"Alright, our Xiaoting is amazing." Xu Nianhua handed over the water she had prepared, smiling, "It's okay, even if you don't pass, it's no big deal. Being in the second grade is quite impressive too."
Xu Ting looked up and drank the water, saying no more.
"Xu Ting's mom." The teacher walked out excitedly and asked, "Did Xu Ting learn all on her own at home?"
"Yes." Xu Nianhua, somewhat surprised, noticed the teacher's excitement. A thought arose in her mind as she glanced at Xu Ting, who was grinning broadly, feeling a swell of pride.

"You're back? I made some delicious food for you. Xiaoting's favorite, shrimp, how does it look? Do you like it?" Jiang Wanru doted on the children, whether it was Xu Ting or Tiantian, or Hongen and Hongyu. She always remembered what they loved to eat.
"Thank you, grandma." Xu Ting, seeing several of her favorite dishes on the table, happily said, "Grandma, I'll be in the third grade tomorrow."
