Three years later.
Xiaolan was carrying her schoolbag and holding papers in her hands. She jumped happily to the door of the class, turned around and waved to the woman on the podium, "Goodbye, teacher!"
"Goodbye Yu Xiaolan, don't be proud if you get first place in the exam, you have to keep working hard, you know?"
"I know!" Xiaolan ran out of the classroom. Two classmates with whom she had a good relationship were already waiting for her outside the classroom.
A boy wearing glasses said: "Xiaolan, why are you so slow? Why don't you put the papers in your schoolbag?"
"I must be reluctant to part with it. If I get a perfect score, I must take a few more glances." The girl with bangs said with a smile, "Aunt Luo will probably be extremely happy when we get back, right?"
"I don't know. I heard that she suffered from prenatal depression and her temper has been bad recently."
"How long until your sister is born?" the boy asked.
"Two months."
The girl laughed and said, "If my mother was also pregnant, I would definitely not let her ask the gender in advance. That would be boring. Before the baby is born, she already knows whether it is the younger brother or the younger sister."
"No need to ask, everyone in the family knows it's Yu Mengying anyway." Xiaolan looked down at the test paper in her hand and murmured, "You don't understand even if I tell you."
The three of them go home together every day, and they have to walk to the No. 35 bus stop first.
On the road, a beggar wearing tattered clothes sat on the ground with a broken bowl in front of him.
Not saying anything, not making a sound, just sitting.
Pedestrians took a detour.
Xiaolan saw this and was about to walk up, but the girl grabbed her wrist and said, "Xiaolan, don't be fooled.
No matter what age it is now, as long as he is willing, he can receive self-cultivated land. "
“What is homesteading?”
"It's just about farming. The technology for food synthesis is already very mature and the cost is extremely low.
Even mechanized farming has been completely replaced. "The girl explained, "Because it tastes better than real food, the farmland cannot be sold, and large tracts of farmland have been abandoned.
As long as you are willing, you can get your own farmland. Everything is operated by intelligent machines, so you won't be tired at all.
So what do you think is the mentality of begging now? "
"Wow, you know so much. It's only 2026. I really don't know what the future will be like." Xiaolan pretended to be admiring and thought to herself: "It's not like I didn't stay in 2145. But, how can synthetic food taste better? It’s just the media’s hype.”
"The future will definitely be..." Before the girl could finish her words, she saw Xiaolan walking towards the beggar.
"This Xiaolan didn't listen to the advice at all." The girl stood on the spot, "That man is so dirty, and he is not afraid of contracting diseases if he is so close."
"Xiaolan is really kind..." The boy looked at him, "Look, she gave all her pocket money to the beggar. It was all big money. I guess it was enough for the beggar to spend ten years, right?"
"What a waste. The rich second generation just don't know that making money is not easy." The girl waved her hand in front of the boy's eyes, "What are you thinking about? The toad wants to eat swan meat? Do you know where Xiaolan's family lives?
As long as Aunt Luo is willing, she can arrange a driver for Xiaolan at any time. She just wants her children to have more experience.
Don’t think that just because people come home with us every day, they are really part of the same family, right? "
"But we are only in the third grade now, and everything in the future is still uncertain." The boy adjusted his glasses, "Maybe I will have a lot of money in the future!"
"Stop daydreaming, the bus is coming, let's go quickly." The girl shouted to Xiaolan, "Xiaolan, the bus is coming!"
"You guys should go back first. Something suddenly happened to me. I can just sit down for the next shift."
"Xiaolan, it's not safe for you to be alone. Let me accompany you." The boy was about to walk over.
Xiaolan immediately waved her hand and said: "No, no, you go back quickly!"
"Oh, the watch Xiaolan wears is very smart. You can see the real-time positioning at home. Everything will be fine." The girl pulled the boy away, "Hurry up, the car is about to leave."
The bearded man looked at the young girl who got on the bus and tucked a strand of his long, knotted hair behind his ears, "Are you a classmate?"
"Well..." Xiaolan suddenly remembered something and immediately dug out a bank card from her schoolbag, "By the way, brother, this is the spare one my mother gave me. There is one million in it. If you don't have enough... …”
"I'm not here to ask you for money." The man stuffed the money in the bowl back into the pocket next to Xiaolan's schoolbag, "I just missed you and came to see you. I didn't expect you to recognize me.
Will I be short of money? No matter what I want, it's all a matter of snapping my fingers. We are the tower masters.
This is called hiding something deep and hiding it from the public. Don’t you understand? "
"Pfft." Xiaolan suppressed her laughter and wiped the tears from her eyes, "Why do you have to be a beggar? What's your hobby?"
“Hiss—that’s probably true. It’s strange to think about it. After eating all the delicacies from the mountains and seas, I still miss the whole grains.
After tasting all the fine wines, teas and coffees in the world, I feel that water is the best.
There is no point in this person living and tossing around.
I've enjoyed your life too much, and I've changed my identity a lot, but I still think it's best to live a comfortable life as a tramp! "
"That's the same phrase again. Don't be obsessed with me. He's just a legend, right?" Xiaolan put her schoolbag on her back, "Actually, you don't have to ask for trouble like this. No one is forcing you, so why bother?"
"You put it like that, it seems that your realm is not yet reached. You will understand when you grow up." Wang Chenyu stretched out his hand to compare, "The last time I saw you was a year ago, right? At that time, you were not so tall. Now He must be 1.5 meters tall, right?"
"One meter forty six."
"Tsk, then you will be taller than Roland in the future." Wang Chenyu suddenly stopped smiling and asked seriously, "How are you at home? How are you doing lately?"
"It's pretty good... By the way, Yu Mengying is about to be born, in two months."
"Really? That's good." Wang Chenyu was not very surprised, but just sighed, "When Yu Ren and Luo Lan got married, I was thinking, if it had been... forget it, let's not talk about it.
Hi - life is like chess, otherwise, maybe Meng Ling and I got married earlier than the two of them. "
Xiaolan reacted, "Oh yes, Sister Meng Ling is doing well recently. She is still single and has never had a boyfriend."
"It doesn't matter whether you give it to me or not. It's all in the past with her. It's just a sigh of relief." Wang Chenyu grinned, "Speaking of which, I'm only 20 years old, so there's no need to have a boyfriend so early. .”
"What? When Sister Meng Ling dated you, you could get married at the age of 17. Now it's too early to have a boyfriend at the age of 20?" Xiaolan didn't dislike it at all. She sat down next to Wang Chenyu and touched her with her elbow. He said, "Stop holding on and go home."
