Let's just drift through life together in this quick transmigration story.

The afternoon exams continued. Xu Yaqin had been thinking about it all morning and finally figured it out. During the lunch break, she said to Xiong Bufan, "Fenghua, I have something to tell you. Please don't be angry, okay?"

"You stole my food?"

Xu Yaqin was taken aback by the question, but she still answered truthfully: "No."

"You stole my allowance?"

Xu Yaqin: "No, not at all."

As long as it wasn't one of those two things, Xiong Bufan could still reluctantly forgive Xu Yaqin. "Then what is it?"

Xu Yaqin lowered her head and said, "I lost two of the things you gave me?" As she spoke, she observed Xiong Bufan's expression.

Xiong Bufan: "Do you want me to find you? It only costs 50 cents, and I'll deliver you back to you intact."

Xu Yaqin was taken aback by Xiong Bufan's answer, her cheeks flushed red, and she was completely at a loss.

Kongkong asked Xiong Bufan, "What if it breaks?"

"That doesn't exist." Anyone who dares to disturb her from earning five cents will be smashed to pieces by her.

Xiong Bufan asked Xu Yaqin, "What's your decision?"

"no need."

Xiong Bufan didn't insist. "Just call me when you need it, and next time it'll be one yuan."

"Um"

Kongkong frantically flipped through the notebook. "Bufan, it wasn't lost. It was Xu Yaqin's mother, Fu Linan, who stole the things you gave Xu Yaqin. It seems she was going to sell them."

Xiong Bufan ruthlessly retorted, "Oh, this useless piece of trash can't even protect its own things." She had no intention of replacing any other jewelry for Xu Yaqin.

Xu Yaqin, unaware that she had already run out, returned with a bag of Magician instant noodles and handed it to Xiong Bufan, saying, "Here, eat this."

"It's free food delivered to the door, so why not take it?" Xiong Bufan picked up the instant noodles and said, "Next time I give you something, don't throw it away easily. I won't give it to you again."

"it is good."

Xu Yaqin considered the matter closed. During afternoon class, she couldn't help but keep glancing at Xiong Bufan, and ended up watching him sleep. When the school bell rang, Xiong Bufan yawned, looked up from her desk, packed her things, and prepared to go home. The teacher had already stopped bothering her; it was only for half a year anyway. She'd let the middle school teachers worry about her after that.

Xu Fenghua's county is a poor county. Their township is a little better off than the neighboring townships. There is a junior high school. All the children automatically go to the junior high school after finishing primary school. The results of the primary school exam can only be used as a factor for class placement, not for junior high school entrance exams. The junior high school is separated from the primary school by a wall.

Xu Yaqin and Xiong Bufan talked about the gossip they had heard today, such as who in their class was dating, who had found a big brother in the junior high school, and all sorts of strange things.

Xiong Bufan listened quietly, occasionally replying with something completely unrelated, "They can't beat me."

Xu Yaqin said, "No one will hit you, don't worry."

"Um"

After the divination, Xu's parents felt much more at ease. They also came to their senses and remembered the meal from the previous day. Xu's father used the money he had earned to buy half a pig in town to stew for Xiong Bufan, just to satisfy his craving.

As soon as Xiong Bufan entered the door, she smelled a strong aroma of meat. Without being told, she knew that Mr. and Mrs. Xu had cooked something delicious today.

Xu's father sat by the door peeling garlic, while Xu's mother sat by the stove tending the fire. When Xiong Bufan returned, she said, "Third son, do your homework first. Dinner won't be ready for a while. I'll call you when it's done."

"Row."

After putting down his schoolbag, Xiong Bufan went to the small warehouse hut. He found a burlap sack in the hut, jumped over the wall, and followed the smell all the way to the county town.

Fu Linan was buying food with Xu Yayang at a snack stall, looking quite pleased with herself. Her husband was capable; he had a half-sister who had married into a family in Shanghai, and both of them were very accomplished.

Xu Zhen went there to see his sister and ask her to see how much the jade pendant could fetch. Their hometown was a poor, remote place where even the best things couldn't be sold for a good price.

Even if the jade pendant wasn't worth much, Xu Zhen's sister wouldn't let him go for nothing; he could at least bring back a few thousand yuan to supplement the family income.

After Xu Yayang selected the food, Fu Linan took out a hundred-yuan bill to pay the bill and said to Xu Yayang, "Sweetie, what else do you want to eat? Mom will buy it for you."

"Okay, Mom is so good."

Xiong Bufan swallowed hard not far away. She really didn't expect this old woman to take the little brat so far and buy delicious food. This was simply too much. When would they finish eating?

The stall owner handed the remaining money and food to Fu Linan, saying, "Welcome to come again next time."

Fu Linan took the money and counted it, then handed the food to Xu Yayang, saying, "Sweetie, eat up."

"Well, thank you, Mom."
