The child nodded, "Yes, I won’t give up." He made up his mind to start learning from Grandpa as soon as he got back.
"And what about this child?"
"Xiao Bao’s mother, I want to become a teacher."
Yun Xiaoxiao looked at the girl, a smile appearing on her face.
"A teacher, what is that? She is like a diligent gardener, and the children are like flowers. The gardener takes care of the flowers, nurturing their growth."
"Teachers are people who impart knowledge to students. The responsibility of a teacher is great indeed, starting with educating. First, foster the person, then the talent. To set an example as a teacher, to resolve doubts and answer questions, this is the role of a teacher.
A teacher needs to know a lot. You must study hard in order to answer the students’ hundred thousand whys?"
"What are the hundred thousand whys?"
Yun Xiaoxiao saw that many children also wanted to know.
"For instance, why does it snow? Why is there thunder? Why do we get hungry if we don’t eat? How is our clothing made? There are so many questions, and if you study diligently, seeking the knowledge in your textbooks, you will understand why it snows, among other things."
To seek answers in a book?
In any case, that afternoon, Yun Xiaoxiao led them through highs and lows, and they learned many things they previously didn’t know, diminishing their confusion substantially.
Yun Xiaoxiao wasn’t aware, but during that lesson, she truly taught these children that when doing something, one needs to be serious and focused.
Indeed, this class produced quite a few notable individuals.
"Mom, you know so much." Xiao Bao felt especially proud. His mom was incredibly talented and knew so much, and his classmates were all quite envious of him.
"Then, Xiao Bao, when you go home, you must read diligently, because if your classmates ask you questions and you don’t know the answers, they might say, ’Your mother is a college graduate; how come you don’t know these things?’"
Xiao Bao’s eyes widened. The thought of his classmates asking him such questions and not being able to respond frightened him.
"Mom, buy me books. I’ll read them as soon as I get home, right when I get back."
He couldn’t let the other children look down on him.
Read books, go home and read.
This was his own demand to read books.
Sometimes, getting a child to read books really requires some strategies.
And now, they had found one such strategy.
Da Bao, on the other hand, didn’t need to be urged; he loved reading books.
Yun Xiaoxiao had also bought him quite a few extracurricular books and some on general knowledge.
As soon as Da Bao joined them, Xiao Bao started chattering about all the things his mom taught in class that day.
As the brothers talked, Yun Xiaoxiao didn’t interrupt. Watching the two adorable children made her heart heavy.
If it came to a divorce, she couldn’t take the children with her.
Da Bao looked at his mom, waiting to hear what she would say.
"Da Bao, there’s a classmate of Mom who got divorced. He’s a male classmate, and he wants the child. But his ex-wife wants the child too. If you were that child, would you want to stay with Mom or Dad?"
Stay with Mom or Dad?
This question was suddenly thrown at Da Bao, leaving him bewildered.
"Da Bao, would you rather stay with Dad or Mom?"
Da Bao corrected her, "Mom, it’s your classmate who’s getting divorced, not you and Dad?"
Xiao Bao blinked, not understanding the conversation between his mom and brother.
"It’s just a hypothetical situation."
