Chapter 185 Extra 2 (4)

Extra 2 (4)

The glutinous boy who hadn't even gotten his primary school diploma was easy to fool: "Okay then!"

Student Gu Jiangkuo really kept his promise. He would bring some snacks in his schoolbag every day, and feed Nuozai during breaks, taking the opportunity to kiss him and affectionately call him "Nuonuo".

This is a little secret between these two little men.

But the feeding did not last long before it was hampered by force majeure - after the mid-term, the school suddenly launched the "Clean Plate Campaign", which required students to eat all the food in the school lunch without leaving even a grain of rice, in order to get a reward.

When he heard the word "reward", Nuozai's eyes lit up and he stood straight with a look of determination to win.

Student Gu Dajiang had no interest in this activity: the prizes were distributed weekly, and he had to eat all the food five days a week to get a small sticker, which was totally disproportionate to the investment!

However, a week later, both pupils received their rewards.

Nuozai was determined to eat, but Dajiang had a big appetite and could have finished his meal, but he even asked the teacher for more rice.

Anyway, both kids got their prizes. When they got home, Nuozai couldn't help but brag to his parents and aunt, "The teacher gave it to me! Only five people in our class got one! Dajiang got one too!"

The two children took turns eating and sleeping at the two homes, and they were used to it. Mother Jiang praised them exaggeratedly: "Wow! Is this really great?"

Mr. Jiang advised his son: "Don't force yourself to eat just for the reward. If you can't finish it, throw it away."

Mother Jiang immediately glared at her husband: "What nonsense! We can't waste food! Besides, how can you grow taller if you don't eat? Look at Dajiang, he eats a lot, so he grows taller and stronger!"

Dajiang and Nuozai were busy eating, and were used to the adults' arguments. Mother Jiang was always worried that Nuozai would not grow tall, and was envious of Dajiang's height, which was higher than that of children of all ages. Father Jiang was very objective: "It has something to do with genetics. You are not as tall as Sister Wang..." As expected, he was subjected to a series of fierce debates from Mother Jiang, and then he shut up obediently.

In order to encourage her son to eat well at school, Mother Jiang praised the stickers given by the teacher from all angles.

...Even Dajiang felt it was a bit too exaggerated and childish.

After dinner, the two little kids went to the study to do their homework as usual.

Because Dajiang often visited, both families were used to preparing double of almost everything, including the study, with two study tables put together and imported adjustable ergonomic chairs for students sitting in a row.

Two identical small desk lamps for protecting eyesight.

"Write your own work and don't copy from others. I will check each of you after you finish writing!" Mother Jiang, who is always gentle, becomes very strict and issues stern warnings when faced with serious matters such as studying.

The two cubs answered in a drawling voice:

"I know, Mom!"

"I know, Auntie!"

Then Mother Jiang closed the door with satisfaction, leaving the two cubs looking at each other helplessly.

"I'll just go to your house to do my homework from now on," Nuozai sighed, holding his chin in his hand. "My mom is terrible at checking homework."

Despite complaining like this, Nuozai continued to play with his writing and picking at his new stickers. Dajiang was speechless watching: "We must have a dozen stickers this thick at home, right? What's so fun about this one?"

"This one is different! I just like it!" Nuozai picked at it for a while, sticking the sticker on his clothes and pressing it on the table. When he finished his homework, the sticker was no longer sticky, and Nuozai had just lost interest.

Jiang Nuo is like this. He wants new things when he sees them, but the novelty doesn’t last long.

It seems that the only person who can stay with him for a long time is Brother Dajiang.

.

Thanks to the sticker rewards in the first week and Jiang Mama's various praises, Nuozai became more determined to finish his meal. Everything was going well, but on Friday, there were super delicious meatballs for lunch. They were so popular that if he didn't get enough the first time, the extra meal would be gone. Nuozai ate five in one go.

I ended up eating two and a half and couldn't eat the rest.

"Jiang Nuo, why are you crying?" the little girl sitting at the same table asked curiously.

Nuozai didn't want to embarrass himself in front of the girls, so he wiped his tears and said stubbornly, "I didn't cry!"

"You just cried." The little girl rummaged around and handed him a tissue.

