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

The moment Cao Yuanyuan saw her father and elder brother appear, she felt very embarrassed.

Now that she was slapped by her father again, Cao Yuanyuan felt even more ashamed.

"Dad, I was cheated!" Cao Yuanyuan's eyes were red. "If it weren't for Yang Wenwen..."

"Shut up!" Cao Dazhuang scolded. "Did Yang Wenwen really lie to you? Isn't that what you really think? You've always had a righteous mindset. If you don't want to do something, no amount of persuasion will help! In fact, your mother and I tried to persuade you, breaking things down and explaining them to you, but you didn't listen, did you? In that case, don't blame others for your own mistakes!"

Yang Wenwen was wrong, but isn't the biggest fault on Cao Yuanyuan?

No one wants to admit when they make a mistake, and they always choose to blame the mistakes on others to alleviate their guilt.

But as a bystander, Cao Dazhuang could of course see it clearly.

Cao Yuanyuan was speechless and finally lowered her head.

"I still say the same thing. If you've given up, don't look back! Because even if you look back, others won't care about you, let alone accept you again. It's just that you're willing to be lowly."

"If you don't listen to me and insist on going your own way, your fate will be even worse! Come with me now. The feelings you once didn't cherish have long since left you. Even if you regret it now, it will be of no use."

Cao Yuanyuan didn't cry when she was scolded, but when her father pointed out that she had completely lost that relationship, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears.

Cao Yuanyuan packed up her things and was carried downstairs by Brother Cao.

Cao Dazhuang wanted to thank Liu Yibang, but was told by Liu Yibang's bodyguard Chen Feng that Liu Yibang was not here because he was doing research in the countryside.

"We have now safely handed the person over to you. We hope you are safe and well!"

Cao Dazhuang knew that Liu Yibang was avoiding suspicion and didn't want to see them, but he still thanked them and said, "Then we will go back first. I wish Mayor Liu more success and a bright future!"

Cao Dazhuang didn't stay long, and didn't even have a meal in the town. He directly hired a car and went to the county to take the train.

Cao Yuanyuan looked out the window. The station was getting farther and farther away, and tears started to flow from the corners of her eyes again.

This time she knew that it was completely impossible for her and Liu Yibang to be together.

After staying at home for half a month, Cao Yuanyuan met Yang Wenwen, who was also brought back by her family, when she was transiting in Beijing.

The two people were far apart at the airport. They looked at each other, unable to forgive each other, and then turned their heads away as if they didn't know each other.

But all this has nothing to do with Liu Yibang.

After the summer vacation, Baxiang Village Primary School reopened.

After returning home this summer, Mi Xiaonan purchased books from major libraries and some people in the school, and sent them to Baxiang Village one after another.

With the help of Liu Yibang's connections, another batch of books was brought in from Shenzhen.

Now the whole room is filled with large packages, piled very high.

Mi Xiaonan is leading the teachers to sort these books, classifying them according to elementary school, junior high school and high school.

Those suitable for primary school students were kept in the library of Baxiang Village; those suitable for junior high school students were sent to the town and another village junior high school; the remaining books suitable for high school students were sent to the high school department in the county.

Although these books are not brand new, they are about 70% to 80% new. The content inside is actually no different from brand new ones, and they are very suitable for students to read.

They also set aside Friday mornings for reading and afternoons for writing.

Students can come to borrow books. Each student can only borrow one book at a time and can only borrow the next one after returning it after reading.

For some studious children who are eager to learn about the outside world through books, this is a very meaningful activity.

But for some naughty boys, they can't concentrate on learning or watching, and it is difficult to improve their grades.

Therefore, Mi Xiaonan decided to go to the county town to buy some footballs and basketballs.

Sitting in Liu Yibang's shabby van, Mi Xiaonan asked, "Liu Yibang, is there anyone selling footballs and basketballs in our town?"

Liu Yibang thought for a moment and said, "I don't know. Do you want to buy footballs and basketballs for the students?"

Mi Xiaonan nodded. "It's my last year of teaching, and some students really can't concentrate on their studies. Well, it's normal when you think about it. Back then, when our school was so well-equipped, there were still many people who didn't want to study."

"In that case, let them participate in more sports and strengthen their bodies. At least they can have a good body, which is not bad either."

Liu Yibang nodded. "That makes sense! In that case, I'll also contribute some money and buy a few more. Every elementary and middle school should have one. How about this, after I finish my meeting this morning, we'll drive the van to buy some."

Mi Xiaonan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then you should hurry up, otherwise it will be too late and you won't be able to make it back."

So, Liu Yibang went to the town for a meeting, which ended an hour later, and then he went with Mi Xiaonan to buy a football and a basketball.

Liu Yibang took out several months' salary, plus Mi Xiaonan's money, and bought 30 soccer balls and 30 basketballs. As for the basketball hoops, they were too expensive, so he didn't buy them.

"How can we play basketball without buying a basketball hoop?" Mi Xiaonan was at a loss for words. Unlike football, where you can put two nets on both sides or even insert two sticks on one side to serve as a football net.

Liu Yibang smiled brightly. "There are always more solutions than problems. If we don't have a basketball hoop, we can first use wooden sticks buried in the soil as a substitute, as long as the height is sufficient. Then we can install a hoop on top. Wouldn't that allow us to play basketball? Let's wait and see if we can make money from selling pearls this year. If we can, we can buy a basketball hoop."

Mi Xiaonan shook her head. "Don't buy the basketball hoop first. Pay the teachers' wages that are owed first. Teachers already have low incomes, and they're still being owed wages. They have to make a living too!"

Although Mi Xiaonan's teaching salary is low, her parents, grandparents and grandmother are all teachers. They know that she has a hard time here and often give her pocket money.

This is also the reason why Mi Xiaonan can often spend her own money to buy food, books and school supplies. After all, if she has no money, no matter how good her intentions are, she will not be able to realize them.

Liu Yibang was stunned. "Okay, I will try to pay all the teachers' wages that are owed to them this year. We can't just let teachers contribute without letting them eat properly!"

Mi Xiaonan smiled. "Liu Yibang, I believe in you. Since you came here, you've brought a lot of different ideas, and you've also used various connections to change this place bit by bit. It's truly remarkable."

Liu Yibang said modestly: "It's the result of everyone's hard work."

Mi Xiaonan chuckled, "If it weren't for you, everyone wouldn't know how to work hard even if they wanted to! By the way, my family really likes the potato flour I brought back this time. I'm going to buy a sack and mail it back."

Liu Yibang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask the factory to give you the cost price when the time comes."

"No, the normal price is fine." Mi Xiaonan smiled, "Such a good thing, has the market been developed in our hometown?"

"We've already established a channel. Maybe it'll be available in your area soon, so you won't have to mail it in then." Liu Yibang chuckled. "Potato flour has great potential. By the way, Mi Xiaonan, if we could make potato flour into something like instant noodles, just soak it in water, add seasoning, and you could eat it. Would you be willing to buy it?"
