Li Xiulan

Wang Xiaohua stayed at Li Jianjia's home for one night, and early the next morning he received a call from Wang Xiaoqian.

"Brother Hua, Lin Xin told me you're back in the county town."

"Yeah, I just got back yesterday."

"Are you still in the county town now, or have you already gone back to your hometown?"

"Still in the county town."

"Are you free to come to my home for lunch at noon? My mom wants to thank you in person!"

"Thank me for what?"

"I got into high school. My mom says it's all thanks to you, Brother Hua, so she wants to thank you."

Wang Xiaohua thought for a moment, then answered with a smile:

"Alright, I'll go to your house at noon."

Before long it was around eleven o'clock. Wang Xiaohua explained the situation to Li Jianjia, Li Zhongxian, and the others, then went to Wang Xiaoqian's home by himself.

The two met downstairs in the old residential complex, then Wang Xiaoqian led him upstairs.

Wang Xiaoqian had also grown up, losing some of her childishness and gaining a touch of femininity.

Although she wasn't as delicate and pretty as Niu Linxin, she had grown much taller compared to a year ago, and her chest and buttocks had developed well.

She looked like a lovely girl next door.

"Xiaoqian, which high school are you planning to apply to?"

There were two public high schools to choose from in the county town.

Besides that, there were no private high schools, only one vocational high school.

So those who got into high school either went to No. 1 High School or Erzhong.

Wang Xiaohua attended No. 1 High School, which was always known for its strict academic atmosphere.

"I want to apply to No. 1 High School, and strive to become an excellent person like you, Brother Hua!"

Wang Xiaoqian's goal was very clear.

Perhaps this was the power of a role model.

Actually, when she was in the second year of junior high, she had still been worried about whether she could get into high school.

But now her goal was already set on advancing toward the top class.

"As long as you work hard, you'll definitely become excellent. I believe in you."

Wang Xiaohua encouraged Wang Xiaoqian.

A smile bloomed on Wang Xiaoqian's face:

"Thank you, Brother Hua. Brother Hua, you are my benefactor in life!"

The two walked up the stairs and entered the home.

They saw Wang Xiaoqian's parents had already been waiting in the living room for a long time.

The dining table was filled with all kinds of delicacies.

These were all made by Wang Xiaoqian's mother, who had been busy all morning and personally cooked.

Wang Xiaoqian's father was an honest and simple man. When he saw Wang Xiaohua enter, he hurriedly took Wang Xiaohua's hands:

"Xiaohua, thank you, thank you so much. I really didn't expect that last summer vacation, my daughter studied with you for over a month and improved so much. Not only in her studies, but she's also become more sensible. Her mom and I don't have to worry about her so much anymore. Thank you so much!"

This was Wang Xiaohua's first time meeting Wang Xiaoqian's father. Before, when he went to Wang Xiaoqian's home for meals, he had never seen her father.

Wang Xiaohua was made a little embarrassed by the praise.

"You're welcome, you're welcome. This is all Xiaoqian's own hard work. I actually just played a guiding role."

Wang Xiaoqian's father was beaming, his face full of simple smiles, and handed over a red envelope prepared in advance:

"This is a gift for you."

"No need, no need, how could I bear to take it?" Wang Xiaohua hurriedly declined.

"I want it, I want it. Previously, you tutored our Xiaoqian without charging any fees, so you must accept this red envelope!"

Under Wang Xiaoqian's father's insistence, Wang Xiaohua could only accept the red envelope in the end.

The red envelope was bulging, and inside was probably quite a lot of money.

After finishing lunch here and chatting for a while, his former high school homeroom teacher called, saying he wanted to meet and talk. Wang Xiaohua said goodbye and left, first returning to Li Jianjia's home, then he and Li Jianjia prepared some gifts and went together to visit the homeroom teacher.

Arriving at the No. 1 High School campus and seeing the familiar environment, Wang Xiaohua felt a strong sense of closeness.

Passing by the Senior Year 3 Teaching Building, he saw students from the top class still attending remedial classes, and the teacher on the podium was seriously giving a lecture to the students.

Wang Xiaohua truly admired these hardworking gardeners.

The high school in this small county had limited funds. Teachers gave remedial classes on Saturdays, Sundays, and winter and summer vacations, and the subsidies they received were negligible, yet they taught the students without complaint.

For this small county to produce a student who could get into a second-tier university or above was truly too difficult. So not only did the students work especially hard, but the school and teachers also cherished such seedlings all the more.

