Song Jiao and Song Jun watched her retreating figure and pouted, "Did she really dream about her father? She looks so guilty."
"I guess so."
"How wishful thinking! You want me to tutor Sun Hui? Don't you realize what a crucial time this is for you? Her daughter's middle school entrance exam is precious, but your college entrance exam isn't important?"
"Exactly. She didn't even bring anything when she came in, and it's not like she wanted anything from them, but as soon as the tutoring fee came up, she said, 'Sister, you're ripping people off.' What kind of aunt is that?"
"Moreover, Sun Hui shamelessly claimed that her poor grades were due to a lack of supervision. Don't we all listen to lectures and do our homework on our own?"
"Sister, don't pay them any attention."
Song Xia smiled slightly: "I said that on purpose because I knew my second aunt wouldn't pay for it."
She felt helpless. Why did she always have such bizarre relatives? No normal person would make such a request during the crucial senior year of high school. They really didn't care about her future at all!
On the other side, Song Tianfang, who had left in a hurry, was still scolding Sun Hui: "If you weren't so useless, Mom wouldn't have had to suffer like this today. Song Jiao and Song Jun have such good grades, why can't you?"
"They have their older cousin to tutor them, how can I be the same?"
"You've said everything. Song Xia is already a senior in high school. How much time does she have to teach them?"
“Then why did you bring me here, Mom? I told you my cousin wouldn’t teach me.”
"Who knew she was so heartless?" Song Tianfang cursed angrily. "Let's see what kind of good university she can get into, and she still charges two hundred yuan an hour. She's just asking for trouble."
Sun Hui secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Now that my cousin isn't tutoring me, if I end up getting into some junior high school, you can't say anything to me."
"Don't try to fool me. Tomorrow, Mom will arrange tutoring for you. If even Song Jiao and Song Jun can get into the Experimental High School, but you can't, where will Mom's face be?"
"Mom, I've told you all those tutoring centers outside are scams, don't get ripped off."
"You have to find someone even if you have to lie. It's your own fault for being so useless. You only have a few months left, so you have to improve your grades."
Sun Hui looked miserable. She thought that being rejected by her cousin would dissuade her mother, but her mother still wanted to go to tutoring classes. It was all Song Jiao and Song Jun's fault. Why did they both do so well in their exams and make her suffer?
The closer it gets to the college entrance examination, the more intense the learning atmosphere becomes in the senior year of high school. Sometimes you can't even hear people talking after class, and you have to go to the toilet quietly.
"Song Xia, I'm so tired!" Her deskmate complained quietly as she watched her classmates burying themselves in their books or doing tests.
"Things will be better once you get to university," Song Xia comforted her while doing her homework. "I've heard that good universities have bigger campuses, more beautiful scenery, and more delicious food, and the prices are cheaper."
"Really?" My deskmate perked up.
"Seriously, the better the university, the better the basic facilities, so you can have as much fun as you want. It would be even more difficult if you didn't perform well and had to repeat a year."
Song Xia could only make up this way. In fact, if you really want to learn a major well, university courses are no easier than high school courses. Moreover, once you get to university, most of you can only rely on your own self-discipline. Some people will feel lost and more tired.
However, don't tell your deskmate about these things for now. University has its difficult and easy parts, it all depends on how you choose. Getting into a good university, even if you just aim to get credits, will still be a more valuable stepping stone after graduation than most ordinary universities.
The school bell rang, and Song Xia shut her mouth and listened attentively to the lesson, while she continued to tackle her difficult problem.
Now, the teachers have changed their teaching methods. Some students feel they have already mastered the knowledge points, so they can ignore the lectures and do other subjects' tests on their own, as long as they don't disrupt the class.
Song Xia's English score is now stable at around 145, so she spends most of her English class time doing science practice tests.
This learning method is very effective for her. In recent exams, her scores have improved significantly, surpassing the class monitor and becoming the top student in the grade.
Her rate of progress is something to be envied. At this point, it's already quite difficult to improve scores, yet she still manages to do so.
Her homeroom teacher had another heart-to-heart talk with her: "If you maintain this level in the college entrance exam, you can choose any major at the top university. Are you really not planning to study in Beijing?"
Song Xia shook her head: "Teacher, you know I have younger siblings at home, I can't leave City A."
The homeroom teacher sighed regretfully, "If only there were an adult at home to take care of him, he wouldn't have been delayed."
“Teacher, the medical school at University A is quite good, and I originally wanted to choose a major in pharmaceutical research. University A’s medical school is already top-notch in the country, so I don’t necessarily have to go to Beijing.”
"Being a doctor in the future is indeed a good choice. It's stable and has a promising future. Since you have your mind set on it, I won't say anything more. Just keep up the good work. Even if you don't go to the top university, try your best to get the top score in the exam for me."
"Teacher, your requirements are too high. Aren't you afraid that I'll feel too much pressure?"
"Don't tease the teacher. The teacher still believes in your abilities. The teacher has already spoken with all the subject teachers. From now on, no matter what subject you are in, you can study on your own. If you don't understand something, you can ask the subject teachers."
"Yes." Song Xia nodded emphatically. A top scholar! She really wanted to take the exam too!
Days passed, and after that day, Second Aunt Song Tianfang never came to visit again. Only Uncle and Aunt occasionally brought them some food. As the time for the college entrance examination drew closer, Song Jun and Song Jiao became even quieter at home. Even when Sun Hui told them at school that they were always wearing other people's old clothes, they didn't tell Song Xia.
The two didn't take Sun Hui's provocation or the strange looks from their classmates seriously. The teacher had said that wearing old clothes was a normal thing, and their grades were good, so that was enough!
Over the past two months, the kind older sister who had been sending things to Song Xia and the others has also received several letters from Song Xia, each containing the three of their report cards.
"You've improved again!" When they opened the letter that day, the first thing they did was check their scores. After all, their improvement, one after another, was truly amazing.
"It's a rare opportunity to do a good deed, and it seems like I've sponsored three amazing children!"
"With these grades, you could probably choose any university and major in China!"
"Don't you feel a great sense of accomplishment?"
"Yes, absolutely! Hehe, my parents praised me for doing something good instead of doing something bad this time because of my impulsiveness!"
"Let's treat the kids to a meal to celebrate after the college entrance exam."
“Great! My parents have been wanting to meet them for a long time. I need to send them my report card right away. They weren’t this anxious when I took the exams back then.”
"That's because your family doesn't need you to get into a good university or find a good job. It's different for other girls; it's about their future."
"That's true..."
