Chapter 106 An Hua, I'm Back
Chapter 106 An Hua, I'm Back
"Boss Feng, are you really going to have these kids make breakfast from now on?"
After breakfast, the children went to wash the dishes, while Ji Lu whispered to Feng Shuyuan with a bitter face.
"what happened?"
Feng Shuyuan was also feeling somewhat exhausted.
"I'm so hungry this morning."
Ji Lu is crying with a cat head.
She looked distressed, frowned, and muttered under her breath:
"I get up in the morning and wait for breakfast. I'm too embarrassed to rush you or go eat something else, so I just wait there and grit my teeth and bear it."
"It's okay, they'll get used to it."
Feng Shuyuan patted her shoulder, trying to comfort her.
However, these words did not comfort Ji Lu.
She pouted, a hint of accusation in her eyes:
"It's really too hard for me to wait for them to make breakfast on an empty stomach every day."
Consolation failed.
"Okay, I'll start cooking for them earlier from now on, to make room for teaching."
Ji Lu then smiled broadly.
Feng Shuyuan glanced at Ji Lu.
That girl, isn't that exactly what she's up to?
……
In this way, Feng Shuyuan and Ji Lu taught on the bus while traveling between different military regions to cook for the soldiers on the border.
These children have grown rapidly through continuous teaching and dumpling-making activities.
At first, they would only help Feng Shuyuan with some simple preparatory work.
As their skills improved, they were no longer satisfied with just making breakfast.
"Boss Feng, could you guide us on how to cook dinner tonight?"
The fourth brother ran over excitedly.
Feng Shuyuan smiled.
It turns out that instructing others on how to cook is much more tiring than cooking yourself.
Feng Shuyuan entered the kitchen and watched as Ying Ziping, the second brother, the third brother, and the fourth brother worked together busily to prepare dinner.
Ying Ziping was in charge of stir-frying, the third brother was in charge of chopping vegetables, the fourth brother was in charge of making soup, and the second brother was in charge of helping out, running around wherever help was needed.
Feng Shuyuan had to remind the third brother to pay attention to the force when cutting vegetables, help the fourth brother adjust the heat of the soup, and even teach Ying Ziping how to master the timing of stir-frying. He was extremely busy.
However, when the food was finally served, Feng Shuyuan was extremely pleased.
It turns out that I do have some talent for teaching.
And so, the task of preparing meals on the bus was gradually handed over to the children.
In addition, a new companion has been added to the vehicle.
Along the way, Feng Shuyuan encountered even more homeless and begging children.
She did the same thing, giving them nutrient solution and asking them to help her deliver things.
Looking at these children, Ying Ziping seemed to see his former self.
"Brother, if we hadn't delivered the goods back then, would we have had the chance to leave with Boss Feng?"
Once again, they stopped at the campsite, but the bag hadn't arrived. The second brother quietly said to Ying Ziping.
"Yes, but Boss Feng is kind-hearted and left them enough food."
Whether or not to come is a personal choice.
Some people do it because of greed, while others do it because they can't let go of their families.
However, Ying Ziping still feels a pang of sadness when he looks at these children.
If I hadn't delivered the bag back then, and had only focused on immediate gains, I'd probably still be begging in this dilapidated house, unable to lead my younger siblings to the life I dream of.
The second son nodded and fell into deep thought.
Every time they see those hesitant children, they think of their own choices back then.
Looking back now, following Feng Shuyuan's decision completely changed their fate.
As they passed through several more military regions, the number of people on the vehicle began to increase again.
At this point, Ying Ziping fulfilled his responsibility as the eldest brother.
New children always need time to adapt to a new environment, and Ying Ziping, as the "elder brother" in the team, has plenty of experience in taking care of children, so he naturally became the leader of these children.
He not only had to teach the new children to read and write and cook, but also help resolve their minor conflicts.
Whenever Ying Ziping sees a new child feeling scared or confused because they are not used to it, he always patiently comforts them.
By the time they reached the last military region, Ying Ziping had more than 20 children under his command.
He also became a true king of the kids.
……
As we stepped into the last border camp, the long-awaited system notification sounded.
[Hidden quest completed. Rewards: 1. Fruit with 90% pollution level. 2. Activate a 10% pollution shield.]
[Pollution Shield Instructions: Automatically recharges when in a pollution-free area; manual use can protect against pollution.]
Finally finished.
Feng Shuyuan breathed a long sigh of relief.
However, her attention was immediately drawn to what she had acquired.
"System, with this pollution shield, can I now travel to highly polluted areas?"
This was the first time Feng Shuyuan had ever heard of such a thing.
That user manual is worse than not reading it at all; it's more reliable to let the system explain it proactively.
[Over 85% of pollution cannot be eliminated by the human body; your current level is at most 95%.]
[Furthermore, don't treat the shield as a panacea. A full charge only lasts for about ten minutes; don't expect it to protect you indefinitely.]
"I see. So if I have a 20% protective shield, can I enter a 100% contaminated area and use 90% of the contaminated fruit?"
Feng Shuyuan asked with a cheerful smile.
[Are you stacking buffs here? The Contamination Fruit is only effective when used in the core of the contamination area; the protective shield won't last you 10 minutes to reach the core of the contamination area.]
The system ruthlessly poured cold water on Feng Shuyuan's hopes, shattering her fantasy.
"That's it."
Although he wanted to resolve the pollution as soon as possible, Feng Shuyuan wouldn't risk his life.
Moreover, judging from the system's current indication, it will eventually provide itself with the necessary tools to deal with pollution, so there's no need to rush.
After a brief conversation with the system, Feng Shuyuan hurriedly returned to his work.
Ji Lu was frantically calling for her outside.
She had already skillfully completed the preliminary preparations and was waiting for her outside with the 25 selected soldiers.
……
After leaving the camp and getting out of the car, Feng Shuyuan suddenly felt a sense of relief.
Ah, before I knew it, I'd already been away for a month.
Although she would go back to Anhua whenever she had free time, those brief stays always made her feel uneasy, as if she always had a sense of drifting.
It turns out that without realizing it, she had already come to regard An Hua as her home in this world.
Thinking about it, Feng Shuyuan unconsciously smiled.
The familiar Anwar, the familiar city without night, the familiar life of running a business!
I, Feng Shuyuan, am back!
