"Isn't that the truth? My kid came back saying the same thing, that their teacher always uses Mianmian as an example, telling them to study hard, and mentioning that as long as your grades are good, schools will be fighting over you. Not only do you not have to pay tuition, but you also get a scholarship every year."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Guihua couldn't help but boast proudly, "That's right. Ever since my granddaughter started school and paid those two yuan in the first year, she hasn't had to pay tuition ever since. Every year she takes exams, she always manages to get a scholarship."
"Yes, Mianmian is now our pride here in Stone Bridge Village. Mention that you're from Stone Bridge Village, and eight out of ten people will come over to ask about our village's Little Prodigy," the villagers chimed in.
At first, the village chief turned a blind eye to their chitchat, with no intention of interfering.
