Siheyuan: If you ruin the reputation of the whole courtyard, I will move out

Zhang Yu sighed and said, "My son You's excellent grades now are all due to his extracurricular tutoring." He said clearly, "As parents, we hope that our children will become successful, but we cannot avoid the facts."

Zhong Yi pursed his lips when he heard this. Zhang Yu's words deeply touched the core, could he still hide it?

"Dad Ziyou, since you said so, I will tell you the truth." Zhong Yi cleared his throat and said, "Ziyou has a good memory, but is slightly lacking in comprehension. It has not been exposed yet, but if the subject content is deepened, his weakness will become a fatal shortcoming."

Zhang Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "I also know that Ziyou's math talent is average. I heard that Teacher Zhong is also recruiting disciples outside. I wonder if you can consider letting him enter your cram school?"

Zhong Yi looked around nervously, pulled Zhang Yu aside and whispered, "Mr. Yan, where did you hear that? It is against the rules for school teachers to open tutoring classes without permission."

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Teacher Zhong knows about this. My wife often hangs out in the parent group and accidentally discovered the tutoring information of some of your students. Please rest assured that I will never leak it to anyone."

Zhong Yi took a deep breath and assured: "Ziyou is a smart child. As long as he strengthens his basic math skills, it will not be difficult to improve." He added: "Good academic performance does require the guidance of excellent tutors."

"So after school, you can send Ziyou directly to my place, and I will inform you of the time." Zhong Yi would not refuse such an opportunity to deliver goods to his door.

While they were talking, they didn't notice that Zhang Xueer and Nan Li, who were not far away, heard every word of their conversation.

After confirming the details of the tutoring with Zhong Yi, Zhang Yu said goodbye and left, and found Ziyou’s other teachers to communicate about the student’s learning situation.

After an hour of hard work, he walked out of Fengfan Primary School. As he walked slowly towards the car, he noticed a familiar figure walking in front of the car - it was Nan Li.

Nan Li looked conflicted, pacing back and forth beside the car, obviously waiting for Zhang Yu. "Are you waiting for me?" Zhang Yu came over and asked.

Nan Li looked at Zhang Yu with a complicated expression, as if she had many questions to ask but was hesitant. "Is it for Huanhuan's study?" Zhang Yu asked tentatively.

Finally, Nan Li sighed: "Huanhuan's grades were not good this time. I really want to know what Ziyou's secret to excellent grades is."

Zhang Yu understood that Nan Li had to muster up the courage to ask such a question. If it was not necessary, she would not seek an answer. "Huanhuan does not seem to have done any summer review this summer." He said.

Nan Li asked back in confusion: "The school doesn't require us to do summer homework."

"In the modern world, emphasis is placed on quality rather than pure academic pressure, so school assignments have been reduced a lot, but this does not mean that students have it easy. We may help with tuition at home or with additional tutoring," Zhang Yu pointed out.

Nan Li frowned: "Many teachers in the school secretly run tutoring classes. Is it because the classroom knowledge is not enough to teach, so all the lessons are moved to extracurricular classes?"

Zhang Yu said helplessly: "The teaching methods today are different from those in our time. Schools have gradually become places to make money rather than pure teaching areas. Teachers also have to make a living. Many teach in school during the day and tutor part-time at night to earn two incomes."

Nan Li said angrily: "Private tutoring by teachers should be prohibited! If so, what do we need schools for? Isn't it better to just ask them to teach and answer questions?" Her dissatisfaction was evident in her words.

Chapter 196 Zhang Yu smiled and said, "This phenomenon is so common in society nowadays that even the Education Bureau has difficulty managing it. How can you deal with it? As parents, we should try our best to let our children adapt to this learning environment. If we don't care about our children, who can they rely on?"

Nan Li was touched by Zhang Yu's words, and her face turned ugly. How could Nan Li not understand that Zhang Yu's words were full of sarcasm. "If you just give extra lessons, are the children fighting for learning or money?" Nan Li refuted firmly.

