My Wife Is A Miracle Doctor In The 80s

Chapter 183: Chapter 185: Childish Words

As he bowed his head to delve into the answers, time quietly slipped away. After checking his paper several times, he looked at the clock, only a half hour had passed. He rubbed his hands. Since starting school, he had never finished answering questions this quickly. In past exams, he would scratch his head and cast anxious glances all around until the test was over.

This time, he finished so smoothly. There were only a few blanks left, and he regretted once he saw the questions he couldn’t answer. He had definitely seen these before, but he completely forgot about them. He would have to watch out for these little problems in the future. Otherwise, like today, he would skip several blanks, which could cost him at least five points.

Uneasy, he carefully checked his paper several times again. When he found no mistakes, he waited to hand in his paper. Until the bell rang, this exam was over. After a ten minute break, it would be time for the math test.

He handed in his paper, and immediately took out his notebook. He went over the key points for revision again. It is truly regrettable that he was short on time. Had he known earlier, he would have stayed up an extra half hour to study, and then time wouldn’t have been an issue.

Unlike now, when he had to cram at the last second.

Soon, it was time to prepare for the second exam.

When the exam papers were handed down, Chen Lidong’s hands itched to start. He let out a deep breath upon seeing the questions – they were much simpler than he expected. Many of them were problems that Tang Yuxin had taught them before, many would be found on the practice problems the teachers provided them.

He used to think math was the hardest subject, with each question more challenging and headache-inducing than the last. But now, he realized math was much simpler than language arts, at the very least, it didn’t require writing essays.

Following the method Tang Yuxin taught them, Chen Lidong wrote the answers on the draft paper first. Then when he was sure there were no mistakes, he transferred them onto the test paper. At the very least, the clean answer sheet would make a good impression on the teacher. What’s more, he had been practicing his handwriting for the past six months. Now his handwriting was much better than before, which was comforting to see.

When he finished the exam, he sneakily glanced at Xu Miaomiao. Xu Miaomiao was also engrossed in her exam, but she had a relaxed smile on her face. It seemed these questions couldn’t be difficult for her either.

The math exam went unusually smoothly. After two exams, they had to prepare for English and history in the afternoon. The most difficult subjects had already been tested. The remaining ones like history, geography, and biology were just about cramming.

Both of them had been relentlessly drilled by Tang Yuxin. Sometimes, Tang Yuxin would make fun of them, saying how they were junior high students but their English was not as good as Sisi. Tang Yuxin started teaching Sisi English when Sisi was very young. Even though Sisi is now only a first-grader, her English is quite fluent, which put them to shame.

They were supposed to go home separately to eat. However, Xu Miaomiao and Chen Lidong insisted on going to her house. Along the way, they asked Tang Yuxin to quiz them to see if they could answer the questions that Tang Yuxin guessed would be on the exam.

Out of the questions Tang Yuxin guessed, they got about half right, maybe even more. While Tang Yuxin felt reassuring, she didn’t completely trust her intuition. Sometimes human intuition can be misleading. Hence, she was afraid that she had given them too much hope.

No, they must make comprehensive progress next year, and can no longer rely on guessing. While they could enjoy good food by following her and she had a knack for guessing, the majority of the exam content she remembered from her middle and high school days. However, she could not let it go too far and ruin the habits of these two children by them relying on guessing, scheming, and cheating. They can’t get by in everything without a solid foundation.

Once they arrived home, Xu Miaomiao voluntarily rolled up her sleeves and started helping Zhang Xiangcao cook. She had learnt a lot of dishes recently and even went home and flaunted her new skills to her parents. Xu Miaomiao’s mother was so moved that she specifically went to thank Zhang Xiangcao several times.

As for Chen Lidong, he played with Sisi. Chen Lidong really liked Sisi, really, really liked her. These two, one big and one small, were inseparable all day and never seemed to tire of each other.

Sometimes, even Tang Yuxin marveled at Chen Lidong’s patience with Sisi, and felt inferior in comparison.

If they didn’t have such a large age gap, Tang Yuxin would worry that they might start an age-defying romance.

But then she realized that she was overthinking. Sisi was only six years old, while Chen Lidong was almost sixteen. That’s a ten-year age gap.

If this were the old times, they would have been married and had kids by now.

Of course, such a thought might flash through her mind. It wasn’t until later when Sisi hadn’t graduated from college when she was swept away by an older man, that Tang Yuxin, almost chopping people with a kitchen knife in anger, realized that she had indeed invited the wolf into her home. Although the older man was not Chen Lidong, she still felt bitter.

But of course, this is something for the future, and there’s no need to mention it for now.

After dinner, they still had some time, so Tang Yuxin took out her books, and the three of them reviewed for a while. Such review was also beneficial for Tang Yuxin herself. At the very least, she could apply what she had learned and won’t forget what she had learned. It also served as a reinforcement for her memory.

Two more exams were taken in the afternoon, and more exams were to follow tomorrow. Tang Yuxin thought they would finally get some rest. However, when she reached home, two “tails” were still following her.

Xu Miaomiao was not an issue – she could simply sleep with Tang Yuxin. As for Chen Lidong…

“Brother will sleep with Sisi, not in the kitchen.”

Sisi puffed out her chest, naturally offering a place for Chen Lidong to sleep, otherwise, he might have to sleep in the kitchen.

Zhang Xiangcao was so shocked she almost choked on her own saliva, while Tang Zhijun embarrassedly turned his face, saying nothing. It seemed that they, as a couple, must be careful about what they say in the future, in case the children overhear, like this…

Tang Yuxin blinked, automatically filtering out the things that transpired between the couple, yes, she was still a child, she wouldn’t think too much, she didn’t think too much.

She would definitely not think too much, was it possible that her Uncle Tang and Aunt Tang, couldn’t help themselves, and did this and that in the kitchen. Then Sisi saw, and thought they were going to sleep in the kitchen.
