Zhou Tianxing silently lowered his head, picked at his fingers and said nothing.
Cheng Xiang remembered that in the original work, Zhou Tianxing finally joined the army, and gradually drifted away from his brother. After the disarmament, he lived in a foreign country and lived in poverty.
In the future world, knowledge can change destiny.
Cheng Xiang hoped that Zhou Tianxing could continue studying, but she had to ask for his opinion.
"Teacher Xin, can I discuss this with Tianxing?" Cheng Xiang asked politely.
Teacher Xin was a little surprised. During his time as a teacher, he had never seen a parent ask for their children's opinions.
The gentle woman in front of me is indeed very different.
"Okay, okay." Teacher Xin nodded.
Outside the office, Cheng Xiang looked at Zhou Tianxing with soft eyes: "Tianxing, what do you think?"
Zhou Tianxing bit his lip and said nothing. He knew that his grades were poor and continuing to study would be a waste of time, but when it came to dropping out, he felt vaguely reluctant.
"Do you still want to go to school?" Cheng Xiang asked in a low voice.
"My brother said that I can become a soldier in the future." Zhou Tianxing said softly.
"Did you know? Even if you are a soldier, a junior high school education will be more advantageous than an elementary school education." Cheng Xiang analyzed it for him sincerely.
"And you are only 13 years old and have not yet reached the age requirement for conscription. I think it is the best choice to use the time in between to improve your knowledge."
The family does not need him to earn money to support the family, and there is no shortage of his labor force. At such a young age, studying is the most suitable for him.
"But, my grades are not good and I can't get into junior high school." Zhou Tianxing understood what Cheng Xiang meant, but he also considered his own learning ability.
"To learn this thing, as long as you find the right learning method and work harder, you will improve quickly." Cheng Xiang could already see that Zhou Tianxing still wanted to continue learning.
Seeing Zhou Tianxing who was still hesitating, Cheng Xiang continued: "If you want to continue studying, I can help you with tutoring to ensure that you do not repeat a grade and can successfully enter junior high school. The premise is that you have to work hard yourself. Are you willing?"
Zhou Tianxing looked up at Cheng Xiang, a glimmer of light flashing in the young man's black and white eyes.
Cheng Xiang looked at him sincerely and nodded slightly at him. He suddenly felt that his heart suddenly became enlightened, and he nodded heavily and said, "I do."
"good"
Back in the office, Cheng Xiang said categorically to Teacher Xin: "Teacher, we will not repeat a grade or drop out of school. We will go to junior high school."
Teacher Xin blinked and looked at the two people with firm eyes, pushed up his glasses and said, "Well, it's okay, but if you don't do well in the final exam, the school will force you to repeat the grade."
"He will do well in the exam." Cheng Xiang looked at Zhou Tianxing and said firmly.
Zhou Tianxing also nodded solemnly to the teacher.
Teacher Xin smiled happily and said, "Okay, Tianxing, study hard, I believe in you."
"Thank you, teacher." Cheng Xiang led Zhou Tianxing out of the office.
Just after sending Tianxing into the classroom, Cheng Xiang turned around and saw a familiar figure.
"Xiao He? What are you doing here?" Cheng Xiang looked at Zhou He in front of him curiously.
"Sister-in-law, why are you here?" Zhou He was filled with doubts when he saw Cheng Xiang, "Did that kid Tian Xing make another mistake? Why didn't you call me over?"
"It's okay, it's been solved." Cheng Xiang smiled at him and said, "Are you here?"
"Oh, I came to see Teacher Xin for something. I'm leaving first." Zhou He raised his lips and smiled at Cheng Xiang, then strode to Teacher Xin's office.
Cheng Xiang looked at Teacher Xin who greeted Zhou He familiarly at the door of the office, and wondered: "Are they so familiar?"
Inside the office.
Zhou He threw a pack of Chinese medicine on Teacher Xin's desk: "Remember to take it on time. This is the folk remedy I found. It has a miraculous effect on stomach problems."
Teacher Xin picked up the medicine and shook his head and said, "I'm afraid my illness won't be that easy. Just take it one day at a time."
Zhou He frowned and said, "What are you talking nonsense about? You are the root of the disease left in the past. Just take good care of it and you will be fine."
Teacher Xin chuckled and shook his head without arguing with him: "By the way, Boss Zhou's wife is a very nice person."
Zhou He sat back on the chair, clasped the back of his head with his hands, crossed his long legs, looked at the roof and said, "Yes, he looks good, has a good figure, and his cooking is delicious."
Teacher Xin heard his superficial comment, rolled her eyes at him, and said slowly: "The important thing is good character. I think she is very good to the children. Tianxing and Xiaoyang have been in good spirits recently and have grown up." Stronger."
Zhou He rolled his eyes and thought for a moment and said, "It's true."
Teacher Xin was sitting aside grading homework, while Zhou He was tapping Erlang's legs on the stool in a daze.
When the bell rang, Teacher Xin picked up the textbook and said, "I'm going to class. You go to work quickly."
Zhou He stood up and stretched and said, "Okay, I'm leaving. Remember to take the medicine. I'll bring you some eggs in a few days."
When Teacher Xin was about to refuse, Zhou He waved his hand and strode out.
****
It was almost noon when he got home, and Cheng Xiang was thinking about making a study plan to help Tian Xing with his homework.
At this time, Chen Jiao opened the door and walked in. Today was the first time she went into the city to sell vegetables. Cheng Xiang was planning to go ask about the situation in the afternoon and mentioned about supplying vegetables to the cable factory, but he did not expect her to come back so early.
"Sister Jiao, is it so early today?" Cheng Xiang asked in surprise.
"Yes, I went early today. There were many regular customers, and they were all sold out in a short time." Chen Jiao said excitedly: "Many people liked the moxibustion stick you had before after trying it, and they wanted to buy more. I'll tell you They agreed to take them there next time and think about it, can you teach me how to do it?"
"Of course, I will tell you the detailed production steps in a minute. It's very simple." Cheng Xiang was happy for Chen Jiao. She was able to get rid of dependence so quickly and walk independently, which shows that Chen Jiao has strong independent ability and is very motivated. Heart.
After Cheng Xiang told Chen Jiao about the food delivery from the cable factory, he said to her: "In this case, you can just sell moxibustion sticks and wolfberry when you go to the city."
Chen Jiao said slightly worriedly: "But the vegetables from my vegetable garden are not enough to supply the cable factory."
"I see that many families in the village have vegetable gardens. You can buy their vegetables and then resell them to the cable factory. Although it is cheaper than setting up a stall directly in the city, the volume is large and the daily profit is very objective." Cheng wanted to analyze it for her.
Chen Jiao nodded frequently as she listened. She had always felt that apart from farming, she only served her parents-in-law and men. She never thought that she could also earn money to support her family.
These days, every time after buying groceries and looking at the money in her hand, she feels a surge of strength in her heart, making her particularly motivated.
