After dinner, the teenagers went to the classroom to do their homework.
Chen Cui called Mu Erpang aside to talk alone, and told him to take better care of Cui Fei in life.
Speaking of which, first it was Mei Ruochu and now it is Cui Fei. Mu Erpang has always had heavier responsibilities than other young people in the academy.
Chen Cui also felt a little sorry for him, thinking that he had to study hard on his own while also sharing all these responsibilities with her.
But when he met his mother's distressed eyes, Mu Erpang patted his chest and said, "I am the young master of Cuiwei. It is my duty to do what I can! Besides, A Fei and I get along best, and I know best the many inconveniences that fat people have in life. Even if mother doesn't say it, I will do it."
Seeing how sensible he was, Shen Cui didn't need to say anything more and went to the classroom with him.
Cui Fei's desk was also delivered today, and Shen Cui moved her own desk back so that she and Lao Buyu could see all the students from the front and back.
The workers came early this morning and were busy until the evening. The time gain had not been used yet, so Shen Cui turned on the gain after she came over.
After the enhancement took effect, the boys finished their homework one after another, and it was still very early.
Cui Fei was experiencing this for the first time and was not quite used to it. He looked at the clepsydra in surprise and said, "Usually I would go to bed after finishing my homework at home. Why is it so early today?"
After saying that, he glanced out the window at the night scene with shadows of trees, and felt a little scared again - could it be that kind of thing?
Cui Wu Niang did not mention the "haunted house" to the old man. If she mentioned it, the old man would probably be worried, but many servants in the Cui family knew this.
Especially Cui Fei's servant, who was very mysterious and stuffed a lot of amulets on him.
Cui Fei had been to Cuiwei several times, and everything was fine, so he didn't believe it.
But the servant said, "Young Master, you may not know that those things are usually fine, but they only appear when it is dark. We are just prepared, there are only a few pieces of paper, and it won't take much effort for you to carry them with you."
With the servant's insistence and Cui Wuniang's tacit consent, Cui Fei actually carried a bag of amulets.
On the other side, Mu Erpang only needed to give his homework to Lao Buyu for comments, and he would hand it in after he finished writing it.
When he came down, he found that Cui Fei looked strange, so he approached him and asked him softly if he was hungry.
The amulet was in Cui Fei's inner pocket on his chest. He was holding it with a conflicted look on his face, as if he was hungry and was worried.
After Mu Erpang's reminder, Cui Fei finally remembered that he didn't eat much for dinner today. Usually, after finishing his homework at home, he would be starving.
I really don’t feel hungry today.
Cui Fei released his hand that was covering the amulet again. He felt that he had figured it out - because the Mu family had a "secret recipe" for keeping fit, he would not easily get hungry when eating the food cooked by the headmaster.
Now that you’re no longer hungry, you’ll naturally be more focused, and your homework efficiency will naturally be higher! Don’t scare yourself!
After thinking it through, Cui Fei shook his head and said no, "I'm just usually hungry, but today I wasn't hungry, and I felt a little weird."
"There's nothing strange in our academy," Wei Shu turned around. As the publicity ambassador of the academy's 'feng shui treasure land', he gave Cui Fei a detailed explanation.
If others had just arrived, they would definitely think that he was exaggerating, and might even raise questions. According to Wei Shu's words, the Feng Shui treasure land should be the old house in Shuiyun Village. How could it not be this "haunted house"?
But Cui Fei was simple-minded and believed them. He believed whatever they said and even helped to add: "I used to stay at home and read a lot of miscellaneous books. The so-called 'feng shui' refers to the system of land veins, directions of mountains and rivers. But in fact, I think the core of feng shui is the harmony between man and nature. Although the academy has changed its address, this 'harmony' is still there, so 'feng shui' is still there."
Shen Cui was a little stunned after hearing what he said. She really didn't think it could be explained this way.
So she kept the words in mind, thinking that if someone asked her about "Feng Shui" next time, she would recite them verbatim.
After the evening class was over, the young men washed up and went to bed.
It was still a little cold at night in the late autumn and early winter, but young people have hot bodies, and the five of them were sleeping next to each other, so there was no need to heat up the kang right away.
This was the first time Cui Fei had lived outside in his life, and he thought he would feel a little uncomfortable. Yesterday, Cui Wu Niang told him a lot of things, one of which was that she was worried that he would not be able to sleep at night after suddenly changing his place.
But today he first attended classes at the provincial school throughout the day, and then did homework and attended night classes in the evening. Afterwards, he chatted with Mu Erpang and the others for a while, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
When he slept at home, he would wake up hungry in the middle of the night every day. With his physique, he definitely couldn't have any midnight snack, so he just drank water to endure it.
When he got here, he found the feng shui was very good and he slept till dawn.
It was not until Chen Cui blew the whistle outside that he climbed up with his eyes dazed.
As he climbed up, Cui Fei realized something was wrong - it was actually very difficult for him to get up, and he usually needed his servant and boy to help him move when he was at home.
I hadn't thought of this before, but now that I thought of it, I was so embarrassed that I wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
Mu Erpang woke up earlier than him. He put on his clothes and tied his hair skillfully. When he saw Cui Fei woke up, he didn't say a word and started to help.
