Chapter 232: It Might Be a Rollover
Chapter 232: It Might Be a Rollover
The teacher told her that last Sunday, but that was what happened to her mother.
The sensible Yuanyuan didn't say anything. After hearing what her daughter said, Ye Zhaozhao asked.
"You want to enter this drawing competition?"
Yuanyuan nodded. She had been studying with her teacher for a while, and the teacher praised her for her talent.
So she also wanted to participate in the competition to see her own strength.
"But the teacher said that the competition is not in Kyoto, but in Yancheng."
Yancheng is more than 500 kilometers away from here, and we will need to take a train to get there, Ye Zhaozhao asked Yuanyuan.
The competition happened to be on Sunday, and she promised Yuanyuan to take her to the competition.
Tuantuan, Manman and others were very happy to know that Yuanyuan was going to participate in the competition.
They surrounded Yuanyuan and asked her some questions about the competition, and the youngest one, Suisui, held Yuanyuan's hand.
"Sister, can you draw me first?"
Others thought Sui Sui was being unreasonable; they had seen Yuanyuan's paintings.
Most of her paintings are of small animals and flowers and plants.
They had never seen Yuanyuan draw a person, so Yuanyuan listened to her brother's request.
Naturally, he agreed without hesitation and immediately picked up the paintbrush next to him and started painting.
Half an hour later, everyone saw a new name, Sui Sui, on the paper. Even Sui Sui thought that this name looked too much like him.
Everyone surrounded Yuanyuan, hoping that she could draw a picture for them.
"You all get in line."
Ye Zhaozhao returned to the room and told Gu Yunduan that Yuanyuan was going to participate in the competition. Gu Yunduan thought that he could take a leave of absence that day to take them there.
"Wife, I will go with you then."
"it is good."
Ye Zhaozhao originally thought that if Gu Yunduan didn’t have time, she would accompany the child herself, as Gu Yunduan was there.
She felt more at ease, she didn't know, since the last accident.
Chief Liang would have wanted to assign a few people to protect her if he had known that she was going on a long trip this time.
Even if Gu Yunduan didn't say it, he would ask Gu Yunduan to follow him.
Gu's father and mother were also very excited when they knew Yuanyuan was going to participate in the competition. This was the child's first time to participate in a competition.
The two of them were even more nervous than Yuanyuan.
On the day of departure, Gu Yunduan and Ye Zhaozhao set off with Tuantuan Yuanyuan, as for Manman Nian Nian Sui Sui.
The three of them were left to be taken care of by Mr. and Mrs. Gu.
"You three should listen to your grandparents at home."
"I'll keep an eye on them, go ahead."
Gu Yunduan's orderly took them to the train station. Gu Yunduan had already bought the train tickets.
He asked his comrades to buy it for him. Knowing that he was taking his daughter to the competition, his comrades were happy for him.
So I bought him the tickets without hesitation. He and Ye Zhaozhao bought adult sleeper tickets, while Tuantuan and Yuanyuan bought children's tickets.
The four people got on the bus and found their seats. There happened to be a bed on the lower bunk, so Gu Yunduan asked Ye Zhaozhao to take her daughter to the lower bunk.
He and his son lived on the upper bunk. Gu Yunduan asked them to sit down and rest for a while while he went out to get some hot water.
After a while, Ye Zhaozhao heard a commotion outside, but she did not leave her child behind to go out and see.
When Gu Yunduan came back, she asked what happened outside. It turned out that there was a woman with a child.
Because the child did not buy a ticket, the conductor told her that she needed to buy a ticket.
But the woman was unwilling to pay the full ticket, only half the ticket, and said that her son was in elementary school.
Everyone looked at his height.
She doesn't look like a primary school student. She is almost 1.7 meters tall and obviously an adult. Everyone looks down on women's behavior of evading tickets.
The conductor became anxious and simply told her.
"If you don't pay for your fare, I'll have to ask you to get off the bus."
The people around her also began to urge her.
"Hurry up and buy your ticket. Stop standing here. You're blocking everyone's way."
"That's right, don't waste the conductor's time."
Seeing that everyone was talking about her, the woman finally bought the ticket reluctantly.
Then Ye Zhaozhao didn't expect that the woman would bring her son to their place.
Ye Zhaozhao understood that the woman also bought a sleeper ticket, but she just didn't understand why.
Since you can afford a sleeper ticket, do you still need to evade the fare?
The woman also saw Ye Zhaozhao and was amazed at first sight.
She had never seen such a beautiful woman before, and then looked at the two children beside her.
The children of these two people are very good-looking, and the woman just wanted to touch them.
Seeing Gu Yunduan’s dark face, the woman was so scared that she quickly retracted her hand and started chatting with Ye Zhaozhao.
"You two are so cute kids."
Ye Zhaozhao responded casually with a few words. Seeing that she didn't want to say more, the woman began to instruct her son.
"You have to draw well this time, okay? I heard there's a 500 yuan prize for the best drawing."
From the woman, Ye Zhaozhao learned that she was also taking her son to participate in the painting competition.
