Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Liu Hua stepped over to Xia Wan and helped her out, saying, Xia Wan is very intelligent. She just didnt like studying before. Now she wants to put in the effort to learn. Ill give her extra lessons. Other cla.s.smates, you dont need to worry.
As Liu Hua began speaking, the others fell silent immediately.
The reason? Liu Huas grades were truly excellent.
She had never fallen out of the top three in the cla.s.s and almost always ranked first during major exams. She was a student highly favored by the cla.s.s teacher.
However, Liu Hua had an introverted personality, spending most of her time quietly reading, which is why she didnt hold any cla.s.s committee positions.
Currently, their cla.s.s monitor was Zhou Chen, and Song Zhi served as the art committee representative.
With Liu Hua speaking up, no one dared to trouble Xia Wan anymore. The reason was simple: they couldnt compete with Liu Huas academic performance.
Xia Wan smiled at Liu Hua and said, Thank you for speaking up on my behalf.
Liu Hua smiled shyly and then sat next to Xia Wan. She whispered, Wanwan, Ive been going up the mountain these days, hoping to find Lingzhi again. But I havent seen any so far. However, I did find lots of mushrooms, and they taste really good. And the fried mushrooms you taught me, theyre delicious. I brought a big box. Lets eat them together during lunch.
These past few days, my dad went fis.h.i.+ng in the river and caught several fat and delicious fish. He made a braised fish dish, and I definitely cant finish it alone. Lets share it.
Xia Wan consoled her, Lingzhi and ginseng are rare medicinal materials. Encountering them once is already fortunate. Dont rely solely on luck for your livelihood. The college entrance exams are approaching. You should focus your energy on studying. What you achieve through your own hard work is the most reliable.
Previously hopeful, Liu Hua absorbed Xia Wans words and started to reflect on herself.
Ever since she traded Lingzhi for money the last time, she had tasted the quick satisfaction of making money. She always wondered if she could find more valuable medicinal materials, so her father wouldnt have to work so hard. Yet, she forgot that such things were largely a matter of luck and shouldnt be forced.
Liu Huas gaze became determined. I understand, Wanwan. I will focus on studying.
After some more conversation, as the time approached for the next cla.s.s, Liu Hua returned to her seat.
The first cla.s.s was the homeroom teachers cla.s.s. Their homeroom teacher was a female teacher who taught the Chinese language, named Jiang Rong.
Typically, the first cla.s.s of the day was reserved for the homeroom teacher to give important announcements to the students.
Jiang Rong first took attendance, and once she confirmed all the students were present, she began speaking, You are now in your senior year. For the coming year, do not let other distractions divert your attention. Focus solely on your studies.
Though you might not fully appreciate my words, I still hope you give your all to avoid future regrets.
As Jiang Rong prepared to start todays lesson, Song Zhi unexpectedly raised her hand. Teacher, I find your words extremely reasonable. However, some students in our cla.s.s havent been studying diligently during the break. Instead, theyve been engaged in business activities. I believe this has skewed our priorities.
If everyone follows the example of this particular student, the overall atmosphere of our cla.s.s will undoubtedly be affected.
Jiang Rongs brows furrowed as she asked, Which student are you referring
Song Zhi pointed at Xia Wan and said, Teacher, its her. Xia Wan already had poor academic performance, and during the break, she started a clothing business. While she did make money, I think shes leading us in the wrong direction.
If everyone starts thinking that selling clothes is a more lucrative option than studying, our cla.s.ss academic performance will inevitably plummet.
As a homeroom teacher, the cla.s.ss academic performance was naturally an essential criterion for evaluation. So, upon hearing Song Zhis words, Jiang Rong took this matter seriously.
She looked at Xia Wan and asked, Xia Wan, is what Song Zhi said true?
Xia Wan stood up, her tone composed yet confident, Teacher, it is indeed true.
I did start a clothing business during the break. Song Zhis eyes gleamed with satisfaction..