Seeing this, the others naturally offered a helping hand. Having been together for so long, the boys had a tacit understanding and a clear division of labor. Some pulled his arms, some pushed his back, and they quickly got him up.
After helping him, they quickly found a topic to talk about. Mu Erpang said he didn't know what to eat for breakfast today.
Ever since Zhou left, Chen Cui only cooked porridge or noodles every morning. Now that she has a capable helper like A Yao, breakfast will definitely be richer than before.
Cui Fei didn't have a chance to thank him, so he continued, "Ayao can make ramen noodles. They are thinner than a hair and paired with the soup that was boiled overnight. It's delicious!"
Mu Erpang was skeptical, "Do you smell the fragrance?"
Cui Fei certainly didn't, he just smiled and said: "Because I like to eat noodles in the morning when I'm at home, this is enough to satisfy my hunger."
"I've never eaten noodles thinner than a hair, all thanks to our A Fei."
As he spoke, Mu Erpang bent down and put his shoes on his feet. Cui Fei was really embarrassed to ask him to help him put on his shoes.
Mu Erpang said, what’s the big deal?
"Three years ago, I also had trouble putting on my shoes by myself, so my mother helped me. Now that I'm thinner, I don't get that kind of treatment anymore. So you should cherish the time you have to be served by others now. When you become as thin as me, you won't have the chance to be served by others!"
While he was talking, Mu Erpang had already helped him put on his shoes. Still not giving him the chance to thank him, he urged everyone to hurry up and clean up. If it was too late, don't blame him for being "heartless" and eating up everyone's food!
Thinking of the grand scene of everyone scrambling for food at the dinner table yesterday, even Cui Fei was infected by the atmosphere and quickly got off the kang.
The breakfast that followed was indeed Cui Fei’s favorite ramen, which was hot and refreshing, and everyone ate a big bowl.
Cui Fei only ate half a bowl - he had just stayed in Cuiwei for one night, but he had already caused too much trouble for everyone. He was really afraid that if he ate too much, the Mu family's "slimming secret recipe" would become ineffective.
Later, Shen Cui gave him another half bowl and told him to eat a normal amount. Only then did Cui Fei eat a few more bites.
…
Ever since Cui Fei came, Shen Cui upgraded the academy to level 4, and the daily reward became 80 points.
The medicine for treating heart disease is the same as the lung disease medicine that Wei Xi took before, costing 50 points a day, and there has been no price increase.
That is to say, there is still some surplus every day, and Chen Cui saves the surplus shopping points to deal with the occasional cooking needs.
A month and a half passed like this, and the system showed that Cui Fei's not particularly serious heart disease had healed, so Shen Cui changed Cui Fei's "schedule".
Cui Fei didn’t participate in morning exercises before, but now that his heart disease has healed, he can participate in all kinds of sports except those involving jumping.
Cui Fei was really well-behaved and obedient. When Shen Cui didn't let her join in, he just stood aside and watched everyone practice. Now that he changed his tone and allowed him to participate, he just followed the instructions and did not ask any more questions.
He had been in Cuiwei for more than a month. Although he had not participated in any sports during this month, he still ate and drank according to his previous intake. Chen Cui also focused on treating his heart disease first, and rarely took the initiative to prepare systematic food for him.
But as the system said, Cuiwei Academy is outside the laws. Just being here, the influence of the power of the laws will slowly weaken on him.
Therefore, Cui Fei has begun to lose weight at a slow pace. Shen Cui can clearly see his specific values through the system - his weight has dropped from 160kg to 155kg, and his physical condition has finally stabilized at the passing line due to the recovery of his heart disease.
Ten pounds of fat on someone else would definitely be very obvious, but for someone as heavy as him, it's really nothing. In addition, his robes were particularly loose, and the other people in Cuiwei were with him day and night, so no one except Chen Cui noticed his changes.
Moreover, the young men's attention was also elsewhere at this time - after Laba Festival next month, the annual examination would be held in the prefectural school!
Mei Ruochu wanted to maintain his title of first-class student on government stipend that he had obtained by ranking first in the academy examination, while Wei Shu and Wei Xi also wanted to strive for a good ranking - first-class students on government stipends were given cash subsidies and rice, but these were nothing in their eyes; what mattered most was the honor!
Cui Fei was not tired of studying. He had not come to class earlier because he was bullied by his classmates in the provincial school.
But at the same time, he himself did not care much about gains and losses. Even when he was with Mu Yunchuan in the past, he had wanted to be on par with him, but his goal was still to pass.
But now his thoughts changed. The students in Cuiwei were all excellent, and everyone wanted to be the best. If he still managed to pass the exam, wouldn't he be lowering the overall level of Cuiwei students with his own efforts?
So Cui Fei not only went to the provincial school to report every day, but also began to study hard.
During breaks in the government school, the instructor would occasionally come over to check on the students.
Seeing that Cui Fei seemed like a different person, the instructor who had specially reminded him not to take fake papers casually felt relieved. What's more, he praised him in front of everyone, saying "this boy is teachable".
The professors and instructors at the prefectural school are usually very frugal with their words, and the only people they can praise in public are geniuses like Mu Yunchuan and Mei Ruochu.
Some people couldn't help but feel resentful that someone like Cui Fei could still receive praise from him.