Passing through the campus, they came to the Teacher Dormitory Building.

Wang Xiaohua and Li Jianjia found the homeroom teacher's residence.

The homeroom teacher warmly welcomed them.

"Jianjia, you're here too. Come sit, I'll pour water for you!"

The homeroom teacher treated Wang Xiaohua and Li Jianjia just like friends.

「Teacher, let me pour my own water; how could I let you pour it for me? 」Wang Xiaohua hurriedly grabbed the task of pouring water himself. Seeing this, the Homeroom Teacher smiled broadly and couldn't help but sigh:

「Among the students I've taught before, those who scored well were not as humble as you. They all thought their good scores were due to their own hard work, and very few ever came back to see me! 」

Wang Xiaohua quickly apologized:

「Teacher, I've also been busy lately, which is why it's taken me this long to come see you. 」

The Homeroom Teacher looked at Wang Xiaohua and Li Jianjia:

「Looking at the two of you, are you together? 」

Li Jianjia openly admitted:

「Yes, Teacher, Xiaohua and I are together. 」

「That's good, that's good. A talented man and a beautiful woman. Jianjia, the fact that you don't care about Xiaohua's appearance shows you're not a shallow woman. Xiaohua, you must cherish Jianjia well. Once you enter society, you won't find such a good girl again. 」

Wang Xiaohua hurriedly said:

「Of course. I've already decided that Jianjia is the woman I want to spend my lifetime with. 」

Li Jianjia then asked:

「Teacher, aren't you teaching Senior Year Three this year? 」

The Homeroom Teacher smiled and said:

「Teachers who teach the Special Elite Class generally start from Senior Year One and stay with them until Senior Year Three. Last year I went to the Education Bureau to work on lesson plans for a year, and this year I was transferred back. The Principal said that I should still be the one to teach the Special Elite Class, as he feels more reassured that way. 」

At this moment, the Homeroom Teacher also took out a list to show Wang Xiaohua and Li Jianjia:

「This is the list for this year's Senior Year One Special Elite Class. It hasn't been announced publicly yet, but it's already in my hands. Take a look and see if there's anyone you know. When the time comes, I'll look after them more. 」

Wang Xiaohua glanced at it and discovered that Wang Xiaoqian was actually on the list.

However, her rank was last place in the Special Elite Class, barely scraping in.

「I know this Wang Xiaoqian. I just went to her house for lunch the other day. Her grades were average before, and I tutored her for a while during the summer vacation of her second year of junior high. I never expected her to actually get into the Special Elite Class this year. 」

Wang Xiaohua felt greatly relieved. Although she was last in the Special Elite Class, it was definitely better than being in a Regular Class.

When it comes to studying, aptitude is the most important, and environment and atmosphere are the second most important.

Inside the Special Elite Class, everyone studies desperately. If you don't study, you'll feel ashamed.

Whereas in a Regular Class, nobody studies. If you bury yourself in your studies, everyone will think you're a freak, then mock you and ostracize you.

「Is this Wang Xiaoqian a relative of yours, Xiaohua? 」

The Homeroom Teacher asked this.

Wang Xiaoqian's surname was Wang, and Wang Xiaohua's surname was also Wang, so the Homeroom Teacher's first reaction was that they were relatives.

Wang Xiaohua smiled:

「There might be a bit of a connection, but it's very distant. 」

He told a kind lie.

Actually, there was not a single blood relation between him and Wang Xiaoqian.

Only by saying this would the Homeroom Teacher give Wang Xiaoqian more attention.

「Then when school starts, I'll look after her more. 」the Homeroom Teacher said.

Immediately she hurriedly added:

「By the way, Xiaohua, the reason I asked you to come is that I want to discuss something with you. 」

「Teacher, please speak. If I can help, I will certainly do my best. 」

The Homeroom Teacher then said:

「The college entrance exam results for this year's cohort have come out, and they are far worse than your year's. The Principal said he wants to invite you back to give a lecture to the Special Elite Class students currently in Senior Year Two and Senior Year Three, to pass on some study tips and help them prepare for next year's college entrance exam. I don't know if you can spare the time? 」

Wang Xiaohua readily agreed:

「I have time. To me, this is also a kind of honor. I will follow the school's arrangements. Whenever you want me to give the lecture, I'll come whenever you say. 」

Seeing Wang Xiaohua agree so readily, the Homeroom Teacher immediately looked pleased:

「Alright. I'll tell the Principal later, and then have his side arrange a time. Once the time is arranged, I'll come and tell you! 」
