Fang Yan's birthday gift to He Yushui could be said to be rather shabby.
After all, he couldn't give her anything expensive.
"Giving goose feathers from thousands of miles away is a small gift, but it's important…Don't despise it!”
"I heard about it. Last time, I pushed you out to block Jia Dongxu's family's champion wine, and you were scolded.”
Fang Yan explained his motive.
He Yushui was stunned for a moment, then smiled and took the egg from Fang Yan's hand.
"Hey, I was wondering what was going on!"
"I'm fine!" she said generously.
He said to Fang Yan,
"It's not like I don't know Jia Dongxu's character.”
"But you actually remembered my birthday. Thank you!”
As he spoke, he shook the egg in his hand and stuffed it into his pocket.
At this moment, Fang Yan faintly reminded,"
"The egg…is raw. Be careful not to break it and spill it.”
"Ah, why did you bring it with you? Why don't you give it to me at night?”He Yushui was shocked and complained to Fang Yan.
At this moment, Fang Yan had already walked away.
At lunchtime, the classroom was still in small groups of three to five.
Fang Yan returned late, so many people had already finished eating.
At the age of seventeen or eighteen, this lunch was only half full for most people.
He finished his meal quickly, but he still didn't feel full.
Someone went to the water room at the back of the classroom and boiled some water. Then, he started drinking the vegetable soup in his bowl.
After drinking an entire bowl of soup, he barely felt full.
Without oil in her stomach, it was useless.
The second-class food in the school canteen now was only enough to prevent people from starving to death.
In the old society, the three types of sorghums were not even used by the landowners to feed their livestock.
Only eating that kind of food would be considered good.
Fang Yan sat by the window and started eating.
Yu Haitang saw him enter the classroom and ran over.
He quietly handed over a few pieces of scallion biscuits wrapped in oil paper.
She looked left and right and realized that no one was looking at her. Then, she lowered her voice and said with a smile,
"Hurry up and eat. My sister bought it from their supply and marketing cooperative yesterday.”
Fang Yan did not stand on ceremony with the biscuits. He took them and stuffed them all into his mouth.
It pouted like a big frog.
Yu Haitang burst out laughing.
She quickly covered her mouth to stifle her laughter, then gestured for Fang Yan to eat quickly.
On the other side, Fang Yan chewed it up quickly.
She drank a mouthful of vegetable soup and rolled her eyes, swallowing all the biscuits.
After a while, he let out a long sigh of relief.
With something in his stomach, the burning hunger was instantly dispelled.
"Thanks ~"
After Fang Yan thanked him, he began to eat his food.
There was no physical labor during afternoon classes these few days, so Fang Yan felt that the food was quite filling.
The school's teaching activities were very different from those of the later generations.
The morning class was to learn some high school knowledge. It was not difficult for Fang Yan to learn these things.
But to some students, it was like a heavenly book.
At this time, one could basically see who could get into university and who wouldn't.
Of course, this was not the only threshold to enter university. One could not enter university just because one's studies were good.
Let's put this aside for now.
In the afternoon, it was group labor time.
It started at two in the afternoon and ended at five in the afternoon.
He did everything in three hours.
He went to pick up the charcoal residue from the kitchen, plant the land, repair the courtyard wall, move the stones, pick up the soil, carry the dung, and clean up the garbage.
As long as it was a form of labor that the school could think of, they would do it.
After working hard, his body was weak. If he didn't eat well, he would really see stars and his legs and stomach would turn.
However, if it rained, it would be like this.
Then the afternoon would be much easier.
He didn't know about other places, but Yanjing School had mimeographed documents issued by the government. The class mainly read the editorials in the newspapers and studied the theory of the middle class.
After that, they would speak and discuss.
Of course, these speeches were basically the individual showtimes of the children of the officials.
Other than a few brave people who dared to say it, no one else dared to say anything.
There were some things that he didn't dare to say.
At this moment, Yu Haitang said to Fang Yan,
"Today is Friday, and tomorrow is the weekend. Teacher Li asked me to ask you how the translation is going.”
Fang Yan was stunned. Only then did he remember that he had accepted a private job from the school.
After the System Awakened a few years ago, he had obtained a photographic memory skill.
In a very short time, he used this skill to learn Russian, which was an elective course in school.
Then, he took on a job to give bonus points for the college entrance examination.
Translator.
To be specific, he was helping the school's Youth League translate.
Translate the works of the Soviet writer Nikolay Alekseyevich Ostrovsky: Born of the Storm
This author might sound unfamiliar to many people.
Basically, everyone had heard of this author's other book.
His other book was written before this book," Born of the Storm."
It was called 'How Steel Is Tempered.'
Probably because 'Born of the Storm' was too unpopular, there was not a complete translation of it in Yanjing.
The Youth League Committee also needed to use the school's name to publish a lot of foreign revolutionary books.
Therefore, there were many books that needed to be translated on the list.
Teacher Li of the Youth League Committee was responsible for the translation work. He could not translate it all by himself.
He looked around the school for students with good grades. In the end, he only found Fang Yan, who was proficient in Russian.
Therefore, this job was handed over to him.
It wasn't for nothing. Once the book was printed, the translator's name would be hung up.
When the college entrance examination was held in July, it would be an additional point.
Even finding someone to write a recommendation letter was a good thing.
Now, facing Haitang's inquiry, Fang Yan remembered that he had left nearly one-fifth of the amount unfinished during the new year.
He chewed on the potato and vermicelli and took a bite of the cornbread.
He vaguely said to Haitang,"
"Uh…soon."
"Did you forget?" Yu Haitang asked Fang Yan suspiciously.
"I'll give it to him next Friday. The rest of the book isn't easy to translate, but there aren't many pages left.”Fang Yan said as he picked up the lunch box and drank a mouthful of vegetable soup.
She lied with a straight face.
"Oh, then I'll tell Teacher Li that if you can't hand it in this week, you'll hand it in next week.”Yu Haitang nodded honestly.
Fang Yan placed the cornbread into the box and soaked it in the soup. Then, he took a bite of the cornbread that had become soft after absorbing the soup.
There was also some diced meat on it.
With the addition of some pork flavor, it was much more delicious.
After swallowing a mouthful, he replied to Haitang,"
"Yes, they are all short stories, and my long story is in Russian, so it will take some effort.”
"Don't worry, I know what to do.”
"You have to pay more attention. The college entrance examination is a bonus. Many people don't have a chance even if they want to.”Yu Haitang couldn't help but remind him.
Fang Yan waved his hand, indicating that he understood.
He was certain that he would be able to obtain this item.
Turning around, he waved at Haitang, indicating for her to come closer. Then he asked in a low voice,"
"By the way, I haven't been out for a long time. Do you know how far your sister and my brother have progressed?”
