Jiang Yi finished his homework very late yesterday. He was a little tired when he woke up in the morning, but he still thoughtfully cooked sweet potato porridge for everyone.

Because there were better materials at home, Jiang Yi developed a habit of frugality and was reluctant to use many things.

Everyone drank a bowl of porridge. The sky was dark today and there was a light rain outside. Jiang Yi stood at the door with his schoolbag on his back, feeling a little worried.

It is the most troublesome to go to and from school in this kind of weather. If you are not careful, your shoes will get wet, and the mountain roads are slippery and it is easy to fall.

Jiang Yi was about to go out, and Jiang Li quickly took an umbrella and followed him.

"Jiang Yi, take this with you."

"Thank you, sister." Jiang Yi had always thought that there was no umbrella at home, and he was about to go out in the rain.

"Be careful on the road. It doesn't matter if you're late, but don't fall."

"Sister, I understand. Thank you for your concern."

Jiang Yi turned around and smiled sweetly at her. He was a little worried at first, but now after listening to his sister's patient advice, he was no longer afraid.

Jiang Yi went out with an umbrella, and he deliberately chose to walk in a place without water.

The road out of the village was particularly muddy. Jiang Yi was afraid that his newly bought shoes would get dirty, so he immediately took off his shoes, held them in his hands, and walked barefoot in the mud.

The rain got heavier along the way, and he got quite wet, but he still held on to his shoes and schoolbag tightly.

The weather was so bad today that it was an hour and a half later when Jiang Yi arrived at school.

He is rarely late, but today he was 15 minutes late.

The first class in the morning was Teacher Shen’s. Jiang Yi stood awkwardly at the door of the classroom and mustered up the courage to call out, “Register.”

Everyone looked up, their expressions filled with surprise.

"Jiang Yi, it's raining and the mountain road is hard to walk on. Come in quickly."

"Thank you, Teacher Shen."

With Teacher Shen's reminder, everyone suddenly remembered that Jiang Yi lived in a remote mountain village. It was not easy for him to walk to school every time, and it was even more difficult on rainy days.

Most of Jiang Yi's body was soaked by the rain. The weather was already cold, and he was barefoot.

He had been exercising while walking and didn't feel cold, but now that he sat down, the cold wind blew in through the window and Jiang Yi shivered.

He felt his nose and throat itchy, and sneezed softly while covering his mouth.

Shen Changan, who was giving a lecture, naturally heard his voice. He walked up to Jiang Yi and immediately took off his thick coat and put it on his shoulders.

"Teacher Shen, I'm wet and dirty. I really can't take your coat. It will get wet!"

Jiang Yi seemed to be electrocuted and immediately took off Shen Changan’s coat to return it to him.

"Take it and wear it. Don't make any noise in class, and don't disturb your classmates."

After saying this, Shen Changan turned and left. He walked to the podium as if nothing had happened and continued to teach his classmates.

Jiang Yi raised his head and looked at the thin sweater Teacher Shen was wearing. Seeing his tall and straight body, his eyes instantly became moist.

Jiang Yi sat straighter and listened more attentively.

During the period, Teacher Shen asked a few questions, and Jiang Yi also raised his hand and actively answered the questions.

After a math class, Shen Changan was frozen all over.

The bell rang for the end of get out of class, and Shen Changan put away the lesson plan stiffly. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He could warm himself by the fire when he returned to the office, and his whole body would be warm in a short while.

Shen Changan was about to leave when Jiang Yi quickly caught up with him.

"Teacher Shen, your coat."

"Jiang Yi, come with me to the office."

Jiang Yi was startled and thought he had made some mistake.

He followed Teacher Shen to the office. There were several stoves burning in the office, and it was warm inside.

"Sit down."

Shen Changan pointed to his chair and said, Jiang Yi stood there, not daring to move.

"Teacher Shen, I just came to return my coat."

"Sit there for a while and warm yourself up by the fire. Then go on. You still need to put on your shoes."

"But I only have one pair of shoes, and these are the shoes my sister gave me. I can't bear to get them dirty."

Jiang Yi lowered his voice. He looked at his bare feet and felt so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.

"The purpose of shoes is to protect your feet. You're walking barefoot on the mountain road in such heavy rain. Aren't you afraid of hurting your feet?"

It was the first time that Shen Changan saw such a poor and hardworking student.

The key is that he has a very good talent for learning, so good that even he is a little envious.

"Teacher Shen, I was wrong."

Jiang Yi realized that it was useless to be stubborn, so he immediately changed his strategy and surrendered.

"If you know you're wrong, will you do it again next time?"

Jiang Yi was unable to answer for a moment, because what he was thinking was, "I still dare."

Seeing him like this, Shen Changan guessed what he was thinking, and he shook his head helplessly.

Children from poor families are so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.

"You can't sit here and warm yourself by the fire. You'll catch a cold if you're not careful. I think you should take off your clothes and put them over the fire to warm them. That way it will be faster."

Jiang Yi thought about it and looked around. There was no female teacher in the office at the moment.

"Stop looking at you and change quickly. Even a female teacher wouldn't bother looking at you with your small body."

Jiang Yi shyly took off his shirt. His trouser legs were rolled up so it was not necessary to take them off at the moment.

Jiang Yi was very thin when he was wearing clothes, and when he took off his clothes, only a few ribs were left. Shen Changan stared at his thin little body for a long time.

"Has your sister never given you a full meal?"

Shen Changan almost squeezed out these words from between his teeth. Although Jiang Li was thin, he was not as thin as Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi also looked down at his thin body. He quickly took Teacher Shen's coat and put it on his shoulders, tightly wrapping up his thin and somewhat deformed body.

"Teacher Shen, my sister is very good to me. You can't say that about her."

The expression on Jiang Yi’s face was a little serious, and Shen Changan realized that he had said the wrong thing.

"I'm sorry, I just think you're too thin and you might be a little malnourished."

"My family is poor, my parents are gone, and it's not easy for my sister as a girl. But she was willing to support my education under such circumstances, and I am really grateful to her."

What Jiang Yi said was true, and Shen Changan couldn't help but think of that little face the size of a palm.

This face was cute but with a hint of fatigue, and even when talking to her, she sounded a little impatient.

Although she concealed it very well, Shen Changan still saw it at a glance.

"Your sister is really good. You should treat her better when you become successful in the future."

"That's for sure. My favorite people are my sister and my two little nephews!"

Jiang Yi's smile became particularly bright when he talked about his sister and two little nephews.

"Your sister looks quite young, but she already gave birth to two children?"
