"Haha... Your little brother is so cute. Here, these three candies are a reward for you three siblings, one for each of you."

"Thank you, Teacher Su." Then she put the candy in her pocket.

"You're welcome. Go back to the classroom and attend the next class. Remember to tell your younger siblings that the teacher rewarded you." Su Tian patted Song Zhaonan's head.

"Okay, goodbye, Teacher Su." Watching Song Zhaonan skip away, Su Tian felt very happy.

She knew that Song Zhaonan's family was poor and that her parents favored boys over girls, which was why she asked her to help collect firewood to earn tuition fees.

She can only help one person at a time; she can't help too many people.

Su Tian turned around and went back to the classroom, tidied up the things on the podium, and prepared to teach the second lesson.

Time flies. The morning classes are finally over, and Su Tian doesn't need to come to the afternoon classes.

She returned to her office and called Ma Chunling to go back to the educated youth settlement together.

"Su Tian, ​​how was class today?"

"It's alright, how naughty can a first grader be?"

“My class is also good; the third-grade students are all very sensible.”

"Oh, right, Su Tian, ​​I heard from the principal that some people from higher up will be coming to inspect the school in a few days. I might need you to prepare a report for us then," Ma Chunling said as she walked.

"Huh? I've only been here a short time, and I already have to report on my work?" Su Tian was a little surprised.

"It's alright, just briefly talk about your usual teaching work and achievements."

"The principal said you're a sent-down youth from the city, highly educated, and you're very eloquent, so he wants you to do your best," Ma Chunling said with a smile, trying to comfort her.

"Okay, then I need to prepare properly. But, won't the inspection from above affect the students' classes?" Su Tian asked worriedly.

"It shouldn't be a problem. It's only a day, and it happens to be the weekend, so it won't interfere with the students' studies," Ma Chunling said.

"That's good." Su Tian breathed a sigh of relief.

The two chatted and before they knew it, they had arrived at the educated youth settlement.

As Su Tian entered the courtyard, she noticed that He Hua was acting as if she had seen a ghost, running away whenever she saw her.

It seems she already knows about the old widower's disappearance. Ha... she's scared now. The greatest torment is the one that keeps you up at night. Su Tian thought to herself.

Ignoring the people involved, Su Tian turned around and went back to her room to prepare lunch.
