Chapter 497: Chapter 497 What do you want to be when you grow up?

Yun Xiaoxiao saw Xiao Bao sitting upright, listening attentively to the teacher and reading along.

A smile finally appeared on her face.

If it really came to divorce, she couldn’t insist on keeping the children, but she could visit them often, and having cared for such a lovely child for so many years, she still felt some affection.

On the other side, Zhao Tianlei was completely unaware that his wife wanted a divorce.

If he had known, he would have been furious and determined to find the person stirring things up.

Beating them up would be letting them off lightly.

"Mommy..."

Xiao Bao suddenly saw his mother standing by the window.

"Xiao Bao’s mom..."

The teacher also looked toward the window and saw Xiao Bao’s mother.

Knew that Xiao Bao’s mother studied at Tsing University.

"Xiao Bao’s mom, I heard from Xiao Bao that you are a college student."

"Yes, I heard Xiao Bao mentioned it."

"My grandmother said that getting into college is quite an achievement."

Yun Xiaoxiao nodded at the principal and pushed the door open to enter.

The principal didn’t look up but closed the door to keep the room warm and went about her own business.

"Xiao Bao’s mom, the children all want to know, can you tell them about it?"

Yun Xiaoxiao nodded and looked at the children inside the classroom.

"Children, when you grow up, what do you want to be? Raise your hand to answer?"

"This student, you speak."

Although unsure why Xiao Bao’s mom was asking this, many children raised their hands.

"Xiao Bao’s mom, I want to drive a truck, my dad is a driver."

After letting him sit down, Yun Xiaoxiao began to speak about drivers.

"What is a truck driver? It’s someone who hauls goods from one factory to another. Some drivers drive through many places for several days to deliver the goods, but at the same time, they are very tired. Some drivers, because they need to deliver the goods quickly, often rest only a few hours a day. Young friend, are you prepared to endure hardship?"

"Ordinary people should ideally get eight hours of sleep a day, but drivers reduce their sleep to deliver goods earlier. Moreover, traveling long distances poses dangers. I hope, young friend, that you can appreciate your father’s hard work."

Yun Xiaoxiao changed her tone, "This young friend, what do you want to be when you grow up?"

"Xiao Bao’s mom, I want to be a doctor."

A doctor?

Yun Xiaoxiao looked at the young student, "Being a doctor is very noble but also draining. Why do I say doctors are noble? Because many doctors snatch lives from the clutches of death. They heal the wounded and save the dying, there are many specialties—emergency, obstetrics and gynecology, surgery, internal medicine, etc. Doctors always think of their patients, striving to relieve their suffering.

Of course, if you want to be a doctor and be a good one, you must study hard and aim to be a top doctor."

"Xiao Bao’s mom, I will try my best."

Yun Xiaoxiao then asked another child, "Young friend, what do you want to be when you grow up?"

The child thought for a moment, "I want to be a chef."

Yun Xiaoxiao didn’t scoff at the young student’s dream.

"We can’t live without food all our lives. To be a chef, you can’t just know how to cook local dishes; our country has many cuisines. There are eight major culinary traditions in our country: Lu Cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Fujian cuisine, Jiangsu cuisine, Zhejiang cuisine, Hunan cuisine, and Hui Cuisine.

Have you ever heard that in the past, the Imperial Palace had a hundred and eight dishes?"

The children below shook their heads, unaware.

But they all listened very attentively.

"Young friend, you can start learning the basics now. I wish you success and hope you won’t give up halfway."
