Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

"Xiguan District No. 2 Middle School?"

On the first day of July, my second sister-in-law received an admission letter in her mailbox, which clearly said "Xiguan District No. 7 Middle School". If the No. Middle School and Yingyuan Middle School jointly run by No. Middle School are one of the four major private schools, then No. Middle School is one of the four major public schools.

"Hubby, Hubby." The second sister-in-law did not open the letter, but ran into the living room and shouted to the second brother. Everyone in the room followed the second brother out after hearing the voice, "What's the matter? Hubby, you're crying like a funeral, what happened?" The second brother said impatiently.

"Where is Tianxiu?" asked the second sister-in-law.

"Tianxiu, Tianyou and Paul are playing in the courtyard with Siyu, Siqi and Zhizi. What's going on?" the second brother replied.

The second sister-in-law insisted that the second brother call Tianxiu out first, so Zhu Wanling went in and called Tianxiu out. Then the second sister-in-law raised the letter in her hand and said, "It's the school notification letter."

The second brother waved his hand, "It's just a notice, right? I thought it was something else." He snatched the envelope from the second sister-in-law's hand and was about to open it, but the second sister-in-law quickly stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, wait a minute, let me sit down first, my legs are a little weak."

"It's really useless. The school has already sent you a letter of admission. What are you afraid of? Would they send you a letter of admission if you were not admitted?" The second brother waved his hand, opened the envelope and read: "Admission letter, Kang Tianxiu, you have been admitted to our school as a first-grade student. Please register at our school on August 3rd."

"I've registered and passed the exam." My father smiled happily when he heard it, "Xiguan No. 2 Middle School, a key middle school, a famous school."

The second brother and his wife laughed happily. The second sister-in-law laughed so hard that she burst into tears and said, "Husband, you are such a good guy. You are from Xiguan No. 2 Middle School."

"Great, great. Well, second sister-in-law, this is a big event for the Kang family after all. Add more dishes and I'll pay for it. Haha." The old man Lao Huai comforted her. He has always loved his eldest grandson Tianxiu very much.

"I'm going now." The second sister-in-law walked out the door holding the notice, and Aunt Zhen quickly followed her. The second brother shouted at her: "Give me the notice, why are you carrying it with you? Be careful not to lose you."

"I'm going to tell everyone." The second sister-in-law said as a matter of course. If I don't tell everyone that I got admitted to a key middle school, wouldn't it be the same as not getting admitted?

After the second sister-in-law left, Kang Qirui patted the second brother on the shoulder and said, "Since Xiuzi has been admitted to Xiguan No. 2 Middle School, then we don't need the quota for the affiliated middle school, right? I'll withdraw."

Er Lao nodded, "No, no. Your affiliated high school is not as far as Leigong. It takes an hour to go to school. No. 1 High School is better. It only takes about 10 minutes to walk." Both schools are famous schools, one private and one public. It is hard to say which one is better than the other. But the fact that Xiguan No. High School is closer to home beats Zhongda Affiliated High School. Er Lao naturally likes Xiguan No. High School more. It was originally a happy thing, but the second sister-in-law came back with a dark face. When she came back, she didn't talk to everyone. She put down her things and went back to her room. Er Lao hurriedly asked Aunt Zhen who went out to buy vegetables with her: "What's the matter?"

Aunt Zhen sighed and said, "Those neighbors, A-chan was originally happy to share with them the good news that Tianxiu was admitted to Xiguan No. 180 Middle School, but they ended up saying more and more outrageous things. They said that Tianxiu's three subjects combined only had points, which was not enough, and that he was lucky to be admitted to Xiguan No. Middle School. They said that A-chan was bragging about it like a rooster crowing in the middle of the night."

The rooster crows at midnight, which is 1 a.m., or the hour of Chou. The rooster crows at the hour of Chou, which means that the rooster does not know when the hour of Chou is, so the idiom "the rooster crows at midnight - wuzhi chou" is derived, which means that a person has no shame.

"Wow, how could they do this?" The second brother got angry when he heard his wife was humiliated.

"On the way, we met Liangzai, the kid at the corner of the street who always got the top score in Tianxiu School. He scored 299 points in three subjects, but the computer assigned him to the worst middle school in Xiguan. Compared with Tianxiu's grades, everyone felt it was very unfair. So when Achan went to complain, people didn't like her anymore." Aunt Zhen said so, and then she went into the kitchen to make dinner.

"Liangzai went to the worst one in Xiguan?" Kang Qirui became suspicious after hearing what Aunt Zhen said. Er Lao touched his arm when he saw Kang Qirui's expression and asked, "What are you thinking about? What school someone goes to is none of your business."

"I was thinking that the degree I asked for Xiuzi could be given to Liangzi." Kang Qirui made the decision. "Liangzi's grades are obvious to all. He basically always gets first place in the exams. This time, he scored 299 points in the junior high school entrance exam, which is only 1 point away from the full score. Giving him the degree can be regarded as recruiting a talent for the school."

Kang Qirui went out after he finished speaking. He came to Liangzi's house at the corner of the street and explained his purpose to Liangzi's parents. They were worried about Liangzi's schooling, and when they heard that he could go to Zhongda High School, they naturally nodded and agreed immediately. Although it was a little far, at least his son went to a key middle school, and with Liangzi's grades, he would definitely go to a key class. It was truly a hell turned into heaven!

After the news that Kang Qirui helped Liangzai get into Zhongda High School spread, many parents came to ask Kang Qirui for help. Kang Qirui did not refuse immediately or agree at the first time, but carefully asked about their usual academic performance and scores in the primary to junior high school entrance examination. It is not impossible for him to save a talented child who was assigned to a poor school by computer.

Unfortunately, the results were mostly from parents of poor students like Tianxiu, but not those with good character and academic performance like Liangzai. Therefore, after Kang Qirui understood the situation clearly, he did not help any of them.

This of course offended many neighbors. Everyone was gossiping about Kang Qirui behind his back, saying that he accepted money from Liangzi's family before agreeing to help. Kang Qirui was completely ignorant of such rumors, and he didn't bother to explain. Liangzi's excellence was obvious to all. When he took Liangzi to handle the formalities that day, Principal Yan of the attached middle school saw Liangzi's scores and his usual grades and excitedly wanted to treat Kang Qirui to a drink, thanking him for helping the school find a potential student who could top the middle school entrance examination.

As for Tianxiu, after being angry that day, the second sister-in-law thought about it and decided to give Tianxiu some good tutoring during the summer vacation, otherwise he would be assigned to a poor student class after school started, which would be worse than sending him to an ordinary school. The second sister-in-law didn't have a very high goal, she just hoped that Tianxiu could at least go to an ordinary class.

For this reason, she specially went to ask Liangzi's parents how they usually educate Liangzi. Liangzi's parents are now very grateful to the Kang family, which not only solved the school problem, but also saved them from paying high sponsorship fees. Therefore, they also shared their educational experience with them. In the end, the second sister-in-law combined their experience to develop a detailed study plan for Tianxiu. (End of this chapter)
