For example, the village chief.
There are quite a few children in Canglong Village, he can't help every family.
The reason why he doesn't send himself to school is that many clever kids, after finishing elementary school, don't have the money to continue their education. They often drop out due to family reasons after receiving some basic education.
They either start managing their family's small plot of land or go to the city to work and help with household expenses.
Ji Li hears the village chief's grandson reciting the slogan "Knowledge changes destiny" every day and can only sigh inwardly—how could he be so lucky?
But the village chief isn't completely heartless either!
Ever since he helped the village chief's young grandson Erhu with his homework, the little guy often comes to him for help.
The content in books is very complicated for Erhu but is easy for Ji Li to understand at a glance.
