Lin Jiadong came to Yan City with the school team.
Though it’s called a team, it’s just a math teacher with two students.
The round trip would take about ten days, and aside from books, everyone had to carry a change of clothes and basic living supplies.
......
This time they were in Yan City for a seven-day training, and then they would head directly to the capital with other team members.
Lin Jiadong originally wanted to argue, but when he thought of his second sister, who had to drop out despite her excellent grades because of the eldest sister, he stayed silent.
This time, both students were from Lin Jiadong’s class, so naturally the supervising teacher was their math teacher.
Tian had no objection, just asked him to attend the training at First High School on time.
Hu Yaping couldn’t be bothered to explain further and greeted Lin Chuxia before going home.
The school wasn’t well-off financially, and the expenses for this trip were planned.
Lin Chuxia didn’t agree with this notion. Intelligence isn’t determined by gender. There are plenty of highly intelligent women, just limited in certain fields due to various reasons.
"Second sister, do you hate older sister? If it weren’t for her, you might have gone to university."
Hu Xingwei quickly followed her.
Lin Chuxia had nothing to do, and she knew roughly when the bus from An City to Yan City would arrive, so she drove to the station to pick them up.
"Aunt Lin just came back?"
Li Youmin’s eyes lit up and he moved closer to Teacher Tian, "Teacher Tian, I still have two questions I’m unsure about. Could you explain them to me?"
Hu Yaping coldly glanced at Hu Xingwei, "What rival? Don’t talk nonsense if you don’t understand. We’re from the same province; the teacher said when we compete nationally, we’re allies."
"No need, it’s not far. We can walk, and it gives the kids a chance to see the provincial city’s development."
After the Jeep left, Li Youmin sighed.
"Yes," Hu Xingwei saw Lin Jiadong getting out of the Jeep and became interested, "Aunt Lin, is your brother visiting you again?" Surely it wasn’t what he thought?
Lin Jiadong had long noticed that the relationship between the eldest sister and second sister wasn’t good.
"She’s really strong then. Our teacher said that by high school, boys’ physiological advantages would give them stronger logical thinking in math and physics. I noticed that more boys participated in the provincial competition."
He overheard this from a student who kept talking.
Teacher Tian retracted his gaze, picked up his luggage, and said directly, "Let’s go. It’s just a few steps; there’s no need for a car."
Seeing the man evaluating her, Lin Chuxia spoke first, "Hello, Teacher Tian, I’m Lin Jiadong’s sister."
Since Teacher Tian said so, Lin Chuxia didn’t insist but let Lin Jiadong say goodbye to the teacher and classmates.
Lin Jiadong had already reported to Teacher Tian that he would be staying at his sister’s house during these days.
Every good horse needs a boswell to recognize it.
As soon as he got off the bus, he saw the Jeep not far away and waved enthusiastically, "Second Sister."
Seeing her now, he was surprised that Lin Jiadong’s sister was so young and recalled his student’s remark: "Your sister is so pretty, she must have married a high-ranking official to drive a car."
The guesthouses didn’t provide disposable toiletries at that time.
"Don’t think too much about it; we’re here to study, not to worry about others’ opinions. Besides, Lin Jiadong staying with a relative saves the school travel expenses, and one room is enough for the two of us."
Lin Chuxia glanced at Hu Xingwei and then at Hu Yaping behind him, seeing her also staring at Lin Jiadong, she said directly, "My brother did well in the last math competition and is here for provincial training."
"Is it possible that fewer girls reach high school in the first place?"
"I’ll explain them to you in the evening."
Lin Chuxia approached as well.
He should be Lin Jiadong’s math teacher.
To teach two students who rank in the top five provincially shows his teaching standard.
"So he’s going to the capital finals too?" Hu Xingwei happily pulled Hu Yaping, "Sister, your rival is here."
Teacher Tian wasn’t interested in such gossip, but upon first meeting Lin Chuxia, he liked her attitude.
The man seemed to be in his early forties, wearing a Zhongshan suit with parted hair and thick glasses.
His ten years of shadows made him instinctively avoid such people, only to realize she held him in high regard and respect.
"Even if the eldest sister hadn’t forced me to drop out in junior high, I wouldn’t have gotten into university," Lin Chuxia said lightly, patting Lin Jiadong on the shoulder, "Alright, it’s all in the past, don’t overthink it. Train well these days and aim for a good rank in the national competition. Second sister believes in you."
