After being reborn, I have seven older sisters.

Song Chunsheng immediately fell silent, staring curiously at Li Yufeng, who seemed to have something on her mind.

I thought to myself, she's such a cheerful person, and her professional skills and interpersonal relationships with other teachers and leaders are all impeccable. What could possibly be difficult for her?

Just as he was pondering this, Li Yufeng swallowed the sip of tea she had just drunk and looked at the two of them with a smile.

"Don't look at me like that, either of you. Actually, I'm used to it by now, but I didn't think it was a big deal, so I didn't tell you!"

"I only made a couple of comments because I happened to see Chunsheng's English notes!"

Upon hearing this, Song Chunsheng immediately turned his gaze to the notebook with a kraft paper cover on the cabinet beside the kang (a heated brick bed).

Those were his English notes.

He always believed that a bad pen is worse than a good memory, so he would take careful notes in class for each subject so that he could review them later.

Li Yufeng placed the teacup on the counter and picked up the notebook again to read through it.

"Many students take notes in class, but not many take notes in English, and I've never seen English notes as well as yours before!"

"Honestly, even back in my university class of over thirty English education majors, there weren't many who could take notes as meticulously as you!"

Song Chunsheng stared blankly at Li Yufeng, still not understanding what had happened after hearing so much.

After putting the notebook back in its place, Li Yufeng shook her head with a sullen expression.

"Actually, the fact that English classes are not valued by schools and are easily replaced by other subjects is not only common in our school, but also in many places in counties, provincial capitals, and even other areas!"

"Sometimes I can understand them. After all, in this kind of environment, even if you learn English very well, it's useless!"

"But I believe the environment can't stay like this forever. How can such a large country like ours develop and interact with the outside world if we don't understand other people's languages!"

At this point in Li Yufeng's story, Song Chunsheng finally understood that he had been sulking because of this matter.

"Teacher Li, I think what you said makes a lot of sense. I think the same way. If our country wants to develop and become stronger, it will definitely have exchanges and cooperation with many countries in the world in the future."

"Furthermore, as far as I know, at least thirty countries in the world use English as their official language, and many of these are developed countries!"

"If we want to become stronger, we definitely need to learn and exchange ideas with countries that are stronger than us. Only by learning their best practices can we become like them, or even surpass them..."

As Li Yufeng listened to Song Chunsheng's eloquent speech, something deep within her was unconsciously ignited.

She had been feeling down and frustrated, but after hearing Song Chunsheng's words, her mood instantly brightened and she became surprisingly happy.

In the past, whenever I encountered something like this, I would get so upset that I sometimes couldn't sleep all night.

"How do you know so much?"

Li Yufeng suddenly stood up from the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), her eyes shining as she looked at the 17-year-old boy opposite her.

She herself had forgotten how many times she had complained to the school leaders about the easy rescheduling of her English class, but each time she received only a few perfunctory words of comfort and advice to be more magnanimous and to prioritize the bigger picture.

She knew that when the leader said that, she had already been excluded from the overall picture.

None of her close colleagues, classmates, or even family members who had received the same higher education could truly understand her; they all only offered a few perfunctory words of comfort.

She never expected that during a casual home visit and a few unintentional words, Song Chunsheng, who usually seemed quiet and reserved, would say something that would deeply shock her.

Song Chunsheng was startled by Li Yufeng's sudden action, wondering if he had offended her with something he said without realizing it!

"I……"

He was speechless for a moment, staring blankly at his homeroom teacher who was only a few years older than him, not knowing what to say!

Song Hongqin, who was sitting on the edge of the kang with Li Yufeng, was also startled by Li Yufeng's behavior and stood up as well.

"Teacher Li, Chunsheng...did he say something wrong? If there really is a problem, please don't report it to the school leaders. He was just saying it casually; he might not really mean it..."

When Song Hongqin spoke, her voice was so weak it almost sounded like she was about to cry, Song Chunsheng almost couldn't help but laugh.

It's obvious that this little girl is worried about me!

Although he still didn't understand why Li Yufeng's reaction was so strong, he was certain it wouldn't be as Song Hongqin had feared.

Because he knew that in a few years, there would be more and more exchanges between China and other countries, and the wave of globalization would be unstoppable.

These are things they don't know, and they certainly can't tell you. Even if they did, no one would believe them.

When Li Yufeng saw that Song Hongqin was crying, she immediately realized that she had indeed been too emotional and had frightened both students!

She quickly put her arm around Song Hongqin's shoulder, sat back down on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), and said with a smile, "You silly girl, it's not as serious as you make it out to be. You even reported it to the school leaders! We've known each other for so long, do you really think I'm such a tattletale?"

"That's not what I meant, Teacher Li!"

Although Song Hongqin could clearly tell that Li Yufeng was trying to comfort her in a half-joking way, out of respect for her teacher and to maintain a good teacher-student relationship in the future, she had to dispel any possibility that her homeroom teacher might misunderstand her.

Li Yufeng laughed and gave Song Hongqin's shoulder a tight hug. "I know, I was just joking. I know you well enough. In your heart, your teacher must be a beautiful, intelligent, and understanding teacher, right?"

"Yes, yes, that's exactly what I think!"

As Song Hongqin spoke, she nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice.

Song Chunsheng was left speechless, both amused and exasperated by the two people's antics.

He sometimes felt that Li Yufeng's ability to get along well with her classmates was not only related to her personality, but also perhaps closely related to her living environment, or what people would later call her family of origin.

She grew up in the provincial capital. After graduating from university, she not only didn't stay in the provincial capital to work, but was also assigned to Qinyuan Middle School, which was so remote it couldn't be more remote. If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't be laughing now.

But Li Yufeng was different. Every time she was in class or on the street, she gave people a feeling of warmth and comfort.

"Chunsheng, tell the teacher quickly, how do you know so much?"

Li Yufeng gently stroked Song Hongqin's hair with her hand while smiling at Song Chunsheng.

Song Chunsheng immediately stood up, looked up, and pointed to the ceiling and walls of the room, "It's all through these!"

Li Yufeng then noticed that the walls and ceiling of Song Chunsheng's room were completely covered with all kinds of newspapers!
