She Lives Well with the Shopping App in the 80s-Chapter 735: Not Letting the Child Lose at the Starting Line

Yun Xiaoxiao talked nonstop, "Nowadays, some schools admit children who live nearby, but their household registration needs to be in those areas. Otherwise, you have to pay a lot of money to get into those schools."

"Little sister, how could you speak of such things?"

"How are your two nephews doing at school, and what’s the quality of their education? If it’s not good, you should start planning early. No matter how tough it is, you can’t let the children suffer. When it’s time to spend money, you must be willing to do so."

Second Brother Yun understood instantly.

To attend a good school, firstly, you need to have a house and household registration near the school.

Secondly, you have to pay a high price for your kids to study there.

Eldest Sister-in-law Yun showed a smile uglier than bitterness, "We should indeed think about it."

Their two kids were attending the elementary school under the machinery factory.

"Little sister, how did Da Bao do on the final exams? My Qingqing, I don’t know what’s going on but she’s somehow biased in her subjects, scoring ninety-five in math but only seventy in Chinese."

Second Brother Yun was overjoyed with the math score but wanted to lash out upon seeing the Chinese score. Yet, this daughter was their first child, a bit of a free spirit, and she took care of her younger sister and brother.

"Perfect scores."

Not one hundred, but perfect scores in both.

"First grade?"

"Second grade."

Eldest Sister-in-law Yun and Eldest Brother Yun fell silent.

The eldest was in third grade, and Laoer was in second, neither having passed.

"What does Da Bao like to do in his free time?"

Perfect scores?

Second Brother Yun just wanted to know what Da Bao liked to do, so he could replicate it for his daughter.

"He likes to read books, practice calligraphy, play chess, and I’m not sure if they like musical instruments, but I’ll ask when we go back to Capital City after the new year?"

They’re truly not letting their child lose at the starting line.

"What kind of books does he read?"

"A Hundred Thousand Whys, children’s storybooks, fables. Reading these books can develop their imagination and improve their writing skills. They will start to learn essay writing in third and fourth grade. Reading more books allows them to write beautiful sentences, instead of rigid ones.

For example, when describing a flower, many kids would simply write the flower is beautiful and stop there."

"There’s nothing wrong with that, is there?"

Yun Xiaoxiao chuckled, "Not only can we write about what kind of flower it is, we can also personify it, describe it in terms of the weather, the climate, emotions. Some kids can sum it up in ten words, but others can use a hundred words to describe the same flower. Who do you think is stronger?"

You don’t have to be a fool to understand.

Of course, it’s the child who can describe the flower in a hundred words.

"For the Chinese exam, you must master the basic questions. Reading comprehension and composition are also key; they count for a significant portion of the marks. Qingqing’s score of seventy must be due to losing points in reading and picture description, right?"

Second Brother Yun didn’t know; he only received the school report.

"Then I’ll have a look at the library tomorrow."

Second Brother Yun’s grades were average when he was in school; he practiced free-range parenting on his children.

Now that he knows reading can improve grades, he won’t let this opportunity slip away.

Eldest Sister-in-law Yun and Eldest Brother Yun were also thinking, perhaps they should buy some books for their two kids too.

"Little sister, how long will you stay this time? Last time you came, you only stayed for a day before you left." Eldest Sister-in-law Yun had not forgotten about her daughter who had married off and even received a share of the money.

To this, Eldest Sister-in-law Yun was very dissatisfied. Why should they? Why should the money be divided with this younger sister-in-law?
