418 Little Teacher

Hearing this, Yu Bing used the village’s food factory as an example. More than half of the workers in the factory had graduated from junior high school or above. “Important positions that don’t require hard labor all filled by knowledgeable people. Let me ask you, you’re all earning the same amount of money, so are you willing to earn money easily or work yourself to death?”

Xiao Lin immediately replied, “Of course we want to earn money easily!”

Yu Bing turned to look at Xiao Sheng again. Xiao Sheng smiled and said, “You mean that we have to take learning seriously and that we have to do our best so that we can seize the opportunities that might come and change our fate.”

Yu Bing nodded in satisfaction. “That’s a good summary! Studying will let you have more choice than others when facing opportunities. Don’t question the use of what you’ve learned. These things will send you to further places in the future. What you learn will become ways for you to open up this world’s opportunities and become a better version of yourself.”

Xiao Lin and Xiao Li couldn’t fully understand Yu Bing’s words, but when they experienced more things and saw more of the world, they would know why knowledge made them better versions of themselves.

Then, Yu Bing gave Xiao Lin an assignment. “In the future, you have to be a teacher for an hour every night. Teach Xiao Li everything you learned that day.”

In the eyes of primary school students, teachers were synonymous with wisdom. Moreover, he could let his sister learn what they had learned, so Xiao Lin happily accepted the mission.

Xiao Sheng had already begun to learn the knowledge of the third year of junior high.

When Yu Bing saw his progress, she looked up at Xiao Sheng and said, “You have to finish middle school knowledge by September. Otherwise, since there are too many subjects in high school, the time will be too tight.”

Xiao Sheng nodded. “I also plan to finish junior high school knowledge by next month.”

Yu Bing took out the test paper she had set out and let Xiao Sheng do it again. Looking at the test paper with almost full marks in all subjects, Yu Bing remained calm, but she secretly treated Xiao Sheng as a star student.

Although there were not many subjects to learn in junior high and the difficulty was much lower than that of high school, Xiao Sheng had not finished junior high back then. In addition, he had been out of class for so many years. However, he had mastered the junior high curriculum in just a few months. Thus, Yu Bing praised Xiao Sheng.

After Yu Bing completed her task and prepared to go home, Xiao Sheng sent her back to her house as usual.

Yu Bing recalled seeing Xiao Lin massage Xiao Li’s eyes before she left, so she asked about the surgery.

At the mention of this, Xiao Sheng was also a little annoyed. “There’s still no news. She’s only been pushed up one spot after so long.”

Yu Bing couldn’t help with this and could only ask about the current situation. “As long as we don’t give up, there will be hope!”

Since Yu Bing mentioned Xiao Sheng’s worries, she naturally couldn’t leave just like that. Hence, the two of them walked back and forth in the empty space between the two homes.

Xiao Sheng could see the worry in Yu Bing’s eyes, so he said, “Don’t worry about me. I’m fine. It’s been so many years. If it really doesn’t work out, I’ll earn money and support her for the rest of my life.”

After saying that, he thought about how Yu Bing would be a member of the Xiao family in the future, so it would be disrespectful for him to make such a decision directly. “Yu Bing, don’t worry. I’ll work hard to earn money. Even if I have to support Xiao Li, I won’t let you suffer or worry about money.”

Yu Bing was originally listening to Xiao Sheng’s plan seriously, but she didn’t expect the topic to suddenly change to her, so she was caught off guard.

The tips of her ears and cheeks flushed as she whispered shyly, “Who cares about your money? You can give your money to whoever you want.”

Xiao Sheng touched his nose and lowered his head to look at Yu Bing, who was avoiding eye contact out of bashfulness. He smiled and said, “You don’t want to interfere, but I’m begging you to interfere.”

Yu Bing rolled her eyes at Xiao Sheng coquettishly. As she pursed her lips, she couldn’t hide the smile on her face. “Xiao Sheng, you’re getting more and more glib-tongued!”

Xiao Sheng was stunned. This wasn’t a good thing, but for some reason, Yu Bing didn’t look angry.

After he thought for a while, he felt that this might be what Zhang Chao had said. Women always said one thing but meant another.

Seeing that Yu Bing wasn’t angry and was in a good mood, Xiao Sheng was slightly relieved. Thinking of his pitifully low score, he decided to learn from Zhang Chao in the future. Hence, he replied seriously, “I’m telling the truth. That’s what I think.”
