After being reborn, I have seven older sisters.

This noon, Zhang Yuejin's decision to get two extra dishes from the cafeteria, contrary to his usual practice, was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, nor was it due to any new task assigned to him by his wife, Song Chunxing.

Rather, it was a way of making up for the fact that she couldn't visit Song Chun at home immediately after he was brought back to life.

Actually, that morning, when Chuntao and Chunxing ran to the feeding room, they woke Feng Jinsuo and Zhang Yuejin from their sleep and told their brothers-in-law that Chunsheng was not dead and had returned home on his own the night before.

The two wanted to visit him at home, but Song Chunxing stopped them. She said that such a big thing had happened yesterday, so Chunsheng should rest well and wait until he was better before visiting.

Therefore, this morning, as soon as Zhang Yuejin learned that his brother-in-law had arrived at the school, he immediately decided to go to the cafeteria at noon to get two more dishes to give Chunsheng some nutrition and also to calm him down!

While Chunsheng was eating, he suddenly noticed that among the row of books on the desk in front of him were two books: history and geography from the second semester of the second year of high school.

He had eaten at this table many times before, probably twenty or thirty times in total, but he had never noticed these two books before.

He thought about it and realized that it might be because he hadn't had this need before, which was why he hadn't noticed it.

He had originally planned to borrow these two books from someone, but he didn't expect them to appear in front of him so quickly.

So Chunsheng immediately reached out and pulled the two books from the bookshelf, then looked at Zhang Yuejin and asked, "Why do you have history and geography books here?"

Zhang Yuejin was stunned for a moment, but after he took the two books and quickly glanced at them, he couldn't help but laugh.

"It seems like this was left here by a student who graduated a few years ago. I always thought he would come to pick it up, but after waiting for so long, I haven't even seen a trace of that student again!"

Chunsheng nodded knowingly. "If it's not of any use to you, why don't you lend it to me to take a look?"

"Why be so polite with your brother-in-law? If you want to see them, just take them. That student has probably already forgotten about it and likely won't want these two books anymore!"

After Zhang Yuejin finished speaking, he suddenly looked at Chunsheng with a puzzled expression, "You haven't even finished your first year of high school yet, why are you in such a hurry to look at the textbooks for the second semester of the second year?"

Chunsheng was momentarily stumped by the question, but after a moment's thought, he immediately came up with an answer.

"In Chinese class today, Teacher Wang Tianhe said that there was a 'science fiction' essay competition in the province recently. Later, the homeroom teacher asked me and Song Hongqin to both write one."

"Since I've never written a 'science fiction' essay before, I want to find more literature and history books to refer to, to see if I can find some inspiration or direction from them!"

Zhang Yuejin nodded, and said somewhat solemnly, "If that's the case, you really need to prepare properly. I heard about this this morning too!"

"It is said that the province attaches great importance to this 'science fiction' essay competition. In addition to the Provincial Education Commission taking the lead in organizing it, it seems that even the Provincial Propaganda Department has also gotten involved."

Upon hearing this news, Chunsheng's eyes widened in surprise. "How come even a large department like the provincial propaganda department is taking this students' essay competition so seriously?"

Zhang Yuejin shook his head, clearly unaware of Chunsheng's question.

But a moment later, he said with a serious expression.

"Although the specific reasons are still unclear, judging from the importance attached to this essay competition, as long as one is selected and wins a prize in the end, it will be very rewarding."

Even a mere encouragement award can have an immeasurable impact on the future prospects of those award-winning students!

Chunsheng was even more shocked. "A writing competition can have such a huge impact?"

"Of course!"

Zhang Yuejin nodded quickly and affirmed, "You absolutely mustn't underestimate this competition. Let's put everything else aside; the prize money the school can give is almost equivalent to a month and a half of my salary. This has never happened before!"

"Since Li Yufeng specifically asked you to write this, you can't be careless. This essay competition might just be a crucial opportunity for you to achieve great things in the future!"

Song Chunsheng smiled and nodded, thinking to himself that his brother-in-law was just like Li Yufeng, both thinking he was capable!

At this moment, Zhang Yuejin saw that Chunsheng had finished eating and put down his chopsticks, so he glanced at the alarm clock on the table and said.

"If you've finished eating, go find your homeroom teacher and see what she wants to talk to you about!"

"Let me wash the lunchbox first, then I'll go!"

As Song Chunsheng spoke, he began to roll up his sleeves.

Zhang Yuejin was startled when Chunsheng suddenly said he wanted to do some work. He wondered what was wrong with him and why he suddenly wanted to help him wash his lunchbox.

But he quickly stopped her with a laugh, saying, "Wash what?! I've never done this kind of work at home. You just came here for a meal, how can I let you wash your lunchbox!"

"If your second sister finds out about this, she'll kill me!"

Song Chunsheng immediately said, "If neither of us tells her, how will she know!"

"I know you won't tell, your brother-in-law trusts you!"

Zhang Yuejin chuckled and said, "But you can't trust your brother-in-law. Who knows, one day when he's chatting with your sister, he might let it slip!"

Song Chunsheng smiled helplessly, "Alright then, brother-in-law, I'll go see our homeroom teacher now. When you and my second sister are less busy sometime, remember to bring my two little nephews home to visit our parents. They miss their grandchildren!"

After saying goodbye to his brother-in-law, Chunsheng immediately tucked the two books under his arm and ran straight to Li Yufeng's dormitory.

When he arrived, Li Yufeng had already finished eating and was sitting at her desk flipping through an English novel, with an internal magazine called "Junior Science" next to her.

"It's over so quickly? I thought you were going to chat with your brother-in-law for a while longer!"

Li Yufeng joked with Chunsheng while pulling out a chair for him to sit down, then picked up the "Junior Science" magazine and the English novel on the table.

"I know you don't usually have much access to science fiction novels, so it's not easy to suddenly ask you to write this kind of essay."

"I happen to have two books on this topic here. You and Hongqin can take a look and see if they can help you."

As Li Yufeng spoke, she opened the "Juvenile Science" magazine and turned to the page she had already folded and marked. "This science fiction story, titled 'Petroleum Protein,' was published last year by our country's famous writer, Mr. Ye Yonglie."

"I've read the content, and it's quite interesting. You and Hongqin should pass it around and take a look. I personally think that you'll definitely gain some inspiration from it."

After Li Yufeng finished speaking, she handed the English novel titled "Journey to the Center of the Earth" to Chunsheng. "I think it's a bit unrealistic to expect Hongqin to finish reading this English science fiction novel, 'Journey to the Center of the Earth,' in such a short time."

"So you can read it yourself, and after you're done, you can explain it to her so she has a general idea of ​​what science fiction novels by famous foreign authors are like!"

When Chunsheng held the novel, titled "Journey to the Center of the Earth," in his hands, he noticed that there was a small label with "Qin Province Normal University" printed on it at the very bottom of the spine!
