If life had a starting line, someone was born in Rome

Chapter 214: A prosperous life limits my imagination ([-]-in-[-])

Everyone headed towards Xiangzhang Village along the way they came.

Perhaps because everyone had something to gain, the children were silent a lot on the way back.

It wasn't until it was dark that they returned to Lin Feng's courtyard.

"Whoo~"

Wu Peng took a long breath and smiled at everyone:

"Are you hungry? I'm going to cook."

Hearing Wu Peng's words, Lin Feng smiled and patted his shoulder:

"Just eat something simple, don't be too tired."

"Uh-huh."

Wu Peng nodded and trotted into the kitchen.

It was like he didn't get any meaty food today. He was really hungry and had to make up for his stuttering quickly.

Zhang Yunshu, Zhou Zicheng, and Sun Wei touched their deflated bellies and followed Wu Peng consciously.

"Me too! See what I can do."

"Wu Peng, I'll wash the vegetables."

"Then I'll light a fire."

Lin Feng listened to the chirping sounds of the children and smiled:
"Help each other and discuss things with each other, which is good."

After that, he didn't care about the things in the kitchen and went back to the house to sort out the lesson plans.

In the kitchen, Wu Peng put on an apron calmly, showing off his natural temperament as a master chef.

He first took out a few potatoes and handed them to Zhang Yunshu:

"Sister Yunshu, please help me peel the potatoes, then cut them into cubes and wash them with cold water."

Then, he reached for the bacon hanging on the beam and called Sun Wei while taking it:

"Sister Sun, please light up the fire a little more. I'll burn off the skin of the meat and remove the remaining hair and dust. I'll make bacon stewed rice for you guys today."

Hearing the word "meat", Zhou Zicheng swallowed his saliva and his stomach growled:

"Today we are hiking a long distance, and we don't have any fuel or water in our stomachs. We are really hungry."

Upon hearing this, Wu Peng paused his hand and sighed:

"I don't know if Uncle Zhou and Grandpa Li will have meat dishes for dinner today. If they still have potatoes..."

Wu Peng shook his head and sighed:

"Alas~! It's okay for a day or two, but I won't be able to keep up with my nutrition for a long time."

Zhang Yunshu looked at the potatoes in his hand, and then thought of the children eating roasted frogs, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart:
"It is very likely that the two judges will have potatoes for dinner. After all, the conditions are there. It is not easy to have a full stomach with anything nutritious or not."

Sun Wei burned the fire vigorously, and while gesturing to Wu Peng to put the bacon on the rack, she chatted:

"Oh, it's really not easy!"

"Think about when I was at home, I wore big-name clothes, ate imported ingredients, lived in a villa, and had a driver pick me up when I went out."

"With my imagination, I can only imagine that in this world, the poor live a life of wearing unbranded clothes, eating ordinary ingredients from the vegetable market, renting an apartment, and going out to ride an electric bicycle."

"So, when I saw the situation in Xiangzhang Village, I felt shocked. I brought a lot of supplies from home to help the villagers here."

"At that time, I felt that Xiangzhang Village was the poorest and poorest place."

"But after I got here, I followed Teacher Lin to Huapin and Xiawa Village."

"I just realized that there is a poorer place in this world than Xiangzhang Village."

Wu Peng sighed and put the bacon on the flames:
"Who doesn't? Wealth limits our imagination!"

"At that time, I looked down on the students in Xiangzhang Village. I felt that a pair of shoes was worth their family's annual expenses. I was very proud of that."

"Now that I think about it, I am just fascinated by the feasting and entertainment in the city, and I rely on material things for everything."

"I feel that the more material things I have enjoyed, the more I have seen the world."

"Now that I think about it, I'm such a fool."

The bacon emits a unique fragrance when burned by the flames.

But this fragrance did not make Zhou Zicheng feel hungry, because his thoughts were already far away:

"So, the level of poverty in many places is beyond the imagination of those of us who grew up in the city."

Zhang Yunshu nodded in agreement, looking a little frustrated:
"Even though our family is pretty good, we still can't help these people. It's quite powerless."

Speaking of this, the expressions on the faces of the four children were a little incomprehensible.

The viewers in the live broadcast room heard the discussions and thoughts of the four children and started chatting.

"Wu Peng, this child, can actually say such things. He has really grown up."

"My electronic Hakimi is working hard to grow!"

"Children, poverty is actually an unsolvable problem. Don't think about it so much and be happy."

"The sadness caused by this kind of thinking is the only way to grow up, right?"

"Children, Teacher Lin, Judge Zhou, and Judge Li are all working hard to change this situation. Don't be depressed. There are still many good people in this world."

“Maybe these children will be able to give back to this land in the future.”

"Children are the future. This scene is enough to prove that Teacher Lin educates them very well!"

