Chapter 86: Astonishing the Teachers for a Century! (Part 1/2)

Tang Long and his wife sat on the sofa, looking at the two children busying themselves in the kitchen, feeling especially gratified.

“Husband, do you think how many lifetimes of good fortune we had to accumulate to have such a sensible child like Little Feng?” Tang Feng’s Mother sighed.

“Little Feng’s recent performance has indeed been getting better and better. Wife, it seems our days ahead will be even better. My goodness, I have to say, the Education Bureau is really generous, awarding Little Feng two hundred thousand all at once. If this were a regular person working, it might take over a decade to earn that much,” Tang Long couldn’t stop smiling.

“It’s true what they say! ‘In books, one finds a house of gold, in books, one finds beauty.’ Look at Little Feng, ever since he achieved good results, not only did he get into Jingcheng University, but he also received such a high bonus. Moreover, his relationship with Xiaoli has progressed by leaps and bounds. It seems reading more books is always right. Knowledge is wealth. If we had been more educated, we would definitely be living better than now,” Tang Feng’s Mother said all in one breath.

“Our situation was different from theirs. Back in our day, many people didn’t even finish elementary school. A lot of people were illiterate. Most people didn’t continue their education after middle school. As for the university admission rate, it was pitifully low. A class might only have one or two who got in,” Tang Long explained.

“Enough with the excuses! Little Feng got into Jingcheng University! There aren’t many in a province who can do that!” Tang Feng’s Mother glanced at him and rebuked without mincing her words.

“That’s true,” Tang Long nodded, “But Little Feng going to Jingcheng University, facing so many excellent classmates, he might be under a lot of pressure. I hope he can adapt quickly.”

“He will definitely be under a lot of pressure. After all, not only is he the top scorer in Dongshan Province, but he also scored full marks. If his academic performance in university is not good, the pressure will indeed be huge,” Tang Feng’s Mother suddenly worried.

“There’s nothing we can do about that. In a class, there’s always a first and a last place. Even if a class is full of geniuses, there must be a distinction between good and bad. But I believe our son will definitely stand out!” Tang Long was full of confidence.

“Anyway, I still think as long as he’s happy, that’s good. Now that he’s been admitted to the Jingcheng University, as long as he graduates smoothly, he will definitely be able to find a good job. Supporting a wife and children won’t be a problem,” Tang Feng’s Mother said, glancing towards the kitchen unconsciously.

“Don’t think too much. He hasn’t even started school yet,” Tang Long laughed.

By then, the meal was ready.

Tang Feng called his parents to come and eat.

Everyone sat at the dining table, eating and chatting.

After dinner, Tang Long and his wife rested for a while, then headed to the restaurant.

“Xiaoli, do you want to take a nap?” Tang Feng asked proactively.

“What about you?”

“I think I’ll sleep for a bit. I didn’t sleep well last night and feel a bit sleepy,” Tang Feng answered.

“Then let’s nap together. But make sure your hands behave, don’t touch randomly, or I won’t be able to sleep peacefully,” Su Xiaoli warned him.

“Don’t worry! I’ll definitely behave!” Tang Feng quickly promised.

Then, the two went to the bedroom and lay down on the bed for a midday rest.

With such a delicate beauty lying beside him, Tang Feng couldn’t fall asleep.

He felt somewhat restless.

Tossing and turning from time to time.

Su Xiaoli, on the other hand, slept soundly.

Mid-nap, she directly hugged Tang Feng, draping a leg over him, completely using him as a pillow.

A bitter smile appeared on Tang Feng’s lips.

Time passed by the minute and second.

Tang Feng didn’t know when he fell asleep.

When he woke up, he found himself lying on Su Xiaoli’s legs.

He quickly sat up instinctively.

“Did you sleep well?” Su Xiaoli asked with a smile on her face.

“When did you wake up?” Tang Feng felt somewhat embarrassed.

“I just woke up not long ago. I should head home soon,” Su Xiaoli answered.

“Ah? What time is it now?” Tang Feng was surprised.

“It’s five in the afternoon.”

“Really? Did I sleep that long?”

“It’s okay. You’ve been quite busy lately. You must take care to not overexert yourself,” Su Xiaoli advised him.

“I know,” Tang Feng nodded, “I’ll take you home in a bit.”

“What time are you going to the restaurant tomorrow morning?” Su Xiaoli asked.

“I need to buy groceries first, then head over. Probably around eight,” Tang Feng answered.

“You’re not planning to cook yourself, are you?” Su Xiaoli guessed.

“Exactly!” Tang Feng nodded, “I want to personally prepare a lavish meal to treat the teachers.”

“What about Uncle Tang and the others? Will they join?” Su Xiaoli asked.

“Of course! You can keep the teachers company and chat with them while I cook,” Tang Feng answered.

“Okay!” Su Xiaoli readily agreed.

Then, Tang Feng stood up and took her home.

Su Gang was cooking at home.

Seeing his precious daughter return, he quickly came out of the kitchen.

“Hi, Dad!” Su Xiaoli greeted.

“Where have you been? You didn’t spend the whole day at Little Feng’s place, did you?” Su Gang asked with a smile.

“Not the whole day, just half a day! In the morning, I went with him to the school for the opening ceremony of the senior students,” Su Xiaoli answered.

“I almost forgot about that. How did it feel to sit on stage?” Su Gang inquired.

“It was okay. Just a bit nervous. All the leaders were sitting there. Luckily, Tang Feng was sitting beside me, otherwise, I might not have been able to stay seated,” Su Xiaoli admitted shyly.

“Little Feng must not have been nervous. That child will definitely achieve great things in the future. Xiaoli, you should learn from him,” Su Gang earnestly advised his daughter.

“I know,” Su Xiaoli nodded, “He is my role model, my guiding light.”

“You!” Su Gang glanced at her, then turned back to the kitchen.

Soon, he finished cooking.

“By the way, Dad, this is for you!” Su Xiaoli placed a cheque on the table.

“Ten thousand yuan?” Su Gang picked it up and was surprised.

“Yes!” Su Xiaoli nodded, “Tang Feng’s bonus was two hundred thousand, and mine was one hundred thousand.”

“He’s the top scorer in Dongshan Province, so it’s normal for his bonus to be higher. What do you plan to do with this bonus?” Su Gang asked with interest.

“I haven’t decided yet. Tang Feng plans to use his bonus to buy a car for his parents.

Maybe I should buy you something?” Su Xiaoli discussed with her father.

“I don’t lack anything. You should keep it for yourself. Little Feng is really filial, not only buying a house for his parents but also a car. If it were other kids, nine out of ten wouldn’t be so generous,” Su Gang responded.

“Yes! Tang Feng is really incomparable when it comes to being filial to his parents. I really need to learn from him,” Su Xiaoli nodded.
