"Hu Mingchen, why don't you want to be the class leader? You have the best academic performance, aren't you willing to help your classmates?" After being surprised, Ma Yi glanced at Hu Mingchen for a few moments, and then asked solemnly.

"Teacher Ma...... It's not that I don't want to help my classmates, and I am absolutely obligated to do what I can, but if I become a class president...... I'm just going to delay everyone. In front of so many classmates, Hu Mingchen's reasons were not so reasonable, and even Hu Mingchen did not tell the truth vaguely.

"It's just going to delay everyone, I don't understand why?" Ma Yi continued.

"Mr. Ma, I'll report to you alone in the office in a while. Hu Mingchen's eyes roamed around the classroom, and seeing that every student was staring up at him, Hu Mingchen could only give up the practice of showing selfishness in public.

"That'...... Okay, you come to the office in a moment and help me move the textbooks by the way. ”

At the beginning of the new semester, in addition to the homeroom teacher's lecture, an important thing is to distribute new textbooks.

After the class ended, the others continued to move freely in the classroom, frolicking and no one cared, while Hu Mingchen went to the office to explain to Ma Yi the reason why he was not the class leader.

"Do you know that the most important task of your school is to study?"

Last semester, Hu Mingchen did business at the school gate for a few months, which Ma Yi not only knew, but also gave Hu Mingchen a relaxed policy environment.

Hu Mingchen got very good results in several consecutive exams, which made Ma Yi proud and happy, and finally met such a good seedling, she didn't want Hu Mingchen to be corroded by copper odor and affect his learning progress.

"Teacher Ma, I reported to you about my family's situation last semester, if I don't make money in business, let alone study hard, I'm afraid it's still unknown whether I can continue to come to school. And as you can see, my business has not affected my studies, on the contrary, it has made me more aware of my life direction, more motivated and purposeful to study because of earning money. Hu Mingchen stood in front of Ma Yi and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"The direction of your life, the purpose, hehe, then tell me, what is the direction of your life, and what is the purpose of your study?" Ma Yi asked with a chuckle.

Being a teacher for so long, hearing the direction of life and the purpose of learning from the mouth of a primary school student is the first time for Ma Yi. As a result, she became interested in Hu Mingchen's vision for the future.

Naturally, Ma Yi's chuckle was also somewhat distrustful and funny.

"The purpose of my study is very simple, I want to learn more knowledge, I want to go out of the mountains and go to university. And my knowledge and going to university outside the country are the foundation that supports the direction of my life. I want to make money, to make a lot of money, and in this day and age, to do this, you can't do it without cultural knowledge, and even if you're lucky and pick up some bargains, it won't last long. And I don't just earn money for myself, of course, for myself and for my family, this is the most basic, I think it's understandable. I hope that one day, I can bring my hometown to get rich and earn money together, our ancestors have not been rich for generations, and the villagers live a life that is not hungry, at least to solve the problem of food and clothing. One day I will be able again, and I will definitely give back to the land that raised me. Hu Mingchen said solemnly.

The more Ma Yi listened, the more frightened he became, what he often heard was that he wanted to be a policeman, a teacher, and a soldier when he grew up. And a child's ideal is to earn money, this is the first time Ma Yi has heard it. What shocked her was that Hu Mingchen had the ambition to change the appearance of his hometown at such a young age, which Ma Yi had never heard of.

Not to mention from the mouths of children, even from the mouths of adults, Ma Yi has never heard anything like this.

More importantly, Hu Mingchen connects all this with reading and learning, with clear logic and a rational understanding of the future.

He wasn't firing the artillery, Ma Yi could hear that Hu Mingchen, a kid, really thought so in his heart, and he should do the same in the future.

The purpose of making money is not noble, but the ideal of leading the people of his hometown to get rich together can be said to be great.

"You mean you want to be an entrepreneur?" Ma Yi still felt that the word "making money" was cheesy, and helped him replace it with a term with a positive meaning.

It seems that a person's ideal should be to become a heroic and great family, such as a scientist, a writer, an educator, a politician, a military strategist, and so on.

The word merchant gives people the feeling that it is full of copper smell, profiteers and profiteers, ten merchants and nine traitors. If you become an entrepreneur, you will suddenly be much more high-end, and you can be classified as "outstanding".

"Well, it's an entrepreneur, hehe, I didn't expect such an accurate name for a while. Hu Mingchen nodded, and then scratched his head with a sincere smile.

