Chapter 6 The gap between people
"mom"

Qin Juan raised her eyes and looked at Qin Yu in front of her. She didn't open her mouth, but just squeezed out a sound from her throat.

"Ok?"

"Well, next time in class, could you speak a little slower?"

She has already learned most of the content of the geography class in No. 8 Middle School during the summer vacation. Besides, she lives with her mother now. If there is something she doesn't understand, she can just go home and ask her mother.

During the physical education class, she also secretly asked Zhang Yan how the geography class was today. Zhang Yan said that although the content was a little more than usual, it was still at an acceptable level. The only difference was that she would be very tired after the geography class.

She could understand that her mother chose to speed up the teaching process for the sake of her grades, but if this was at the expense of the learning progress of other students, she would be under a lot of pressure.

The unexpected request surprised Qin Juan. She stopped writing and frowned, "Why, can't you keep up?"

"No, I can keep up, but it seems that everyone looks very tired after class." Qin Yu explained.

Qin Juan's frown relaxed slightly. It seemed that Qin Yu did not encounter the situation that she was most worried about.

It's not surprising. It was her idea to put her in Class 6. As one of the only three municipal-level outstanding teachers in No. 8 Middle School, she still has some say in the school.

"This pace is in my plan. You don't have to worry about whether the others can keep up. Just make sure you do well in your own performance."

Qin Yu curled up her toes slightly in her white cotton slippers, put her hands behind her back, twisted her fingers, and looked away: "But I see that many students in the class are not listening well."

"Those people have given up on themselves, and you expect them to listen carefully?" Qin Juan snorted coldly. She certainly knew what ugly nicknames these kids had given her in private.

She is different from some of the teachers here. Compared to those teachers who have been teaching here for a long time and are used to relaxed education, she once taught in Hebei and knows very well that some students cannot be helped at all.

What's more, human energy is limited. If we put extra energy on those students who laugh and joke with her all day long and study or not depending on their mood, it would be unfair to those serious students.

So even though there are many students who don't like her, she can still provide No. 8 Middle School with dozens of liberal arts students with excellent geography scores every year.

Qin Juan felt something was wrong. Her daughter, who had never let her worry about her studies, came to talk to her about the progress of her studies. She thought of Chen Shen, who was mentioned yesterday, and how Chen Shen was serious at the beginning of the geography class, but then acted like a slacker.
"Qin Yu, do you know what the most important thing for you now is?"

Qin Yu's face turned pale, and she lowered her head in hesitation: "I know."

Seeing Qin Yu's well-behaved appearance, Qin Juan relaxed her brows, reached out and gently grasped her daughter's arm, revealing a gentle smile that was enough to make all the teachers and students of No. 8 Middle School drop their jaws.

"As long as you follow the path your mother has planned for you, you will definitely have a future that everyone will envy."

"Ah."

"Eat some fruit before you study."

"Okay~" Xu Suiyou nodded with a smile, reached out and used a toothpick to pick a mango from the fruit plate that Wu Yun placed on the table, and put it in his mouth.

"What's wrong with him?" Wu Yun pointed at his stupid son. Chen Shen was lying on the table at this moment, looking weak.

Xu Suiyou put another grape in his mouth and complained, "I was so exhausted from reading a geography book."

Chen Shen, who heard everything, raised his head weakly, took another toothpick and looked for grapes to eat.

Today was the same as yesterday, they still studied together, but today Ms. Wu and Lao Chen did not go to Xu Suiyou's house to chat with Lao Xu. The two middle-aged men went out for a drink, and the task of taking care of the two children naturally fell on Wu Yun.

He can’t help with studying, but when it comes to diet, Wu Yun is the boss.

Snacks, drinks, fruits. If she let these two children say the word "hungry", she would feel unworthy of the title of "mother".

"If you can't watch anymore, just take a break or play some games. There's still half a year left."

Wu Yun never put pressure on Chen Shen to study. After all, it was a pleasant surprise that Chen Shen could go to high school. The education level in a small town is different from that in the city. Chen Shen went to elementary school in the town and then went to the town junior high school.

Because of this incident, Wu Yun blamed himself a lot.

When Chen Shen was in elementary school, his grades were among the best. Every teacher who saw him couldn't help but praise him as a genius.

Just because of family reasons, Wu Yun had to go out to work when Chen Shen was in the third grade of elementary school.

Since the couple were busy with work, the task of taking care of Chen Shen naturally fell on Chen Shen's grandparents.

The old man was busy with work, and the old lady was addicted to mahjong. Sometimes they didn't even cook for Chen Shen at noon. They just gave Chen Shen two dollars and let him buy snacks outside.

Without Wu Yun's watchful eye, the town primary school was a place of mixed people, and at that time, there were many illegal Internet cafes where one dollar could be used to play for half an hour, so it was natural for Chen Shen to learn bad habits.

When Chen Shen was in junior high school, no one thought he could get into high school. He thought he would go to a technical secondary school for two years like most of his peers in the town, and then find a job. But Chen Shen was so hardworking that he barely made it into No. 8 Middle School.
So even though he is now in the third year of high school, neither Wu Yun nor Lao Chen will force Chen Shen to study or say anything like he must get into college.

Of course, the couple were also happy from the bottom of their hearts that Chen Shen wanted to study hard.

"I calculated that I can get 300 in Chinese, math and English, and 180 in liberal arts. If I'm lucky, I might even be able to get into a top university."

"Okay, okay." Wu Yun couldn't suppress the smile on her face. She wanted to encourage Chen Shen a little more, but she was afraid of putting pressure on Chen Shen. In the end, she just wiped her hands on her side and said, "Whatever Sui Sui wants to eat tomorrow, Auntie will make it for you."

Xu Suiyou was not polite: "I haven't eaten beans for a long time."

Chen Shen's eyes lit up when he heard the word "green beans". He was a little picky about food, and green beans were one of his favorite vegetables.

"Okay, Mom, let's stir-fry some beans and pork tomorrow."

"Okay, you guys continue studying, don't get too tired."

After watching Wu Yun leave the room and closing the door gently, Chen took a deep breath, sat up straight, and opened the Geography Compulsory Course in front of him again.

There are so many places where he has fallen behind that he has to start from the very beginning.

The room fell silent, leaving only the rustling sound of Xu Suiyou's pen and the sound of Chen Shen occasionally flipping through the pages of a book.

Geography books are not like politics and history. They do not have so many interesting stories, so they are naturally not that interesting to review.

Chen Shen moved his cervical vertebrae and his eyes began to dart around uncontrollably.

This is his room and he knows everything about it.

If I had to pick someone I didn't know so well at this moment, it would only be Xu Suiyou, who was sitting on the other side of the small table with her hair in a bun and a fair face.

In less than three seconds, Xu Suiyou, who had been writing something with his head down, took a deep breath and looked at Chen Shen with a stern face.

"What are you looking at me for?"

Chen Shen had no idea what Qingmei was thinking about. He raised the corner of his mouth and said casually, "Do you know how karst landforms are formed?"

Xu Suiyou answered without thinking: "Groundwater or surface water destroys and reconstructs soluble rocks."

Chen Shen was silent.

Damn, it took him several seconds just to sort out and understand this sentence in his mind, and even then, he might still make mistakes if he just read it over and over.

Is there really an IQ gap between him and Xu Suiyou?
