Chapter 66 Don't you usually ask about your child's grades?
The next day, as soon as Zhao Chunyan returned, she asked Deng Xiuzhen, "Don't you usually ask about the children's grades?"
Deng Xiuzhen was startled. She stopped doing business and left her customers to say to Zhao Chunyan, "I'm usually busy, and all sorts of things have been happening lately. I also thought the child was quite obedient, so I didn't ask. Is it because the child's grades aren't good enough to get into the top high school?"
In her previous life, Wenjing's grades were just average. She progressed through the ranks in a very ordinary way, and finally barely managed to get into a third-tier university. After graduating, she was taken to work in Kyoto by a friend. There, she met her son-in-law who worked in Kyoto and was able to stay in the city.
Those were achievements obtained by not doing housework and only studying.
Now she does housework every day when she gets home, and helps out at the shop on weekends.
In order to let her get to know society and learn more about the outside world as early as possible, I never interfered with her reading of leisure books, and I also asked Qin Yanlin not to interfere.
Is this why her grades are even worse than in her previous life, and she can't get into the top high school even with connections?
Deng Xiuzhen felt flustered.
Zhao Chunyan smiled and said, "This is the most outrageous person I've ever asked for."
"Then, then I won't look for you anymore. I'm so sorry to have troubled you!" Deng Xiuzhen apologized repeatedly, feeling ashamed and unable to lift her head.
"There's no need to look anymore. When the head of the teaching department heard that I was pleading for Qin Wenjing, he asked me, 'Is it Qin Wenjing from No. 3 Elementary School? That child is quite outstanding; she's of excellent character and excels in both academics and sports!'"
"Oh, you have no idea how embarrassed I was. I teach at the Third Elementary School, and my colleagues had mentioned some of the top students there. I vaguely remembered them, but when you brought them up, I couldn't recall them at all. My brain is just like that!"
"Huh?" Deng Xiuzhen looked up. Zhao Chunyan was praising Wenjing. Was Wenjing really that outstanding? Even the head of the teaching department at No. 1 Middle School knew about her? How come I didn't know?
"I'm not convinced! I've seen your child before, and I've seen his martial arts skills. The way he protected you that day made me so envious. The more I thought about it when I got home, the angrier I got. I really wanted to throw my own child away!"
So when I heard that your child wanted to get into the top high school, I volunteered to find someone to help. As a mother, who wouldn't want to protect their child?
But I only found out today that she is not only brave, but also has such good grades!
"You say you usually run a business, and when your children come home, they're busy cooking, sweeping, washing clothes, doing everything. I've never seen them study, so how come their grades are so good?" Zhao Chunyan looked at Deng Xiuzhen, her eyes filled with envy.
"What about my child getting into No. 1 Middle School?" Deng Xiuzhen was still in a daze, her mind still not quite clear.
"Your daughter Wenjing can choose which middle school she wants to attend. Several schools will probably be fighting over her!" Zhao Chunyan said cheerfully.
She was secretly pleased. When the head of student affairs heard about it, he quietly asked her, "Is that child a relative of yours? Could you talk to her parents and ask her to come to our school?"
I guess many people now know that the top student in this year's primary school to junior high school entrance exam is her neighbor, who is the daughter of her best friend.
Zhao Chunyan happily went home.
Deng Xiuzhen was lost in thought, but the customers didn't leave. Instead, they waited quietly. One of the women cautiously asked, "Is your daughter the top student in this year's junior high school entrance exam?"
"I don't know!" Deng Xiuzhen replied; she truly didn't know.
How does your child usually study?
Does your child attend tutoring classes?
"Was it corrected here with Teacher Zhao?"
"What time does she usually study until?"
"Where did your child take the practice questions from?"
……
Customers rushed to ask questions.
The noise was driving Deng Xiuzhen crazy. She calmed herself down and said, "I'm sorry, the results haven't come out yet, so I really don't know how she did. Why don't you buy what you want first, and I'll let you know when the results come out, okay?"
That's definitely possible. Customers should hurry up and buy things. Everyone wants to leave a good impression on Deng Xiuzhen so they can get good study methods from her, or even have a top student tutor their child.
Some parents, having made an impression on Deng Xiuzhen, even sneakily went to Zhao Chunyan's house to inquire about her tutoring services.
When Wenjing returned from her classmate's house, Deng Xiuzhen asked her about her studies. Wenjing smiled and said, "Studying is just about listening carefully in class, reviewing what I've learned after class, and doing a few practice problems. It's not difficult at all."
During the exam, I kept a calm mindset. I did the same way I practiced solving problems during the exam, and it went quite well; I didn't feel any pressure.
"You really got first place?" Deng Xiuzhen's voice trembled with excitement.
"I don't know, the results haven't come out yet. But it's possible, because I thought the questions on the exam were pretty easy, and I knew how to do them all. After I finished, I checked them again, so I should be able to get a high score." Wenjing thought for a moment and asked, "Mom, why did you think of this?"
"You're about to enter junior high school, and I'm worried you'll be assigned to No. 2 Middle School. It's far away, not only is it unsafe, but you'll also have to attend morning and evening self-study sessions, which will reduce your rest time. You're still growing, and I want to transfer you to No. 1 Middle School, but I can't find anyone to help me."
Then your Aunt Zhao helped find someone, and then she said that others said you were number one. "Deng Xiuzhen said.
"and then?"
"Then your Aunt Zhao said you don't need to find anyone, you can go to whichever middle school you want. And then the customers who come to the store are really nice, they don't haggle over anything, they just want to ask you for advice later, hehehe," Deng Xiuzhen said with a smile. The old mother felt especially honored that her child got first place.
"Isn't that troublesome?" Wenjing frowned.
"What trouble? As soon as your Aunt Zhao heard that I wanted you to go to No. 1 Middle School, she offered to help without saying a word. We should be grateful for her kindness and repay her."
We can have those parents go to her for tutoring, and you can occasionally go and give them some pointers. This way, we can repay Aunt Zhao's kindness and also save others from coming to you.
“That’s a good idea, Mom. You should go and talk to Aunt Zhao quickly so we can discuss things and avoid letting anything slip. But Aunt Zhao is a very honest person, so we need to be tactful and not make things difficult for her.” Wenjing said, flipping through the book in her hand to show her.
Deng Xiuzhen smiled and pushed her away, saying, "I know, I just told her to help you out, that she would also guide you in your studies when she has time, so that everyone wouldn't be looking for you and you wouldn't be too busy."
When Deng Xiuzhen mentioned it to Zhao Chunyan, Zhao Chunyan indeed disagreed, saying that she had never tutored Wenjing and that saying so was a lie, a false advertisement, and a violation of professional ethics.
Only after Deng Xiuzhen's repeated requests did she agree not to say anything. Everyone could sign up for tutoring classes, and Wenjing could come over and chat with her classmates and do homework together when she had time.
