Chapter 220: Raising a Child (Part 3)
Jiang and Xie had been at home for the past few days, and on Monday evening, they suddenly decided to go pick up Xiao Lizhi together. They arrived at the school gate early.
This is an affiliated school of Kyoto University. It has four academic levels from kindergarten to high school and claims to provide "one-stop education."
When it was time to go home from school, the kindergarten children lined up, first the small class, then the middle class, and finally the large class.
According to Xiao Lizhi's age, she was originally in the middle class, but last year everyone found that with Xiao Lizhi's knowledge reserve, she would have no problem going to elementary school.
The elders felt that Xiao Lizhi should have a complete childhood and did not want her to skip a grade, except for Xiao Lizhi's grandfather and grandfather-in-law - Xie Jun and Jiang Zhanming.
Xie Jun believes that it is a complete waste of time for Xiao Lizhi to go to kindergarten, and it is of no benefit to Xiao Lizhi's development.
Jiang Zhanming found Xiao Lizhi's kindergarten teacher and asked about Xiao Lizhi's situation in the kindergarten.
I heard that when Xiao Lizhi was lonely in the class, the two old men insisted on transferring their precious granddaughter to another class.
Jiang Yunyao was not at home at the time, so Shi Wanrou and Ruan Mengsheng went to ask Xiao Lizhi what she thought.
Xiao Lizhi said that the other children couldn't understand what she said, and she had already learned the knowledge the teacher taught her, so she was very bored every day.
When the elders heard this, they discussed it and finally decided to let Xiao Lizhi skip a grade and be in the same class with Lu Lin and his son Lu Yanxi.
This is also why little Lizhi started attending the senior kindergarten at the age of four.
Jiang Yunyao dressed up in disguise.
She tied her hair into a high ponytail, wore sunglasses and a mask, dressed in a white T-shirt and jeans, and carried a small white cross-body bag. She looked like a college student in her early twenties.
Xie Yixing's outfit was simpler, with the necessary baseball cap, sunglasses and mask, and a simple white T-shirt and black pants.
The two arrived early and occupied a seat closer to the front, so that most parents could only see their backs.
When Xiao Lizhi and the others got home from school, Jiang Yunyao saw her at a glance.
The little girl was carrying a small schoolbag and walking at the end of the team. Next to her was Lu Yanxi, who looked very similar to Lu Mucheng.
Unlike the chattering children, the two of them didn't speak to each other, as if they were strangers.
After all the children had left the school, most of them turned around and waved goodbye to Xiao Lizhi.
Little Lizhi said goodbye to them with a smile, treating all the children equally and not leaving out any of them.
The posture and the scene are comparable to a presidential trip!
Jiang Xie and the others: "..."
Little Lizhi noticed them, but did not call for help immediately. Instead, she followed the two back to the car and then called out "Mom and Dad" in surprise.
Jiang Yunyao saw that she didn't get in the car, "Anything else?"
Little Lizhi nodded, "Mom, can you and Dad wait for me? Little Lizhi will be back soon!"
Although Jiang and Xie were puzzled, they did not ask any questions and only reminded her to be careful.
Little Lizhi responded and ran back to the school gate. She took out a tissue from her schoolbag and spread it on the steps, then sat and waited for a while.
The sixth grade students were leaving school. A boy with clean clothes and fair skin stood at the end of the line and walked straight towards Xiao Lizhi.
Xiao Lizhi took out two exercise books and a plastic bag containing two small biscuits from her schoolbag and handed them to him.
The boy took it and tutted, "Xie Xingning, you asked me to do two homework assignments and only gave me two cookies. Isn't that a bit unfair?"
Little Lizhi smiled sweetly and said tolerantly, "You don't have to do it!"
If you don't do it, there are plenty of people who will.
When the boy heard this, he didn't dare to bargain anymore and quickly stuffed his homework book and biscuits into his schoolbag.
Then he promised, "I was delayed this time. Next time I will go to the big class to find you earlier!"
Xiao Lizhi was very satisfied with his self-awareness. She waved and said goodbye to him politely.
On the other side, Xie Yixing saw the boy and was worried that Xiao Lizhi had been cheated, and he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
After listening to the system's live broadcast, Jiang Yunyao was very upset.
She really didn't expect that Xiao Lizhi not only didn't do his homework, but also outsourced it!
The system knew a lot. It excitedly asked, "Host, do you know where the biscuits in Xiao Lizhi's hand came from?"
Jiang Yunyao was reminded by it and discovered that something was wrong.
The pastry chef at home didn't make cookies, so where did Xiao Lizhi get the cookies? Were they given by the school?
{Nonono, Lu Yanxi gave it to her!}
The system explained the whole story.
Little Lizhi helps Lu Yanxi with her homework, and Lu Yanxi gives her ten cookies—oh no, the price has gone up to twenty today—as a reward!
