Reborn in 1994, escaping from marriage and going sea fishing, I won!

The next day, Liu Yibang returned to Baxiang Village and bought some nutritional supplements, milk powder, and some biscuits. He had bought them in the provincial capital and they tasted good.

But Mi Xiaonan is not at home. Today is Monday and school is in session.

Liu Yibang handed the things to Yu Cuilian, including two boxes of biscuits to Yu Cuilian's children and the milk powder to be passed on to Mi Xiaonan by Yu Cuilian.

Liu Yibang arrived at the village primary school, where children from three surrounding villages attend. It turns out the former Party secretary of Baxiang Village was quite far-sighted, having campaigned to build this school 20 years ago.

Children from Baxiang Village do not have to walk far to go to school, while children from the other two villages need to walk for nearly an hour to go to school.

In the three villages, there are an average of two classes per grade, with each first-grade class having over 50 students. The number of students decreases as the grades get higher. Many children, mostly girls, drop out after learning a few words in second or third grade.

By the time we reached sixth grade, each class had only about 30 students, and less than a third of them were girls.

This did not exist in Liu Yibang's growing up experience.

The school on Sifang Island accepts the children of soldiers and military doctors, as well as the children of Sifang Island villagers. There are regulations on the island that prohibit dropping out of school.

Once, some villagers refused to let their children go to school. Mayor Tang and Principal Li went to the family to persuade them personally. When persuasion failed, Officer Wu from the police station came forward and detained the parents.

Children have the right to education, especially during the compulsory education stage. It is a crime for parents to prevent their children from going to school.

The reason why Sifang Island implemented it so well is because the economy is relatively good and no one drops out of school due to lack of money.

But what about here?

The school building is low and the environment is dilapidated. The children are dressed in gray clothes and have black faces. There are very few children with fair and tender skin.

Liu Yibang felt that the burden on his shoulders was even heavier.

Mi Xiaonan, a volunteer teacher, not only teaches math and Chinese to fifth and sixth graders, but also music. She brought her electronic keyboard from home. Another male volunteer teacher teaches the primary subjects, plus physical education and art.

The male teachers lived in the school's simple building, while the village teachers went home for lunch. The two teachers from the other two villages and the two volunteer teachers had lunch here at noon.

Seeing the potatoes, flour and some pickles in the kitchen, Liu Yibang's eyes turned slightly red.

He turned back to the village, bought a chicken from the villagers, and asked them to pack it up and bring it to the school.

At this time, teachers began to heat up meals and dishes for students whose homes were far away, and boiled water for the students to drink.

Liu Yibang asked the kitchen to stew the chicken and put potatoes in it, which tasted very delicious.

Today it was Mi Xiaonan's turn to cook. She sniffed the aroma from the pot, swallowed her saliva, and said, "I haven't eaten meat since I came here from my hometown during the Chinese New Year."

Liu Yibang thought for a moment and said, "I will buy some meat regularly in the future to improve everyone's meals."

Mi Xiaonan quickly waved her hand. Seeing the students peeking in from a distance, she said, "Don't buy it. The kids are greedy too. Even if you donate all your salary, it still won't be enough. When the weather warms up completely, the other teachers and I will expand the vegetable patch next door and plant some vegetables. Then, at least the kids will have something green for lunch."

Liu Yibang frowned. He wanted to change the status quo quickly, but the reality did not allow for quick success. He couldn't ask his family for help with everything, otherwise, wouldn't he empty the family out?

He needs to realize his ideal step by step. His family can help, but he must not rely entirely on them.

Seeing the handsome Liu Yibang worried, Mi Xiaonan smiled and comforted him: "Liu Yibang, I know you have ambitions, but things can't be achieved overnight. We need to take it step by step. As the great man said, the road is tortuous, but the future is bright. As long as we work hard, we will get closer and closer to our goal."

Mi Xiaonan's optimism made Liu Yibang feel better.

"Let's work together." Liu Yibang said in a deep voice, as if he was talking to Mi Xiaonan, or as if he was talking to himself.

At this moment, Principal Wu came over with a young and beautiful woman and said, "Come, let me introduce you to Yang Wenwen, the volunteer teacher who just came to our school."

When Liu Yibang heard this, he was slightly stunned. Could it be the Yang Wenwen he knew?

Mi Xiaonan greeted her warmly: "Teacher Yang, welcome. Wash your hands quickly and let's have dinner together. Today we have chicken stewed with potatoes."

Yang Wenwen smiled and said, "Thank you, and hello everyone. I'm Yang Wenwen, and I hope to work hard with you all in my future teaching career."

Liu Yibang was very familiar with this voice. It seemed that his previous guess was correct. Yang Wenwen really had bad intentions towards him.

Liu Yibang didn't want to have dinner with Yang Wenwen. No matter what purpose Yang Wenwen came here for, he didn't want to have too much contact with Yang Wenwen.

Liu Yibang was about to leave, but was stopped by Mi Xiaonan, who said, "Liu Yibang, you haven't eaten yet, how can you leave?"

At this time, Yang Wenwen pretended to be surprised: "Oh my God, Liu Yibang, you... you are here!"

Liu Yibang turned around and sneered. It would be easy for Yang Wenwen to find out where he was going. He said, "What a coincidence! Didn't you go abroad with Cao Yuanyuan? Why are you here teaching now?"

Yang Wenwen remained composed, having known this day would come. "I studied abroad for six months," she said. "While there was plenty, I lacked the enterprising spirit we have here. I didn't like it, so I came back. I hadn't decided what to do next, but my family elders told me to do something meaningful and to think about it later."

Now her whole family supports her in pursuing Liu Yibang. Nothing else matters. Liu Yibang is her future "career".

Mi Xiaonan was stunned and asked, "Teacher Yang, you and Liu Yibang are classmates?"

"Yes, we are college classmates." Yang Wenwen answered confidently, "We have a pretty good relationship! Teacher Mi, how about you? You seem to be very familiar with Liu Yibang as well."

Mi Xiaonan replied: "We were high school classmates."

Hearing this, although Yang Wenwen smiled, there was a hint of vigilance in her eyes. She felt that Mi Xiaonan, like her, had approached Liu Yibang through teaching.

"What a coincidence." Yang Wenwen said with a smile, "Liu Yibang, I want to eat chicken legs, is that okay?"

Liu Yibang could tell that Yang Wenwen was pretending to be friendly, hoping to make people around her think more.

This was indeed the case. Principal Wu and several teachers, including Mi Xiaonan, looked at Liu Yibang meaningfully.

"The chicken legs have been cut into pieces." Liu Yibang didn't want to be misunderstood, nor did he want to listen to Yang Wenwen's ambiguous words. He said, "Let me solemnly introduce to everyone that Yang Wenwen and I are ordinary classmates. We were and will be in the future. Please don't misunderstand."

Yang Wenwen didn't expect Liu Yibang to be so direct. Her face turned pale and she pretended to be relaxed and joked, "Liu Yibang, don't be so self-indulgent!"

Everyone understood that Yang Wenwen was probably pursuing Liu Yibang, but she didn't succeed him in school. After graduation, she pursued him at his workplace.

"Hearing you say that, I feel relieved." Liu Yibang also followed Yang Wenwen's words and said, "My family introduced me to a partner, and they are dating!"

He already has a "partner", and any woman should keep her distance from him, especially Yang Wenwen.
