Chapter 10: The Jianghu



She exhaled gently again, then lay flat on the wooden bed. The bed was a bit hard, but it was covered with two layers of mattresses, and even the quilt cover was washed clean. She pulled up a corner of the quilt and put it under her nose. There was a smell of laundry detergent and the smell of sunlight.

It was the scent of her mother, something she hadn't smelled in a long time.

She closed her eyes and woke up and fell asleep all night. She had many dreams, one after another. One moment she was in the hospital in her previous life, half-dead and looking like a skeleton. The next moment she was in the Tianyuan Continent where she lost one of her soul. All the memories came flooding back to her mind, as if they were being forced into her brain. When she opened her eyes again, the sky outside was already dimly lit.

She sat up and ran her hands through her hair.

It's really not easy. The memories of three lives are stuffed into her head, but she can still distinguish them clearly.

There were a few crisp bird calls outside, and the sound of roosters crowing could also be heard. It had the simplicity and naturalness unique to this era. Later, with the highly developed technology, the purity of nature was lost.

The clean air, the crisp chirping of birds, and the rustling sound of the leaves in the wind. She leaned against the window and could vaguely see some early risers cleaning the yard, as well as the faint sounds of hawking.

These are all early risers, and life is not easy for them.

She closed her eyes, exhaled gently, and then sat down, feeling the slight throbbing sensation hidden in her fingertips. Although it was only a tiny feeling, she believed that if she was given a few more years, even if she could not reach the level of her previous life's skills, it would still be of great help to her in the future. From now on, she already knew what she was going to do.

With a sound of bell, the alarm clock on the bedside table rang, and Zhou Lanping woke up with a start. She grabbed the alarm clock. Because she had to correct homework at night, she slept late, so it was no wonder that she woke up late. In the past, she should have gotten up early.

She didn't have time to think too much. Her body's instinctive reaction was faster than her brain. She quickly put on her clothes and ran to the kitchen. Otherwise, it would be later in the evening and her ancestor would get angry again. It was okay if he got angry, but what if he refused to eat? He was still a child.

No matter what others say about Liu Jing, no matter how many faults she has, in Zhou Lanping's heart, she is just a child, a child she owes. She only gave birth to her but never raised her. Who knows what kind of hardships she must suffer in someone else's home.

Otherwise, how could such a wealthy family allow their daughter Jingjing to cook so deliciously at such a young age? It would take someone who has been in the kitchen for ten years to have such good cooking skills.

But when she hurriedly put on her clothes and came out, one of her shoes fell off. When she opened the door, the lights outside were on and the meal was already on the table.

There were steaming dumplings, a plate of thinly shredded potatoes, and a plate of pickles that they often ate. It was a habit, Zhou Lanping also cut potatoes and pickles herself, but why were the ones she cut not so thin and even?

She walked over stupidly, her eyes wide open, as if the food and dishes on the table were fake. But she would never think that these were made by the Snail Girl.

Liu Liang came out of the small kitchen, holding two bowls of porridge in her hands. Although she was fair, she was very thin. The clothes she wore were not as fancy as before, but much simpler. Like many children here, she was fair-skinned, but still ordinary.

She always thought that she was different from others. She was born to save the earth and the whole world. She was the reincarnation of a fairy from heaven. But in the end, she was nothing. She felt like a turtle. Not only did she shrink in her shell, but she was also covered by green clouds in the end.

He placed the bowls on the table, one for himself and one for Zhou Lanping.

She pushed the bowl towards Zhou Lanping.

"Mom, eat."

There are no extra words, and I can't say more. In the end, today will be better than yesterday, and tomorrow will be better than today.

Liu Jing had already picked up the chopsticks and started eating, and after taking a few bites, she couldn't help but raise her head again.

"Don't you want to eat?"

What's the point of looking at her? Can you fill your stomach by looking at her? She is not a fairy-like beauty. Even in the eyes of her mother, she looks like a flower, but you can't be satisfied by just looking at her, right?

"Eat, eat."

With tears in her eyes, Zhou Lanping picked up the bowl and started eating. She really felt that this was the most delicious porridge she had ever eaten in her life.

It was the first time she ate until her belly was full, the first time she felt a little full, and the first time she felt so satisfied after eating.

As soon as she put the bowl down, Zhou Lanping picked up the bowl on the table and rushed to the small kitchen, as if she was afraid that Liu Jing would take over her job. It was natural for a mother to prepare breakfast for her children in the morning. As a mother, she felt a little ashamed. It was not enough to let the child make breakfast for her, but did she have to let the child wash the bowl too?

Xu Jiajia had been raised by her side for twelve years, and she had never asked her to cook a meal or wash dishes. There was no reason for her, as a mother, to abuse her own daughter.

Zhou Lanping washed the dishes quickly. When she came out, Liu Jing was still sitting at the table. She glanced at the clock hanging on the wall. She should go to school as well. She had to prepare lessons in the morning. She was also thinking about teaching the students well and getting an excellent grade. Then she could get an extra bonus. Don't look at the fact that she teaches in an elementary school, but this elementary school is also full of gangsters.
