At the age of 38, he went to college and his children were classmates.

School ends at noon.

Shen Qiushan went to the cafeteria to buy food by himself.

Let Shen Yixiao and Shen Yanran go to Lin Xiamo's office first.

The brother and sister met in the corridor, both with a look of despair on their faces.

Out of five days a week, I have to take English classes after school on three afternoons. Now even my lunch break is being used!
Although it is the sprint stage of the college entrance examination, the intensity is still a bit too much for the brother and sister.

"Shen Yixiao, do you know which teacher is giving us extra lessons?"

After meeting, Shen Yanran asked with a bitter face.

"do not know."

"Our dad didn't say anything!"

Shen Yixiao shook his head, then lowered his voice and said, "Do you remember the message I sent you this morning?"

"Shen Yixiao, you are so boring."

"Isn't it just that you have a scent?"

"That doesn't prove that our dad is in love. Besides, where would he have the time?"

Shen Yanran curled her lips in disapproval.

"What if our dad's girlfriend is also in school?"

"Then there's time!"

"Uh?"

Hearing this, Shen Yanran finally became interested: "You said our dad's girlfriend is also in school?"

"Who?"

"Could it be a teacher?"

Shen Yixiao raised the corner of his mouth proudly: "I have found evidence."

"A bottle of Red Bull, if you want to know."

"whispering sound!"

"Dream!"

Shen Yanran rolled her eyes and quickened her pace.

"Or Sprite will do."

Shen Yixiao chased after him and said.

"Then you say it first."

"I have to judge whether what you said is true!"

Of course Shen Yanran was also very curious, because her father's love life was a big deal.

It’s just that she didn’t quite believe Shen Yixiao.

"alright."

"After all, this matter is closely related to both of us."

Shen Yixiao looked around, making sure he was keeping a safe distance from the surrounding students. Then he lowered his voice and said, "I suspect our dad is in a relationship with Teacher Chen!"

"what?"

"Teacher Chen??"

Shen Yanran's beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and her collagen-filled face was full of disbelief: "Shen Yixiao, stop talking nonsense, how is this possible!"

"Listen to this detective's analysis!"

"Today I smelled a fragrance on our dad, and now I smell the same scent on Teacher Chen."

"If this is a coincidence, remember I told you there were men's slippers at the door of Teacher Chen's bathroom."

"Those slippers are about the same size as the ones I wear, which means the man is probably not short, and is probably about the same height as me."

"Also, do you think Mr. Chen is giving us extra lessons just to make money?"

"Now is the critical stage of the college entrance examination sprint. If Teacher Chen really wants to make more money by opening a class, he will definitely open a large class with more than ten people!"

"And now she's giving us two special treatment. Is that reasonable?"

"Also, you might have forgotten, but my dad and Teacher Chen seemed to be high school classmates."

"To sum up, the possibility that the two are secretly in love is still very high!"

"If nothing unexpected happens, our dad stayed at Teacher Chen's house last night!"

After a wave of analysis, Shen Yixiao shrugged complacently: "Well, a bottle of Sprite is worth it!"

Shen Yanran did not refute. In fact, her father had taken her and Shen Yixiao to Chen Xiangyu's house to study English.

Shen Yanran was very surprised, because in-service teachers are very cautious about giving extra lessons, and usually they don't use the afternoon time after school.

After listening to Shen Yixiao's explanation, everything made sense.

The reason why Chen Xiangyu cares so much about the siblings is entirely for her father's sake.

Of course, she may also want to have a good relationship with the siblings. After all, if she and her father really get together, she will become their stepmother.

"If it's really like what you said, it's not bad. I think Teacher Chen is a good person."

Shen Yanran had a very good impression of Chen Xiangyu. She was intelligent, generous, and pretty, and not as old-fashioned as their class teacher Zhang Xia.

"I also think Teacher Chen is pretty good, but I'm a little surprised. How did she fall for our dad? In comparison, our dad's conditions are much worse than Teacher Chen's, and he has two of us as a burden..."

"He's a burden!"

Shen Yanran corrected.

"Wow, you are quite self-aware!" Shen Yixiao retorted.

"Get lost, it's you!"

"I'm much less of a worry than you!"

Shen Yanran snorted softly: "Every time our dad is called to school, it's because of you!"

The brother and sister started to quarrel while chatting.

The two of them have long been accustomed to this, and it would not be their style not to have a few arguments.

After entering the office building, the two quickly reached the third floor where the vice-president's office was located.

"Hey, isn't that Xu Loquat?"

Still some distance from the vice-principal's office, the siblings spotted Mushroom-haired Xu Loquat lingering near the office door. She was still wearing her baggy school uniform and a pair of yellowed white sneakers.

She raised her hand twice outside the vice-principal's office, but she didn't have the courage to knock on the door.

Although Shen Qiushan said that the place for supplementary lessons was the vice-principal's office, Xu Loquat felt a little timid after arriving there.

