"So, have you beco less talkative now?"
"The teacher even criticized , saying that if I don’t perform well, there won’t be any rewards."
Ming Jinxin put down the magazine, "Did the teacher really say that?"
"Yes." Ning Youyu nodded seriously while looking at his mom.
"Could you repeat what the teacher said to ?" Ming Jinxin glanced at Ning Youguang, softening her voice.
"The teacher said, if you don’t follow the rules, you won’t get any fruit, and you’ll have to wait at the back to play gas, understood?" Ning Youyu mimicked the teacher’s tone and repeated the teacher’s words.
"Youyu, if the teacher spoke like that, then I don’t feel she was criticizing you, she was just setting rules for the whole class, not targeting you."
Ning Youyu wrinkled his little face, "But her words made feel unhappy and sad, mom, could you talk to her?"
Ming Jinxin felt a bit troubled but still patiently said, "But mom can’t communicate with her to change the rules just because you alone don’t accept them."
Ning Youyu pouted and continued eating cherries.
Ning Youguang tily chuckled, "These strawberries are so tasty, who bought them?"
"My mom bought them." Ning Youyu replied.
"Auntie must have spent quite a bit, right?"
"She spent a lot of money." Ning Youyu quickly answered.
These strawberries were bought at the supermarket by his mom, so he rembered.
"Wow, Xiaoyu knows a lot, doesn’t he?"
"Yes." Ning Youyu’s white and chubby bun face was full of seriousness. When he looked at people with his big, round eyes, he was especially cute.
"If I go to the supermarket and have no money, I wonder if they’d be willing to give the strawberries." Ning Youguang’s eyes held a smile, but she pouted pitifully as she sighed.
"Sister, that’s definitely not possible. Everything in the supermarket needs to be bought with money."
"I’m so sad, I have no money but still want strawberries from the supermarket."
Ming Jinxin pressed her lips into a smile.
Ning Youyu suddenly got a bit anxious. He threw the cherries aside, imitating the way his sister usually reasoned with him, went over to her side, and gave her a hug.
In a soft and sweet voice, he said, "Sister, that’s just how the supermarket rules are. If you don’t pay, there won’t be any strawberries. Do you want to buy strawberries? I have money, I’ll take you to buy them."
Ning Youguang was ward by her brother, extrely delighted.
On the side, Ming Jinxin also laughed, "Your sister wanted to tell you that the rules set by the teacher are like the ones set by the supermarket, everyone has to follow them. If sister wants strawberries, she has to buy them with money. If you want to eat sothing tasty at school earlier, you have to perform well, don’t you?"
Ning Youyu thought for a while and nodded, "I understand."
Afterwards, watching his son beco lively again,
Ming Jinxin sighed, "Youyou, you are always so observant, if you hadn’t ntioned it, I wouldn’t have realized that Youyu has indeed been quieter these past few days."
...
Later on.
Upon learning that Ning Youguang was going on a business trip to Boston in a few days, Ming Jinxin imdiately sent a ssage in the family group, asking Ning Yi and Ming Chao to co ho early so the family could go out for dinner in the evening.
The Ning family chose a private club not far from ho for dinner.
This club had an elegant environnt, great privacy, and excellent dishes.
Aside from being expensive, it had no other faults.
The Ning family frequented it often.
As dinner started, the family expressed congratulations and care over Ning Youguang representing the country to attend an international academic conference in the United States.
"This ti, following Professor Yu, you must present yourself well and show other international attendees your charm and deanor."
"By the way, I’ve just asked the designers to send the latest clothes and shoes’ photos. We’ll pick out a few sets tonight for you to take to the States." Ming Jinxin.
"Be careful on the road, things are complicated outside, try not to go out alone, Boston is not as safe as our country." Ming Chao.
"This conference brings together international psychology experts, perform well and win glory for the country." Ning Yi.
"Got it. I’ll take good care of myself. No need to worry." Ning Youguang.
"Sister, rember to bring a gift from the U.S." Ning Youyu.
"Sure."
"You’ll indeed need to prepare more money." Ming Chao put down his chopsticks and operated on his phone for a while.
