Yuanyuan stood up and said proudly, "There are still four children who haven't gotten an apple, and there are four apples left!"

His fluent answer made all the other children look at him with envy.

Even Yuanbao admired his elder brother very much and praised him without hesitation, "Yuanyuan, you're so amazing!"

Yuanyuan touched the back of his head shyly and said, "It's nothing. I just learned it before."

In fact, such a math problem was no challenge for Yuanyuan. In order to cultivate him, Bradley and the others had long invited excellent teachers to teach Yuanyuan Olympic mathematics. Basically, he knew all the knowledge of primary school.

Lan Xiaoling also knew this. After getting along with him during this period, she was sure that Yuanyuan had a very high IQ and no problem could stump him.

Compared with Yuanbao, who had been with her since childhood, she had mainly taken care of his three meals a day and done part-time jobs at home to support the family. Therefore, Yuanbao had limited knowledge and was not as smart as Yuanyuan.

But both of them were her children, and Lan Xiaoling would not show favoritism to either of them. She educated them with great care.

Next, Lan Xiaoling gave a few more questions. Yuanyuan could answer all of them, but in order not to dampen the enthusiasm and confidence of the other children, Lan Xiaoling used her eyes to remind Yuanyuan to give others a chance.

The obedient Yuanyuan understood and didn't raise his hand again, giving the opportunity to the children in the village.

After a class, the atmosphere was happy and pleasant.

All the children liked Lan Xiaoling very much. As soon as the class was over, they surrounded her, sweetly calling her "Teacher Lan".

Lan Xiaoling, just like treating her own children, opened her arms and hugged them tightly.

"After you go back, practice more. Teacher Lan will have a mid-term quiz tomorrow. If you do well in the exam, Teacher Lan will take you out for sketching!"

"Yay!"

When the children heard about the sketching, they all cheered.

After that, the village chief came to check on the situation and gave Lan Xiaoling a bag of sweet potatoes from his own home. "Teacher Lan, you've been working hard during this time. There's not much good stuff in our village. Just take these sweet potatoes home and eat them."

Lan Xiaoling tried to decline, "Village chief, you're being too kind. If it weren't for your hospitality, I don't know where my children and I would have gone."

"It's all fate. Your arrival has also given the children in our village a chance to study. Everyone is very grateful to you," the village chief stroked his beard and smiled.

Lan Xiaoling didn't decline again. She took the sweet potatoes and thanked him repeatedly.

The children in the village were very independent. After school, they each carried simple schoolbags and went home. Lan Xiaoling held the hands of one child in each hand and also walked towards home.

Along the way, she would always meet her students, who would happily wave at her.

"Teacher Lan!"

Lan Xiaoling waved in response, with a happy smile on her face.

To her, Yuanyuan and Yuanbao were her children, and so were these students in the village.

She thought that if she could use the knowledge she had to educate everyone and let the children get out of the mountains, her efforts would be worth it.

As for herself, it didn't matter if she lived in these mountains for the rest of her life. As long as she didn't become an obstacle to her sister and that man, she was willing to live so cautiously for the rest of her life.

As long as everyone was well, she would be happy!

"Mummy, I want to eat roasted sweet potatoes tonight!"

Yuanbao looked at the tempting sweet potatoes in his mother's hand and said greedily.

Lan Xiaoling stroked the child's hair and smiled, "Okay, Mummy will make them for you when we get home."

Just like that, the two adults and the child went home with continuous laughter.

As usual, there were a lot of things placed at the door of the house.

There were not only fresh vegetables but also chickens, ducks, and fish.

Lan Xiaoling carefully looked around but didn't see anyone.

Since she came here a month ago, almost every day someone would send things at the same time. The key was that Lan Xiaoling had never seen this kind-hearted person.

Yuanyuan looked at the slaughtered chicken, licked his lips, and said, "Mummy, I want to eat chicken."

Generally, at such times, Lan Xiaoling would give the child some ideological education.

After all, these things appeared out of nowhere, and she couldn't just take them.

But this time, there was a piece of paper in the things, with delicate handwriting on it.

Teacher Lan, the children are growing and need nutrition. Please let them eat these things.

If Teacher Lan doesn't accept them, I'll leave these things here this time and won't take them away!

In the previous few times, Lan Xiaoling didn't accept these things but replied to this kind-hearted person by leaving a note.

Finally, this person would appear and take the things away.

But this time, the other party actually left a note, which made Lan Xiaoling hesitate.

After all, it was getting hot, and the things would go bad if left outside. Wouldn't that be a waste?

In such a poor mountain village, chickens and ducks were raised for laying eggs. But the other party actually slaughtered them and sent them to her so generously. It could be imagined that this person's status was not ordinary.

Yuanbao also tugged at the corner of Lan Xiaoling's clothes and pleaded in a low voice, "Mummy, I don't want to eat sweet potatoes anymore. I want to eat meat too."

Lan Xiaoling looked at the two children deeply.

After a few months, they had not only become much darker but also thinner.

Yuanyuan was the most obvious.

In the end, she couldn't bear the children's pleading and agreed, "Okay, Mummy can take these things. But I want to invite this kind-hearted person to have dinner with us!"

This person sent things every day but hid in the dark and refused to show up. Lan Xiaoling really wanted to meet this person and thank him in person.

So, she also wrote a note and pasted it on the wall.

"I can take the things, but please bring them in yourself."

It wasn't that she was being arrogant. It was just that only in this way could she force the other party to show up.

After putting the note in place, Lan Xiaoling carried the sweet potatoes and took the children into the house.

This was a dilapidated house. When they first moved in, it would leak water. It was the village chief and the men in the village who helped them repair it.

After Lan Xiaoling's careful arrangement, the originally simple home gradually became warm.

Although it was not as luxurious as a villa, at least the three of them were happy.

Lan Xiaoling asked the children to do their homework and then went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Of course, she was also waiting for this kind-hearted person to appear.

After a while, the door was indeed knocked on.

Lan Xiaoling thought that the person must have come and quickly went to greet him.

The moment she opened the door, she was completely stunned.

She had thought it would be a rough man from the village, but unexpectedly, standing at the door was a handsome and delicate man.

Unlike the dark skin of the men in the village, this man, although not very fair, had clean bronze skin.

When the other party saw her looking at him, he touched the back of his head a little embarrassedly. "Teacher Lan, I saw your note."

"Oh!"

Lan Xiaoling came to her senses and quickly invited the other party in and went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water.

Only then did she ask, "I haven't seen you in the village. Who are you?"
