Mr. Dampier took the two dollars and left, and Lin Yuxun turned to look at Cheng Hao: “Let’s go back to eat.”

Cheng Hao went back to the house with him.

He was unhappy that Mr. Dampier had come to ask for rent, but he hadn’t done anything wrong.

The house was his, he and Lin Yuxun agreed to increase the money for more people, Lin Yuxun also agreed, him wanting to increase the money couldn’t be said to be wrong.

He could only blame himself for being too poor.

When he entered the house, Lin Yuxun opened the plastic bag he brought back.

He took out three large long loaves of bread, the same type he had given Cheng Hao the day he brought him back, and a rectangular ham sausage as thick as Cheng Hao’s arm.

In addition, he took out a jar of jam, a toothbrush and toothpaste, and a towel and soap.

“This is for you.” Lin Yuxun gave the towel and toothbrush and so on, he noticed Cheng Hao liked being clean.

“Thanks.” Cheng Hao took it.

“Do you need anything else? I don’t know what else you’re missing, so I just bought you these ……  or I can give you the money, and you can go buy what you want yourself?” Lin Yuxun asked. When he saved Cheng Hao back then, he helped Cheng Hao change clothes, so he knew he only had his passport.

“No need.” Of course he was short of things, such as clothes, but he was too embarrassed to take Lin Yuxun’s money.

Lin Yuxun was a little lost, but he quickly went to get a knife again and came over to cut the bread and sausages.

He cut two slices of bread, spread with thick jam sandwiched with a thick slice of sausage, then handed it to Danny, made another and handed it to Cheng Hao.

Cheng Hao saw this and quickly spoke, “You can eat it, you don’t need trouble yourself.” He could just take the bread and nibble on it.

Seeing that Cheng Hao didn’t take it, Lin Yuxun could only eat it: “Eat more, Danny and I don’t eat much, you can finish the rest.”

“Thanks, but I can’t eat this much.” Cheng Hao laughed, he cut the rest of the sausages into three portions, took one of them, and then ate the sausages while nibbling on the bread.

He also tried the jar of jam, he followed Lin Yuxun’s example and spread a little on his own bread, he only took one bite and he couldn’t eat anymore.

This jam was too sweet! It was like knocking over a jar of sugar …… No, this was already a jar of sugar, right?

Cheng Hao didn’t mind sweets, but he really couldn’t eat something that sweet.

Cheng Hao didn’t move the jam again, he continued to eat the bread and sausage.

He ate one and a half of the bread, but he only ate a third of the sausage.

He had a big appetite, but he didn’t want to finish their food – even if this sausage was actually very cheap, but for Lin Yuxun and Danny, it was a lot.

“Eat some more.” Lin Yuxun took the rest of the sausage and gave it to Cheng Hao.

“I’m already full, you can eat more.”

“You’re full after eating so little?” Lin Yuxun asked.

Cheng Hao replied, “My injury is much better, so I’m not as hungry as I was.”

Cheng Hao stopped eating, and as a result, there were two big pieces of sausage left, and after Lin Yuxun gave Danny a piece, he had no intention to eat the other one.

“This sausage is unwrapped, if you don’t eat it, it’ll go bad, eat it.”

Lin Yuxun hesitated, then he took the sausage and ate it in small bites. He ate very seriously, as if he was eating some kind of mountainous food.

Cheng Hao continued, “Yes, you should eat more, you’re in the growth period, you should eat more meat, vegetables and fruits, so that you can have balanced nutrition.”

When Lin Yuxun heard Cheng Hao’s words, he thought about it.

The sausage Lin Yuxun bought back wasn’t bad, so even if Lin Yuxun and Danny both ate a lot of it, it wasn’t so bad to digest.

After eating, Cheng Hao continued teaching them.

He taught Danny to recognize words and taught Lin Yuxun to read the passage he had written down in Mandarin.

In order to learn to recognize words better, Lin Yuxun got some books from somewhere.

During the day Cheng Hao looked around the house, but couldn’t find the books …… Lin Yuxun was really good at hiding things.

Of course, what Cheng Hao admired most wasn’t that Lin Yuxun could hide things, but that Lin Yuxun followed him to read the article a few times, and could already recite it, but when reciting it, some words weren’t pronounced correctly.

And by the time he copied it a few times …… he actually knew how to write it perfectly!

Geniuses really made people jealous.

Cheng Hao looked at Lin Yuxun with emotion, if he had Lin Yuxun’s ability, he wouldn’t go for boxing, he would go to Peking University or Tsinghua!

Such a child, really couldn’t be buried!

They went to bed early as usual.

The next morning, Cheng Hao didn’t wake Lu Yuxun to wake Danny up as before, instead he woke him up.

Danny wasn’t unhappy to be woken up, in fact, he was so happy that he had a smile on his face.

Then Cheng Hao took Danny to school with Lin Yuxun to get free breakfast.

The school lunch usually had little meat, but breakfast didn’t, it was very simple, such as today, they got jam bread, and carrots and fries.

Cheng Hao was hungry, so he ate well and Lin Yuxun and Danny weren’t picky but the students who came to eat breakfast, some people nibbled on the jam and bread or ate a little fries, the rest was thrown aside.

The man who was sharing the meal was annoyed as he watched then, he cursed and swore, it was a terrible thing to waste food.