"..."

Amid the discussion of the audience, a fragrant pot of bacon and potato stewed rice was served.

"Teacher Lin, it's time to eat!"

Wu Peng's voice carried far away in the night.

"Come on!"

Lin Feng smiled slightly, simply cleared the table, got up and came to the yard.

Now that the temperature is pleasant, it’s perfect to eat in the small courtyard.

When I went out, I saw that the children had almost laid out the rice. Each person had a bowl of stewed rice, and there were a few plates of pickles in the middle. It was simple.

Lin Feng smelled the aroma of the food, moved his index finger, and praised sincerely:
"It smells so good, kids, thank you for your hard work."

Hearing Lin Feng's praise, the four children smiled happily.

"Okay, sit down and eat."

After hearing Lin Feng's words, the four children sat down together.

Wu Peng held the bowl, paused, and reminded:
"Sister Yunshu, brother Zicheng, eat according to the rules."

Zhang Yunshu and Zhou Zicheng smiled brightly at Wu Peng:
"I can't eat!"

"I already understood it when I watched the live broadcast before, thank you for reminding me."

Lin Feng smiled:
"Well, let's go."

In the small courtyard, there were only the gentle sounds of clinking bowls and chopsticks, and the gentle sound of chewing.

It can be seen that the children are very hungry. Although their voices are soft, they are adding food very quickly.

Everyone worked together and finished a whole pot of stewed rice, then patted their bulging bellies and felt comfortable.

After cleaning up the dining table and kitchen, the four children lay lazily in the courtyard enjoying the cool air.

"I feel so full and exhausted that I don't want to move anymore."

Zhang Yunshu stretched and looked at the stars in the sky, with a bit of surprise in his eyes.

"The stars in Xiangzhang Village are so beautiful. You can't see them in the city. It would be great if the transportation here was better. We can develop tourism and organize everyone to see the stars."

Zhou Zicheng looked at the night and shook his head:

"The stars are beautiful, but the development of tourism must have outstanding features. Just to see the night sky, people should prefer to go to the polar regions. The aurora there is not found in other places."

"Oh."

Zhang Yunshu held his chin, looking thoughtful.

A breeze blew, bringing with it the fragrance of earth and the chirping of insects and frogs.

This gave her an idea:
"Then let's focus on a natural and pollution-free one!"

"Oxygen bar, have you heard of this concept? The environment in Xiangzhang Village is completely adequate."

"Build more farmhouses so that tourists can eat pollution-free ingredients and breathe the most natural air, which will be a pleasure."

When Wu Peng heard this idea, he smiled and looked at Zhang Yunshu:

"Sister Yun Shu, I find that your mind is full of business knowledge."

"Then you have to be careful. The pollution-free ingredients in the farmhouse are all taken from anywhere. Don't accidentally get some animals and rare plants as ingredients, it will be a waste."

When Wu Peng said this, Zhou Zicheng also laughed:
"We wanted to make frog dry pot during the day. How could we know at that time that something that is everywhere in Xiangzhang Village was still a treasure?"

Speaking of this, Sun Wei also felt sad:
"We almost got into trouble, but luckily Teacher Lin and Uncle Zhou were watching us."

Wu Peng nodded: "So, our knowledge is still too little, and we should study hard."

Speaking of this, Wu Peng looked at Lin Feng, who was taking a nap silently, and ran in front of him:
"Teacher Lin, I want to learn more about law. How about you take us to see two judges tomorrow?"

Wu Peng took the lead, and Zhang Yunshu and the other three also gathered around.

"Teacher Lin, can we still learn from Uncle Zhou and Grandpa Li?"

"One day is not enough, Teacher Lin."

"Let's learn more about this knowledge. Maybe it will come in handy in the future."

"teacher LIN……"

Listening to everyone's eager requests, Lin Feng smiled:
"Aren't you tired from walking such a long mountain road?"

"Tired, but happy!"

The children answered decisively.

Lin Feng smiled slightly and nodded:

"Okay~ I will take you to Uncle Zhou and Judge Li tomorrow."

After the words fell, the audience in the live broadcast room suddenly became happy.

"Oh, that's great!"

"Teacher Lin, just pamper them."

"Hahaha, we also want to learn more knowledge from the two judges, so we will continue to stay in the live broadcast room tomorrow."

"I wonder what case the two judges will hear tomorrow?"

“Just look forward to it!”

"..."

At the scene, the four children were very happy when they heard that Lin Feng agreed to their request.

"Teacher Lin, you are so kind!"

Zhou Zicheng patted his chest and assured:

"I will definitely learn from the two judges and my performance will be better than today."

Zhang Yunshu also clapped his hands and said with a smile:
"One day of study is simply not enough time. Teacher Lin, you still understand us."

