Chapter 77: Tutoring
Hearing what her mother said, Yiyi nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, you really can’t judge a person just by their appearance. Only after spending more time together do you know the true character of someone. Mo Ping is truly loyal and righteous."
"Yes, I really didn’t see it before."
Even Mo Xiaohong couldn’t help but feel a bit emotional.
As they talked, they arrived at a restaurant. Yiyi, familiar with the place, led her mother and them to order dishes. Before they were almost finished, she packed two stir-fried dishes and two boxes of rice for Mo Ping.
Seeing the hot food, Mo Ping smiled at Yiyi, "Thanks, little boss."
After spending so much time together, Yiyi is truly a nice young girl.
Yiyi felt a little embarrassed being called that, "Just call me Yiyi."
"I can’t do that; you are the boss of this store."
Beside them, Ding Yuejun burst out laughing and said to Yiyi, "Actually, Mo Ping isn’t wrong in calling you that; you are indeed the boss of this store." She was truly happy for her daughter, who at such a young age already had the capability to open her own store. The money from selling flowers was all earned by Yiyi. It could be said that their improved life was all thanks to Yiyi.
Seeing her mother so happy, Yiyi didn’t say more.
"Mom, since Mo Ping is here, let’s head back first."
Looking at the quiet, empty store, Ding Yuejun couldn’t help but sigh and said, "Alright, let’s head back first."
Watching Yiyi and her family leave, Mo Ping felt a bit touched. It was clear that Yiyi truly trusted him, leaving all the medicine pills in the store to him, so he couldn’t betray that trust.
On the other hand, after entrusting the shop to Mo Ping, Yiyi immersed herself in her studies, with only one year left, so she couldn’t slack off.
"Yiyi, take a break. From morning till now, your eyes haven’t left the textbook."
Seeing Yiyi so engrossed, Fei Erya couldn’t help but advise her, as too much reading could tire her eyes easily.
Hearing what Fei Erya said, Yiyi looked up at her and couldn’t help but sigh.
"Erya, you have a good foundation, so you don’t have to worry. I’m different; I didn’t build a strong foundation before, so I have to work hard during this year of senior three, or else there might be no hope for university."
Seeing Yiyi so troubled, Fei Erya couldn’t help but suggest, "How about I tutor you every day? Maybe it could have some effect." Yiyi’s grades have improved, but to get into a good university, she still needed to work hard.
Hearing this, Yiyi’s eyes lit up.
"Sure, sure."
But in the end, she seemed troubled again, "But when would we have time for tutoring every day? We have classes during the day, and at night you’re at school and I’m home, so we’re not together." Speaking of this, Yiyi’s eyes brightened, "Erya, why don’t you stay at my place every night? That way, we can do our homework together, and you can tutor me — wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds?"
"But..."
Fei Erya was a bit hesitant. If she were to stay at Yiyi’s place, it would certainly trouble them, "How about I tutor you on weekends?"
"Weekends should also have tutoring, but we cannot fall behind on weekdays either, or else when will my grades improve?"
Seeing Yiyi’s eager face, Fei Erya found it hard to refuse.
"Erya, please agree. I’m counting on you for my college entrance!"
Hearing this, Fei Erya couldn’t help but glance at Yiyi and say, "Getting into college is your own responsibility; I can’t be the one to carry it all. You still need to put in the effort yourself."
"Yes, yes, I will definitely work hard, but there are some things I don’t understand that I really need a little teacher like you for."
Fei Erya, hearing this, couldn’t help but smile and eventually agreed, although she had some other concerns, "But I’ve already been staying at school. Can I suddenly stop staying at school?"
"I’ll go talk to the head teacher."
Saying so, Yiyi did as she said and went directly to the teachers’ office at noon.
Yao Hailai frowned at Mo Yiyi and Fei Erya in front of him, "So Fei Erya will be staying at your place from now on at night?"
"Teacher Yao, Erya has good grades. I want her to tutor me at night because it’s still a bit difficult for me to get into a medical university with my current grades."
Hearing this, Yao Hailai looked a bit surprised and asked, "You want to get into a medical university?"
"Yes."
Yiyi nodded firmly.
Even though she knew many secret recipes, she didn’t really know how to pulse diagnose and treat people, so she needed to keep studying hard. Otherwise, she’d just be a pharmacist who could mix medicine.
Seeing Yiyi’s determination, Yao Hailai’s face was full of relief.
"It’s good that you have this determination. I agree to your request." While speaking, Yao Hailai looked at Fei Erya and said, "Erya, I know your grades are good, but you shouldn’t fall behind on your own grades while helping your classmates."
"Don’t worry, teacher, I will continue to study well."
Hearing Fei Erya’s reply, Yao Hailai nodded with reassurance and said, "Good, the teacher trusts you both. It makes me really happy to see you so motivated."
After Yiyi and Fei Erya left, Yao Hailai’s face was full of smiles. He liked motivated students the most. Since the start of this semester, he had a new impression of Mo Yiyi and even believed in her chances of getting into college.
"Erya, go and pack your things in the dorm now. After school in the afternoon, just move to my house."
Seeing Yiyi so excited, Fei Erya couldn’t help but smile, "Alright, alright, I’ll go now."
"I’ll go with you and help you pack."
After the two packed up, the afternoon classes were about to begin. They hurried to the classroom to focus on their studies, and after school, they went directly to the dormitory building to pack Fei Erya’s things and moved them to Yiyi’s house.
Ding Yuejun, seeing them with big bags and small bags, quickly came to help.
At lunch today, when her daughter came home to eat, she had already spoken about it. She was pleased to see her daughter working hard and ambitious, so she naturally welcomed Fei Erya’s arrival with open arms, "Erya, the room is already set up, go and see if there’s anything you need."
Fei Erya felt a bit embarrassed.
"Auntie, there’s no need to trouble yourself so much. As long as I have a bed to sleep on, it’s fine."
When she got to the room and saw how clean, tidy, and full of youthful vibe it was, Fei Erya felt a bit moved.
"Auntie, I’m really troubling you. You didn’t have to go through so much trouble to set it up."
"Oh, girls should live a refined life. In the past, it was not possible due to conditions, but now that we have this condition, we certainly need to decorate your rooms beautifully."
Hearing this, Fei Erya felt even more touched.
Actually, even at home, her room was not as good as the one Ding Yuejun had prepared for her. The arrangement showed Ding Yuejun’s care, something Fei Erya had never experienced before, "Auntie, thank you so much."
