Chapter 935: Chapter 913: Top Student in the Eighties 41

The homeroom teacher of the experimental class didn’t expect Anning to be so remarkable.

Despite the difficulty of the test paper, Anning managed to achieve perfect scores in all subjects.

The teachers from several classes gathered to discuss.

Anning’s homeroom teacher was named Gong. Teacher Gong’s smile was so wide that his eyes almost disappeared: "I never imagined Anning was so talented, she’s catching up to Xiao Yuan in the first year of high school. How many points did Xiao Yuan score this time?"

Then someone well-informed said, "He also got perfect scores in all subjects this time."

"These two kids, they’re truly smart."

"Our First Middle School is set this time. Xiao Yuan can achieve a provincial top scorer rank, Anning isn’t far off either."

"We need to pay more attention to this kid. Anning is only eight, her life needs to be well arranged. We have to ensure the mischievous ones don’t bully her."

Each teacher took turns praising Anning.

Teacher Gong was even happier, promising, "Got it, got it, we’ll make sure everything is arranged perfectly. We definitely won’t let her suffer any grievances. We’re counting on her to bring us a top scorer in the future."

Anning brought her scores home, and Zhang Heping and Secretary An were also overjoyed.

In the past year, Anning had always come first in exams. Normally, the two would have gotten used to it.

But that was at the county’s No. 1 Middle School, this was the Provincial First Middle School, it’s different.

The students in the Provincial First Middle School are the top students selected from various schools. Even the average ones placed in county schools would stand out there.

But Anning, among these outstanding students, got first place again, which is different from her time in the county school.

While at work, Zhang Heping, after finishing his tasks, picked up his enamel cup and started chatting with others, "Oh dear, my daughter is such a worry to me. Why is it so worrisome to raise a child?"

People at the factory weren’t familiar with Zhang Heping’s family situation and started chatting with him: "Isn’t it just so, my boy is so naughty, always playing around, making him do homework feels like I’m pulling out his tendons."

"My daughter is always chasing celebrities, especially those from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and reading romance novels. Can that put food on the table? Oh, I’m just so worried."

"Old Zhang, is your daughter chasing stars too?"

Zhang Heping blew at the tea leaves at the bottom of his cup: "My daughter is giving my wife and me a headache as well. All she knows is studying. After finishing her homework at home, she continues reading books, even using the tape recorder to learn foreign languages. Within a year of starting middle school, she self-studied several languages. She babbles on and on, I don’t even know what she’s saying. My wife advised her, saying, ’Why are you learning so much at such a young age? What if it exhausts your brain? Stop doing homework, go out and play, we’ll give you money, buy whatever you want.’ But my daughter just won’t listen."

Zhang Heping wore a troubled expression as he continued lamenting: "I told her, ’Learn from other kids, dress up, chase celebrities, watch TV. For her to watch TV, I even gritted my teeth and bought a color TV, but she refused to watch. Told her to go out and play, it’s like pulling out her tendons.’ It’s worrisome."

The colleagues in the office felt like they wanted to punch Zhang Heping’s face full of flowers; were you complaining or showing off? You’re just making everyone hate you.

"Oh, it’s almost time to get off work, I need to hurry back home to prepare some nutritious food for my daughter. She needs a brain boost. What’s with her always getting first place? Even at the Provincial First Middle School, she still got first in the whole grade. What’s the point of always being first? Why not let someone else? What if her brain is overworked? I need to hurry up and buy some brain-boosting food."

When Zhang Heping left, the others were practically gnashing their teeth in anger. Zhang Heping was really infuriating.

Zhang Heping indeed went and bought lots of walnuts, peanuts, sesame seeds, and dates to bring home.

He genuinely worried about nourishing Anning’s brain, fearing she might get exhausted.

When he got home, he heard waves of laughter coming from inside.

Entering, Zhang Heping saw Xiangling sitting on the sofa.

"Dad."

Xiangling called out when she saw Zhang Heping.

Zhang Heping put the things down: "What are you two laughing about?"

Secretary An was grinning from ear to ear: "It’s naturally great news; Xiangling just went to the hospital and found out she’s pregnant."

"Really?"

Zhang Heping was equally ecstatic upon hearing this.

He sat on the sofa: "This is wonderful news, absolutely wonderful. Daughter, you need to take good care of yourself, be cautious when going out. Don’t slip on the ice when it’s icy outside. If you want anything, ask your mom to get it for you. Don’t skimp."

Xiangling promised with her mouth.

Zhang Heping then said, "Then I’ll go pick up Anning."

Secretary An stopped him, "No need, today Xiao Yuan and Anning are coming back together. Xiao Yuan’s coming over to get familiar with our home and stay for dinner."

Zhang Heping sat back down: "Does Junzi have time to take care of you? If he doesn’t, you can move back in with us."

"No worries." Xiangling’s eyes were filled with smiles: "He has time to look after me; he’s not taking on much work now. Anything that he absolutely needs to do, he brings home."

That’s good. Zhang Heping nodded: "Then you both take it easy. The first three months are crucial; you must be careful. By the way, I’ll have someone find you fresh fruits tomorrow; eat more and keep healthy."

When Anning and Xiao Yuan returned and learned about Xiangling’s pregnancy, the two of them were also quite happy.

Anning said, "Am I going to be an aunt? Sis, is it a boy or a girl in your belly? I can prepare some small clothes for the baby, but what kind should I prepare?"

Xiao Yuan held Xiangling’s hand while speaking, secretly taking her pulse.

After feeling her pulse, Xiao Yuan said, "In a few days, have a thorough check at the hospital."

Anning quickly advised, "You should go to a big hospital for a detailed checkup. Sis, you’re not young anymore; this time, we need to be extra careful. Spend a bit more money if you need to, but nothing can go wrong."

Secretary An agreed: "In a few days, I’ll go with you to the hospital for a comprehensive checkup; we must be careful."

Xiangling also felt a bit anxious, and hearing that Secretary An would accompany her for the prenatal checkup, she agreed.

Having lost two children before, she took great care of the one in her belly, preferring to be a bit more troublesome than to let anything go wrong.

After sitting for a while, Anning mentioned she needed to do her homework, and Xiao Yuan said the same. The two went into Anning’s room together.

Once inside, Anning asked Xiao Yuan, "Is something up with big sis?"

Xiao Yuan, as he pulled out a book, replied, "It’s not one baby in her belly. There are several."

"What?"

Anning was startled: "How many?"

Xiao Yuan thought for a moment: "At least three, she’s probably going to have a hard time."
