While Mu Qingnian was scrubbing vigorously with her small hands, she also told a few jokes to amuse her brother. Just when the two were chatting happily, Mu Qingnian suddenly slapped her forehead with her hand. Only then did she remember that she was going to be Gu Min's "little teacher" and she hadn't told him yet!

She quickly said, "Brother, there's something I forgot to tell you. Mom and Dad have discussed it with me and we're going to let you go to school with me in the second half of the year. Before that, I can use my textbooks to help you catch up, okay? Moreover, I can also teach you some of the content you need to learn for school now. I've already prepared it in advance!"

Her inner thoughts: It’s not advance preparation, it’s all because of my experience as a teacher… I’m an elementary school teacher, am I afraid that I can’t teach a ten-year-old?

Mu Qingnian's mind was racing, and she didn't notice Gu Min's momentary surprise. When she came to her senses, she saw that Gu Min was looking straight at her with red eyes.

Mu Qingnian panicked all of a sudden, not caring about the foam on her hands, and quickly pulled his sleeve, asking carefully, "What's wrong, what's wrong, brother, did I say something wrong? Tell me, I'll change it, don't cry~"

Gu Min heard the girl's concern, and his already touched heart softened. In the end, he couldn't hold back a tear, and it flowed down his cheek. He lowered his head, not daring to look into her clear eyes...

He asked himself... He just met her on that nightmare night and brought her to the Public Security Bureau. Could a small accident in life lead him to such a happy path...

Not only do I have a place to settle down, but I also have the opportunity to study?

Looking at the person in front of him, who still had bubbles on her face but was looking at his sister anxiously, he suddenly had an urge to hug her...

But... he still restrained himself, calmed himself down, and said softly, "Niannian, I'm fine, but I didn't expect that I would still have the opportunity to study..."

Mu Qingnian breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and joked, "Brother, you are a child now, of course you have to experience the pain of learning~ Don't think about escaping!"

Gu Min was amused by her deliberate teasing, and the urge to cry was suppressed a little, but he still replied very seriously, "Niannian, I will study hard. I have only learned the basics by myself in the past seven years. Please don't look down on your brother for being stupid."

"How could that be, brother, come on! We will go to school together in the second half of the year!"

Gu Min smiled, tears still flowing in his eyes, "Yes! Let's go to school together!"

A small kitchen, two small people, and a promise of a small future...

--------------

After the two of them finished washing the dishes and came out of the kitchen, Mu Qingnian went straight back to her room, while Lin Wanru was still watching TV in the living room.

"Xiao Min, come and sit down." Lin Wanru called him and patted the sofa beside him. Gu Min walked over and sat down.

"Xiao Min, this is your home from now on. Don't be so reserved. Your uncle and I like you very much, not to mention Nian Nian. We hope that before you find your parents, you can truly regard this place as your home, okay?" Lin Wanru held Gu Min's hand and smiled gently.

Gu Min nodded heavily, "Yes, I will, Auntie." He looked up at Lin Wanru with a firm look in his eyes.

Lin Wanru smiled with relief. She could understand Gu Min's discomfort, and she also wanted to give the child more sense of security within her ability.

She touched his head and said, "Good boy. It's getting late, and you are still a child. You need to rest early so that you can grow taller."

Gu Min looked at his slightly thin figure due to the abuse, and felt a little embarrassed. He stood up and replied, "Okay, Auntie, you should also go to bed early. Good night."

Back in that warm room again, Gu Min lay on the bed, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

He knew that he could have the life he had now because of the kindness and enthusiasm of Mu Qingnian's family.

He secretly made up his mind to study hard and live up to the expectations of Uncle Mu and Aunt Lin.

At the same time, he also has to work hard to adapt to this new family and truly become one of it.

Also, I can't let my sister down...

------------

In the following days, Mu Qingnian would appear in Gu Min's room at 8 o'clock every morning, first bringing some first-grade textbooks and starting to teach from the simplest knowledge. On the first day, she was full of confidence that her knowledge reserve was more than enough to teach a child...

but......

Who could tell her what kind of genius or evildoer her brother was, that he had finished all the first-grade content in just one morning? He even finished all three sets of first-grade questions that she had prepared in half an hour, and got them all correct?

If the first grade content was too simple, then the second grade content took two days, and the third grade content took a week, a total of less than half a month, and he was able to catch up with the current school progress? He was even at the level of an excellent student... Isn't this a bit scary...

Gu Min answered the test paper seriously. When he finished, he looked up and saw Mu Qingnian's expression of doubt about life. He couldn't help but feel confused, "What's wrong? Nian Nian?"

Mu Qingnian held his forehead helplessly, "Brother, has anyone ever told you that you are really smart..."

Gu Min smiled bitterly, "No, it's just that I picked up some old reading materials when I was begging on the street before, and I learned a little from them. Besides, it was good enough that I didn't get scolded before, how could anyone praise me..."

Mu Qingnian just felt like slapping herself twice. Why did she bring up such a thing? It was like poking Gu Min in the heart. She quickly changed the subject and said, "Well, brother, let me see how you did on this set of papers."

Gu Min handed it to her with a smile, and added, "You see, Nian Nian is much smarter than me. She is only in the first grade, but she can already be my little teacher. She also knows the content of the second and third grades."

Mu Qingnian felt a little guilty. Her heart was a teacher in his 20s, how could he not know... She coughed twice, picked up the red pen, and then found that, as expected, her brother scored full marks on this set of papers...

She took out a small sticker and pasted it on Gu Min's exclusive notebook again, saying seriously, "Very good, classmate Gu, congratulations on getting full marks again. I reward you with a little red flower! Keep up the hard work!"

Gu Min found it a little funny, but still cooperated very well and said, "Thank you, teacher!"
