Chapter 357 I worked hard to get into Fengxian No. 1 Middle School
"Taozi, your elder sister is right. You should focus on your studies now. Study hard. Your elder sister will take care of the family matters!"
Seeing Sister Ruoting also say this, Yang Tao nodded obediently: "Okay, I will listen to you and will definitely get into high school."
During the chat, Shang Ruoting asked about Yang Tao's academic progress.
This is something that Yangmei is proud of.
"Our Taozi is smart and willing to work hard, and her academic performance has always been good."
Shang Ruoting had long noticed that Yang Tao was a smart girl, but many people don't necessarily use their intelligence in the right place, especially Yang Tao, who rushed to do housework with Yang Mei every day, yet she could still study so well. It was obvious that the little girl had put a lot of effort into her studies.
"Has Taozi ever thought about which high school to apply to?"
When Yang Tao heard this question, her little face, which had a little baby fat, instantly wrinkled up.
But she quickly replied, "I plan to apply to the middle school in our town. This way it will be close to home, and I can go home every day to help my eldest sister with some things."
"No, you have to listen to me. Take the entrance exam to Fengxian No. 1 Middle School. With your academic performance, you will definitely be admitted."
"But big sister..."
"Don't say but, you have to listen to me on this."
It was the first time that Shang Ruoting saw Yang Mei show such a strong side.
Yang Mei continued, "I'll take care of the household affairs, so you can focus on your studies."
In fact, Yang Tao also wanted to apply to Fengxian No. 1 Middle School, but she was too sensible and felt sorry for her elder sister who had to make all the sacrifices for the family alone, while she had to go to school and hold the family back.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, big sister. I'll work hard to get into Fengxian No. 1 Middle School."
Shang Ruoting looked at the little girl's serious expression and was deeply moved. It is true that all good children come from other people's families.
"Taozi, your brother Tan Chen taught me a lot of courses. Although I can't say they're all that good, it's still okay to give me some tutoring before your exam."
Although Yang Tao has good academic performance, it is only good in the town middle school. If he were in the county, he might not be so outstanding.
When she heard Sister Ruoting say that she could tutor her, her eyes immediately lit up.
"Really, Sister Ruoting, can you tutor me?"
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Shang Ruoting's belly again, and the light in her eyes dimmed: "But..."
Shang Ruoting knew what she was going to say and interrupted Yang Tao: "It doesn't matter. Look at the women in the village. Don't they still work in the fields when they are pregnant?"
Yang Tao was a child, and spoke innocently: "But Sister Ruoting is different. Brother Tan Chen will definitely not let you go to the fields."
"Of course I can't let your sister Ruoting go to the fields to work." Tan Chen walked in from outside at some point.
The Yang sisters greeted him at the same time, and Yang Tao said, "Brother Tan Chen, Sister Ruoting said she would tutor me, and I'm worried about her health."
Tan Chen also discovered these days that his wife was very bored.
Since she wanted to help Yang Tao with her homework, he naturally would not object. What's more, his wife had a better grasp of the knowledge in the textbooks than he, a former academic master.
"It's no problem for your sister Ruoting to help you with your homework. She happens to be bored all day."
"Then I'd like to thank Sister Ruoting first. I'll come over tomorrow after I finish picking mushrooms at home."
As they were talking, Mr. Tan came back carrying a bamboo basket half full of fish.
The old man didn't put on any airs of authority here, and walked into the yard with a smile on his face.
The Yang sisters only knew that Tan Chen's family were all high-ranking officials, but looking at the old man in front of them, he looked so kind and not scary at all.
After Shang Ruoting introduced the few people, the two sisters greeted the old man politely.
Mr. Tan caught a big fish weighing more than two kilograms today. He was very happy and talked to the two sisters of the Yang family for a few more words.
When Old Mrs. Shang came back from the backyard, she saw Yangmei and Yangtao coming over and invited them to have dinner at her house.
The two sisters refused repeatedly, said goodbye to everyone and left.
The next morning, after breakfast, Tan Chen went to the greenhouse to pick mushrooms.
Shang Ruoting also wanted to join in the fun, and Tan Chen had no choice but to agree to go with her, but he could only watch and not take any action.
When Mr. Tan heard that he was going to pick mushrooms, he was so excited the whole night that he even stopped his favorite fishing.
You know, when he looked at those plump mushrooms, he had long wanted to pick them with his own hands and feel them.
Seeing that his grandfather was happy, Tan Chen did not refuse, but reminded him not to tire himself out.
In order to show that he is still strong despite his old age, Mr. Tan performed a set of military boxing in front of his grandson.
This made Tan Chen laugh and cry.
Together with the guards, the whole family walked towards the greenhouse.
With the addition of Zhao Dan and Wang Xigui, the number of people working there was much faster than when the first batch of oyster mushrooms were ripe and picked.
