The Lin family's little boy returns to being eight years old, taking his family to new heights.
Chapter 8 Grandma Lin's Doubts and Teacher Yang's Mystery
"Ding. The host helped Grandma Liu move heavy objects, preventing her from injuring her back. 10 Love Coins have been awarded."
Lin Xi glanced at the system interface and saw that she currently had 35 Love Coins. Sigh, when will she be able to save up a hundred?
I used to think it was simple, but now I realize it's not that easy. How can there be so many people who need help and happen to be there for her?
She didn't want to deliberately try to please or help others just to earn love coins.
"Xiao Yi supports the host's idea. Just let things take their natural course. The host doesn't need to rush. The current task is to continuously improve your abilities. Once you have enough resources, helping others will be a very easy thing."
Lin Xi immediately stopped being anxious and decided to do what she could to help.
When she got home, Lin Guiying had already prepared dinner, and Lin Dayuan had also come home from get off work. The family was sitting at the table waiting for her to come back.
"Grandma, if I come home late next time, you can eat first."
It's so inconvenient not having a cell phone.
"A meal is only truly enjoyable when the whole family is together." He then opened the lid used to keep the food warm, and a fragrant aroma wafted out.
A plate of scrambled eggs with scallions, the bright yellow eggs garnished with green scallions; a plate of shredded potatoes with red, green and blue peppers; and blanched greens drizzled with garlic sauce.
After Lin Xi sat down, the family seemed to turn on a switch and immediately picked up their chopsticks and began to wolf down their food.
Although her family was poor and didn't eat meat often, she loved her family's cooking the most because her grandmother could always make the most delicious dishes with limited ingredients.
Having satisfied her hunger, Lin Xi returned to her room and began reading her fourth-grade math textbook.
She finished watching it in less than half an hour. There was still plenty of time. She saw her family members stripping the insulation off the cables they had picked up during the day, so she helped out until Grandma Lin went to urge her to go to sleep.
The next morning, before Lin Xi had even woken up, Grandma Lin woke her up.
The system notification sounded promptly, announcing that the rewards were the same as yesterday.
"Xiao Yi, can I put the spinach juice in the water tank for my family to use?"
"Okay, host."
After breakfast, she went to the kitchen, lifted the lid of the water tank, and secretly put the spinach juice in.
Diluted by such a large tank of water, the effect certainly won't be so frightening, and the family can work more easily.
After Lin Xi left, Lin Guiying took a sip of water and began to deal with the cables.
I was still using the same small utility knife as yesterday. Due to years of use, the blade was covered with rust. Although I had sharpened the blade, it was not as sharp as before. The cable insulation was dense and sturdy, so it took some effort to cut it each time.
At this moment, as if the knife had just been sharpened, a deep cut appeared in the tough rubber before any force was applied, even scratching the copper core inside.
The old man held the knife in front of him with self-doubt, examined it carefully, and realized it was indeed the same broken knife.
Undeterred, she made cut after cut, her eyes widening. "Old man, did you sharpen this knife again? It's incredibly sharp, even Old Zhang's butcher knife can't compare."
Lin Guojun was moving the copper core that had been processed yesterday. "Ying, what are you talking about? That knife has been used for so many years, no matter how much you sharpen it, it can't be as good as a butcher's knife." Then, somewhat incredulously, he said, "I don't know why, but I feel like I have inexhaustible strength today. Didn't Xiaoxi say that the adrenaline rush is temporary...?"
Lin Guiying was completely absorbed in the moment, her movements nimble and graceful as she held a small knife. With a gentle touch, she sliced into the cable sheath as smoothly as cutting tofu, then with a slight flick of her wrist, the sheath split open rapidly to both sides.
In no time, the entire cable sheath was completely peeled off. The whole process was easy and pleasant. She looked relaxed and content, without any impatience at all, only feeling happy.
After enjoying himself for a while, he hurriedly called his wife over to try it, and Lin Guojun's shocked expression gradually turned into one of pure delight.
After talking for a long time, the elderly couple came to the same conclusion: knowing they could sell it for a high price, they were so happy their adrenaline was surging...
Except for a few times when they drank water, the two of them kept working on it and couldn't stop.
Two days' worth of work was completed in just two hours.
They could never have imagined that their great strength was simply due to drinking water.
The two placed the processed copper core onto the cart. Lin Guiying examined her hands, turning them over and over, for a long time, still unable to understand how her strength had suddenly increased so much.
Lin Guojun pushed the cart to the scrap metal recycling station, feeling as light as a feather the whole way.
Grandpa Wang, who was resting on a cardboard box, saw the truckload of copper cores from afar and immediately stood up to go and meet them.
"Wow, I thought I was seeing things! You've struck it rich today! These are worth at least three hundred dollars. Where did you get such good stuff?!"
