Chapter 111 We Can’t Take Your Things Anymore
Think about the 22nd century, families are well-off, children can eat whatever they want, and children with standard body shapes are becoming increasingly rare. However, it is not an exaggeration to say that these children in the Yang family are skinny.
The youngest, Yang Xiu, poked her head out from behind Yang Tao. Although she was a little shy when she saw Shang Ruoting, she still called out obediently, "Sister Ruoting."
Shang Ruoting's heart melted when Yang Xiu called her like that. What a good child...
Yang Tao also greeted Shang Ruoting openly, while Yang Liu and Yang Xu stood there looking at her with silly smiles.
Shang Ruoting could see that these children were expressing their affection for her in different ways. She reached out and picked up Yang Xiu and sat him on her lap. Then she opened the backpack she brought and took out the things inside one by one.
"Yangmei, these are some snacks that Tan Chen and I brought back from the capital. I'm giving some to you to try."
Yang Mei quickly declined: "Ruoting, I appreciate your kindness, but such a good thing must cost a lot of money, I absolutely cannot accept it."
Seeing this, Yang Tao also stepped forward and said, "Sister Ruoting, you have helped my family enough. We can't take your things anymore."
Although Yang Liu and Yang Xu drooled at the sight of those things, they also spoke up for their two sisters: "Sister Ruoting, we can't take your things anymore."
Yang Xiu was young, and seeing so many delicious foods in front of her, she reached out to grab them, but was stopped by Yang Xu: "Xiu'er, these are Sister Ruoting's things, you can't take them."
Shang Ruoting looked helplessly at the stubborn siblings in front of her.
"Anyway, I brought everything with me. There's absolutely no reason for me to take anything back. At worst, I can just not bring anything here in the future."
Seeing Shang Ruoting's firm attitude, Yang Mei couldn't refuse anymore.
"Thank you, Ruoting. Please don't bring anything here in the future. I feel bad about it."
Shang Ruoting ignored her, picked up the preserved fruits and snacks and distributed them to the children. Finally, she stuffed a piece of snack into Yangmei's hand before telling her about wanting her to make tofu together.
At first, Yang Mei was a little bit unconvinced. After all, she hadn't heard anything about the team making tofu.
But seeing that Shang Ruoting didn't seem to be lying, she had to believe it.
Just as Yangmei was slowly digesting the good news, Yangtao next to her spoke first.
Her tone was very excited: "Sister, this is a good thing that Sister Ruoting applied for us. I've never heard of anyone in the team earning 20 work points in a day."
It was because of these twenty work points that Yangmei felt unreal and was always wandering around.
"Ruoting, can I really earn 20 work points a day?"
Shang Ruoting nodded affirmatively: "Yes."
Yang Mei hugged Shang Ruoting and said, "That's great, Ruoting. With twenty work points a day, at least our family won't be hungry anymore."
Shang Ruoting complained in her heart: In this era, work points are only useful at the end of the year. For the whole year, you have been living on twenty work points?
There's no way. After all, most people here are well-behaved and don't have those weird ideas. There are probably quite a few people who think like Yangmei.
They were happy at this time, and Shang Ruoting didn't intend to pour cold water on them by expressing her thoughts.
She looked at Yang Tao, then at Yang Liu and Yang Xu.
"Yangmei, Yangtao, and the others don't go to school?"
When Yang Mei heard Shang Ruoting ask this question, the smile on her face disappeared instantly.
"It's all my fault. After my parents passed away, the family relied on me to earn work points. Seeing that no one was looking after Yang Xiu, Yang Tao never went to school again."
"Yang Liu and Yang Xu continued their studies for another year. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but they often ran out of food at home. Sometimes they had nothing to eat in the morning, not to mention they had to bring lunch. Sometimes, they would go hungry all day."
"I'm so hungry, how can I concentrate on studying?"
"And so, neither of them went to school anymore."
Shang Ruoting looked at Yang Tao, Yang Liu and Yang Xu. When they heard about going to school, there was light in their eyes. She knew that they wanted to study in their hearts, but their family environment did not allow it, so no one showed it!
However, for Shang Ruoting, whose soul comes from the 22nd century, she believes that studying is very important. Regardless of whether she will achieve academic success in the future, at least she cannot be blind.
There will be opportunities everywhere in the country in the future. It would be a pity if we lose due to lack of culture.
"Yangmei, they are still young, they have to study hard."
When Yang Mei heard Shang Ruoting say this, she could no longer control her tears.
"Ruoting, I know all this. If I can really earn 20 work points a day in the future, I will definitely let them continue to go to school."
Shang Ruoting was speechless for a while. According to the original owner's impression, Yang Mei was not the kind of person who was slow to learn. She was probably forced by life and didn't dare to expect anything.
"Yangmei, before we start making tofu, take them to school! Talk to the school leaders and let them continue their studies."
"But..." Yangmei was still a little hesitant.
Shang Ruoting interrupted her: "Don't say but. Before the end of the year, I will lend you your family's food. You can pay me back when you exchange your work points for money and goods."
