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

But when they arrived at the restaurant, Lin Guiying refused to go in no matter what.

“Oh, Xiao Ning, this place looks ridiculously expensive. The gold on the door is almost blinding me. We’re not going to be ripped off. Listen to Grandma, let’s go home and eat.”

"Grandma, it's not expensive. That gold is fake," Yang Qingning said helplessly. She regretted bringing them to this place.

Lin Guojun waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, Xiao Ning, don't lie to us. This place is exactly the same as the high-end restaurants shown on TV. The food here will cost us over a thousand yuan."

Ms. Yang, who still has tens of thousands of yuan in her account, really wanted to say that this place is really not expensive.

Lin Xi also felt it was too expensive. Last time she was alone, but this time she brought her whole family, which was really not good. She also persuaded Teacher Yang to go home for dinner.

Ultimately, unable to persuade the old lady otherwise, the group got back into the car and drove straight home.

The old woman immediately beamed, "A-Ning, when Grandma gets home I'll make you a stew of pork, chicken with mushrooms, and stir-fried pork slices..."

At this moment, the villagers in Linjia Village were chatting in front of the Lin family's house. They had all seen that Old Man Lin and his family were on TV, sitting right below the stage, and Lin Guiying was even speaking. How impressive!

They wanted to wait for Old Lin to come back and ask him all sorts of questions: What's it like inside the TV station? How did those people get on TV? Did Xiao Xi really get five thousand yuan? They also wanted to praise Gui Ying'er for her eloquence, and how amazing Xiao Xi was, how she learned those foreign words, which looked like tadpoles…

A red jeep drove up from a distance, and someone said, "This big bus was parked here a couple of days ago; it must have brought Old Lin and the others back."

Teacher Yang looked at the villagers gathered in the distance and asked, "Grandma, why are there so many people in front of your house?"

"Hey, it's okay, don't be scared. They're probably just here to hear me brag," the old lady said honestly, and everyone in the car laughed so hard they bent over.

The villagers automatically made way for the car, and the well-dressed group of people got out, leaving the villagers stunned.

Especially when they saw Teacher Yang, they spoke even softer; her entire demeanor clearly indicated she was no ordinary person.

The villagers, who are usually so talkative, all politely congratulated the Lin family today, and then dispersed in twos and threes, not daring to say a word, waiting for the Lin family guests to leave.

Once inside, Lin Guiying began preparing dinner, while Lin Guojun and Lin Dayuan chatted with Teacher Yang.

Although they spent very little time together, the Lin family all grew fond of this seemingly cold but warm-hearted girl.

Yang Qingning didn't feel uncomfortable at all. This family was quite interesting, and just talking to them for a few minutes would make her feel exceptionally good.

Lin Xi couldn't wait to wash her hands and go back to her room; she was going to draw a prize!

[Ding! One Eternal Heart Necklace: 100% Confidence Boost, prolonged wear can cultivate a powerful mindset]

"Host, wearing this will allow you to easily control the entire scene," Xiao Yi said proudly and smugly.

The girl carefully admired the exquisite and unique necklace in her hand. Irregular silver square balls were strung together, shining brightly even in the dim light, like a flowing galaxy.

Below is a heart-shaped blue gemstone pendant. If you look closely, something seems to be flowing inside, like fine golden sand being blown by the wind, swirling in circles.

"It's so beautiful, Xiao Yi, thank you."

She always won the perfect item in the lottery. She didn't think it was just good luck; she knew it was a gift from Xiao Yi.

When the teacher pointed out my handwriting, I drew a pen; when my eyes were dry from staying up late, I drew contact lenses; during this competition, I was nervous on stage, so I drew a necklace that could help me adjust my mindset.

What a coincidence! It was just something Xiao Yi, who had been keeping an eye on her, prepared in advance.

The girl gently lifted the necklace with both hands and put it on her fair neck. She tucked the pendant into her clothes and wore it all the time except when she was taking a shower, not because of its function, but because of Xiao Yi's thoughtfulness.

A knock came at the door. Lin Xi pulled her collar up and opened it.

"Xiao Xi, what are you doing?" Teacher Yang stood at the door with a gentle expression.

Grandpa Lin and Dad Lin were called away to work, and she was sent back by Grandma Lin. Only then did she realize that her student was not there, so she came over to check.

