Chapter 75.1

On the third day of Han Cheng’s business trip, Su Xiaoxiao really missed him.

These days, Su Xiaoxiao can’t even make a phone call to express her longing.

Their breakfast was still delivered by Xiao Du. Today’s breakfast is steamed stuffed buns and soybean milk. Su Xiaoxiao didn’t expect that the breakfast in the army canteen would be very rich. It seems like the menu changes every day.

However, Su Xiaoxiao is worried that if they eat like this every day, their food ration at home won’t be enough, and they might have to exchange food on the black market.

“Fantuan, tell your Uncle Zhao that he doesn’t need to deliver breakfast. With one kilogram of flour, Mom can make many buns. If we buy from the canteen, we can probably only get three. Now that the weather is getting colder, Mom will take some time this afternoon to make some buns. Tomorrow, let’s have sweet potato porridge and buns. How does that sound?”

The cubs didn’t object, they don’t mind eating anything.

Zhuzi nodded and said, “Auntie Su’s cooking is more delicious than the cafeteria’s food.”

Xiao Fantuan took a bite of the steamed bun, and indeed, it didn’t taste as good as his mother’s. He raised his hand timidly and requested, “Mom, can I have pickled vegetable and meat pancakes for breakfast? I only ate two, and Dad took them all. I really want to eat them!”

Su Xiaoxiao nodded and said, “It’s possible, but we don’t have any meat at home, we only have a little bit of pork fat scraps, so they might not taste as good as the ones with fresh meat.”

Xiao Fantuan didn’t mind at all, so he nodded. “Pork fat scraps are also super delicious. The baked pancakes are even more fragrant than the buns.”

Su Xiaoxiao rubbed Fantuan’s head. This little foodie understands everything at such a young age. “Baked food can easily cause internal heat. We shouldn’t eat it too often. Having it once a month is enough.”

Xiao Fantuan: “I know, Mom, I love everything you make.”

Su Xiaoxiao had soaked the pickled vegetables in advance and glanced at the remaining pork fat scraps, which amounted to only a small bowl. It was better than nothing.

The family of four returned to school as usual for their classes. Little Zhuzi carried Xiao Doubao on his back and went to the classroom for morning reading.

Su Xiaoxiao had just stepped into the office when Teacher Mo approached her and said, “How did it go? How did my son do in the exam?”

Su Xiaoxiao put down the test papers. By the time she arrived, many teachers had already returned. She wasn’t sure if Teacher Mo would mind letting other teachers know that her son performed poorly in the exam, so she looked for Zhou Dawei’s paper and handed it to her first. “Take a look at it yourself first.”

Teacher Mo took the paper from Su Xiaoxiao’s hand and saw that the test paper was covered in red marks with an “x” written on it. The more she looked at it, the more shocked she became.

Teacher Mo looked up at Su Xiaoxiao and asked, “Are you mistaken? How is it possible for this to be my son’s test paper?”

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t expect this kind of reaction from Teacher Mo. This reaction indicated that Teacher Mo had no idea about her son’s foundation. “The name on the exam paper does indeed say Zhou Dawei.”

“Where are your children’s test papers? “Teacher Mo asked again.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t know what she was trying to do, so she handed it over to show her.

Teacher Mo gasped when she looked at the test papers. Then she put on an “As expected!” expression and said with a forced smile, “No way, Teacher Su? Both of your children scored a hundred, while my child only got fifty-two? Are you trying to tell me that only your children in the entire class got perfect scores? And none of the other children passed?”

Originally, Su Xiaoxiao didn’t think too much about Teacher Mo’s actions. She only wanted to discuss with her how to improve Zhou Dawei’s grades based on his aptitude, but she didn’t expect Teacher Mo to have such a different perspective.

“Teacher Mo, I’m not sure what you mean by asking that. Only my two children indeed scored a hundred in the class, but the majority of the students got 90 or above. There are only three students in the class who didn’t pass, and your son is the third from the bottom of the class.” Since Teacher Mo doesn’t mind others knowing, Su Xiaoxiao simply talked about things based on facts.

Teacher Mo had a look of disbelief and casually flipped through other students’ exam papers.

Su Xiaoxiao is worried that children will pay too much attention to their scores in this one single exam, so she hasn’t arranged the papers in order of scores. They were simply arranged as they were collected.

Teacher Mo came across several papers with scores in the 70s and 80s and sneered. “Aren’t these all in the 70s and 80s? Where are the majority of scores above 90? Let me remind you, Teacher Su, as teachers, we should treat children equally and impartially. We must provide them with the same education. Is it meaningful for you to give your child full marks and embarrass other children?”

Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but chuckle. She directly took out more than 20 papers with scores above 90 and placed them in front of Teacher Mo. “Teacher Mo, you’re also a language teacher. Can you please use your brain before speaking? Here are 26 papers with a score of over 90 out of 40 students in the class. There are even several test papers with scores of 98 or 99, with just a few spelling mistakes. With a little more attention to detail, they would have been perfect. Are you suggesting that I intentionally let other children make one or two spelling mistakes?

Take a look at the test papers of my two children and their handwriting. They were indeed taught by me. Before they started to go to school, I taught them, stroke by stroke, how to write. It’s not just for the Chinese class; it applies to other subjects as well. You can ask Teacher Chen or have her give them a math quiz to see if my children can also score full marks.

In addition, learning is the responsibility of the students themselves. I educate my children to study well and not embarrass anyone. I have never treated students who struggle in their studies differently. If you don’t believe me, you can ask the students in my class.

I teach without discrimination during class hours, and I will also provide individual tutoring after the final exam. However, since each child has different qualifications and their level of effort in learning is also different, it is impossible to achieve the same score for each child. If achieving the same score for every child is considered treating them equally, then I ask, Teacher Mo, did your class achieve that? Did you also hold back for the students who couldn’t reach that level? “

Teacher Mo, already angered by her son’s score, subconsciously felt that Su Xiaoxiao would leak the answer to her children in advance, so she let out those angry words without thinking.

Teacher Chen couldn’t stand Teacher Mo’s words anymore, especially since she had a great fondness for the two students, Fantuan and Zhuzi. She directly said, “Is there something wrong with guiding one’s child at home? I also teach my grandson math problems at home every day. Teacher Mo, you are also a Chinese language teacher, and you could teach your own child-like Su Xiaoxiao does, instead of making snide remarks about her not teaching your child well.”

I have been teaching at this elementary school for more than ten years. No matter what type of exam, I’ve never seen a class where more than half of the students score above 90 in any exam. How dare you say that Su Xiaoxiao held them back? If this is called holding back but could still produce such results, then I’ll hold back too.” 

Other teachers also said, “Yes, Teacher Mo, only three students in the class failed. One of them is your son. You’re a Chinese language teacher, and yet your son actually ranked third from the bottom in the exam. Shouldn’t you be looking at yourself for the reasons? Our school only has a few language teachers, and while my child may not consistently score a hundred in Chinese, they rarely score below 90.”

Teacher Mo couldn’t handle the situation and yelled at everyone, “Do I need you to tell me if I can teach on my own?”

After finishing speaking, she ran out crying.

Teacher Chen said to Su Xiaoxiao, “Teacher Su, don’t pay attention to her. She scolds her son for being stupid all day long. Zhou Dawei looked like a mouse who saw a cat whenever he saw his mother. She can’t even educate her child properly and blames others.”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Teacher Chen’s back and thought that Zhou Dawei was actually not stupid. ‘Could it be that this is his rebellious attitude and his way of confronting his mother? ‘
