Chapter 70: Opportunity
Qin Xiangnuan was sitting upright, just waiting for the arrival of her little teacher, Qin Xiangyang. The elementary school curriculum was not difficult for her; what she wanted now was for Qin Xiangyang to fall in love with studying, even if it meant revisiting the material, rather than focusing all his attention on the bakery.
Alright, Qin Xiangyang took all the books out of his backpack, and then taught his sister word by word. He was trying very hard to teach, but unfortunately, he had never attended preschool and no one had taught him, so it was quite challenging for him.
However, he was very serious about it, teaching his sister everything the teacher had mentioned, even if it was just rote memorization. He started with Pinyin. As he taught, Qin Xiangnuan followed along, giving Qin Xiangyang the thrill of acting as a teacher. Because he needed to teach his sister after returning home, Qin Xiangyang, despite starting school late and being somewhat slow, was a well-liked and well-behaved child by his teachers. Moreover, he was very honest; when it came to cleaning, he never slacked off and was seen by the teachers as a good student and by the students as a big brother figure.
He had always taken care of his sister as she grew up, so unconsciously, he treated those younger than him as little brothers and sisters, helping with cleaning, stepping over high edges, and whatever else he could assist with.
Qin Xiangnuan was very satisfied with Qin Xiangyang’s performance at school.
Schooling was not just for the sake of attending school, but also for better adapting to the world.
No one understood better than Qin Xiangnuan what the future would hold.
Actually, their generation was somewhat better. In the future, it would be the era of the opportunists.
The business of the shop was quite stable, earning nearly a thousand yuan a month, all saved in the bank. Their family was not short on money, especially after the economic reforms, which changed a lot – heaven in one moment and hell in the next.
