Chapter 102: Shen Meng, You’re the Best
At dusk, after Lu Zhenping had washed up, he entered the room where several children were sprawled across the kang table doing their homework. Ming Fang was also meticulously teaching Shen Meng the key points they learned that day, occasionally letting her borrow the pencil to write some characters.
Shen Meng was fully cooperative, exemplifying the demeanor of a diligent student.
Having grasped the key points, she began knitting a sweater again, which Ming Liang found somewhat unsatisfactory.
"Mom, if you’re going to study, you should focus only on studying. You can’t read and knit at the same time; you should do one thing at a time."
Shen Meng glanced at him and said, "Mom has remembered all the characters Ming Fang just taught. I learn fast. You do your homework; I still have chores to do!"
"Mom, that’s not the right attitude for studying. If you forget later, it’ll be like you never learned it. How about I give you my homework and you try doing it?"
Shen Meng looked at Lu Mingliang, who was telling a blatant lie, and snorted coldly, "Don’t you know how smart your mom is? Trying to trick me into doing your homework, you little rascal. If you keep coming up with crooked ideas, be careful, I might tell your teacher."
Hearing this from his mom, Lu Mingliang immediately shrank back. He just didn’t want to do his homework, but this new student, his mom, was too hard to deceive.
Shen Meng didn’t stop her hands and stopped disturbing them from doing their homework. She glanced outside and noticed Lu Zhenping had come in at some point, holding a thick book, thoroughly engrossed in it. However, his occasional glances made Shen Meng uncomfortable.
What is he showing off for, thinking he’s so great because he can read???
