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

The big screen went black, and the Lin family and Teacher Yang hugged each other excitedly.

The director breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with satisfaction. First place was secured, and the ratings were good too. He's a genius!

The villagers of Lotus Town cheered loudly, and Lin Dayuan's boss waved his fist in front of the television.

The host forgot to announce the scores and excitedly handed the microphone to Lin Xi.

He didn't understand the director; why did they have to insert a foreigner into a perfectly good competition?

God knows, the moment he introduced Li Jieke, he was afraid that the contestants and the audience would revolt on the spot, and he was already prepared to suffer his first Waterloo in his career.

I felt indignant for the little girl, but at that moment, all my dissatisfaction and worries vanished.

The scales will eventually tip in favor of the victor!

Lin Xi took the microphone, smiling and looking calmly at the audience. "I just want to say, Teacher Yang, I did it. My family, I did it."

The television camera then thoughtfully switched to the Lin family and Teacher Yang in the audience, all of whom were in tears.

The director's voice came through the host's earpiece, "Get on with the normal procedure."

The excited host regained his composure and began announcing the scores and awarding trophies. Lin Xi's name appeared on the big screen, with two large golden characters below: Champion.

After receiving the trophy, the host handed the microphone back to Lin Xi, asking her to elaborate on her acceptance speech.

Lin Dayuan looked at his daughter, who was shining brightly under the spotlight, with a proud expression. He never dreamed that this day would come.

"I've done a lot of preparation for this competition. I used to think that the biggest gain would be the championship trophy, but at this moment I feel that the biggest gain is that I've memorized an entire English-Chinese dictionary."

The director and the contestants on stage were all shocked. Li Jieke's eyes widened. No wonder, no wonder he lost.

"The significance of the competition lies not only in the result, but also in all the effort put in during the process. Although my opponents were not the champions, they must have gained a lot of knowledge, so I am very grateful to the program team for organizing this competition."

The director was pleased to hear this and had just smiled when Lin Xi said, "I also thank the production team for their trust in finding a contestant whose native language is English to be my opponent."

Yes, she was a little bothered by this. Winning the championship was too difficult, so she had to give the director a little nudge. Anyway, the competition was over, so she wasn't afraid of being retaliated against.

Li Wanxin, who was behind her, burst out laughing. The young girl was quite outspoken.

Then came the director's death stare.

"Secondly, I would like to thank my family. They came to the scene today, which gave me the greatest confidence. I know that even if I am not the champion, they will be proud of me from beginning to end, as always."

Lin Guiying, sitting in the audience, kept wiping away tears, while Lin Guojun lowered his head and quietly wiped the corners of his eyes.

Lin Dayuan held back his tears, determined to keep his eyes wide open and remember his daughter's shining moments.

"Finally, I would like to thank my beloved teacher Yang again. Teacher Yang, I love you."

Ms. Yang, who was sitting in the audience, had tears welling up in her eyes. When she heard her student confess his feelings to her in front of everyone, she blushed again.

Why can't this child speak properly to her?

After thunderous applause, the host took the microphone and said there was one last surprise: the program team had prepared a prize of 5,000 yuan for the champion, 3,000 yuan for the runner-up, and 1,000 yuan for the third place.

Lin Xi, Li Jieke, and another boy stood in the middle of the stage.

At this moment, the director straightened his clothes and went on stage to distribute prize money to the contestants.

He walked over to Lin Xi and whispered a compliment, "Little girl, you did a good job."

Lin Xi thanked him, unaware that this strange old man was the one who had brought Li Jack.

As the program neared its end, after the director stepped off the stage, he asked the host to give the microphone to Lin Xi's family so they could say a few words.

"Perhaps everyone is curious about what kind of family raised such an outstanding child. Now, let's pass the microphone to Lin Xi's family."

As soon as the host finished speaking, the cameramen in the audience pointed their lenses directly at Lin Guiying and her group. The group immediately panicked and didn't know what to do with their hands.

But the microphone had already been passed over. After some pushing and shoving, Lin Guiying, the only member of the Lin family, bravely picked up the microphone.

She kept giving herself positive self-talk: "They're all just cabbages, they're all just cabbages. No one on stage is urging me on or showing disdain. Anyone holding this microphone would be nervous."

Finally, the old lady calmed down, cleared her throat and said, "I am very happy today, I have never been so happy in my life. It's not because my granddaughter won the championship or the prize money, but because her hard work has been rewarded."

You only saw her receiving the award on stage, but only I, an old woman, know how much she sacrificed. This child is always engrossed in big, thick books, never goes out to play after school, and stays in her room studying until midnight every day.

We come from farming backgrounds and don't really know how to raise children, but if she's ambitious, we can't hold her back. Whatever she wants to do, we'll just support her.

Finally, Grandma also wanted to say, "Xiaoxi, whether you're the champion or not, you're always the pride of the Lin family."

At this moment, everyone on and off the stage had tears in their eyes.

Teacher Yang wiped her eyes. Yes, regardless of whether she was the champion or not, Xiaoxi was her proudest student.

The time had come, and the host took the microphone, choking back tears as he delivered his closing remarks.

Within that hour, the show's ratings reached an unprecedented peak.

[Ding. Congratulations, host, for winning the English vocabulary contest! You are rewarded with one chance to win a prize.]

Xiao Yi's voice rang out just in time, and Lin Xi was so happy that her mouth almost stretched to her ears. This was the biggest gain!

The scene was crowded and chaotic, but she suppressed her excitement and decided to draw the prize when she got home that evening.

[Ding. The host's performance in this competition has made the villagers of Lotus Town realize the importance of learning and have begun to value education. A reward of 10,000 Love Coins is given.]

Lin Xi was stunned. Ten thousand already?

The villagers used to think that children could study if they wanted to, and not study if they didn't want to; it was fine as long as they were illiterate.

Therefore, most children who do not do well in school drop out after finishing junior high school, and some even stop studying before graduating from primary school. The highest level of education in the village is high school.

They didn't think there was anything wrong with it. If they didn't want to go to school, they could farm or work. They could live just as well without much education. There was no difference.

Now they've discovered that higher levels of education lead to a better life. Take Old Lin's granddaughter, for example. She's a good student, and by participating in a competition, she can earn half a year's salary for an average person and even appear on television.

In the past, the villagers would see impressive people on TV, but they were too far removed from their own lives. They felt that they could never reach that level in their lifetime and had no expectation that their children would become like them.

Now, in this remote town, in this poor village, in this dilapidated school, a golden phoenix has emerged.

They don't know what knowledge is like spiritual nourishment, but they do know that knowledge can make it easy for children to have enough to eat.

It turns out that knowledge really can change a person's destiny.

"Erni, didn't you want to buy that English cassette tape? Mom will give you the money in a bit, go buy it."

“Dad, the kid said yesterday that he wanted to buy that supplementary textbook. Why don’t you take him to the city to buy it tomorrow?”

"Dad, I'm not dropping out of school. I want to keep studying and then earn money to buy you a big house."

……

This scene was playing out in different locations at the same time.

Everyone had already left. The Lin family and Teacher Yang were discussing dinner. Lin Xigang, who had just received a prize, suggested treating everyone to hot pot. Teacher Yang refused, saying that she had eaten dinner at the Lin family's house last time, and this time it had to be her treat.

Lin Xi argued her case logically, but Teacher Yang refused to back down. In the end, Teacher Yang left with the Lin family, completely satisfied.
