In the unfamiliar environment, Yezhi slept lightly. When Lin Haitao returned, it was already five o'clock. Perhaps it was due to the increased popularity, but Yezhi's nap turned out to be terrible! When she finally woke up, it was already 9 AM. She hurriedly put on her clothes, washed up, grabbed her large Cloth Bag, and dashed towards the Education Committee Compound. Out of breath, she arrived at the classroom door, leaning against the wall, conflicted about whether to announce her arrival or wait until class was over. Just as she decided to go out for breakfast and wait for the class to end, the classroom door creaked open.
He Jinyan was also taken aback. "Classmate Yezhi, you're late. This is the last time." Yezhi nodded vigorously, feeling embarrassed under the gaze of her classmates as she sat down in her seat.
"Sister Yezi, why did you come so late?" With nothing to hide from Zhang Ling, Yezhi straightforwardly admitted that she had overslept!
"Hehe..." Lu Xiaoli covered her mouth and chuckled! Yezhi, who was in a bad mood that morning, shot her a glare, not understanding what was so funny. It sounded so unpleasant and grating!
"Classmates, let's continue with the lesson." He Jinyan walked back into the classroom with a teaching triangle in hand.
Throughout the morning, Teacher He lectured on geometry. Back when she was in school, Yezhi had always found geometry's angles and shapes annoying. Although Teacher He was covering simple concepts, she still felt a deep-seated aversion.
Finally enduring until class ended, Yezhi twisted around awkwardly. "Sister Yezi, I’ll make you a cushion soon; it will keep you warm and won’t be tiring," Zhang Ling said while packing up her things.
Yezhi barely had time to sigh: "Sister, you’re so nice to me!" before Lu Xiaoli mocked her: "Oh! Classmate Yezhi's bottom is so precious!" A few classmates laughed along with her!
Zhang Ling put her hands on her hips and exclaimed: "My sister is precious; what's wrong with that!"
Yezhi shamelessly chimed in: "Yeah, I'm the only precious one in my family; of course I'm valuable! Don’t you treasure your family?!" Yezhi made an expression of realization and clicked her tongue twice at Lu Xiaoli before pulling Zhang Ling away!
"Sister Yezi, did you see Lu Xiaoli's expression just now?" Zhang Ling excitedly mimicked it for Yezhi! Yezhi laughed heartily in support!
When they reached a fork in the road, Yezhi waved goodbye to Zhang Ling. However, Zhang Ling stubbornly held onto her. Only when Yezhi lied that Comrade Xiao Lin was waiting for her at home did Zhang Ling finally let go.
Upon returning to the Lin household, sure enough, Xiaobinzi was indeed waiting for her with lunch—simple fare consisting of egg soup and steamed buns brought back from the cafeteria. Xiaobinzi handed her a stack of colorful tickets that included grain tickets, oil tickets, vegetable tickets, meat tickets...
"What is this for?"
"I collected 30 bucks for rent, so I have to provide meals. There are no tickets in the city, and you can't even buy vegetables!"
"Then what do these 5 Unity bills mean?" Yezhi waved the cash and asked Lin Haitao.
Lin Haitao coughed and clenched his fist, "We don't have anything at home; you need to get some essentials!" After saying that, he rode his bicycle to work.
After class in the afternoon, Yezhi pulled Zhang Ling and headed straight to the Department Store, where they bought pots, bowls, and other kitchenware. After dropping off their purchases at Lin's house, they went to the Grain Store. They happened to arrive just as it was closing, but the lady at the Grain Store was very nice and said she could finish her shopping before closing. Yezhi bought a bag of White Noodles and filled a new white plastic jug with five pounds of Soybean Oil.
Yezhi and Zhang Ling worked together to carry the White Noodles and Soybean Oil back to Lin's house and put them in the kitchen. By this time, both were sweating profusely. Since there were no chairs in Lin's house, they had to sit on the edge of Yezhi's bed to rest.
"Sister Yezi, I'll go pick some vegetables for you. Right now at the Vegetable Store, you can't even find any vegetable leaves," Zhang Ling said while wiping her sweat with a towel that Yezhi had handed her.
