Mr. Zhuang didn't say too much to them. He had many principles he wanted to impart, but he also needed the two children to understand and internalize them.
Anyway, the two children were still young; he had plenty of time to communicate his lessons to them and Mr. Zhuang was not in a rush.
Mr. Zhuang then turned to check on Bai Shanbao's lessons since he was new. He needed to figure out his progress to be able to plan his curriculum accordingly.
Bai Shanbao had already memorized The Analects, only the meaning of the latter half was not yet learned.
After asking around, Mr. Zhuang knew he had learned from his previous teacher and Ms. Liu, nodded with satisfaction, and allowed the two children to return to class.
For the first time, Manbao felt that there was a child more capable than herself. Following beside him, she said, "You learn faster than I do. I started studying at the age of one; I've just managed the Thousand Character Classic so far."
