The teachers found that to improve efficiency, they could add a couple of extra large ladles to the porridge station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shan Qingrong patted Jiang Ning on the shoulder and said, “Follow me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then used the ladle to start a new queue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The students queuing next to them were still waiting foolishly when they saw that Shan Qingrong, with a ladle in hand, served Jiang Ning two bowls of porridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning held one in each hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Yuantong, carrying Geng Lu’s bowl, was wandering around the dining table. She had lost sight of Jiang Ning earlier due to the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him return, Xue Yuantong found her anchor: “Bai Yuxia and Geng Lu have gone to get steamed buns; let’s help them get some food!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning had no objections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He and Xue Yuantong lined up together, but this time they weren’t as lucky as before; the new queue that Shan Qingrong had opened was already full.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Shan Qingrong couldn’t very well let them cut in line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Jiang Ning chose to queue up at Guo Ran’s station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Ran was a young teacher, hard-working; she wielded a huge ladle, continuously serving soup to students. The handle of the ladle was quite long, making it somewhat tiresome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time it was Jiang Ning’s turn, Guo Ran’s arm was trembling slightly from fatigue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked up, saw it was Jiang Ning, and a smile touched her eyes, dispelling the rushed atmosphere and creating a warm, friendly vibe:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jiang Ning, which one do you want?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, she lifted the ladle, intending to serve Jiang Ning some porridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning quickly took the ladle, as if performing a magic trick, relieving her of it:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Teacher, let me do it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ladled out some corn porridge for Bai Yuxia, having Tongtong help carry it away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he scooped up some milk oatmeal porridge for Geng Lu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he was done, he returned the ladle to Guo Ran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Jiang Ning got back to the small dining table, Bai Yuxia had already returned, and they had picked up a basket of steamed buns from the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thanks!” Geng Lu’s little tiger teeth appeared again, breathing a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone had their tasks, all was ready, and it was time to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At table 27 not too far away, another scenario was unfolding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gangzi, do you want an egg pancake?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Chi, empty-handed, picked up a piece of egg pancake and handed it to his close friend Duan Shigang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the previous days, Duan Shigang had brought him breakfast every morning. Although those days were over, Zhang Chi was not the type to forget a kindness. Now he was returning the favor with an egg pancake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duan Shigang wasn’t shy; he grabbed it and took a big bite, finishing it in just three bites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Chi pointed at the plate: “Brother Gang, eat, eat!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then both of them reached out for a pancake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Tianpeng said, “You bunch of bumpkins, watch how I eat!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he grabbed a piece of pancake, pulled out a small food spoon, and reached towards the middle dish of the three on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stir-fried green chilies with dry shrimps—a dish perfect for accompanying rice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the stir-fried mung bean sprouts with sanzi and spicy shredded potato on either side, this dish appeared a bit more luxurious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Tianpeng made a precise move and scooped up a full spoonful of dry shrimps, but that wasn’t enough; he scooped up another spoonful, visibly depleting the dish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wrapped the shrimps in two pieces of egg pancake and devoured them with gusto, thoroughly enjoying himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Sheng returned with a bowl just in time to see the plate with 8 egg pancakes now reduced to only two pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed at the three of them and exclaimed angrily, “These pancakes are to be shared equally by everyone, one per person!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the midst of speaking, Zhang Chi grabbed another one, completely indifferent: “I didn’t know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t show the slightest bit of guilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Sheng was very annoyed; Zhang Chi was impervious to shame, his skin thicker than that of an ox.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze then turned to the burly Yan Tianpeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Yan Tianpeng’s egg pancake was almost gone, Song Sheng seized the moment, snatched up his chopsticks, and grabbed the last piece of pancake for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly claimed his portion of corn before it could be taken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Tianpeng reached out and found nothing, so he simply grabbed another piece of corn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Shi Qianjin returned with a basket of steamed buns, all the egg pancakes and corn on the plate were gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the worst part was the stir-fried green chilies and dry shrimps dish in the middle—all the shrimps were missing, leaving only chilies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Qianjin: “Damn!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yan Yan and Li Shengnan arrived together, only to discover the unsettling situation at their table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone had dared to infringe on their interests, and Li Shengnan, in towering rage, bellowed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where’s my pancake?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At table 26, the scene was quite different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Kunnan wanted to help class 7’s Lu Yaya with her porridge, but she declined; however, he felt no disappointment. There would be plenty of opportunities to grow closer in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Nan, did you get my porridge?” Dan Kaiquan set down the basket of steamed buns on the dining table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Kunnan’s smile remained bright, and he reassured confidently, “Hey, you can count on me when I’m in charge.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Shicheng: “Where’s Yu Zhu?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Jun, Wang Longlong, Lu Qiqi, and Tan Meiling were all seated, with only Yu Zhu missing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a few seconds, Huang Yuzhu arrived with the basket of steamed buns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Shicheng said, “Yu Zhu, next time let’s decide who gets the bread; don’t always take it upon yourself, fairness is key.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Yuzhu, with an honest face: “It’s no trouble.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sit down, your porridge is ready,” Ma Shicheng tapped his chopsticks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Yuzhu awkwardly muttered thanks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Kunnan surveyed the table; it was a 4×2 rectangular table with seats welded to the edges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rationalized in his mind, then spoke up, “Guys, this table is a bit long, and it’s hard to reach for dishes from the edge seats; ladies first, let them sit inside.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1195,"2026-05-30T14:40:01.747Z","2026-06-01T04:31:29.709Z",1,"novelbin.me","c34450516cd09db815dea5d418a368f6164bd0e334760d443b7efbf23ac03c18","rebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-chapter-615","rebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-chapter-613",1809,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
