After hearing Sun Mo's reply, the girl named Ning Ju was stunned.
(If I wanted to know, would I need to ask you?)
Of course, Ning Ju didn't dare to ask this. Hence, she lowered her head and fell silent, like a lonely blooming daffodil.
Sun Mo looked at this girl and organized his words.
Ning Ju, 15 years old. Peak of the sixth level of the body-refinement realm.
Strength: 7. Done a lot of work and suffered a lot. As long as I have these hands, I'll be able to live on!
Intellect: 5. Not considered outstanding. Mediocre. However, if you have the heart, you'll take the initiative to learn!
Agility: 5. Passable.
Endurance: 8. There's no suffering that you can't endure.
Will: 3. Previously at the peak of 8. Currently declining.
...
Potential value: Average.
Note: Due to the death of her mother, she has been unable to focus on her studies. Hence, she has sunk into self-doubt!
At this moment, including the patrolling students and examiners outside the classroom, there were close to 200 gazes staring at Sun Mo. Some were judging, some were curious, and some were watching a show. However, Sun Mo wasn't moved at all. In his eyes, there was only this thin and weak girl.
"15 years old is the flowering season. It's the carefree and carefree period of youth for young men and women."
Sun Mo spoke.
The entire classroom fell silent.
When Ning Ju heard this, a self-mocking smile appeared on her face.
Flowering season?
Laughter?
Carefree?
(I only feel fatigue!)
Born in a poor family, from the moment she opened her eyes, Ning Ju's deepest impression was hunger. Later on, she also felt fatigue.
In order to fill her stomach, Ning Ju did a lot of work.
She followed her mother and washed clothes until late at night. She had to wake up before daybreak. Other people didn't want to do the work that they found tiring. However, not only did Ning Ju fight to do it, but she also rejoiced that her mother finally resigned. This way, she could do the work of two people and receive two sets of wages.
Ning Ju originally thought that her days would be like this until she was 13 years old. One day, her mother pulled her to a huge courtyard.
That was a huge house that Ning Ju wouldn't be able to live in even if she worked her entire life.
Later on, Ning Ju found out that it was the house of a great teacher. It was also him who couldn't resist her mother's pleading. After checking her aptitude, he decided to let her enter the Guangling Academy.
It sounded very simple, but her mother had never said that she kowtowed 1,000 times in the courtyard of the great teacher's house for this opportunity.
Ning Ju didn't want to go to school because the tuition was too expensive.
But Mother always said, "I don't want you to be like me, working hard for your whole life, struggling for your whole life. Study hard. Even if you only learn a little, you can still make a living."
Ning Ju was obedient, not because she wanted to make a living, but because she wanted her mother to live a good life.
But now, his mother was dead!
Ning Ju knew that her mother had worked herself to death to save up for her school fees!
At that moment, Ning Ju felt that she had killed her mother. She clearly had no talent, so why didn't she tell her mother?
As long as he didn't go to school, his mother wouldn't die.
Sun Mo looked toward the entire classroom, looking at the young and tender faces. "But I hope that you guys won't forget that there are two pairs of arms behind you that will shelter you from the wind and rain!"
The students fell silent. They knew that Sun Mo was talking about their parents.
"Why do you think your mother sent you to school?"
Sun Mo glanced at Ning Ju. He didn't wait for her to reply and continued asking.
"Bring honor to our ancestors? Did I rely on you to live a good life? Or should I get rid of you? "
"My mother wouldn't feel that I'm trouble!"
Hearing Sun Mo's words, Ning Ju felt that her mother had been insulted. She directly roared, "She wanted me to live a good life in the future and not have to starve."
Pitter patter! Pitter patter!
The tears on Ning Ju's face flowed down her cheeks.
"Since you know, why do you still want to let her down?"
Sun Mo wasn't angry. Honestly speaking, he felt gratified when he saw Ning Ju's reaction. At the very least, his mother's dedication wasn't wasted.
"Because... because I... I don't have talent!"
Ning Ju covered her face with her hands. "I don't have any talent at all. Other than wasting money by studying here, there's no future for me!"
"Sigh!"
Zhang Mai sighed. After so many years, he had seen too many students like this. After all, in this world, mediocre people were the majority.
"Yes, you don't have talent!"
Sun Mo spoke bluntly.
The moment he said this, the students were a little surprised and unhappy. Even if this was the truth, wasn't it a little too cruel to this girl?
"But just because you don't have talent, is that a reason for you not to work hard?"
Sun Mo berated, "You are blaming yourself for letting down your mother. But in this world, who else would understand you better than your mother who gave birth to you? Who else would understand you better than your mother who has gone through thick and thin with you for 15 years?"
"She knew what her child was like, but she still went through so much trouble to send you here. Do you know why?"
Ning Ju lifted her head in astonishment and looked at Sun Mo. "Why?"
"Because she wanted you to live a little better!"
Sun Mo looked at the girl and spoke in a gentle voice.
