"Tongtong, it's getting late. I warmed up some milk for you. Drink it and go to bed early!"
At ten o'clock in the evening, Jin Yu knocked on his daughter's door and put the milk in his hand on his daughter's desk. Looking at the math textbook spread out in one hand and the mathematical derivation formulas written down in the other hand, he couldn't help but feel surprised and relieved, as well as curious and puzzled.
What surprised and comforted me was that my daughter has been extremely self-conscious these two days. She doesn't need to be urged to study and is very serious about it. Except for eating and going to the bathroom, she basically hasn't left the room.
It's not that she hadn't wondered if her daughter was hiding in the room playing games or reading novels, but after a few surprise inspections or sending things to her, her daughter's study was more focused than ever, undisturbed by external things. She studied from morning to midnight, and her hands hardly stopped. There was a thick stack of draft papers on the corner of the table, all of which were written on densely. She was really surprised.
"Mom, I'll drink it later!" Wu Tong continued to solve the problem in his hand.
She has been reviewing the first-year high school mathematics over the past two days. Now she is working on the last chapter of the fourth compulsory course of first-year high school mathematics. It is almost coming to an end. In the state of deep concentration on learning, Wu Tong almost ignores the non-dangerous influences from the outside world. She responded casually, and Wu Tong's full attention is still focused on the calculations in her hands.
"Then take your time and go to bed early after you're done. Don't forget to drink your milk. Mommy's going out first!"
Jin Yu gave her daughter's instructions with joy and concern, but she didn't care when she didn't get a response. She walked out of Wu Tong's room quietly.
"Tongtong is still studying?" Wu Jingzhong was leaning on the sofa reading the newspaper when he saw his wife coming out of their daughter's room. He put down the newspaper in his hand, stood up and greeted his wife to their bedroom. When their daughter was studying, they always watched TV on silent mode or read paper newspapers.
"Did your daughter take the wrong medicine these past two days?" Jin Yu was a little uncomfortable with the situation where she suddenly didn't have to urge her daughter to study.
"It can't be that our daughter has become smart and loves studying!" Wu Jingzhong was not happy with this statement. He had such a precious daughter, and in his eyes, of course she was perfect in every way.
"Tongtong likes to study, isn't that a good thing?"
His daughter had shown signs of rebellion before and was not interested in studying, which made him very anxious.
They are experienced people and know the importance of learning. The college entrance examination is the fairest ladder for ordinary people like them who have no identity or background and no huge fortune to squander!
He was able to escape from his family's life of working hard in the fields because he put in the effort to study, got into university, was assigned to a unit after graduation, married a good wife, and worked diligently for twenty years. Now he has a stable life with no worries about food and clothing.
Now that his daughter is studying hard, he is very happy!
"Tongtong, you've been studying so hard these days. I'm going to the countryside tomorrow and will buy two free-range chickens. You can stew them for Tongtong to nourish his body!"
"So I'm the stepmother? And you're the biological father?" Jin Yu glanced at her husband unhappily. "You're the only one who can be a good person!"
Jin Yu has a strong personality. Even as a teacher, now that she thinks about it, she is used to making arrangements in the mother-daughter relationship, but she has not grasped the right degree.
"No, no, a helmsman is needed to sail on the sea. You are the helmsman of our family, the stabilizer. Our family cannot live without you. My daughter has grown up and has a strong self-esteem. You are a teacher and you know the adolescents best. Tongtong is obedient, so just say less about her!" After years of experience in the unit, Comrade Wu still has the ability to engage in theoretical discussions.
"I'm afraid it's just a fad that lasts for three days and can't be sustained!"
"Let's take a closer look. It's a good thing that Tongtong is willing to learn!"
As parents, no matter how hard or difficult it is, we want our children to have a good future!
Raising a child lasts a hundred years, and worrying about her lasts ninety-nine years. They only have this one child, and they may not be able to stop worrying about her until they close their eyes.
It's a new day again. Wu Tong follows the routine of the past few days. He gets up early to practice martial arts, push hands and do boxing to nourish his energy and strengthen his body. Then he does morning reading.
In a state of deep learning, she spent two mornings memorizing the English vocabulary for the first four required courses in high school. Today, she started reading through the short passages in the textbook, focusing on the grammar.
As her vocabulary increased, she read the text again and her fluency naturally doubled. Later, she felt that she could increase her memory of words in the dictionary and no longer be limited to books.
At the same time, she plans to put the review of the key memorization parts of Chinese on the agenda tomorrow.
Especially those parts of classical Chinese and interpretation of ancient poems that had troubled her before. This was the area where she had a weak grasp and needed to strengthen and re-examine.
Chinese and English are both core subjects, and we teach them equally, with each subject being read in the morning every day.
Yesterday, he finished retaking the first-year high school math course, required courses one to four, and completely mastered the formulas. After breakfast, Wu Tong took out the test paper that he had done so poorly before.
This time, Wu Tong finally understood what it meant to write as if inspired by God.
The test questions that had previously racked her brains were now a breeze. Almost as soon as she read the questions, she already had the solution in mind, and with a little deduction and calculation, she could quickly answer them. The sense of accomplishment she felt was unparalleled.
Their summer vacation starts on July 5th and school starts on September 1st, which is about two months.
During the holidays, teachers would say that the homework was light, just one exam every two days and an hour or two of review time each day to prevent students from completely letting go. However, multiplying this amount of homework by six subjects, it became quite substantial.
Wu Tong had a total of thirty math papers. She'd been procrastinating for the previous month, and despite Teacher Jin's strict supervision, she'd only managed five or six. The rest, planned for the start of the new semester, she'd been busy catching up with her classmates.
But now, there was no need to cheat or copy homework. She worked through each paper in half an hour, unstoppable, and in one day, she finished the summer math practice papers that she had previously procrastinated on and hadn't started on. She also redid the five or six that she had barely finished, checking and correcting any errors.
Before, she'd racked her brains, feeling completely lost as she struggled to figure out how to start. But now, wherever she looked, the answer appeared in her mind. Her writing speed couldn't keep up with her thoughts, and after a day of constant writing, her hand, which held the pen, felt a little sore.
Such smooth progress makes people want to do ten or eight more stacks of papers.
She currently didn't have the next math textbook, and with the six subjects she had to take for the Gaokao, she needed to improve across the board, not just in any one area. With math retakes now complete, Wu Tong had to immediately schedule retakes for her freshman physics, chemistry, and biology classes, which she hadn't mastered thoroughly and were just barely above the passing line.
