In the past, the Bao family could be said to be a little poor: the two lived in a small house infested with insects and ants, and there was only one old Bao in the family, who was currently in the Qin Mansion, and received a considerable salary of six or seven yuan.

If nothing else, Bao Guowei should take over Lao Bao's class and continue to be a "house slave" for Master Qin, or find a hard job outside, maybe he can mix two or three oceans a month.

At that time, the only way out of the status quo was undoubtedly to ask Bao Guowei to study in the new school, if he could get a good grade, successfully graduated from the provincial middle school, and was fortunate enough to get an official to be a job, the family's situation would naturally be much better.

And today's Bao family, compared with the past, is undoubtedly much wealthier, not to mention food and clothing, it is okay to eat meat every meal, not only moved into a clean and spacious house in the west of the city, but even has spare money to hire people to serve and live.

Obviously, for this family, it is no longer important whether Bao Guowei's grades are good or not.

Even if Bao Guowei does not become an official, the thousands of surplus wealth in the family are enough to support the family to live a happy life.

Therefore, Bao Guowei's first place in the school this time seems to be just a matter worth celebrating for a few days - it stands to reason that this is the case.

But this time, Lao Bao's reaction was a little beyond Bao Guowei's expectations.

After reading this report card, Lao Bao not only shed some tears, but even got up from the sofa with some excitement.

Probably because the food is not good, plus when people are old, their height is easy to shrink, and Lao Bao is not even as tall as Bao Guowei today, and he even needs to raise his head slightly when he looks at Bao Guowei.

Bao Guowei felt that Lao Bao looked at him with some gratitude?

What Lao Bao was thinking in his heart, Bao Guowei couldn't guess, but he could always see some complicated emotions in Lao Bao's eyes.

"Guowei, we are the Bao family, and we will ...... Finally there is a first! ”

Probably because he was too excited, Bao Zheng's voice became a little strange, he said while wiping the corners of his eyes and chin with his clean brown cotton sleeves, ignoring the etiquette that the "master" should have, and habitually wiping his pants with a hand that had wiped his tears.

Looking at Lao Bao's somewhat excited appearance, Bao Guowei didn't know how to face it, just at this time, there was a cooing sound in his stomach, so he simply said hello to Lao Bao, and went up to find some food to eat.

Lao Bao is holding this report card in his hand, and he walks on the marble floor with a pair of hard-soled fur shoes, making a "da-da-da" sound.

Probably thinking that it was not bright enough, Lao Bao walked to the living room under the palace lamp with the report card and continued to watch.

However, the clever maid Xiaoxiu immediately played her duty, and she immediately rushed to Lao Bao's side, always ready to hand over the brocade cloth to the master's family to wipe her tears.

With the light emitted by the palace lamp, Lao Bao could see the words on the paper more clearly, and he read the words on this report card over and over again - reading Bao Guowei's results.

"Gewu, 100 points - A."

"Mandarin, ninety-two points—A."

"Chemistry, 100 points - A."

"History, 100 points - A."

"Western, ninety-seven points - A."

"Arithmetic, 100 points - A."

Lao Bao looked at the word "A" on this report card, and his expression was a little trance-in this "A" as if he saw his appearance when he was a child.

He remembered that when he was young, he competed with Master Qin about who was the "first handsome man in the world".

At the age of eight, Lao Bao provoked the eldest of the children, and was grabbed by the neck and slapped him in the mouth.

It was also at that time that Lao Bao's title of "Child King" became a joke, and even some of the children couldn't raise their heads.

The original heart was completely destroyed by the slap and stick of the slave of the master's family, and turned into an obsession in the heart, buried deep in the heart of this person, and as he got older, even this obsession was about to dissipate......

Bao Guowei took the first exam this time, not only the first in the class, but also the first in the whole school, which may have realized the wish of the old bag buried in his heart for a long time, and even he had to forget.

"Good first place, good first place! Good first place! ”

Lao Bao's eyes were still fixed on this report card, and his mouth repeated this passage.

Talking about it in his mouth, Lao Bao suddenly remembered one thing - this exam paper is for parents to sign.

Thinking of this, Lao Bao's mood was even more excited, so he took out the pencil he bought yesterday in the "Dacui Stationery Store" from the pocket of his big cotton clothes, walked to the desk by the window in the living room and sat down.

He tidied up his clothes, "sat on the placket", and wanted to write the word "Bao Zheng" on the report card seriously, but the pencil tip was about to fall, but it suddenly hovered in the air.

Lao Bao returned to his bedroom, opened his door, and looked at the photo of Guowei Niang hanging on the wall.

At that time, the photo cost a lot of money, sealed in transparent glass, and the old bag often wiped to preserve the glass mirror of the photo, and often took the photo to the sun for a while.

So even though the photo is a teenager, it looks like new.

Lao Bao took off the old black cloth hat that he had worn for more than ten years, put it on the table, and said such a sentence to this photo.

After "telling" this matter to Guo Wei Niang, Lao Bao finally returned to the table in the living room, and wrote the word "Bao Zheng" on the report card with a serious expression.

After all, Bao Zheng has never practiced calligraphy, and even writing has only recently been learned, and even the posture of holding a pencil is not right, which is like the appearance of Bao Guowei when he first learned to write.

looked at Bao Guowei's report card with his name on it, but Lao Bao thought about it and felt that it was not enough, so he wrote the words "Wang Cuilian" again, which was signed instead of Guowei's mother.

Even if Lao Bao tried his best to write this character neatly, the final product was still crooked, just like the first time Bao Guowei wrote it when he was a child.

The paper when Bao Guowei first learned to write, the old bag is still preserved today.

is also the same word as a dog, one is from Bao Guowei when he was young, and the other is from Bao Zheng who "got a new life".

The only thing that remains unchanged is that these two pieces of paper, no matter how much money you take in exchange for them - ten yuan, a hundred yuan, even if it is more, the old bag will not be changed.

In the end, Lao Bao found that on the reverse side of this report card, there was also a line of small print:

"Bao Guowei, a student in the fourth class of the first grade of Suzhou Zhicheng Provincial Middle School, has achieved a total of six in this weekly test, with a total score of 589 points, ranking first in the school, with excellent results, and a scholarship of 10 yuan will be awarded for encouragement."