As for the bonus, Yuanyuan never mentioned it. She felt that painting was just painting, and if she only thought about money, she would probably be distracted.
"Do you understand."
The boy was a little impatient. He had already lost face by buying the ticket just now, and he didn't want to talk about it anymore.
They soon arrived at the restaurant and Gu Yunduan went out to get some food.
The woman didn't want to buy food at first, but she was thinking about what would happen if her son could get first place.
This amount of money is just a small amount, so I endured the pain and bought a meal for my son.
Then she ate the cold pancakes she brought in her bag and glanced at Ye Zhaozhao and the others casually. The child was also eating meat. The woman thought that this family was really generous.
Along the way, the woman wanted to talk to Ye Zhaozhao countless times, but Gu Yunduan was there.
She took back her words. For Ye Zhaozhao.
It’s a little more peaceful now. We’ve arrived at Yancheng and the competition will be held tomorrow morning.
Gu Yunduan and Ye Zhaozhao first took Yuanyuan to meet the teachers at the entrance of the guesthouse.
The teacher and two classmates were waiting for them. In addition to Yuanyuan, there were these two other students in the class participating in the competition. These three were selected by the teachers.
"Yuanyuan, try your best tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you teacher."
Thinking of the mother and son on the train, Ye Zhaozhao asked about the painting competition.
The teacher told her that there was no age limit for this competition.
So anyone who likes painting can sign up for the competition. That’s what it is.
Ye Zhaozhao understood and after greeting the teacher, they agreed to meet at the door at eight o'clock tomorrow morning.
Then they went to the scene together, and Ye Zhaozhao met the mother and son again in the guesthouse.
Because there are no restrictions this time, many people came to participate in the competition.
The woman panicked when she saw so many people coming to participate in the competition, and hurriedly asked her son to cram.
Let him go back to his room to paint, but Ye Zhaozhao didn't let Yuanyuan paint today.
They let her go to bed early so that she could get enough rest before going to the competition. They booked two rooms, and in the evening Gu Yunduan went to the restaurant to buy some food.
The next day, Yuanyuan woke up early. After making sure that she had slept well, Ye Zhaozhao took her to have breakfast.
Then we went to gather at the door and saw that the mother and son had also arrived.
The boy was still yawning, obviously he didn't get enough rest. Look at the dark circles under his eyes.
Maybe because he painted all night last night, Ye Zhaozhao felt that he might fail.
The teacher asked everyone to go to the competition venue, which was not far from here, so everyone chose to walk there.
After arriving, a teacher took Yuanyuan away, and Ye Zhaozhao and the others could only wait outside.
But the competition is in the classroom, and everyone can see the children through the glass.
Yuanyuan found a seat and sat down, then waited calmly.
As soon as the topic of the competition was announced, Yuanyuan quickly started drawing on paper.
Seeing her drawing on the paper in an orderly manner, Ye Zhaozhao and Gu Yunduan felt relieved.
Tuantuan silently cheered for his sister through the glass.
The topic this time is landscape painting, which Yuanyuan has never painted before.
But seeing how fast she painted, Ye Zhaozhao knew she was confident.
And Ye Zhaozhao guessed correctly, the woman’s son did not sleep well at night.
He kept rubbing his eyes during the exam and was obviously very sleepy.
Seeing how slowly he moved, Ye Zhaozhao thought that it was already very good that he could hand in the paper within the exam time.
Unexpectedly, she overestimated him. When it was time to hand in the paper, Ye Zhaozhao saw that he had only made a few strokes on the paper.
After submitting the drawings, the results will be available in the afternoon, and it is already noon now.
Ye Zhaozhao and Gu Yunduan took Tuantuan Yuanyuan to a state-owned restaurant for dinner.
Although this isn't in Kyoto, the food at state-owned restaurants is generally similar.
The two of them quickly ordered their favorite dishes.
The waiter saw that the two children were so cute, Ye Zhaozhao was pretty, and Gu Yunduan was wearing a military uniform.
So we were extra enthusiastic towards them and the dishes were served quickly.
As the four of them lowered their heads to eat, the woman on the train also came with her son.
Thinking about how hard her son had worked in the competition today, she generously ordered dumplings stuffed with cabbage and pork.
Seeing that the dumplings were served and her son hadn't moved, she quickly put the dumplings into his bowl.
The woman was satisfied only when she saw that most of the dumplings were in the man's bowl.
"Eat quickly, don't you love dumplings the most?"
The man lowered his head and started eating after hearing this, but a guilty look flashed across his face. If you looked closely.
You will find that his hands are shaking, and the man originally thinks he has done something wrong.
But seeing the woman so happy, he felt that he had done nothing wrong.
This idea became more and more firm in my mind, and then I ate dumplings in big mouthfuls.
After dinner, Ye Zhaozhao and the others did not return to the guesthouse, but went directly to the competition venue.
The results were to be announced in the afternoon, so Ye Zhaozhao and the others took a walk around.
