I Brought You Breakfast (3)
Jiang Xiaoman hurriedly called Yu Qingshi and asked him if he was happy.
Yu Qingshi, on the other end of the line, was silent for a long, long, long time.
“Are you not happy?” Jiang Xiaoman asked him.
Yu Qingshi said, “I-I want to skip a grade. I want to go to the senior class. We might not share the same table. I will go tell my father now.”
“Your father was the one who arranged it.” Jiang Xiaoman’s soft milky voice was shaking from her sheer excitement.
‘It was your father.’
‘Who arranged it~’
Yu Qingshi pursed his lips, and for the first time, he felt like crying, but no tears came out. He blinked and didn’t know what to say. He only felt sad.
He was afraid that he would not escape this little devil’s oppression in the future.
After robbing his closet, would she rob his school desk in the future?
Yu Qingshi thought for a while and felt that life was simply impossible!
Unfortunately, Jiang Xiaoman, on the other end of the phone, didn’t feel the same way. She continued to ask enthusiastically, “Is kindergarten fun?”
“Very boring.”
“Are all the children nice? ”
“Just so-so.”
“Is the teacher as good as Teacher Tang?”
“Who is Teacher Tang?”
“Why don’t you know how to chat?” Jiang Xiaoman was very annoyed but soon forgave him. “Forget it. I’ll know when I go there. Hey little friend, after school starts, we will be classmates. You have to treat me better, you know?”
Yu Qingshi hung up the phone.
He didn’t want to go to kindergarten anymore.
But it was impossible not to go to school. Early in the morning, Yu Qinshi followed his father to the car with a long face.
After getting out of the car, he found Jiang Xiaoman waiting at the gate.
Her big eyes seemed lost, and for the first time, this terribly bold little girl showed a scared expression.
Yu Qingshi watched her for a long time. He wanted to pretend that he didn’t see her, but seeing that she almost cried, he was forced to take the initiative to say hello.
“Good morning, Jiang Xiaoman,” Yu Qingshi said. “Where is your uncle? Why are you here alone?”
“He is talking to the teacher to register me.” Her voice shook involuntarily.
It was the first day of school. Maybe because it was too early, there were not a lot of people. Children didn’t usually arrive at the kindergarten on time. Generally speaking, if the teacher said that class started at 8 o’clock, there would still be some who had not arrived by 8:30.
Well, that was how it was with children, who had the privilege of coming late.
There was no way around it since they were still childish, crying, and making a fuss.
Yu Qingshi was usually calm and did not cry or make a fuss, so he already came early.
Jiang Xiaoman, although scared, was still looking forward to kindergarten.
She held the green onions that grandma gave her in one hand and water chestnuts in the other. When she looked at Yu Qingshi, she first said hello, then she looked left and right and felt cheated.
Grandma said that every child who went to school had to hold green onions in one hand and water chestnuts in the other, representing smartness and cleverness1.
Studying under Teacher Tang didn’t count. This time, she was officially entering school, so grandma had her bring all of them to study well and become smart.
Jiang Xiaoman felt that this was very stupid and didn’t want to, but grandma said that all the other children were doing this. There was no other way since all the children in the world were the same, so she could only be obedient.
But who would’ve thought? The first child she met, Yu Qingshi, brought neither green onions nor water chestnuts.
“What…what are you doing with the green onions?” Sure enough, this green onion caught his attention.
Jiang Xiaoman panicked.
Maybe the other children didn’t bring green onions, and they wouldn’t want to be friends with her anymore!
Jiang Xiaoman pursed her lips, and she just wanted to cry, but suddenly she had a flash of genius and stuffed the green onions into his hand, saying, “I brought you breakfast. Hurry up and eat them.”
“…”
