The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 271 I don't know what an opponent is
"My husband said the same thing. If you think about it, this is a major event in the child's life, more important than getting married. It will change his fate, so both my husband and I have taken leave."

"It's the only chance for an ordinary person to make the leap from a carp to a dragon, and it's almost absolutely fair." Liu Hua said with a smile, "It's never too important to attach great importance to it."

"That's right." The man said cheerfully, "Our whole family is counting on our child to bring honor to our family. Fortunately, the child is also hardworking and his grades are always among the best in the school. I estimate that he should be able to go to a good university and become a cadre in the future."

"Then I wish your child will succeed in getting the top prize."

The man smiled as he heard this, and then asked, "Brother, how is your child? Which school did he apply to?"

“Huaqing University.”

"Wow." The man gave a thumbs up and said, "Your child must have top grades. Our child is enrolled in a university of technology and a normal university. They are far inferior to your child."

The two chatted casually, and Liu Feifei also chatted with their wives. Liu Hua was relatively calm and composed, but the man next to him looked at his watch every now and then and looked more nervous than the students in the examination room.

"Relax." Liu Hua comforted him, "No matter how nervous you are, at least don't act nervous in front of your child these two days. Your nervousness will bring pressure to him. Not only should you not be nervous, you also have to persuade your child not to be nervous."

"Yes, what you said makes sense." The man nodded and said, "My family is not well educated, so we don't understand these twists and turns. We have to listen to you educated people."

In less than an hour and a half, Liu Guodong came out with a pencil case and one hand in his pocket. He really didn't know what an opponent was.

Liu Feifei also saw it, and hurried over to take the pencil case from his hand: "It's been less than an hour and a half, and you're already out. I hope the invigilator kicked you out."

"Mom, can't you just remember me a little bit?" Liu Guodong said with a smile, "It's such a simple test, I can get at least 110 points just by writing casually."

"Just keep blowing it." Liu Feifei said angrily, "I just talked to someone, and he said that Chinese is very difficult. Most of the time, their children only get 80 or 90 points. If they are good, they can get 100 points. It is too difficult to get 110 points."

Liu Guodong said cheerfully: "The reason why they can't get high scores is that Chinese is all subjective questions. Memorizing by rote is useless. They can only expand their reading range, read more extracurricular books, and read more classics."

"Here's nonsense."

Liu Hua shook his head: "It's really not a fallacy. Look, I never stop this kid from reading extracurricular books. Chinese is all about literary accomplishment. You don't have enough background. You can't write a good article just by relying on what you learned from textbooks."

Liu Guodong nodded: "Yes, I have read the four great classics several times. I have read Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio and Three Words and Two Shots. I have even read Zhaoming Wenxuan. I have also read a lot of foreign works. One Hundred Years of Solitude is just a self-inflicted depression."

The parent next to him was wide-eyed. First of all, he was sure that Liu Hua did not lie to him and his son's grades must be really good. In fact, he never expected that Liu Hua's son would be able to leave the examination room so quickly, in just an hour and a half, and there was still an hour left.

The third thing that was unexpected was that Liu Hua actually let his son read extracurricular books, while at home, his own son was working hard to study and read extracurricular books, and he didn't even have time to watch the news.

There were some other parents outside the examination room. When they saw the students coming out, they all gathered around.

"Kid, is the exam difficult this year?" "Why did you come out so quickly? Don't you know how to do it?"

Liu Guodong shrugged his shoulders as he was talking at once. "It's very simple. It's a Chinese language test. As long as you read enough, you can get a passing score even without studying the textbooks."

Except for the parent next to him, no one else believed it. Who could believe that such a child could be a good child?

Liu Feifei absolutely believes in her son. Although he is sometimes naughty and does not follow the rules, he never lies and never says anything he is not sure of.

"Don't be proud even if you did well in the exam. Mom will make you something delicious."

Liu Hua's vehicle now is not a bicycle. He is rich, so when Santana was launched last year, he bought one. It was the first one in the nearby streets. Neighbors all came to see the novelty, and Liu Hua also invited relatives and friends to celebrate.

Seeing the family of four get into a small car, these people were envious. Some even said, "They must be nouveau riche businessmen who drive a small car. How can such a family have educated people? It's obvious that the child has poor academic performance."

An hour later, all the children came out and the parents began to question them, and the children all complained.

These people started to say, "I knew it. The one who came out an hour early must have a bad grade. He came out an hour early, so I'm afraid he'll just have his name written on the paper."

At this time, a child said, "I don't know about other things, but there was only one person in our examination room who left an hour early. He was a city three-good student. He had been the top student in the school since the first year of high school, and he even refused the recommendation of Huaqing University."

This group of parents had been waiting at the door. There were only seven or eight people in the entire examination room who came out to hand in their papers early, but Liu Guodong was the only one who came out an hour in advance.

No one said anything at that time. How could a person who has always been the top student in the school be a poor student? If others think it is easy, then it must be really easy for them. If your own children think it is difficult, then it is because it is really difficult for them.

For the seven exams, Liu Guodong arrived at each exam an average of half an hour to an hour early. For the biology exam, he handed in his paper in just one hour.

There were legends about him outside the examination room. Every time they came up to ask Liu Guodong whether the course was difficult, Liu Guodong would always say it was not difficult, not difficult at all, and that it could be easily finished, and that it was not challenging at all.

But every time their children come out, they complain that the test is too difficult. At first, they all think that their children are not good at studying.

But when they saw that it was not just one or two people who were having a hard time, but everyone was having a hard time, all the parents realized that Liu Guodong was not on the same level as their children.

Their children are able to take the college entrance examination, which means they are already at the second or third level, while students like Liu Guodong are not even at the fourth level, but may have reached the fifth or sixth level.

The only thing in the minds of many parents is envy.
