If you don't understand something, he'll give you extra tutoring. Don't you think this teacher is so great?

Lin Xi strongly agreed with Jiang's mother's words. Her teacher was indeed very responsible. Although she often annoyed him, he always just smiled and let it go.

Lin Jianguo rode his bicycle and took them to their doorstep. Seeing that a crowd had already gathered at the entrance, he asked in confusion, "Mom, did anyone else know I was coming back today?"

“Your maternal grandparents, your aunt, Aunt Peach Blossom, and that kid Lin Lin all know. They were all clamoring to come see you.”

"Oh dear, it's just a minor injury, is it really necessary to make such a fuss?"

Upon seeing Lin Xi and the others return, a group of people swarmed around them, asking all at once, "Xiao Xi, are you all better? Why didn't you stay a few more days?"

"That's right, your aunt is right. Don't rush back to school. Wait until you're fully recovered before coming back. There's no need to rush these next couple of days."

Chen Xiuhua hugged Lin Xi and said with heartache, "That Lin Jinbao kid should be sentenced to a few more years. How could he be so cruel as to lay a hand on his own relative?"

Wang Meili took out a large brazier: "Come on, Xiaoxi, step over the brazier to get rid of bad luck, and also splash some water on yourself to wash away the bad luck and misfortune."

"Aunt, why do you still believe in this?"

Jiang's mother held Lin Xi's hand: "Your aunt is so thoughtful. I was going to do it too, but I've been busy with hospitalization and haven't had time. Hurry up, Lin Lin will be back soon. That boy misses you terribly."

Seeing that they were all smiling at her, Lin Xi knew they meant well. She lifted her clothes, took a leap, and crossed over.

"Okay, step over this fire pit, and our Xiaoxi will be healthy and go to a good university."

Lin Xi said helplessly, "Grandma, feudal superstition is no good. It's better to just step over a fire pit and everything will be solved. People do it every day, don't they? Even the charcoal sellers are too busy to keep up."

"It's better to believe it exists than not to believe it doesn't. Just do as your grandma says, and don't say so much."

After going through all the procedures, Lin Xi was covered in sweat before she finally sat down on a bench in the yard.

Big Black was also brought over. Lin Xi stroked its fur, and Big Black lay on the ground, wagging its tail and acting cute.

"Big Black, you need to lose some weight. Look how fat you've become. If you keep going like this, no dog will want you."

As if it understood, Big Black barked a few times.

Li Taohua walked over and said, "How could it not have any dogs? You don't know yet, do you? Dahei became a father, and the two puppies he had look just like Dahei when he was a puppy. This guy, if he gets anything good, he'll grab it and run out to take it to his little wife."

"Oh ho ho, our Dahei has learned to take care of the family now. Bring him back sometime so I can take a look, and I'll stew a big pot of pork bones for you guys to eat."

"Woof woof woof!" It's a promise, you can't go back on your word!

Jiang's mother and Wang Meili were busy preparing lunch in the kitchen. They stewed an old hen soup for Lin Xi, and Chen Xiuhua also kept saying that Lin Xi had lost weight, making it seem as if Jiang's mother was abusing her. She also cooked two dishes that Lin Xi usually liked.

Lin Lin came running back with her schoolbag on her back. When she saw Lin Xi return, she smiled shyly and said, "You're back, sis."

"Of course I have to come back. I'm afraid if I don't come back, no one will keep you in check."

Lin Lin retorted, "No way! I've been very well-behaved these past few days. My teacher even praised me. I haven't embarrassed you, the academic genius."

Poor Lin Lin has lived in his sister's shadow since he was a child, and to make matters worse, the schools he attends are the ones Lin Xi has been to.

When the teachers heard that Lin Xi's younger brother had also come to the school, they all vied for him. Lin Lin's teacher was a little old man in his fifties. He finally managed to break through the competition and get Lin Lin into their class.

Unexpectedly, Lin Lin, unlike his sister, was just as mischievous and naughty, causing chaos at school every day. The poor teacher, who was about to retire and was thinking of teaching one more good student so that all his years of teaching would not have been in vain, unfortunately encountered a troublemaker who made him so angry that his hair turned white.

After Lin Lin finished speaking, he bent down and looked at the injuries on Lin Xi's body. He clenched his fist and said, "That Lin Jinbao is worse than a pig or a dog. He did such a despicable thing. If I ever see him again, I will beat him up every time I see him."

"Alright, you're so young, stop being so violent all the time. Let your parents worry less about you. I'll take care of Lin Jinbao's matter. I won't let him off easily."

"Sister, I will grow up quickly. When that happens, if anyone bullies you, I will beat them back tenfold."

Lin Xi patted his fluffy little head: "Alright, go do your clothes and homework. I'll have time these next few days to supervise your studies properly."

Upon hearing this, Lin Lin wailed, "Ah~ why don't you go back to the hospital?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Even though I'm injured, I can still easily beat you up. Get out of here right now, or I'll make you regret it."

Seeing her sister get angry, Lin Lin grabbed her schoolbag and ran away in a flash: "Sis, get better soon. I feel uncomfortable all over if you don't hit me every day."

That brat deserves a beating. Who would just beg to be beaten? Did you beat him so badly he's gone mad?

"Come on, Xiaoxi, the chicken soup is ready. Have a bowl to tide you over, and the meal will be ready soon."

"Thank you, Auntie. Since you've all come today, does that mean the business is suspended?"

“We make a lot of money every day, so how could we bear to stop? I hired a little employee to keep an eye on things. That kid Damin is still clamoring to quit school and come with me to sell things, but I haven’t agreed yet.”

“Aunt, if I may say something, some people only have so much in their heads. No matter how much you force them, they won’t learn much. It’s better to follow their ideas; maybe they can achieve something great.”

“Sigh, my son is all grown up and has his own ideas now. Oh well, let him be. If he wants to learn, he can learn it. This job will be handed over to him. Ermin seems pretty good; he's got potential.”

"Everyone has their own strengths and advantages. We must be good at discovering them and then guiding them."

"Alright, Auntie knows. You should drink your soup. I know what's going on between them. You've only just recovered, so don't worry about it. After you've eaten, go and rest. I'll ask your mom to make you some good food and see how many pounds you can gain in the next few days."

"I don't want to get fat. These days, thinness is considered beautiful."

"Thin people look weak and frail; they'll run away in a strong wind. What's so great about them?"
