When Ji Shiqi was seven, Uncle Ji asked him: "Do you want to go up the mountain or go to school?"
Ji Shiqi replied: "I'll work in the fields."

When Ji Shiqi was ten, Uncle Ji asked him again: "Do you want to go up the mountain or go to school?"
This time, Ji Shiqi answered honestly: "I'll go to school."

This time, Ji Shiqi answered honestly, sighing: "I'll travel and study."
