He took out a few exercise books as well as drawing books from the shelf. “Here, these are for you. If you like them, take them ho with you.”
Jiang Xiaoman liked the drawing book very much. The white paper made people want to scribble on it very much, but she was reluctant to do it.
Because her drawings were so ugly.
All of her drawings look like tadpoles or ghostly scratch marks.
Jiang Xiaoman was very prideful, but she was self-aware of this weakness.
“If I take them, where would you write?”
Yu Qingshi pointed at the row of books behind him. “I still have… a lot.”
“Wow!” Jiang Xiaoman exclaid in surprise, then accepted them in peace. She thanked him, “Thank you, Yu Qingshi. You really are a good person. You sent exercise books before, but I already gave them to Teacher Tang.”
It was a beautiful accident.
Yu Qingshi blushed with sha.
He originally didn’t give them with good intentions. He only wanted to let her know how amazing he was; he didn’t expect that she would beco so happy.
Yu Qingshi was embarrassed inside, and he said in a small voice, “If you like them, then that’s good.”
Eh, there was no way around it. She was so pitiful and miserable, but still so strong and optimistic. His Dad was right; he had to study from and be grateful to her more. Yu Qingshi felt that the world had beco more wonderful and interesting.
Please treat her better in the future.
This child was so pitiful.
The two children played together until they forgot the ti. Only when the evening ca did Jiang Xiaoman rember to go ho.
At that ti, Yu Wencheng arrived ho. When he saw her, he asked her to stay for dinner and told her to leave after eating.
He had already asked the maid, and learnt that his son and Xiaoman had been playing for a long ti. He felt really moved.
She was the only one who could coax his son, play with him peacefully and cure his picky eating problems. Yu Wencheng really wanted to treat her like a little ancestor.
It would be great if he could keep her here; there was no need for her to go ho.
Jiang Xiaoman also wanted to stay, but she felt very guilty.
She had already eaten Yu Qingshi’s beef jerky. If she also had dinner there, what would Grandma do to her when she got ho?
“Uncle Yu, I have already eaten beef jerky…” She hesitated, saying, “I can’t eat any more food. Grandma will scold .”
“Oh, it’s okay.” Yu Wencheng said. “We’ll pack so to bring ho for your Grandma just like last ti, okay?”
“Eh? No, no, no can do.” Jiang Xiaoman waved her hands in a hurry.
She ate good food here; she was already no longer enduring hardships. If Grandma knew that she had eaten at, she would definitely scold her! And she ate all of it alone, she also felt very sorry for Grandma.
Jiang Xiaoman said in a low voice, “Grandma said that we have to endure hardships now. We cannot eat at, only vegetables. We have only eaten vegetables without any oil for the past few days at ho. Uncle Yu is sure to make bring a lot of delicious food ho. Then that wouldn’t be enduring hardships anymore.”
The more she spoke, the softer her voice beca.
She now felt very guilty for breaking the prohibition.
Yu Wencheng did not know, and was afraid that Xiaoman’s family had a particular ritual. To make sure he would not break soone else’s rule, he carefully asked, “What rituals does your Grandma do? Do you have to fast and cleanse yourself?”
Jiang Xiaoman shook her head, “No, we’re just going bankrupt.”
“??” Yu Wencheng was dazed again.
Very often, he would be caught off guard when talking to Jiang Xiaoman and could not follow what she was thinking.
Jiang Xiaoman cried and said, “I don’t understand either. In short, Grandma said that Uncle is at a critical juncture and is short on money. Our family will go bankrupt and have no money to eat at. She told to learn to endure hardships, so we can still survive through the hard tis.”
“……”
Yu Wencheng was suspicious. Did sothing big happen to the Jiang family that he did not notice?
But he still saw Jiang Xing today, and it didn’t seem like he was going to go bankrupt. Had life in his family already beco so miserable?
Yu Wencheng calmly asked, and only then did he understand the whole story.
He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He rubbed Xiaoman’s head and said, “I understand. I’ll find a chance to talk to your uncle.”