When the time came, everyone went into the competition venue and took their seats. This time the results were announced.
So family members can come, and soon the teacher will start reading out names.
This competition is very simple. Only the top ten will get prize money. Those who are not in the top ten will not get any prize.
Those who heard their names couldn't believe it and went to collect their prizes excitedly.
Seeing that seven names had been called out and only three were left, Yuanyuan felt a little nervous.
Soon the second and third place winners were announced, but the second place winner turned out to be the woman’s son.
Ye Zhaozhao remembered that she was not mistaken at that time. The man didn't care about so many things when he heard her name.
Then we went to collect the prize money, and the second place only got 300 yuan.
Even so, the woman was extremely excited. She didn't expect her son to actually win the prize.
In the end, only the first place was left, and the teacher loudly announced that it was Gu Xiang.
Yuanyuan went on stage to receive the prize money. When the award ceremony was over, a girl suddenly covered her face in pain.
Everyone asked the reason, and it turned out that the girl was sad because she didn't make it into the top ten.
Seeing the girl crying, the man's face showed panic and he wanted to pull his mother away quickly, but it was too late.
The woman had already come over, and the girl's mother saw so many people gathering around.
She felt a little embarrassed because she knew her daughter and she often saw her daughter drawing.
She was always in a hurry to finish it, and she guessed that this time was the same reason.
"Yingzi, it doesn't matter if you didn't perform well this time. We still have a future."
"Mom, that's impossible. I think this is the best painting I've ever done."
After hearing her daughter say this, the woman had no choice but to go find the teacher and said she wanted to see her daughter's painting for the competition.
There are names on these paintings, and the teacher was sad to see the children crying.
It was found out. Yingzi's full name is Lu Yingzi. The teacher found the painting quickly, but just looking at the painting, everyone suspected that they had seen it wrong.
Because it looks like just a few random strokes, with such a result, there is no hope of making it into the top ten.
Those who have just learned to paint can draw better than this one. Looking at this painting, Ye Zhaozhao feels very familiar.
Lu Yingzi looked at the painting in front of her, stood up and walked to the teacher.
"Teacher, this is not my painting. I can't draw it like this."
The teacher thought it was a pity that she was not selected, but she just had to keep working hard in the future. At this time, Lu Yingzi's mother also stood up.
"Teacher, I have seen every one of my daughter's paintings. My daughter's paintings are usually more beautiful than this one when she practices.
Teacher, could someone have swapped my daughter's painting?
Lu Yingzi's mother reacted quickly, and Lu Yingzi did it to make the teacher believe her.
He even quickly drew a picture on the spot. Although it was a temporary drawing, it was obvious that Lu Yingzi drew very well.
Knowing the seriousness of the matter, the teachers said they would investigate it thoroughly.
Give them another explanation. Everyone could leave after the competition.
Now we can only stay here for now because of this matter. The teachers are also very sorry for causing such trouble to everyone.
They promised to get to the bottom of the matter as soon as possible.
As soon as the woman got the money, she took her son to the department store and took him shopping.
The man's mind was not on this at all. He was very nervous at the thought of the teachers investigating.
"Haochen, what are you standing there for? Go and try it."
The woman was holding a set of clothes, and Lu Haochen had no choice but to try it on.
When Ye Zhaozhao knew that the teachers were going to investigate the matter, he reminded them.
Because she saw it at that time, and then she took the children to play.
While playing, Tuan Tuan Yuan Yuan did not forget his younger brothers at home and bought toys for them.
Ye Zhaozhao also bought a set of clothes for Gu's father and mother.
As for her and Gu Yundu, it would be the same if they returned to Kyoto. The two children went to the park today.
When they came out to play, Ye Zhaozhao and Gu Yunduan let the two of them have enough fun.
As soon as they returned to the guesthouse, the two fell asleep, and Ye Zhaozhao was thinking about Lu Haochen.
I told Gu Yunduan about it, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen.
He was so focused on his daughter at the time that he didn't notice it.
Gu Yunduan thought that although this competition was small, once this kind of thing was discovered.
"This Lu Haochen will not be able to participate in the competition anymore."
Ye Zhaozhao did not express any opinion until the results came out.
The next day, the teacher called them over and said that the investigation results were out.
Lu Haochen was sweating the whole time.
As soon as everyone came in and sat down, the teacher called Lu Haochen to the stage. The woman didn't know why the teacher asked her son to come to the stage.
Just thought I'd praise him.
Unexpectedly, the teacher's next words were like a bucket of cold water poured down.
The woman stood there for a long time, unable to come back to her senses, and finally spoke with the last bit of hope.
"Teacher, you said that it was my Haochen who switched Lu Yingzi's paintings. Do you have any evidence?"
Lu Yingzi's mother and Lu Yingzi were very angry and started to argue immediately.
"This painting is the evidence. Your son swapped the paintings. As a mother, shouldn't you come forward and apologize first?"
The woman still didn't believe it, and looked at Lu Haochen, asking with the last bit of hope.
"Son, did you really do this?"
