Chapter 611: Chapter 612 Not in a Hurry
After eating, Gong Jiaming habitually wanted to go out and call his friends; he hadn’t been back for a while and needed to reconnect.
Of course, the most important thing was to tell them how much fun he had in the countryside this time.
"Have you finished eating? Then let’s start." Gong Ruwen often held small quizzes for Zhao Guangran and the others and was absolutely capable of managing the situation.
No way, starting now? Surely they haven’t already prepared the test papers? Gong Jiaming was stunned. "The test papers are ready."
"It’s just a few questions, no big deal. Do you want to start with language or math?" Gong Ruwen said they could still choose this much.
Language or math? What’s the point of choosing, "What difference does it make whether we do it before or after?"
Looking at Gong Zhuang next to him, Gong Jiaming kept mumbling to himself that if they really wanted to be nice, they would make the test papers easier, which would be the best.
"Then let’s start with math, as there are calculations involved." Gong Ruwen took out the prepared test papers, "The papers aren’t hard, so don’t rush, you have one class period."
Not hard, huh? Hearing this, Gong Jiaming sighed with relief, but before he could look at the test papers closely, he heard his sister next door take a breath.
What’s wrong? Gong Jiaming was puzzled, but since he couldn’t understand his sister’s subjects, he decided to look at his own test paper first.
What a disaster, the first question is so hard, the second question, oh my god, it’s like a heavenly script. In short, after going through the test paper, Gong Jiaming really wanted to cry.
"Brother, is this supposed to be an easy test paper?" Though he couldn’t quite recall the final exam paper, he could guarantee this paper was even harder than the final exam.
"It’s not hard; Ni Zi did much harder questions than this." Gong Ruwen said he had already gone easy on them a bit.
In Gong Ruwen’s view, he had already made the questions much easier, yet they were still difficult for Gong Jiaming, making him really curious as to what they usually studied.
As for Gong Jiaxin next to him, she didn’t complain, but judging from her facial expression, it was clear she found it difficult too.
"Don’t worry, take your time," Gong Ruini, who was reading on the side, said although the test papers looked hard, they weren’t actually difficult. "You can analyze the questions slowly; they’re all based on foundational content."
Crying, Gong Jiaming really wanted to cry. He regretted boasting earlier, wishing he had admitted his poor academic performance; at least he wouldn’t have to do such hard tasks.
If he didn’t score well on this test, let alone his mom saving him, she probably wouldn’t intervene either.
Thinking about the prospect of being educated by both parents made him feel like life was unbearable.
Are these really foundational? Listening to Gong Ruini, Gong Jiaxin felt less anxious, and after examining the test paper closely, her worried heart finally eased.
Though the questions seemed challenging at first glance, upon closer inspection, they really weren’t difficult.
Seeing his sister already starting to do the questions slowly, Gong Jiaming became even more flustered.
"Don’t panic." Gong Ruini saw Gong Jiaming, who was nervous enough to keep pulling at his ears and hair, and she genuinely felt anxious for him.
Don’t panic, how could he not panic? Gong Jiaming really wanted to just abandon the test and admit he couldn’t do it.
"Take the test seriously," Gong Zhuang, leaning against the door frame, told his constantly restless son.
Alas, since his dad had intervened, he couldn’t admit he couldn’t do it, or he would definitely be in trouble.
Oh well, he would do whatever parts he could; he couldn’t leave it blank, or his dad would definitely treat him to Jiangnan’s specialty bamboo shoot roast pork.
Math wasn’t easy, and it turned out language wasn’t easy either. Gong Jiaming was about to faint; he really regretted not maintaining a good relationship with Gong Ruwen and the others before. Otherwise, things wouldn’t be so tense now.
No matter what, Gong Jiaming felt relieved to have finally finished the test, at least getting through today. How tomorrow would be was a problem for tomorrow.
"Let’s rest for a while, and then we can review the test papers."
"By the way, I’ll be developing a study plan for you based on your results." Gong Ruwen knew their results wouldn’t be good, but he didn’t expect them to be this poor, leaving him surprised.
"What, we’re getting the results today?" Gong Jiaming exclaimed, "No need to rush."
It would be best if they could grade the test papers just before they left, and as for the study plan, Gong Jiaming felt that would be their concern.
But he didn’t expect Gong Ruwen and the others to act so quickly.
"You may not care, but I do," Gong Zhuang wasn’t a fool; seeing how the kids were struggling with the test papers and not filling them in, he knew the outcomes wouldn’t be good, and it worried him greatly.
Gong Zhuang regretted it; if he had known about their grades earlier, he wouldn’t have let them play wildly in the countryside.
The main thing was that Gong Ruini and the others were planning to return, and Gong Zhuang was considering whether to let Gong Jiaming and the others go to Beijing with them, to visit Gong Tao, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time, and to congratulate his second brother on becoming a father again.
However, the trip to Beijing wasn’t simple, and how the children would return later on was an issue, not to mention that once the second sister-in-law gave birth, she would be extremely busy. Letting the kids go then would surely be a burden to the second brother, wouldn’t it?
In short, Gong Zhuang was really undecided, but when he saw his son’s and daughter’s grades, he was astonished, "Could this be wrong?"
Gong Zhuang knew the kids’ grades weren’t great, but he didn’t expect them to be this bad.
"There’s no mistake," Gong Ruwen really didn’t know how to comment, "Look over the test papers, and ask if there’s something you don’t understand."
Gong Ruwen went to pour a glass of water, knowing the upcoming discussion wouldn’t be easy.
After quickly flipping through the test paper scores, Gong Jiaming wasn’t surprised at the results or, perhaps, it was better than he had expected. If it weren’t for his dad watching, he would have exclaimed aloud.
Gong Jiaxin was stunned looking at her test paper, "How could my score be this poor?"
She knew she didn’t do well, but she didn’t expect them to be this bad; she couldn’t even bring herself to look at Gong Zhuang’s expression.
"We can discuss it together," Gong Ruwen handed the water cup to Gong Ruini, and the two of them began one-on-one coaching.
Initially, Gong Zhuang wondered if Gong Ruini and the others could truly teach well. Now, seeing them prepare test papers and explain questions, he felt they were even better than school teachers.
Truly, studying in the Imperial City was remarkable, leaving Gong Zhuang full of emotion, but it was primarily the Zhao family’s eldest who was excellent, otherwise how could he have raised the Gong Rui siblings so well?
It seemed some decisions needed to be made sooner rather than later, or else he would be the one crying in the future. But was this really a good idea?
Gong Zhuang was genuinely worried; if this plan was to be executed, there were indeed many problems waiting for him to solve.
