After my divorce, I became a top-tier game producer.

This is a low-level planet with a civilization level of less than one. It has no advantages at all. Naturally, there is no job and no credit points. The men in the family have gone to other planets to work, and the women have stayed here. It has been a year since then. Another year, they managed to make ends meet by relying on their own efforts. Only the children had some hope for the future. They took government welfare courses. If they passed the exam, they would leave this remote little planet. If they failed, they would stay here. Generation after generation. .

If Xia Mu wants to leave this place, he has to wait for this annual flight. He can only leave by taking advantage of Huaping Star to send students here to take exams on a larger planet, because the country will help open up planets and The wormhole tunnel between the planets is convenient for unifying the time of all students and making an absolutely fair destiny choice. Many civilian starships will also take this opportunity to take advantage of the fast lane, which is also the case during the college entrance examination days for students. The planet's most populous days.

There are students who are studying to take the college entrance examination, and there are also many people who drop out of school early to support their families. They will follow the path that their uncles took through this route and stay away from home to work outside. If they do not do well, they will save money for several years. When he comes back to find his wife, he will settle down outside and never come back.

The same planetary route, but the destiny has undergone a huge deflection here.

Xia Mu knew that he would have to stay in this place for a few years whether he wanted to or not, so it was particularly important to embrace the lap of a kind-hearted person at this time.

The girl who praised Xia Mu in front is called Wang Siting. She has a sister named Wang Xiuqin who has been admitted to a university on another planet and is still studying. Her mother is a well-known and capable Xiuqin mother in the village, but no one knows Xiuqin's mother's real name. What.

Xia Mu didn't try to be brave and told Xiuqin's mother directly about her current situation. The woman was silent for a while and finally decided to take Xia Mu in.

Xia Mu could only give the clothes on her body as the only reward. Although it was a gorgeous dress worth tens of millions, in this village, its artistic value was not as good as the rising smoke. The diamonds on it were simply not worth it. It's a small amount, and you can sell the bits and pieces for money.

After all, she was really penniless, and the only starship she had left behind had no energy and was no different than scrap metal. If she wanted to sell it, she would have to find a larger planet, at least with a third-level civilization.

Because of Xia Mu's current age, she also has to go to compulsory school.

Xiuqin's mother took the initiative to bring this matter up. She planned to take Xia Mu to the girls' school here tomorrow.

"Huaping Girls' High School" is a school specially designed for girls in this place. Xiuqin's mother went to school there, Xiuqin also went to school, and now it's Wang Siting and Xia Mu's turn.

It is said that this school existed a long time ago. It has gone through countless ups and downs but still made it to the present. Because the deeds of the first principal’s founding of the school are spread on the walls of this school. Her spirit will not be swept away by the torrent of the times. If it is washed away, it will only shine brighter. Of course, we have to admit that as a school that is open to poor female students for free, it cannot escape the subsidies from the above and the support from people from all walks of life.

But as fewer and fewer people pay attention to this planet, and more and more people leave this planet, the funds flowing to this school also begin to gradually decrease.

There are many children in need and little subsidies. Life at Huaping Girls' High School is actually not easy.

After all, without money, it is impossible to retain teachers, without money, children cannot eat good food every day, without money, they cannot afford textbooks and school uniforms... The life of Huaping Girls' School gradually became miserable.

So Teacher Zhang Meigui had to let the outside world know: "We only accept rural children who have no money to study. We don't accept those in the city who are not particularly poor. We don't accept those who are not particularly difficult. After all, this is not a good place."

Compared with many schools, it really has no advantage at all. Parents who really care about their children are reluctant to send their children here to stew cabbage and tofu every day.

Early the next morning, Wang Siting packed up her belongings for the month and returned to her class before dawn. However, if Xia Mu wanted to go to this free school, she needed to see Xiuqin's mother and talk to the principal. How's it going?

Xiuqin's mother put Xia Mu in new clothes that Wang Xiuqin didn't take away. Xia Mu was tall and the clothes were a bit short, but this was already the biggest girl's clothes in the family.

In order to successfully enroll her child in school today, Xiuqin's mother went to the fields before dawn and prepared a large bag of sweet potatoes, as well as a small piece of lard, sugar, and salt.

