Chapter 432 - 432: The Results Are Out
Thinking about it this way, Yan Han felt even more relieved, and even his mood when cooking became much lighter.
After serving the food, Yan Han suddenly remembered something. He looked at Xia Wan and Xia Chen with eager eyes. “Your monthly exam results should be out by now. How did both of you do?”
Xia Wan and Xia Chen exchanged a glance, and Xia Wan smiled as she replied to Yan Han, ‘We were actually planning to give you a surprise. This weekend, there will be a parent-teacher meeting, and since you asked, Mom, we don’t want to keep it a secret anymore.”
Yan Han thought she hadn’t done well when he heard this.
Yan Han immediately blamed himself, saying, “It’s okay if Wan Wan didn’t do well this time. It’s my fault for not letting you focus on your studies during this time when you’ve been helping out at the store.
“In the future, just concentrate on your studies, and don’t worry about the store. Your dad and I can handle it. And if we need someone for physical work, we have your little brother. You and your brother have one goal — to get into a good university.”
Xia Chen couldn’t hold back and laughed, telling Yan Han, “Both of us did well in the mock exams this time. I came first in the class, and Wan Wan came tenth. Even the teachers said that Wan Wan has made great progress.”
“What? Wan Wan came tenth? How is that possible? She used to be in the twenties in class rankings.”
Xia Wan’s class had over thirty students, and her previous academic performance was typically in the twenties. Moving from twentieth to tenth might not seem like a big gap in terms of the number of students in the class, but it could mean a significant improvement in the overall school rankings. Yan Han was immediately thrilled, almost ignoring Xia Chen’s first-place achievement.
“Our Wan Wan has made great progress. If I had known earlier, I should have prepared a fish stew for you today, Wan Wan. You must have been working really hard these days, and a fish would have been good for your brain.”
Xia Wan smiled and said, “Mom, it’s okay. I drink milk every day, and getting tenth place isn’t my limit. I’ll work even harder and continue to improve. “Besides, I’ve spent so much money on tutoring. If my grades don’t improve, it would be a waste of money.”
Thanks to Xia Wan’s reminder, Yan Han also remembered Liu Sha, who had been tutoring her.
Yan Han said, “Next time when Teacher Liu Sha comes over, we should prepare some gifts for her to show our appreciation for her tutoring you these days.” Xia Wan nodded in agreement.
The next day at school, the class teacher entered the classroom with a cheerful demeanor.
She smiled and said, “In this exam, one of our students has shown significant improvement, and that is Xia Wan.”
“During the first part of the senior year, Xia Wan’s grades were quite unstable, but in this first monthly exam of the senior year, she achieved a top 10 ranking in our class with a score of 530.”
“Based on previous admission criteria, this score is sufficient to secure a place in a top-tier university.”
“The teacher would like to commend Xia Wan in this class but also hopes that she will continue to work hard because her current score, while impressive, still falls a bit short for the best universities.”
“At the same time, the teacher hopes that Xia Wan’s progress will motivate everyone to study harder, collectively raising our class’s overall performance.”
After the teacher finished speaking, the students were surprised and turned their attention towards Xia Wan.
It was the first time so many people had looked at her in this way, and Xia Wan felt a bit nervous.
Previously, she had been the underachiever in the class, known for her arguments with others.
But now, the gazes were filled with admiration and envy.
The class teacher continued, “So, next, we’ll have Xia Wan come to the front and share with us the reasons for her recent academic improvement.”
As the teacher applauded and smiled at Xia Wan, she hadn’t expected to be asked to speak about her progress. She hadn’t prepared anything.
During the few steps she took toward the podium, Xia Wan hastily composed a few sentences..
