Upon hearing this, Su Xing and the other three girls all looked at the basket in Zhao Xinxin's hand.

Su Xing said, "We are just giving you a ride back, no need to be so polite."

Zhang Caifeng also said: "Yeah, why are you sending food over?"

Zhao Xinxin said a little embarrassedly: "They are all things from my home, just a little gift from me."

Cheng Xiuning asked curiously, "Really? What did you bring?"

Zhao Xinxin said: "There are roasted sweet potatoes, which were roasted by my grandfather. They are so sweet! There are also some fragrant pears and hawthorns, which were picked from our own fruit trees. They are very fresh, but they are not worth much. I hope you sisters don't mind."

After hearing what she said, the three girls prepared to accept it.

Cheng Xiuning said: "How could we dislike it? These are all our favorite foods."

Zhang Caifeng smiled and said, "Thank you, and thank your grandparents for us too."

"Thank you." Su Xing pushed open the courtyard door and said to Zhao Xinxin, "Come in and sit for a while. We'll empty the basket for you."

Zhao Xinxin originally wanted to send the things over and then leave. After hearing Su Xing's words, she thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay."

Su Xing took the bamboo basket from Zhao Xinxin.

Zhao Xinxin followed her three sisters into the yard and walked into the cave.

Su Xing and others found plastic bags and packed the roasted sweet potatoes and fruits that Zhao Xinxin brought.

They also found some snacks and offered them to Zhao Xinxin.

"Here are yogurt, chocolate, and potato chips. You're welcome."

Zhao Xinxin quickly waved her hands, "No, no, I don't want to eat..."

"Eat it, it's delicious."

Cheng Xiuning opened a box of chocolates and stuffed it into Zhao Xinxin's hand.

Zhao Xinxin blushed and felt very embarrassed.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Su Xing tried to find a topic to talk about, "You have classes tomorrow, right?"

"Yeah, tomorrow is Monday, and I have to go to school."

Next, they chatted about school for a while.

Su Xing and the other three girls also told Zhao Xinxin their names.

Zhao Xinxin nodded seriously and memorized each of their names carefully.

When she heard that they were all junior students at Kyoto University, the little girl's eyes sparkled with admiration and envy.

"Sisters, you all were able to get into Kyoto University, that's amazing!"

Although she is still an elementary school student, she also has aspirations for top universities such as Peking University and National Tsinghua University.

Zhang Caifeng smiled and said, "Study hard and you'll be able to get into Peking University in the future."

"Yes, yes." Cheng Xiuning said, "You can become our junior schoolmate or our alumnus in the future."

Zhao Xinxin's mood suddenly became a little depressed when she heard this. "I...I want to start working early. After I finish elementary school or junior high school, I will go to work and earn money."

Cheng Xiuning couldn't help but frown, "How old are you? You're already thinking about working to make money? You're not even an adult yet, which boss would hire you?"

Zhao Xinxin said: "In our village and the nearby villages, many people stop studying after junior high school, either to work or to go on blind dates..."

She has no idea about blind dates and marriage, but she wants to make money as soon as possible.

Zhang Caifeng said, "I see you have a talent for writing. You should be good at studying too, right?"

Zhao Xinxin nodded. "I'm the study committee member of our class! I got first place in the last exam!"

Zhang Caifeng said, "That's great. You still have to study hard."

Zhao Xinxin pursed her lips and didn't respond.

Her grandparents are old and in poor health.

My uncle's family doesn't live in the village, and my aunt gave birth to my cousin last year. They don't come back often, don't give my grandparents much money, and sometimes even ask them for money.

My aunt married far away and has several children, so she can't take care of my grandparents...

Su Xing said, "No matter what, you should study as hard as you can. If you drop out at a young age and work, it will not only be hard work, but you won't earn much money. You might barely be able to support yourself, and it will be difficult to support your grandparents. But if you get into a good university and study a good major, you will have more job opportunities in the future and will probably earn more money than if you enter the workforce early."

She tried to use simple and popular language to analyze the benefits of going to school to Zhao Xinxin.

In fact, the benefits of going to college are not just about having many job opportunities in the future. Its core value lies in the systematic shaping of thinking ability, the expansion of personal cognitive boundaries, and the accumulation of long-term personal connections and spiritual resources.

But it is still too profound to tell Zhao Xinxin now, and she may not be able to understand it thoroughly.

After hearing Su Xing's words, Zhao Xinxin showed a thoughtful look on her face, and then she felt a little conflicted.

Su Xing added, "If you can maintain excellent grades and get into a good university, the school, the county, and the city will all give you generous bonuses. You can also strive for scholarships when you get into university. Even if the university you get into is a little less prestigious, you can still get student loans to pay for your tuition. You can also work part-time while you're there, so you don't have to worry too much about money."

When Zhao Xinxin heard keywords like "bonus" and "scholarship", her eyes lit up again.

"Really? Then...how much bonus will you give if you get admitted to Kyoto University?"

Cheng Xiuning said: "Beijing University will give new students 50,000 yuan for admission."

Zhang Caifeng said, "The school, the county, and the city all give money. It varies from region to region, but it adds up to at least tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. I heard that in some places, the top scorer's bonus is even over a million."

It was by being admitted to the University of Tokyo that she received a lot of bonuses, which improved her family's situation, and her younger brothers and sisters no longer had to worry about their studies.

Su Xing smiled, "They are all right."

Zhao Xinxin's eyes were as bright as light bulbs, and her face was full of longing.

Su Xing and his two roommates looked at each other and laughed.

Zhao Xinxin didn't stay in their cave for too long. After chatting for a while, she said goodbye and left.

on Monday.

A busy day has begun again.

Su Xing, his classmates and teachers were busy at the construction site until evening.

After returning to the living base and having dinner, she and her two roommates went for a walk in the village to help digest the food.

As a result, they saw Zhao Xinxin lying on a stone bench and doing homework seriously in the small square in the center of the village.

The three girls came over.

"Zhao Xinxin?" Cheng Xiuning called her.

Zhao Xinxin looked up and saw Su Xing and the other three. She immediately laughed, "Sister, it's you."

Zhang Caifeng said, "Why are you doing your homework here again? It's almost dark."

Zhao Xinxin said, "I'll finish writing in a while and go back after I'm done."

Su Xing said, "How can your eyes bear it if you always do your homework here at this time? And it gets dark earlier every day. In a few days, there will be no light at this time, and you won't be able to see."

"It's okay," Zhao Xinxin said. "I bought candles and batteries wholesale in town. After a while, I'll use candles or flashlights to write at home."

Cheng Xiuning frowned and said, "Actually, doing homework for a while doesn't use much electricity. Your family isn't that energy-efficient, is it?"

Zhao Xinxin pursed her lips, and after a moment, she whispered, "My grandparents used to be very poor, and they are used to being frugal..."

Su Xing suggested, "How about this, you can come to our place in the evening to do your homework. If you have any questions, you can ask us."
