After rebirth, I found out that I have a childhood sweetheart

"Then don't regret it. How much do you want to bet? Two dollars a bet."

"5 bets, all the same."

"Here, here you go."

Mei Fang asked the shop owner for the lottery ticket he had bought. Xia Yuan kept pulling at his clothes, "Okay... can we go now?"

"Alright, alright, let's go."

Mei Fang was contented to get the code to his wealth after rebirth, but Xia Yuan seemed very unhappy.

"Mei Fang, you are so mean. You borrowed money from me just to buy this thing. You even lied to that uncle just now, saying that you were running errands for dad..."

"I didn't lie. I was just running errands for my father." Mei Fang stuck out her tongue.

"Then why doesn't your father give you money?"

"My father has no money. The money is all with my mother. I will pay you back later."

"How could the Lord have no money? I don't believe it."

Xia Yuan puffed up her cheeks and looked very unhappy. Mei Fang thought about it and felt a little embarrassed for having lied to her.

"Alright, alright, we're done. Now we can go on an adventure together!"

"Isn't the adventure you're talking about the one just now?" Xia Yuan tilted his head in confusion.

"That was just running errands." Mei Fang wiped his nose, "From now on, we are on a real adventure."

After hearing what Mei Fang said, Xia Yuan's brows that were originally furrowed in anger finally relaxed, and her pouty mouth slightly raised, "Where are we...going?"

"follow me."

Mei Fang took Xia Yuan for a stroll on the street. He thought that this kind of child must have never been shopping alone, so he could just take a stroll and then return to the community.

Although this was a street she often walked hand in hand with her parents, Xia Yuan was full of curiosity about everything around her.

Children of this age have many things they want to try, but their parents always stop them on the grounds that they are unsafe.

Cats in the pet shop window, an old stone bridge over the river, and a bustling street market.

The more crowded the place was, the tighter Xia Yuan held Mei Fang's clothes. Xia Yuan walked slower and almost tore Mei Fang's clothes.

"What are you doing so hard?"

Xia Yuan hesitantly explained, "If you suddenly disappeared, I would be lost..."

Mei Fang thought for a moment and said, "Then just hold my hand instead of pulling my clothes."

"it is good!"

Xia Yuan clenched Mei Fang's hand tightly. The warmth from his palm immediately made her feel much more at ease.

At the end of the busy street, there was a vendor selling cotton candy. Xia Yuan stopped here and watched the cotton candy owner making cotton candy on the spot. The children around him formed a circle around him. A big sign on the cotton candy said the price was 1 yuan per piece.

"You want to eat this?"

Xia Yuan nodded, "But my mother never buys it for me."

"You can't buy this, you can't buy that, your life must be so tiring... You have so much money in your wallet, what can you buy?"

"Stationery and stickers and stuff..."

Mei Fang sighed and said, "It's a pity that I don't have money. If I had money, I would definitely treat you to cotton candy."

"Well...how about this, I have money, I can lend it to you first, and then you can buy it for me."

"..."

Mei Fang watched the silly girl take out two coins from her bag and then hand them to her with a look of full expectation.

"Uncle, I want some marshmallows."

Mei Fang handed the cotton candy she bought to Xia Yuan, "Here, it's my treat."

"Thank you...but the marshmallow is so big, I can't finish it by myself. Can we share it?"

"I don't need it, you can eat it yourself."

Xia Yuan took a bite of the marshmallow and was immediately shocked by its melt-in-the-mouth texture.

"It melts as soon as you lick it. So greasy and delicious!"

"As long as you like it..."

Although she was from a wealthy family, she was still just a little girl who had never seen the world.

Xia Yuan focused all her attention on eating the marshmallows, with her other hand still being held by Mei Fang. As expected, her face was covered with so much marshmallows that she looked like a harlequin cat.

After that, Xia Yuan kept crying, worried that her mother would find out. It was not until Mei Fang took her back to the sink in the community to wash her face that she stopped crying.

As the sun sets and smoke rises from cooking fires, the aroma of home-cooked meals can already be smelled in every household in the community.

Xia Yuan and Mei Fang sat on a bench in the community to rest. Xia Yuan was wiping his face with a handkerchief while Mei Fang was bathing in the evening sunset.

The temperature in June was just right. The sounds of snack vendors speaking in a dialect outside the community came closer and closer, and she felt as if she were in another world. Mei Fang subconsciously closed her eyes and enjoyed the tranquility of the moment.

It has been a long time since I have experienced such a leisurely and relaxing time...

When Mei Fang opened his eyes, he found Xia Yuan holding his cheek with one hand, staring at him with curiosity.

"Mei Fang, what are you thinking about?"

Mei Fang said bluntly, "I am thinking about how to make a lot of money in the future."

Xia Yuan puffed up her cheeks immediately, "Your dream is too boring!"

