My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1259 Winter Vacation
The sound of wind came from outside the window.

The weather has probably been much better these past few days, so the wind is carrying the sound of leaves rustling. Many people like this kind of wind sound, which has a healing atmosphere, and Zhang You is no exception.

After Li Ran had practiced for about half an hour and started to complete the homework assigned by Xu Qingya, Zhang You took out his phone and filmed her movements and expressions, then sent the video to Xu Qingya.

Xu Qingya is definitely much more professional than him when it comes to violin and cello.

If Li Ran wants to learn well, she naturally has to wait patiently. The video is sent to Xu Qingya, and she can correct any mistakes in her movements in time.

After sending the video to Xu Qingya, Zhang You noticed that she didn't reply for a long time, so he knew that his second brother was probably still at work and couldn't watch the video.

Zhang You didn't insist. After Li Ran carefully put the violin in its case, closed the case, and placed it on the shelf next to the piano wall on the third floor, she left with Zhang You.

Zhang You was very pleased with this aspect of Li Ran's behavior.

Those who make music... don't need to have any reverence for instruments, but at the very least they must cherish them. Only by cherishing them can they devote themselves wholeheartedly.

"Zhang Zishan, come here."

Just got downstairs.

Wearing a light gray nightgown, Jiang Yiren sat on the sofa holding her youngest son. When she saw her daughter coming downstairs, she waved to Xiao Zishan with a rather unpleasant expression.

Xiao Zishan didn't go over, but moved closer to Zhang You and even reached out to hold her father's hand.

Zhang You knew this meant the exam results were out.

Zhang You couldn't say anything about the teacher's dedication. Schools are indeed different now. Whenever there are important exams, such as monthly exams, midterms, or finals, the results come out not long after the exam.

Zhang You remembers that when he was in school, teachers were very slow at grading test papers.

It's impossible to know the results in less than three to five days after the exam, and some even take more than a week.

It's also possible that Yew Wah International Primary School is too good... Teachers in such schools have very high salaries, so they are particularly motivated. They take exams during the day and the results come out at night.

A teacher teaches at least two classes, with more than fifty students in each class. This means that after the afternoon exam, the teacher starts grading the papers and continues grading until recently. Then, without any delay, the teacher uploads the students' scores to the test score app for parents to view.

I told you to come here.

Jiang Yiren's eyes gradually turned cold, and her tone became somewhat stern.

Zhang You nudged Xiao Shan. Judging from his daughter's reaction, he probably guessed right. His daughter not only failed her final exams, but she failed them terribly.

After being pushed by her father, Xiao Zishan shuffled over to her mother's side. Without saying a word, she lowered her head, looking like she had been beaten and was standing firm.

Do you know what score you got on the test?

Jiang Yiren asked with a cold face.

Before Xiao Zishan could answer, she said angrily, "The total score is 120. Let me tell you about Li Ran first. Li Ran got 115 in Chinese..."

Zhang You was taken aback when he heard this, and then gave Li Ran a thumbs up. A score of 115 on a test paper with a score of 120 is not easy. It means that Li Ran did not lose any points on questions such as reading comprehension except for the composition. Even if she did lose some points, it would only be a mistake of one or two points.

While looking at her phone, Jiang Yiren continued, "Math, 120. This score should be the highest in your entire grade. English, 118."

"Great"

Zhang You couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

While it's true that Li Ran is only in second grade and her future is uncertain, Zhang You hasn't hired a tutor for her. Especially since she practices piano every evening, her time isn't entirely devoted to studying. This suggests that the girl is also quite talented academically. Zhang You believes that many parents at Yaohua International Primary School hire tutors for their children, and the fact that she still can't outperform Li Ran under those circumstances speaks volumes.

After reading Li Ran's score, Jiang Yiren looked up at her daughter and said, "Now let's talk about you. Zhang Zishan, to be honest, I really don't want to talk about you anymore, and you should have noticed it yourself. I rarely criticize you for your grades now, maybe occasionally! It's just that I feel my daughter isn't that bad. Like when you came over tonight, I was thinking, how bad can it be? It's a 120-point test. You might not get over 110, but getting around 100 would be fine. I believe that's not an unreasonable expectation. Last time, 28 students in your class got over 110 in math and English..."

"What score will I get?!"

Zhang You couldn't help but ask.

See for yourself.

Jiang Yiren sensed the impatience in her husband's tone and handed him her phone. Zhang You took the phone from his singer and saw that the mini-program clearly displayed: Name: Zhang Zishan, followed by her class, and then her score.

The number is eighty-five.

Language Arts, Chapter 92.

My English score is over 100, exactly 101, not a point more... and don't even think about it.

Looking at the score, Zhang You was also somewhat unable to accept it, especially the math score... With this score, let alone being an average student, he might be lucky enough to rank in the bottom ten of the class, or even in the fifth-to-last place if he was unlucky.

Her Chinese language score was also below average. In any case, Xiaoshan not only failed her final exam, but failed it terribly.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang You said, "Zhang Zishan, you shouldn't practice piano at night anymore. I suspect your poor performance this time is because you were distracted. If you want to practice, practice on Sundays."

If Xiao Zishan doesn't do her homework at night, and her grades have dropped so drastically, Zhang You thinks it's understandable.

But it just so happens that she does it with Li Ran every night.

I've never seen it copied.

But these results... This only proves one thing: Xiao Zishan's mind was distracted by the piano. This girl doesn't have Li Ran's talent, and her ability to absorb knowledge is also inferior to Li Ran's.

Simply put, children have different levels of comprehension. Some children can only absorb so much knowledge; their capacity is fixed. If they learn piano, they naturally can't store much knowledge from books.

To use a mobile phone's memory as an analogy, Li Ran's brain has 1TB of storage space. As long as it doesn't exceed her capacity, it can function normally, no matter how much it contains.

Xiao Zishan can only manage 256 at most, and she might even get 128. Once she exceeds that, she gets stuck... It's not a big deal if she gets stuck a few times normally, but if she gets stuck a few times during the exam, her score will plummet.

"dad"

Xiao Shan, who had been keeping her head down, suddenly spoke up, "I like playing the piano."

"..."

Zhang You was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Then continue. Don't stand in front of your mother anymore. The final exams are over, so relax and watch TV. Don't feel pressured. Just try your best during the semester."

"Mr. Zhang, is this how you raise children?!"

Jiang Yiren said angrily.

"mom"

Xiao Zishan called out to her mother, and when Jiang Yiren looked at her, the girl immediately lay down on the sofa and said, "You should hit me a couple of times! I'm scared if you don't."
