After Exhausting Myself to Death

Chapter 51: A Pearl Covered in Dust Cannot Obscure Its Brilliance (3)

Shen Minghuan closed the last book with reluctance.

Although the country tried its best to reduce the price of books, it was limited to the most basic textbooks. Slightly more professional knowledge was still difficult to obtain. The original owner seemed to have a lot of books here, but in fact it was more because the house was too small.

Shen Minghuan has always had a photographic memory. He can understand the secrets of martial arts that can only be understood but not explained. Obviously, his comprehension is not bad. If he was not too talented, he would not have been crowned king at birth.

After all, who can be called a genius can reach a distance that ordinary people can't reach in a very short time?

Not to mention that the original owner has a solid foundation. He follows the best talents. Although he doesn't understand many things, he also forces himself to remember them in his mind.

The original owner can't understand, but Shen Minghuan can! With the original owner's memory as an aid, Shen Minghuan is like a fish in water, flopping around in the sea of ​​knowledge... no, swimming.

Shen Minghuan took out a pen and paper with a little excitement. He had so many inspirations surging in his mind that he had to use pen and paper to sort out his thoughts.

However, he frowned as soon as he wrote a word, and said dissatisfiedly: [Xiaojiu, why is this body so easy to get hungry! ]

It delayed the creation of Shen Dacai.

The system hesitated: [Host, is there a possibility that all humans are like this? Is there another possibility that you actually ate breakfast, but now it is dark? ]

[Really? ] Shen Minghuan "tsk": [What a trouble. ]

The system thought, that's because someone carefully prepared a table of delicacies before you started to get hungry. How can there be no trouble in this world? It's just that someone is carrying the burden for you.

Thinking of this, the system suddenly felt distressed again. When has its pampered host, who is always surrounded by love, ever drunk half-cooked porridge?

A quarter of an hour later, Shen Minghuan looked at the bottom of the pot, which was as black as charcoal and had condensed into a whole piece of "porridge" that looked extremely hard, and fell into deep thought again.

He learned from the previous lesson that the food was not cooked well, and this time he used a high fire, but how did it turn out like this? Shen Minghuan picked up the spatula and poked it curiously.

The system was shocked: [Host, this can't be eaten, it will kill people! ]

It apologized for its previous reckless thoughts. The half-cooked porridge was still porridge, but now... his host wanted to chew charcoal!

[I don't want to eat it. ] Shen Minghuan argued stubbornly, but his expression was eager to try. After all, it was the meal he made by himself. Although it didn't look very beautiful, the taste should be...

The system was frightened by Shen Minghuan's eyes, and it had an idea: [Don't be impulsive, host, I have a way, and I will definitely let you eat! ]

As a top-ten excellent system, it 009 is dead! Die outside! Nor will it allow its host to eat such things!

Song Youcai saw Yun Gou'er, Yun Fan before he changed his name, peeking out of Shen Minghuan's house.

Before Yun Fan was born, his father ventured up the mountain in winter to replenish his pregnant wife's body, but accidentally fell off a cliff and died.

His mother was shocked and gave birth to Yun Fan in grief. After struggling for two days, she also followed Yun's father.

Yun Fan was a premature baby, but he was born very healthy, as if his mother had poured all her love into him, and only left with peace of mind when she saw that he was healthy and pain-free.

After sending her son and daughter-in-law away one after another, Grandma Yun was extremely sad, but she still had a grandson to raise. That was the child that her son and daughter-in-law protected with their lives, and was also her blood relative. She had to cheer up and raise this child.

A humble name is easy to raise. Grandma Yun was worried that the little baby would die suddenly like his parents, so she treated him very cautiously.

Before Yunfan was eleven years old, everyone in the village called him Yun Gou'er.

When he was eleven years old, Grandma Yun, who had worked hard all her life, passed away. Yunfan followed Gu Wenjing to the big city and then gave himself a name: Yunfan.

Putting aside the aftermath, no one in Mutian Village knows Yunfan now. They only know Yun Gou'er, a child who has grown up in the eyes of the whole village.

The villagers in Mutian Village are very kind. After Yunfan was born, every household helped a little bit. When everyone was poor and their own families were not able to eat enough, they would squeeze out some food to give to them.

The children in Mutian Village don't like Yun Gou'er. It's because if their father is fierce to them but kind to another child, few people will not be angry because of this favoritism.

Song Youcai was the heretic among them. He liked Yun Gou'er from the first time he saw him. When they didn't have to go to school and could move freely, Song Youcai basically hung out with Yun Gou'er.

Song Youcai didn't expect to see Yun Gou'er here, and he shouted excitedly from a distance: "Boss, Boss! Boss, why are you here? Are you looking for Teacher Shen too?"

Yun Gou'er didn't like others calling him Gou'er. Song Youcai was two years younger than Yun Gou'er, and he would occasionally call him "brother", but the title of "Boss" was obviously more handsome, and the child couldn't resist it at all.

Yun Gou'er, who was hesitating and wandering in front of Shen Minghuan's house, turned back when he heard the voice: "Also? What are you looking for Teacher Shen for?"

Song Youcai pouted: "My mother asked me to invite him to dinner at home."

"Oh." Yun Gou'er said coldly: "He's not here."

