Zhong Anping returned home and began rummaging through boxes and closets, flipping through the books he had studied from elementary to middle school. Fortunately, he had kept all of them. He carefully wiped every book with a clean cloth, which included a few perfect score test papers, causing a hint of bitterness in his eyes.
He still remembered the regret in the respected teacher's eyes when he told his middle school class teacher that he couldn't continue to high school. The teacher didn't try to retain him because she knew too well that as a mere teacher, she couldn't change the situation.
The head teacher only told him not to abandon the knowledge he had learned, and even if he had to work at home, not to forget about studying. She always told him to pick up his books and read from time to time. The respected and beloved teacher even gave him a full set of high school textbooks to enable him to study at home.