But Nuozai felt even more embarrassed and refused to answer, saying tearfully, "I really didn't cry."

The little girl thought for a moment and directly put the tissue on Nuozai's face: "Let me wipe it for you."

His vision went dark, then light returned. It was Gu Jiangkuo who came around from the back row. He was holding the tissue that the little girl at the same table had just used to wipe Nuozi's tears. He looked unhappy, but still asked, "Nuo... Jiang Nuo, why are you crying?"

Originally, Nuozai was very concerned about his reputation in front of little girls, but when Brother Dajiang came over, his idol image suddenly collapsed, and his tears fell like broken strings, making his already big eyes look even bigger.

He was afraid of attracting other people's attention, so he didn't dare to cry loudly, and sobbed quietly: "I can't finish it, there is no reward QAQ"

Dajiang: “…”

So, classmate Gu Jiangkuo picked up the unfinished plate of Nuozai, turned around and left, and when he came back, he put his empty plate on classmate Jiang Nuo's table.

He didn't say a word the whole time, which was pretty cool.

However, Nuozai's big eyes, which were originally filled with tears, were instantly filled with stars.

Dajiang's deskmate, the boy, said in a sly voice, "I saw everything! If you help Jiang Nuo with his lunch, I'll tell the teacher about you!"

Dajiang looked back at him and waved his fist, "Just try and say a word."

The boy sitting at the same table immediately stopped talking and shut up.

Nuozai has a small appetite but eats a lot, so there was quite a bit of leftover food today. Dajiang had already eaten one portion and felt a bit full, but he still gobbled up all the leftovers in no time, even the half meatball left by Nuozai.

He thought, since Nuonuo liked the stickers given by the teacher so much, he might as well get another one and give his to him as well.

As a result, the prizes the teacher gave out this time were actually small cookies.

Nuozai was obviously very full, but he was still very happy to receive the cookies. After school, the two little kids walked together as usual, carrying their small schoolbags and standing in a row to the school gate. The person who picked them up today should be the driver of the Gu family.

Dajiang said as he walked by: "Nuonuo, don't you like prizes? Why don't you eat them?"

Nuozai held a half-thumb biscuit in his little hand and said stubbornly, "I like it! I'll save it for dinner."

In fact, it was not delicious. Nuonuo, who was used to eating imported snacks, was choked by the cheap flavoring when he took a bite. He could still force himself to eat the unpalatable lunch for the prize, but this was a prize itself, and it was so hard to swallow that Nuonuo was a little worried.

Classmate Gu Jiangkuo didn't expose him. Instead, he rubbed his younger brother Nuonuo's head like a little adult and said, "Little fool."

Nuozai retorted angrily in a low voice: "I'm not stupid!"

They soon arrived at the door. The Gu family's driver was already waiting there. After the teacher told them to leave, the two cubs ran towards the driver like puppies on the loose, howling. Young Master Gu was taller and had better athletic talent, so he jumped onto the Hummer with a high chassis in one step. But the cub Nuo, with his short arms and legs, could not climb up, so he was picked up by the driver and earned the merciless ridicule of his brother Dajiang.

There were children laughing and playing in the car, and many children outside the car were looking at them with envy. Classmate Ding Pingzhou also witnessed the whole scene and spat silently.

In the past two years, both the Jiang family and the Gu family have developed very well. When Ding Pingzhou listens to the adults chatting at home, he often hears similar topics.

For example, the Jiang Group has become Yanlin's leading enterprise, all thanks to the help of the Gu family. No one knows where the Gu couple came from, but they are so financially powerful! Gu's mother also registered an investment company in the Cayman Islands, but all its business is domestic, with its main office in Yanlin.

Among the young entrepreneurs who caught up with the dividends of the times, Ding Yansheng's Ding family was the most prominent, because his company was profitable, paid a lot of taxes, and he had also served as a representative. Even those officials had to give him some face when they met him.

But now, not only has the Ding family's limelight been stolen by the Jiang family, but there has also been competition in business.

Competition among peers is inevitable, but the market is so small. If one side is too strong, the other side will definitely suffer. Especially with the strong support of the Jiang family and the Gu family, the two families have joined forces, but within two years, the Ding family's business has plummeted.