Wang Siting was a little greedy for candy, and Xiuqin's mother was not stingy and gave Xia Mu and Wang Siting each a small piece of leftover candy from the New Year.

Xia Mu smelled the low-quality saccharin and did not dare to eat it, so she gave the candy to Wang Siting, which made the little girl feel happy instantly.

I don't know why... Xia Mu felt a little stuck.

But in just one day, she understood why her mother had repeatedly asked for her opinion.

Even if the Xia family is not free, it has provided Xia Mu with a past that many children dare not even think about.

Huaping Girls' School.

The principal here has always been easy to find. She doesn't have any special office, but stays on the first floor with the teachers.

Xiuqin's mother walked in with Xia Mu, and the first thing she saw was the principal Zhang Meigui, because the principal once came to the house to visit the two girls and inspected the poverty level of the Wang family.

Principal Zhang Meigui is a person who is a bit short but has a very good spirit. Looking at Xiuqin's mother's hand full of gifts, the fair girl next to her instantly knew her purpose.

"Mom Xiuqin, what are you doing?"

"Principal Zhang, I'm not lying to you. This child is in my home now, but you also know the situation of my family. I want Xiuqin and Siting to go to college in the future, and I don't have any money left. See if you can be accommodating. For a moment, the child really wants to study...you will accept this child."

Xiuqin's mother placed a large bag in front of Principal Zhang Meigui, somewhat deliberately revealing the small piece of white lard inside.

Principal Zhang knew just by looking at Xia Mu's hands that she was a girl from the city, and there was no sunburn on her face at all, so she must have been pampered and raised like this.

Huaping Girls' School does not accept such students. Children in rural areas cannot get out of the mountains unless they endure hardship.

"Mom Xiuqin, you also know the conditions of our place. We have to be responsible with the donation money. When you sent Xiuqin and Siting over, we went to your hometown to verify the authenticity of the girls. The situation, but now you have sent a child from the city without any end. I am a little sorry, but we will not accept it."

"But she's not from the city, she's ours."

Xia Mu opened the optical brain information, and it clearly stated - Bai Mu, ancestral home in Huaping County.

But Principal Zhang's eyes did not look at that place, but fell on her mother's column, which was registered - Bai Fuxue.

"Child, your mother is Bai Fuxue?!"

Not to mention that Principal Zhang was a little surprised, Xia Mu was also confused.

Xia Mu...became Bai Mu, her mother was Bai Fuxue, and her father...died?Brother...no? !

She only knew that her mother was the eldest daughter of the Bai family.

"You know my mother?"

Principal Zhang smiled instantly, with a little tears in his eyes: "We know each other, we know each other, we are college classmates."

And Xiuqin's mother immediately exclaimed: "Is this the daughter of Teacher Bai who came to teach as a volunteer teacher many years ago?! No wonder, if you look closely, she does look like Teacher Bai."

Principal Zhang's eyes were a little red, and she asked tremblingly: "Your mother, how have you been in the past few years? I haven't heard from her for a long time."

Bai Mu didn't know how to answer this question. She and her mother hadn't seen each other for a long time. Even though they had stayed together for more than ten days before, she had rarely spoken to her mother. "she……"

Tell a white lie or tell the truth?

Bai Mu was a little tangled. If the principal Zhang in front of her was her mother's friend, she would naturally hope that her mother would live a better life. But...after her mother married into the Xia family, she was sent to a place of exile within a few years.

Principal Zhang looked at the girl and understood.

She handed back all the things Xiuqin's mother had brought: "Xiuqin's mother, if it is Bai Fuxue's condition, Bai Mu is not eligible for school funding."

Bai Mu was a little anxious: "But I am indeed penniless, and I do have an independent household registration now!"

Principal Zhang's eyebrows softened, she patted Bai Mu's hand, and told not only her, but also the other teachers in the office, "The subsidy has been allocated early this year, and the 200 yuan per month has been The cards of each child have been printed. Bai Mu is the late one and there is no extra money to give her. But she is the daughter of my old friend, so I want to personally sponsor your studies and give you 200 for food every month. Fei, you stay here, okay?"

