Abnormal Gourmet Chronicle-Chapter 991 - 485: You Don’t Want to Embarrass Zhiwei Restaurant Either (Part 2)

Zhao Cheng'an was utterly confused, and immediately expressed his desire to drink two more bowls, making the three of them almost tear up with emotion.

Qin Huai had reason to suspect that the three were insistent on coming to the airport to pick up someone just to avoid drinking cold tea at home.

He Cheng was packed off to Shan City for tutoring as soon as the summer holiday started. It was said that his final exams last semester were not ideal. Before coming for tutoring, he enjoyed a meal of his favorite bamboo shoots with pork at home. After arriving in Shan City, He Cheng stayed with Qin Huai, attending tutoring sessions at Qin Luo's place during the day. The tutor was the same one who tutored Qin Luo in Gusu before, brought to Shan City by Gong Liang at a high price.

Once in the car, Qin Huai didn't waste time to comment on Zhao Cheng'an driving a double R car, suggesting he had betrayed his class long ago, but directly asked about Qin Luo's summer tutoring progress.

Due to He Cheng having rounded out into a little chubby kid, he sat in the front passenger seat, while Qin Luo, Qin Huai, and Zhao Cheng'an sat in the back from left to right. As Qin Huai asked questions, he turned directly to stare at Qin Luo and asked face-to-face.

Qin Luo had been waiting for this moment.

Almost proudly, Qin Luo exclaimed loudly, "Brother, I'm not afraid to tell you, I've been attending classes and doing test papers very seriously every day, every teacher praises how diligently I'm studying this holiday! By the time school starts, I can improve by at least 10 places in the exams, and then I will definitely get into a prestigious foreign university, bringing honor and glory to the Qin family!"

Seeing Qin Luo so proud, Qin Huai was completely convinced that Qin Luo must have studied hard this holiday. He was somewhat surprised, "Are you still Luoluo?"

Where did my lazy, food-loving, book-hating sister go?

Hearing Qin Huai's question, Qin Congwen chucklingly helped explain, "It's true, Luoluo has been very diligent in her holiday tutoring."

"Didn't Little Zheng arrive before the holiday? He was okay during school time since Luoluo didn't have time to pester him, but once the holiday started, it was a hassle. Luoluo wanted to hang around the canteen all day, bugging Little Zheng to cook delicious food for her. Little Zheng has a soft heart, and a few sweet words from Luoluo would make him unable to resist making her snacks. Sometimes when it was just Luoluo pestering him, it was alright, but if Xiao Ou came along, it was really…"

"These two could go a whole day without eating proper meals, just snacking."

"Your mom realized this wasn't okay, normally, Luoluo eats your snacks, she has to pay money, but Little Zheng is embarrassed to accept money. Just as Xiao Cheng arrived, your mom thought of a way, weren't they both attending tutoring together? When they attend classes seriously and complete the after-class assignments, only those with a high accuracy rate get to eat snacks."

"To prevent mutual cheating or covering for each other, your mom adopted a competitive system, the snacks for the first and second place differ. There are extra rewards for reporting the other's fraudulent study habits."

With Qin Congwen explaining this, Qin Huai could already imagine the plot to come, asking, "Who reported whom on the first day?"

Sitting in the front passenger seat, He Cheng turned around, revealing a chubby smile.

"Hmph." Qin Luo grunted unhappily.

It's evident that the once caring cousins who both moved forward together, sneaking eats and sharing punishments, have now turned against each other for snacks, diligently studying and reporting one another.

In ancient times two peaches killed three warriors, nowadays, Mrs. Zhao Rong doesn't even need two peaches, one plate of snacks is enough.

No wonder there had been little interaction at the airport, apart from launching short complaints, He Cheng hadn't talked to Qin Luo.

Qin Huai checked further on Qin Luo's study situation, finding Zhao Rong's tactic indeed effective. Qin Luo, since birth and throughout her studies, had never been so proactive and positive about learning, the results were now obvious.

It seems our old Qin family is going to finally have a scholar!

Qin Huai felt very gratified.

The tutoring sessions for Qin Luo and He Cheng were originally scheduled to end tomorrow, with tutoring previously being two days on and one day off, it hadn't reached the extent of tutoring throughout the entire holiday. On the way, Qin Luo kept chattering about whether Zhiwei Restaurant was as legendary as they say, gathering snack masters from all over, every day like a martial arts assembly, with chefs challenging each other with snack duels, where diners eat till their mouths are greasy from oil. Zhao Cheng'an, a proper snack master from Zhiwei Restaurant, was baffled, quietly asking Qin Huai where Qin Luo had heard such false rumors.

Qin Huai tactfully informed Zhao Cheng'an that Qin Luo had a good relationship with Tan Wei'an.

Upon arriving at Yunzhong District, Qin Luo and He Cheng went back for tutoring; Qin Congwen helped Qin Huai with his luggage, escorting it home for tidying, while Qin Huai accompanied Zhao Cheng'an to the place Chen Huihong arranged for him to stay, familiarizing Zhao Cheng'an with the community environment and future work setting.

Once separated, Zhao Cheng'an couldn't help but ask, "Isn't Luoluo going to an international high school? Unless she wants to study engineering, business, or medicine, just spending money should make going abroad not too difficult, right?"

"It's indeed not difficult. Though Luoluo's grades weren't great before, her English grades have always been good. Besides, Sister Hong is willing to cover Luoluo's study expenses abroad; as long as Luoluo wants to go, she definitely can pursue her studies."

"Then why is it necessary to…"

"Because my mom feels she shouldn't develop a dependency on rewards without effort," Qin Huai said, "Even if she's bound to have studies, and our family is becoming wealthier, when it's time to study, she should study. When it's time to work hard, she should work hard."

"My parents are very fair people, sometimes even pursuing too much fairness to maintain balance. They don't feel that since I inherited my biological parents' wealth, and now with my craft, can earn a lot annually that Luoluo can just be worry-free and idle in the future. They only believe I am me, Luoluo is Luoluo, the fact that I have money is my business, for Luoluo to work hard in her studies and eventually get a good job is her responsibility."
