Chapter 343: Extra Persistence (9th update)

Although their food standards have improved dramatically now and they have no shortage of food on a regular basis, they want to hear their mother praise them and make delicious food for them just like other parents do.

"Mom, I got full marks in the exam. Can you make me some pancakes? And stir-fried pork and cucumber?" Fang Gexin was young after all, so she couldn't help but ask directly.

"If you want to eat, I can make it for you in the evening," An Zhixia raised her eyebrows and smiled.

"It's different," Fang Songyan said with a smile, "If you do well in the exam, you can order food."

"Okay, okay," An Zhixia responded repeatedly, "So, what do you want to eat, little brother and little sister?"

The two children looked at each other and blurted out: "Fried pancakes and stir-fried pork with cucumber!"

An Zhixia was a little depressed. Why did she have to argue with these two? She had many specialties, but she was an open-minded parent and agreed with a smile.

Under the children's expectant eyes, she took their textbooks and exercise books and flipped through them, then took the pens and notebooks, found the final exam papers corresponding to their level from the supermarket, and started to make the questions.

The teaching level and quality at that time could not be compared with that of later generations, but the basic concepts, theorems, formulas, etc. that students learned were not much different. It’s just that the questions in later generations were comprehensive and in-depth, and I don’t know if the three children can meet the standards.

She writes very fast, and the primary school papers are not too difficult, as there are only two subjects: Chinese and mathematics. When there are many words, she will dictate and let them answer directly.

The children worked on their homework with serious faces. Their handwriting was neat, but not very beautiful.

An Zhixia glanced at the bookshelf on the wall and saw a lot of books. She knew that Fang Yuan had a wild way of raising his children and didn't have time to raise them systematically. Besides, how meticulous could a man be in raising children? Because she had to prepare an education channel during this period, she watched a lot of videos and read books on raising children. Looking at the three fair and plump children in front of her, she smiled faintly.

After they finished the questions, An Zhixia checked them and found that the questions she had given were much more difficult than those in their exercise books. Unexpectedly, they all got them right.

She smiled and said to Fang Yuan who was reading a book beside her: "After school starts, the eldest will go to junior high school, the second will go to fourth grade, and the youngest will go to second grade."

The three children couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Mom, why?"

"Mom, if you can test me again on the first grade questions, I'm sure I can get a high score."

The two children also asked her to give questions that were for a higher grade.

"Li Xi, I know you are smart, but there are more subjects in junior high school, and many thinking patterns are different from those in elementary school. If you study hard, you can learn other things and make many friends. The same goes for you two. How old are you?

Songyan is in the fourth grade at the age of seven, and Gexin is in the second grade at the age of five. If you skip too many grades, you will be easily bullied by your classmates. Besides, although I am very happy that you are smart and sensible, and you study hard, your development should be comprehensive, instead of just focusing on these textbooks and becoming little nerds. "

Fang Yuan nodded and said, "Indeed, the schoolwork in elementary and junior high school is not too heavy. You have a lot of spare time. You can go out and play with children of your age, learn English well, and learn some musical instruments, dance, skate, and sing. This will save you from having no time to improve yourself when you go to high school."

The three children looked at their young parents hesitantly with bright eyes, "Can we?"

Especially Fang Lixi, who had a sour taste at a young age. He still remembered the grand occasion at home when his grandparents and father were around. He dressed like a young master every day and played with the children in the neighborhood who were also spoiled. He was the king of the children. At that time, he learned foreign languages, piano, calligraphy, etc., but later...

"Sure," An Zhixia smiled gently, ruffling their hair one by one and holding them in her arms, "You are my and your father's treasures, you can play, cry, throw tantrums, and get jealous and compete for favors just like other children.

You are children, you don’t need to live such a hard life. You can discuss with us what you want to learn, what you want, and how you want to plan your life.”

The children didn't know whether they were moved by her words or because they missed their mother's warm and soft embrace, they all cried softly.

An Zhixia's eyes also turned red, and Fang Yuan embraced her in his arms, along with the child.

"Dad will hold up the sky for you guys," his steady voice was like a stabilizing force in the ocean, making the adults and three children feel at ease.

It was past nap time, so Fang Yuan simply took them out for a ride on his motorcycle.

There was nothing interesting to do in Kyoto during this period. It was a bleak place. It was good enough that the ancient monuments were not destroyed, let alone repaired. However, the palace was reopened two years ago at the request of the second-in-command. Fang Yuan bought some snacks and took them in for a walk.

Today is Monday and there are not many people at the tourist attraction. However, they saw some foreigners walking around with cameras.

Fang Yuan walked around with a group of three children, one adult and three children, and explained things to them in great detail. Unexpectedly, as they walked along, many people followed him and listened to him, as if they were treating him as a tour guide.

There was also a translator who was whispering and translating in real time with several foreign friends.

Foreign friends couldn't help taking many photos of the good-looking family of four. When they came out of the scenic spot, one of the foreigners hesitated and strode forward, pulling the translator.

"Hello, ladies and gentlemen. I am Ivan, an envoy from Italy. I am here to visit your country," the foreign friend bowed respectfully with one hand in front of his chest and said with a smile, "I have seen this lady at home through the Xiahua Channel, and also seen this majestic palace. Although your oriental faces are all carved from the same mold in the eyes of us foreigners, this oriental lady is particularly beautiful and delicate, especially the mole on her chin, which is particularly easy to identify.

According to you, a lady should have no worries about food and drink for her whole life. "

An Zhixia looked at Fang Yuan in surprise, chuckled, and politely returned the greeting, saying in Xiahua: "Hello, Mr. Ivan, I am An Zhixia, the deputy director of Xiahua TV Station. I am very glad that you can watch our program through Xiahua Channel in your own country."

Several foreign friends also gathered around and were a little surprised to hear the translation, saying that they thought she was Xia Hua's star.

Seeing An Zhixia, they felt like they were meeting an old friend, and couldn't help asking where the chef in Taogui was. Did they have the honor to taste the Xiahua delicacies that made people drool on TV?

Naturally, they could not refuse the request from their foreign friends.

So they headed straight for Zhaoyang District. When they passed by the headquarters of the state-owned restaurant, they explained their purpose and used the receipts to buy some meat.
