He Caiwei has good grades and has already attended university once, so this course is relatively easy for her.

She achieved a top-ten ranking in her major without much effort. However, because she had memories of her past life, she didn't find studying very difficult. Lu Qingzhu, on the other hand, was a real modern person. Even though he seemed carefree and irresponsible, his grades were actually quite good, consistently ranking within the top five in his grade from junior high to high school.

Even after entering university, much of the knowledge he gained was no longer relevant to his previous studies, yet his grades remained consistently high. However, Lu Qingfeng was even more exceptional. Throughout the entire military-affiliated schools, from elementary school to middle school to high school and now, as he is about to graduate from university, he has consistently maintained his position at the top.

He Caiwei was extremely envious. Even she, who had memories of the future, couldn't stand in the first position. That guy was like a devil. She wondered what his classmates thought.

He Caiwei tried to put herself in her shoes and realized that the pressure was too much; she would go crazy.

Throughout the semester, He Caiwei only made a few phone calls home and sent food and some nutritional supplements twice. She was afraid that her family might be having difficulties and not telling her, so she sent things in her uncle's name. After all, her uncle held a pretty high position here, and it wouldn't be unreasonable for him to get something for his own younger brother.

Unlike primary and junior high school exams, which are all over in one day or two, university exams are held every few days, one subject at a time, until all the exams are completed.

Uncle Lu only found out they were taking exams. He would ask them every day when they would have a holiday, and he wanted them to go out and "fleece" again.

Lu Qingfeng graduated, and his uncle was still thinking about where to get him a job after graduation. When he heard that they were planning to go to Russia to fleece some people, he wanted to go with them this time.

The three of them should be able to bring back more things. He didn't participate last time, which was a bit of a pity. This time, he has already been assigned a task and has some time to prepare, so he can go along.

After finishing her last exam, He Caiwei returned home, threw down her schoolbag, and slumped into a chair. It was already the hottest time of year in Kyoto, and every morning, even without much activity, she would break into a sweat. It was just past ten o'clock, and the sun outside was already drying her out.

"Weiwei, why did you run so fast? I was thinking of picking you up." Lu Qingzhu rode her bicycle back, following behind her younger sister.

He had originally planned to pick up his sister and go home together, but as soon as he arrived at the door of her classroom, he was told that she had already left. He hurriedly rushed with his schoolbag but couldn't catch up.

"It's so hot! And you still have the energy to ride your bike and shout like that? I'm not hard of hearing, how could I not hear you?" He Caiwei rolled her eyes at him, grabbed her backpack, and prepared to go upstairs to take a shower. She felt sticky and uncomfortable all over.

"Hey, I just wanted you to stop and buy some ice cream, but you've been running all this way just to get home." Lu Qingzhu was really wronged, wasn't he? He originally wanted his sister to stop and buy a couple of ice creams when they passed by the department store, but his sister thought he was just calling out to her and kept running forward.

"Come on, I don't want to park there. It's crowded and hot. If you get off that bike seat, your butt will get burned." He Caiwei gave him a disgusted look. Stopping in the sun on such a hot day just to buy two ice creams.

When Uncle Lu returned, He Caiwei had already prepared the cold noodles and invited everyone to come and eat. After the meal, the three of them were called to the study by Uncle Lu.

As soon as she entered the room, Uncle Lu handed He Caiwei a large bag from the table.

"Here are the money and tickets for you. I also asked your aunt to prepare the same things she did for you last year. Just let me know if you need anything. I'll have the guards buy the tickets for you in advance. Weiwei, have your older brother come with you this year. Be careful. If you get caught, it's better to lose the things than to be caught."

He Caiwei looked at the stacks of money and reluctantly accepted the bag. The largest denomination banknote now is ten yuan, so even if it's only one or two thousand yuan, it's still a huge stack, like bricks.

"I understand, Uncle. We'll be leaving tomorrow afternoon. Same as always, just prepare some food bags, nothing else." He Caiwei said and left. She had to start planning for their livelihood for the next month or two as they were leaving tomorrow afternoon.

Although there are many things in the space, it is not very reasonable to take them out like that. Bowls and ladles should be prepared. Of course, fresh vegetables are impossible, but pickles and cured meats are fine. They can also go up the mountain to hunt pheasants, rabbits or other things to eat.

Actually, the last time he went to the Russians' territory to plunder grain, his biggest gain was finding two large beehives in the Russian forest, from which he scraped off more than 200 kilograms of honey.

She kept two jars at home as spares, sent five jars to her uncle's side, and packed the rest into two-pound jars and stored them in her space.

The space contains core functional items that remain exactly as they were when taken in and when taken out; there's no need to worry about them breaking.

The bees left behind in the two hives were especially precious; she had been worried about the lack of bees for pollination, wondering if it was against the laws of nature. It was as if her "father in heaven" had heard her thoughts and immediately sent her two large beehives.

Of course, he wanted honey, but the most important reason was that adding a little honey when roasting the pheasants and rabbits they caught outside would make them taste even better.

For this reason, she even got a few large paintbrushes to use as a brush for sauce when grilling.

The next morning, He Caiwei took a basket and went out. This round trip would take more than two months, so he had to prepare the food. There wasn't much rice and flour left at home, so he made rice balls and pancakes. He packed the rice balls into airtight containers and put them into his space. Then he continued to make pancakes.

She went out mainly because there wasn't much cured meat left at home. If she used it all up at once, her aunt would be heartbroken.

These days, buying meat is really difficult. Not only do you need meat coupons, but you also have to be quick, otherwise they won't even leave you with any pig offal.

Lu Qingzhu was sent out to look for eggs. He Caiwei asked Lu Qingfeng to find some pig offal. She wanted to make a stir-fried pickled cabbage with pork intestines, some braised pork, and some egg sauce.

Once these things are prepared, they can be sealed in a jar and eaten for quite a while. However, the saying "a half-grown boy can eat his father out of house and home" is the most accurate description of this saying.

All of them are still growing, especially the Lu brothers, who are now at the age where they're practically eating their father out of house and home. Although they've been trying to restrain themselves, when they're growing, if they eat a little less, their stomachs will start to protest within an hour or two.
