Yue Yan didn't notice that the female protagonist and the male protagonist of the original book were discussing their family behind their backs. They were only signing up and changing classrooms today. Class would only start tomorrow.
She found her classroom and then went home with her parents.
In order to celebrate the first day of school, Wen Hongyu specially fried two eggs.
Her monthly salary was 40 yuan, and her husband's salary ranged from 30 yuan. After deducting the expenses of rent and utilities, they still had to send money to both families every month. Their lives were difficult.
It was rare for her to cook rice today. There were even two plates of decent dishes on the table, but her parents did not eat them and let her eat first.
Yue Yan felt terrible. "Let's eat together. Otherwise, I won't eat."
She distributed some scrambled eggs to Yue Huaide's bowl and some to Wen Hongyu's bowl. The rest was hers. She distributed about the same amount. She rejected Wen Hongyu when she wanted to give her more eggs.
Yue Yan puffed up her cheeks. "It's a fair distribution. Otherwise, I won't eat it."
Yue Huaide and Wen Hongyu had no choice but to put away their thoughts. The family ate in silence.
Yue Yan bit her chopsticks and looked up. "Dad, have you ever thought of changing jobs?"
Yue Huaide's heart tightened. His daughter still minded his undignified job.
"Yueyue!" Wen Hongyu called out to her softly.
Yue Yan stared at her father without blinking. There was no disgust on her face, so Yue Huaide was slightly relieved.
"Dad doesn't have much ability. I only have brute force to farm. I have embarrassed Yueyue."
Yue Yan's heart ached when she heard that. How insensible was Yue Yan to make her father felt so belittled?
"That's not what I meant. I just feel that you're working too hard. You're exposed to the elements every day. What if you tire yourself out?"
Her daughter had really become sensible. Wen Hongyu was touched and wiped her red eyes.
Yue Huaide said happily, "With Yueyue's love for Dad, this bit of weather is nothing."
It seemed like her father was quite satisfied with this job. Yue Yan was prepared to carry her idea out secretly to give her family a surprise.
After dinner, Yue Yan helped her mother clean up the dining table and kitchen before looking for new friends to play with.
Zhou Boyan had also reported to school today. He had just returned home and was reading on the sofa with a cream popsicle in his mouth.
Cream popsicles were worth five cents. What kind of family background did he have?
Although Yue Yan was curious, she had no intention of prying into other people's family privacy.
"Brother Xiaofei, how was the registration today?"
Zhou Boyan stood up and ate the popsicle in two bites. "Some students from No. 3 High School reported to school today. They're hooligans."
He said casually, "Yueyue can't play with such a person. You have to be more careful when making friends, understand?"
Yue Yan nodded seriously. "I don't play with them. I heard that they even have boyfriends and girlfriends. Tsk tsk, it will affect their studies. I want to go to university!"
Bro, you have a bright future. Don't be bewitched by the female main character.
Although Zhou Boyan wasn't in the same school as her, she was afraid that her good friend would fall in love with the female main character at first sight.
The two of them had ulterior motives, but they were both worried that their friends would get into trouble with the protagonists.
Yue Yan thought of her motive for coming over.
"By the way, Brother Xiaofei, does my bow look good?" She pointed at the bows at the end of her braids. They looked like dancing butterflies.
Zhou Boyan affirmed with admiration. "They're handmade. They look great."
Yue Yan did not discover the loophole in his words. There was no such thing as machine processing in this era.
"Do you think I can sell them as hair decorations?" Yue Yan looked at him eagerly, trying to get his support.
Zhou Boyan smiled. "Of course. Why does Yueyue suddenly want to earn money?"
