“Not sure, it’ll depend on his specific performance.” Qiao Nan did not inflate hopes although she Zhu Baoguo had been conscientious in his studies during half of this semester.

However, there are a few cases in this world. Those who did not do well usually but performed in the exams, those who did well usually but failed to perform in the exams, or those who have consistent results during the normal days and exam.

Qiao Nan was not sure what category Zhu Baoguo belonged to.

“No issue. Before the exams, you can give him another push and help him to guess the questions. At the very least, let him pa.s.s his exams.” Qiao Dongliang did not expect too much. Zhu Baoguo failed the last round of exams, he hope that Zhu Baoguo would pa.s.s on this occasion.

“That should not be a problem.”

“Not a problem, you’re so certain. That’s good.” Qiao Dongliang was delighted. If Baoguo could pa.s.s the exams, he would have progressed significantly in his studies.

“Nan Nan, do you wish to buy anything during the Lunar New Year? Tell Dad. Dad will buy for you.” Qiao Dongliang was rarely generous.

“Dad, can I have a set of new clothes of my own?” This year, she did not wish to wear the used clothes of Qiao Zijin again.

During this time of the year, Qiao Zijin would always pa.s.s her unwanted clothes to Qiao Zijin. At the thought of this, Qiao Nan felt sorry for herself.

“Good!” Qiao Dongliang was surprised for a while, then he agreed. “After you finished your exams, during your vacation, Dad will take you shopping. You can choose what you like, okay?”

“Yes.”

“Yes what yes, don’t buy. There’s so many clothes at home. Don’t waste money unnecessarily.” Ding Jiayi was a spoilsport when she opened her mouth. “Your sister has so many clothes, all good, if you really want, I’ll take a few out to let you choose two.”

Having said that, Ding Jiayi felt the pinch. Thereafter, she would have to think carefully about which were the clothes that Zijin disliked wearing over the recent years.

If she gave those that Zijin liked to Qiao Nan, Zijin would most likely throw a fit.

“I’m buying and not using your money. Nan Nan’s matters, you don’t need to bother.” Although he knew what Ding Jiayi was thinking, Qiao Dongliang found it embarra.s.sing to scold Ding Jiayi in front of Qiao Nan.

The elder daughter had new clothes to wear every year, the younger daughter could only pick up the unwanted clothes of the elder one. At the thought of what Elder Lee told him before, Qiao Dongliang’s face was burning a little with embarra.s.sment.

“No, you can’t waste money like that.” Ding was unhappy. “Zijin is studying in high school now, the students in her school are either smart or has good family background. If you’re buying one more set of clothes for Zijin, I can understand. It’s not that Qiao Nan does not have any clothes to wear, why care about this when we are so poor?”

“Do you mean that Zijin should wear new clothes, whereas when Nan Nan does so, she is asking for too much?” Qiao Dongliang was angered. “I have said, I will take care of Nan Nan’s matters, you stand aside. You don’t allow me to buy. Nan Nan, let’s go, Dad will take you to buy now. We pick two sets instead of one. You can wear them interchangeably during the Lunar New Year. As for dinner, Dad will take you to the restaurant!”

“Okay, I listen to Dad.” Qiao Nan stood near Qiao Dongliang. She intentionally picked a place that was further away from Ding Jiayi.

After being hit by Ding Jiayi numerous times, Qiao Nan was accustomed to this type of situations. He mother would definitely be the first to bash her during such times.

True enough, when she heard that Qiao Nan was such a spendthrift and refused to listen to advice, Ding Jiayi raised her hand and wanted to hit Qiao Nan a few times, but she could not as Qiao Nan avoided her too well.

“Nan Nan, let’s go, Dad happens to have money in the pocket today.” Moving away from Ding Jiayi and avoiding her ugly expression, Qiao Dongliang left immediately as he pulled Qiao Nan along to buy her new clothes.

Qiao Nan was not sure if this was because Qiao Dongliang was delighted as she a.s.sured Qiao Dongliang that Zhu Baoguo would pa.s.s the coming examination. He really led Qiao Nan shopping and bought her two full sets of new clothing, from head and toe.