Children who have not been protected by their parents since childhood tend to develop two extreme personalities.

One is introverted and inferior, the other is lawless.

Xu Loquat obviously belongs to the former.

Shen Yanran and Xu Piwa knew each other, but they were not very familiar with each other.

The two have a common friend, Zhao Dongmei.

So when we meet occasionally, we will chat for a few minutes.

"Loquat, what are you doing?"

Walking to the office door, Shen Yanran asked curiously.

"Uh, you guys are here."

Seeing the two of them, Xu Loquat felt a sense of relief.

With the three of them together, she wouldn't have to face the aloof Vice Principal Lin alone.

"You knew we were coming?"

Shen Yanran looked suspicious.

"Uncle Shen asked me to explain the problem to you!"

Xu Loquat thought Shen Qiushan had already told the two of them.

"what?"

"So you are our teacher!"

Shen Yanran and Shen Yixiao were both a little surprised. They thought it was the teacher who was giving them extra lessons.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Xu Pipa, who is also a student.

However, the two did not doubt Xu Loquat's strength at all.

She is the perennial runner-up in her grade and a promising candidate for admission to Peking University or Tsinghua University.

She scored 699 points in this mock exam.

Last year, the admission scores for physics majors at Tsinghua University and Peking University in Sanjiang Province were 690 and 692 respectively.

Therefore, Xu Pihua has a very good chance of being admitted to Peking University or Tsinghua University.

Just as the three were talking, the office door was suddenly opened.

It was Lin Xiamo who heard the sound outside the door and took the initiative to open the office door.

"Hello, Principal Lin."

Xu Loquat quickly greeted him respectfully.

What shocked her was that Shen Yanran and Shen Yixiao both called her "Second Aunt".

Lin Xiamo frowned slightly: "It's okay if there's no one here, but when there are people around, we still have to avoid suspicion!"

"I understand, Second Aunt!"

Shen Yanran responded with a smile, then affectionately took Lin Xiamo's arm and said, "Second Aunt, how come you don't look old at all? You still look like you're in your early 20s. All the single male teachers in our school are fascinated by you..."

Although Lin Xiamo was aloof, this kind of compliment was very effective for any woman. She pinched her niece's waist lightly and laughed, "Why are you just like your dad, so smooth-talking?"

"What I said is the truth!"

"Second Aunt, I can testify to this. Our coach's eyes go wide every time he sees you."

Shen Yixiao echoed from the side, saying that all the physical education students knew that physical education teacher Yang Wei had a crush on second aunt Lin Xiamo.

The three of them were talking and laughing, and Xu Loquat, who followed behind, closed the door silently. She envied this way and atmosphere of getting along with family members.

Because she never had it!
Yesterday at noon in the cafeteria, Shen Qiushan guessed her background.

Her name does come from Gui Youguang's "Xiang Ji Xuan Zhi".

The name was given by her father because her mother died shortly after she was born.

Therefore, "There is a loquat tree in the yard, which was planted by my wife in the year of her death" fits this background perfectly.

The following sentence, "Now she is tall and graceful like a canopy," expresses her father's expectation for her healthy growth.

Xu Pipa's father is a poet and a writer.

He was extremely talented when he was young, but since Xu Pihua's mother passed away unexpectedly, he has been devastated. Perhaps the shock was too great, and he went crazy later.

He is still being held in the Sanjiang City Second Mental Hospital.

Therefore, Xu Loquat grew up with his grandparents.

When her grandmother was alive, Xu Loquat lived a pretty good life. Although her family was quite poor, at least she had enough food and drink, and her grandmother was quite caring towards her.

However, when she was in the third year of junior high school, her grandmother also died of illness.

Xu Pihua's world suddenly collapsed.

Only she and her grandfather were left to depend on each other, but Xu Pihua's grandfather was not very reliable and was addicted to lottery and gambling.

When my grandmother was alive, there were some restrictions and someone could look after him.

After his grandmother passed away, Xu Pihua's grandfather completely let himself go. Whenever he made money, he would take it to the gambling table.

Xu Loquat also passively lived a life of hunger and fullness.

Grandpa only has food to eat when he wins money, but most of the time he is hungry!
Gamblers end up with nothing!
How can you win!
Xu Biwa knew that he could only rely on himself in the future.

So even if she received a scholarship of 2000 yuan, she was reluctant to spend it.

If she had enough money, she could apply to the university she wanted to attend.

Otherwise, she could only go to universities that offered her scholarships and free tuition.

But given her current grades, the university that offers her a scholarship and free tuition cannot be the top one.

Therefore, she naturally cherished this opportunity to make up for the lessons.

According to the agreement with Shen Qiushan, as long as the tutoring can continue until the college entrance examination, she will have an income of about 6000 yuan.

Only after saving enough tuition fees can she have the confidence to apply to her ideal university.

Children without anyone to hold an umbrella for them can only run forward on their own!
