Chapter 136: Full of Confidence and Ready to Skip Grades 2

  Mr. Li looked at Tian Wei's test paper and flipped through it, and was indeed surprised to find that he hadn't found any mistakes in a quick scan.

  "Alright, school's out, hurry back home. This afternoon I'll grade your exam papers with the senior teachers and you can see your scores when you come back!" Li, the class teacher, seemed a bit excited, and without waiting for Tian Huan to leave the office, he took the exam papers and headed to another teacher's office.

  The two sisters returned home, Old Hu had already left. The coal pit was very busy and couldn't be left unattended for a moment. When the two sisters went back, Tian Biao was telling Li Shufen that he wanted to make new clothes for San Jie Di.

  At that time, few people in rural areas went to the streets to buy ready-made clothes. They all bought fabric and made their own clothes. As a result, the style of clothing worn by children in a village was basically the same, with floral shirts being a dead giveaway of a country girl.

  When she heard that they were going to buy new clothes, Tian Yuan put down the cloth bag and hurriedly said, "Dad, can we go to the county town and choose them ourselves? The clothes made here don't look good!"

  Women all love beauty, especially Tian Yuan, who has the heart of a twenty-something-year-old woman, naturally loves beauty more than girls of the same age.

  In the past, there was no economic condition to mention this idea. Now that the family's conditions have gradually improved, Tianyuan's little thought can't be suppressed anymore.

  "What? Didn't you used to be happy with new clothes before? Now you even know how to choose styles? This girl has grown up, and it's true that each one loves beauty!" Tian Biao smiled indulgently, not getting angry at all because of Tian Yuan's request.

  "Alright, this weekend I'll take you three siblings to the county town for a stroll, buy some good food and clothes. Huanhuan has been working hard lately, deserves a reward!" Li Shufen smiled and agreed, "When the time comes, I'll take you to the market, what style, you choose yourself, each person from head to toe will have a new set!"

  As soon as she heard, Tianlu was excited and jumped up and down with her backpack on, circling around Tianyuan. "Sister, you're so smart! I didn't know we could go to the county town to choose our own styles. Last time I saw the kids in the county town wearing little Western-style skirts, they were so pretty! I love them! Now that it's cold, I want to buy a little Western-style skirt for winter too!"

  "Tiantian, come sit by daddy's side. Daddy and mommy want to discuss something with you." Tianbiao saw that Tiantian was in a good mood now, so he thought it was the right time to talk to her about going to the city for the competition.

  "Yuan Yuan, it's like this. Your dad and I, as well as your grandfather, have all discussed it. We're already very happy and proud of you for getting first place in the county. Going to the city is even farther away and takes longer, and there are even more kids there who are even more formidable. Mom and Dad don't want you to feel too much pressure, so we were thinking that maybe you shouldn't go to the competition in the city after all. Is that okay?"

  Tian Wei was taken aback. She had never thought that her father and mother would worry about the pressure being too great for her, or that she was too young to withstand the blow of failure.

  For a moment, Tianyuan was crying and laughing, but in her heart, she felt moved by her parents' concern for her. They, as they said, really didn't want her to go out and win glory for the family, but just wanted to see her grow up healthily without any burdens.

  But also a bit disappointed, the people at home still don't quite believe in her ability, thinking that she can surpass those from the county town, but may not be able to surpass the children from the city, so they worry that her psychological quality will not be able to withstand the blow of failure, and fear that once she fails, she won't be able to get back up.