"So what do you want to be when you grow up?"

"As for me..." Xia Yuan thought for a while and answered, "In the future, I want to be a primary school teacher like my mother."

"So your mother is a teacher? Why do you want to do this job..."

Based on Mei Fang's understanding of Xia Yuan, he thought that Xia Yuan, who had the personality of a little angel, would say something like being a selfless gardener who burns herself to light up others.

However, Xia Yuan's answer surprised Mei Fang.

"Because, teachers have a lot of holidays, Saturdays, Sundays, summer vacation, winter vacation, Mid-Autumn Festival, New Year's Day, and get off work very early. My mother is like that, it's so easy!"

Well... I have to say, children's thoughts are really pure.

Mei Fang tapped Xia Yuan's head gently.

"Why did you hit me..."

Although she looked aggrieved, Xia Yuan did not actually cry.

"You said you wanted to be a teacher, but in the end you just wanted to have fun."

"Wait a minute, I haven't finished yet..." Xia Yuan excitedly talked about his future plans, "Besides, if I become a teacher, I can spend my whole life with children. We can go on outings together, and I will only assign a little homework, and ah..."

Mei Fang never thought that one day she would be like this, listening to a little child talk about her ideals in life.

Strangely, he didn't seem impatient at all.

The two children chatted like this. Most of the time, it was Xia Yuan who talked, and Mei Fang occasionally interjected. As they talked, Xia Yuan gradually became tired and his speech became a little slurred.

When Mei Fang was about to ask her if she wanted to go home, Xia Yuan fell headfirst onto Mei Fang's shoulder and fell asleep from exhaustion.

……

Mei Fang did not rush to wake her up immediately, but maintained this posture for some time.

Mei Fang was thinking as he felt the pleasant and refreshing evening breeze at the beginning of summer.

Perhaps in that distant past life, Xia Yuan had also had such an innocent time with him, but that time had been completely forgotten by him under the wash of time.

But whether it really happened in the past or not, it is always happening in the present.

And now he will definitely cherish it.

Chapter 006 No Unwillingness

Mei Fang told his father Mei Lijun about the lottery purchase as soon as possible. Of course, he did not say that the money came from Xia Yuan, but was his own New Year's money that he had saved.

Although as far as I can remember, most of the children's New Year's money would be confiscated by their parents, parents would often still give their children some symbolic pocket money.

Although he was surprised that his son dared to buy lottery tickets by himself, Mei Lijun did not say anything. He just asked about the top four teams that Mei Fang bought. When he heard that he wanted to wait to receive the prize by himself, Mei Lijun could not help but laugh at him.

"What kind of ranking did you buy? How can you possibly win if you choose so randomly? What a waste of money. You didn't even ask your dad to give you some guidance. Can a Korean player of this level make it to the semifinals? Use your brain to think about it."

"Dad, don't be too complacent. First, what would you do if you win the lottery?"

"If I win the prize, can I call you dad? Haha." Mei Lijun patted Mei Fang's head with a teasing look.

"Dad, don't be so naive." Mei Fang pushed Mei Lijun's hand away. "If I really win the prize, just give me some money."

"Why don't you take all of it? You spent a lot of money to buy this lottery ticket. If you win, of course it's all yours."

Mei Fang thought to herself, I don’t believe you. If adults were willing to take their promises to children seriously, value their ideas, and take care of their emotions, why would there be so much pain in original families?

Come to think of it, even if they really ask for the money, will they say they are saving it for you and then just forget about it?

Mei Fang thought for a moment and said, "Well, let's put it this way... I want you to buy me something."

"Okay, if I really win the prize, I'll buy you whatever you want!"

After a period of time, it was two weeks since Mei Fang was reborn. The most important event during this period was the elimination of the Chinese national football team. This led to a depressing atmosphere everywhere from home to the neighborhood.

Of course, the kindergarten adjusted very quickly. Without the national football program to watch, the children returned to their former joy. It was also at this time that Mei Fang truly realized the horror of children.

The children had a dispute over toys, and they slapped and bit each other's faces. When the teacher came, the one who complained first started crying and looked aggrieved.

During mealtimes, there are always children who don’t eat well. Naughty children scoop meatballs from the bowls of their classmates and secretly spill the food they don’t want to eat on the ground.

Some children like to stick tape on their faces, wrap it around, and then pull it up, making a grinning monkey sound.

"Monkey stealing peaches" is a despicable trick often used by boys when playing. Sometimes Mei Fang, who passes by innocently, will be tricked by them.

This made Mei Fang feel very desperate.

How can I plan my grand life goals if I am with this group of monsters and demons?

I should post a picture here [People’s joys and sorrows are not the same, I just think they are noisy.jpg], and let Mei Fang sit in the middle.

The most outstanding among them is the future academic master Lin Youxi.
