Your Little Friend Is Troubled (1)
Generally speaking, the longer a school’s history was, the better the teachers and backgrounds.
This place had the best teachers and teaching environnt in the entire city, and the school had, of course, also existed for a long ti. And this house near the school… had even lived for a long ti.
When Jiang Xing first ca to see the house, he didn’t like it either. But there wasn’t an any better choice, in the end, so he could only grit his teeth and buy it.
Facing Jiang Xiui’s suspicious look, Jiang Xing said bitterly, “Mom, I swear, really, I only bought this house. You don’t understand; it’s not the house that is valuable, but the land under our feet!”
“Look, to the south is the best kindergarten in the city, and the north is the best elentary school. And not even one road away is the No. 1 Middle School. If Xiaoman puts in the effort, she can finish her whole education here! Isn’t this good? This is the kind of luck that Madam ng couldn’t get even by moving three tis1. This is a perfect place; you can even call it a blessed land! Even I want to have my child go to school here.”
Jiang Xing was about to start crying while talking.
After explaining to Jiang Xiui what a school district house was, Jiang Xiui finally believed him.
The mother and son duo looked at each other with tears in their eyes.
Jiang Xiui couldn’t bear to beat him even if she wanted to, and it was even more impossible for her to take it out on Xiaoman, so all she could do was sigh.
“It’s okay.” Jiang Xiaoman’s optimistic character was primarily influenced by Jiang Xiui’s. Jiang Xiui quickly comforted herself, “If the money is gone… you can earn more, but sending a child to school cannot be delayed. Teacher Tang said that this child was enlightened early and is very bright. If she were educated well, her future would be promising. Back then, your sister suffered a lot for her education. The conditions are better now, so we cannot make her child suffer even more.
Jiang Xing cried and nodded.
Jiang Xiui looked at the yard that looked like the one at the village. She sighed again and again, then looked towards the corner and said, “We can make a pigpen here. When we have ti, we’ll take Mrs. Flower here. Haah, this is just my fate. After coming to the city, I still have to raise pigs.”
“…no, no, Mom,” Jiang Xing suddenly yelled out of nowhere. “It’s like you don’t know how loud Mrs. Flower is. If she howled in the middle of the night, the neighbors would scold us.”
Jiang Xiui thought for a while and felt that even if she brought Mrs. Flower here, there was no place to get hogweed in the city. She had no choice but to forget about it.
Out of the three, Jiang Xiaoman was the most excited one. She didn’t think that there was anything wrong with this house.
She even felt that her uncle was right, that the house looked exactly like ho!
The land was quite large. Even though the house was a bit old and tattered, she was a child who could endure hardships. She didn’t find it unbearable at all.
Besides, their original house was… also quite shabby.
Jiang Xiaoman happily lifted the tilted grape rack on the yard. She planned to tell Uncle to plant grapes in the future, so she could go and pick one to eat whenever she was hungry.
She had small arms and legs; Jiang Xiui was afraid that the rack would hit her, so she pushed her aside and raised the rack herself.
The house couldn’t be an absolute ss, but it was still so ways away from being habitable.
When Jiang Xiui entered the house carrying the big bags and small bags, she saw the furniture and other stuff inside and twisted Jiang Xing’s ears with anger.
Jiang Xing almost died from grief. “Mom, didn’t I tell you that it was not the house that was valuable? Why are you hitting !?”
“Did I hit you because of the house?” Jiang Xiui also jumped up and down, “Since you’ve bought everything, why didn’t you clean up first before letting us co over? Were you lazy and just didn’t want to clean up? You’re too spoiled!”
Ya, that’s not wrong! That was precisely what he thought!
