Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 829 - 831: Home Visit

Zhao Guangran was in a foul mood, and not even his good performance in the recent monthly exams could make him smile.

Gong Ruini and Cao Na knew why he was so unhappy, but the rest of the people had no clue.

Although one had to pass the middle school exams to enter this high school, since they were already attending since junior high, along with Zhao Xuran’s halo presence, Gong Ruini and the others had quite a comfortable time at school.

Adding to that, Gong Ruini had good grades, and the teachers and leaders at school were hopeful that she could win a top spot in the college entrance exams three years later.

Even though Zhao Guangran’s grades weren’t that great, he had a knack for talking and could carry a conversation well, so he was quite popular in class.

Zhao Guangran was usually all smiles and laughter with everyone, so seeing him suddenly so serious was really unsettling for people.

People kept saying how impressive it was that Zhao Guangran, the brother who scored top in the entrance exams, still wasn’t satisfied with such good results.

This made many people who were very satisfied with their results feel ashamed, each of them thinking they should study harder when they got home.

As for the teachers of each subject, it was even more so. Even though Zhao Guangran’s grades weren’t the best in class, they were decent, among the top five in the grade, yet even a student like him was dissatisfied with his results, which made the teachers feel reassured.

Although the entrance exams had been reinstated, many people had gone into business, leading to a sentiment that studying was useless, which made the teachers who had been teaching for many years quite nervous.

It’s said that the parents of the Zhao Family and Gong Family were also in business, but it’s not surprising that the first batch of students who went to university after the movement were strict with their children’s grades. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

However, enjoying studying is good, and having high standards is also good, but too much pressure can easily lead to problems.

An experienced teacher expressed the need to talk to the homeroom teacher about this, thinking that although Zhao Guangran might not become a top scorer, with such effort, he would definitely get into Jing University.

Such a promising student couldn’t have any problems; otherwise, the school would lose a slot for Jing University.

Zhao Guangran had no idea that his troubled face would lead the teachers to think like this. He only felt unhappy for various reasons.

Why was he one of the bosses of the Hong Kong-style tea restaurant, yet he wasn’t included in the opening?

Although he was now in the first year of high school, were the first-year courses a problem for him?

Come on, those were not problems. Missing such an important moment in life for the so-called classes made Zhao Guangran feel all sorts of wrong.

Seeing Zhao Guangran not only with a long face but also with an intermittent ugly expression, quite frightened the homeroom teacher who wanted to talk to Zhao Guangran.

The homeroom teacher thought about it and decided that since Zhao Guangran was like this and would probably say nothing was wrong even if asked, it was better to call out Gong Ruini.

Gong Ruini was utterly confused; she really didn’t know why the teacher was calling her, especially when she found out why the teacher had called her; she was even more speechless.

But in front of the teacher, she couldn’t say that Zhao Guangran was distracted and unhappy about not being able to witness the store opening firsthand.

When it came to calling the parents, Zhao Guangran would receive different treatment.

"Teacher, I know, I’ll talk to him. After all, Brother Xu Ran getting top marks puts quite a bit of pressure on him too."

Attending the same school had its downsides, with many teachers aware of Zhao Guangran’s situation, so Gong Ruini could only attribute Zhao Guangran’s unusual behavior to having an outstanding brother.

The teacher didn’t raise any doubts; after all, having such a strong brother, it was normal for Zhao Guangran to feel this way.

At the same time, they couldn’t help but worry whether Zhao Guangran might collapse under the heavy pressure, which would indeed be a big problem.

Even if Zhao Guangran might not necessarily become the top scorer in the college entrance exams, it was at least certain that he would get into a good university, bringing honor to the school.

Thinking about this, the teacher increasingly felt that they couldn’t let Zhao Guangran have too much pressure, lest such an excellent student be ruined.

The more the teacher thought about it, the more they felt the need to call Zhao Guangran’s parents to the school to discuss the student’s pressure issues.

"You should let Zhao Guangran’s parents know and have them visit the school when they have time." The teacher thought it over, "I’ll do a home visit."

A home visit? No way, Gong Ruini thought the teacher would just brush over it after some thought, but unexpectedly, the teacher was still planning a home visit. What to do now? Could it be a serious problem?

The teacher chuckled at Gong Ruini’s dumbfounded look, realizing she thought the home visit was for complaints, "It’s not for complaints; I just want to see what kind of environment a top scorer grows up in."

Just for that? Gong Ruini thought it seemed unlikely; if that were the case, they could just ask Zhao Xuran’s previous teachers. Was it really necessary to make such a big deal?

But since the teacher had said so, could she refuse? "Teacher, what day do you plan to do the home visit?"

Since the teacher said so, it shouldn’t be anything bad. She planned to give Zhao Guangran a heads-up, so he could prepare himself mentally.

"I’m not sure, just within the next few days, is that okay?"

No fixed time, huh? That makes it a bit challenging to gauge, "Uncle Zhao is busy with work, and Aunt Zhan is a doctor who often has emergencies. How about having Brother Xu Ran contact you?"

After much consideration, Gong Ruini felt it might be better for Zhao Xuran to step in so they could handle everything internally.

Though it felt inappropriate, after all, as a top scorer, he would surely value his brother’s studies, "Okay."

Gong Ruini joyfully went to tell Zhao Guangran the good news, saying she solved a big problem for him.

Seriously? Zhao Guangran was shocked, oh my, "Did I ever tell you, Ni Zi, that you’re actually an idiot?"

Zhao Guangran had never thought Gong Ruini could be so silly, it truly was a first.

Idiot? "What do you mean?" Gong Ruini was upset and demanded an explanation from Zhao Guangran.

What do I mean? Sigh, why explain anything to this person, "You just think Brother is all great, never considering how he treats me."

At the thought of how Brother would educate him later, Zhao Guangran felt like dying.

"Sigh, what do I do?" Zhao Guangran felt exhausted, "I might as well admit I was distracted, that way it wouldn’t be too much of an issue."

The more Zhao Guangran thought about it, the more he felt it was better to admit his mistakes early; that way, even if the teacher found out, it wouldn’t matter. Being good at studies allowed for a bit of impudence, far better than not knowing what to do now.

Watching Zhao Guangran muttering endlessly, Gong Ruini ignored him. Really, after helping out, not even a word of thanks, it truly was disheartening.