"The ambition is not small, but even if it is so, it will not affect you to be the class leader, anyway, you are doing business at the school gate, and it is still beneficial for you to do business and make money if you can't be the class leader." Ma Yi said with a smile.

Considering Hu Mingchen's excellent academic performance, Ma Yi still hopes that he can take over the position of class leader, in Ma Yi's opinion, only Hu Mingchen can represent the second class of the fourth grade, and there is still a big gap between others and him.

"Teacher Ma, this ....... I can't just make money from the students, this student can have a lot of money, and now in addition to selling cards, I also collect ginger roast to sell. Since you want to be an entrepreneur, you should take a long-term view and be broader. I really don't have time to take care of the trivial things in the class. Mr. Ma, you can't let me compress my study time, if that's the case, I'm afraid my grades will drop this semester. Hu Mingchen said with a frown.

As soon as he heard that Hu Mingchen had broadened his business scope in such a short period of time, and he was still doing a ginger business that ordinary adults would not dare to do, Ma Yi really didn't know how to evaluate this extraordinary student. To say that he is bold, to say that he is naïve, or that he is courageous?

In addition, Hu Mingchen used his academic performance to talk about things, which really made Ma Yi shake his mind.

Finally, there is such a promising good seedling, and she doesn't want to die just yet.

"What should I do then? I'll find someone else for this squad leader?" Ma Yi asked in a slightly self-deprecating tone after a while.

"Teacher Ma, you should find other classmates, there are other students in our class who have good academic performance, and we should also give them some opportunities to exercise, I can't be too selfish and take all the good things on me." Hu Mingchen replied.

"Hee-hee-hee......" Ma Yi was amused by Hu Mingchen and chuckled.

You can't be too selfish, if you weren't selfish, you wouldn't have resigned from the position of squad leader, and now you still say that you are selfless and fair.

Laughing and laughing, in the end, Ma Yi was persuaded by Hu Mingchen and no longer forced him to be the squad leader. However, Ma Yi did not forget to tell Hu Mingchen again and again that no matter what he does, his academic performance must not decline, otherwise, she will ask Hu Mingchen to invite his parents to prevent him from continuing to wander the "shopping mall".

For this request, Hu Mingchen promised to be categorical, ensuring that his grades would only improve, and would never decline.

Hu Mingchen had decided that he could no longer suffer in cultural knowledge in this life, so how could he relax his studies. Otherwise, Hu Mingchen would not have spent a lot of money in the city to buy so many books and come back to supplement his studies.

When a person has a strong desire to learn and knows exactly what he needs in the future, he does not have to worry and worry about learning. The role of external factors is never as great or strong as that of the heart.

Just like Hu Mingchen now, no one can stop his way to learning and progressing.

In the afternoon, all classes in the school are organizing cleaning, cleaning the campus and classes that have been idle for a holiday to welcome the new semester.

But Hu Mingchen was not in the ranks of his classmates who were cleaning, the goods prepared by Wang Zhan for him had been brought to Duge Street with the help of Hu Youling, and Hu Mingchen was going to take the goods back to his small shop at the school gate and sort them out in order to facilitate the start of sales the next day.

If Hu Mingchen becomes the squad leader, where can he run out to do his own private affairs.

If Hu Mingchen is the class leader, then the organizer must be him, if he slips away, it is strange that the other people will work hard.

As soon as school was out in the afternoon, Hu Mingchen hurried home, and he wanted to go back as soon as possible to see how the ginger was collected on the first day today.

In Hu Mingchen's mind, as long as the information about his family's ginger collection is released, those who have dug up the new ginger will send fresh ginger to his house in an endless stream.

However, the truth was not as he thought, Hu Mingchen hurriedly returned home, and found that there was no one in the house, his father Hu Jianjun and mother Jiang Yucai were not at home, and there was only a bag of fifty or sixty catties of fresh ginger in the hall.

"Why is it so little, where are your parents?" Hu Mingchen asked himself in frustration.

"Could it be that someone came to our house to sell ginger, found that there was no one at home, and went back by themselves?" Hu Yandie stood next to Hu Mingchen and took a sip of water with a water ladle.

Today, the family began to collect ginger, so not only Hu Mingchen rushed home in a hurry after school, but also Hu Yandie. As for Hu Yujiao, she was left behind, entrusting Hu Xiaomin to bring her back slowly.