Zhang Yu asked back: "Education is extremely expensive, both at home and abroad. The annual tuition fees of the world's top universities are hundreds of thousands. Do you think that only nine years of compulsory education can cultivate talents?"

Nan Li's face turned pale and then red after hearing this. She said unwillingly, "It's all because of the wrong guidance of you parents that the education field is in such a mess."

Zhang Yu laughed and said, "You, Nan Li, think highly of yourself and don't want to agree. So just sit here and wait for death?" These words left her speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

Zhang Yu said solemnly: "Let me give you a piece of advice. You can despise bad practices, but you must not neglect your child's studies. Huanhuan doesn't have much time to fall behind."

Nan Li was furious and shouted, "I decide what to do with my child. You don't need to tell me what to do." Zhang Yu snorted, "I'm not interfering. It's just that Huanhuan calls me uncle, so I feel the need to remind you. If you continue to indulge your child like this, you will regret it one day."

After saying that, Zhang Yu immediately unlocked the car, stopped looking at Nan Li who looked unhappy, and drove away. Nan Li was so angry that she almost yelled, but when she saw Xia Huanhuan's report card, she felt helpless.

She asked herself: "Have I really neglected to supervise her?" After returning home, Nan Li looked at her daughter playing with her youngest son, and she became more and more angry.

"Huanhuan, have you finished your homework? You just play around." After putting down her bag, she began to scold her daughter. Xia Huanhuan said innocently, "I've finished my homework long ago!"

"Let me have a look at it," Nan Li said. Xia Huanhuan wondered why her mother suddenly checked her homework today, but she still took it obediently.

Nan Li opened the homework book and remained calm at first, but soon found that there were many problems and could not help but pick up a pen to correct it. Ten minutes later, she handed the homework to her daughter angrily and shouted: "This is not homework at all, there are so many mistakes and omissions, even simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division can be wrong!"

Xia Junshan, who was busy in the kitchen, heard Nan Li's scream and immediately came out to check the situation. "Dad——" Seeing her father, Xia Huanhuan burst into tears and threw herself into her father's arms.

"Lili, what happened? Why are you yelling at Huanhuan?" Xia Junshan asked in confusion while holding his daughter. Nan Li said angrily, "Do you know what place your daughter got in the exam this time?"

Xia Junshan saw that Nan Li was in a bad mood and realized that his daughter's test results were not good: "This is just a midterm exam. It is inevitable that you will not perform well. You just need to work harder in the future."

The two had quite different ideas about the education of their children. Xia Junshan remembered that they had agreed not to put too much pressure on the children at first. "We have already discussed this a long time ago, let Huanhuan have a happy childhood," he said to Nan Li.

Nan Li was even more annoyed when she saw him protecting her daughter. "Your daughter ranked third from the bottom in the class this time." Nan Li said angrily.

Hearing this, Xia Junshan was also stunned. He originally thought that the results were not bad. "So bad?" Although Xia Junshan did not expect the result to be so bad, he did not take it to heart.

Nan Li repeated Yan Peng's words, "What did that guy Yan Peng say? He said that what you and I are doing is simply ruining Huanhuan!" This made Xia Junshan frown and question its authenticity.

"How could Yan Peng say that? He must have made a mistake." He said in a deep voice.

Nan Li did not back down: "He clearly said this in front of everyone, how could I remember it wrong?" The internal strife instantly turned into a disharmonious atmosphere outside, making Xia Junshan furious.

“I’m going to call Yan Peng right now to discuss this,” he announced.

Nan Li said in a bad tone: "Do you still feel ashamed? Ziyou ranked second in the class in this test, only one point behind Xiaomitao who ranked first in the class."

"So what if Ziyou is good at studying? Yan Peng can't say that about my daughter." Xia Junshan said angrily.

