Chapter 219 - 217 Elm Seed Rice
At the end of the month, another round of mock exams was due, and An Ping, who struggled with physics, pleaded with An Hao to take some time to help him review.
It was rare for him to be so keen on studying, and An Hao was pleased. She set up a table in the yard and began helping An Ping with his homework.
After reviewing several systematic Chapters, An Ping felt much more confident about his knowledge, so An Hao took the opportunity to pull out a short quiz from the workbook for An Ping to do.
Sure enough, this time An Ping got all the questions right.
"Sis, I did pretty well on this set of questions, didn’t I?" An Ping asked happily, having never passed a physics test during his three years in junior high.
"Very well indeed!" An Hao was also happy for him. "If you had known to study this diligently earlier, you wouldn’t be panicking now with exams around the corner."
"Don’t worry, Sis! I’ll definitely review hard during this time before the entrance exams and strive to get into high school!" An Ping assured An Hao, thumping his chest.
"Good. Knowledge can change your destiny. If you don’t want to spend your life facing the yellow earth and turning your back to the sky, then study hard," An Hao took the chance to give An Ping a little education.
An Ping found his sister’s words to be very true and nodded in agreement at once.
An Hao glanced at the time—it was already ten o’clock at night. She urged An Ping to go to bed, "You go to sleep. While there’s still some time, I’ll make a batch of pancakes so it won’t interfere with our study time tomorrow."
Hearing about the pancakes, An Ping suddenly didn’t feel like sleeping anymore: "Sis, can I help you? Do we have any jujubes at home? Adding some to the pancakes would make them taste quite good. Or we could make vegetable pancakes; eating plain ones can be a bit too dry and hard to swallow."
