Chapter 511: Chapter 6 Photos

“So, teacher, what exactly are you trying to say?” Lin Xiaoguai interrupted the young teacher across from her, who had been continuously praising Little Sun without end.

—As a mother, she naturally liked others praising her children, but the key point was that the teacher had been praising for nearly twenty minutes and still hadn’t gotten to the main point.

Jiang Xinhua choked, coughed twice, and said, “The thing is, Han Yiheng is extremely talented in mathematics, but when our math teacher asked him to stay back for extra lessons to prepare for next month’s national mathematics Olympiad, he refused, saying he had to attend classes at the Children’s Palace.”

He paused, “I don’t object to students having personal interests outside of class, but I do hope they can prioritize. With Han Yiheng’s ability, he can undoubtedly achieve a good ranking in this competition. It would be a wonderful addition to his life resume, and as a teacher, I don’t want him to miss such an opportunity. After all, he already missed such a chance in previous years, and if he misses it again, he won’t have another chance during his six years of primary school. Next year they will graduate, and as seniors, the school will definitely require them to focus on preparing for exams.”

Lin Xiaoguai smiled slightly and said, “I understand your point, Mr. Jiang, I will talk to him about it. But ultimately, it depends on his own wishes.”

Jiang Xinhua sighed with relief.

After leaving the school, Shen Chi was already waiting for her, and they got into the car.

“Today, Sisi’s homeroom teacher told me they hope she can participate in the national primary school essay competition,” Shen Chi said, starting the car and frowning.

Since the quadruplets were in two different classes, during this parent-teacher meeting, Shen Chi attended Sisi and Little Spring Breeze’s classes, while Lin Xiaoguai went to Little Sun and Qiaoqiao’s classes.

Lin Xiaoguai was startled, then laughed, “Little Sun’s homeroom teacher also wants him to participate in the national mathematics Olympiad.”

“These kids…” Shen Chi said somewhat amusedly, “I remember Little Niangao loved participating in all sorts of competitions. He even made us get him a special cabinet to store his various trophies and certificates. He still treasures that cabinet. How come it’s different with the four little ones?”

“I remember last year Little Spring Breeze didn’t want to participate in the martial arts competition, and Qiaoqiao also doesn’t like dance competitions.”

“Let’s ask them when we get home,” Lin Xiaoguai thought.

Back at home, when they saw the quadruplets sitting on the couch watching TV, Lin Xiaoguai called out to them, “Do you know what your homeroom teachers told your dad and me today?”

“It must be about wanting Sisi to participate in the essay competition,” Gu Yijing said, rolling her eyes.

Shen Yiqiao nodded, “Mr. Jiang definitely mentioned Little Sun participating in the mathematics Olympiad.”

Lin Xiaoguai raised an eyebrow, “Then can you tell me why you don’t want to participate?” She didn’t object to her children participating in these events; she believed that while the competitions were optional, the honors received could to some extent boost the children’s confidence. Moreover, participating in many competitions could also be beneficial for broadening one’s horizons.

“I want to learn saxophone at the Children’s Palace,” Han Yiheng said, looking up.

“I want to learn calligraphy,” Shen Yisi followed.

Like Shen Yinian, who loved various models and later went on to study fine brush painting, the quadruplets also had their own hobbies; Shen Yisi liked calligraphy and reading; Han Yiheng liked saxophone and badminton; Gu Yijing liked martial arts and carving; Shen Yiqiao liked violin and dancing.

With Lin Xiaoguai supervising by their side, they had always been persistent, even the impatient ones like Gu Yijing and Shen Yiqiao had well integrated their hobbies into their lives.

“Don’t fob me off with that,” Lin Xiaoguai glared at them, “What are you really thinking?”

The quadruplets looked at each other for a while, and Han Yiheng pursed his lips, “Big Brother has already won first place in these competitions; there’s no point in us winning them again.”

Lin Xiaoguai was taken aback, then saw Gu Yijing nodding in agreement, “Exactly, what’s the point in getting the same honors as Big Brother? By the time we reach middle school, we definitely won’t be inferior to him.”

Primary school was different from middle school. Shen Yinian was able to develop comprehensively in primary school, winning numerous awards, but in middle school, he had to focus more on his studies and participated in fewer competitions, usually only in areas he excelled.
