Rebirth System: Learning makes me happy - Chapter 21
The senior high school teachers were busy for three or four days and finally finished marking the first mock exam papers.
Zhang Yiyang has been on edge these days and has not been focused in class, so she has been called out by the teacher many times.
On the other hand, Su Qingqing was just like usual, running, eating, and studying normally.
If it weren’t for the fact that Zhang Yiyang was in such a bad state that anyone with eyes could see it, she would have almost forgotten about the bet.
Zhang Yiyang looked at her “arrogant” attitude and became even more flustered and angry, falling into a vicious cycle.
Early that morning, the head teacher walked into the classroom with a smile on his face, and anyone could see that he was in a pretty good mood.
“Students, our first mock exam results are out.”
The classroom suddenly became quiet, filled with a tense atmosphere.
The head teacher didn’t say much, and directly took a stack of report cards and asked the monitor to distribute them to everyone.
Su Qingqing took the report card and looked down:
Su Qingqing: Class: 1 Grade: 1
Xu Ran: Class: 2 Grade: 4
Xu Ruyi: Class: 3 Grade: 5
…
Xue Yan: Class: 17 Grade: 57
Zhang Yiyang: Class: 18 Grade: 83
Su Qingqing raised her eyebrows. She had seen the efforts of Xu Ruyi and Xue Yan during this period, but it was surprising that they could have such a big improvement.
Xu Ruyi and Xue Yan were so excited that they just wanted to hug Su Qingqing and kiss her. They both knew that they could achieve such good results, mostly because of Su Qingqing’s notes.
Thinking of Su Qingqing’s temper, Xu Ruyi had to regretfully give up, and took the second best option to hug her tightly when the head teacher turned around.
At this time, Xue Yan threw a small piece of paper on Su Qingqing’s desk, on which was neatly written:
Boss! Please accept my respect!
Su Qingqing was speechless and amused. No matter how useful the notes were, they still had to make some efforts on their own. But Xu Ruyi didn’t want to listen to her “sophistry”. She turned around and took Su Qingqing’s paper and checked the answers.
Su Qingqing reluctantly put the note in her book, thinking maliciously that she could use this note to tease Xue Yan about his late middle school entrance examination.
Su Qingqing was having a great time, but Zhang Yiyang felt like she was falling into an ice cave after seeing the report card.
Seeing her ugly face, Zhang Yiyang’s deskmate quietly put away her report card. She originally wanted to show off that she was in the top ten, but now she didn’t dare to show off, for fear of stimulating Zhang Yiyang to faint.
The head teacher saw their reactions clearly, and shook his head regretfully when he saw Zhang Yiyang. He knew that Zhang Yiyang was jealous of Su Qingqing, and he had tried to persuade her implicitly several times, but it seemed to have no effect.
He clapped his hands and said, “Classmates, our class’s results this time are very good. We surpassed Class 7 and ranked first.”
He smiled more kindly when he said this. “Su Qingqing’s results this time are particularly outstanding. She improved by 16 places, which is 10 points higher than the second place. She has accumulated a lot of experience and won the first place in one fell swoop.”
“Everyone should learn from her. Don’t be discouraged by temporary setbacks. Only the accumulation of quantity can lead to a qualitative leap. You still have time.
One more point in the college entrance examination can beat a thousand people. Don’t underestimate that one point, children.”
Zhang Yiyang didn’t listen to a word of the head teacher’s earnest teachings. Her heart and eyes were full of her failure.
After class, when Su Qingqing raised her head and relaxed her shoulders, she saw from the corner of her eye that the head teacher called Zhang Yiyang out. After a glance, she lowered her head and continued to do the questions, not caring about what would happen to her.
Time always flies when studying, and Su Qingqing’s 18th birthday came unknowingly.
On March 22, 2015, she became an adult.
It was Sunday, and early in the morning, Su’s mother cooked longevity noodles and eggs for her. No matter how busy Su’s mother was, Su Qingqing could always eat longevity noodles and eggs full of Su’s mother’s love on her birthday every year.
Looking at Su’s father busy in the kitchen, Su Qingqing added in her heart: There is also a birthday cake made by her father.
Su’s mother looked at Su Qingqing lovingly and said, “Our baby has grown up and is an adult. But you must remember that you will always be your parents’ baby. Don’t be alone when you are wronged outside.”
At this time, Su’s father came out, touched Su Qingqing’s head and said, “Remember that no matter what you do, your parents will only trust and support you unconditionally.”
“But you must also be responsible for your own choices. Your future is only in your own hands.”
Su Qingqing listened carefully to her parents’ teachings and remembered them deeply in her heart, not letting herself waste her parents’ love for her.
She nodded heavily and was about to say something touching, but Father Su interrupted her and said, “Come on, I know you’ve taken it to heart, so forget about the touching words. I don’t want to see you crying.”
The tears that Su Qingqing was about to shed were held back by these words. She was so tired that she continued to eat without saying a word.
Mother Su laughed. She knew that Father Su did it on purpose, but Su Qingqing’s expression change was so interesting that she couldn’t help it.
Su Qingqing looked at her with resentment. Mother Su couldn’t stand this little look, so she stood up and said, “Mom has to go to work, baby, eat slowly.”
Looking at Mother Su’s figure going away, Su Qingqing continued to eat the longevity noodles with a hum.
Father Su hid in the kitchen and pretended that he didn’t hear anything.
After finishing the meal and saying hello to Father Su, Su Qingqing returned to the room, but saw several more beautifully wrapped gifts on the table.
Yesterday, they all sent their gifts to Su’s mother’s shop. Jiang Nian and Zheng’s siblings were out of town, so they discussed and sent the gifts directly to the flower shop. They specially asked Su’s mother to give it to Su Qingqing on her birthday. Su’s mother secretly put the gift on the table in her room while she was eating.
Su Qingqing carefully unwrapped the package. The first one was Jiang Nian’s gift, an oil painting.
She painted the sunrise in Lucheng, the colors were warm and bright, and just looking at this painting gave people infinite hope.
After carefully putting away the painting, Su Qingqing planned to frame it later. After moving into the new house, she would hang the painting in the living room on the first floor so that every guest who came to visit could feel the shock it brought to people.
The second gift was from Xu Ruyi. She knew that Su Qingqing liked sweets, so she made nougat with her own milk.
Pieces of nougat were neatly placed in an exquisite wooden box, and a small note was placed on the lid, which read: One piece a day, no more.
Su Qingqing smiled and said “OK”, put the wooden box on the bedside table, and then opened a gift.
Xue Yan gave her a music box, and when she turned it on, she could hear the song “Happy Birthday”; Zheng Yinqiu gave her a white fox doll as tall as a person, and spent all his pocket money on it; Zheng Boqiu knew from nowhere that she was practicing calligraphy, so he gave her an ingot of Hui ink.
Looking at these gifts, Su Qingqing felt very happy, and she picked up her phone to share her joy with her friends.
The smile on Su Qingqing’s face did not fade away until dinner in the evening.
Dad Su put candles on the fruit cake on the table and lit it. Mom Su cooperated and turned off the lights. In the dim living room, only the candlelight on the dining table could be seen. Mom Su clapped her hands and sang: “Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you~”
Dad Su also sang along; “Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to my baby!”
Su Qingqing closed her eyes and made an adult birthday wish in the loving eyes of her parents: I wish I have this day every year.
She greedily wanted to be so happy every year.
Then she opened her eyes and blew towards the candles.
Dad Su turned on the lights, and Mom Su smiled and said: “Our baby’s wish will definitely come true.”
Su Qingqing smiled happily when she heard that.
