These days, Mr. and Mrs. Zhan also check the Zhan family's book collection to see if there is anything out of line, and they deal with many of them according to the strictest standards.
One day, Zhan Yuan'an became impatient with the escalating disturbance at school. They were students; couldn't they just focus on their studies?
But they all seem to be on a roll when it comes to causing trouble.
Because he had tasks assigned by his father, and his family didn't think what those people were doing was right, they didn't want him to participate much. But who knew that this would attract attention?
Fan Yunli tried hard to win the favor of the Zhan family, but unfortunately, the Zhan family was indifferent. The Zhan family had a strong academic atmosphere and was more pragmatic. Naturally, they could not develop a liking for Fan Yunli, who was so independent that she couldn't even tolerate her younger sister.
Because she has memories of the future, she knows that these people are causing trouble now but will not amount to anything in the future. However, they are the people she cannot afford to offend now, so she only shows them superficial friendship.
Among the most boisterous people was one who was in the same class as Fan Yunli. Xu Minghao had liked her for three years and knew that Fan Yunli liked Zhan Yuan'an, but Zhan Yuan'an was indifferent to her.
They had been planning to teach Zhan Yuan'an a lesson for a long time.
He only said a few words to provoke them, and this group of people who were already dissatisfied with Zhan Yuan'an's lack of involvement immediately chose the Zhan family as their target.
Xu Minghao was showing off to Fan Yunli with a smug look on his face: "I heard that the Zhan family has a lot of books. They're really a force to be reckoned with. I'll get revenge for you then."
After Xu Minghao became powerful, Fan Yunli sat in the classroom feeling uneasy. It was impossible for their petty antics to overthrow the Zhan family, but it was still troublesome for the Zhan family.
It will take two years before someone finds a pretext to send the entire Zhan family to the farm.
Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she felt that she had found a good opportunity. She originally thought of telling Zhan Yuan'an immediately so that he could get ready, but she sat down again after standing up.
No, she wants to wait until things get out of hand so she can finally experience the "shared hardship" phase.
*
Fan Xiaofan had no idea that her casual reminder had solved a major problem for the Zhan family. When she wanted to borrow the book, she had thought of one thing: having some inappropriate books at home was a serious crime.
Her tiny butterfly wings flapped away Fan Yunli's original plan, but she only learned about it much later from a letter sent by Zhan Yuan'an.
Nowadays, Fan Xiaofan is almost always engrossed in "Tiangong Kaiwu" (The Exploitation of the Works of Nature), but unfortunately, the volume he has is incomplete. Even though he can read it repeatedly and almost recite it from memory, he still finds it hard to hide his interest in the other volumes.
After Fan Xiaofan installed a washing machine in the house, Fu Weidong, being a man, immediately took on the household chore of doing the laundry.
Every day, his little legs would clatter around, collecting all the dirty clothes, then tossing them into the washing machine. With a sense of accomplishment, he'd press the button, and as the machine tumbled and churned inside, he'd obediently drag a small stool over, sitting on it in his adorable little way, his tiny paws supporting his chin...
This expression is a result of having seen Fan Xiaofan think so many times, and he has learned it perfectly.
He can now help take care of his sister, so he should keep up the good work.
At this moment, Fu Weidong was sitting on a small stool, propping his chin up as if he was in a daze, but in reality he was chatting with his adult self inside him.
"If you don't try to take my sister away from me anymore, I'll be a tiny bit nicer to you..."
He held up his little finger, making a very stingy gesture.
What followed was a sarcastic laugh from the adult Fu Weidong: "Sooner or later, this body will be mine."
The little dumpling erupted in anger: "Then you should never come out again..."
When Fan Xiaofan returned from the cafeteria with her food, she heard the little dumpling muttering something as soon as she entered the room. She asked, "What are you saying?"
The little dumpling immediately covered its mouth cutely and hurriedly shook its head rhythmically.
Fan Xiaofan twitched her lips and couldn't help but say, "You've shaken the water out of my head..."
The little dumpling blinked earnestly at her older sister and said, "Isn't it bad to have water in your brain? If I shake it all out, I'll become smarter."
Fan Xiaofan couldn't help but chuckle, tapping the little cutie's forehead and saying, "The human body is about 70% water. You're a child, so it's probably more than 80%. If you shake off all the water, you'll probably just be bones. Oh dear, that's terrifying."
Fu Weidong was so frightened that his eyes widened. He hurriedly covered his ears and tried to cover his mouth, but with only two hands, he was inevitably flustered and overwhelmed. His adorable expression of fearing the water would run out was quite endearing.
"No, no, no..."
"Come and eat."
She placed the food on the table, and Fu Weidong immediately forgot his earlier shock and busied himself getting the tableware.
The siblings mostly eat at the cafeteria, but occasionally they'll eat at home to satisfy their cravings, and usually the food they prepare is quite plentiful.
Look at the main dishes from the cafeteria, plus dried meat, honey water, and canned goods—it's delicious!
However, Fu Weidong took a sip of the honey water. Although it was sweet and delicious, he raised his little head and held the cup with his short hands: "Sister, soda tastes better."
"I can't even get my hands on those sugary drinks..."
All the things she made were stolen after they were frozen in the refrigerator.
Fu Weidong took a piece of jerky. Jerky was difficult for someone his age to chew, so he slowly held it to grind his teeth.
Seeing this, Fan Xiaofan couldn't help but facepalm and reached out to tell him to put it down first. After finishing his meal, he would use the dried meat as a snack to pass the time.
Fu Weidong no longer feels the same anxiety about food as before, fearing that if he eats too much, he won't have any more.
Fan Xiaofan from the Fan family also loves to eat. She earns a lot of money from her salary and various side incomes. Her family has all kinds of food that can be found in stores, and Secretary Wang and others will send her new things every now and then. Fan Xiaofan never goes hungry even if she doesn't eat staple food.
However, Fan Xiaofan still insists that people should eat staple foods, as it is good for their health.
Fu Weidong obediently ate the brown rice in his bowl, enjoying the canned meat and the bland cafeteria dishes with relish.
After the two finished eating, Fan Xiaofan would check Fu Weidong's literacy skills and then teach him more characters. Fu Weidong would obediently write characters on the side while Fan Xiaofan doodled on the paper with a pencil.
A table, two people, a cozy room.
Fu Weidong would steal a glance at Fan Xiaofan every now and then, and then couldn't help but chuckle to himself, before quickly covering his mouth when he realized he had made a sound.
He felt that things were really good right now.
In the blink of an eye, so much time has passed. He looked at a poplar tree outside the window, where most of the leaves had fallen. At this time last year, he was still being pushed and shoved by Tian Guoqing and his gang, not daring to cry or make a fuss, letting them play around, hoping that they would be in a better mood and give him a few more grains of rice at dinner.
But now, he has a warm home, family, and food he can eat as much as he wants.
How wonderful...
