The female emcee's pleasant voice rang out once more. "Next, we'll be giving out first prize awards.Boys and girls, if you hear your name being called out, please come up to the stage. Rainie Crawford,from First Grade, Class 6..."
Rainie had changed into her uniform. She walked up the stage.
Facing the emcees alone on the stage and looking down at the sea of people in the audience, shebecame a little frightened. When she saw her mother sitting in the third row smiling and waving at her,as though giving her encouragement, she felt a little better.
The male emcee started to speak into his microphone with his attractive voice. "Rainie has won the firstprize in the Citywide Drawing Competition with her art piece, 'The Mermaid in the Undersea Maze.'Congratulations!"
A lady brought Rainie's drawing onto the stage.
The drawing was placed on the scanner and was projected onto the big screen for the audience to see.

"Rainie has depicted the conflict between humans and nature in her drawing. Unrestraineddevelopment has caused serious pollution to the ocean, and the mermaid is hiding in her underseamaze. The mermaid's gaze is filled with love for nature, but she is covering her ears because of noisepollution, and you can see her agony from the tears in the corner of her eye. Rainie has expressed herbold idea with vibrant colors, and the drawing is filled with fantasy and mystery. Let's welcome Mdm.Queenie Zeigler, well-known philanthropist of A City, to present the award..."
Queenie was dressed in a white dress. She stood up from her seat and walked up the stage.
She carried herself in a noble and elegant manner, but at the same time, she had a gentle andapproachable demeanor.
Queenie bent down, took the trophy from the little helper's hands, and handed it to Rainie."Congratulations on winning the first prize, Rainie. I hope that you will continue to produce amazingdrawings." "Thank you, I will do my best," Rainie said in an adorable voice as she smiled at Queenie.
Queenie could feel her heart melt when she saw the little girl's smile.
She could not help but crouch and pat the little girl's head.
The little girl looked like her when she was a child.
Queenie was still thinking of Rainie even after she returned to her seat.
The child was soft and tender, and her hair was fluffy to the touch. If her birth daughter was marriedand had children, the child should be about the little girl's age.
Queenie laughed at herself when she thought of that.
She realized that her memory was getting worse the older she got. She had just reunited with her birthdaughter, and she had not even asked about Julie's love life. Why was she already thinking aboutgrandchildren?
She was losing her mind thinking about her daughter.
"We have now arrived at the most exciting moment. Blanche Crawford of Third Grade, Class 1 has wonsix prizes in total. He has won the first prize in the National Scientific Innovation Competition, the firstprize in the A City Stars of Hope Public Speaking Competition, the first prize in the A City AerospaceModeling Competition, and so on. Please come up to the stage, Blanche!"
Queenie came to her senses when she heard the emcee's announcement.
She lifted her head and saw a little boy in a baseball cap walk up the stage with his hands in hispockets. He was also chewing gum.
He looked similar to Rainie.
However, Rainie was soft and cute, while the boy was gallant and handsome.
Queenie stared at him. The two first prize winners of the ceremony were not only smart but also good-looking.
The boy's surname was also "Crawford." Was he siblings with Rainie?
Queenie also recalled that when her daughter was dating Luke, she said that Luke had a pair of twins.
Queenie was fond of children, and she had asked Leia to bring the children home. Before Leia could dothat, she had already broken up with Luke. Naturally, Queenie did not have the chance to meet thetwins.
She was inexplicably excited when she saw the children. She even forgot that their father was theculprit who had hurt her daughter. Her thoughts were filled with the two outstanding children...
Lanie stayed on the stage for an interview. The female emcee crouched to his height and placed hermicrophone in front of his mouth. "You're the student who has won the most awards, Blanche. Do youhave secrets that you want to share with your friends?"
Lanie thought for a long time before saying, No." "So why do you always win the first prize ineverything?" The emcee was persistent.
"Maybe that's because the other people are stupid," Lanie blurted.
"..." The emcee was speechless.
Bianca was speechless too.
She covered her face with her hands. 'My son, I know that you're very smart, but can't you be humbletoo?'
The rest of the audience was shocked by what the little boy said. However, they considered the factthat his parents could not have bought those awards with money, and they had to admit that the boywas indeed talented.
Queenie chuckled when she heard Lanie's boastful words. 'What a candid boy!'
If she had a grandson like Lanie, she would definitely spoil him.
