In her previous life, Old Lady Li toiled her entire life for her family. She raised three children and brought up her grandchildren, never enjoying a single day of peace. Yet, her sacrifices were n...
At 2 PM, after having dinner, Li Xiaoyu went to school to study.
"Xiaoyu, how do you do this problem?" Zheng Qingqing asked Li Xiaoyu, pointing to a big problem in her math workbook.
Li Xiaoyu glanced at him and said, "You've already come all this way? The teacher hasn't even taught this far yet."
Zheng Qingqing: "..."
"How dare you say that to me? You've already finished all the workbooks for all the subjects."
The materials she looks at now are all sent back by her cousin from Shanghai, and the practice materials are all kinds of college entrance examination past papers.
Li Xiaoyu pursed her lips and smiled at Zheng Qingqing, "Come on, let me explain how to do this problem."
He Juexin was so engrossed in reading that he felt like he needed to pee, so he put down his book and went to the classroom. As soon as he left the classroom, he saw a handsome, refined-looking middle-aged man wearing a black overcoat, gold-rimmed glasses, and with his hair neatly combed.
He Juexin paused for a moment, thinking, "What a charismatic uncle!"
"Little student."
The handsome, mature man spoke, his voice gentle yet magnetic.
"Oh, Uncle, are you calling me?" He Juexin asked, somewhat flattered, pointing to his nose with his index finger.
Li Bowen nodded and smiled, "Excuse me, is this Li Xiaoyu's classroom?"
He Juexin nodded, "Yes, Uncle, what's your name to Li Xiaoyu?"
Li Bowen said, "I am her maternal uncle. Could you please call her here?"
"Good uncle, oh no, uncle, good uncle." He Juexin blushed deeply and turned to go into the classroom.
Li Bowen chuckled and shook his head. This little kid is quite cute.
When He Juexin walked to Li Xiaoyu's table, his face was still red.
βLi, Li Xiaoyu, your uncle is here.β
"What?" Li Xiaoyu suddenly looked up.
He Juexin: "Your eldest uncle is coming."
"Is my uncle coming?" Li Xiaoyu quickly stood up from her desk. Wasn't her uncle in Haishi? When would he be back?
He Juexin nodded, "He's...he's outside."
Li Xiaoyu quickly walked past He Juexin. The other students in the classroom, upon learning that Li Xiaoyu's uncle from Shanghai had come, crowded around the windows and doors to watch.
Li Xiaoyu walked into the classroom and, sure enough, saw her uncle in a black coat in the corridor.
"Uncle." She smiled and jogged forward.
Li Bowen: "Xiaoyu."
Li Xiaoyu: "Uncle, what brings you here? When are you coming back?"
Li Bowen reached out and brushed aside her bangs that had gotten messy from running. "I came here yesterday, but I had to come back for a meeting. I'm flying back to Haishi tonight, so I said I'd come see you before I go back."
Li Xiaoyu frowned, "So rushed? Uncle, you're working too hard. You need to take care of yourself."
Li Bowen smiled and nodded, "Your eldest uncle knows. I heard from your second uncle that you were bullied at school a while ago?"
Li Xiaoyu: "I returned them all, and they all apologized to me. One classmate dropped out of school, and another transferred to another class, but it didn't affect me at all."
"That's good. If anything happens at school, be sure to tell your family. Don't keep it from them."
Li Xiaoyu nodded vigorously and smiled sweetly, "I will. Yes, Uncle, how are Aunt doing lately?"
"What do you miss about your aunt?" Li Bowen asked with a smile.
Li Xiaoyu smiled shyly and nodded.
Li Bowen: "Your aunt is doing well. She's going to visit Japan with a delegation, but she'll be back before she leaves Japan."
Besides being the wife of the mayor of Hai City, Su Wanzhen also has another identity: a senior translator.
In addition to translating books, I also act as a translator for visiting delegations or groups.
"My aunt is amazing," Li Xiaoyu said admiringly.
Li Bowen smiled and said, "I'll have your aunt bring you a Walkman from abroad so you can learn English better."
Li Xiaoyu: "Then I'll thank my aunt in advance."
Li Bowen: "Yes, I also brought you some clothes and imported snacks that your aunt recently bought for you. I won't give them to you now; I need to go to the dumpling shop, so I'll take them there later."
"Buy me clothes?" Li Xiaoyu asked, her eyes wide. "My aunt has already bought me so many clothes, I can't even wear them all."
Li Bowen smiled and said, "If you can't wear them all, take your time. There's no rush."
Li Xiaoyu: "..."
All right.
Li Bowen glanced at the students huddled by the window and door, smiled, and said to Xiaoyu, "Okay, your uncle won't keep you from studying. I'll go now."
Li Xiaoyu nodded, "Goodbye, Uncle."
"Goodbye." Li Bowen raised his hand and turned to leave.
Li Xiaoyu watched her uncle's figure disappear at the entrance of the building. She walked to the railing and looked down. Soon she saw her uncle coming down from the first floor.
Li Bowen noticed someone upstairs looking at him. He looked up and saw Xiaoyu. He waved to her.
Li Xiaoyu quickly waved her hand, and Li Bowen gestured for her to go back to the classroom before turning around and striding away.
Li Xiaoyu turned back to the classroom with some reluctance. As soon as she entered the classroom, her classmates surrounded her.
"Xiaoyu, is that your uncle? Your uncle looks so refined and handsome."
"Doesn't your uncle work in Haishi? Why is he back?"
"Why did your uncle come to see you?"
Li Xiaoyu's head was buzzing from all these questions coming one after another.
Zheng Qingqing: "Can you all be quiet and let Xiaoyu answer before asking any more questions?"
The students around them then shut up and quieted down.
Li Xiaoyu sighed and said, "That's right, that's my uncle who's still working. My uncle came back for a meeting and he's leaving tonight. Because he's in a hurry, he could only come to the school to see me."
"What kind of meeting is it?" a classmate asked curiously.
Li Xiaoyu shrugged and said, "How would I know?"
"Li Xiaoyu, is your uncle a high-ranking official in Haishi?" Math classmate asked Li Xiaoyu with a curious look.
Li Xiaoyu smiled but didn't say anything.
He Juexin said, "Isn't that obvious? Li Xiaoyu's uncle is a military commander, so how could his other uncle be a minor official? He might even be the top official in Shanghai."
Li Xiaoyu glanced at He Juexin; he was capable of guessing.
"Xiaoyu, your uncle really likes you, doesn't he? He still makes time to come see you even though he's so busy."
"Yes, I just saw how gentle and loving your uncle is to you. I wish I had such a good uncle."
βI have an older brother, but he will borrow money from my mother.β
Li Xiaoyu said with a smile, "Anyway, whether it's my eldest uncle or my second uncle, they are both extremely kind and very good to me."
"Okay, everyone stop crowding around me and go back to your seats to read and do your homework. If you don't understand something, come and ask me."
"Good class monitor."
"Yes, sir."
