She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 984 - 851: Super Star 25 (First Update)
After May Day, both study and life got back on track, and the new writing progressed at a turtle’s pace of two thousand words a day.
The English competition was relatively easy for her, as was the Chinese competition, which consisted mostly of basic questions and cultural knowledge. The key to PK is experience accumulation; besides knowing the answers, one must write the characters correctly. Compared to English, she received materials prepared by her teacher for Chinese and, after transforming at night, she would study and memorize them in the space provided.
In early June, these two competitions kicked off. As a student in Beijing, the preliminary round did not delay her on the road; she simply rode her bike to participate. If fortunate enough to enter the semifinals, it would be held in July.
After the competition, the final exams for the second semester of junior high school began. No matter how talented Hua Yan was, she had to honestly follow the pace of the main group and review.
Even if one’s smarts aren’t enough, having more time than others can secure a top advantage. As long as one works hard enough, there’s no obstacle she couldn’t overcome.
Once the final exams ended, during the week of waiting for the notification letter, she made an excuse to go out, and Ning Hao obediently followed his uncle to grandma’s house.
Then she entered the space to level up, rising two levels to reach level 22 before coming out. The timing was just right: on the night before Ning Hao received the acceptance letter, he was brought back by Uncle Zhao’s family, naturally accompanied by M and F.
Everyone went to school on Sunday to receive the notification letters. The siblings were not worried about it at all, feeling at ease.
"How’s the summer vacation arranged?"
"Originally, I wanted to attend summer school, but Grandma and Grandpa called, asking me to fly back to the Northeast. Uncle will pick me up then; I miss them very much, but if I leave, what about these two? If only they could go back with me."
This shows the advantage of having a car; you can go anywhere you want!
"Then you just call your uncle and ask him to pick you up; explain the situation, and it’s done, right? Over 600 kilometers is not very far. Be sweet-talking. It’s good you’re concerned about them. I have to go to another place to attend a summer camp this vacation, so I can’t look after them; it’s most suitable if you take them along."
At Hua Yan’s suggestion, Ning Hao immediately took out his phone to call Ning Zhiqiang; unexpectedly, after saying just a couple of words, he agreed.
"Uncle agreed; tomorrow he will take a day off, drive over to pick me up, and find a place to sleep midway at night. We’ll be almost at Shenyang the next day by noon. I’ll play at Uncle’s house for two days before being sent to Grandparents’ place in the countryside."
Hua Yan let out a breath: "This arrangement is pretty good. Tomorrow I’ll buy you some test papers, and after you go home, complete the homework I assign you. Keep up English reading and dictation daily. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask your cousins at Uncle’s house. Read more extracurricular books to build up your Chinese vocabulary and expression..."
There were so many things to explain: Hua Yan simply came to the computer, entering notes as they came to mind, and finally organized them into a document for printing.
She also found a few books in her room suitable for his reading: "Here, take these back. Later write book notes and reviews, turn them into essays, and I’ll check them!"
After Hua Yan’s elaborate arrangements, Ning Hao’s little face puckered.
"Sis, how did you end up managing me so seamlessly? Even smoother than Mom!"
Mentioning Mom, the little guy’s face darkened and drooped down, Hua Yan patted his shoulder.
"That’s because the eldest sister is like a mother. Later you’ll realize how essential the accumulation of Chinese and English is. As for math, more practice will do. See these directories? Study them well over the summer, don’t be too playful."
Ning Hao sighed in agreement; then Hua Yan sent him home. As they were leaving, she noticed the grateful and tearful gazes from Mr. and Mrs. Ning.
She smiled slightly, understanding everything in silence.
The next day, the two went to their respective schools; around ten o’clock, she got a text from Ning Hao.
Chinese 96, Math, English, Science are all one hundred, and he received awards for three-good students, outstanding class leaders, and excellence in four subjects; just the awards, there are a whopping six sheets.
Needless to say, this child’s marks are among the top in the grade; she laughed heartily and replied to him.
"My brother is amazing, keep it up, I’m proud of you!"
With Ning Hao being so excellent, Hua Yan’s grades weren’t bad either, with overall grades ranking fourth in the grade, first in the class. Just not much emphasis on awards, as middle school isn’t like elementary school; having an individual ranking is good enough.
