Chapter 201: Chapter 201

Gong Ruini felt absolutely no pressure from these test papers. As for Principal Wang, who kept peeking over, Gong Ruini simply ignored him.

Proceeding through the questions at her own pace, she didn’t forget to glance at her older brother and Zhao Guangran next to her.

On the way here, Gong Ruwen was all sorts of nervous and worried, always wondering if he would smoothly pass the assessment. But all those thoughts eased once he got the test sheet.

The difficulty wasn’t really high, it was all stuff he had studied before, leaving Gong Ruwen feeling that there was no challenge at all.

He had originally thought the school’s test papers would at least have some difficulty, but it turned out to be quite easy, which was quite disappointing.

Although he found the test paper wasn’t difficult, Gong Ruwen didn’t let his guard down; rather, he became even more careful. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novᴇlfire.net

The simpler the test paper, the more he couldn’t relax. What if there was a trap hidden somewhere?

His older brother was calmly working through the problems, which made Gong Ruini very reassured. As for Zhao Guangran beside her, Gong Ruini wasn’t going to worry; after all, Zhao Xuran was keeping an eye on him.

Zhao Guangran felt quite smug inside. He initially thought the test would be hard, but it turned out to be easy, leaving him feeling no pressure at all.

He picked up his pen and quickly started his homework. After all, he had been doing a lot of writing recently, so his writing speed had increased.

Zhao Xuran stood at a distance from Zhao Guangran. Seeing his younger brother’s cheerful face, he knew the test wasn’t difficult.

For someone who had gone through the school’s exams a few times, the school test really wasn’t difficult unless they all went brain-dead and answered randomly.

The Gong siblings were definitely not going to make this mistake, but Zhao Xuran was concerned about whether his brother, Zhao Guangran, would get too excited and then make mistakes.

The more Zhao Xuran thought about it, the more worried he became. "Do your best on the questions; don’t rush. You know the consequences if you don’t."

In front of Principal Wang, Zhao Xuran was too embarrassed to call out only Zhao Guangran, because then his brother would definitely jump up; instead, he called out all three.

Gong Ruwen and his siblings didn’t take Zhao Xuran’s words to heart, knowing exactly to whom those words were addressed. Meanwhile, Zhao Guangran was quite pleased, noticing that his own brother was also quite worried about Gong Ruwen and his siblings.

Thinking of this, Zhao Guangran felt really good, feeling like he could fly through the questions, which only made Zhao Xuran more worried.

Previously he had been doing quite well, but now it seemed he was being too flighty. "Zhao Guangran, take the questions seriously, or else you’ll have to go to and from school alone every day."

Annoying, his older brother was really annoying. Why did he have to bring up his name, not knowing that he’s timid? And why say it in front of the principal, making him feel like a kid who doesn’t like studying.

Zhao Guangran was quite displeased, but could only hold back; if he really didn’t pass the exam, he really would have to go to and from school alone.

Originally, Zhao Guangran wasn’t worried at all; after all, other kids in the village had to go to school too, and he could go with them every day, living comfortably.

But the key issue was that his older brother had mentioned before that even if he went to school, he still had to learn what he needed to, with no relaxation of the requirements, which completely killed Zhao Guangran’s ideas.

For the sake of a comfortable and bright learning environment, he couldn’t make mistakes. Zhao Guangran totally heightened his vigilance over the test paper, and no longer looked at it as easy.

Once he stopped his relaxed mindset, he started noticing many problems on the test paper, which frightened him considerably.

If it wasn’t for his older brother’s reminder, he likely wouldn’t have gone back to review, wouldn’t have found the mistakes, and then how could his scores still be good?

Zhao Guangran broke out in a cold sweat, initially filled with complaints about how overbearing Zhao Xuran was, not giving his younger brother any face, but now feeling his older brother was so great.

While Zhao Guangran edited his answers, Zhao Xuran saw him. Though he didn’t know which questions, he knew Zhao Guangran must have been careless before.

Would such a test be difficult? It should be of zero difficulty for him, yet he still managed to get questions wrong, which left Zhao Xuran speechless.

This time, the exam was relaxed, with no one urging him to leave. If he had not been present, with Zhao Guangran’s previously lackadaisical attitude, could he have achieved good results?

For the time that followed, Zhao Xuran kept a close watch on Zhao Guangran, which put a lot of pressure on him.

Even when not turning around, Zhao Guangran could feel his older brother watching his back, which made him not dare to move a muscle, worried his brother would discover something and there would be consequences.

How regrettable, if he hadn’t made mistakes at the beginning, maybe his brother wouldn’t be .

The interaction between the Zhao brothers also caught Principal Wang’s attention. Actually, he had checked Zhao Guangran’s test paper, and it was answered well, just a bit careless occasionally, which is quite normal for a little boy.

He hadn’t expected Zhao Xuran to not allow his brother to make such mistakes. "Is your younger son’s education all managed by Xuran?"

Zhao Gang was full of joy, "Yes, I’m usually busy, running around here and there. How do I have the time to keep an eye on them? Xuran oversees these kids."

Principal Wang was very pleased with Zhao Xuran. "Much better than the new teachers who have just arrived. If they were even half as capable as Xuran, I’d rest easy."

Thinking of those senior teachers at school gave Principal Wang a headache. Although he was the principal, there wasn’t much he could do about them; all he could hope for was that they wouldn’t hinder the students’ education, but such hopes seemed difficult.

"I heard your village plans to build a school." Principal Wang recalled the rumors he had heard before.

Oh, how did Principal Wang know about this, Zhao Gang was taken by surprise. However, there was no need to deny it since it was already in process. "Uh, the village plans to team up with nearby villages to set up an elementary school in our village, so that the kids can study right at their doorstep, saving them lots of time from commuting."

If not for the fact that the teachers at school weren’t very good, often being quite brash, no one would want to deal with such a troublesome matter.

The issue was that some teachers were particularly indifferent. Everyone in the village, although not overly respectful to teachers, knew well enough not to offend them; otherwise, what would happen if teachers didn’t seriously guide and educate their children?

People wanted to endure it, but couldn’t withstand their kids continuously crying and complaining about how bad school was, resulting in people approaching the village chief to report the situation, which led to this plan.

But it’s just a plan; to truly get it done is really not easy. Questions like where to find teachers, where to place the school, and various aspects need consideration. For now, it’s just an idea.