Even though Ding Yansheng's father had a lot of social engagements and drank outside, he would never beat his children when he got home. But now, he has fewer social engagements and often drinks at home to relieve his sorrow, so he can't help but take his anger out on the children.

The eldest brother of the Ding family has entered high school this year and lives in the school dormitory. Ding Pingzhou has become his father's only punching bag.

Student Ding, who was beaten and scolded every now and then, attributed it all to Uncle Jiang and his family.

"Pooh!" he spat again.

Seeing this, childhood friend Li Qing also cursed: "You have a few bucks, but you don't know how to show off. You bought a luxury car to pick up the kids. What are you thinking?"

In this year, it is quite rare to have a private car. If you own a Jetta, you are considered rich. Driving it back to your hometown is enough for the neighbors to praise you for your promising future and bringing honor to your family.

Driving a foreign brand that many people don’t recognize, he must be a super rich person.

"How much do you think this car cost?" Li Qing cursed, but he couldn't help but envy. His family was, to put it nicely, "gangsters," and, to put it bluntly, they were all ex-prisoners. They made dirty money, but they couldn't get it as fast as the Jiang family. How could he not be jealous?

What's more, they used to know the Jiang family, but now they have gradually lost contact, and the adults in the family have said a lot of jealous and sour words.

"Brother Pingzhou," Li Qing said, "how about we think of a way to teach those two brats a lesson?"

Ding Pingzhou disagreed: "That's not the case. How old are we? How old are they? Is it fun to bully children?"

"We're not really going to do anything to them," Li Qing said nonchalantly. "We're just going to scare them and make them cry. Especially little Jiang Nuo, who looks like a doll. Just imagine how much fun it would be if he started crying out loud."

.

Jiang family.

"No! No room for negotiation," Jiang's mother said sternly. "You have an exam coming up soon. You must stay home and practice piano this week. You are not allowed to go anywhere! You have to go home every day!"

"Okay QAQ"

Nuozai was dejected.

Mother Jiang is a romantic woman with great artistic taste. Before she married Lao Jiang, she worked as a piano teacher. She believed that music could cleanse and enjoy people's souls, and learning one or two musical instruments when they were young was the best gift for children. She even recommended it to Mother Gu and asked Dajiang to learn it with her. Fortunately, Father Gu adhered to the principle of happy education and gave up directly when he saw that his son had no interest, which saved Dajiang from danger.

But Mr. Jiang is a henpecked husband and has little say in educating his children. He just listens to whatever his wife says.

Nuozai has been forced to practice the piano regularly since he was three years old. It was okay before, as he didn't need to practice every day, and he would get candy as a reward after practicing. Now, as he plays better and better, Mother Jiang's requirements have also become higher. She recently signed Nuozai up for a grade test and started to restrict his personal freedom.

Until the exam, I spent all my spare time every day practicing the piano and couldn't even go to the Oe family's house.

This caused Nuozai to be in a very low mood. One morning, he was sent to school alone by the Jiang family's driver. Because parking was not allowed at the school gate, the driver watched the young master enter the gate safely and then drove away quickly.

The first-grade kid who was left alone was targeted by fifth-graders Ding Pingzhou and Li Qing.

"Hey! Xiao Nuonuo, come here!"

Before Nuozai could react, he was dragged to a deserted spot on the side of the teaching building by someone carrying his schoolbag. He was small and short-legged, barely reaching the waists of two older children. As soon as Li Qing let go of him, he sat down on his buttocks. When he saw who was coming, he called out innocently, "Brother Pingzhou, Brother Li Qing, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Ding Pingzhou: “…”

Li Qing: “…”

The two older children exchanged glances, each seeing a hint of bewilderment in the other's eyes. Neither had expected Nuozi to be so welcoming. In reality, their families' relationship had grown distant, and they hadn't seen each other for a long time. And now, with him being treated so roughly, Jiang Nuo should have been terrified, right? But the little kid actually managed to greet them so warmly, completely baffling Ding Pingzhou and Li Qing.

The atmosphere is totally wrong!

Ding Pingzhou whispered, "Forget it. I feel a little ashamed to bully such a young child."

