Chapter 18: The Era of Face-Slapping Rebirth of a Woman
Anning had to spend a lot of effort explaining to the Lin family that the money for shopping was from her scholarship.
Because she ranked first in the county, both the town and the county awarded her money.
Lin Jiugen was overjoyed upon hearing that Anning ranked first in the county, even performing better than the students from the county's No.1 Middle School, his joy beyond words.
"Great, our Ningning is really smart, to be able to rank first in the county, truly making our old Lin family proud."
Wu Pan'ni also had a face full of joy, proudly touching the scarf around her neck: "Good, our Ningning can even earn money to buy things for Grandma now."
Lin Aiguo was planning to pray to the ancestors during the Lunar New Year's Eve tomb visit, asking them to bless Anning with good results in next year's college entrance exam.
It wasn't just a thought; he also discussed with Lin Jiugen how to make offerings to the ancestors during New Year's Eve.
Wang Cuixhua urged Anning: "Ningning, hurry and bring out your exam paper for mom to see. Right, copy down the scores; during New Year's Eve, we'll burn them for the ancestors to share the joy too."
"That's right."
Putting aside his tobacco pipe, Lin Jiugen coughed and said, "It's about time we properly talked to our ancestors. Our old Lin family's ancestral graves puffing blue smoke, now producing a cultured person."
Just as Lin Anping arrived, Lin Jiugen began to prod him: "I don't expect you to match your sister by ranking first, but you should still strive hard, aiming to get into a university."
