Ye Qingqing was quite surprised. Niu Niu's wording was a bit strange. She didn't use 'world' or 'city', but 'planet'. Could it be that this child is really going to go to outer space in the future?

"Niu Niu, why are you using the word 'planet'?"

“It’s a planet, and there are many more planets outside.” Niu Niu looked at Ye Qingqing in confusion, finding Aunt Qing’s question strange. What else could she use if not planets? Even an idiot would know that.

Niu Niu thought for a moment and decided that she should teach Ye Qingqing some basic interstellar knowledge. She ran to Ye Qingqing's room, came out with an interstellar map, spread it out in front of Ye Qingqing, pointed to the tiny Earth and said, "We live here. These are all planets. The outside world is very, very big."

The little girl's expressive ability wasn't very strong yet, and she couldn't clearly express her thoughts, but Ye Qingqing understood and was even more shocked.

Are all kids these days this amazing?

When she was four years old, she was still racking her brains to get more pocket money to buy candy. Compared to her, I feel so ashamed.

"Niu Niu is so amazing! Who taught you?"

"Grandpa."

Niu Niu pointed to Ye Xunmei. When they had nothing to do at home, she and Ye Xunmei would study star charts together, go to the garden to wait for flower buds to bloom, and use a camera to capture the moment of blooming. They would also watch cicadas molt and caterpillars emerge from their cocoons to become butterflies...

Ye Xunmei took pictures of all the plants in the Miao family garden. Niu Niu knew them all like the back of her hand and could name the species of any one of them. Many four-year-olds might not even be able to distinguish between a sycamore tree and a banyan tree.

Ye Xunmei puffed out her chest, looking smug, but her tone was very modest, "I have nothing to do at home, so I teach Niu Niu. Only with knowledge can one be spiritually independent!"

What he despised most was the old-fashioned scholar's advocacy that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent. He believed that these were the ideas of men who set the rules, deliberately using such ignorant thoughts to prevent women from progressing in order to better control them.

Knowledge is power; this is an eternal truth. Throughout history, which pioneer was not a wise man with profound knowledge? People who have never been to school may live happily, but they will always be passive in life, going with the flow and unable to change their own way of life.

Some people always use the story of the king and the beggar to numb themselves. The king is busy with affairs of state and works hard, and it is difficult for him to even realize his wish to go to the beach for vacation. But the beggar can leisurely enjoy sunbathing at the beach every day. Many people think that the king is not as good as the beggar. What is the point of working so hard?

But these people overlooked a fact: while the king is indeed less free than the beggar, and has far too many responsibilities and burdens, let's not forget that the sea and sunshine that the beggar enjoys are the king's territory, which he can reclaim at any time.

Ye Xunmei felt that rather than relying on other people's freedom, it was better to take control of one's own life and strive for what one wanted. This way, one would not panic or be afraid in the event of unexpected changes and would have more choices.

Not only men, but women too. Ye Xunmei reflected on his life and felt that he had made many mistakes and had not done his best in educating his children. So he made up his mind to teach Niu Niu properly. If Ye Qingqing was willing to let him teach Xiao Zhu, he would definitely do his best.

"Yes, not only should we be independent in spirit, but we should also be free in body. What kind of life is it to keep her locked up all day? Aunt Xiang, don't do something good but end up ruining Niu Niu."

Ye Qingqing rarely agreed with Ye Xunmei's words. Although this old scumbag was a bit of a scumbag, he was much more farsighted than Miao Tianxiang when it came to educating children.
