Chapter 194 The Second Family Meeting
Yao Shula nodded.
"Your attitude is excellent, and I believe you can definitely do it. I'm relieved that you're the one I have the least to worry about."
However, there are still two issues to be aware of.
The first thing is that you will have to attend evening self-study now. Previously, only the senior students at No. 1 High School had evening self-study; the junior and sophomore students did not.
But starting this year, first- and second-year high school students will also have to attend evening self-study sessions.
Of course, students at No. 2 Middle School still don't need to attend evening self-study sessions.
We agreed that you would ride your bicycle to school, which would be faster than before!
Now there's another issue, which is about your dinner.
Other families come home for meals, but your school has a cafeteria, and the food there... is really not good at all.
"Shuxin, what are your own thoughts?" Yao Shula looked at Yao Shuxin.
Yao Shuxin had already thought about this issue.
"Big sister, I can eat dinner after I finish my evening self-study session. I don't want to make an extra trip every day."
Such a round trip, including meal time, would take at least half an hour, which is a huge waste of time.
"Big sister, when you're making dinner, just leave some for me. Keep it warm on the stove, and I'll eat it when I get back from evening self-study," Yao Shuxin said immediately.
Yao Shula shook her head firmly.
High school students have a tough time, they use their brains all day long. Yao Shuxin is already thin, and she has to eat lunch to stay full until after 9 pm.
That definitely won't work.
"Here's my arrangement: you don't need to come back after school in the afternoon. I'll bring you meals three times a week, and you can eat at the school cafeteria for the other three days."
I'll give you an extra meal when I get back tonight.
I've already spoken to my cousin Yamin, and she told the cafeteria staff that I can get my food at the teachers' window, where the food is a bit better than at the students' window!
"How about this?" Yao Shula asked Yao Shuxin.
Yao Shuxin immediately waved her hand.
"Sister, no need! You really don't need to bring me food. I can eat at the student window just fine."
If others can eat it, so can I!
"No! High school is already tough enough for three years. I can't help you much, but I'll make sure to take care of all the logistical support."
Listen to your older sister, all you need to do is study hard.
"Alright, that's settled then. Let's move on to the next topic!" Yao Shula declared unilaterally.
Yao Shuxin opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Yao Shuli happily raised his hand in agreement.
"Big sister, I can deliver meals to second sister every day. I can ride my bicycle to deliver the meals to second sister, and I will bring the lunchbox back after watching her finish eating."
"You have your own things to do. Your second sister's affairs are none of your business. Just take care of your own things."
What follows is about you.
"Shuli, you'll be in fourth grade when school starts. You know what your older sister wants to say, right?" Yao Shula looked at Yao Shuli.
Yao Shuli quickly expressed her opinion.
"Study hard and make progress every day. Don't skip classes. Listen carefully to the teacher in class and improve your grades. You must not fool the teacher like before."
Yao Shula nodded. "That's good. This attitude is very good now."
I just don't know how long it can last.
It seems I'll have to bring out the guarantee Yao Shuli submitted on my birthday from time to time.
"Very good! It's good that you have this attitude."
But remember, learning is a long-term endeavor; it's not something you can do sporadically. You must persevere to achieve the results you want.
Shuli, your older sister believes you can definitely do it.
Come on, everyone, let's give Shuli a big cheer!
This time, Yao Shula led the applause.
Yao Shuxin and Xiao Tiantian quickly joined in the applause.
Seeing everyone looking at him with expectant eyes, Yao Shuli was filled with energy.
It's just about studying hard, right? What's so difficult about that? You can earn money on your own, so studying hard and improving your grades is a piece of cake.
After discussing Yao Shuli's matter, everyone turned their attention to Xiao Tiantian.
This is the third student in the family.
When Xiao Tian saw that everyone was looking at him, he sat up even straighter.
Yao Shula's gaze towards Xiao Tiantian was filled with a different kind of affection.
"Tian Tian, you'll be a primary school student soon. Do you know what you need to pay attention to?" Yao Shula asked with a smile.
"Study hard and make progress every day!" Little Tiantian immediately said.
Yao Shula nodded. "That's right. Xiao Tiantian knows that she definitely likes kids who are good at studying, so she will definitely study hard."
But right now, Xiaotian needs to focus not on her studies, but on something more important.
For example... security issues.
Xiao Tiantian is a first-grade elementary school student. Although she goes to the same school as Yao Shuli, first-grade students get out of school an hour earlier than fourth-grade students.
Yao Shuli has been going to and from school by herself since first grade, without anyone picking her up or dropping her off.
But Xiaotian...
With that dream in mind, Yao Shula wouldn't dare let Xiao Tiantian take that risk.
Originally, Secretary Lei had arranged for his people to pick up Xiaotian and then take her to Yao Shula.
But Xiaotian didn't want to; she insisted on going to and from school with Yao Shuli.
Later, people from Secretary Lei's side and the school principal said that after school, Xiao Tiantian would go to the fourth-grade teacher's office to do his homework and read books, waiting for Yao Shuli to get out of school.
Yao Shula thought about it and decided that this was a good idea; it would be best if she could come home from school with Yao Shuli.
However, Yao Shula still needs to tell Xiaotian some things to pay attention to when going to school.
"Tian Tian, besides studying hard, is there anything else you should pay attention to?" Yao Shula asked, looking at Tian Tian.
Xiao Tiantian was stunned for a moment.
What else can students do besides studying hard? Sell popsicles or roasted sweet potatoes to make money?
The older sister definitely doesn't want to hear this answer.
"Big sister, you can tell me, I'll definitely listen!" Xiao Tiantian immediately looked up at Yao Shula.
Yao Shula didn't speak directly, but looked at Yao Shuli.
"Shuli, what do you think?"
"Of course, we must go to and from school on time! Especially after school, we can't be late for home because we're playing outside."
"Tian Tian, let me tell you this! Even if you skip class to go out and play, you still have to come home at the designated time after school, otherwise your older sister will worry." Yao Shuli blurted out.
Yao Shula...
Looks like this kid's done this kind of thing quite a few times before...
"Tian Tian, let me ask you a question. What should you do if you meet an old man or woman on the street who asks you for directions and wants you to help them get to where they want to go?" Yao Shula asked with a smile.
Little Tian was just about to say that it's definitely about helping others...
No, I'm a child who respects the elderly and cares for the young; my older sister wouldn't ask such a simple question...