"...Me too." Li Qing was also a little vague, "But since we're here, let's just scare them a little. Have you forgotten? The Jiang family took away all your business! Just consider it revenge for your father!"

Ding Pingzhou: "...Okay."

So, Li Qing acted ferociously again, bent down, and pinched Nuozai's face, which still hadn't lost its baby fat, and asked, "Do you have any pocket money to lend to the brothers?"

At this time, Ding Pingzhou seemed to see a vague shadow running past them from behind, but when he looked carefully, there was nothing there.

Ding Pingzhou: “?”

I must have seen it wrong. After all, there would be no one in this corner at this time.

Nuozai's face was pinched, and he said with difficulty: "Yes."

Li Qing released him and deliberately made things difficult for him. "Don't try to fool us with just one or two dollars! If it's less than ten dollars, I'll beat you up!"

Because snacks in the canteen are all only a few cents, the pocket money of primary school students this year is generally around 30 or 50 cents. Even for older children in the fifth grade, they will not be given more than five yuan. This has nothing to do with family financial situation. The general environment is like this, and parents all follow this "market price".

Li Qing was just looking for an excuse to beat him up and didn't really expect such a little kid to take out ten dollars.

However, Nuozai put down his schoolbag and searched carefully. He first took out a five-yuan note and handed it to Ding Pingzhou, then took out another five-yuan note and handed it to Li Qing. He kept flipping through the notes one by one until he found a total of twenty yuan. He kept muttering, "Wait a minute, there's more."

Li Qing: “…”

Ding Pingzhou: “…”

Things just got even more awkward! Now not only did I have no reason to hit this little thing, but I was also being dazzled! Is it really reasonable for a first grader to be this rich?!

"Forget it." Ding Pingzhou said in a low voice, "Class is about to start, let him go."

Li Qing took the money and said happily, "Let him continue to turn it over. This way, our trip was not in vain."

"I can't really rob the money, what if the teacher finds out..." Ding Pingzhou was a little panicked. Unlike Li Qing, who was at the bottom of the class, he had good grades. The teachers hinted to him that he would be awarded the honor of "Three Good Students" at the end of the semester, which would be very useful for his admission to Yanlin No. 1 Middle School. Even Ding Yansheng was proud of his excellence. If the news of him robbing the money from the kids got out, he would definitely lose the title of "Three Good Students" at the end of the semester. Ding Yansheng would beat him to death because he would have nothing to brag about!

"What are you afraid of? There's no one here." Li Qing said nonchalantly, "The teacher won't know."

At this moment, a loud voice rang out: "Teacher! That's them!"

Li Qing and Ding Pingzhou: “!!”

It turned out to be Gu Jiangkuo, a junior high school student, who had brought his class teacher over. Li Qing and the others were children after all, so they became intimidated when they saw the teacher. They were about to argue that they had not done anything bad.

Unfortunately, Nuozai reacted quickly.

The little kid, who had just been so enthusiastic and obedient, suddenly burst into tears and said clearly, "Teacher Li, they stole my money! Wuuuuuuuu, and they beat me!"

Ding Pingzhou, "When did we hit you?"

But Nuozai had already taken a few steps with his short legs and flew into the teacher's arms. He raised his little head, pointed at his face that had just been pinched, and sobbed, "Teacher, it hurts!"

Nuozai's skin was delicate and would turn red easily when touched. Normal bumps would easily leave marks on his body. Li Qing pinched him so hard that a large red patch appeared, which was particularly noticeable against the pale background and looked a bit pitiful.

Dajiang watched from the side with great distress, secretly clenching his fists.

The rest of the matters will be handled entirely by Teacher Li.

Teacher Li is the homeroom teacher of Jiang Nuo and Gu Jiangkuo, so he is naturally responsible for the children in his class. He immediately went to find the homeroom teacher of Li Qing and Ding Pingzhou to ask for an explanation.

The subsequent process of asking the two older children to apologize and inviting their parents was also a failure.

Nuozai followed behind and whispered to Dajiang, "How do you know they bullied me?"

