Chapter 523: Chapter 523: Affection Across Generations

Yue Qingqing went back and discussed the matter with her family, and everyone reacted differently.

Yue Jiandong and Zhang Ying were of course beaming with pride.

Yue Jiandong kept saying, "It’s no surprise she’s my daughter," while Zhang Ying kept serving Qingqing more food.

"Study is study, but you must also keep up with nutrition and not go hungry,"

Yue Xiaohu couldn’t help but laugh, "Sister Qingqing eats almost as much as I do, how could she go hungry?"

No sooner had he spoken than Yue Xingxing hit him with her chopsticks, "You have the nerve to talk, Qingqing uses her brain studying all day, it’s normal for her to eat a lot. What about you? You only grow taller and not smarter, what did you score in the last final?"

Yue Xiaohu pouted, looking aggrieved.

No fair boosting one and putting down another!

Yue Xingxing was truly a bit envious, "It’s a pity that last year when I took the middle school exams, it was only a city-wide joint exam, otherwise I could’ve participated too."

Yue Xiaofang praised, "Our Xingxing is also amazing, she ranked fifth in the whole city last year!"

Yue Xingxing grinned, feeling comforted.

Lin Chunju was worried about putting too much pressure on the kids, "You have to go to tutoring classes on weekends as well, when will you have time to rest?"

Yue Qingqing seemed quite relaxed about it, "I only need to go for half a day each on Saturday and Sunday, and the afternoons are free."

Lin Chunju still felt it was hard, "The half day off will probably be spent doing homework, it’s too tiring."

Yue Jiandong felt his mother was really biased, "Mom, when the third child was studying, you always urged him to work hard, why do you reverse your stance for Qingqing?"

Lin Chunju gave him an annoyed look, "Can it be the same? With the third child’s whirlwind temperament, if you didn’t lash him a few times, he’d just lie down and do nothing, while our Qingqing is so diligent."

Yue Jiandong touched his nose and dared not speak anymore.

No wonder they say favoritism skips a generation; when the kids were little, only Xiaofang never got beaten, although she wasn’t spared from scoldings when she did something wrong.

But grandma seldom even spoke harshly to any of the kids at home.

Even when Xiaohu wasn’t serious about his studies, grandma just vaguely passed it off, saying everyone had their own fate.

Lin Chunju just ignored her son’s look.

In her eyes, all the kids at home were good kids, much more obedient than Yue Jiandong and his siblings when they were young.

After the principal’s notification, the first weekend for tutoring quickly arrived.

The kids all gathered at the school gate first and then were escorted to the tutoring class by a teacher.

They were waiting at the school gate with their backpacks, and the teacher hadn’t arrived yet.

Zhuang Lan paced back and forth a few steps.

Yue Qingqing struck up a conversation with him, "What’s the matter?"

Zhuang Lan said seriously, "I have inquired, and this time, there are several strong competitors from the Second Middle School and Experimental Middle School."

He glanced at Yue Qingqing and reminded her, "Even you can’t take it lightly."

Seeing his earnest expression, Yue Qingqing smiled, "Okay, I know, thanks for the reminder."

In fact, except for Zhuang Lan, the other kids, too, weren’t quite themselves.

They seemed poised to strike yet also hesitant, creating a conflicted mindset.

Only Qu Ruorui appeared carefree, looking even more composed than usual.

Zhuang Lan curiously asked, "Aren’t you nervous?"

Qu Ruorui calmly replied, "I figure I’m just making up the numbers. I just need to be there on the sidelines clapping for you guys. The honor of First Middle School is yours to defend."

Her words made everyone burst into laughter.

Though Qu Ruorui’s grades were not bad, she was uneven in her subjects.

Her Chinese and English were quite good, but math was her weak point.

If the difficulty in math increased, she probably wouldn’t even make the top ten in the school.

If the opposite were the case, she might very likely burst into the top three.

Among the six, Qu Ruorui was indeed the least consistent.

She was very aware of her own role, being there just to cheer the big shots on by shouting "awesome".

After a while, the First Middle School’s bus stopped at the school gate.

It took the kids to the location of the tutoring class.