Lin Xi pulled the teacher into her bedroom and made her sit in the spot where Lin Jing usually sat, smiling as she said she was organizing her notes.

On the table were stacks of books and notebooks, as well as the CET-4 and CET-6 vocabulary books and English-Chinese dictionaries that she had given her before, all neatly arranged, with a sixth-grade English notebook that was half-organized in the middle.

Yang Qingning saw the content that interested her, picked up her notes and flipped through them. The summary was not a complete copy of the textbook, but rather a compilation of key knowledge points based on her own thinking, along with corresponding extensions and examples of how this knowledge point might be tested.

For students in the exam-oriented education system, this notebook extracts all the essence of the book and deciphers the examiners' intentions. Mastering this notebook is essentially equivalent to mastering the entire book. It's no exaggeration to call it a treasure trove.

Seeing that the teacher seemed interested, Lin Xi took out her previous notes as well. Yang Qingning flipped through them all and joked that if the other students saw these notes, they would probably fight over them.

Lin Xi thought that if nothing unexpected happened, she would go directly to sixth grade next semester, and the teachers would all be with the students as usual. Teacher Yang had helped her so much, and she didn't have anything good to give her, so she might as well give her the notebook.

"Teacher, if you don't mind, these are fourth-grade notes. You can let our class use them. If everyone can improve, it will make your teaching easier."

Yang Qingning quickly waved her hand to refuse, saying that this was the student's hard work, and that teaching and educating people was her duty.

Lin Xi mentioned that she was going to skip a grade, and since she wouldn't need it anyway, she figured she might as well use it to benefit everyone instead of leaving it to gather dust. With that, she took out all the notes she had previously compiled.

"Teacher, these are all the notes from grades three to five. If other teachers need them, you can give them to them for me."

Yang Qingning was surprised by the students' kindness. Most people wouldn't give away their hard-earned items to others for free, even if they were very useful to them.

"Xiao Xi, I thank you on behalf of the other teachers and students. I know you don't want anything in return, but human nature is complex. Sometimes, giving something for a price is worse than giving something for nothing."

So today, your teacher is making a promise to you: I can grant you one request in the future without violating any moral principles. If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to contact me.

You are a kind child, but not everyone will appreciate your kindness.

Just like this notebook, I won't make a copy for everyone; I'll only give it to those whose grades have improved.

Because if someone doesn't want to learn it, they won't even glance at it if I put it in front of them.

As for those who want to learn, once I mention it, they will strive for it themselves and cherish it even more.

Your teacher won't waste your hard work.

Lin Xi didn't expect her teacher to say these things to her. After all, writing these notes was just to complete the system task and now it had no use. But for others, it was a magic weapon to improve their grades.

It wasn't that she was bragging; this was something she had learned and summarized over two lifetimes, truly the essence of knowledge.

These words truly awakened her. She realized that she couldn't just give things away casually, even things she didn't want. A little kindness is appreciated, but too much will breed resentment. Free things are never truly appreciated.

"Thank you, teacher. I understand," the girl replied seriously and solemnly.

Yang Qingning patted the little girl's head with satisfaction, hoping that while she was kind, she could also learn to protect herself.

"Dinner's ready, Xiaoxi and Xiaoning, come out and eat!" Lin Guiying's voice came from the living room, breaking the serious atmosphere.

"With my grandma's voice, the whole village knows we're about to eat," Lin Xi said, picking at her ear. Yang Qingning smiled.

At the dinner table, Yang Qingning's rice bowl kept piling up, seemingly never finishing, but since Grandma Lin had already put more rice in her bowl, she felt embarrassed to refuse.

Lin Xi knew this kind of pain well. "Grandma, let the teacher pick it up herself. We're all family now. Teacher Yang won't be polite, right?"

Yang Qingning nodded repeatedly; she was so full she couldn't eat anymore.

Lin Guiying then gave up. She saw that the child was very thin and must not have been eating properly. Although the child was her granddaughter's teacher, she was still a young girl in her early twenties, so she couldn't help but want to take better care of her.

After the meal, Teacher Yang took Lin Xi's stack of notes and got into the car, disappearing from the Lin family's sight once again.

After getting home, she scrolled through her contacts and dialed a number. "Wenji, come over tomorrow and help me register a copyright..."

The girl on the other end immediately agreed, her voice filled with elation; she hadn't seen her boss in a long time.
