Song Lingling learned that Zhou Ruishu missed the opportunity to attend Qizhong because of Su Xiaotian.
Furthermore, Zhou Ruishu's father was also dismissed and investigated for the same reason, and was now sent down to the countryside.
Although Zhou Ruishu found a school through the efforts of the Zhou and Wan families, her current situation was not good.
She was disliked by both the Zhou and Wan families and was now left at school.
Both families believed that because of her, the two families had offended the leaders above.
When Song Lingling found Zhou Ruishu, she knew that Zhou Ruishu was a person who could be used.
Zhou Ruishu's hatred for Su Xiaotian was beyond words.
Su Xiaotian knew nothing about these behind-the-scenes events. She studied diligently every day and worked persistently.
Due to the ripple effect, the students in Class 18 of Grade 1 had strong learning momentum.
A group of eleven or twelve-year-old youths studied even harder than their classmates who were several years older, making Teacher Huang very pleased.
He felt he could now relax.
He also grew to like Su Xiaotian more and more.
Before the first mini-exam for Class 18 of Grade 1, Su Xiaotian finally finished the thick foreign language book she was reading.
Su Xiaotian had put a lot of effort into this foreign language book, but the rewards were also immense.
When the foreign language book was returned to its place, Su Xiaotian felt a sense of relief.
Following that, she heard the system's prompt.
"Congratulations to the host for acquiring the new skill 'Cultural Integration'."
What?
Su Xiaotian could hardly believe what she heard.
It had triggered another skill?
What kind of magical existence was Cultural Integration?
She quickly summoned the system interface, and when she saw this skill, her heart trembled.
This skill was too amazing; it boosted her foreign language learning ability by fifty percent.
Fifty percent, that was an unimaginable number.
Su Xiaotian felt that with this skill, she could soar.
"Anna, this skill is truly formidable!"
Although she didn't plan to become a translator, mastering foreign languages proficiently meant being able to read original texts.
Reading original texts and learning from original works had always been the best way to learn.
After all, no matter what book it was, after translation, there were always some differences.
"What's so special about it? As long as the host works hard enough, there are even more surprises waiting for you!"
Anna's voice also carried a hint of joy, but her tone was quite irritating.
Su Xiaotian was speechless. Wasn't she working hard enough?
How much time did she spend studying every day? She studied even more diligently and hard than those children preparing for college in later generations.
If this wasn't considered hard work, she didn't know what was.
"Anna, tell me, how else do I need to work hard?"
"Allow this system to remind the host: changing yourself alone cannot fully unleash the system's potential. Changing your surroundings is the way to establish yourself."
"Changing myself alone cannot unleash the system's potential? Changing the environment?"
What did this mean?
"The host can recall where her greatest benefits came from!" Anna's somewhat disdainful tone made Su Xiaotian very depressed.
Was she being looked down upon by a system?
But with such a direct reminder, Su Xiaotian instantly understood.
Changing herself had indeed yielded little benefit.
Her greatest gains came from changing her brothers.
From the time her brothers started studying, to them enjoying reading, and finally achieving some success, she gained considerable benefits each time.
Most of the over 40,000 points in the mall were obtained from her brothers; she herself had earned very few points.
But now, her brothers were already outstanding; what else could she change?
Su Xiaotian felt that compared to her previous life, her brothers' fates had completely changed.
She clutched her head, thinking. This time, even the system Anna didn't offer further reminders.
Su Xiaotian pondered for a long time and finally realized she had fallen into a misconception.
Even though her brothers had changed a lot compared to her previous life.
However, this life was fundamentally different from the previous one. Her brothers could indeed do better based on their current situation.
Su Xiaotian understood.
If that was the case, she would continue to change her brothers' current circumstances.
She decided to immediately formulate a five-year development plan for her brothers.
That's right, a five-year development plan.
If she was going to build them up, she had to be ambitious!
In five years, her eldest, second, and third brothers should be able to achieve great things.
System Anna seemed to sense Su Xiaotian's thoughts and spoke at the opportune moment.
"Anna looks forward to the host's further development!"
Su Xiaotian was a person of action.
She took out paper and pen and began to carefully sort out her brothers' strengths and characteristics, as well as their preferences.
She meticulously listed out the potential futures for her brothers, contemplating what other development opportunities might exist.
Although she knew very well that life was not so easily planned, having a direction was better than having no direction.
She could appropriately offer suggestions to her brothers, but she could not dictate their wishes.
She wrote diligently. Yu Ruiyuan, who passed by the door, saw this and a smile flickered across her lips.
This child was always so earnest.
Heaven rewards diligence; heaven indeed does not fail the hardworking.
After returning to her room, Yu Ruiyuan spoke to Du Tonghe about it, sighing with emotion.
"This child, we've really struck gold!"
Who wouldn't want their juniors to be outstanding and excellent?
"I was thinking of getting her a few more clothes at the department store tomorrow. What do you think, old man?"
"You decide that. Xiaotian doesn't care about these things!"
Yu Ruiyuan gave her old man a sidelong glance and said dismissively, "You old man, you've never understood a girl's heart your whole life!"
What girl wouldn't want to wear pretty clothes?
Du Tonghe leaned close to Yu Ruiyuan's ear and whispered, "I only need to understand your heart; I don't need to understand anything else!"
Yu Ruiyuan's face flushed red, and she gently hit Du Tonghe, unable to help but smile!
The next day, Class 18 of Grade 1 welcomed its first mini-exam.
For this mini-exam, other classes in the first year did not participate.
The exam papers were specially prepared for Class 18 by the subject teachers, the purpose of which was, of course, to understand the true level of Class 18.
Only by understanding the students' true level could they provide targeted teaching in the future.
For Su Xiaotian, the knowledge she could learn in high school was already very limited. At times, she even felt she had just found a place to read.
But as a student, Su Xiaotian still treated the exam with great respect.
Even though it was just a mini-exam, she approached it with one hundred percent effort.
On the way, she also encouraged her two brothers and offered them support.
Her two brothers' academic performance was not bad; it could even be said to be quite good.
But both lacked confidence!
Especially when facing those children from Beijing, although they appeared fine on the surface, they were actually insecure.
"Xiaotian, do you think we can achieve good results? I've been observing recently; although our classmates are not very old, their grades are good," Su Xiao Ba asked hesitantly.
Su Xiao Jiu chimed in, "That's right. Although I don't like Du Yonghe, Du classmate's studies are indeed very good."
"Xiaotian, do you think Xiao Jiu and I will perform worse than in the big exams?"
Su Xiaotian quickly said, "How is that possible? You've studied diligently these past two weeks and have a more comprehensive knowledge base. You'll likely improve in this exam!"
For young people, encouragement is much better than discouragement.
