Becoming a top student in the literature of the era

Chapter 24

In the next few days, when Yang Ci was studying with Xie Yanqing, he would be pulled by the old man for training from time to time. In addition, when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, he was growing taller. After exercising a lot, he would eat more and get hungry faster.

That day, the old man watched him run twice, and then when he squatted outside the cowshed and strode, Yang Ci's stomach growled in dissatisfaction.

Mr. Xie couldn't help but smile when he saw this, and asked Xie Yanqing to set up a fire for Yang Ci to roast two sweet potatoes.

Yang Ci was embarrassed to always eat their food, so the next day he brought a dozen stupid eggs from space, saying they were the rations he ate while studying here.

Xie Yanqing also knew that they didn't have much to eat here, and Yang Ci was half the age of a young man living in poverty, so he stayed without much thought when he saw this. Anyway, he didn't plan to touch Yang Ci's things. Staying here would make it easier for Yang Ci to eat when he was hungry.

Unexpectedly, in the next seven or eight days, Yang Ci would bring food every time he came over. The first time it was stupid eggs, the second time it was purple sweet potato nests, the third time it was half a bag of brown sugar, the fourth time it was two kilograms of thin noodles... almost every time I was never empty-handed.

At first Xie Yanqing didn't dare to accept it, but since Yang Ci was indeed very edible, he would occasionally eat their food.

So the three of them ate together and ate a lot, and for a while they couldn't tell who ate whose food.

Xie Yanqing never likes to take advantage of others. He always feels that if he takes advantage, he owes a favor. But he didn't know why. He would feel relaxed when facing Yang Ci, always unconsciously forgetting the distance between people.

Moreover, Yang Ci was obviously a child, but it made him feel an indescribable sense of security. This sense of security is very obvious, because since Yang Ci came, no one has disturbed his life.

Even Chen Suchen, who was hiding in the dark, seemed to disappear all of a sudden, and the world around him became quiet and safe.

Xie Yanqing likes the feeling now. He doesn't have to live in fear every day and can only teach Yang Ci to read in the evening.

Yang Ci is a very smart and hard-working student. Most of the time, he only needs a little guidance or two, and most of the rest of the time, Yang Ci can learn by himself. Then he has enough time to read quietly.

Not only that, because of Yang Ci's improvement of food, grandpa's physical condition has improved significantly. Even he who is always sick has become more energetic. All of this is Yang Ci's contribution.

Xie Yanqing was very grateful for this. At the same time, he also liked Yang Ci very much and wanted to become good friends with Yang Ci.

He didn't have much of a friendship. Now that he had a friend, he wanted to cherish this relationship.

…

On the day when the brigade handed over public rations, Yang Ci took the money and went to school to pay tuition. Yang Ci has been studying very hard these days, not only studying hard with Xie Yanqing, but also working hard in the space in private.

He feels that he can definitely go to high school now, but because his recent performance has been too outstanding, he feels that he should just be a little more cautious. After all, you need to give your family time to mentally prepare.

On the morning when the public rations were handed over, Yang Ci drove slowly towards the commune with the people in the brigade. Because many brigades have to pay public rations, they have to queue up early in the morning.
