Chapter 755: Elevating Learning
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Li set down his backpack, shaking his head as he spoke, “No, I have many friends now, but… I feel like the teachers teach so fast. They’re much more interesting than the teachers at my old school, and I don’t feel sleepy in class anymore. But I feel like I can’t keep up. Mom, am I… am I not very smart?”
Upon hearing this, Gu Zi realized that the little one was troubled about his studies. Her face relaxed considerably as she gently replied, “This school emphasizes engaging classrooms, so the teachers often use various methods to deliver a lesson. This requires students to constantly improve their adaptability. My second child is not unintelligent. Trust me, you’re just not used to it yet.”
After a brief pause, she continued, “To help you adapt quickly, I have a suggestion. If you don’t understand something in class, don’t just discard it. Accumulated knowledge gaps can become quite frightening. Don’t panic if you don’t understand, you can discuss it with your classmates after class, or ask the teacher. Teachers won’t refuse a diligent and inquisitive student. If you still can’t understand, you can discuss it with me when you get home.”
Upon hearing this, Su Li’s face brightened. Seeing his older brother already engrossed in a book, he didn’t want to be left behind. He quickly pulled out his textbook and, tugging at his mother’s sleeve, pleaded, “Mom, I’ll ask the teacher and discuss with my classmates in the future. But for today, can you help me catch up?”
The second child was already quite handsome, and Gu Zi’s recent nurturing had improved his complexion and filled out his face, enhancing his attractiveness. How could Gu Zi resist such a charming plea from her second child?
However, Su Le, who was sitting nearby, pouted when she saw her brother pulling at their mother. She pushed her brother’s hand away and nestled herself into their mother’s embrace.
Su Li, eager to hear his mother’s lesson, paid no mind to his little sister. The little girl, feeling victorious, was quite pleased. She listened to her mother’s lesson as if it were a bedtime story. Halfway through Gu Zi’s explanation, the little girl fell sound asleep in her arms, her round little head looking particularly adorable.
Gu Zi affectionately touched the little girl’s nose, then turned to Su Li, “You start on the practice problems. I’ll put your sister to sleep on the couch and fetch a blanket for her. We don’t want her to catch a cold, my little darling.”
Su Li hung his head, wanting to ask, “Mom, am I not your little darling?” But then he thought about the problems he still had to solve. He decided to let his little sister have the upper hand today. Burying his head in his work, Su Li was determined to elevate his learning.
Meanwhile, Su Bing swiftly reviewed the knowledge points he needed to study. With a swift efficiency, he packed his school bag and ascended the stairs, intending to wash the clothes he and his younger brother had changed out of the night before. He harbored a dislike for washing machines, preferring the hands-on approach of washing by hand. He had long ago made an agreement with his mother that he would take care of his and his brother’s laundry. His aim was to help his mother as much as possible.
In the kitchen, Gu Zi had already begun preparing dinner. Simultaneously, she made some small snacks, planning to let the two brothers take them to school the next day. They could eat them at lunch, ensuring a more balanced nutrition.
Su Li, drawn by the aroma, entered the kitchen. His eyes sparkled as he watched the hot oil bubbling in the pot. Of course, his focus was on the chicken legs and chicken cutlets that were gradually turning golden and crispy in the hot oil.
Gu Zi, aware of the salivating Su Li, didn’t turn her head as she said, “Eating greasy food at night isn’t good, but I promised you guys, I’d make you big chicken legs tonight. Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner.”
Su Li obediently went to wash his hands. Su Bing, having just finished hanging the laundry, also washed his hands. The two brothers and Gu Zi, each carrying a few bowls and plates, served the meal in one go.
After Su Li sat down, he took a bite of his chicken leg, a large chunk of it. The heat made him open his mouth wide, huffing and puffing. But at the same time, the fragrant and crispy skin was broken by his teeth, revealing the tender meat inside. The delicious taste, coupled with the sweet juice that was released after chewing, was simply irresistible. Even though it was hot, Su Li didn’t stop chewing. He was too satisfied!
Gu Zi poured a cup of longan milk and handed it to Su Li, reminding him, “Eat slowly. If you like it, I’ll make it again next time. Just tell me what you want to eat, and I’ll satisfy you when I have time.”
Su Bing and Su Li nodded repeatedly. However, in reality, Su Bing would never specify any specific food because he loved whatever his mother cooked.
Su Li regretted inviting his classmates to eat his mother’s cooking. He had only thought about showing off at the moment, but wouldn’t that make his mother tired…
Gu Zi noticed that Su Li seemed troubled. After slowly swallowing the food in her mouth, she asked, “Su Li, why aren’t you eating anymore?”
