Zhang Zhihe had just finished circling around when someone called out to him. Upon closer inspection, he saw it was Ms. Zhou, Mao Xia's mother. Behind Ms. Zhou was a button stall, and the girl selling buttons was exceptionally pretty!
Recalling Shu Hui's words, Zhang Zhihe was almost certain that it was Chu Yu!
He excitedly propped up his bicycle!
"Oh! Teacher Zhang! You're here to see Mao Xia?"
Zhou Fangchun has different attitudes towards different people. She is indifferent and condescending towards Chu Yu, fawning and timid towards Qiu Jiadong, and warm, respectful and courteous towards Zhang Zhihe.
Zhang Zhihe waved his hand dismissively, while Zhou Fangchun continued speaking to himself:
"I'm so sorry, Teacher Zhang, something came up at home, so I asked for leave for Mao Xia, but she handed in her exam paper to your office yesterday!"
Zhang Zhihe wiped the sweat from his brow. "Mao Xia's mother, I didn't come here for this."
"So what brings you here? You're not here to visit because of my Maoxia's grades, are you? You're so kind of you. My Maoxia's grades are so good thanks to you! I wonder how many points she got on the test this time?"
Zhou Fangchun was very confident in Mao Xia's achievements, and asking such a question was clearly intended to show off.
People used to say that Mao Xia was not as pretty as Chu Yu, but Zhou Fangchun disagreed. How was her daughter any less beautiful than Chu Yu?
No matter how good Chu Yu is, he's still a self-employed individual. That's a crooked path. The only right way is to get good grades, go to university, and have a guaranteed job with the government.
Zhang Zhihe only wanted to say something, but she kept interrupting him, so he was a little annoyed and replied:
"Mao Xia didn't do very well on the test this time; she only got 69 points in math!"
"69 points? How is that possible!" Zhou Fangchun's expression suddenly changed, then she smiled. "I heard that this exam was quite difficult. My daughter Mao Xia, who is third in the grade, only got 69. The other students' scores weren't high either, were they?"
"The highest scorer in our class is Jiang Qilue, who scored 90 points."
Zhou Fangchun forced a smile and said to Chu Yu, "I told you the test was difficult, otherwise my Xiaxia wouldn't have gotten this score."
Zhang Zhihe walked up to Chu Yu and took a test paper out of the bicycle basket.
"Did you do this test paper?"
Chu Yu recognized his own handwriting and nodded.
Dai Donglin leaned closer, and after seeing the score at the top of the exam paper, he curled his lips into a slight smile and asked very discreetly:
"Teacher Zhang, right? That guy who was third in his grade only got 69, but my son got 100. What level would that be in your Deyang Middle School?"
