The Lin family's little boy returns to being eight years old, taking his family to new heights.

This was Lin Xi's first time going to Teacher Su's office; before, the two had always talked in the corridor.

The main problem was that there were many people in the office, with teachers from several grades working together. When Su Youcheng didn't want to talk to the students, a bunch of people would listen in.

This time it was Su Youcai's request again.

He's been nagged by Lin Jing so much that his ears are practically calloused.

Knowing that Youcheng wanted to send the manuscript fee to the child, he repeatedly asked Lin Xi to come to his office to pick it up, so that he could get to know this young girl.

Lin Xi knocked lightly on the office door twice, and a voice came from inside, "Come in."

She pushed open the door and saw all the teachers in the office looking at her.

One of the men, who looked somewhat like Teacher Su, was even more exaggerated, staring at her intently.

What's wrong? Did I go to the wrong place?

"Hello teachers, I'm Lin Xi from the third grade. I'm looking for Teacher Su." Lin Xi introduced herself, pretending to be calm.

"Oh, Xiaoxi's here! Come on over, I'm here." Teacher Su was getting water in a corner.

Lin Xi walked over, and the man who looked a bit like Teacher Su smiled and said, "Hello, Xiao Xi, I'm the fifth-grade homeroom teacher, my name is Su Youcai."

Although Lin Xi was a little surprised that the teacher introduced himself to her, she politely replied, "Hello, teacher."

"I'm also Lin Jing's homeroom teacher. I often hear her talk about you. You're the one who usually tutors her, right?"

Lin Xi suddenly realized that she had almost forgotten that Lin Jing had told her before that her homeroom teacher was Teacher Su's brother.

"Teacher, we just do our homework together and discuss the questions we don't understand," Lin Xi said modestly.

"I've heard everything, you're the one who helps her with her problems. I wanted to ask you something..."

Before he could finish speaking, Su Youcheng pulled Lin Xi aside and interrupted, "Alright, alright, that's enough for now. I still have important things to say."

"Xiaoxi, all 11 essays you wrote a few days ago have been included in the publication. Here is 1100 yuan."

"You took them all?"

How could they possibly have taken them all?!

She had inquired with Liu Yu and learned that although this journal was not well-known, its review process was extremely strict.

She even suspected that Teacher Su might have taken out his own money to help her out.

Actually, this is a long story.

Su Youli read through Lin Xi's eleven essays over and over again, but couldn't decide which one was the best. After reading them all, she couldn't even bear to look at other people's writings.

Since we couldn't decide, we decided to keep them all; we couldn't just blindly eliminate them.

The manuscript will be printed in a few days, so I must submit it while there's still time. I hurriedly took Lin Xi's manuscript paper and went to find the leader.

The leaders could also see that these were all good articles, but as the editor-in-chief, they had more to consider and told Su Youli that they couldn't accept them all.

Su Youli, who had a fiery temper, asked directly, "Why? Can't you see that every single one of yours is better than everyone else's?"

Fortunately, the editor-in-chief wasn't petty and knew what kind of person she was, so he explained it to her properly.

This journal is not only used to broaden students' horizons, but also to encourage students to write and create, and to provide a platform for students to showcase themselves.

But we can't let just one student present. These eleven articles take up almost half the book. Even if we publish them separately, one article per issue would be enough to last for several months.

Su Youli argued that good manuscripts should not be buried, and this was created by a child in just over a week. What a talented child! She is excellent, so why shouldn't she be allowed to showcase her work?

The editor-in-chief was surprised by the child's creative speed, but thought it was a sudden burst of inspiration that she had used up all the inspiration she had accumulated over a long period of time. He thought she might not have the energy to create so intensively in the future, so he agreed to let Su Youli take her in.

When Su Youli returned, she didn't say much to her brother, only that Lin Xi's writing was good and she would accept it all.

Su Youcheng said the same thing to Lin Xi, but Lin Xi still didn't believe it and asked again and again.

Su Youcheng also realized what the child was thinking.

He was quite pleased that his student thought so highly of him, and said directly, "Don't worry, I really accepted it all. I didn't put any money into it myself. At your writing speed, I couldn't afford to, hahaha."

Luckily, I didn't tell her that the editor reviewing the manuscript was my sister, otherwise she would have wondered if I had helped her get the job through connections.

So until Lin Xi met Su Youli, she didn't know that the editor was her teacher's sister.

Hearing this, Lin Xi accepted the money with peace of mind, and then wrote an essay for Su Youcheng.

Su Youcheng...

Back in class, Su Xin asked nervously, "What did you say? Did they scold you?"

"No, it's a good thing."

What wonderful news! She now has 2100 yuan!

I wonder how her short story submission went; I hope there's a result soon.

Seeing Lin Xi's expression of wanting to laugh but not laughing, Su Xin had no idea that she was suppressing laughter and thought she was forcing a smile.

When Su Xin got home from school, he complained to his grandfather right there at the dinner table, “Grandpa, former principal, you have to discipline my dad. As a teacher, you can’t hold a grudge over a student’s small mistake. You have to focus on the big picture and let the small things go.”

Grandpa Su looked at his son, "What's wrong? Did you scold him? Hasn't he been behaving quite well lately?"

"I didn't say anything about him."

"Dad, I'm not trying to be mean, but you should treat Lin Xi better. She may be a bit strange, but she makes you look good," Su Xin said earnestly.

"Hey, you're trying to lecture me now? Do I need you to tell me? How have I treated her badly?"

"You even called her out to criticize her today, and she came back forcing a smile. You must have scolded her."

On the way home, Su Youcheng was wondering what was wrong with the child. He was pouting, looking all grumpy, and it turned out he was standing up for Lin Xi.

Su Youcheng was too lazy to explain to his stupid son.

Unexpectedly, Su Youcai rolled his eyes at him and said, "If you don't like her, let's switch shifts, and I'll teach her."

The old headmaster also asked, "Did you really scold her?"

Su Youcheng was speechless and explained the situation.

The chubby boy standing to the side blushed with embarrassment; this was truly a good thing...

Lin Xi ran all the way home, washed her face and hands as soon as she got home, finished the ritual, and then devoutly spread out her hands and put on her contact lenses.

After a refreshing sensation, the world became clearer, and she could even see the veins of the leaves in the distant leaves outside the window.

Xiao Yi explained, "This is made from a special medicinal herb that can improve eyesight and has only benefits for the body, with no drawbacks."

"Xiao Yi, I must be the person with the best eyesight in the world."

Xiao Yi was speechless. Now even eyesight has to be compared...

After dinner, Lin Xi prepared the certificate and 2100 yuan, and sat down at the table. "Dad, Grandpa, Grandma, please sit down."

The three of them exchanged glances. The last time this happened was when Xiaoxi gave them a brief lecture for their inexplicable actions.

Lin Dayuan gave him a questioning look, as if to say, "Did we do something wrong again?"

Lin Guiying and Lin Guojun shook their heads. No!