Probably thinking that those people’s behavior was too abominable, when Cheng Hao went over to ask for additional portions, he gave Cheng Hao three pieces of jam and bread in one breath.

Cheng Hao almost couldn’t finish it.

Today, Cheng Hao did the same thing he did the day before, he recuperated from his injuries, taught Danny, and waited for Lin Yuxun to return.

Lin Yuxun still didn’t return until 5:30, and when he came back, he was carrying a plastic bag as usual.

“What did you buy to eat today?” Cheng Hao asked with a smile.

“I bought hot dogs today.” Lin Yuxun smiled at Cheng Hao with a look that begged for praise.

“Awesome!” Cheng Hao laughed.

Lin Yuxun’s eyes narrowed with a smile when he saw that Cheng Hao was happy, and then immediately opened the plastic bag in his hand.

In the pocket, besides the big bread, there were also three paper bags wrapped in paper, hot dogs, as well as an apple, three lettuce, and three carrots.

“You also bought vegetables?” Cheng Hao was a little surprised: “But there is no place to cook at home ……”

“Cooking?” Lin Yuxun looked at Cheng Hao curiously.

Cheng Hao suddenly thought of something and pointed to the lettuce and asked, “How is this going to be eaten if you don’t cook it ……?”

Lin Yuxun immediately responded: “Dipped in jam!”

Cheng Hao: “……”

Although he wasn’t a fan of raw lettuce, Lin Yuxun had bought it and they did need some nutrients…… Cheng Hao silently dipped it in jam and ate the lettuce.

Lettuce and sweet jam wasn’t his favorite, but together, he was barely able to eat it.

It had only been four days since he transmigrated, but Cheng Hao already missed all kinds of food from home, even the nutritious meals prepared for him by his coach.

Their chef always had a way to make the nutritious meals delicious.

If he didn’t eat nutritious meals during the break, he could eat three bowls of braised pork with white rice in one sitting!

The more Cheng Hao thought about it, the more he craved, and finally he could only slap his forehead, telling himself not to think too much.

Braised meat or something else were really far away, for him now, to eat a hot KFC burger, he would be very satisfied.

But KFC was civilian food in this place, he and Lin Yuxun were at the bottom of the barrel, they were even worse off than the civilians.

They had no income, so it was better not to think about burgers or anything else.

Lin Yuxun learned some more words, and when he was done, they went to bed early, just like the previous two days.

When the sun rose once again, a new day came.

It was Friday, the day when he could go to the bar for the competition.

Cheng Hao’s wounds had already scarred and the majority of his actions were fine, but it was actually a bit of a stretch to go to a boxing match.

In his last life, which time did he not adjust his condition to the best before going to the competition? Before the competition, things other than nutritious meals would be brought over, in case there was a problem.

But now he was short of money ……

Cheng Hao mulled it over, in tonight’s game, if the opponent was weak, then it’d be a good fight, but if the opponent was stronger, he’d dodge more, after the spectacle of the boxing match was enough, he’d admit defeat.

He wanted to win, but wasn’t prepared to fight someone in an unorthodox match and hurt his body.

The body was the capital of boxing, if he messed up his body early, then his boxing career was going to be over right away!

As for the money, it didn’t matter if it was a little less.

Cheng Hao made a decision, he’d rest today, and he would occasionally lift Danny, as exercise.

However, when it was time for Lin Yuxun to leave school in the afternoon, Cheng Hao suddenly thought of one thing.

It was a half hour walk from Lin Yuxun’s place to Old George’s bar, and Old George had told him to go early …… he’d better arrive at Old George’s by six o’clock.

But Lin Yuxun always came back late ……

Was it because Lin Yuxun’s school closed late, or did he have a lot of homework? Or maybe the place he bought food was far away?

At 2:30 in the afternoon, Cheng Hao took Danny with him and once again walked towards Lin Yuxun’s school.

He planned to wait for Lin Yuxun.

Cheng Hao had taken Danny to school for three days in a row, this road was very familiar to Danny, plus with Cheng Hao holding him, he wasn’t afraid anyone, he excitedly looked left and right, observing the surrounding situation.

Cheng Hao wanted to introduce him to everything around, but soon remembered that he couldn’t hear, he could only touch his head.

The two soon arrived at the school.

It was still class time, but there weren’t many people in the classroom, but outside the classroom there were two groups of people fighting.

Cheng Hao was afraid that these people would hurt Danny by mistake, he hastily picked Danny up, frowned at these people, they had finished fighting, and it seemed he knew some people in the group that won the fight, it was the three people who were looking for trouble with Lin Yuxun before.

He actually didn’t recognize them all, but at least he had gotten along with Chester and knew Chester, after recognizing Chester, he remembered the other two.

Cheng Hao didn’t intend to say hello to them, but Chester saw him.

Chester, who was full of resentment towards Cheng Hao when they last spoke, now saw Cheng Hao and ran over to greet him like a normal person: “Hi! Cheng! What brings you to school?”

“I came to look for Lin Yuxun …… for Tony, which class is he in?” Cheng Hao asked.

Chester raised his eyebrow and asked in surprise, “You came to look for Tony? You’re not mistaken, are you? Didn’t Tony stop coming to school a long time ago?”

Cheng Hao was stunned: “What did you say?
