Chapter 1190: Chapter 1191: The Love-Struck Brother’s Sister 33
Zhang Dong isn’t tempted? With Zhang Yu’s grades, she can get into First High. In a private high school, she would definitely achieve great results.
Not to mention the top ten, even the top three wouldn’t be a problem, she could get scholarships until her hands are full.
But unfortunately, he knew some things couldn’t be counted on, “She’s already registered at First High, let’s just leave it at that.”
God knows when he said this, his heart was truly bleeding.
After dinner, Zhang Yu went back to her little nook to start studying, and after seeing Zhang Yu return to her room, Liang Yan said, “Old Zhang, what’s wrong with you, didn’t you hear about all those scholarships?”
Zhang Dong gave Liang Yan a glare, what an idiot, all she sees is money. How did he ever take a fancy to such a woman?
“Everyone knows Little Yu got into First High, how do I tell them she’s going to a private high school instead?”
“Besides, Luo Gong’s son also took the entrance exam this year and also got into First High.”
Annoyed, Zhang Dong replied, “People aren’t stupid, if I say Zhang Yu transferred to another school, they’ll immediately think of the scholarship.”
“And what would everyone think then?”
“They’ll say we only care about our son and consider everything for him, without any regard for our daughter’s future.”
“Let’s just leave it at that, Little Yu entering the rocket class is a good thing, she can still get into a prestigious university for the college entrance exam.”
Zhang Dong had already planned, “Let Little Yu study hard and aim for Q University or B University.”
Don’t look at the many colleagues in the research institute, they all graduated from prestigious universities, but their kids didn’t get into B University or Q University.
“I just hope Little Yu can get into Q University or B University.” Just thinking about how colleagues will look at him with envy makes him particularly excited.
When Liang Yan thought about Zhang Yu getting into B University and Q University, her face didn’t look good.
Even Zhang Hao, who was studying in the study, didn’t look very happy.
He hoped Zhang Yu would achieve a good result, but he didn’t want her to get into such a good university.
Lost in his reverie, Zhang Dong didn’t notice the strange expressions on Liang Yan and her son’s faces, or if he did, he didn’t think much of it, thinking this was a big family celebration and everyone should be happy.
Zhang Hao didn’t know how he got through that night, all he knew was that he was in a bad mood. After returning to his room, his face immediately changed.
“I absolutely cannot let Zhang Yu get into B University or Q University.” As the son, Zhang Hao knew too well how intimidating those two schools were to Zhang Dong.
Zhang Hao wanted to stop Zhang Yu from getting into a prestigious university, but he couldn’t think of a way, should he make a move on Zhang Yu, push her down the stairs?
Zhang Hao had many ideas to make Zhang Yu disappear or unable to take exams, but he knew he would get into trouble.
He didn’t want to ruin his own life over Zhang Yu, it wasn’t worth it.
“Forget it, why am I worrying about this now.” Zhang Hao felt he was overthinking it. Had Zhang Yu’s grades been bad in middle school?
The result, in the third year, weren’t her grades dropping, and didn’t she score poorly on the entrance exam?
For all he knew, the cycle might repeat itself in the third year of high school, and by then, he wouldn’t need to do anything, Zhang Yu would mess things up herself.
Yes, that’s it, his current focus should be on studying hard.
The top ten, don’t think about it; the top twenty, also forget it; the top thirty is risky, but the top forty is attainable.
Although the scholarships aren’t as impressive, at least there’s still a scholarship to be had.
He’s confident that any scholarship he earns will absolutely be for his own use and not handed over.
“Tomorrow when I go to school, I have to work hard.” Before falling asleep, Zhang Hao vowed once more to study diligently.
As long as his grades improved, his demands would certainly not be opposed by his parents.
Did Zhang Yu’s recent improvement in grades have something to do with that online course she took?
Zhang Hao thought her placement in the rocket class must be attributed to the online course, should he take it too?
Just thinking about the content of the online course made Zhang Hao feel pressured, “Forget it, I’ll wait until midterms to see everyone’s grades, then I’ll decide.”
If his grades still ranked decently in the class, he’d skip the online course.
Looking at the three finished science test papers, Zhang Yu couldn’t help but let out a long breath, “I’m really sick of doing these.”
After drinking a glass of water, Zhang Yu planned to take a shower and then rest.
Tomorrow she’d aim to do well in math and Chinese. Zhang Yu had previously thought that the outstanding entrance exam scores of First High were due to the many top students enrolled.
After starting her studies, Zhang Yu understood that top students were only part of the reason; more importantly, everyone was truly working hard.
This was just the first year of high school, and they had just started. The teachers were already so harsh, she couldn’t imagine how stressful it would be in the third year.
She should aim to get into college by the second year at least, so as not to endure the hardships of the third year.
Zhang Yu knew that to gain the school’s consent for early college entrance, she needed to maintain stable grades for the next two years to show she was capable of trying.
Zhang Dong had just finished the work he brought back home, saved it, and was about to go rest when he noticed Zhang Yu had just finished up as well.
“Haven’t you rested yet?” Zhang Dong was quite concerned, “These three years in high school, it’s a long journey, health is very important.”
Zhang Yu acknowledged him with a sound, “Dad, don’t worry, I get up to run every morning.”
Zhang Dong never expected Zhang Yu to get up to run every morning, “You manage to get up?”
“I’ve gotten used to it,” Zhang Yu replied blandly, “Dad, I’m going to bed.”
Zhang Dong acknowledged her, stopped by Zhang Hao’s door, and after thinking for a bit, decided he could have Zhang Hao get up to run every morning too.
Before going for a run, Zhang Yu would prepare the ingredients needed for breakfast, then go out running.
After returning, she efficiently cooked breakfast, took a shower, and handled a series of tasks very swiftly.
Because of things on his mind, Zhang Dong didn’t sleep well all night. Hearing a door close, he got up to take a look and found the little nook was already empty.
He saw some ingredients laid out on the kitchen counter, knowing they must be for Zhang Yu’s breakfast.
“The difference is significant.” Both in first grade of high school, one morning, Zhang Yu could accomplish so much.
In comparison, Zhang Hao had to be urged repeatedly every morning to get up.
Zhang Dong was curious, if Zhang Hao got up to run every morning, wouldn’t that solve these problems?
Sitting on the sofa, he wanted to chat with Zhang Yu for a bit but ended up feeling a bit drowsy, thinking he could rest for a short while.
He thought he heard the door open, assuming Zhang Yu was back from her run, but it turned out she was heading out to school.
The ingredients on the kitchen counter were gone, indicating they must have been eaten.
Even the pots and pans had been cleaned, and the changed clothes had been washed too.
“This is the difference.” Right after saying this, he saw Liang Yan rushing out of the room, incessantly knocking on Zhang Hao’s door, “Xiao Hao, it’s quarter past six, get up, get up.”
One was still sleeping, while the other was already off to school. Zhang Dong was a bit worried whether Zhang Hao could endure hardships.