"My granddaughter found it, let's weigh it quickly." Grandpa Lin said with a proud look.
"Your granddaughter is really lucky; you're so fortunate."
After weighing and settling the money, Lin Guojun wrapped his wallet in paper, then put it in a plastic bag, then took out a small box to put it in, and finally put it in the inside pocket of his clothes with peace of mind.
Grandpa Wang said with a laugh, "It's no use putting so many layers on it. If the box falls, the money will be lost too."
"Hehe, it's been so many years since I've carried this much money, I'd better be careful." Then he pushed his little cart and hurried home as fast as he could.
Good heavens, 375 yuan! I'm old Lin, and I can still make big money even in my old age. I earned almost 400 yuan in two days. If I pick up a few more of these, maybe I can become a millionaire.
I need to go back to that place tomorrow; I can't afford to waste a single day picking up trash.
As he thought about it, Lin Guojun donated another 10 love coins to Lin Xi.
When Lin Xi heard the system notification that her grandfather had reaffirmed his belief in collecting recyclables, she felt completely bewildered.
Later, when the system explained it to her, she was both amused and exasperated; her grandfather was going further and further down the path of collecting recyclables.
At that moment, during English class, Ms. Yang's stern yet clear voice rang in her ears, "Lin Xi, concentrate! Your eyes are all glazed over."
Lin Xi looked at the tall, slender English teacher standing straight on the podium, her face slightly flushed, and replied, "Okay, teacher."
Seeing that the students were engrossed in their studies, Teacher Yang didn't say anything more; the slightly raised eyebrows on her cool face simply softened.
Who would have thought that I'd still be afraid of teachers even in my thirties, and that I'd even gotten caught skipping class?
In her previous life, Lin Xi was most afraid of Ms. Yang, who taught English.
Once, when students were chatting in class, she merely glanced at them and calmly said, "Where do you two find common ground? You haven't even turned to the same page in your books. If you want to chat, please chat in English. If you get stuck, I can give you a lesson on the spot."
Then the lecture continued.
As a result, the students who were called out never chatted in English class again.
Teacher Yang's classroom discipline has always been the best.
She spoke humorous sentences with a cold gaze and tone, and coupled with her aloof and dignified appearance, she gave people the feeling that this person was very strange and should not be provoked, as you never know what she might do.
As get out of class was about to end, Teacher Yang specifically called out Lin Xi's name again.
“Read this dialogue aloud.”
In her previous life, Lin Xi worked as an editor and occasionally consulted foreign literature, so her English skills had never suffered. Coupled with the review she had done in the past two days, including reading aloud and memorizing a lot, she wasn't worried.
A fluent and authentic British accent rang out in the classroom, melodious and clear.
Su Xin, who was sitting next to him, stared wide-eyed, as if his eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets. His deskmate seemed to be glowing!
The other students were also filled with shock and disbelief.
From the moment Lin Xi spoke, Yang Qingning looked down at the little girl with short hair and a slightly flushed, fair face. His perpetually icy expression showed a hint of doubt and admiration.
After Lin Xi finished reading, she asked in English, "Have you been practicing your spoken English lately?"
Lin Xi was slightly surprised, and replied in English, "Yes."
"Your progress has exceeded my expectations. Would you mind telling me why?"
After considering her words for a moment, Lin Xi replied, "I'm sorry, teacher, it's not convenient."
At this moment, Ms. Yang finally said something that the other students could understand: "Okay, I understand. Sit down."
She knew that Ms. Yang was the most terrifying person; who would have thought that she would speak to her in English?
In his mind, Xiao Yi's voice rang out: "Host, you've been exposed again. She's testing your English level. But don't worry, she means no harm, just pure curiosity."
My goodness, Teacher Yang is so smart!
Xiao Yi was speechless. You're too naive. Someone who stutters when reading words can suddenly have a fluent conversation in English. Who wouldn't think twice?
At that moment, the bell rang, and as soon as Teacher Yang walked out of the classroom, the area below the podium erupted in chaos.
"Oh my god, deskmate, you're my god! That was so cool!"
"Yeah, yeah, you were babbling on and on, we couldn't understand a thing, what were you saying later!"
"Lin Xi, Lin Xi, why has your English suddenly become so good?"
......
Lin Xi was surrounded by her classmates, and her head was about to explode...
After returning to her office, Yang Qingning said to Su Youcheng, Lin Xi's homeroom teacher, "That little girl named Lin Xi in the class is quite interesting. You can pay more attention to her."
Su Youcheng raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Oh? Well, that's rare. It's rare to get your attention." This was the first time he'd seen her interested in a student.
After considering for a moment, the other party said, "However, don't delve into it too much."
Su Youcheng was completely baffled by this sentence. What did it mean?
But he didn't ask any more questions; he was also a little afraid of this Teacher Yang.
