59 Chapter 58, Suspected of Cheating

Ji Zi’ang looked at the questions one by one and felt that he could do it.

It was the same with Chinese, Mathematics, and English.

After taking the three exams, Ji Zi’ang was full of confidence.

When he returned home at night, he bragged to Li Xu, “Mom, I can do all the questions this time. I’ll definitely do well, what will you reward me then?”

Li Xu looked at Ji Zi’ang suspiciously. She was really unsure whether her son really knew all the answers or was just bragging.

She thought for a moment, “That depends on what rank you get. The greater your progress, the greater the reward. If you can get into the top 40, I’ll buy you a box of biscuits. If you can get into the top 30, I’ll take you to the mall and buy you whatever you want to eat, how about that?”

There were a total of 46 students in the class. Ji Zi’ang was ranked 46th in the final exam last time.

If he could really get into the top 30 this time, it would be considered a huge improvement.

That was why Li Xu only said this. She did not even dare to think that Ji Zi’ang could get into the top 20.

Ji Zi’ang waved his small hand, “Then let’s wait until the results are out. The teacher said that the results will be out tomorrow.”

Ji Yuanyuan was deep in thought.

Everyone’s results were released at noon the next day.

Ji Zixuan was naturally the first in the class.

Ji Yuanyuan did not want to be too high-profile, so she deliberately made a few mistakes during the exam and was ranked 23rd in the class.

As for Ji Zi’ang…

Li Xu looked at the report card in disbelief, her eyes slightly red.

A moment later, she suddenly stepped forward, picked Ji Zi’ang up, and kissed him hard on the cheek, “Son, you’re so good. Whatever you want to eat, I’ll buy it for you!”

Ji Zi’ang’s results this time were really unexpected.

He had actually gotten 18th place in the class.

Li Xu had never expected this ranking.

She had thought that her son would only be able to rank 37th or 38th. Who would have thought that Ji Zi’ang would be so capable?

Ji Zi’ang smiled embarrassedly in Li Xu’s arms, “There are many questions that Big Brother has taught me before.”

Li Xu was so happy that she did not hear Ji Zi’ang’s words at all.

After a moment, she put Ji Zi’ang down and asked, “Zi’ang, tell me what you want, I’ll buy it for you this afternoon.”

Ji Yuanyuan stood at the side and looked at Ji Zi’ang with a smile.

She thought that Ji Zi’ang would definitely want to buy food. After all, Ji Zi’ang was a true foodie.

However, to everyone’s surprise, after a moment of hesitation, Ji Ziang said, “Mom, can you reward me with a washing machine?”

Li Xu was stunned for a moment and said in disbelief, “Washing machine?”

Ji Yuanyuan was also stunned. Could it be that Ji Zi’ang had heard his conversation with Li Xu that day?

Otherwise, why would he suddenly mention washing machines?

However, Ji Yuanyuan quickly understood.

“Why did you suddenly think of buying a washing machine?” Li Xu asked.

Ji Zi’ang chuckled foolishly, “My Deskmate said that he has a washing machine at home. As long as you put the dirty clothes in, they will become clean after half an hour. That’s why his mother’s hands are so tender and smooth.”

After hesitating for a moment, Ji Zi’ang said, “Mommy, if our family has enough money, let’s buy a washing machine? You don’t have to wash clothes by hand every day. You can save a lot of time, and your hands will also become white and tender.”

He pulled Li Xu’s arm and whispered coquettishly, “Mommy, let’s buy one.”

Seeing this, Ji Yuanyuan also struck while the iron was hot. She stepped forward and grabbed Li Xu’s other hand, “Mommy, let’s buy one, everyone has one at home.”

Ji Zixuan naturally knew that his younger brother and sister wanted to buy a washing machine for his mother’s sake.

Although Li Xu was touched, she was reluctant to buy one. She had plenty of time anyway, so it was not particularly troublesome to wash clothes. Washing machines were not cheap., with this money, she might as well buy a television set for the children.

“How about Mommy buys a television set? The screen is so big, and it’s also colorful. You can watch a lot of cartoons and TV series!” Li Xu gestured.

Ji Zi’ang was shaken for a moment when he heard this.

However, he quickly came back to his senses. It was better to buy a washing machine.

He touched Li Xu’s hand with some heartache. It was cracked and wrinkled.

His deskmate said that his mother did not wash clothes. Her hands were very pretty, just like the hands of a celebrity.

“No, no, I want a washing machine.”Ji Zi’ang shook his head.

..

Li Xu could not help but be persuaded by the three children. She had indeed saved a few Yuans.

In the end, she gritted her teeth and said, “Okay, when you guys were on a weekend holiday, let’s go take a look and buy a washing machine, how about it?”

Hearing this, Ji Zi’ang cheered, “Okay, Mommy is the best.”

Li Xu looked at the children in front of her with an ironed heart.

At this moment, Ji Zi’ang was so happy that he could not find his bearings. However, the next day, it was a tragedy.

His homeroom teacher, Teacher Xu, called him to the office early in the morning.

“Ji Zi’ang, good students can’t lie, right?” Teacher Xu asked him very gently.

Although Ji Zi’ang was a little confused, he still nodded his head firmly. “Yes, my Mommy also said that a good student can’t lie.”

“Then tell me, did you cheat during the exam?” Teacher Xu’s tone was still very gentle.

However, when Ji Zi’ang looked at the teacher’s face, the smile on his face instantly froze.

Sometimes, people were very strange. Ji Zi’ang had always been heartless and did not think too much about many things.

However, just now, he suddenly understood.

The teacher felt that his ability was not good. If he had not cheated, he definitely would not have been able to get his current rank.

The teacher looked down on him.

There was a stuffy feeling in his chest that made him not want to speak.

He lowered his head and felt that his eyes were swollen and a little sore.

Ji Zi’ang’s lowered head made Teacher Xu feel that he had a guilty conscience.

The young male teacher sighed slightly and took a step forward to grab Ji Zi’ang’s wrist, he pulled him forward, “Ji Zi’ang, it’s not embarrassing if you don’t study well. Let’s take it slow. As long as you’re willing to learn, your grades will definitely improve in the future. You’re a smart student and a good kid. You shouldn’t do something like this?”

This teacher had just graduated a few years ago, and he was currently at a hot-blooded age.

Originally, he did not think too much about it. After all, he could tell that Ji Zi’ang had never been a stupid student. It was just that he did not like learning, which was why his grades had been at the bottom for so long.

He had heard from the other teachers that Ji Zixuan, who was in the fifth grade, was his biological brother. He had thought that it was because Ji Zixuan was tutoring him during the winter break that his grades had soared.

However, some students in the class had said that they had personally seen Ji Zi’ang flip through a book during his exams.

He had only asked with a skeptical attitude.
