From then on, in Jin City’s Zhang family social circle, more and more people knew about the excellent medical skills of Ning the Little Doctor from Dr. Xia’s family.
Ning the Little Doctor never wasted words when diagnosing, yet her prescriptions and acupuncture were exceedingly precise. Any patient who consulted her achieved exactly the results she promised.
It’s truly miraculous!
If someone genuinely sought her for treatment, she would treat them diligently.
For those who came with doubts just to see something novel.
Sorry, Ning the Little Doctor only needed one glance at you, and you could never get another appointment with her.
She’s just a middle school student after all, very busy!
Not everyone is lucky enough to meet her.
"Our school has always adopted this teaching method. During the last parent-teacher meeting, I also told the parents that you should reduce your extracurricular activities so you can focus on your studies. Didn’t your families adjust this for you?"
Mr. Ye, the homeroom teacher for Class 1 of the first year of junior high, was a stern-looking middle-aged male teacher. He was usually very serious with the students and keen on improving their grades.
This was why Ning Youguang chose to talk to him alone instead of bringing Shi Wangyue with her.
"It has been adjusted." Actually, it hadn’t.
"How come you can’t finish your homework if it’s been adjusted?"
"Shi Wangyue and I have bigger goals in mind, not just getting into a good high school, so we can’t spend more time on homework that we already know how to do."
The ten-year-old girl barged single-handedly into the homeroom teacher’s office to request not having to do homework.
This rare scene in a century made the teachers nearby Mr. Ye stop their work and watch the conversation with keen interest.
"What bigger goals? At your age, only after getting into a good high school can you talk about bigger goals. Don’t think that just because your grades are a bit good, you can relax. Pride leads to setbacks, humility brings progress." Mr. Ye felt his authority being challenged, and his tone turned stern.
"Teacher, you are not us, you wouldn’t understand." You Guang expressed seriously, "Teacher, can we do less homework?"
"..."
The little girl, usually gentle-looking, was unexpectedly so persistent. Mr. Ye was momentarily at a loss.
After a while, he said, somewhat unhappily, "You can do less homework, can you and Shi Wangyue guarantee to score first in the grade every exam? If you can, then you can do less homework."
"Teacher, sorry, I can assure you that Shi Wangyue and I won’t neglect our studies, but we can’t guarantee to be first in the grade every time, after all, life is unpredictable."
With these words, a young male teacher nearby burst out laughing.
Ning Youguang didn’t feel embarrassed, instead, she turned to the young male teacher who laughed and gave a brilliant smile.
"If you can’t be first every time, it means you still need to work hard. Go back and focus on your studies sincerely, don’t think about taking shortcuts, that’s not a good character trait."
You Guang had already noticed Mr. Ye was a bit old-fashioned, but didn’t expect him to be so stubborn and inflexible.
So she continued, "Mr. Ye, if that’s the case, then maybe Shi Wangyue and I aren’t suited to stay in this school."
This was a threat, definitely a threat!
"Are you going to the principal then?".
"Teacher, don’t get upset, I’m not going to the principal, this is a small matter, I can handle it myself."
"..."
Mr. Ye used to think Ning Youguang was a well-behaved student, but today he realized he was mistaken, confusing a little cat for a rabbit.
He deeply looked at the little girl in front of him for a while, before speaking slowly, "Alright, I understand your and Shi Wangyue’s requests, I will report it to the school."
"Thank you then, teacher."
After Mr. Ye reported Ning Youguang’s request to the school, they quickly had a plan for them.
Given Mr. Ye’s concern that without doing homework, Shi Wangyue and Ning Youguang might not study seriously, potentially lowering their performance and the class average, he felt they weren’t suitable for remaining in Class 1.
So Shi Wangyue and Ning Youguang needed to choose another class to attend.
At the time, all the first-year teachers in junior high were in a meeting. As soon as this idea was mentioned, the director of teaching from Third Middle School smiled and asked the other teachers present, "Is there any teacher willing to take in these two children who don’t want to do their homework?"
