Lu Xia didn't expect that He Xiaoman would ask about the competition again, and she was taken aback before replying: "...it seems to be promoted."
He Xiaoman frowned when she heard the words, "She didn't get that grade?"
Lu Xia was silent for two seconds, then said: "Actually, I told you last time that her grades are not too bad."
He Xiaoman had a vague impression, but she didn't take it seriously, she just said: "The next competition is coming soon? Take a good look at the information that your father's friend from the Cultural Association gave you."
Lu Xia lowered her eyes, "Well, I will, then I'll go back to my room first."
"Okay, let's go." He Xiaoman waved his hand.

Song Ning and Huo Jinyan have been busy with the decoration of the villa these two days. They usually leave early and return late. They are afraid that they will not be able to take care of their daughter, so they hire a part-time aunt to cook for Huo Yao at home.
On this day, Huo Yao just came home from school.
The aunt had already prepared the meal. Seeing her come back, she took off her apron and said, "Yaoyao, Auntie has some urgent matters at home and left first. By the way, I will collect a courier for you in the afternoon and put it in the storage in the closet."
As she spoke, she pointed to the cabinet, and left in a hurry without waiting for Huo Yao to say anything.
Huo Yao unhurriedly put down his bag, glanced at the locker, and didn't rush to open it at the first moment.
Turning back to look at the three dishes and one soup on the table, Huo Yao took out his mobile phone and called Brother Huo.
This guy has been home for dinner every day recently, and he usually arrives home by this time.
Soon, the phone was connected, and Huo Tingrui's voice came over first, "little sister, the second brother won't come back for dinner tonight, and he has something to go on a business trip for a few days."
Huo Yao heard some anxiety in Huo Tingrui's voice, frowned, but asked: "What happened?"
Huo Tingrui on the other end was stunned, as if he didn't expect his sister to ask such a question, his eyes were dim, and he said: "it's nothing serious, don't worry."
The staff at the airport were urging boarding, and Huo Tingrui hurriedly said: "Second brother is going to board the plane, hang up first, and contact later."
Huo Yao frowned, and didn't ask any more questions after all. After humming lightly, "If you need help, remember to tell me."
Huo Tingrui smiled when he heard the words, but didn't take it seriously, "OK."
Soon, he hung up the phone.
The airport notice that came over the phone just now seems to be for country M
Huo Yao thought for a while before putting down the phone.
Song Ning and Huo Jinyan came back earlier than usual today, and Huo Yao just sat down to eat when they opened the door and walked in.
While walking, they were still discussing the decoration issue, but when they were about to walk up to their daughter, both of them stopped talking.
Huo Yao looked at the two suspiciously, "You..."
Song Ning answered with a smile: "We've already had dinner."
Papa Huo: "Yes!"
Huo Yao: "..."
Song Ning threw the bag in his hand on a side cabinet, and scanned the hall, "Hey, your second brother hasn't come home today?"
That guy has been going home on time to accompany his sister for the past few days, and he is not used to not seeing anyone suddenly.
"He is on a business trip temporarily." Huo Yao said simply, but did not say what he heard on the phone that he might go abroad.
"I'm on a business trip again..." Song Ning murmured, there was not much surprise on his face, as if he had long been used to his business trips every now and then.
