Even if she had the money to pick it up in the bookstore, she might not be able to choose a book that suited her so well.
When Qiao Nan reached home, Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi were already around. Qiao Nan put away her school bag. She saw that Ding Jiayi had a look of excitement on her face, both eyes were as bright as the daylight – did she pick up some money from the streets?
“Zijin is so capable. A prominent school lives up to its name. The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China is excellent. I feel that I have made the best decision in my life by admitting her into the school.”
“It’s not bad. Have you gotten someone to bring the money over to Zijin?” Qiao Dongliang was all smiles too, with a expression full of glory.”Zijin is not at home, today, you should prepare a good meal too, we can celebrate.”
The elder daughter was so capable, Qiao Dongliang was really pleased.
“Fine!” Ding Jiayi agreed without any hesitation.”Good food today all thanks to Zijin.”
While saying that, Ding Jiayi s.h.i.+fted her glance to Qiao Nan, if not for the sake of celebrating for Zijin, she also did not wish to prepare a good meal when Zijin was away and benefit the wretched girl.
“Nan Nan is back.” Qiao Dongliang, who was in a good mood, saw everything positively. “Nan Nan, Zijin got a place to partic.i.p.ate in the provincial city essay writing compet.i.tion. Your sister has really improved.”
“Provincial city essay writing compet.i.tion?” Having heard this, Qiao Nan raised her eyebrows. Such a coincidence?
But, with Qiao Zijin’s essay, was she qualified to join the compet.i.tion?
“Yes, Nan Nan, when you study in the senior high school, like Zijin, you will also have the opportunity to partic.i.p.ate in the Provincial city essay writing compet.i.tion.” At the thought that the younger daughter’s grades were better, Qiao Dongliang believed that she would certainly have the chance to do so in future.
“Old Qiao, you don’t need to give Qiao Nan so much pressure, can any Tom, d.i.c.k and Harry take part in the provincial city composition compet.i.tion? Zijin asked someone to pa.s.sed the message that the whole school only sent 10 people. One out of 10, there are so many students in the school, and all these are good students. Zijin has done us proud!” Ding Jiayi became more excited as she continued. “You used to control Zijin. Zijin told me that, putting the storyline aside, the writing in the novels that she read previously is good. Reading more will help greatly in essay writing. You see, Zijin did not waste money or read the books without giving any thoughts. She had a reason for reading those books.”
While drinking her water, Qiao Nan casually asked, “Dad, when is Sister going to the compet.i.tion?”
“Your sister will not be back next week, she has to stay in the school for training because the essay writing compet.i.tion is on the weekend of the week after next.”
“Oh, same for me too.”
“Same?” Qiao Dongliang blinked his eyes. “Nan Nan, you are also joining the compet.i.tion?”
“Yes.”
“What yes, Zijin is partic.i.p.ating in the provincial city essay compet.i.tion, how can it be the same?” Ding Jiayi casted an unhappy look at Qiao Nan.
“I am also joining the compet.i.tion, and at the same timing as Sister, that’s why I said it’s a coincidence.”
Qiao Nan’s words should be good news for the family, but at that moment, the smiles on the faces of Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi were frozen for a while.
Qiao Dongliang was happy, but at this moment he had further thoughts.
Qiao Zijin was able to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion and would not be coming home next week. She specially asked someone to sent a message to request money from the Qiao couple to buy an essay writing book to read.