"I saw it, so I quickly went to find the teacher." Little classmate Gu Dajiang said a little depressedly. He felt a little guilty for some reason. If only he was more capable, he could teach the two older kids a lesson on the spot instead of calling the teacher.

"Thanks to you for going to the teacher, otherwise I would have to wait until I got home to complain to my dad," Nuozi said, "Brother Dajiang is so smart! Thank you."

However, classmate Gu Dajiang still seemed a little annoyed and had no interest.

Nuozai tilted his head and came closer: "Brother? What's wrong with you?"

Dajiang suddenly said, "I'll stay at your house tomorrow and go to school with you."

"Okay!" Nuozai said happily, "My mom has been forcing me to practice piano every day lately, so I can't go to your house to play. I miss you so much."

"Yeah." Dajiang rubbed Nuozai's face, "Does it still hurt?"

Nuozai shook his head and said heartlessly: "It doesn't hurt anymore!"

.

The class teacher, Ms. Li, took this matter very seriously. She was very angry when she saw her student being bullied by senior students. What's more, Jiang Nuo's parents are well-known entrepreneurs in the city. If something really happened and a commotion was caused, the school could not bear the responsibility.

When Mr. Jiang got the news, he was in a high-level meeting. He stopped the meeting and rushed straight to the school. Mrs. Jiang arrived a little later.

Ding Yansheng and Li Qing's fathers were also called as parents. Nuozai guessed that his father must be very angry - he could hear Chairman Jiang's roar through the door of the teacher's office.

The two cubs peeked through the crack in the door and saw Uncle Ding apologizing timidly, while Dad Li beat Li Qing on the spot. The scene was a bit scary.

Nuozai closed the door, patted his chest and said, "Uncle Li's beating looks so painful, even more ferocious than my mom's."

"Will Aunt Jiang hit you?" Dajiang asked curiously, "They love you so much."

"If you don't practice well, you'll get spanked." Nuozi sighed, "It hurts so much when you spank me with a clothes hanger."

.

Since that day on, little Gu Dajiang has been reporting to the Jiang family every day. Because Nuozai was frightened, he was specially allowed to rest for a few days without having to practice the piano. It was really a double blessing!

Not having to practice the piano is the happiest thing in the world!

Nuozai had been having fun these past few days, and was in high spirits every day. However, Dajiang was unusually silent. It wasn't until Friday that he told Nuozai, "I can't play with you this weekend. I have to go to an interest class."

"Ah? What do you want to learn?"

Mother Jiang, who was checking their homework, said, "Da Jiang wants to learn Sanda. Does Nuonuo want to join?"

"Mom, I'm grown up! Call me by my full name!" Nuozai corrected her and then asked, "What is Sanda?"

Mother Jiang said, "It's a kind of fighting martial art that can improve your health."

Student Dajiang added: "Once you learn it, you can beat up bad guys." If you encounter something like that again, they can protect you.

When he heard the word "fight", Nuozai was completely uninterested and said, "No."

He is not interested in fighting and killing at all. When he was a child, Nuozai liked little dinosaurs, and now he likes cars more. He can recite the brands, models and performance of world-famous cars fluently, and has set his eyes on several luxury cars, just waiting to buy them when he grows up.

At a young age, he already has the noble and aristocratic temperament of a “rich second generation”.

"If you don't want to study, then don't study. You don't have that much time. You have an exam soon," said Jiang's mother. "You should practice piano on the weekends."

"ah--?"

Nuozai exaggeratedly dragged out the words, fell on the bed with a plop, and covered his face: "No."

"What do you mean by 'no'?" Jiang's mother encouraged. "We've been practicing for so long, and now it's time to test our results. We can't relax! - You two come over here and redo the questions you got wrong."

.

That night, Nuozi tossed and turned, twisting and turning around, holding onto his classmate Gu Jiangkuo's arm, like a spoiled kitten, "Ahhhhh I don't want to practice the piano QAQ"

“It would be great if the piano suddenly broke down QAQ”

Dajiang was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes. He easily pressed down on his friend's soft face and pushed Nuozai back onto his own pillow, saying casually, "Why don't you just break the piano?"

"Huh?" Nuozi suddenly realized, "Why didn't I think of that?"

