Upon learning that the ham sausage pancake cost one yuan, the man adjusted his glasses and said somewhat awkwardly, "Never mind, I don't have enough money on me. I'll come back next time."

"Okay, it's okay. I'll make vegetables again tomorrow. Vegetables are cheaper, only 50 cents each."

The man nodded and rode away.

When Jiang Xuan got home, she took a sip of water and began patching the wound.

Besides the four extra pancakes she delivered to Wang Xiuli and the others today, she also had to make some for selling pancakes tomorrow.

If you give away two pancakes for every one pancake you make, you'll need to prepare 40 pancakes.

She plans to make 50, and also make a bag for the young woman who ordered the pancake.

I have to pick up Dian Dian Fan Xing in the afternoon, and then cook dinner for the two kids in the evening.

Moreover, Yang Shuying and her family are coming today.

Previously, Lu Pei'an had asked Lu Shengye to drive her to pick up people, but Lu Shengye is currently on a mission, and she is too lazy to take a bus ride of several hours to pick them up.

I'll just leave it at that.

Jiang Xuan found some fabric and chalk and started drawing patches.

Around noon, Lu Xiaomei arrived.

Jiang Xuan was eating a pancake while pedaling the sewing machine.

Lu Xiaomei, carrying two peaches and several test papers, greeted, "Sister Xuanxuan, I'm here! Have you eaten?"

"I'm busy today, so I'll just have a guanbing (a type of Chinese pancake)."

"Then I'll wash a peach for you. This peach is from out of town, and it's quite delicious."

"Okay, thank you, little sister." Jiang Xuan's eyes were fixed on the sewing machine. "By the way, little sister, you said you didn't know how to do a few questions today. Give them to me and I'll take a look."

Lu Xiaomei quickly took out the unit test papers for math, physics, and chemistry, and she checked off a few questions for each subject.

Jiang Xuan temporarily stopped what he was doing, ate a peach, and helped her analyze the problem.

It's clear that this girl has really started to study hard.

The exam paper was covered with dense writing, and similar questions were marked.

"That's it, little sister. You're going to be a senior in high school soon. Don't try to find multiple solutions to a problem. For the same type of problem, stick to one solution and master that one solution."

"And for the multiple-choice questions, don't just calculate blindly, that will take up a lot of time. There are actually techniques for answering multiple-choice questions, but I don't have time today, I'll explain them to you in detail later."

"Also, the learning progress must be strictly in accordance with the plan we have set, and we cannot be lazy."

"Okay, HyunHyun, I feel like I have a lot more energy lately. I stay up late every night, but I'm not sleepy at all during the day."

Jiang Xuan smiled and said, "That's because you've gained the motivation to study. But staying up late all the time isn't good either; you should go to bed early at night."

"It's okay. I've already fallen behind in my studies, so I'll just have to spend more time to catch up with others."

Jiang Xuan didn't say anything more.

Which student preparing for exams hasn't stayed up all night?

Even if the original owner of this body had been admitted to Ningzhou University with the highest score in the county, it wouldn't have been an easy admission.

She often reads late into the night.

She herself got into a top-tier university, and she suffered a lot back then.

Everyone goes through this.

"Also, I kicked Lu Tingting out too," Lu Xiaomei said smugly.

"Is she living in the house that Dian Dian and Fan Xing used to live in?"

"Yes, and then they moved all her things over there. Did you see her mother's face? It was practically green as a watermelon."

As the two were chatting, someone outside suddenly called out "Sister-in-law".

Jiang Xuan walked out of the courtyard.

Outside the door, a dark-skinned soldier stood at attention and saluted. "Hello, sister-in-law. Platoon Leader Lu asked me to drive you to the station to pick someone up today. This is for you."

As he spoke, the soldier handed a letter to Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan opened the letter and saw only a few words: Pick up the person normally, and do not alert the enemy.

A warm feeling welled up in her heart.

He's so good; he even thought about her while on a mission.

She quickly asked, "Comrade, where is Platoon Leader Lu now?"

"Reporting to Sister-in-law, the platoon leader's mission information is a military secret, and I cannot disclose it to you."

The fact that Lu Shengye was suddenly assigned this urgent task in the middle of the night must mean that it was very important.

Jiang Xuan understood.

But that's precisely why she felt this was definitely not the routine task Lu Shengye had mentioned.

In addition, her eyelid kept twitching, which made her very worried.

Her only hope now is that he will come back safely.

She nodded and asked, "How long does it take to get to the station from here?"

"Expected to take one hour."

Is there usually traffic congestion?

"There will be some traffic near the train station. The hour I just mentioned has already been extended by this time."

"Okay, let's leave at four o'clock. Can I wait for you at the entrance of the courtyard then?"

"Okay, I will arrive on time."

After the soldier left, Jiang Xuan went to the house.

"Little sister, could you pick up Diandian and Fanxing for me this afternoon? I need to go to the station."

Why are you going to the station?

"My family is coming, I'll go pick them up."

"How are you going to get there? It's quite far from the train station."

"Your brother arranged for soldiers to take me to the station."

"By the way, HyunHyun-sister, why did hyung suddenly go on a mission? Wasn't he granted leave?"

Jiang Xuan sighed, "I don't know either. He was only notified last night."

Hearing Jiang Xuan sigh, Lu Xiaomei comforted her, "Sister Xuanxuan, don't worry, your brother will be back soon. Are you hungry? How about I take you out to get something to eat?"

"No need, I just ate some pancakes and peaches, I'm not hungry at all."

"By the way, HyunHyun-jie, how did your pancake sales go today?"

Jiang Xuan pointed to the empty baskets on the ground, "They've all been sold. Of course, two were given away."

Lu Xiaomei's eyes widened. "Wow, that's amazing! It sold out on the first day? Sister Xuanxuan, you really are something else, you can do anything!"

She gave a thumbs up.

"We only sold eight today, it's nothing."

"So how many do you plan to sell tomorrow?"

"I'll make vegetables tomorrow. Ham sausages are expensive, and many people are unwilling to spend the money."

Jiang Xuan thought for a moment, "I'll sell twenty tomorrow. By the way, little sister, if you have time this afternoon, could you help me make some packaging bags?"

"It's possible, but I'm clumsy and I'm afraid I won't do it well."

"No, I'll teach you. By the way, do you know how to make paste?"

Lu Xiaomei shook her head shyly.

"Then I'll cook the paste for you first. I'm out of white paper here, so could you please go to the store and buy me a few sheets later?"

As she spoke, Jiang Xuan took out a dollar, "Let's buy ten."

"Oh, Hyun-hyun, why are you always being so polite with me? Just leave this to me."

"Alright then, I'll save you a pancake for tomorrow."

"OK."

Jiang Xuan stood up, preparing to cook the paste first.

In the kitchen, Zhang Guiying was chopping potatoes.

When she saw Jiang Xuan come in, she didn't say anything, but turned her face to the side, clearly not wanting to talk to Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan didn't intend to talk to her either.

She quickly finished making the paste and went out.

Just as I stepped out of the kitchen, I ran into Ma Xiaolan, who was returning home from get off work.
