The day after moving, Tang Dagu was about to start cram school. Tang Shanzhi and Jinying decided to rent a shop to start a snack business. Tang Xiaoke had written several recipes for Jinying. Hot and sour noodles and tofu pudding were Tang Xiaoke's favorites, as was cold noodles.
Jin Ying's cooking skills are on par with Tang Xiaoke's, who has intermediate cooking skills. When she has a recipe and works diligently, don't underestimate any housewife who has been cooking for decades. Especially with a daughter who's picky about food and a husband with completely different tastes.
Tang Shanzhi and Jinying were busy with the snack shop, Tang Dagu had to go to cram school again, and Tang Xiaoke stayed at home. So, he had more time to study the system.
'Ding Dong, today's red envelope has been delivered, do you want to open it?'
'Open'
'The red envelope has been opened. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the primary bamboo flute skill. It has been placed in the system space. The host has opened the red envelope for a month in a row. Do you want to open the monthly gift package now?'
"Open it." Another big gift package was coming, and Tang Xiaomai was eagerly waiting. Although she hadn't been able to use many of the goodies she had received this month, it didn't stop her from opening the gift packages.
Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Grandmaster Alchemy skill, the technique "Life of All Things," the innate treasure Qiankun Ding, and the Five-Zhuang Temple (containing a ginseng fruit tree).
"Oh my God, this red envelope system will not give me all the ten innate spiritual roots of the prehistoric world, right? Although I can't use them for the time being, it makes me happy just looking at them." This month, because of the dual effects of the primary gene optimization liquid and the body-building liquid, I have been practicing Tai Chi for the past half month.
So Tang Xiaoke's height has reached 160cm, and her weight is 45kg. Her hair is black and shiny, her skin is as white as jade, and her facial features have become more refined, especially her eyes, which have become bigger and her eyelashes have grown a lot. And because of the eye drops, her eyes are really as bright as autumn water and as bright as stars.
Moreover, Tang Xiaoke felt that his memory had become better. He couldn’t say that he had a photographic memory, but he could remember something after reading it two or three times.
"Knock knock." There was a knock on the door. Tang Xiaoke stood up and opened the door. Through the security door, she looked at Gu Can who was holding a box of snacks outside.
"Hello, I'm Gu Can who lives across the street. You must have just moved here. My mom asked me to bring some snacks over to say hello, but I overslept and came just now. I hope I didn't disturb you." Gu Can said a little embarrassedly.
"No, no, hello, my name is Tang Xiaoke. My parents are out. Please come in first." Tang Xiaoke is also a cultivator now, so she can naturally see that Gu Can is not a threat to her and is full of goodwill.
"Okay, Xiaoke, can I call you that?" Gu Can asked.
"Of course, we look about the same age." Tang Xiaoke nodded.
"Well, I'm twelve years old and my birthday is in March," said Gu Can.
"I am also twelve years old and my birthday is also in March. What a coincidence, my birthday is March 8th. What about you?" Tang Xiaoke said happily.
"I'm on the tenth day of the first lunar month, so we're only two days apart. What a coincidence! I'm going to junior high school right after the start of the semester, and I'm studying at Longmen Middle School. How about you?" Gu Can asked.
"I'm at Haitang Middle School. It seems we can't go to school together anymore." Tang Xiaoke felt a little regretful. Gu Can was really beautiful, with the kind of cute and adorable looks she had always loved, and a generous and likable personality.
"Then let's try to go to the same high school." The little girl and her friend quickly established a friendship. They'd already gained a lot from their first meeting. Gu Can had already brought his own textbooks over and started studying with her.
In the evening, Tang Shanzhi, Jinying and Tang Dagu came back and saw the snack boxes at home.
"It was sent by the neighbor across the street. Gu Can's birthday is only two days away from mine. Mom and Dad, you don't know, she is really cute, pretty and lovely, generous, and her academic performance is okay. She is simply perfect." Tang Xiaoke was completely conquered by Gu Can's personal charm in just one afternoon.
"Our Xiaoke is not bad either!" Jin Ying pinched her little nose.
"But we can't just accept gifts. Our neighbors are so thoughtful, so we can't just take in gifts without giving back. Only when there is give and take can the relationship become close. After the housewarming party tomorrow, I'll give them a return gift as well." Jin Ying said with a smile.
"Yeah." Tang Xiaoke nodded solemnly. Mom is really the best!
"Uncle, aunt, sister, Xiaowei. Uncle, third aunt, uncle, Shuyu" had already called all the relatives in the South District to come to the housewarming party. Tang Xiaoke had especially requested the invitation of her uncle's family, as it was during this summer that her uncle passed away from a cerebral hemorrhage, causing her cousin to drop out of school in the first grade.
This was her lifelong regret. Regardless of whether we could still be as close in the future, children with their fathers around always felt more secure. Tang Xiaoke poured water for everyone. She put the body-building liquid in her uncle's cup and the primary gene optimization liquid in her cousin Jinling's cup.
Seeing that they all drank it, Tang Xiaoke quietly breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that this time, there would be some changes.
They all congratulated Tang Xiaoke's family on buying the house. Jin Ying and the others naturally couldn't mention winning the lottery; they'd earned some money selling snacks and then taken out a loan to buy the house. These adults all had their parents attend social events.
Xiao Wei and Shu Yu were being entertained by Tang Dagu, so she only had to entertain Jin Ling, who wasn't that likable at the moment. However, Jin Ling seemed to have always been nice to her.
"Sister, this is for you." Tang Xiaoke took out a lucky bracelet from the red envelope. It was a silver four-leaf clover bracelet. It looked good, but it also had a special function: it could increase your luck by five points. Wearing it long-term could improve your health and enhance your appearance. While the effect was minimal, it was still useful.
"It looks good." Jin Ling said.
"Yeah, I have one too. Now we have sister bracelets. You should always wear them." Tang Xiaoke also wore a similar bracelet. However, hers was an automatic temperature-adjusting bracelet that warmed her in winter and cooled her in summer. She preferred this feature.
"Okay. Next time you come to my house, I'll pick peaches for you." Jin Ling was not polite.
"Okay." Tang Xiaoke expressed satisfaction with their first meeting after rebirth, and Jin Ling also had a great time. I hope I can avoid tragedy in this life. After lunch, they soon went home.
Over the next month, the snack shop's business gradually stabilized, with daily revenue of around 500 yuan. Jin Ying and Tang Shanzhi were busy, but they were happy with their work. Considering Tang Shanzhi's previous salary of only 300 yuan a month, considering his current income, it's clear that the business wasn't bad at all. The recipes Tang Xiao provided played a significant role.
The money-making was left to the two of them, and Tang Xiaoke was now studying hard. He wanted to complete compulsory education as soon as possible, fully activate the learning system, and equip his parents with a subsystem.
Every time you pass an exam in the learning system, you'll receive a reward. Rewards vary based on the pass, good, excellent, or perfect scores. Learning points are fixed rewards: a good score earns 100 points, an excellent score earns 300 points, and a perfect score earns 500 points.
