章 86: Chapter 84: Not Following the Plot

Everyone listened and asked, "What's the matter?"

Xia Lin didn't answer and quickly went upstairs. She came down again, holding the award certificate she had won the day before yesterday and yesterday's newspaper, saying, "A while ago, I participated in a provincial illustration competition and won the first prize. Here's my award certificate, and the newspaper article from yesterday."

Lu Xianrun was thrilled by the unexpected good news and excitedly stood up to examine the award certificate.

Everyone else, also excited, crowded around to see. The newspaper reported that Xia Lin's illustrations of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms had won the first prize.

Yang Mingchao said, "You made it into the paper, Qiuqiu, you're really something."

"Not only did I make it into the paper, but I also received a reward. The province gave me fifty yuan, and our society is going to publish a series of my illustrations, so I'm going to have a book published."
