Protagonist:

Lin Hao

Just as Lin Hao was concentrating on thinking about this world's task, he suddenly felt a gentle touch land on his shoulder.

He subconsciously turned his head back abruptly, only to see Niu Lingling standing behind him, her face full of concern.

Niu Lingling, the person who played Li Si's mother in the drama, was also Lin Hao's adoptive mother in this life.

"Hao Hao, what's wrong with you? Why are you standing here alone in a daze?" Niu Lingling asked softly, slightly furrowing her brow.

Lin Hao quickly snapped out of his thoughts, a smile appearing on his face as he replied, "Ling Yi, it's nothing, I was just thinking about a problem."

Niu Lingling sighed softly and said gently, "You child, you always love to ponder things so much. Come eat now, surely you're starving?"

Niu Lingling ran a restaurant in the Oilfield Factory Area. Since Lin Hao started elementary school, every time after school he would come to Niu Lingling's restaurant to help out.

Niu Lingling and Li Dahai had persuaded him many times not to come help, but Lin Hao just wouldn't listen, so in the end they could only helplessly let him be.

In the restaurant, they were reluctant to let Lin Hao do heavy work, and in this process, Lin Hao had actually honed excellent culinary skills from a young age.

Unfortunately, it wasn't a skill given by the system; the system didn't recognize it, so it didn't show on the Attribute Panel.

Lin Hao's academic performance had been excellent since elementary school, always ranking first in his grade, and he naturally became a role model for the oilfield parents to educate their children.

Lin Hao and Niu Lingling finished dinner together. By now, the time had quietly come to ten o'clock. The guests in the restaurant had basically all left.

At this moment, Li Dahai also came to the restaurant. Li Dahai was the Workshop Director, and he had come to pick them up to go home.

Seeing Lin Hao, Li Dahai's face immediately broke into a smile as he said, "Hao Hao, haven't I told you many times already, you don't need to come help anymore. Just stay home and watch TV with Li Si and do your homework."

Lin Hao smiled and replied, "It's fine, Uncle, I came after finishing my homework."

Such a conversation had been repeated countless times over these years.

Li Dahai stepped forward and gently patted Lin Hao's shoulder, saying full of affection, "You child, you're just too sensible."

Afterward, the three of them walked home together.

When they returned home, Li Si heard the movement at the doorway and hurriedly turned off the TV, then nervously picked up a book, putting on a look of seriously reading.

Li Dahai, Niu Lingling, and Lin Hao opened the door and walked into the house, immediately seeing Li Si holding a book.

Li Dahai's face instantly darkened, and a surge of anger rose in his heart.

"What are you doing at home? Can't you learn from your Hao Ge and go to the restaurant to help your mom?" Li Dahai glared at Li Si, speaking in a stern tone.

Li Si curled his lip and retorted unhappily, "Isn't Hao Ge older than me? Besides, wasn't I just discharged from the hospital?"

Li Si had recently gone to the hospital for hemorrhoid surgery and was just discharged today.

Lin Hao quickly stepped in to mediate, saying, "Uncle, Li Si was just discharged from the hospital and indeed needs to rest well at home. The midterm exam is coming up soon; I won't go to the restaurant these two days after school, I'll tutor him at home."

Li Dahai walked to the sofa and sat down, shaking his head helplessly as he said, "Hao Hao, don't waste your effort. How many times have you tutored him over these years? With that head of his, no one can help."

Niu Lingling gently pushed Li Dahai and complained, "Do you talk about your own son like that?"

After speaking, Niu Lingling took out two Caishen Pendants from her pocket, handing one each to Lin Hao and Li Si, smiling as she said, "Come, you two wear this. Your uncle and I just asked for these for you two, for some good luck."

Lin Hao naturally had no objection; this wasn't the first time Niu Lingling and Li Dahai had asked for pendants for Lin Hao and Li Si. He took the pendant and put it around his neck.

However, Li Si was not very willing. He held the pendant in his hand, shook it, and said to his mother, "Mom, I can wear it, but there's a condition."

Hearing this, Niu Lingling asked, "What condition?"

Li Si said with a grin, "Give me some money."

Hearing this, Li Dahai flew into a rage and kicked toward Li Si's waist. "You little brat, all you know is asking for money. Didn't I just give you some? You're never proper all day." Li Dahai shouted angrily.

The house instantly became chaotic again.

Looking at this lively family atmosphere, Lin Hao's mood also unconsciously improved a little.

Although Li Dahai had always looked down on Li Si, after all, he was his own son. Plus, with Niu Lingling mediating in between, the house soon quieted down.

Li Si sat at the dining table, eating the dinner Niu Lingling had brought back in big mouthfuls.

Lin Hao, meanwhile, was showering in the bathroom while thinking about Li Si's condition.

After all, rectal cancer was difficult to completely cure even decades later, let alone now?

But to just give up on Li Si like this was truly too cruel.

It seemed he could only find a way to discover the condition early; perhaps treatment could begin early too.

However, discovering the condition was also a problem. Nowadays, general physical examinations basically couldn't detect rectal cancer; he still had to think of a way himself. Lin Hao furrowed his brow, sinking into deep thought.

The next day, warm sunlight gently fell on every corner of the campus. The bell for the morning large class break rang crisply, and the school broadcast announced a notice summoning all students to the playground for a general assembly.

Lin Hao was in Grade 1 Class 1; at this moment he was walking toward the playground with his classmates. Li Si and Cheng Miaomiao in Grade 1 Class 3 were also in the ranks.

Cheng Miaomiao's younger brother was in the third year of junior high at this school, one grade below them.

On the playground, students from each class were neatly lined up at their designated positions. Soon, Academic Affairs Director Xiao Fang walked onto the stage with steady steps. Her stern face made the originally somewhat noisy students below instantly quiet down.

Director Xiao cleared her throat and said in a loud voice, "Students, today we have summoned everyone here because there are two important things to say. First, last night a student violated school rules and ran to the game arcade to play games. Unfortunately, I caught him red-handed. Now, let this student come on stage to make a self-reflection."

Li Si hung his head and walked onto the stage with a face full of reluctance. Standing on stage, he was so nervous he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet, and began his self-reflection haltingly: "That... students, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have run to the game arcade to play games at night; this violated school rules and discipline. I... I will definitely correct it in the future, study hard, and not make such mistakes again." His self-reflection process could be described as chaotic, causing the students below to occasionally let out low laughter. After finishing his self-reflection, Li Si walked off the stage dejectedly, full of regret in his heart.

Next, Director Xiao said again: "Here, I want to commend a student. It was because of her report that we were able to catch the student who violated school rules in time. This student is Cheng Miaomiao from Grade 1 Class 3."

Hearing Director Xiao commend Cheng Miaomiao, Li Si was instantly furious. He glared fiercely at Cheng Miaomiao from below the stage and muttered softly: "Hmph, actually reported me, we're through."
