Chapter 402: Chapter 402 Asking for Help

"No need to be polite, your child’s health is important. Let’s leave it at that, goodbye."

"Goodbye, Teacher Li."

After hanging up the phone, Kang Li returned to the dining table and said with a smile, "Mom has already asked for your leave, now you just listen to mom, understand?"

Xiao Ming Rui nodded with a "mm-hmm."

Kang Li: "Let’s eat."

Xiao Ming Rui: "Okay, mom eat too."

After finishing the meal, Xiao Ming Rui took a couple of walks in the courtyard, drank his cough syrup, and had half a pot of warm water from the enamel tank before he went back to his room to lie down.

He actually felt quite listless.

After tidying up the kitchen, Kang Li went to check on Xiao Ming Rui and softly stepped out of the room upon seeing the little guy already fast asleep under a thin blanket.

After lunch, Xiao Ming Rui felt revitalized and conveyed to Kang Li that he could skip his nap, implying that he wanted to study.

Kang Li clearly understood what the child meant; she smiled, nodded, and stated that they would start catching up on today’s lessons in ten minutes.

It took nearly five to six minutes to wash the dishes and clean the kitchen before Kang Li returned to the living room.

By then, Xiao Ming Rui had already brought his schoolbag to the side and taken out his Chinese language book, math book, writing notebook, arithmetic notebook, and pencil case.

"Our Ruirui is all prepared, huh? Okay, let’s start our lessons now."

Taking the math book, she had the child show where they stopped yesterday, then reviewed yesterday’s material with him before starting on new content.

Her voice was gentle and soft, explaining concepts clearer to Xiao Ming Rui than even his school teachers, so unconsciously, Kang Li ended up teaching two more lessons’ worth of content.

"Oops! Did mom speak a little too much?"

"I understood it all."

"Really?"

"Mm-hmm."

Kang Li gave a thumbs-up: "Our Ruirui is truly brilliant, covering three lessons in one go, smart!"

Xiao Ming Rui shyly smiled, "It’s because mom teaches well."

Kang Li: "I think it’s because our Ruirui is smart! Alright, it’s break time now. You play for a while, and then mom will teach you Chinese."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Ming Rui shook his head: "I’ll do my homework."

Kang Li asked, "Don’t you want to play?"

Xiao Ming Rui replied, "Mm-hmm."

Kang Li asked again, "Why?"

Xiao Ming Rui: "Not interested."

Kang Li smiled helplessly: "But children usually love to play, Ruirui. Don’t push yourself too hard; you should know that studying also requires a balance of work and rest."

Xiao Ming Rui pursed his lips and remained silent for a moment.

"Alright, if you really don’t feel like playing, that’s okay. But at school, you need to move around during breaks, or else you’ll become a bookworm, and that wouldn’t be good."

Kang Li cautioned the child.

Xiao Ming Rui nodded: "Okay." noveldrama

About ten minutes later, Kang Li picked up the Chinese language textbook and, following Xiao Ming Rui’s indications on what his teacher had taught yesterday, she first reviewed and then explained the new material.

As time ticked away, after Kang Li had finished teaching all the subjects on today’s lesson plan, she checked the time and realized it was almost time for kindergarten to end.

"You stay home and do your homework; mom will pick up your brother and sister."

"Mm-hmm."

"Oh, and there’s boiled water in the enamel tank, remember to drink some later."

"Okay."

After giving instructions to the child, Kang Li did a bit more tidying and then left the house.

"Kang Li!"

It was Wu Yue’s voice.

"What is it?"

With no one else behind Wu Yue, Kang Li fell in step behind her, listening as Wu Yue said, "I need a favor, and you can’t refuse. You must help me with this, otherwise, it would mean you don’t consider me a friend."
