Wang Guangjie gripped the schedule tightly. His sister, his good brother, and his sister all had goals to strive for, but what about himself?
He thought he was quite smart, but little did he know that was just wishful thinking. If he could go to university, he could go further than his father in the future.
Thinking about it, he was also tempted, so he asked Liu Shihua for paper and pen and copied a schedule.
Although he is not sure if he can do it, how will he know if he doesn't try?
Seeing his actions, a smile flashed in Liu Shile's eyes. To be honest, the relationships between people in this era are actually very strong, especially among classmates, alumni, and fellow villagers.
Unlike later times, when you were constantly worried that someone would stab you in the back, people in this era were much more endearing, even though they were all just trying to survive.
Well, actually, describing people of this era as simple and straightforward would be a more accurate description.
Therefore, if possible, Liu Shile still hopes that the people around her can be stronger.
Grandma Wang didn't eat with them, leaving the time for the young people.
The group chatted and cooked at the same time, and they all did their own cooking. Of course, the ingredients that Liu Shile and her friends used this time were quite ordinary, nothing special, and they were all available in the market.
After a happy meal together, Wang Guangying and Wang Guangjie did not return to school today, having informed their teacher before leaving.
The next day, when Wang Guangjie and his sister woke up, they found no one around them. When they went out into the yard, they saw their good brothers and sisters practicing boxing, and they were immediately stunned.
Wang Guangjie, in particular, being a boy, greatly admired the martial arts in the stories. When he suddenly saw his good brother practicing boxing in the morning, his eyes lit up.
Wang Guangying was the same. She thought Lele's ability to throw shards and pebbles was already impressive, but she didn't expect that she was also practicing boxing. She couldn't believe it.
Her eyes were shining as she looked on, her pupils turning into little hearts, and all she could think was, "Wow, my sister is amazing!"
Liu Shihua and her siblings, along with Grandma Wang, tacitly kept their intention to learn to paint a secret from others, so they didn't paint this morning.
After the two of them finished their punches, Wang Guangying immediately ran up to Liu Shile, her eyes sparkling, and asked, "Lele, were you practicing martial arts just now?"
"Uh, it's a health-preserving exercise. My health isn't very good, so someone taught me a few moves when I went out last time. They said it can improve my health. Don't you see that my brother and I look much better than before?"
Liu Shile blinked. Without exaggeration or hiding anything, she didn't say that she was actually very good at fighting if she practiced well. However, the teacher didn't say whether she could teach others either.
In fact, according to Liu Shile's opinion, this could certainly be taught. She had heard before that many skills were lost because people were unwilling to pass them on to others.
However, since this is the teacher's material, if someone wants to learn it, she still has to ask the teacher's opinion and cannot make the decision on her own.
However, given Wang Guangying's good health, she doesn't actually need to practice this. Practicing the martial arts she learned in Nongshi would be a good alternative.
Wang Guangjie's lips twitched. "Your complexions are more than just much better than before. If I didn't see you changing every day, I would have thought you were all different people."
"It's not that exaggerated." Liu Shihua scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed. What his sister didn't say was that they ate very well too.
Ignoring what they were saying, Liu Shile pulled Wang Guangying aside and asked her if she wanted to learn some self-defense techniques. If she did, she could teach her a few tricks.
Since she had asked that question, how could Wang Guangying refuse? Actually, she had wanted to learn it, but she thought that these things shouldn't be passed on to just anyone, so she didn't dare to ask.
She thought Lele was a fairy, otherwise how could she be so amazing and kind?
Liu Shihua glanced at his younger sister with concern. He didn't know she would talk about this with Ying'er. If he had known, he would have stopped her.
But now that his sister had already said it, it was too late for him to stop her. Besides, he hadn't overlooked the gleam in his good brother's eyes; clearly, his good brother also wanted to learn.
He was still wondering if Elder Hua would be angry with his sister if he taught her the health-preserving boxing to others, when he saw that his sister was already teaching Sister Ying'er. Hmm, even his good brother was attracted to it.
Then he realized that his sister wasn't teaching him health-preserving boxing. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but he was also drawn to what his sister was teaching and unconsciously began to learn as well.
Grandma Wang looked at the children in the yard with a slightly hazy gaze, it was hard to tell whether she was looking at them or looking through them at someone else.
Liu Shile didn't hide the fact that she was practicing martial arts from Grandma Wang; otherwise, Grandma Wang wouldn't have been so sincere with them.
When the results came out, Liu Shiyi and Zhao Mingzhu, who had been full of confidence, felt completely devastated.
Because Liu Shile made such great progress, she was praised by all the teachers, making her the center of attention in the class.
Zhao Mingzhu was so angry that she dug her nails into her flesh without feeling it. She wanted to accuse Liu Shile of cheating, but she had no evidence, since Liu Shile had come in first place.
In the office, Teacher Qin and several other teachers stared wide-eyed at the student with a sweet smile on her face, somewhat incredulous.
What did they hear?
This little girl actually asked to study at home?
Although her results this time were indeed good, isn't she being a bit too big for her britches?
Their school had never had such a precedent before, so Teacher Qin really couldn't just agree to such a request.
When asked why she did this, Liu Shile sincerely explained her family situation and expressed her desire to become an apprentice at the pharmacy.
She couldn't hide this from anyone, since the county town was so small, and anyone could run into her at the pharmacy or something.
Rather than waiting for people to find out and question her character, she might as well be honest. That way, whether it works out or not, at least the teachers won't have a bad impression of her.
"Liu Shile, given your situation, the school can apply to waive your tuition fees. It's not easy to earn money for education, so I hope you will consider it carefully."
Teacher Qin thought this student was a promising student. Since such a promising student's family was in financial difficulty, she could talk to the school and have her tuition waived so that she could focus on her studies.
The other teachers nodded in agreement. In fact, some students even paid their tuition in installments.
When they heard that her name was Liu Shile, many teachers in the office thought of the name they had seen when grading papers before, as well as the student that Teacher Zhang often mentioned.
Seeing that Teacher Qin hadn't given up hope, Liu Shi was glad that she could try. With her photographic memory, she felt that the knowledge in the textbook wasn't actually that difficult to grasp.
In the past month or so, she has figured out the situation, so she seriously said that she has thought it through and that if she doesn’t understand something during her self-study, she will come to school every Monday to ask the teacher.
