In late autumn in Tangli, there are fallen leaves that have not been swept away everywhere on the streets.

Fang Nian simply packed up the things he wanted to take back, such as certificates and published books.

Then post a single chapter, ask readers for a day off, and then leave the staff community.

When I got on the minibus to Daping, I met Li Annan, and Fang Nian laughed and teased him.

"Going back so early, I don't have enough money to go online."

Li Annan did not deny it, but he insisted on telling him: "Just go home early, otherwise it will get dark."

Then he asked: "Will you come over in the morning the day after tomorrow?"

"probably not."

"I wanted to ask you to go to the county to buy clothes together, but the weather has changed and I need to buy a coat."

"really……"

The two chatted for a while, and the car drove out slowly, stopping and walking, and soon Li Annan got out of the car.

After arriving at the Huajia Market, Fang Nian was lucky enough to catch the bun that was picking up students.

Save ten dollars to rent a motorcycle.

I dropped off the bread at the entrance of the village, turned onto the unhardened dirt road, and saw Fang Xin jumping to the left and then to the right.

Fang Nian took two quick steps and grabbed Fang Xin's schoolbag from behind: "Fang Xin, why are you alone again today?"

When Fang Xin saw it was Fang Nian, he stretched his body easily, called brother, and immediately shrugged.

"I was endorsed by the teacher for staying in school."

Not happy at first sight.

Fang Nian asked: "Why were you detained in court?"

"I haven't finished memorizing the text. Mom said you memorized it very fast when you were in elementary school. Why can't I?" Fang Xin pouted.

Every time he jumped, his hair just above his shoulders started to float.

Unhappiness comes and goes even faster.

Fang Nian thought for a while and said, "If you put more effort into studying, you can memorize it quickly."

"For example, walk faster when you go home in the afternoon."

After not seeing each other for more than twenty days, Fang Xin looked a little fairer than last month.

But it could also be that autumn is here, the sky is getting dark earlier, and the darkness may not be so obvious in comparison.

Fang Nian was thinking this in his mind, but he asked: "Have you taken the midterm exam yet?"

"Not yet, the teacher hasn't said anything yet."

Fang Xin quickly changed the topic.

"Dad is back, did you know..."

"let me tell you……"

The little girl's chirping voice meandered forward along with the sound of the river.

As soon as they walked past the neighbor's house, Fang Nian and Fang Xin saw Fang Zhengguo squatting under the tree beside the house, eating melon seeds.

Fang Nian shouted: "Dad."

But Fang Xin ran over quickly: "I want to eat too."

"..."

Fang Zhengguo looked much younger than he remembered in Fang Nian.

In the past, Fang Nian did not have the ability now, let alone call Fang Zhengguo back from the construction site outside as early as he does now.

As time goes by, Fang Zhengguo becomes older and older.

In my childhood memories, Fang Zhengguo was always clean and tidy, but it became increasingly rare later on.

When he was finally able to put down the burden of the family, ten years had passed accidentally, and he would never return to old age, which made Fang Nian feel deeply regretful.

Now seeing Fang Zhengguo put on his favorite suit when he was young again, squatting under a tree and cracking melon seeds leisurely, even though there was no smile on his face, Fang Nian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

A simple life is what Fang Nian looks forward to most.

"Want it?"

Fang Zhengguo took out a handful of melon seeds from his pocket and gave them to Fang Xin, then looked at Fang Nian.

Fang Nian took it with a smile: "Hey."

"Your mother said you've grown a lot taller, and now it turns out you're much taller than me."

Fang Zhengguo's standard height is only 168.

Now Fang Nian is close to 179cm tall when wearing shoes, so he looks much taller.

"Where's my mother?"

"In the house."

"..."

Regardless of whether it was his previous life or this life, Fang Nian couldn't say a few words to Fang Zhengguo most of the time, and would ask where Lin Feng was. This happened every time.

"Fang Nian, have you taken the midterm exam yet?"

Lin Feng's first words when she met Fang Nian were that she was concerned about this issue.

Fang Nian replied: "The midterm exam has been cancelled, and the city has organized a unified joint examination."

"How did you go in the exam? Did you get first place in the school?" Lin Feng looked expectant.

Fang Nian nodded: "I got it. I don't know what the school thought. They even gave me a certificate this morning."

"Show me quickly, do you still have certificates in high school?" Lin Feng's eyes lit up.

Fang Nian took out two certificates from his bag and handed them to Lin Feng: "One for first place in grade and one for best improvement. They used to be given certificates."

"How many points did you get on the test?"

"563."

"I've only made less than 30 points, so why did I get the best improvement award?"

"Because the city ranked the top 500 science students, I was ranked 291st, the only one in the eighth middle school."

"Oh yo!"

Lin Feng suddenly smiled.

"Is there any place where I can see the city rankings?"

Fang Nian took out his mobile phone: "I took a photo."

"Let me see."

"The first place is a student from Tongfeng No. 3 Middle School with a score of 623. That's awesome!"

"There are so many from County No. 1 Middle School on the list."

"It's really 291."

"Huh? Why did you change your mobile phone!"

Excited Lin Feng finally noticed this.

Fang Nian explained: "There was something wrong with the previous mobile phone and it was not very convenient to use. I replaced it with a new one, which cost more than 1,300 yuan."

"Hei Bu Liu Qiu, why do you like this style?" Lin Feng said with some disgust.

"By the way, where is your book? Have you brought it back?"

Fang Nian took out two volumes of "I Want to Be Rich" in simplified Chinese and not exaggerated style from his backpack.

Lin Feng looked left and right, but didn't say anything for a long time, and finally said: "What do you think of this name?"

"How can the author's name be called Little Broken Bowl?"

Fang Nian explained: "I didn't think much about it at the time. I was just passing the time after class. I didn't expect that so many readers would like it."

"Now both the publishing house and the website think the name is very good, so they haven't changed it."

Lin Feng took two books and flipped them from left to right: "The price is 29 yuan 8 a book?"

"It doesn't matter how much money I set. The money that should be allocated to me was all allocated last month. In fact, publishing a book does not bring much profit to the author."

Then Fang Nian took out two volumes of Traditional Chinese from his bag.

"This is the traditional Chinese version."

Lin Feng asked strangely: "Does anyone still buy the traditional Chinese version?"

Fang Nian smiled and said, "You are from Wanwan."
