Ning Xi made jam and snacks from the fruits she won in the lottery in the system mall and sold them on the black market. She saved the money she earned and spent money on renting a house in the city and paying tuition for Xiao Fangming.

On weekdays, when he has free time, Ning Xi teaches him how to read.

Xiao Fangming is smart and learns quickly. He can read children's books in less than a year.

There were no entertainment programs in this era, so Ning Xi bought a few fairy tales from the system mall and occasionally read them to him.

Under the same old yellow plum tree, Ning Xi sat on the wicker chair, and Xiao Fangming sat on the small wooden pillar, leaning against her knees, with his round little head leaning over to listen to her story.

As Ning Xi talked, she found that he was looking at her.

"Did you hear it?"

He still didn't speak and just nodded.

Ning Xi picked him up and put him on her lap, and Xiao Fangming naturally wrapped his hands around her neck.

She pinched his face and said, "I won't read to you anymore. You can read it yourself."

Xiao Fangming listened and soon fell asleep.

…

Ning Xi found that raising this child was not too troublesome.

When she went to work in the morning, she cooked porridge for him. When he got up, he would brush his teeth, wash his face, and have breakfast.

Even without Ning Xi's instructions, he washed the dishes obediently.

The rest of the time, he would read in the small yard and wait for Ning Xi to come back.

One day, Ning Xi suffered a heat stroke while working, and Liang Minxue, an educated youth who also went to the countryside, sent her back.

Yes, Ning Xi did not expect that Liang Minxue would be here at this node. She wondered if this was the fault of the main system.

However, she found that this Liang Minxue was completely different from the previous one.

Instead of being with Zhu Yulin, he paid attention to this female educated youth from his hometown, and he seemed to be pursuing her.

Other people seemed to be interested in matching them, but Ning Xi just remained unmoved.

She knew very well that she came back only to redeem Xiao Fang Ming and didn't care about other things.

Xiao Fangming was reading in the yard when he suddenly heard a knock on the door. He walked over and opened the door.

Seeing Ning Xi being helped back by a man, he pursed his lips and had no expression on his face.

Ning Xi turned around and said to Liang Minxue: "Liang Zhiqing, thank you very much. I'm fine."

After saying that, she closed the courtyard door and went back.

"Ning Xi."

A clear sound sounded, like a sound hitting the surface of a lake, causing ripples in circles.

Ning Xi looked back at Xiao Fangming, "Are you able to speak?"

She walked over and knelt down in front of him.

Xiao Fangming looked at her with dark eyes and said in a clear voice, "Ning Xi."

Ning Xi laughed out loud, stretched out her finger and poked his head, "You're a little kid but you're a big kid!"

She rolled her eyes and said, "Call me sister from now on."

…

A few days later, Ning Xi took him to the town to start a new life.

She rented a house near a primary school and began to accompany her to school.

Although Xiao Fangming is young, he is smart and with Ning Xi's guidance, he can keep up with the school's progress as soon as he enters school.

However, he still doesn't like to talk.

It hasn't been long since school started.

Ning Xi asked seriously, "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing." He responded calmly.

Ning Xi didn't believe it. When she was in school, she went to find someone to ask.

As a result, the teacher said it was nothing.

She still didn't believe it.

After class, she stood outside the gate and looked through the fence to see what was going on inside.

Ning Xi could no longer hold back her anger and rushed over the fence.

She pulled little Fang Ming in front of her, picked up the book and went to find the teacher.