"Okay, but only 200?" Bai Mu had never heard of such a small amount of money in his entire life.

"You think too much?"

"No." A bottle of water usually costs three thousand for her.

Principal Zhang looked at Bai Mu as if he were seeing an old friend from back then, and it was the same at the beginning... There was obviously no discrimination, but the differences between people could easily have various influences on immature children.

"Bai Mu, let's make an agreement, okay?"

"Ah."

"This is a little undercover game. You are the only special kid in this school. You have to hide your special identity, okay?"

The children here all grew up in impoverished mountainous areas. When he was very young, Principal Zhang once lamented Bai Fuxue's perfection, but after knowing the price Bai Fuxue paid to maintain perfection, he couldn't help but feel sorry for this girl. .

Bai Mu naturally knew the hidden meaning of Principal Zhang. She was not a person without eyesight, and she would not undermine it.

"Okay, I'll pay attention." She was very good at acting.

"Okay, let's all the teachers from the first year of high school come over and see if there is a bed available for this child. Can he be her class teacher?"

There are not many teachers in the first year of high school, and the combined number of men and women is no more than one, and the proportion of male teachers among them is also pitiful.

In the end, it was Teacher Meimei who got Bai Mu.

Principal Zhang looked at Bai Mu's waist-length hair, and couldn't help but regretted it for a moment, "Okay, Bai Mu will find a place nearby to cut his hair and report later."

Bai Mu's hair was a smooth black silk, so he was naturally a little dissatisfied at being suddenly asked to lose it.

"Huh? Why do you want to cut my hair?"

Principal Zhang replied to her patiently: "Because the children here can only focus on studying and sideline their destiny. Cutting off three thousand worries is like putting an end to the past self and ushering in a new life."

Bai Mu knew that there might be many reasons, but this reason was really cool!

"Well, to look to the future!"

Teacher Meimei asked silently: "Do you have money to cut your hair?"

Bai Mu shook his head honestly, Xiuqin's mother looked embarrassed, and Principal Zhang couldn't help but sigh. After searching through his pockets, he only found less than three yuan.

Principal Zhang looked helplessly at the other teachers in the office: "The money I have is not enough. Please help me make up the money. I will pay it back to you when my salary is paid."

"I have two pieces here, so I don't need to pay them back to Principal Zhang."

"I have five yuan here. I'm going to buy cigarettes. I don't have to pay the principal back. I quit smoking."

……

Teacher Meimei smiled slightly: "All your money has been donated to the school as salary. I will naturally have to do things after receiving my salary. After Bai Mu, she will be my student, so I will be responsible for her expenses!"

Principal Zhang still wanted to postpone it, but Teacher Meimei joked: "Teacher Bai was very good to me back then, I should also find an opportunity to repay it~"

"Good good."

Suddenly the whole office was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Xiuqin's mother couldn't help but smile when she saw the smiles on everyone's faces. She left a bag full of food in her hand and told Bai Mu: "You study hard here, the teacher here is They are all the most responsible. If you are unhappy in any way, just go to my second child, okay?"

Bai Mu nodded. He seemed to be a very well-behaved child.

Xiuqin's mother and Principal Zhang also declined, but in the end they stayed, also to improve the food for the children.

Teacher Meimei took Bai Mu to a barber shop with her little electric donkey, but she didn't expect that Bai Mu's long and smooth hair was actually quite valuable. She made a small fortune in an instant. Teacher Meimei saw this I wanted to sell my hair for a sum of money, but the boss didn't accept it at all.

Meimei was a little disappointed.

Bai Mu and Teacher Meimei returned to school, which happened to be the class where Wang Siting was in. Teacher Meimei received warm applause when she introduced Bai Mu to everyone.

A few months have passed by in a flash. Everyone has adapted to the class. There is a new little girl in the class. Although she looks fair and thin, she is surprisingly smart. She knows everything outside and what is in the textbook. , her optical brain can still connect to the outside world, unlike theirs, which is disconnected.

This has to be said.

Although Bai Mu is the last underachiever to enter the class in the school, he is the child with the best grades in the school!
