jin is smart enough. When did Zijin pass the eighth exam before? Moreover, every student in the attached middle school is smarter than the other. It is really easy for Zijin to get such a score. Look, Zijin has lost weight. He must have lost weight. I lost weight because I studied too hard. Old Qiao, if you want to say that I am partial to Zijin again, I will not admit it. Compared with the regression, Zijin has made great progress. This is the attitude that a person who really wants to learn should have. And look.”
Ding Jiayi supported Qiao Zijin while stepping on Qiao Nan.
Even though she knew now that there was definitely nothing she could do to make Qiao Nan learn to work by mistake, it would be good to put some pressure on Qiao Nan and make her feel uncomfortable.
The most important thing is that she wants Lao Qiao to understand that Zijin is the smartest child and will be promising in the future.
Therefore, even if she spends all the money in the family, as long as Zijin can keep up with his studies, everything will be worth it. This is her contribution to the family, not her own decision.
