Chapter 1966 Taking the College Entrance Examination 4

Lu Jiang was sitting nearby, listening attentively, and also felt very proud. "When I heard Anbang talk about this a month ago, I thought it wouldn't sell, and I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would worry about it. I didn't expect it to sell so well and help so many people. Our son has grown up, and it brings us as parents great honor and glory."

Feng Qingxue held the microphone in one hand and slapped Lu Jiang's arm with the other, saying unhappily: "Why didn't you tell me? Even if I can't sell a single copy, it's my son's work. I'm willing to buy it and keep it!"

Before Lu Jiang answered, Xi Bao heard it on the phone. Worried that his parents would quarrel, he quickly said, "Mom, I only found out that the material I wrote was published after I received the royalties. Don't be angry with Dad, or I will be angry with my godfather too. He didn't tell me a word!"

Zhao Anbang laughed loudly and slapped the table with his one arm.

"My dear son, I want to give you a surprise. Tell me, is it a surprise or not?"

"It's a surprise, but it's also a shock, okay?" Xi Bao was helpless. Thinking of the information she had compiled, she quickly said to the other end of the microphone: "Mom, I have something to ask of you."

Feng Qingxue hurriedly asked what it was about, and Xi Bao said seriously: "In fact, there are many types of questions in that set of materials that I borrowed from some review materials I have read, so the main credit should be to them. I would like to trouble mom and dad to find the teachers who compiled the materials and give them two-thirds of the royalties."

Feng Qingxue was stunned for a moment, then she praised her son profusely, "No wonder your father is so proud of you, son. Mom is very happy. My son did the right thing. This is what we should do. We cannot erase other people's intellectual property rights. Tell your godfather that the next time you publish, mark the source you borrowed from and the author on the published materials."

Xi Bao's eyes lit up, "I know, Mom, this is a good idea, I'll ask godfather to talk to him later."

"Okay, Mom and Dad will wait for the new publication to increase your sales. Give them two-thirds of the royalties, and what about the remaining one-third?"

After hearing her mother's question, Xi Bao said without hesitation: "I want to use the remaining portion to help children who have no money to go to school, especially little girls in mountain villages. My grandfather and I have visited many places in Huaihai City. Most of the boys do not go to school because of poverty. Many girls have good grades but have to drop out of school because they are born in a son-biased or poor family, even if the family can afford it."

At this point, Xi Bao paused and said softly, "I feel it's a pity, Mom. You said that learning can change one's destiny, but they don't even have the opportunity to learn. Grandpa said that if you are poor, you should take care of yourself, and if you are rich, you should help the world. This is the highest realm of being a human being. Although I am not rich yet, I think I can start from a young age."

Feng Qingxue was so excited that she didn't know what to say.

She set an example and taught her children to be kind. She thought it would take a long time to see her children's deeds, but she did not expect that her son had understood the truth of "If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world" at such a young age.

As parents, what reason do you have to oppose your children’s good deeds?

"Okay, Mom will listen to you. I'll let your dad and your godfather discuss the details of this matter, and we'll start with our parents. Your aunt sent me 50,000 Hong Kong dollars from Hong Kong, and I'll exchange it into RMB. I'll keep a few thousand yuan for the family, and I'll use the 50,000 yuan together with your royalties to set up a student aid program."
