Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack! Chapter 120: Going to School
A month later, Gu Xiaoqing was almost ready to walk.
Just a bit slow in action.
Already able to attend school.
It was Gu Xiaoqing who insisted strongly, mainly because she still wanted to participate in the high school entrance exam; she couldn’t afford to fall behind in her studies.
Fortunately, Teacher Fang Nan found out about Gu Xiaoqing’s situation and arranged for Gu Juying to bring the classroom notes to Gu Xiaoqing every day, so that she could look at them and self-study while laying at ho.
There were also the exercises, which were consistently brought to Gu Xiaoqing; even if she didn’t do them, she could still review them.
Gu Juying’s task now was really important.
Almost every day after school, Gu Juying would co to Gu Xiaoqing’s house.
She would stay with Gu Xiaoqing for almost a few hours, only after having dinner at Gu Xiaoqing’s house would she go back ho.
It was always Gu Xiaoying who would walk Gu Juying back ho.
At first, Gu Juying’s mother felt guilty and would send her youngest son to call Gu Juying back ho for dinner.
Over ti, with Gu Juying’s stubbornness and her liking for Gu Xiaoqing’s family’s als,
Gu Juying’s mom compromised.
She even brought over fifty pounds of white flour and two chickens as a gesture of goodwill towards Gu Xiaoqing.
Li Xuei has not been doing business for a while, focusing solely on taking care of Gu Xiaoqing at ho.
Five days after the incident, Gu Ruhai resud his street stall.
Bringing Gu Xiaoying along.
Also receiving help from the two daughters of Li Weimin and Li Weiqiang’s family.
So the stall continued operating.
But Gu Xiaoqing’s cold noodle and jelly business also began to formally take place.
Gu Ruhai was proud that his child’s idea really worked; these things were indeed very much to everyone’s taste.
Especially the jelly, although a bit cumberso to make at ho, was liked by many once sold, even sparking inquiries.
Unfortunately, Gu Ruhai now understood the importance of trade secrets more than ever.
He simply wouldn’t share.
The popularity of the jelly here surprised even Gu Ruhai; it’s made of thin cucumber slices, crushed peanuts, a few small cubes of gluten, topped with two spoons of chili oil and various seasonings.
It’s sothing almost everyone at the market now wants to try.
This business is now even better than the previous fried and stead dumplings.
Now bringing in about sixty yuan a day.
Gu Ruhai is satisfied at heart now.
The house is built, the kids are safely ho.
They make nearly two thousand yuan a month, having even amassed so savings.
He feels he’s lived a fulfilled life.
Of course, another major event was when the traffickers were brought to justice, and the county held a recognition eting, specifically highlighting Gu Xiaoqing’s na announced personally by the county mayor.
For this, a secretary from the county’s office specially delivered a bravery award and a thousand-yuan bonus to Gu Xiaoqing’s ho, handing it directly to Gu Xiaoqing herself.
At that ti, Gu Ruhai’s ho was extrely prestigious.
Town officials accompanied by the town mayor personally ca to Gu Ruhai’s ho; outside there was a row of cars, the kind of tal boxes rural folks had never seen in a lifeti, attracting all the villagers to gather outside and watch the festivity.
The village chief even arranged for people to set off firecrackers, it was all lively and bustling.
The secretary personally shook hands with Gu Xiaoqing and reminded the town mayor to focus on nurturing this child; no matter how far she could go academically, the governnt would definitely support her.
So, the town mayor agreed repeatedly, patting Gu Ruhai on the shoulder and saying, "If there’s any difficulty, co to the town mayor."
Gu Ruhai had never seen so many officials, nor reporters with caras; the flashing light made it hard for him to keep his eyes open.
This beca the most glorious day of Gu Ruhai’s life.
The fa of Gu Ruhai’s ho spread all over the region; people curious to see soone who had t the county mayor would frequently pop up at Gu Ruhai’s stall.
Gu Ruhai also changed a lot, chatting and gossiping with others, without interrupting the business.
Gu Xiaoqing finally returned to school.
But every day, it was still Gu Juying who picked up Gu Xiaoqing, as she couldn’t do heavy work yet.
The bruises on her face had long faded, but Li Xuei worried about the area where Gu Xiaoqing’s ribs were broken, urging her to be careful.
Gu Xiaoqing felt she had gained a lot of weight.
Her clothes were getting a bit tight.
On her first day of school, she received a warm welco.
The valiant act acknowledged by the county made her a little hero, impossible for others to ignore.
Principal Gu and Teacher Fang Nan hosted a welco ceremony.
They praised Gu Xiaoqing for her bravery and wisdom against the criminals.
Gu Xiaoqing enjoyed a mont of glory.
Her na beca well-known throughout the county.
Gu Xiaoqing didn’t take it to heart, focusing primarily on her studies.
After returning, Gu Xiaoqing focused on catching up with the courses she had missed, luckily having Teacher Fang Nan’s care; he would stay after school, specially tutoring Gu Xiaoqing and Gu Juying together.
Gu Juying was just a prop; actually, she never wanted the tutoring, but being Gu Xiaoqing’s driver, she couldn’t escape it.
Gu Xiaoqing had an exceptionally good brain, catching up with the missed courses quickly, surprising Fang Nan.
Gu Xiaoqing seed to have a natural keen instinct for mathematics, rare among girls.
In most students, boys naturally had advantages in subjects like math, physics, and chemistry.
But not in Gu Xiaoqing’s case; besides, her language skills were also good, thanks to her love for all kinds of classical literature, and of course, her English was unstoppable, having built a foundation in her previous life, complented by a university student’s private tutoring; even though she hadn’t used it for years, picking it back up was like second nature.
Putting all these together, Teacher Fang Nan saw her as an exceptionally talented genius student.
He looked at her in a whole new light.
What especially puzzled Fang Nan was that though she was a born-and-bred rural kid, her English pronunciation was astonishingly pure.
Almost purely British, with very accurate emphasis.
Even more standard than his own, a university teacher’s pronunciation.
This naturally sparked curiosity.
Thus, Gu Xiaoqing was unhesitatingly selected by Fang Nan to join Jiang Weidong in the county’s math competition.
Jiang Weidong was Jiang Xiulan’s nephew’s child.
At this mont, Jiang Weidong didn’t quite know Gu Xiaoqing’s capacity.
Though he didn’t say it, he felt unwilling; being a boy, he believed his mind was supposed to be much quicker.
He thought participating in the math competition was unquestionably his duty.
But as for Gu Xiaoqing, Jiang Weidong thought she was just basking in the glow of being recognized by the county.