{See that boy? He's the one Xiao Lizhi is looking for. If you finish Xiao Lizhi and Lu Yanxi's homework, you'll get two cookies!}
Jiang Yunyao: “…”
My goodness, who did Xiao Lizhi learn this from? Not only does the middleman make a profit from the price difference, but he also takes away nine-tenths of the remuneration. How shady!
After Xiao Lizhi came back, Xie Yixing looked at her little hand carefully, confirmed that she was not injured, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately, he asked two questions in quick succession, "Did that boy bully you? Did he lie to you?"
Little Lizhi looked at her nervous father and comforted him, "Dad, he is a very kind-hearted person, not a bad person!"
Jiang Yunyao was silent.
Is everyone she cheats called "warm-hearted" by her?
Xie Yixing was still worried.
After Xiao Lizhi got on the car, Jiang Yunyao patted his shoulder and whispered comfortingly,
"Don't worry, with Xiao Lizhi's personality, she could only be trying to deceive others!"
Xie Yixing, who had been cheated: "..."
——
When talking about Xiao Lizhi's future, the elders in the family each have something to say.
Ms. Ruan wants her to take over the Ruan Group; Jiang Zhanming wants her to become a hacker;
Lin Xiaohu wanted her to join the army (yes, after failing to get Xiao Douding to join the army, he set his sights on Xiao Lizhi);
Xie Jun and Xie Yeting wanted her to inherit the Xie family; Ms. Shi mentioned Taoist Master Qiu Wu.
"Master Qiu Wu named Little Litchi himself. Perhaps he has other plans."
This sentence made everyone stop arguing and look at Jiang Yunyao.
So, Jiang Yunyao came to Qingfeng Temple with everyone's questions.
Under the paulownia tree, Taoist Master Qiu Wu, dressed in a Taoist robe, sat at a stone table, with a glass of water placed opposite her and in front of her.
The steam was clearly freshly boiled water, and the Taoist priest was calm and composed, as if he was waiting for someone.
Jiang Yunyao walked over and asked uncertainly, "Master, are you waiting for me?"
"Um."
Taoist Qiu Wu looked up at her, pointed at the stone bench opposite, and motioned her to sit down.
After Jiang Yunyao sat down, she asked again, "Do you know why I came to see you?"
Taoist Master Qiu Wu did not answer whether he knew or not, but gave a sentence.
"Xing Ning is not suitable to be the master of the temple."
Ever since Xiao Nuo's incident, the master has not accepted any more disciples, nor has he decided on the next abbot.
Jiang Yunyao had some guesses in her mind on the way here, but she didn't expect that her master would solve her doubts before she even opened her mouth.
In fact, Jiang Yunyao has always just wanted Xiao Lizhi to decide her own future.
If Xiao Lizhi had to choose a path, she would exclude "becoming the abbot of Qingfeng Temple" first.
The other paths have infinite possibilities, but this one requires Xiao Lizhi to keep going.
Jiang Yunyao didn't dare to say that she understood Xiao Lizhi 100%, but she was 80% sure that Xiao Lizhi would not like such a life.
Taoist Priest Qiu Wu stood up, turned around, looked at the old sycamore tree in front of him, and sighed.
"Xing Ning is a child with ideas. To her, Qingfeng Temple is a shackle; to Qingfeng Temple, she is both an opportunity and a risk."
"A fire can warm us, but it can also burn everything. Xing Ning is like a fire. It can lead Qingfeng Temple to a higher position, but it can also destroy Qingfeng Temple in a moment."
"In my opinion, what Qingfeng Temple needs in the future is a leader who has a sense of justice and is down-to-earth and responsible."
"Go back. No matter which path Xing Ning chooses, her life will be brilliant and wonderful."
The system didn't dare to speak in front of the Taoist priest, but it quietly opened the scanning record and placed it in front of Jiang Yunyao.
{——: Female Lead: Xie Xingning}
On the day Lizhi was born, Jiang Yunyao had already seen the scan results. She still remembered the system's explanation at the time -
In the future, no matter what kind of plot Xiao Lizhi starts, she will be the heroine.
What the master said at this moment just matched what the system said, and the system's action seemed to be saying: See, I was right!
Jiang Yunyao considered carefully what her master and the system said, and finally understood what her master meant.
If Xiao Lizhi becomes the abbot of Qingfeng Temple, he will lead Qingfeng Temple to flourish, but the result is that the spirit of Qingfeng Temple will remain in the world, while the Taoist temple itself will fall into ruin and disappear.
What the master wants is the next abbot of Qingfeng Temple. If the Taoist temple of Qingfeng Temple no longer exists, there will be no abbot of Qingfeng Temple.
All of Jiang Yunyao's doubts were answered, and she bid farewell to her master, "Master, I understand. I will come to see you next time!"
Taoist Qiu Wu turned his back to her and said, "Go ahead."
After Jiang Yunyao left, Taoist Qiu Wu turned around and took out two bamboo sticks from his sleeve, on which were written the words "Excellent Fortune".
She put one back into her sleeve and clutched the other tightly in her hand.
