In an ordinary residential building in the capital city.
A couple is having a heated argunt:
"You damn pig, you knew full well that our son has the ’Xue YouSi’ proficiency test tonight. If he doesn’t do well, he’ll lose his chance to enroll in the class, yet you’re out there in the living room talking on the phone so loudly. Do you care about our son? This family? ?"
"Hey, be reasonable. I’m contacting clients to get more orders and earn more money for the family. Is that wrong? It’s your son too, spending a ton on tutoring classes, but isn’t he still a ss? If he gets eliminated, so be it. I doubt he’ll even graduate high school!"
"Is that even human talk, you damn pig? I quit my job and work hard to take care of this family just to fully support our son going to college, and you look down on our dear son like that?"
"It’s not looking down on him; it’s that fool not living up himself! Didn’t you say he had a test tonight? So why did I co ho to find him on his phone watching a live stream? He even tried to ask for money to give rewards. Damn it, I really want to beat him!"
"Isn’t it normal for him to relax a bit before the test?"
"A doting mother spoils a child. Just look at our useless son!"
"He’s your son too, Xiong, you damn pig!"
The couple was arguing so fiercely, the wife holding a spatula, and the husband wielding a laptop, seemingly about to start a fight.
Suddenly.
The study room door creaked open.
Their son, Xiong Zhi, who had just started sumr break from sophomore year, rubbed his eyes and ca out: "Dad, Mom, my Xue YouSi Great Chinese online exam results are out."
"Son, no pressure from Mom, just passing is fine."
"You useless one, I bet you won’t even score 60!"
Xiong Zhi helplessly tugged at his lips, opened the phone’s score-checking system: "98 points. Oh, lost 2 points due to typos."
"What?!" Xiong’s mother dropped her spatula with a clang onto the floor.
"Isn’t it a 150-point system?" Xiong’s father was stunned for a mont, sneering.
Xiong Zhi rolled his eyes: "Even if it were a 150-point system, I passed. But sorry, this ti it was a specialized Classical Chinese proficiency test, full marks 100. I can upgrade to the Rocket class now."
The living room fell silent for a mont, pin-drop silence ensued.
Xiong Zhi’s Chinese grades had always been at the bottom of his sophomore year.
That’s why Xiong’s mom spent over ten thousand yuan enrolling him in Xue YouSi.
For Xiong’s dad, whose annual salary is below thirty thousand, this tutoring fee is astronomical, hence his irritability whenever their child’s grades were ntioned.
Yet at this mont, the child’s grades have indeed improved. He felt a sour sensation in his nose, a bit of remorse in his heart, and with a trembling voice he mumbled: "Alright. I’ll work overti tonight to secure more orders, save up to enroll you in more tutoring classes."
Xiong’s mom gave her husband a glare: "Now you see how effective tutoring is?"
Suddenly, Xiong Zhi said: "Dad, Mom, I don’t need tutoring classes anymore. I found a gem of a strear. Tonight, it was her Classical Chinese explanation that almost got a perfect score on the test. I’ve decided to follow her and study well!"
Xiong’s dad and mom were dumbfounded: "..."
Until their son showed them Xi Rubao’s page on "Shark Live" and the ID [If you don’t work hard in senior three, you’ll regret in senior four], they were skeptical at first.
"So, Mom and Dad, please give so pocket money. I want to show so appreciation to Teacher Cao Yu."
Xiong’s dad and mom gritted their teeth: "Sure, sure, sure!" They imdiately transferred five hundred and twenty yuan without hesitation, letting their son reward a heart to Teacher Cao Yu!
My gosh, aren’t live streaming platforms all about indecent content and selling stuff? Is there actually soone on it teaching people to study? What a refreshing change!
Is this the Ancestor’s blessing over the Xiong family grave, that the naughty boy is being blessed by the Ancestor?
