Ch.33 Your Teacher or Your Mother? (1)

Ji Xuan’s bowl was given to Xiao Yu by Xiao Ruoguang. He didn’t feel angry, he just watched his son that was eagerly drinking the soup as he asked, “Is it delicious?”

Xiao Ruoguang nodded while drinking, “Delicious, delicious, It’s very delicious!”

Ji Xuan felt like his heart was poked by a needle as he looked at him. He touched Xiao Ruoguang’s head and said fatherly: “Drink slowly, drink slowly.”

Xiao Yu laughed at him: “You’re not that one who’s starving!”

Ji Xuan: “……just drink your soup.”

Xiao Yu turned around to drink her bowl of soup. Ji Xuan was almost accustomed to being verbally attacked by Xiao Yu. He looked at Xiao Yu and said, “Did you two not eat in the morning? You’re starving our kid.”

Kong Yuqing immediately said, “That’s right, he’s starving. Did you two even eat anything since last night?”

Xiao Yu said as she drank the soup, “We did eat but we just had a light meal.”

Ji Xuan asked: “What does a light meal mean?”

Xiao Yu thought for a while and said, “We had soy milk and steamed buns for a month, that’s probably considered as a light meal!”

Ji Xuan looked back at Xiao Ruoguang again, lowered his voice and asked, “Xiaoguang, didn’t I give you my card? Why didn’t you buy something delicious with it?”

Xiao Ruoguang nodded and said, “I did! But the card couldn’t be used?”

Ji Xuan was taken aback: “Why can’t it be used?”

“The grandpa who sells soy milk said that they don’t accept credit cards there!” Xiao Ruoguang replied confidently.

Ji Xuan: “……”

Xiao Yu immediately smiled and said, “My son is so smart!”

Xiao Yu blushed and lowered his head: “Thank you mom!”

Ji Xuan: “!!!” What? What just happened? Did she just earn some brownie points from Xiao Ruoguang?

Kong Yuqing: “!!!” What did that have to do with being smart?

Ji Yu immediately rushed over and said, “Mom, mom, am I smart?

Xiao Yu said with a stern face: “Xiaoguang bought soy milk and learned that he couldn’t use the credit card there from the grandpa. What did you do?” With that, she turned around and took a sip of the soup. It was really delicious! She could drink two more bowls.

Ji Yu tilted her head and gave it some thought, a long time later, she said, “I……I hold deep respect for Teacher Yi. Am I a good student?”

Xiao Yu said: “This is what you’ve always been doing, and it is also what you should do. I can’t praise you for that.”

Ji Yu frowned: “However, if other kids respect their teachers, they will be praised by their mothers!

Ji Xuan also said: “How can you say that, it is something she should do, but this behavior should be encouraged.”

Kong Yuqing also continued: “That’s right, if you say it like this, the young mistress will not be motivated to do so, she won’t be praised anyway, so she’ll just not respect the teachers.”

Xiao Ruoguang blinked and looked at them strangely as he said, “But, my mother said that it is something that a person should do, and she didn’t say that you won’t get scolded if you disrespect a teacher! For example, you’ll get a beating!”

Ji Yu: “!!!” A beating!!!

Ji Xuan: “……” It makes sense.

Kong Yuqing: “……” I haven’t thought about it that way.

Xiao Yu also looked at Ji Yu with a smile and said, “Do you have any other things that can earn my praise?”

Ji Xuan: “……” She didn’t even refute her.

Ji Yu was shocked, but when Xiao Yu asked, she sunk back into her thoughts just so she could  get her mother to praise her cleverness.

Ji Yu couldn’t think of any, and asked, “Mom, what should I do to be a smart kid?”

Xiao Yu flashed a very kind smile and said: “You can write an essay! Titled <>

Ji Yu stared wide and said: “My teacher didn’t assign this homework to me!”

Xiao Yu gave off a strange expression and said: “Of course, the others are still learning pinyin, they don’t even know how to read yet, not only do you know how to write, but you can also write, my God! What a clever child?”

Ji Yu nodded approvingly and said, “Really? Am I smarter than my brother?”

Xiao Yu smiled and nodded: “Well, just write about how excited you’ll feel later when you’re having dinner with me tonight, and let Grandma Kong check it out later!”
