Chapter 23 Mother's Shock

In a blink of an eye, it was the weekend and the school was on holiday. Shen Yi and Wang Yanran returned to Jinjia Village together.

Because Wang Yanran's home was closer to Shen Yi's, Shen Yi sent Wang Yanran back to Wang Yanran's door first.

Wang Yanran stood at the door of her house, waved to Shen Yi, and bid farewell to Shen Yi: "Brother Yi, I'm going home first, I'll go play with you when I have time!"

Shen Yi also waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can go home first, come to my house when you have time!"

"Goodbye, brother Yi, be careful on the road!"

"Oh, I see."

Seeing Wang Yanran walking into the house and disappearing from his eyes, Shen Yi also turned and left, walking towards his house.

Shen Yi returned to his home, opened the door and walked in, and saw his mother watering the vegetables in the yard.

There is an open space in the yard of Shen Yi’s house. Shen Yi’s mother planted some vegetables on this open space, including tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, peppers and other vegetables. When these vegetables are mature, these vegetables can be eaten Now, Shen Yi's family no longer needs to go grocery shopping.

Shen Yi said to his mother who was watering: "Mom, I'm back!"

Shen Yi's mother heard Shen Yi's voice, looked up and saw Shen Yi came back with his schoolbag on his back, Shen Yi's mother stopped watering, and said to Shen Yi: "Yi'er, you are on vacation, are you hungry? You haven't eaten since you came back from vacation, mom is going to cook for you now!"

Shen Yi put down his schoolbag, took the bucket from his mother, and said, "Okay, Mom, go cook for me first, and I'll help you water these vegetables!"

"Yi'er, don't worry about watering these vegetables, just take a rest when you come back, and water the vegetables after Mom finishes cooking."

Shen Yi said while pouring water: "It's okay, Mom, I'm not tired, I'm idle anyway!"

Shen Yi's mother smiled: "You child, it's up to you, after you water these vegetables, go to rest!"

"Understood, Mom, I'm hungry, so go and cook!"

"You pour the water slowly, mom will cook for you!" Shen Yi's mother walked into the kitchen and went to cook for Shen Yi.

Shen Yi picked up the bucket and watered all the vegetables in a short time. He walked into the kitchen and said to his mother who was cooking: "Mom, I've finished watering. What else should I do?"

"It's over so quickly, there's nothing to do now, you wash your hands first, the rice will be ready in no time!"

Shen Yi's mother quickly cooked the meal and brought it to the dining table. The dishes were home-cooked dishes, scrambled eggs with tomato, cold cucumber, and a plate of pickled vegetables.

Shen Yi finished class at noon, went home without having lunch, and sat in the car for more than an hour. Now that he was already hungry, Shen Yi took out the steamed buns and started to eat them hungrily.

At the dinner table, Shen Yi's mother asked Shen Yi about his recent studies.

"Yi Er, after returning to school this time, how is your study going? You have been resting at home for two months, can you keep up with your studies?"

Shen Yi ate the meal made by his mother and replied: "Mom, don't worry, you can keep up with your studies. Mom, I tell you some good news. Don't get excited after hearing it!"

"What good news, you're still playing riddles for mom!" Shen Yi's mother looked at Shen Yi lovingly.

"Mom, I got a score of 666 in this mock test, No. 1 in the class and No. 10 in the school!" Shen Yi told his mother about his results in the exam.

Shen Yi's mother was taken aback when she heard Shen Yi's test results, and raised her voice and asked, "How many points, Yi Er, did you say that you got 660 points in this mock test?"

Shen Yi looked at his mother who was shocked by his test scores, and replied affirmatively: "Yes mom, you heard me right, I got 660 points in this mock test!"

"Really, Mom heard right!" Shen Yi's mother asked again uncertainly.

"It's true, mom, you heard me right!" Shen Yi replied affirmatively again.

After repeated confirmations, Shen Yi's mother finally believed that Shen Yi actually got a good score of 666 in the test, put up her thumbs up and said to Shen Yi: "Good son, mom is so proud of you!" In the evening, Mom will take you to eat delicious food to celebrate your achievements. How did you do it this time?"

"Mom, after this car accident, I seem to have suddenly become enlightened, and my study is much easier than before!"

"Really, but this is a good thing for you. You have to study hard, and don't be complacent just because you got a good grade in the exam this time!"

"Got it, mom, don't you still know me? I'm the kind of person who will be proud and complacent."

After eating, Shen Yi took out his bank card from his schoolbag and handed it to his mother.

Shen Yi's mother took the bank card Shen Yi handed over with some doubts, and asked, "Yi'er, this is it?"

"Mom, there is 500 yuan in it, and now I will hand it over to you?"

Shen Yi's mother was very surprised when she heard that there was nearly [-] in deposits in the bank card. Did the child Shen Yi do something bad with the money he got from there? Did he pick it up or steal it?

Shen Yi's mother couldn't help asking anxiously: "You child, where did you get so much money, did you do something bad?"

Shen Yi looked at the anxious mother, and then explained: "Mom, where did you think you were? Didn't you teach me to be an upright person and be willing to help others since I was a child! This is because I did a good deed and helped the police catch me. Criminal, the police rewarded me."

Shen Yi's mother heard that the money in the card turned out to be a bonus. Shen Yi helped the police catch the criminal, and the police rewarded Shen Yi with the bonus. Shen Yi's mother felt relieved.

However, what kind of criminals are the police rewarding Shen Yi with so much money? Shen Yi's mother asked Shen Yi, "Yi'er, why did the police reward you so much money!"

Shen Yi didn't want his mother to worry, so he shrugged and said, "I don't know why the police rewarded so much money."

Hearing that Shen Yi didn't know the reason, maybe some important criminal, Shen Yi's mother thought in her heart.

"Mom, why bother with so much money, as long as the money is paid properly and not ill-gotten gains. With this money, you can buy whatever you want, Mom."

"You child, how can you spend this money indiscriminately? I will keep it for you first. This is your college money!"

"Mom, just go ahead and spend it. I don't have enough money. After I go to college, I can still work and earn money!"

"Go, what nonsense!"

Shen Yi's mother and son began to happily discuss the use of the money.
