Xia Chunfu's days were full and comfortable, and he felt much more energetic. Although Xia Ruzheng was always worried that he was tired, the old man didn't seem to be tired at all.
The midterm exam is coming soon, and the two little girls are of course not worried. They still get 100 points in both subjects. Nowadays, students don’t have to learn English in elementary school. They have to wait until junior high school to learn it, so the children are relatively relaxed.
The one who suffered the most was little Tian Siqi. His foundation wasn't good, and even though Grandpa Xia had been giving him remedial lessons for so long, it was still poor. It couldn't be made up all at once, otherwise all the other parents would have asked Xia Chunfu to be their children's tutor. So when the results came out, Tian Siqi was devastated. He was slightly better in Chinese, scoring over 60, which was a passing grade. But he only scored over 40 in math, and most of the correct answers involved addition and subtraction. He couldn't figure out the multiplication and division. He finally found two people who had gotten the multiplication and division right, but after asking them carefully, he realized they had just calculated it by rote addition. It was truly astonishing.
Xia Chunfu said, "You really have perseverance."
Tian Siqi's face turned red, and she felt very sorry for Grandpa Xia's hard work in tutoring for the past two months!
Tian Nier and Tian Dazhuang felt very embarrassed and wanted to teach their son a lesson, but Xia Chunfu quickly stopped them: "This child has only been here for two months, and you expect him to get a perfect score? You're making it too difficult for him! If that were the case, he would really be a genius! Don't worry, let's take it slow and try to pass both subjects by the end of the semester!"
Tian Siqi's eyes were red as she said, "Doesn't that mean I can't compare to Binbin? Binbin always scores above 90!"
Xia Chunfu said, "Don't be anxious! You can't get rich overnight! Why can't you study for one or two years to take the college entrance examination? Instead, you have to go through elementary school, junior high school, and then high school? Because knowledge is a process of accumulation. If you don't have enough accumulation, how can you go to college? It's the same principle. You don't have enough knowledge accumulation and you still want to get a 90% score? You're dreaming! When Binbin went to study in the provincial capital, it took him more than a year to stabilize his grades. At that time, others were in the first and second grades, and you were in the fourth grade. The difficulty was different, so of course it was more difficult! Don't cry! As long as you study hard, I promise that you will definitely catch up with Liu Binbin in the future!"
Tian Siqi wiped away her tears and said, "Okay then! Let's continue!"
Xia Chunfu nodded with satisfaction. He said, "I'm not afraid of anything else in my child, I'm afraid of him being dull and unintelligent. As long as the child has normal intelligence and focuses on learning, there's no way he can't improve his grades."
After Xia Ruzheng knew about this, he felt that his father might be very suitable to be the school's academic director, specifically to do ideological work for students, so that students would study hard!
Time passed in the blink of an eye. By the end of the semester, Tian Siqi had indeed scored over 70 points in both subjects. This was only considered average for the class, but the teacher was still quite pleased. This child came from the countryside and couldn't speak Mandarin well when he first arrived, let alone Cantonese. He was able to concentrate on his studies and make such great progress, which showed that he had great potential! So at the end-of-term parents' meeting, Tian Siqi was praised for his fastest improvement, which made Tian Nier very proud.
As expected, Liu Binbin came during the holiday. He was sent by Liu Guoqing. Now both the couple are busy, one is busy attracting business and the other is busy expanding the store, so sending Liu Binbin here so that he can have a playmate and company saves them some trouble.
"Binbin, if you don't go back to see your grandparents, will they be unhappy?"
Liu Binbin said nonchalantly, "They don't really like me anyway, so it doesn't matter if I don't go back! Besides, it's more fun here. I can't play with others over there."
Xia Chunfu was worried that his grandson's grandparents would be unhappy, but he didn't expect them to answer like this.
The paper Liu Binbin brought over had a perfect score in math and 92 in Chinese. Looking at the 92, Liu Binbin said with regret, "I wrote a few words incorrectly and was deducted two points. It was all because I was too careless."
