After Xia Junshan returned, he told Nan Li about his daughter reading comics at school and her poor math scores.
After hearing this, Nan Li was also a little shocked, "No way?! Why did Huanhuan's grades become like this all of a sudden?"
Before, although she knew that her daughter had scored 45 points in the math test, she only thought it was an occasional abnormal performance. But judging from the homework she usually does, she is already full of shocking mistakes.
"Three feet of ice does not freeze in a day." Zhong Yi said that Huanhuan's foundation is not solid, and he has always relied on cleverness to improve his grades. In the fifth grade, especially in the next semester, after the learning difficulty increases, cleverness will no longer be able to afford it. It worked." Xia Junshan explained.
"What should we do?" Nan Li also panicked and asked quickly.
"My idea is to send Huanhuan to a cram school." Xia Junshan suggested.
"Cram school?! It's not that serious. Can't we help her make up for it at home?" Nan Li was surprised when she heard this, "Besides, we are not trying to get into the academy, so we can just make up for her grades."
Hanlin Middle School is a local private junior high school with a good reputation. It has good academic performance and high quality of education. A large number of students are admitted to key middle schools in the high school entrance examination every year, so it is very popular among parents.
"I now feel that there is nothing wrong with competing for the Imperial Academy." Xia Junshan waved his hands and said, "You know, Zhong Yi told me today that the admission rate of Fengfan Middle School is only 61%. Guess, the rest Where did Thirty-nine go?”
"..." After hearing this, Nan Li couldn't help but be stunned.
"Honey, if we don't pay attention to it, Huanhuan won't even be able to go to a good university in the future. And it's obvious to both you and me how serious the employment situation is now. Bigger companies won't even take this book, let alone Don’t talk about junior college or technical secondary school.
If Huanhuan can't even go to an ordinary high school, what else do you think she can do in the future? Xia Junshan said excitedly.
He felt like his head was going to explode when he thought that such a beautiful, cute, smart, and fierce daughter might become a waste when she grew up.
"It's not that serious. Don't worry, let's go to various training institutions over the weekend to check on the situation." Nan Li comforted.
Xia Junshan nodded.
…
A few days later, there will be a holiday for Qingming Festival.
It happens to be Saturday and Sunday, so there are three days of holiday.
Xiang Nan asked Zhang Xueer to go on a self-driving trip together.
"Let's go to Suzhou to visit the gardens, then go boating on the blue waves of Taihu Lake, and finally go to Tongli to appreciate the water town customs. What do you think?" he asked with a smile.
"I think it's very good." Zhang Xueer smiled and nodded, "But this time, it will cost a lot of money."
During the three-day Tomb Sweeping Day holiday, the two of them would have spent two to three thousand yuan on food, drinks and fun, even if they didn't shop.
"Don't think of me as a money addict. For you, I am willing to spend more money." Xiang Nan smiled and took her hand.
"You, your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter." Zhang Xueer said happily.
"Then it's settled." Xiang Nan smiled.
"kindness."
…
After the Qingming Festival holiday, Xiang Nan and Zhang Xueer set off and drove to Suzhou together.
Xiang Nan specially prepared a small amount of 10,000 yuan for this trip, which he earned from stock trading.
The two of them drove alternately and headed all the way to Suzhou.
To be honest, the road is really crowded.
They drove out of the city at eight o'clock in the morning, but it was not until almost ten o'clock that they just left Jiangzhou City.
"Oh my god, why are there so many people out of the city today?" Zhang Xueer couldn't help but said.
"There is no way, there are too many people in Jiangzhou." Xiang Nan lamented, "Jiangzhou City has a population of 24 million, which is equivalent to the population of the whole country in the history of Australia. But the area of Jiangzhou is only one One thousandth of .
With so few resources, it’s strange that competition isn’t fierce. In Sydney, Australia, sea view apartments only cost 3 million. In Jiangzhou, a river-view house costs at least 20 million. "
"No wonder it's so difficult for students now." Zhang Xueer nodded, "With so many people gathered in big cities, the competition must be fierce, and if you relax even a little bit, you will be eliminated. This emotion naturally spreads to the children.
Now in the first grade of elementary school, I started attending cram schools. Among the thirty-one children in our class, only four have not attended cram school. "
"This is called involution." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "It's like everyone is watching a movie in a theater, and suddenly someone stood up. Others were forced to stand up in order to see the screen. In the end, everyone was Sitting and watching movies became standing watching.
Paying the same cost, you get the same or even worse experience than before. "
"So as public school teachers, we must maintain our original aspirations and provide the children with the best education." Zhang Xueer nodded.
"Yes, in fact, performance is secondary. The most important thing is that we must give our children a healthy body, correct outlook on life, a positive attitude and good habits.
If you only focus on achievements, you can only create a group of high-scoring, low-energy, or sophisticated egoists. Xiang Nan agreed.
"Zhong Yi, you are absolutely right." Zhang Xueer said happily, feeling closer to her boyfriend than ever before.
Xiang Nan smiled and nodded.
He knew that Zhang Xueer was an ideal educator, so he deliberately catered to her psychology. He said whatever she wanted to hear.
But in fact, in his heart, he still believed that a strict teacher would produce a good disciple. Because human nature is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, to enjoy leisure and avoid work. If you can lie down, you will not sit, and if you can sit, you will not stand.
And learning goes against nature. If left unchecked, most children will only play and not learn actively. Therefore, if you want to achieve good results, you must be strict.
Of course, Tian Yulan's approach was excessive. Xiang Nan doesn't advocate it either, but he even less advocates the so-called happy education of Xia Junshan and Nan Li.
You don’t have any mines at home, but you still dare to make a big show of yourself. Where do you get the courage?
…
Xiang Nan and Zhang Xueer drove in shifts and arrived in Suzhou two hours later.
They first visited the Humble Administrator's Garden, and then visited the Hanshan Temple. As expected, everywhere was crowded and crowded.
In the evening, the two of them went to Shiquan Street to check in and eat delicious food.
Shiquan Street was originally called Shiquan Street. It got its name because there were ten ancient wells along the street. During the Qianlong period, Emperor Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River and stayed at the Weaving Mansion.
Because Emperor Qianlong boasted that he was a Shiquan old man, local officials renamed Shiquan Street Shiquan Street in order to flatter him. Now it is a food street, with spicy chicken feet, yellow noodles, carrot cakes, beef soup, Subang cuisine...
The two of them ate and walked around, from beginning to end, eating from beginning to end. Have fun and eat well.
In the evening, the two stayed at a nearby hotel and booked a room.
Although Zhong Yi and Zhang Xueer fell in love when they were in college, they have been together for four years now. But for such a long time, the two have never had a close relationship.
This was mainly because Zhong Yi had an inferiority complex and felt that he was born into a poor family, so he did not dare to touch Zhang Xueer before officially getting married.
Xiang Nan doesn't have this worry. He believes that if there are flowers, you must break them straight away, and don't wait until there are no flowers to break branches.
Tonight, he will pick flowers.
