Chapter 390: Do You Know Everything?

The second layer was filled with stir-fried meat with lettuce, the third layer was rice, and on top of it was tomato and egg soup. The bottom layer was pork rib soup.
The pork rib soup had more ribs than soup, and it was steaming hot.
Fang Xinyi retracted her gaze and whispered, “No, thank you. My mom cooked for me this morning.”
She took out her lunch box from the drawer on the table. She opened the lid and saw that there were still shredded potatoes and rice inside.
The only difference was that today’s shredded potatoes were bright in color. The crispy shredded potatoes were mixed with red and green peppers, looking quite appetizing.
“Wow, it looks delicious. Can I have a bite?” Ji Yuanyuan asked with a smile.
Fang Xinyi hesitated for a moment before pushing her lunch box in front of Ji Yuanyuan.
Ji Yuanyuan picked up a pair of chopsticks and took a big bite. She could not help but praise, “Delicious, really delicious.”
The taste was indeed not bad. It was sour and spicy.
“Then let’s eat together. You eat mine too.” As Ji Yuanyuan ate, he pushed the lunchbox that Li Xu had brought to Fang Xinyi.
Fang Xinyi looked at it and suddenly, tears fell.
“Do you know everything?”
Fang Xinyi was a smart child. She could sense Ji Yuanyuan’s abnormality today.
Ji Yuanyuan did not say anything. She was even more certain of her own thoughts.
She suddenly could not hold back her emotions. She turned around and hugged Ji Yuanyuan, “What should we do? 1 don’t have a father anymore…”
Her words made Ji Yuanyuan’s eyes tear up and she almost cried.
No one could comfort her in such a situation.
Things like how the dead turned into stars and looked at you from the sky, and how only being forgotten were complete death. Those were all words used to comfort children.
She stretched out her hand and gently patted Fang Xinyi’s back, saying, “You have to take good care of yourself. That’s what your father wants too, right?”
A moment later, Fang Xinyi nodded her head vigorously.
She raised her hand and touched the corner of her eye. She picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
Not only did she finish all the food that she brought, but she also finished all the food that Ji Yuanyuan brought.
She probably hadn’t eaten well for the past two days.
From what the teacher meant, even Fang Xinyi’s grandparents did not care about her. Presumably, other relatives would also avoid her as much as possible. And her mother was busy with her funeral. She probably didn’t even have the time to be sad, let alone care about her.
After dinner, Fang Xinyi picked up her lunch box and wanted to wash it.
“No need to wash it,” Ji Yuanyuan stopped her, “I’ll take it home to wash it tonight.”
She closed the lunch box and placed it beside her.
The students had also finished eating and came back one after another.
Ji Yuanyuan extended his hand toward Fang Xinyi and whispered, “Let’s go to the field and take a walk?”
Fang Xinyi hesitated for a moment before reaching out to hold Ji Yuanyuan’s hand.
The two of them held hands and soon arrived at the field.
The weather outside was a little cold, so Ji Yuanyuan hid her hands in her sleeves.
“Yuanyuan, thank you!” Fang Xinyi suddenly spoke.
Ji Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment before waving her hand, “What are you thanking me for? 1 didn’t do anything.”
“You’ve done quite a lot.” Fang Xinyi lowered her head and said in a low voice, “The other students know that my family’s financial situation isn’t good, so they don’t like to interact with me. Only you treat me well.”
“Why do you care about them? As the saying goes, don’t bully the poor. Although your current conditions are worse than theirs, you’re better at studying than them. You’ll definitely be better than them in the future.”
Fang Xinyi nodded, “Yes, I’ll definitely study hard. I can’t let you and Teacher down. Also, my mother. I must let her live a good life in the future.”
After a pause, she sniffed, “My mother said that people like us only have the chance to change our destiny if we study hard. Otherwise, I’ll be like my father in the future, working hard at construction sites. If I’m not careful, I might even lose my life.”
Hearing her words, Ji Yuanyuan felt a little bitter in her heart, “It’s good that you think that way.”
The two of them walked around the field again and again until it was time for cla.s.s before they returned to the cla.s.sroom.
From that day onwards, Ji Yuanyuan would stay behind to have lunch with Fang Xinyi every day.
Of course, lunch was delivered by Li Xu.
However, Fang Xinyi still insisted on bringing food every day. The two of them shared the food together, and the food was eaten clean every day.
In order not to make Fang Xinyi feel embarra.s.sed, Ji Yuanyuan would deliberately ask Fang Xinyi some questions every day.
Fang Xinyi answered patiently.
Gradually, Fang Xinyi seemed to have walked out of the pain of losing her loved ones, and she became more cheerful.
However, the warmth Ji Yuanyuan gave Fang Xinyi was limited.
Their family had already decided to move to the city the next year.
On the day of the holiday, after learning of this news, although Fang Xinyi was a little disappointed, she still forced a smile and said, “I’ll give you my address. If you come back in the future, you can come to my house to play with me.”
As she spoke, she tore out a piece of paper from her school bag and wrote down her home address before handing it to Ji Yuanyuan.
Looking at the paper, Ji Yuanyuan carefully put it away, “Yes, 1 must go if 1 have the chance. Also, you must study hard. In the future, we might have the opportunity to go to the same high school.”
If Fang Xinyi’s academic performance was good enough, she would be a hot potato that many schools would fight for when she entered high school in the future.
At that time, she might be able to go to school in the city.
At that time, it was not impossible for them to go to the same school.
Fang Xinyi nodded solemnly.
As the two of them were talking, Fang Xinyi’s eyes suddenly lit up.
“Mommy, I’m here!” she waved in a certain direction.
Ji Yuanyuan followed Fang Xinyi’s gaze and saw Mother Fang carrying the luggage bag from before and walking over quickly.
Ji Yuanyuan was afraid Fang Xinyi’s mother would feel awkward when she saw them, so she quickly bid farewell to Fang Xinyi.
Taking advantage of the start of the winter vacation, Li Xu began to pack up with the whole family.
They planned to move there before the New Year. Anyway, they had already paid the heating fees there. It would be a waste not to stay there.
Most importantly, Qin Xiaomin brought Li Nian over to sit for a long time yesterday. When the two of them were chatting, Qin Xiaomin’s words gave her an idea.
Zixuan grades had always been good since he was young, especially when it came to math. He had almost always scored full marks on countless exams.
Furthermore, he seemed to like math a lot.
When he had pocket money, he would buy books.
Unlike Ji Zi’ang, who liked to buy martial arts novels, she almost always bought math books.
In the past, Li Xu was quite contented. No matter where Ji Zixuan went, his academic results were always among the best.
She didn’t have any requirements for the child, so she didn’t think too much about it.
Qin Xiaomin reminded her yesterday.
Since he had this talent and was interested, he might as well train him in this aspect..