It was really funny that the little child deliberately broke out with an expressionless and cold look, but Yun Gou'er's anger was serious.

The children in Mutian Village didn't like Shen Minghuan, and Yun Gou'er hated him especially.

The Yun family had no adult men. Most of the land rent in the family was lent out, and the remaining small half was all taken care of by Grandma Yun.

Gou'er was filial, and when he grew up a little, he started to help Grandma Yun. After Shen Minghuan came, he had to go back to help Grandma Yun with work, so he had to skip classes. Of course, he told Grandma that the school was on vacation, free activities, and the teacher was not here...

Grandma Yun had high hopes for Yun Gou'er and would never allow Yun Gou'er to give up his studies. Gou'er kept it a secret.

Until "Shen Minghuan" came to visit.

Such a big person disappeared, the original owner was not blind, of course he could find it. He thought it was all Grandma Yun's request, for the sake of the student's future, he advised earnestly: "Aunt, I know that there are difficulties at home, so you should let Gouer study hard, only studying can change the current situation of poverty."

"You let Gouer busy with these trivial matters when he should be studying the most, this is called exhausting the pond to catch fish, learning is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, if he delays one more day, it will be more difficult to catch up."

"Shen Minghuan" has been hit by his senior brothers and sisters for so many years, and he has long lost his arrogance as a scholar, but this statement does have a kind of "why not eat meat porridge" naivety and arrogance.

Grandma Yun was afraid that Gouer's image in the teacher's mind would become worse. She did not refute "Shen Minghuan"'s words, and she didn't know how to explain, so she had to admit her mistakes again and again in a panic.

After "Shen Minghuan" left, Grandma Yun picked up a stick and beat him for the first time, crying while beating him, and asked him to promise to go to school well in the future.

Yun Gou'er hated "Shen Minghuan" not because this person caused him to be beaten, but because he felt that his grandmother was wronged in front of "Shen Minghuan", and it was this person who complained that made his grandmother so sad.

For a long time, "Shen Minghuan" was just a teacher who meddled in his childhood for Yun Fan.

Later, he grew up slowly and experienced more things, and these insignificant little complaints disappeared like the wind. "Shen Minghuan" was just a teacher in his mind. He had some impression, but not much.

When others asked about his master, he only said his mentor Gu Wenjing.

At that time, Yun Fan had already achieved success and fame, while Shen Minghuan was unknown. Even the people in Mutian Village would no longer connect the two together.

"Shen Minghuan" was just a background board. The only task of this tool man was to enlighten the protagonist and help him get the praise of his destined teacher.

After his success, he should consciously bow out, leave the stage, and choose a corner where no one pays attention to him to die. How can he have anything to do with the shining protagonist?

Shen Minghuan sneezed as he was about to reach the village chief's house.

The system immediately started to mutter: [Host, I told you to wear more clothes. Although it is summer now, it is still very cold at night, and you are not in good health...]

Shen Minghuan covered his ears: [Don't mutter, Xiaojiu, don't mutter, how can you be more nagging than Xiaobai. ]

The system paused, but couldn't help it after all: [How can this be called nagging, host, you should pay more attention to your own body, and ah, I am in your consciousness space, it's useless for you to cover your ears. ]

Shen Minghuan had no desire to live.

After no one took care of Shen Minghuan, the system finally realized how useless this person was in life. No wonder there is a saying in human beings that "God will definitely close a window when he opens a door for you."

The system had to worry about the old mother.

Song Youcai also learned from the surrounding villagers that Shen Minghuan went to see the village chief. He pulled Yun Gou'er: "Boss, you also want to see Teacher Shen. Let's go to the village chief's house together?"

Yun Gou'er brushed him away and said angrily: "I won't go. It's useless to go. It's good that he's not here. I'm going home too."

"Hey, boss." Song Youcai scratched his head, "What are you going to do with Teacher Shen? Or should I help you pass on a message?"

"Nothing." Yun Gou'er said sullenly: "Just like you, grandma also asked me to treat him to a meal."

After he said that, he kicked a stone on the side of the road: "Forget it, he won't come anyway."

No matter how much they hate him, the children in Mutian Village still admire Shen Minghuan. After all, he is one of the few college students in the country at this time.

So Wang Guihua asked Song Youcai to invite Shen Minghuan. Although he had some fear and resistance, he didn't object.

The villagers were simple and honest. They showed their gratitude by doing their best to do something for Shen Minghuan. For example, when they went to the mountains to collect firewood, they would leave some for Shen Minghuan. When they saw that Shen Minghuan's water tank was empty, they would fill it up for him. They would send Shen Minghuan a portion of the vegetables grown in front of their house... and occasionally they would invite him to their home for dinner.

The villagers were enthusiastic, and the original owner could not refuse. He accepted nine out of ten times, and the remaining one was to refuse Grandma Yun. He had no ill intentions, but he knew the difficulties of the Yun family and did not want to add more burden to them.

Because of his life experience, Yun Gou'er was sensitive and thoughtful, and he felt that Shen Minghuan despised their family because they were poor and had no good things to treat guests, so he refused again and again.

——Obviously, this person agreed to other people's invitations.

Gou'er pouted, Gou'er glared, Gou'er pretended to be disdainful.
