Chapter 381 Fulfilling the Promise

Zhang Hongyan quickly found Goudan's loophole: "The final exam results haven't come out yet, how do you know you can be among the top three in the class?".

Goudan choked and quickly argued: "I...I have confidence in myself. If I can get into the top three, you must agree to my raising a dog."

"Okay, let's wait until your results come out," Zhang Hongyan compromised.

If Goudan could really get into the top three in the class, then she would have no choice but to agree to him getting a dog.

After all, you can't be unfaithful in front of your children. In this way, you will no longer have prestige in front of Gou Dan. The most important thing is that it will destroy your image in Gou Dan's heart.

"Great." Goudan jumped up and down happily. Although he was not sure whether he could get into the top three in the class, he had more hope.

The next day, Goudan and Danniu went to grandma's house again.

Goudan told Grandma Danniu about the agreement between him and his mother, and asked pitifully: "Grandma, can you help me keep the puppy for a few more days?".

"That's right, grandma, just give Goudan a few more days." Daniel also helped Goudan to say good things.

Grandma Daniel nodded kindly: "Okay, but no more than a week."

"No problem, thank you grandma," Goudan said happily.

If his prediction was correct, the Red Army should have sent the letter by now, and he would know his final exam results in a few days.

Thinking of this, Goudan suddenly became nervous. In fact, he was not 100% confident in himself, but there was no other way to get Zhang Hongyan to agree to him raising a dog.

Xia Qingqing taught Goudan for three consecutive days, and he finally learned how to ride a bicycle.

It's said to be three days, but it only means studying for about an hour in the evening every day, which is pretty fast.

Goudan was so happy that he couldn't see his teeth. Xia Qingqing gave him a thumbs up without hesitation: "That's right. You practice hard. In the future, we will go out together and it will be you who will carry me."

"Okay, no problem," Goudan said very confidently.

Xia Qingqing practiced with him for a while, until he stopped swaying when riding the bike, and then she felt comfortable letting him ride alone.

"Then I'll go back first. You should be careful not to ride too far. It will get dark later." Xia Qingqing did not forget to explain before leaving.

Goudan tapped one foot on the ground, held the bicycle at an angle, and nodded obediently: "I understand, sister, don't worry, I'll be back after riding for a while."

As soon as Xia Qingqing left, Goudan immediately rode his bicycle to Daniel's house.

Hehe, of course he has to share such a big thing with his good friends when he learns to ride a bicycle.

Danniu looked at Goudan, who was riding majesticly on the bicycle, and couldn't help but show envy: "Wow, Goudan, you are so awesome."

When Goudan heard what Daniel said, he immediately parked his bicycle in front of him, patted his chest and said, "I'll practice for two more days, and then I can teach you."

"Okay", Daniel nodded happily.

Goudan played at Daniel's house for a while, teasing Xiao Huang, who was from Daniel's house. When he came home, it was already half dark.

He was not very skilled in riding a bike, and his front tire accidentally hit a small stone, causing the bike to fall to one side in an instant.

With a bang, the man and the car fell to the ground. Goudan's little face immediately wrinkled into a bun: "Hey~ What bad luck."

He fell down on the first day he learned to drive, and nothing happened in the next two days. He thought he would never fall again, but now that he has learned how to drive, he fell again.

And it happened that the last time he fell, he injured his left hand and left foot. This time, he injured his right hand and right foot, and all his limbs were restored.

Xia Heping came out of the bathroom to take a shower and saw Goudan limping back pushing his bicycle.

He quickly stepped forward and took the bicycle from Goudan's hand: "What's wrong? I fell down again."

Goudan pursed his lips and nodded: "The tire hit a stone on the road and fell."

"It's okay, you're not proficient yet. You'll be fine once you ride a few more times." Xia Heping touched his head comfortingly.

Xia Heping pulled Goudan into the room and asked Zhang Hongyan, who was lying on the bed: "Daughter-in-law, where did you put the purple liquid? Goudan fell again, I will give him some purple liquid."

"Falled again?" Zhang Hongyan's eyes suddenly widened and her gaze swept over Goudan's hands and feet.

When applying the medicine, Zhang Hongyan couldn't help but feel a little distressed when she saw the wounds on her son's knees and elbows: "You should be more careful next time you ride a bicycle. It only took a few days for the injuries to become like this."

Goudan glanced at his mother in surprise. He thought her mother would scold him.

The area where the medicine had just been applied should not be touched with water. Xia Heping was afraid that Goudan would be inconvenient to take a bath, so he directly asked him to sit in the basin and gave him a combat bath.

By the time Xia Qingqing knew that Goudan had fallen again, it was already the next day.

Xia Qingqing looked at his limbs covered with purple liquid, and felt inexplicably sad and a little funny: "Does it still hurt? If I had known, I would have practiced with you yesterday."

"The pain has stopped a long time ago. It was because I was not careful while riding on my own. It doesn't matter whether you practice with me or not. You still have to wrestle when you have to." Goudan said with a smile, with a nonchalant tone.

Because he was injured again, Goudan was banned from riding a bicycle for the past two days. At least he should recover from his injury, otherwise he would have no place to fall again.

Goudan simply stopped going out to play and stayed at home to do his summer homework. Zhang Hongyan was very pleased to see that he was so well-behaved, and asked Xia Heping to go to the county to buy bones and make soup to replenish him.

Three days later, Goudan finally received the letter from Tian Hongjun and couldn't wait to open the envelope.

There were three pieces of letter paper in the envelope. The first two were Tian Hongjun greeting him and sharing his summer life, but Goudan skipped them mercilessly.

He turned directly to the third piece of letter paper, and after a moment he cheered happily: "Hahaha, I can raise a puppy!!!".

Seeing him so happy, Xia Qingqing knew that he must have achieved his goal: "The letter said where did you get in the exam?"

"Third place", Goudan gestured towards her.

Although he was tied for third place with another classmate, he was still the real third place.

"That's really good." Xia Qingqing gave Goudan a thumbs up and cashed in his reward - 2 yuan.

Goudan held the 2 yuan and narrowed his eyes when he smiled: "Hey, thank you sister."

Then he looked at Zhang Hongyan with big shining eyes: "Mom, can you fulfill your promise?"

Zhang Hongyan was very happy about her son's academic progress. When she heard his words, she coughed twice uncomfortably: "Ahem...cough, go and bring him back. But there is something I need to tell you in advance. If you go to Beijing, If the dog affects the surrounding neighbors in the future, it must be sent away immediately."