Then I felt a stuffed dinosaur toy shoved into my arms, and then the quilt covered my face. Then I heard Dajiang, my brother, yawn and say, "Shut up and go to sleep!"

On the weekend, Dajiang went to the Sanda class as planned.

Because he still wanted to go to and from school with Nuozai, he begged his parents to enroll him in an intensive training class, three hours every day on Saturdays and Sundays.

Since it was an extracurricular class that his son took the initiative to request, Mr. Gu fully supported it and even accompanied him to class in person.

Since inheriting Mr. Gu's estate, the last thing the family lacks is money. Mother Gu is ambitious and business-minded. Her investment company in Yanlin is thriving, and the accounts of the Gu Group are also well managed, allowing Father Gu to concentrate on research and share more of the family responsibilities.

He is very happy to help his children with their homework and extracurricular classes.

Seeing his son's well-produced moves and his strong and healthy body, Mr. Gu was very pleased. He inexplicably felt a sense of happiness as if his wish had been fulfilled. He also had a strange feeling that "in his previous life, he missed his child's growth because he was too busy with work, and now he finally made up for it."

However, Mr. Gu was a materialist and quickly dismissed this ridiculous idea. He waited patiently for his son to get home from school, and the father and son happily had a meal at KFC.

However, after finishing his meal, his son wiped his mouth and immediately performed a unique trick of "having friends but no real father" and said, "Dad, please take me to Nuonuo's house."

"...Why are you going to someone else's house again? Nuonuo is going to take an exam, don't disturb her." Can you please accompany your old father?

"But school starts tomorrow, and I have to take him to school, otherwise he will be bullied by Ding Pingzhou and the others."

"Don't worry, Uncle Jiang has already dealt with the Ding family. They don't dare," Gu Min said quietly. "The Ding family must be regretting it so much right now. How could they dare to mess with you two little guys again? Forget it. Don't ask about adults' affairs."

Dajiang: "..." When did I ask about it? Didn't you take the initiative to ask?

No matter what, little Dajiang was sent over by Mr. Gu as he wished. It had long been common practice for the two families to send their children to each other, so when the nanny Aunt Mei said, "Mr. Jiang and his wife are not at home," Mr. Gu could safely hand his son over to her and then drove away.

But after Father Gu left, Aunt Mei said mysteriously, "Actually, the young master is at home."

Dajiang: "Then I'll go find him!"

"Don't go yet. The young master made a mistake and is being punished," Aunt Mei said, looking around. "Have you eaten yet? I'll serve you some food."

But when Gu Jiangkuo heard that Nuozai had been punished, how could he stay any longer? Without even turning his head, he replied, "I've eaten!" and rushed in with ease.

He was as familiar with Jiang's house as his own home, and found the person in a short while.

That was the bedroom of Jiang's father and mother. Through the crack in the door, you could just see Nuozai half-lying on the bed, his pants pulled down to his knees, revealing his round buttocks that were beaten red.

Mother Jiang's clothes hanger rose and fell, and her buttocks were hit down and bounced back up, looking elastic and pitiful. Dajiang wanted to rush in to save her.

But he was afraid to step forward because of Jiang's mother's authority—after all, this auntie often checked their homework and made them copy any mistakes as punishment—and just as Dajiang was hesitating, he heard Jiang's mother angrily say, "How dare you pour your father's tea on the piano? What were you thinking?"

Dajiang: “…” It seems like he deserves it.

Dajiang hesitated for a while, but finally decided to leave quietly, pretending that he hadn't noticed anything. It was too embarrassing to see a good friend being beaten, and he didn't dare to disobey Aunt Jiang.

After waiting for about half an hour, Nuozai finally came downstairs with red eyes and nose. Seeing his classmate Gu Dajiang, he was stunned at first, then said in a childish voice with a tearful tone: "Brother Dajiang, when did you come? What snacks do you want? I'll get them for you."

Dajiang: “Uh…”

While crying, Nuozai dug out an imported snack from the restaurant's snack cabinet that he had never seen before. It was written entirely in English. He handed it to Gu Jiangkuo and said with sobs, "I've kept it here for two days, waiting for you to come and eat it together. QAQ."
