Chapter 15 Discussion
Because of a delay at Teacher Jiang's place, Xia Yutong returned home more than half an hour later than usual.
As soon as Xia's mother heard the door open, she put down the spatula in her hand, turned off the gas, and hurried out to see her daughter.
Seeing that nothing happened to Xia Yutong, she was relieved. Her daughter had always been very sensible and would come home on time after school. Even if she was going to play at a classmate's house, she would greet her in advance, so she was late for more than half an hour today. She was really worried.
"Tongtong, what happened today? Why are you later than usual?" Xia's mother asked.
Just as Xia Yutong was about to answer, a pendant suddenly appeared on her leg.
When Xia Yuhang came home from kindergarten, he hugged his toy box and sat on the special bench at the door. He played with toys and waited for his sister. But he looked at the clock on the wall and saw that when it was time for her to get out of school, she didn't come back! Then more than five minutes passed, and my sister still didn’t reply! Then it took more than ten minutes, and my sister still didn't come back!
The children stopped playing with toys and stared at the door, looking at the wall clock for a while...
Fortunately, my sister finally came back. Xia Yuhang, a child, immediately transformed into a small cannonball and hung onto his sister's leg with a "swish".
Xia Yutong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but looking at Xia Yuhang's aggrieved face, she decided to comfort him first: "Are you anxious, Hanghang? I'm sorry, my sister is delayed because of something. As compensation, can you take Hanghang to eat on the weekend?"
"Okay!" Xia Yuhang nodded heavily. He loved sweet candies the most, and of course his sister was the most loved one!
His most beloved sister took him to eat his favorite candies. It’s beautiful just thinking about it, hehe~
Xia Yutong took off the "leg pendant" and walked to the living room holding it in his hand: "Mom, there is something delayed. When Dad comes back, I want to discuss something with you."
"Discussing things?" Xia's mother was a little curious, but she didn't ask in a hurry, thinking that Xia's father would be off work soon anyway, so it would be fine to talk about it together during dinner, so she went back to the kitchen to work on dinner.
When it was time for dinner, Xia Yutong was not in a hurry to talk about things. Instead, he accompanied his family to finish the meal peacefully. He also diligently helped Xia's mother put away the tableware and wash the dishes. Then she took Xia's father and Xia's mother to sit on the sofa. down.
Xia Yutong thought for a moment, organized her words, and then said: "Mom, Dad, here's the thing. I came home late today because Teacher Jiang came to see me in math class. He told me about the National Primary School Mathematical Olympiad Competition. He wants to use my spare time after class these past few months to tutor me and another classmate in this area, and then help us sign up for the preliminaries in the city in March next year."
Xia Yutong paused for a moment to let Xia's father and mother Xia digest the news.
Xia's mother only knew that her daughter had represented the school in the city's singing competition, and she had never heard of the National Mathematical Olympiad, so she turned to look at Xia's father.
Dad Xia had indeed heard of it. This competition started a few years ago, and it was only in the past two or three years that the city began to select talents to participate in the provincial competition, but he had never heard of anyone participating in it in Chun County.
Xia's father knew about this because he had a friend who worked in the Municipal Education Bureau. In his previous life, this friend also helped Xia Yutong go through the transfer procedures for No. 1 Middle School in the city.
Dad Xia asked Xia Yutong: "Tongtong, what do you think?"
"Dad, I want to give it a try. Teacher Jiang is a very knowledgeable person. Even if he doesn't win the prize in the end, the knowledge he teaches is still very valuable."
Xia's father saw that his daughter had already made up her mind. Naturally, he supported such a good thing. He just spent his energy on the Mathematical Olympiad. He didn't know if it would affect his daughter's performance in other subjects.
Xia Yutong knew what Dad Xia was thinking by looking at his expression, so he said, "Dad, if you are afraid of affecting my usual grades, then you can rest assured that I have already studied all the knowledge in the first volume of sixth grade by myself, and this time I will I did pretty well in the high school entrance examination, and it won’t affect my admission to the city’s No. 1 Middle School.”
After hearing what his daughter said, Xia's father felt relieved. His daughter had been very reliable since she was a child.
Now that the matter was decided, Xia's father wanted to encourage his daughter. Just as he was about to speak, he thought of the midterm exam results his daughter had just mentioned, so he asked first: "Did you do well in the midterm exam this time? Did you rank in the top ten?"
"Yeah, yeah, I did pretty well this time. I got first place in the exam!" Xia Yutong grinned at Dad Xia, showing his big white teeth.
"What? What's your rank?" The one who reacted the most was Xia's mother, who suddenly stood up.
Xia Yutong looked at Xia's mother and continued to smile: "It's the first place!"
Xia's mother was afraid that she had heard wrongly, so she turned to look at Xia's father for confirmation.
Xia's father was still digesting this "big" news. He waited for a while before asking Xia Yutong again for confirmation: "First place in the whole grade?"
"Yeah!" Xia Yutong nodded with a smile.
"Hahaha~" Xia's father slapped his thigh and burst into laughter. His daughter was so impressive!
Xia's mother squeezed directly to her daughter, hugged her precious daughter, and kissed her daughter's little face.
Child Xia Yuhang was sitting on the edge watching his favorite cat and mouse, but was suddenly interrupted by his father's laughter. Then he saw his mother hugging his sister. He immediately stepped forward to squeeze in between the two of them, not to be outdone. In the middle, I gave my sister a loving kiss.
Suddenly the family huddled together and laughed.
After a while, the family sat down again and continued the unfinished topic.
Dad Xia still couldn't hold back his smile, and bared his big white teeth: "My daughter is really amazing. You see, as long as she studies hard, nothing will happen to anyone else! She got first place in the exam right away! Hahaha~"
As he spoke, he laughed again.
It was Xia's mother who thought of business and asked about Xia Yutong's score.
Xia Yutong reported the scores with a smile, and Xia's father and mother Xia were silent for a moment.
What kind of fairy daughter did they give birth to? I have never heard of anyone in school getting such high scores.
