Life Is Not Easy For Children (3)

The other classes were all singing the alphabet. Only the third junior class was busy crying.

But it was not without its benefits.

【Ding Dong! Made little friend cry, bonus points +5】

【Points Added, Balance: -780】

Aaahhh, host, you’re awesome! Go, go, go, host! Keep it up! That’s it! You’ll always be the best!!!

The children were crying, so Teacher Yang came.

Teacher Yang also wanted to cry.

“Why are you crying? What’s the matter?” Teacher Yang’s head felt like it was going to explode.

After asking around, she realized that the source was Jiang Xiaoman.

Teacher Yang also found it strange.

Jiang Xiaoman was smart and sensible, and she never cried.

Sometimes when the other children cried, she would even help the teacher coax them. She was very sensible, so why did she suddenly cry this time?

Teacher Yang asked, “Xiaoman, what’s wrong? Did someone bully you?”

Jiang Xiaoman shook her head and cried. Although she was very embarrassed, Teacher Tang said that you must ask if you didn’t understand. If she didn’t say it, she would never be able to sing.

“Teacher, I can’t sing the alphabet song.”

When Jiang Xiaoman said this, Teacher Yang understood.

The child’s uncle once talked to her about her circumstances.

She came from the village and had never gone to school before. She was mostly self-taught. She only followed an old teacher at school and received enlightenment.

She had never come into contact with English and couldn’t speak it. It was normal.

“It’s okay, Xiaoman. The other kids also couldn’t do it at first. Teacher will teach you.”

Jiang Xiaoman asked with tears and dim eyes, “Really? Will the others laugh at me?”

Teacher Yang said, “No, how could that be? Xiaoman is so smart. You already got a lot of little red flowers since you came here. Some children only get one near the end of the semester.”

A little red flower was an award in the kindergarten.

Whoever behaved well or could answer questions in class would be rewarded with one.

Usually, one child would get them, then another different one would. After Jiang Xiaoman came, they were all basically hers.

Jiang Xiaoman burst into laughter and went to get a special lesson with Teacher Yang.

But Jiang Xiaoman had never seen the alphabet before, and it was challenging for her to learn it in a short time.

When school ended, she was still stuttering and couldn’t even recite the whole alphabet.

Jiang Xiaoman didn’t want to leave, saying that she had to finish her studies before going home.

Teacher Yang was shocked.

She had never seen such a diligent child.

But even though the child still wanted to learn, Teacher Yang wanted to get off work.

After thinking about it for a while, she gave Jiang Xiaoman a small MP3 player that she usually used to listen to songs.

“You can read along with this. Xiaoman is very smart. You’ll definitely be able to learn it quickly.”

Jiang Xiaoman fiddled with it and found that sound could come out from it. After she learned how to operate it, she breathed a sigh of relief.

“Thank you, Teacher Yang. I will return it to you as soon as possible.”

Only then was she willing to go home.

After Jiang Xiaoman got home, she kept listening to it as if she was possessed.

She didn’t believe that she couldn’t learn such a simple tune and alphabet!

When Jiang Xing came home, he saw her wearing earphones while her mouth babbled something. He didn’t know what she was saying, and he curiously pulled off her earphone to listen to it too.

Holy shit!

She actually started to learn English!

Jiang Xing was dumbfounded.

He was startled and said, “Xiaoman…You…Do we have a child prodigy in our family? Elementary school children aren’t even tested on English. How are you learning so far ahead?”

What learning so far ahead?

Jiang Xiaoman glared at him and snatched the earphones back, saying loudly, “What ‘not in the test for elementary school’? You already have to learn it in kindergarten! You don’t understand how hard children’s lives are nowadays!”
