After Yao Dongqing finished preparing breakfast, she placed the stir-fried dried radish on the table and also heated up the leftovers from yesterday's banquet.
Then she said to Li Xue'e, "Go and wake Dasheng up for dinner, and also see if Dasheng's father is awake."
Li Xue'e stood up: "Oh..."
She came out of the kitchen, walked into the living room, and shook Yuan Dasheng on the bed: "Get up, your mother is calling you to have breakfast, get up."
Yuan Dasheng remained curled up and motionless. Li Xue'e shook him several times before she finally woke him up.
He sat up and rubbed his face, looking completely bewildered.
Seeing that he had gotten up, Li Xue'e turned around and knocked on Yuan Xiangyong's door: "Dad, are you awake?"
Yuan Xiangyong's voice came from inside the room: "Yes, he's awake."
Li Xue'e then added, "Breakfast is ready."
"Okay, you guys eat first," Yuan Xiangyong replied.
Li Xue'e immediately went out, looked around, and found that Yuan Mengge was nowhere to be seen.
She looked around in confusion before walking into the kitchen and saying to Yao Dongqing, "Mom, I've already eaten."
Upon hearing this, Yao Dongqing looked at her in confusion: "Huh? You've eaten? When did you eat? I just finished cooking this rice."
Li Xue'e, holding the cup she had just placed down, said, "Pingping went to town early this morning and bought me some steamed buns."
Upon hearing this, Yao Dongqing stopped what she was doing, turned to look at her, and asked in confusion, "What? She went to town? And she still has money to buy steamed buns from outside?"
Li Xue'e looked blank: "I don't know, but she did buy steamed buns from town, and they were still hot."
Yao Dongqing asked again, "How many did she buy? Was it just for you?"
Li Xue'e said, "Two steamed buns and a cup of milk coffee. I've eaten one bun, and I haven't had the other one yet. Mom, do you want some?"
Upon hearing this, Yao Dongqing's expression darkened, and she shook her head: "No, you keep it for yourself."
But a strange thought lingered in my mind: Where did that girl get the money? Why does she only buy things for a stranger and not for us?
The more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I feel.
Yuan Mengge worked until her hands were sore and she could no longer move, so she put the stone down.
Turning her head, she saw Duoduo tilting its head and looking at her with a puzzled expression.
Yuan Mengge walked over, covered in sweat, and sat down on the stone platform next to it, then patted its head.
After resting for a while, she got up and walked to the front yard.
At this moment, Yuan Dasheng and the other two were eating in the kitchen.
As she walked past the door, only Yuan Xiangyong called out to her, "Where did you go without eating breakfast? Come and eat quickly, and after you finish eating, help move the tables and chairs to return them to their owners."
The tables and chairs used for yesterday's banquet were borrowed from other people in the village, and they should have been returned to them last night.
But various things happened yesterday that made them forget about it, and by the time they remembered, it was already dark, so they had to wait until today.
Yuan Mengge: "I've already eaten, I'll move it later."
He then went back to his room.
After returning to the house, I took a towel hanging behind the door and wiped my face and neck.
I saw Li Xue'e sitting at her desk, reading a storybook.
Yuan Mengge walked over and suddenly saw the junior high school textbooks piled up on the table.
This is from the first semester of the third year of junior high school; the next semester will start soon.
Moreover, given Yuan Pingping's grades, even if she wanted to continue her studies, she wouldn't be able to get into high school.
As for Yuan Mengge's own learning ability...
She suddenly looked at Li Xue'e beside her: "Sister Xue'e!!! Help me... with my grades!"
Li Xue'e looked up: "Huh???"
That's right, Yuan Mengge's own reading ability is not very good, only average.
Her talent lies entirely in sports.
My reading ability is just average, at the level of a mediocre student.
Yuan Mengge quickly took out Yuan Pingping's textbook from last semester, flipped through it, and then her face fell.
Not to mention that she wasn't good at reading to begin with, the content of the textbooks from the 1990s was also quite different from what she had learned back then.
She needs to catch up.
The next semester will start in just a few days.
“I… want to improve my grades, I want to take the high school entrance exam!” she said, looking at Li Xue’e.
Although she's not good at studying, her mother is.
Li Xue'e was very good at studying and had excellent grades.
If her family hadn't been so financially constrained, and if her maternal grandfather hadn't been so sexist, she could have gone to university.
Upon hearing this, Li Xue'e laughed and said, "Oh...that's fine. I'll teach you."
Faced with this dilemma, Yuan Mengge silently asked the system in her mind: 'System, are there any items that can improve my learning ability?'
[Learning Intelligence Capsule: Its function is to enhance the host's memory and comprehension abilities.]
Yuan Mengge asked curiously, "Enhance? How much?"
Two hundred times.
Yuan Mengge thought for a moment, not quite understanding the concept of two hundred times: 'Could you give an example? What level does two hundred times mean?'
[These textbooks on the table are so easy to understand. You can understand 100% of them after just one look, and you can fully comprehend and digest 200% of them after just one explanation.]
'That's amazing? How much experience points can you get by exchanging it?' Upon hearing that this thing could be understood and digested 200% after just one explanation, Yuan Mengge's eyes lit up.
[Direct redemption requires 2000 experience points, while a single lottery draw costs 500 experience points with a 10% chance of winning.]
Yuan Mengge: '2000? That's way too many!'
She only has a little over 600 experience points right now, she's still more than 1,000 short.
And there's another problem: 'By the way, system, if I use these points, will my previously gained level drop?'
【Won't.】
Great, it won't fall off.
After breakfast, my second sister, Yuan Shasha, and her husband came back to help.
The eldest sister didn't come back. Although she lives not far away, Yuan Xiangxiang has two young children to take care of, so it's inconvenient for her to come back.
The family finished up the remaining work from yesterday, with some moving tables, some moving stools, and others carrying pots and pans.
They were sent back to other families in the village.
Some villagers also lent their belongings to their families for their banquets, and sent their own family members to pick them up.
The whole family was busy all morning, making several trips to return the items before they were all returned.
Li Xue'e followed Yuan Mengge. She had just married into the village and was unfamiliar with it.
Yuan Mengge grew up in this village. Although the generations are different now, she is still familiar with it.
It's just that changing one's tune is a bit difficult.
Yuan Mengge took her around to meet people, and when she saw someone she knew, she couldn't help but call out to them as she used to. Only after she had finished calling out to them did she realize that something was wrong.
This left Li Xue'e somewhat bewildered, and she looked at her with a strange expression.
By the time we finished moving all these things, it was almost noon.
Yao Dongqing started making lunch, with Yuan Shasha helping.
The three men were sitting in the living room, watching TV and drinking tea.
