The short weekend passed, and on Monday morning, Shen Yao and her sister went to school hand in hand.

Now that the weather is warmer, you can just wear a shirt inside and a sweater outside.

The second class this morning was mathematics. After the teacher finished explaining the content, everyone started to write down the key points.

Shen Yao waved her pen and wrote out the next questions from memory, which would also be convenient for Shen Qiu and the others to practice. After writing the last stroke, she moved her wrist and soon heard the bell for the end of class.

The old-fashioned brass bell was pulled and struck, and its deep and long sound spread throughout the campus.

Seeing the teacher leave the classroom, Shen Qiu and the other two rushed over quickly. They were all thinking about today's new questions.

When Shen Qiu saw the test paper on the table, he knew that it was written by Yaoyao for the three of them.

She asked happily, "Yaoyao, have you come up with all the questions?" The three of them are so lucky to have a good sister like Yaoyao!

When Zhou Lingling saw the new topic, she hugged Shen Yao excitedly, "Wow, Yaoyao, you are so good. I feel like I can't leave you. What will I do when I go to college?"

It was different having a sister who was a top student by her side. She felt that if she left Shen Yao, they would be in chaos again.

"Yes, Yaoyao, you are so nice. If I were a man, I could marry you home directly." Xue Xiaoxue lay on the table with a distressed look on her face.

Alas, why didn't her mother give birth to her as a boy? If she was a boy, she could have pursued Yaoyao.

Look at how good Yaoyao is. Not only is she pretty, she is also very good at studying. She cooks delicious meals and has beautiful handwriting. Where can you find such an all-round wife?

After hearing what Xue Xiaoxue said, Shen Yao felt that this girl was really stupid. She didn't know if her parents would beat her with a broom after hearing what their daughter said.

She smiled sweetly at the three of them and said, "Come on, you three, stop it. If you keep praising me like this, I'm going to be totally lost."

Just as they were about to discuss the topic, there was a sudden cry from behind.

A male student saw the person lying on the ground and immediately shouted in shock: "The class monitor has fainted..."

However, the other students in the class were very calm and seemed to be used to it.

We can't say they are cold-blooded, it's just that the current shortage of food and clothing is becoming more and more serious, and everyone has apparently become accustomed to seeing people fainting.

After Shen Yao and the other three heard the voice, they all turned around at the same time and saw the male student who usually had a good relationship with the class monitor rushing over instantly.

The two male students helped the monitor up, turned around and asked everyone, "Does anyone bring water? Please give the monitor some water."

"I have it here. I filled it with warm water this morning." Shen Yao opened the lid of her thermos, walked over quickly, and handed her thermos to the other party.

She took out two chocolates from her pocket, which were sent by the boss last time, and said, "Feed him two chocolates, it can replenish his strength." The other party was obviously starving.

She looked at the squad leader in front of her with his eyes closed. His face was pale and bloodless, and his limbs were so thin that they looked like they would break with a slight twist.

"Thank you! Thank you, classmate Shen!" Zhang Chaoyuan thanked with red eyes, and quickly peeled the chocolate and stuffed it into Xu Yang's mouth.

Zhang Chaoyuan and another male classmate helped Xu Yang to his seat. He was very angry and blamed that damn old woman. Xu Yang's father was obviously her son, but in her eyes, there was only that cold-blooded old son.

After Xu Yang digested the chocolate, he slowly opened his eyes.

Feeling the sweetness in his mouth, he asked Zhang Chaoyuan beside him: "Chaoyuan, I'm fine. Who gave me the candy just now?"

"Xu Yang, you're finally awake. It's the chocolate given to you by classmate Shen. She also gave you her boiled water to drink." Zhang Chaoyuan was relieved to see his friend wake up.

Fortunately, Xu Yang is fine, otherwise his mother and three younger siblings would be so sad. They all hoped that Xu Yang would be admitted to university and have a successful future.

Xu Yang looked at Shen Yao with a forced smile on his face, and said gratefully: "Student Shen, thank you for the boiled water and chocolate!"

"Don't be so polite. It's just that your health is too poor. You need to replenish your nutrition. Otherwise, if your body collapses, how will you take the college entrance examination?" Shen Yao reminded kindly.

She had an impression of Xu Yang. He always had good grades and worked very hard just to be admitted to the military academy and realize his ambition!

Xu Yang couldn't hold back his tears when he heard this, he also wanted to have a bowl of porridge for every meal, but his family was so poor that he had no choice.

Zhou Lingling felt uncomfortable watching this, so she ran to take out the vegetable balls she brought and stuffed them into Xu Yang's hands, "Class monitor, this is for you to eat, otherwise you won't have the energy to continue the class later."

Xu Yang looked at the mixed grain vegetable ball in his hand and shook his head hurriedly to return it. "Student Zhou, I can't take it. I can only hold on for one more class."

"Why are you so hesitant? It's okay if I skip a meal. Just eat it up quickly." After Zhou Lingling said this, she stuffed the vegetable ball directly into the other person's mouth.

Xue Xiaoxue kindly advised, "Team Leader, just eat without worry. Lingling still has us. We can each give her some at noon."

"That's right, squad leader, you should eat quickly. We won't let Lingling go hungry." Shen Qiu nodded. She felt that if the other party didn't eat, she would pass out soon.

Seeing the other party's embarrassed expression, Shen Yao had to speak up: "Student Xu, you'd better eat quickly so that you can go to class. Zhou Lingling has three of us, and she won't be hungry. You should worry about yourself."

"Thank you! Thank you!" Xu Yang wiped his tears while eating. Even his classmates were willing to help him, so why were his grandmother and his uncle's family so heartless?

After school at noon, the four little sisters sat together for lunch. Because Zhou Lingling gave her lunch to Xu Yang, Shen Yao and the others each got a portion so they wouldn't have to go hungry.

Xue Xiaoxue munched on a mixed-grain steamed bun and sighed, "Ah, this Xu Yang is so pitiful. It's so unfortunate that he has such a biased grandmother."

Shen Yao usually seldom paid attention to other people's families. When she heard Xue Xiaoxue talking about it, she casually asked, "Xiaoxue, what's going on in Xu Yang's family?"

She still didn't understand. As a boy, Xu Yang had good grades, so shouldn't he be valued at home? Why did he become so hungry?

Xue Xiaoxue thought for a moment and answered in a low voice, "Xu Yang is the son of a martyr. His father died on the battlefield of the Korean War. His grandma favored his uncle's family and took away all the blood money, the house in the city, and Xu Yang's mother's job. She also drove his mother and the four siblings out. In the end, they had no choice but to find a shabby house to live in. His mother usually took on some loose goods to paste paper boxes to make a living."

Zhou Lingling took a bite of the biscuit and shook her head, saying, "It's unfortunate for Xu Yang to have a grandma like that. If he hadn't received a monthly subsidy for poor students in high school, plus the help of Teacher Yang and the others, he would have died a long time ago. So it's really not easy for him."

She also wanted to help, but food was scarce now, and her father's relatives from his hometown had just come to borrow food, so her family didn't have any extra food.
