"Yes!" The teacher looked at her with approving eyes. A high school freshman understanding to this extent was quite good, "How could I not trust a child who advocates for courtesy and righteousness?"
Ning Hui was taken aback, no teacher had ever spoken to her like this before. She felt touched and suddenly determined. She pursed her lips, "Teacher, I will work hard."
"Let's go," the teacher didn't say anything else, Ning Hui was a very clever child, a hint was all that was needed.
The siblings earnestly helped the teacher choose books, then together put them into the teacher's car. Ning Hui even said, "Teacher, we have a lot of books at home. I'll bring some to school later to share in the reading corner, if that's alright?"
"Of course!" The teacher was greatly appreciative.
Buoyed by the teacher's affirmation, Ning Hui was very happy and even more resolute in her determination to work hard.
When she got home, neither Mom nor Dad had returned.
