In the morning, the three brothers finished breakfast and went to school.

During class, they were praised by Teacher Jiang, which originated from the events of the previous evening.

The commotion by the well last night attracted the attention of the school principal of the military school.

Upon learning about it, the principal approached the military nursery and praised the teacher there for teaching the children so well.

She wanted to commend the teacher at the school’s general meeting and asked her to give a lesson to all the students.

The nursery’s head then inquired and found out that it was the children from Class 3 of the nursery.

She then approached the homeroom teacher of Class 3, Teacher Jiang, and informed her of the school’s plan.

However, Teacher Jiang declined the honor, stating that the exemplary behavior of the children in Class 3 was not due to her teaching, but because of the twins setting a good example.

Therefore, the honor should belong to the twins.

She suggested that if they wanted someone to give a lesson to all the students, it would be better to invite the twins’ mother.

The nursery head found Teacher Jiang’s reasoning reasonable and asked her to contact the twins’ mother herself to discuss this matter.

During class today, Teacher Jiang saw the twins and felt particularly good.

She was a new teacher at the nursery and had only taught the children for two years. It was the first time she had received praise and attention from the school, all thanks to the twins.

Naturally, she grew fonder of the twins for bringing her this pride.

“Good morning, everyone. Later, all of our children will gather on the playground. Our students, Lin Haizhi and Lin Hairui, have been praised by the school.” Teacher Jiang shared this good news with everyone as soon as class started.

The children whispered to each other, not knowing what being praised meant.

Yi Bao and Er Bao also looked at Teacher Jiang in confusion.

Yi Bao curiously asked, “Teacher, what are we being praised for?”

Teacher Jiang smiled and said, “You’re being praised for being good and filial children, setting a good example for the other kids. Later, the teacher will praise you in front of everyone and give you certificates. Don’t worry, the teacher and all the kids from Class 3 will be there with you.”

Yi Bao and Er Bao had never seen a certificate before, so when they heard about it, Er Bao couldn’t help asking, “Teacher, what does the certificate look like?”

Teacher Jiang teased, “You’ll find out later.” Then she turned to the other children and said, “Lin Haizhi and Lin Hairui will receive certificates, and the rest of you will receive other rewards because you’re all good and filial children.”

Upon hearing Teacher Jiang’s words, the children were all very excited.

The collective commendation at the nursery was held on the playground.

All the children gathered together, totaling over a hundred.

They each brought a small stool to sit on, making quite a large gathering.

Some passing family members, curious, stopped and watched from outside the nursery’s fence.

The children sat down as instructed by the teacher.

It was the first time so many children had sat together like this, and they were all very happy.

They looked around, chatting with each other if they recognized someone.

“Children…” the nursery head began, “today, we are gathering everyone to commend the children from Class 3. Can the children from Class 3 please stand up?”

The children of Class 3 looked at each other, but they were obedient children.

Upon hearing the nursery head’s words, they all stood up obediently.

The nursery head asked the other teachers to bring over a sieve filled with many small red flowers. She said, “Today, we want to commend the children from Class 3. They help their parents with household chores and are filial children. The other children should learn from them. Now, children from Class 3, please hang these small red flowers around your necks.”

The children had previously received paper flowers as rewards, but these flowers were made of red paper and were shaped like real flowers, similar to the flowers worn at weddings.

These flowers were tied with red strings, which allowed the children to wear them around their necks, making them extremely proud.

Teacher Jiang carried the sieve over and said, “Come, each of you take a flower and put it on.” As she passed by each child, she reminded them to do so.

The children liked the flowers and were very enthusiastic about wearing them, as they were rewards from the school.

Seeing the children from Class 3 wearing the small red flowers around their necks, the children from other classes were envious.

The nursery head continued, “In addition to commending the children from Class 3, we also want to specially commend Lin Haizhi and Lin Hairui, who are role models for all the children in Class 3.

They were the first to help with household chores at home, which encouraged the other children in Class 3. Now, please let Lin Haizhi and Lin Hairui come up to receive their awards.”

Huh?

Yi Bao and Er Bao were somewhat bewildered and widened their eyes.

Teacher Jiang smiled and waved to Yi Bao and Er Bao, “Lin Haizhi, Lin Hairui, come up here quickly.”

Upon hearing Teacher Jiang call them, they finally went up.

But as they took a step forward, San Bao grabbed them. “Brother Brother…”

Although San Bao went to and from school with Yibao and Er Bao every day and was familiar with the children from Class 3, he instinctively wanted to go with them when he saw his brother going out.

