Even if she had the money to go to the bookstore to choose, she might not be able to choose such a suitable book for her.
When Qiao Nan returned home, Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi were already there. Qiao Nan put down her schoolbag and looked at Ding Jiayi's excited face. Her eyes were brighter than fluorescent lamps. Was she picking up money on the road?
"Zi Jin is so impressive. A famous school is a famous school, and the Affiliated High School is really great. I feel that letting Zi Jin go to the Affiliated High School is the best thing I have done in my life."
"That's right. Did you ask someone to bring the money to Zijin?" Qiao Dongliang also smiled, with an expression of pride: "Zijin is not at home, so you are going to order some food today, let's celebrate.
"
Qiao Dongliang is really happy that his eldest daughter is so promising.
"Okay!" Ding Jiayi agreed without saying a word: "Today's additional dishes are all thanks to Zijin."
As she said that, Ding Jiayi glanced at Qiao Nan pointedly. If it weren't for celebrating for Zi Jin, she wouldn't want to make this damn girl cheaper by preparing food while Zi Jin was away.
"Nan Nan is back." Qiao Dongliang, who was in a good mood, saw that everything was good: "Nan Nan, Zijin won the opportunity to participate in the provincial capital composition competition in school. Your sister has really made progress this time."
"Provincial capital essay competition?" Hearing the name, Qiao Nan raised her eyebrows in surprise. What a coincidence?
However, considering the essay written by Qiao Zijin, is she also qualified to participate in the competition?
"That's right. Nannan, when you go to high school, you will also have the opportunity to participate in the provincial capital composition competition like Zijin." Thinking of his younger daughter's better grades, Qiao Dongliang felt that his younger daughter would definitely have the same results in the future.
Such an opportunity.
"Old Qiao, don't put so much pressure on Qiao Nan. Can anyone participate in the composition competition in the provincial capital? Zijin asked someone to pass the message, and they went to ten of the entire Affiliated Middle School. One-tenth of the Affiliated Middle School
How many students are there, and these students are all good students. Zijin is so encouraging to us!" Ding Jiayi became more and more excited as she spoke: "You used to be in charge of Zijin, and Zijin told me about the novels she read before.
, don’t care about the plot, but the writing is good, read more, it will be of great help to the composition. Look, Zijin didn’t spend his money in vain, and he didn’t read books randomly. Whatever books Zijin read, it all makes sense.
of."
"Dad, when will sister go to the provincial capital to compete?" Qiao Nan asked casually while drinking boiled water.
"Your sister won't be back next week. She has to stay at school for training because the essay competition is on the weekend of next week."
"Oh, that's the same as me."
"Same?" Qiao Dongliang blinked: "Nannan, you also want to participate in the essay competition?"
"Um."
"Uh-huh, uh-huh, Zijin is participating in an essay competition in a provincial capital. How can that be the same?" Ding Jiayi shot Qiao Nan angrily.
"I also participated in the provincial capital essay competition, and the time was the same as my sister's, so I said it was a coincidence."
Qiao Nan's words should have been good news for the Qiao family, but in an instant, the smiles on the faces of Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi froze.
Qiao Dongliang was very happy, but at this moment he had too much on his mind.
Qiao Zijin was able to participate in the composition competition, but she would not be back next week. She asked someone to bring a message back, asking Qiao Dongliang and his wife for money. She said she wanted to buy a composition book and take a good look at it.
The child is progressing in study, performing well, and buying a serious composition book. How can a parent not agree to it?
Therefore, Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi directly pooled together ten dollars and gave it to the man, asking him to bring it to Qiao Zijin.
This raises a problem. Both girls participated in an essay competition in the provincial capital. I gave the eldest daughter ten yuan to buy study materials but not the younger daughter. Is it okay?
Qiao Dongliang, who has always pursued "fairness, justice, and openness," hesitated when he thought about the money in his pocket.
There was a famine at home and he didn't save any manuscripts. Qiao Dongliang didn't know what he was doing, so he tried his best to save a little bit.
The ten yuan just now is already an extra expense. If you want to give another ten yuan, it is really...
If you don't give it, Qiao Dongliang thinks it's unfair and biased, but if you give it, it will cost too much money, and Qiao Dongliang's heart will hurt.
Ding Jiayi quickly pulled Qiao Dongliang. When they gave the money just now, Qiao Nan was not at home. Qiao Nan had no idea that they gave Zijin ten yuan: "That's good. I'll prepare dinner. You
Now go back to your room and read a book quickly."
For the first time, Ding Jiayi watched Qiao Nan go back to her room so willingly, doing no housework, and then read her own book.
"Yeah." Qiao Nan responded and walked back to the room carrying her schoolbag.
The couple was about to breathe a sigh of relief when Qiao Nan opened the door, turned her head and asked: "My sister is going to participate in the provincial capital essay competition, have you given me money to buy materials?"
Ding Jiayi's smiling face froze and turned green.
Qiao Dongliang was embarrassed for a while, saying that no matter how hard or how poor you are, you can't have children. Qiao Dongliang gritted his teeth and reached into his trouser pocket: "Yes, I just asked someone to bring ten yuan to your sister. Qiao Nan, come here, here
Take the ten dollars and if there is any information you need, go and buy it. We finally have this opportunity, and we must cherish it."
When Ding Jiayi heard that she wanted to give Qiao Nan ten yuan, she opened her mouth to scream.
Qiao Dongliang glared at Ding Jiayi: "If you're not happy, fine, I'll go to Zijin's school later and get the ten dollars back?"
"Can it be the same? Zijin is in high school, and the materials purchased are expensive, so just give her ten yuan. She is in junior high school, and their competitions are different, and they are not together. You can just give her a few cents.
"?" Ding Jiayi screamed.
"Why didn't you say give me one point or two points?" Qiao Dongliang rolled his eyes at Ding Jiayi: "Treat everyone equally, Zijin will get ten yuan, and Nannan will also get ten yuan. This matter is settled. Nannan, money
Take it!"
Looking at the ten dollars that was forced into her hand, Qiao Nan felt a little uncomfortable at first.
At least her father had tried hard to be as fair to her and Qiao Zijin as possible.
"Dad, I don't need it. My sister bought so many composition books. I really need them. Hers is enough. But I will go to the provincial capital to compete next weekend. I am away from home. You won't need ten yuan, but you still have to
Give me two yuan. I can't let the teacher treat me to dinner, right?" After returning the ten yuan to Qiao Dongliang, Qiao Nan asked for another one.
"..." Qiao Nan's words made Qiao Dongliang feel quite sad. The eldest daughter had so many review materials, but the impression was that the younger daughter had never bought any.
Fair, their family has never been fair.
But he had no choice. Zijin wanted to find a son-in-law, and the children Zijin would have in the future would have his surname of Qiao. If he could treat Nannan better, he would try his best to do so: "Okay, here are three dollars.
