"It’s what I’m supposed to do, it’s what I’m supposed to do." The homeroom teacher felt a bit embarrassed when Tianmiao thanked him like that and waved his hand, "We teachers are supposed to do this."
Tianmiao heard this and smiled again.
Teachers are supposed to do this...
Cui Wenyan truly has a good teacher.
Not all teachers can be called exemplary or embody both virtue and talent.
Cui Wenyan is lucky; she has met such a good teacher who always cares about her and never gives up on her. This support was crucial for her until Tianmiao arrived.
"Teacher, I want to give this to you. Although it’s not valuable, it’s a token of my appreciation. Thank you once again for your care for Wenyan." Tianmiao took out a small bracelet woven with red thread, with a tiny Copper Coin in the center, "This is something my shop sells, just for good luck. It would be perfect for your child to wear."
The homeroom teacher initially wanted to decline, but seeing that the red-thread bracelet wasn’t valuable and it was acceptable to take it, he accepted it. His child was just five years old, and the bracelet seemed to fit perfectly. His wife wasn’t in good health and had trouble conceiving, but finally, at thirty-five, she got pregnant with this child. This child is the treasure of the couple.
"Thank you for Cui Wenyan Auntie’s gift," the homeroom teacher expressed his gratitude.
"If there’s nothing else, shall I leave?" Tianmiao asked with a smile.
"Just wanted to ask about Cui Wenyan’s study methods. Since you’ve returned, her focus is on her studies, which is surely the biggest reason for her progress. Does she have any good study methods? If possible, could you share them? It would help other children learn as well." The homeroom teacher felt a bit embarrassed asking about it.
"Hard work, diligence, solving problems?" Tianmiao carefully responded. How could she tell the homeroom teacher the truth that an ’awakened’ Cui Wenyan was like someone with hacks enabled; anything she learned was like getting double the results with half the effort.
"Okay, thank you, Auntie Cui Wenyan." The homeroom teacher nodded, "If there’s nothing else, let’s all continue to supervise, and hopefully, Cui Wenyan will perform better and eventually get into a good university."
"Okay, thank you, homeroom teacher." Tianmiao stood up and bid farewell to the homeroom teacher.
Walking into the corridor, she saw Cui Wenyan already waiting there.
As soon as Cui Wenyan saw Tianmiao, she dashed over like a swallow returning to its nest, and Tianmiao embraced Wenyan around the shoulders, smiling at her. Then Wenyan played with Tianmiao’s arm as they both went down the stairs.
The homeroom teacher saw this scene from the window and smiled too. The current Cui Wenyan is completely different from before, becoming lively and full of vigor, which is truly wonderful.
After finishing his work, the homeroom teacher rode his electric bike home.
Returning home, he was greeted by his chubby little girl toddling over with her short legs.
In a sweet, childish voice, she shouted, "Daddy, you’re back, welcome home!"
"Ah, my little darling." The homeroom teacher happily picked up his daughter and went to sit on the sofa. He remembered the bracelet Tianmiao had given earlier and took it out to put on his little girl’s wrist.
His daughter seemed to really like the bracelet and refused to take it off after putting it on. No matter what her mother said, she wouldn’t take it off, even for sleep.
The next day, her mother took her out for a walk. Just after leaving the neighborhood, while jokingly holding her, the mother said, "Oh dear, our little darling is getting heavier, mom is barely able to hold you anymore. What should we do?"