Wu Peng looked forward to it:

"I don't know what case I will encounter tomorrow? I must study hard then."

Sun Wei patted his shoulder:

"Don't worry, no matter what, I believe Uncle Zhou will make us gain something."

Looking at the happy children, Lin Feng thought for a moment and reminded them:

"We will bring our own dry food tomorrow, and also bring some supplies to Uncle Zhou and the others. It is not easy for them to walk in the mountains."

When Wu Peng heard this, he immediately became excited:

"I'll steam the buns and fry some meat sauce, and there's still time!"

Other children responded:
"I'm here to help!"

"And I!"

"..."

Then, Lin Feng looked at the four children. He changed his look of being full and exhausted just now, and entered the kitchen in a hurry.

This scene made Lin Feng feel a surge of warmth, and his eyes were filled with relief.

He did not interfere with the children, but continued to look up at the sky.

At this moment, Zhou Cheng is also looking up at the sky, right?

What we see is the same sky.

Lin Feng looked at the night sky quietly, listening to the sounds of pots and pans coming from the kitchen, and slowly cleared his mind.

As for Wu Peng, while he was busy working, he was also thinking about things.

He was thinking about himself.

Before coming to Xiangzhang Village, I was very impatient when it came to studying, let alone studying happily.

But why am I so happy today when I talk about going to Uncle Zhou and the others to study tomorrow?

I knead the dough much more vigorously, and it feels like learning gives me strength...

This is completely different from my previous self!
Is it because you like the law?
Then should I study law when I grow up?
Wu Peng thought about it and was a little undecided, mainly because this feeling was so unfamiliar.

So, taking advantage of the opportunity, Wu Peng touched Lin Feng's face.

"teacher LIN?"

Lin Feng was called back from his idle thoughts by this call. He looked at Wu Peng, whose hands were still stained with flour, and smiled slightly:
"Why did you run out without washing your hands?"

Then, he looked at the other three children busy in the child's kitchen and said to Wu Peng clearly:
"Is there something you can't figure out, so you want to ask the teacher for advice?"

Wu Peng nodded:

"It's my old policy to come to you when I'm in trouble."

Lin Feng chuckled, this kid is serious.

"Go ahead."

"It's like this..."

Wu Peng quickly told Lin Feng what he had just thought, and then asked him:

"Teacher Lin, this feeling is so unfamiliar to me. Please tell me, should I just set a goal and study law in the future?"

Listening to Wu Peng's narration, Lin Feng knew that the fire in this child's heart had been ignited.

However, it takes time and opportunity for a spark to start a prairie fire.

"Wu Peng, the teacher cannot directly give you a definite answer of 'yes' or 'no'."

Lin Feng said to Wu Peng seriously:

"Because this is your dream, your future. It must follow your heart. The teacher's advice has no reference value."

"What I want to tell you is, don't rush, we still have time, take your time."

"The result is not determined now. The result will grow slowly during your actions, you know?"

Wu Peng smiled when he heard Lin Feng's explanation.

At this moment, he cleared the clouds and saw the sun:
"I see, thank you teacher."

The future is still very long, follow your heart and you will always find your own answer.

Wu Peng bowed slightly towards Lin Feng, then turned around and ran back to the kitchen.

With the sound of the spatula colliding, the aroma of the food overflows and spreads far and wide...

This night, Wu Peng lay on the bed with the smell of food all over his body.

With these scents on his pillow, he slept very sweetly.

In the dream, a badge shone brightly.

…………

The next day, as soon as it got dark, Wu Peng and Sun Wei came to school together.

When they arrived, Zhang Yunshu and Zhou Zicheng were already waiting at the school.

As agreed yesterday, we will start from here today.

The four children met and checked the schoolbags on each other's backs. There was food they had prepared in it. They wanted to bring it to Uncle Zhou and Grandpa Li, so they couldn't leave it behind.

Soon, Lin Feng arrived with the program team's car.

Everyone got on the bus. This time the director was familiar with the road conditions, and the speed was much faster than yesterday.

We still got off the car and switched to walking, with anticipation, and no one in the crowd complained that they were tired.

Two and a half hours later, the group arrived at Xiayao Village.

Just after entering the village, before they had time to walk to the house where Zhou Cheng and the others stayed yesterday, they saw many villagers surrounding them, three floors inside and three floors outside.

Because the children had followed Zhou Cheng to visit all the farmers in Xiaya Village yesterday, so after a few glances, they confirmed——

These villagers are not from Xiaya Village.

Taking a closer look, two judges, Zhou Cheng and Li Fengmao, were surrounded by big guys, and they were tugging at each other, looking a little rude.

The crowd was so noisy that it was hard to hear what was being said.

This left several children confused——

What's the situation?