Nan Li took over the conversation and handed Huanhuan's homework book to her husband: "I think Yan Peng is right. We have been too permissive with Huanhuan in the past. You can see it by looking at this homework."

Xia Junshan picked up the homework book and glanced at it casually. He saw a large number of mistakes, even some obvious low-level errors, which would definitely be caught if they were carefully proofread.

He then questioned his daughter, "Huanhuan, have you checked your homework after you finished it?" Xia Huanhuan lowered her head and did not answer.

Xia Junshan sighed: "Didn't I tell you that you should check your writing after you finish it and make sure everything is correct before you can play?"

Huan Huan looked down at her slender little fingers and remained silent. Nan Li announced: "From now on, we will check our children's homework together. If there are any mistakes, we will solve them together and make sure they are correct."

Although Xia Junshan felt that his wife's decision was a bit harsh, he was not completely opposed to it.

However, when Nan Li really started to teach Huan Huan, she found that the child's attitude towards learning was terrible. Nan Li repeatedly explained a certain question, explaining it from various angles, but Huan Huan always listened to it with one ear and let it out with the other. No matter how many times she explained it, Huan Huan could not understand and correct it.

What's worse is that Nan Li realized that even when she was teaching her daughter, her attention was still not focused on her homework. Her eyes were always wandering, sometimes staring at the toys, sometimes looking at the water cup on the table, completely ignoring the questions themselves.

Nan Li finally couldn't help but lose her patience: "What's going on? I've taught you such a simple question several times, why don't you understand it!" Her voice unconsciously became louder.

Huanhuan looked helpless and aggrieved, and seemed about to cry.

At this time, Nan Li's mother Zhao Na walked in. She lived not far from their home and often had meals with them. "What's going on? I heard you shouting outside the door." Zhao Na was puzzled and walked closer to them.

Nan Li quickly explained to her mother: "Mom, I'm helping Huanhuan review her homework, you don't have to worry about it."

Zhao Na asked scathingly, "Tutoring is tutoring, why are you yelling and screaming? Look how scared you made your granddaughter."

However, when Zhao Na saw her granddaughter's tearful eyes asking for help, she felt distressed and said to her in comfort: "Okay, okay, reviewing and studying does not take a moment. Eat dinner first. Only when you fill your stomach can you have the energy to study well."

When Huanhuan heard this, she felt as if she had been pardoned. She put down her pen and ran to her grandmother excitedly, as if she had grasped her only hope.

Seeing her child's resistance to learning, Nan Li couldn't help but think of Zhang Yu's words, and was filled with emotion. At this moment, the dynamics of the other people in the family unfolded just as Zhang Yu had described before...

Zhang Yu saw this and smiled, "Everyone has their own strengths. My son Ziyou has had an excellent memory since he was young, so his Chinese and English grades have always been good."

Tian Yulan said expressionlessly: "No, I also need to find a math cram school for Ziyou to help him make up for his deficiencies."

Yan Ziyu couldn't help but shudder when he heard this, and the hand holding the pen almost trembled and lost its accuracy.

Today, Ziyou is burdened with extracurricular studies every day, and even his beloved football class is almost unsustainable.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu stopped Tian Yulan who was about to make a phone call and said, "It just so happens that I also want to talk to you about Ziyou's tutoring."

Tian Yulan asked in confusion: "What's the matter?"

Zhang Yu said: "You know Ziyou's math teacher Zhong Yi, right?"

"Yes, I have seen it two or three times. What happened?"

He said: "I heard that Zhong Yi's private small class teaching is very effective. Several students got excellent answers to the big questions in the recent math test under his guidance. Even Xiao Mi Tao is taking tutoring from him."

Tian Yulan was quite surprised when she heard this, but she was not panicked. Because she knew that after Zhang Yu's guidance, Ziyou also had a solution to the last difficult problem, and the final test score was quite excellent. So she did not pursue Zhong Yi's motives for taking the private class.