"Sister, no need! We have eggs at home; I can just make some noodles!" Zhang Ling reached out and pulled Yezhi up. "Sister Yezi, come over to my house for dinner!"
Yezhi sat back down on the bed and shook her head. "Sister, I have too much to do; I won't go over to your place for a meal." No matter how thick-skinned she was, she couldn't bring herself to eat at Jiajia's house every day. Besides, this was her temporary home; she felt more comfortable here. Zhang Ling couldn't persuade Yezhi and instead was pushed toward the door. "Sister Yezi, you're really bad!" Zhang Ling stomped her foot as she left.
Yezhi turned on the Lamp Bulb and lit the stove using Zhou Xiaomu's firewood as kindling. Once it caught fire, she added some shiny Coal Balls.
When she was young, Yezhi used to light the stove this way too; however, at home, they used oil-soaked rags or twisted cotton threads as kindling.
After boiling a pot of hot water and washing all the new pots and bowls clean, Yezhi was exhausted. She mixed eggs with flour and made two pancakes, devouring them quickly. After filling her stomach, she boiled a large pot of hot water and took her new plastic bucket to the Bathhouse next to the kitchen. This small Bathhouse served as a bathroom with uneven Bluestone flooring that provided some slip resistance; unfortunately, there was no bathtub—otherwise, soaking in a bath would be such a treat!
After taking a shower, Yezhi climbed onto her bed, covered herself with a soft cotton quilt, and logged in with her consciousness.
"Master!" Xiao Fang called out happily.
“Xiao Fang, is there any feedback from the equipment?” Yezhi was most anxious about the rice bran oil extraction issue. The sooner the equipment was implemented, the sooner everyone could be freed from their tight oil usage.
“Master, Xiao Fang thinks there will be feedback in the next couple of days!” Xiao Fang nodded confidently. Yezhi opened the Cosmic Mall website, and the advertisements for her and Bai Duoya were vividly displayed before her eyes, making Yezhi feel secretly pleased.
“Master, what do you want to buy? Xiao Fang will help you!” With Xiao Fang's proactive service, Yezhi only needed to say a few words to get things done.
Xiao Fang followed her master's instructions and first bought 10 pounds of Bilo rice. Xiao Fang felt a pang in her heart: this money was wasted! They clearly had it at home but still spent a lot to buy it from Cosmic Mall. Hmph!
“Xiao Fang, don’t be like that. I actually think Cabrera's ‘Diamond Rice’ is tastier, but it looks so shiny that I don’t even know how to explain it as rice. I can only choose our village's Bilo!” Yezhi had just tasted the Diamond Rice; it was delicious and beautiful, and she was still infatuated with it.
“Master, please don’t mention it again; Xiao Fang feels heartbroken!” Xiao Fang covered her heart with a distressed expression.
Yezhi bought some cooking ingredients online, a packet of flower seeds called “Winter Beauty,” and a piece of purified Energy Stone. Of course, it couldn’t compare to The Miracle of Druba’s “energy,” as their prices were worlds apart—one was 99,999,999 and the other 99,999.
“Master, you’re overweight!” Xiao Fang exclaimed urgently. Yezhi shrugged dismissively, “It will arrive the day after tomorrow; that’s fine!”
Xiao Fang circled around Yezhi, trying to stop her master from spending recklessly. “Master, are you still going to buy the oil extraction equipment?” This question was particularly effective; Yezhi smiled and stopped her purchases. She didn’t know if she had learned bad habits from Dulisa, but seeing Xiao Fang’s miserly appearance made her want to tease it even more. The more anxious Xiao Fang became, the more delighted Yezhi felt after succeeding in teasing her.
Dulisa wanted to quickly finish her scenes with Xianruipu. As long as she could endure the disgust and let Xianruipu finish touching her jade-like hands, everything would be okay!
Just as victory seemed within reach for Dulisa, suddenly her nose itched, and she sneezed. The director shouted “Cut!” causing Dulisa’s beautiful face to twist in frustration. “Do it again!” Those two words made Dulisa feel utterly exasperated. “I’m not filming anymore!” With that statement, Dulisa dashed out of the set without any professional ethics.
