My Wife Is A Miracle Doctor In The 80s

Chapter 240: Chapter 233: Trio

Could it be the three of them?

“That Chen Lidong, is it the same one we met before?”

Teacher Jin asked with difficulty, it felt like a gigantic pie had fallen from the sky straight onto her head, and was about to knock her senseless.

“Yes,” Xu Miaomiao nodded, “it’s our three.”

Teacher Jin looked at Xu Miaomiao’s face for a while, then, with shaking hands, wrote their names down. Their class had gained three good students this time, she wondered if Teacher Song would go green with envy when she saw their grades.

However, sometimes grades can’t represent everything. Only when the preliminary examination is over can we truly know where their limits lie, whether they are talents that can be molded, whether they can get into college, whether they can bring honor to their class, and whether they can be intensively cultivated.

Teacher Song was quite satisfied with her students this time, many of them had scored over 600 points.

Coincidentally, Teacher Jin, clutching the class roster, walked over in what seemed like a good mood, even managing a smile. What, a heap of failing students could induce laughter? It must be because of their recent grades, even if they were at the bottom of the barrel.

“Good morning, Teacher Jin.”

Teacher Song was still smiling, but everyone could tell her smile held a hint of sarcasm.

“Good morning, Teacher Song,” Teacher Jin was in a good mood right now, so she didn’t mind Teacher Song’s passive-aggressive comments.

“Our students’ overall performance this time is quite good, all scoring over 600 points, which should lead to a decent college admission rate for our class,” she spoke at a brisk pace, as if trying to belittle the achievement of scoring 600 points. Everyone knew that anyone scoring 600 points would be among the top students in the school, and they would have a better chance of getting into a good college.

If this were the past, Teacher Jin would have definitely been angry. No matter how good her temper was, she couldn’t tolerate these sly digs.

“Congratulations then,” Teacher Jin smiled at her, then walked past Teacher Song with her belongings.

Teacher Song’s smile froze on her face. Was there something wrong with Teacher Jin’s brain? Had she given up completely on the class she was in charge of?

“Humph!” she sneered, “we’ll see who gets the last laugh after the exams,”. Teacher Song had never lost before, and never considered the possibility of losing. They were always in first place. They merely differed in terms of being counted down from the top or up from the bottom.

It’s unsurprising that the two of them are at odds like this, each looking down on the other, and not liking each other.

The high school term started without much difference from junior high, the only distinction was the students, who came from all over Qing’an.

In truth, Class One wasn’t as unbearable as others thought. Though there were more underperformers, it didn’t mean they were all of poor character. On the contrary, most of these students were shy and innocent.

In reality, which student nowadays isn’t innocent? In this age of innocence, even people’s nature has become more innocent.

High school coursework is indeed much harder than that of junior high. Tang Yuxin thought if they hadn’t done some pre-learning, honestly, the difficulty of study would have been a bit too much, no matter how good their learning abilities, strain was inevitable.

“I feel so tired,” Xu Miaomiao slumped on the table, her head spun from the past few days. Why did her absorption abilities suddenly become so poor?

If every day was like that, she was afraid she might lose her mind.

“You’ll get used to it.”

Yes, getting used to it was the answer. Tang Yuxin herself had walked down the same path. Instead of suffering unbearably in the third year of high school, it was better to keep herself under tight control from the first year of high school.

Well, what else could Xu Miaomiao say? Tang Yuxin and Chen Lidong had endured, if she didn’t keep up with them, their trio would turn into a duo, and she would get kicked out. It would be such an embarrassing thing. Anyway, no matter how hard they tried, they would never get her to agree to leave the group.

Their high school life, starting from day one, gave them a feeling of tension, of never being able to relax. Now their nerves had started to crack too.

They dared not give up on studying at any time throughout the day.

The first thing they did when they got home wasn’t eating but studying at Xu Miaomiao’s house. This was a habit that had been cultivated since junior high. Seeing the three kids working hard, Miaomiao’s mom had once secretly told Miaomiao’s dad that she believed that the kids would certainly get into high school.

So, letting three students stay together was indeed the right choice. One individual might lack self-discipline, but three could encourage and compare with each other.

If it weren’t for that, how could Xu Miaomiao, with her impatient nature, study so persistently? Back when she was in the first grade of junior high school, she would watch TV and play all day. Now, she rarely turned on the TV.

Xu Miaomiao handed her pen to Chen Lidong.

“Help me change the refill.”

“Alright,” Chen Lidong immediately opened the pen, replaced the refill without saying no, and threw it back to Xu Miaomiao.

“Thank you,” Xu Miaomiao took her pen from Chen Lidong, waggled it in the air, and resumed solving her problems.

At night, Tang Yuxin brought over a basin, pouring some herbal medicine into it which made Xu Miaomiao’s eyes sparkle. She quickly grabbed a stool and dipped her feet in it.

“Yuxin, where do you get these amazing remedies? No matter how tired I am during the day or how much I think at night, I never suffer from insomnia. And look at my eyes,” she pointed to her eyes, “I have such good vision, I’m not nearsighted at all. Look at our classmates; many of them are wearing glasses.”

Xu Miaomiao was naturally aware of the benefits of these herbs. Tang Yuxin had said that soaking with this herbal mixture not only cleared the mind and improved one’s spirit, but also helped the eyes. And she had witnessed its effects herself.

Tang Yuxin also brought over a basin for herself. The water in the pot carried a mild color of Chinese medicine and emitted a faint aroma of herbs.

Tang Yuxin had been soaking her feet in this herbal water since she was a young child, so the soles of her feet had always been very soft. Traditional Chinese medicine says that the soles of the feet correspond to the five internal organs of the human body. Feet are the body’s second heart, so one should take good care of them.