Yi Bao held San Bao back. “Teacher, can we bring San Bao up with us?”

Yi Bao, who always did everything with San Bao, couldn’t help asking Teacher Jiang.

“Well…” Teacher Jiang looked at the nursery head.

The nursery head kindly said, “It’s okay, you can bring your little brother up with you.”

She already knew about the three brothers from Teacher Jiang.

Hearing the nursery head’s words, Yi Bao felt relieved.

He said to San Bao, “San Bao, let’s go.”

“Okay.” San Bao happily agreed.

When the three brothers walked up, the nursery head took two certificates from another teacher. “Lin Haizhi, Lin Hairui, you are role models for every child.

We hope you will continue to show this spirit, being filial to your elders and loving your classmates.

These are our Outstanding Student certificates. Congratulations.”

Yi Bao and Er Bao looked at the certificates in the nursery head’s hands.

Although they didn’t know what they were for, they knew they were good things, rewards from the teacher.

“Thank you, Teacher.” Yi Bao took the certificate and smiled sweetly.

Seeing this, Er Bao naturally followed suit, “Thank you, Teacher.” He also took the certificate and looked at it curiously, flipping it over.

It was just a piece of paper.

Then, the nursery head took two PLA backpacks from the same teacher. “Of course, in addition to the certificates, these are also rewards for you. Let the teacher help you put them on.”

With that, she put the two PLA backpacks on Yi Bao and Er Bao.

These PLA backpacks were kept as backups in the nursery and could be exchanged for many, many, many small red flowers.

It’s just that no one had ever exchanged for them, not because they needed too many small red flowers, but because once the children had small red flowers, they would go exchange for other things first, so no one had ever exchanged for the PLA backpacks.

Today, they were given to Yi Bao and Er Bao as rewards, which also served to encourage the other children.

The two boys happily touched the PLA backpacks.

Although they preferred the ones their mother made for them, this kind of reward meant something different to them.

“Brother brother…” Just as Yi Bao and Er Bao were ecstatic, San Bao felt aggrieved.

Why did his two brothers have them, but he didn’t? He wanted one too. “Bro, San Bao want.”

Yi Bao heard San Bao’s words and asked innocently, “Teacher, is this a reward for doing chores?”

The nursery head said, “Yes, this is a reward for doing chores and being filial to your parents.”

She thought this was a good phenomenon, which could also motivate other children and needed to be affirmed, publicized, and encouraged.

Unexpectedly, Yi Bao continued, “Then, Teacher, why doesn’t San Bao have one? He also helps us with chores. He helps wash vegetables and… ” After thinking for a moment, Yi Bao realized that other than washing vegetables, San Bao didn’t know how to do much else… no, there was also, “He also helps us gather firewood and pick wild vegetables.” These were things they often did back home.

The nursery head and the other teachers were taken aback.

They hadn’t expected Yi Bao to say this.

Or you could say, they had never encountered a situation where rewards could be negotiated like this.

However, what Lin Haizhi said was not unreasonable.

They were all children from the same family.

If the twins were rewarded for washing clothes and dishes, their younger brother should also be rewarded for washing vegetables and picking firewood.

It’s just that, before, the school only knew about the twins washing clothes and dishes and didn’t know that their younger brother, who was so young, had also started doing chores.

Teacher Jiang felt somewhat embarrassed.

She knew that Lin Haizhi was simply unaware of the situation, but…

The nursery head smiled, “You’re right. This child should also be rewarded for washing vegetables and picking firewood. Previously, the teacher didn’t know about this, so we’ll make sure to give him the reward now.” With that, she said to Teacher Jiang, “Teacher Jiang, please write another certificate later, and let’s first reward him with a PLA backpack.”

“Okay,” Teacher Jiang immediately went to the office to get the PLA backpack.

Teacher Jiang quickly brought the PLA backpack, and the nursery head kindly put it on San Bao’s back.

“Thank… thank you, Grandma,” San Bao said obediently.

The nursery head was indeed old enough to be the grandmother of the three brothers, but it was also the first time she had been called grandma by a student, so when she heard San Bao’s address, she was a little stunned.

Then she smiled and patted his head, “Good child.”

This child is really cute and polite.

Seeing how the twins also take care of their younger brother, she thought to herself that there must be a good mother behind these three children.

So, she decided to recommend the mother of these three children to the principal to give an educational lesson to all the students, as Teacher Jiang had suggested.
