Chapter 204: Teacher Shen's Review Class
"If he had a tail, he'd be flying high," An Hui whispered to Yuan Xiu.
Yuan Xiu laughed, recalling how Jiang Zhou reacted when he held up the baby and showed it off to Political Commissar Wang's daughter at birth.
Teacher Shen also came, bringing Xiao Xuanxuan with her. After Jiang Zhou finished showing off, Yuan Xiu and An Hui took the children over. Xiao Xuanxuan was a few months older than the two little ones and had already started babbling baby talk.
The three boys were stunned when they met, probably thinking: Who is this?
Little Xuanxuan: "Oh—"
The brother and sister: "..."
"Eee-yah-yah—"
The brother and sister: "..."
Little Xuanxuan tilted her head and reached out to grab it: "Ya ya—"
Teacher Shen pulled her away; "Don't grab her, these are your younger brother and sister, you can play together when you're older."
Little Xuanxuan looked up at her mother and said, "Oh—"
After saying "Oh," clap your hands happily!
The brother and sister blinked and stared at her. After a while, they waved their hands and feet vigorously in support!
Mother Shen actually made a set of small clothes for each of the two children. "I made them a little big; even a one-year-old can wear them. What do you think?"
"Auntie did a really good job!" Yuan Xiu smiled as she took the clothes and held them up against the children.
An Hui picked it up and looked at it. "I don't know how to make these things. I always think they're too troublesome and difficult. It seems my two little ones won't be able to wear the clothes I make."
The local custom is that when a baby reaches one month old, the elders in the family make a special outfit for the baby. However, An Hui doesn't know how to make one, so the clothes her baby is wearing are ready-made clothes she bought at a department store.
Mother Shen smiled and said, "Even if I can't make it, buying it for you to wear is the same thing; it's all about the thought."
Chunmei's sisters-in-law also prepared gifts for the two children. Some gave them small hats, some gave them tiger-head shoes, and others gave them small socks and baby blankets. Everything was in pairs.
Even Dr. Liu gave the two children mosquito-repellent sachets that he had made himself.
Yuan Xiu hadn't seen her master for over two months. Doctor Liu had already learned from his daughter-in-law that she was going to take the college entrance exam, and he offered her a few words of encouragement.
"Study hard. If you can get into the Traditional Chinese Medicine department of medical school, your future will be bright."
"I will, Master!" Yuan Xiu replied earnestly.
Dr. Liu squinted at the two children a few times, then smiled and was helped to sit down by his daughter-in-law.
Before the meal started, the two little ones received quite a few gifts. They probably knew these were for them, and they kept smiling with their little mouths open, not getting angry no matter who teased them.
His eyes would occasionally dart towards the pile of gifts next to him.
An Hui joked with Yuan Xiu in private, "Aren't you two money-grubbers?"
Yuan Xiu thought to herself, "Maybe it's true. Ever since my mother-in-law gave me the gold bracelet, the two little ones have been waving their hands around more often."
I took them off as soon as I went out today. They're too conspicuous. If the people in the compound see them, they'll probably nag about them for a long time.
After the banquet officially began, An Hui took out her camera from her handbag and started taking pictures to commemorate the occasion.
An Hui brought this camera from home. She had prepared several rolls of film before coming here, and she took many photos of the children during her postpartum period.
"Auntie even brought a camera! Oh dear, won't she have to take pictures of us all?" Sister Xiulan tugged at her clothes, unaccustomed to facing the camera.
An Hui smiled and said, "You all just do what you're supposed to do. I'll just take a few pictures and show them to the children when they're older."
That's what they said, but when An Hui's camera was on everyone, they all straightened their backs and smiled.
After taking a few photos, Teacher Shen stood up and said, "Let me take some family photos for you."
An Hui handed her the camera, "Take whatever you like, just casual photos, don't be too stiff."
Teacher Shen took several photos of Yuan Xiu and her family of five, some of them sitting and eating, some standing and toasting, and even Aunt Zhao was pulled in for a few photos as souvenirs.
The last photo of the full moon banquet was taken by the hotel manager. All the guests were standing at the entrance of the state-owned hotel, and with a click, time stood still!
……
After the full moon celebration, Yuan Xiu began her intensive review period.
She hardly had to worry about the two children. An Hui and Aunt Zhao took good care of them, only bringing them to her when they were feeding. After feeding, they would immediately take them away. If the children cried, they would take them outside and use the flowers and plants to distract them.
Teacher Shen customized a complete review plan for Yuan Xiu to prepare for the exam. Sun Ying, who came to Yuan Xiu to review together, originally wanted to learn from it, but found that her learning progress was far behind Yuan Xiu's.
"Your learning pace is different from Yuan Xiu's. She has already finished the entire high school textbook, while you haven't even looked at the high school textbook. You're not reviewing; you should try to learn as much high school knowledge as possible within this month," Teacher Shen suggested to Sun Ying when she saw this.
Sun Ying was somewhat discouraged. "A month? I can't do it."
"What kind of school do you want to apply to? A vocational school or a university?"
"I guess I'll go to a vocational school. With my current condition, there's no hope for university."
"This year's college entrance exam will have the same test for vocational school students and university students, but different cut-off scores. The cut-off score for vocational school students here is estimated to be around 220 points, while the cut-off score for university is only a few tens of points. Try your best to get 200 points first. I'll go to school tomorrow to get a set of test papers for you to do, so we can see how well you've learned the knowledge points from junior high school."
Sun Ying nodded obediently.
After Teacher Shen left, Sun Ying breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Are you that scared?"
Sun Ying nodded: "I'm most afraid of teachers. My sister-in-law originally wanted to ask Teacher Shen for help, but I stopped her."
Why are you stopping me?
Sun Ying blinked. "I'm afraid Teacher Shen will scold me."
Yuan Xiu: ...Teacher Shen doesn't swear?
"Everything I said to you yesterday was a waste of time! Are your brains filled with tofu dregs?! At your current pace of study, you're not even going to get into university! Pack your bags and get back to work!"
Sun Ying and Wang Ting hunched their shoulders like two quails, their faces showing the utmost grievance.
That's right, "Teacher Shen's Tutoring Class" has gained another student, Wang Ting, who is also going to take the college entrance examination.
Yuan Xiu, the only one who wasn't scolded, touched the tip of her nose. Well, it was because she was naive.
