With a laugh, Gu Ye grabbed a large portion of noodles and piled them high in Chu Qiao’s bowl.

Chu Qiao objected right away, saying, “I can’t finish that much! Don’t add more to my bowl!

Gu Ye was smiling as if he had gotten away with something as she put the noodles back into his bowl. 

She gave him an irritated look as soon as she realized. 

His IQ was no more than a year higher than Xiaobao’s.

Dabao scowled and twisted his lip. 

Uncle Gu was really immature. Even over a bowl of noodles, he had to compete with him and his younger brother for affection. That was the best he could do. 

“Auntie, the school is holding a parent-teacher meeting at 02:30 this afternoon. The teacher said parents should come if possible.” 

Dabao smiled proudly, then added, “Auntie, our midterm results came out.”

“How did you do?” Chu Qiao asked with concern. 

“Not bad, I guess.”

Dabao said it lightly, but the smug little look in his eyes gave away how excited he really was. 

Pretending not to notice, Chu Qiao purposefully asked, “Not bad implies what place? Were you among the top twenty?”

Dabao was in the bottom half of the class at the end of the previous semester. 

This semester, Chu Qiao hadn’t raised the bar too much. It would be sufficient to place in the top twenty. 

You had to eat buns one bite at a time. So, you couldn’t expect him to fly into the sky all at once.

“Auntie, can’t you have a little more faith in me? Maybe think of the top ten?” 

Dabao got anxious. 

What was top twenty supposed to mean? He didn’t even care about that. Auntie was looking down on him way too much.

“Well now, listen to that, looking down on the top twenty? Zhou Shengli, you’re getting cocky.” 

Gu Ye smacked Dabao on the head, teasing him. 

Last semester he’d been near the bottom, and now this semester he was already sneering at the top twenty? This kid was getting a bit full of himself.

Gu Ye’s highest performance back then was placing twentieth in his first-grade. He had never again exceeded it after that. 

And now this brat was actually looking down on twentieth place? Hmph. He’s asking to be smacked.

“Not at all. Anyway, I did better than the twentieth.” 

Dabao refused to say exactly what place he got. He wanted to give Auntie a surprise.

Chu Qiao understood immediately. Children loved praise, and Dabao had clearly done very well. 

She would know for sure once she attended the parent-teacher meeting that afternoon, so she smiled and said, “Then I’ll be at the school on time this afternoon.”

She asked again, “What rank did Gu Wen get?”

Dabao instantly lit up. 

“Forty-second. Sixth from the bottom!”

Chu Qiao’s mood immediately improved. That little brat’s grades were even worse than in her previous life. She felt incredibly satisfied.

Feeling a little sour, Xiaobao ate his noodles in silence. 

Why wasn’t his school holding a parent-teacher conference like his brother’s?

He also wanted Auntie to attend his parent-teacher conference. 

He planned to ask the teacher when they would have one and whether it might be held earlier once he started school.

Gu Ye wolfed down his noodles, wiped his mouth, and went off to work. 

Zheng Yuqiang’s twenty machine tools had all been shipped to the factory, but they still hadn’t been installed and tested. 

He had been keeping an eye on them every day, making sure each machine met standards.

After seeing Dabao and Xiaobao off to school, Chu Qiao was specially reminded by Dabao not to forget the parent-teacher meeting.

“Don’t worry. I’ll definitely be there at 02:30 sharp.” Chu Qiao promised. 

If you made a promise to a child, you had to keep your word or the child would stop trusting adults.

Only then did Dabao go into school at ease. 

He ran off, chasing and roughhousing with a few little boys, and Chu Qiao smiled knowingly at the sight. 

The current Dabao was much happier than he had been in her previous life. 

Back then, she had seen him at school a few times. Though he had also been noisy and active, she had always felt there was a heaviness in his heart. 

He had never truly opened himself up, and he lacked some of the innocence a child ought to have.
