Chapter 506: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (45)
When Su Yanqing, Song Chengjing and Cao Shixun arrived at the Su Mansion together, Su Xiangran was still sitting alone in the study, staring blankly at the homework book in front of her!
In fact, these questions were not difficult for her, but at the moment she had no intention of completing her homework.
Just as Su Yanqing opened the door and stepped into the study, he saw his sister sitting quietly at the desk, staring straight at the book.
Su Xiangran raised her head when she heard the voice, looked at her brother, and said with a helpless look on her face: "Brother, I really don't want to write, can I?"
However, before Su Yanqing could respond, Cao Shixun at the side spoke first: "If you don't want to write, forget it. It's not a big deal! My sister is in the next class, and she doesn't do any homework!"
"Your sister?" Upon hearing this, the corners of Su Yanqing's mouth twitched slightly, and for a moment he didn't know how to comment.
After all, this newly opened girls' school is still small, with only two classes in total, and less than 20 students in each class.
Su Xiangran happened to be in Class 1, and Cao Shixun's sister Cao Lianxin was in Class 2.
The biggest difference between Class One and Class Two is that the scores for the questions they answered are different when they enter school.
Although Su Xiangran joined the class halfway through, she is excellent in all aspects, especially her beautiful calligraphy.
Even though she has changed to using a fountain pen now, her handwriting is still beautiful.
What the teacher likes most about Su Xiangran is her outstanding ability in arithmetic. There was an arithmetic question for high grades on the entrance examination paper, and she was able to answer it.
The teacher who was in charge of grading the test papers at the time was also very surprised, but what surprised him most was that Su Xiangran actually knew some English knowledge!
The teacher named John asked Su Xiangran in Chinese with a heavy accent: "Ms. Su, were all these math problems taught to you by your brother?"
Faced with such an inquiry, Su Xiangran gave a more conservative and safe answer: "Yes, I have read many of my brother's books."
Hearing this, John suddenly became interested and subconsciously praised the little girl in front of him in English.
However, he regretted it as soon as he said it - after all, the other party was just a little girl of six or seven years old, how could she understand English!
Unexpectedly, Su Xiangran understood John's words effortlessly and responded in fluent English.
This performance made John admire her even more, and without hesitation, he assigned Su Xiangran to Class 1.
As for why Cao Lianxin was finally assigned to Class 2, it was not just because she refused to complete her homework;
In fact, during the entrance examination, the answers on her answer sheet were probably only understandable to her.
From then until Su Xiangran arrived, for half a year, even though she was in Class 2, Cao Lianxin's academic performance was always at the bottom of the class.
So when Cao Shixun encouraged Su Xiangran not to do her homework, Su Yanqing was somewhat unhappy.
Ha! They are a pair of poor students, and they are actually instigating their sister not to study. However, they cannot say this directly.
Su Yanqing glared at Cao Shixun fiercely, as if warning him not to meddle in other people's business.
Then, he turned his gaze to Su Xiangran, his expression became extremely serious, and he said in a low voice: "Xiangran, you must not fall behind in your studies! If you encounter any questions you don't understand, just come to me or Chengjing for help."
Hearing this, Su Xiangran nodded reluctantly, but in fact her heart had already flown away.
At this moment, Song Chengjing, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke up: "Xiao Ran is extremely talented, and these lessons must be no problem for her.
In my opinion, it would be better for us to go out for a walk together to relax our body and mind, and then we might be able to calm down and solve the problem.”
As soon as the words fell, Su Xiangran's eyes immediately flashed with a gleam, and she couldn't wait to respond: "Great! I just happen to want to go out for a walk too."
Just like that, the four of them marched out of the gate of the Su Mansion in a mighty procession.
They raised their hands to stop several rickshaws, got on the rickshaws, and rushed towards the bustling and noisy downtown area of Haishi. Along the way, the streets were lined with shops and pedestrians, and it was very lively.
Su Xiangran was as excited as a bird out of a cage. She looked around and was curious about everything around her.
In fact, after seeing the prosperous appearance of this country in the future, everything she sees now has little appeal to Su Xiangran. However, she can't help feeling a little bored because she has to run back and forth between school and home during this period of time.
But compared with the real girls in the old days, Su Xiangran is already relatively lucky. At least she can still go to school, unlike the girls of this era who have few opportunities to even step out of the house.
Relatively speaking, because their parents are not around, the family's control over their siblings is not as strong.
In this regard, even Cao Lianxin is not as free as Su Xiangran.
Of course, Cao Lianxin sometimes has the opportunity to go out, such as today when she went to the street with her mother Wu Wenyue to buy cakes after school.
She is talking to her mother at this moment!
She saw her brother across the street stuffing something into Su Xiangran's hand. After seeing this, Cao Lianxin became furious.
