I Brought You Another Portion of Breakfast (2)
Xiaoman didn’t care about it. After admiring her new school uniform, she carried her school bag and left the bedroom.
Her old school bag had been replaced with a new one.
Most of the school bags back in kindergarten were used to bring toys. It was different now; now, they were used to carry textbooks.
The mascot pictured on the schoolbag changed from the Monkey King to the Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit2.
Jiang Xiaoman watched this cartoon a lot recently and was very smitten that she temporarily abandoned her favorite Monkey King and replaced him with them.
“Grandma, Uncle and I are heading out.”
“Hey, wait.” Seeing her about to leave, Jiang Xiumei immediately rushed out and stuffed her hand with green onions.
“……”
“Bring them with you.” Jiang Xiumei said. “Grandma rushed out to buy this especially for you, the first green onions in the vegetable market today.”
“……”
Jiang Xiumei woke up early today and went out. Xiaoman had not known what she was doing before, but now she did.
She hesitated and fell into thought, and eventually accepted the green onions.
She stuffed them into the bag… the schoolbag had become so big that it could carry green onions inside! Very nice!
She had already thought of a solution.
Soon, she no longer paid it any mind and happily went out with Jiang Xing.
Before leaving, she went next door to take a look, and found that Yu Qingshi had already left.
Oh, he didn’t wait for her.
Ok.
Jiang Xiaoman was depressed, feeling a little unhappy.
Jiang Xing soothed her and said, “We’ll meet him soon. His grandparents are here, there are too many people for us to go together.”
“Oh.”
She had wanted to give him the green onions.
Jiang Xing bought a very cheap and inconspicuous car. It looked really out of place in the villa area where there were a lot of luxury cars.
But he didn’t care at all.
Sigh.
A horse that could run was a good horse, and a car that could be driven was a good car. What else was there to think about?
Wuu wuu wuu!
Jiang Xiaoman didn’t understand his troubles at all. He was dragging his steps as he went to the worst car in the parking spot, while Xiaoman ran to the car, hopped on, and urged him to drive.
Jiang Xing had no choice but to work hard.
By the time they arrived at school, it was already half past nine.
At this time, there were many people there. There were a lot of students, and even more parents.
Many of them came here with their families.
Jiang Xiaoman held Jiang Xing’s hand, and suddenly felt like she had returned to the first day of kindergarten.
The place was so big, and there were so many children. Of course, there were also more of the older children.
From first grade to sixth grade, there were all kinds of children there.
As usual, Jiang Xing went to line up in front of the office for the first-years to sign up. He let Xiaoman wait and walk around by herself first, reminding her not to go with any weird uncles.
Xiaoman already had a lot of experience with being kidnapped, she didn’t need others to worry about her.
After Jiang Xing left, Jiang Xiaoman moved around in a small area.
Everyone was wearing the school uniform and looked the same.
She looked around and suddenly found… huh? The one over there seemed to be little Ye Jiajia? And the one next to her seemed to be Li Tiantian?
And… Zhang Xinhua, Yu Qingshi.
“……”
Jiang Xiaoman’s feelings were complicated.
Everyone was wearing the school’s uniform, and they were all students of this school.
So everyone was going to the same elementary school!
She had thought that they would never see each other again, that they were no longer friends or schoolmates. Before leaving, they lined up to hug all their friends from the senior class 3, hugging each other and crying.
…it seemed that they had cried for nothing.
After arriving here, Xiaoman discovered that the children there were still the same group of children. There was no change at all.
Eh, it would be nice if she could also bring Teacher Yang, she thought.
Jiang Xiaoman immediately ran over to Yu Qingshi and Zhang Xinhua, asking them, “Hey there, little pals. Are you two here to sign up?”
“Yes!” Zhang Xinhua was very excited.
School was starting, meaning he would get pocket money and could eat more snacks!
Jiang Xiaoman turned her gaze to Yu Qingshi, only to realize that he was actually… holding a handful of green onions in his hands.
She was stunned, and so was he. It seemed like he wanted to hide them behind him, but she had already seen the green onions.
“Why did you bring green onions to school?” Jiang Xiaoman was touched, as if finding a comrade at the edge of the sky. “Did your father make you bring them?”
Yu Qingshi shook his head and said, “It was from your Grandma.”
“……”
Jiang Xiaoman swallowed everything she wanted to say.
Zhang Xinhua finally turned his attention to the green onions in Yu Qingshi’s hand, asking curiously, “Why did you bring green onions to school?”
Could he say that Xiaoman’s Grandma was over-enthusiastic and he couldn’t stand it anymore?
Grandma always said ‘onions, smart’;3 his father and grandparents also thought it was a good idea, and made him take it with him.
Yu Qingshi turned red from embarrassment, then suddenly came up with a clever idea. He stuffed the green onions to Zhang Xinhua’s hands and said, “I brought you breakfast, eat them quickly.”
Jiang Xiaoman: “…”
Zhang Xinhua: “……”
This scene seemed to be familiar.
Xiaoman also took out her green onions and stuffed them to Zhang Xinhua’s hands. “I also brought you a portion, quick, eat them.”
Zhang Xinhua cried.