"In this world, the things you learn won't lie to you. They will eventually become a part of you, allowing you to become a better version of yourself!
"Think about it carefully. If you leave school now, will you still do laundry? Will you still do night scents? Even if you want to earn a living, you will find a better job. "
Ning Ju thought about it and felt that this was really the case. Because she had the capability, she could rely on a better job to earn money.
"If you study a few more years in school and learn more things, you will be even better than you are now!"
Sun Mo looked at Ning Ju and spoke earnestly.
"This is your mother's original intention!"
"Mother!"
Ning Ju sobbed uncontrollably.
The students fell silent. This was especially so for those children who came from poor backgrounds. They felt this the most!
"Stretch out your hand!"
Sun Mo held the girl's hand and turned it over. "Look at them. They will never lie!"
The surrounding students also stretched their necks. This girl's hand was filled with calluses and there were also old and new scars.
"If your talent isn't good, I will use hard work to make up for it!
"In this world, there are only a few people who can stand at the peak. As for you, you don't need to stand at the peak. It will be enough as long as you stand at the waist of the mountain!
"Of course, I still hope that you will think that the peak is your goal. After all, what difference is there between a life without dreams and a salted fish?"
Sun Mo's soft voice drifted through the classroom and into the corridor.
Swoosh!
Priceless Advice was activated.
A layer of golden light appeared on Sun Mo's body. After that, golden light spots splattered out like fireflies by the riverside in midsummer.
"Teacher!"
Ning Ju could no longer control her emotions. She hugged Sun Mo and buried her head in his chest.
"It's been hard on you!"
Sun Mo hugged the girl and gently stroked her hair.
"If your mother saw your hands, she would feel very gratified. It's because my daughter has always been working hard and didn't let down my sweat."
Pitter patter! Pitter patter!
Ning Ju's tears drenched Sun Mo's clothes.
"Well said!"
Outside the corridor, an examiner sighed ruefully and couldn't help but clap and praise.
Mei Yazhi nodded and looked at Sun Mo with admiration in her eyes. As a great teacher, not only did they have to guide the students in their studies, but they also had to be the light that pointed out the way for them.
The students were young and it was inevitable for them to go astray and get lost. The responsibility of a teacher was to help them find the direction to move forward.
"I've heard of a saying before. Do you want to hear it?"
Sun Mo patted Ning Ju's back.
Ning Ju lifted her head and looked at Sun Mo's eyes. "Yes!"
"Life isn't just about the mundane things before us. There's also poetry and the faraway fields!"
Sun Mo softly recited, "You came to the world empty-handed and disregarded everything to find that stretch of sea!"
"Child, don't let down everything your mother has given you. Don't let down your life. You'll definitely be able to comfort your mother's soul in the faraway fields!"
Swoosh!
Priceless Advice was activated again!
The great teacher halo radiated out once again. The golden light spots cascaded down on everyone. It was like the sunlight in winter, gentle and warm.
There were no noises or whispers. The entire world seemed to have sunk into a golden field. There was a harvest, laughter, and birds singing in the azure sky.
After a long time! After a long time!
Tang Nian softly recited 'life isn't just about the mundane things before us' and raised his hands to clap. At this moment, he seemed to see the dream that he had once forgotten.
Pak!
Pak pak pak!
Pak pak pak!
Sparse applause rang out. After that, it was like a thunderstorm in summer, engulfing the entire corridor on the third floor and then extending to the entire teaching building.
At this moment, regardless of whether it was the freshmen or the top students, all of them felt deep admiration for Sun Mo. They seemed to have found the direction to advance in.
"The great teacher world is probably going to give birth to another secondary saint tens of years later!"
Mei Yazhi clapped her hands lightly. Her gaze when she looked at Sun Mo through the window was filled with admiration.
"Sigh, the Jiang Clan is in trouble this time around!"
Zhang Mai sighed and observed three minutes of silence for the Jiang Clan.
Su Tai's mouth was agape, not knowing what to say. Even in his dreams, he had never expected such a development. (How can I refute this?)
If he dared to step out and question Sun Mo, he'd definitely be labeled as a mediocre teacher and wouldn't be able to wash it off for the rest of his life.
"F * ck!"
Su Tai was extremely depressed. After the anger subsided, he felt gloomy and frustrated. In the end, all of his feelings turned into intense envy.
As a teacher, he also wanted to be a beacon of light for his students and be looked up to by them. However, this detestable Sun Mo had actually done it a step before him.
"What's the name of this teacher? Does anyone know?
"That sentence is really well said. There's also a poem and a faraway field. Although it's simple, the concept is profound!"
"What should I do? I even want to transfer schools. I'd definitely be very happy to follow such a teacher, right? "
The students discussed. After the effect of Priceless Advice was reduced, they were still immersed in excitement and had no way to extricate themselves.
Tang Nian knew that it was impossible for Sun Mo to fail. Now, what they wanted to see was what level he could reach, whether he could break the record, whether he could get all the excellent votes and complete the grand slam!
