In the morning, I took the two main subjects of Chinese and Mathematics, and in the afternoon I had to take the Ideological and Moral Education test.
Principal Liu didn't mention anything about lunch; he just paid for it out of his own pocket.
They drank porridge and ate steamed buns. There were more than a dozen students, including himself, and it cost two yuan, with an extra bowl of pickles.
"Student Wang Zhaozhao, someone is looking for you at the school gate." Wang Zhaozhao was drinking porridge and eating steamed buns when she heard someone calling her on the radio.
Wang Zhaozhao stood up silently and walked out.
"System, could it be that my fourth uncle is bringing me food?" Wang Zhaozhao asked the system.
"..." The system did not answer, not wanting to hear its host's subsequent lack of pride.
"Of course it is." Wang Zhaozhao raised his head proudly.
Haha, the system really wants to output two laughs.
Wang Zhaozhao came out, but she didn't put down the steamed buns because she was protecting them.
So, Wang Sibing, who was waiting at the school gate, saw his eldest niece coming out from afar while eating a steamed bun.
"Fourth Uncle..." Wang Zhaozhao smiled as soon as he saw Wang Sibing.
"If I knew you wouldn't go hungry, I wouldn't have brought you food."
“……!”
The uncle-nephew relationship is over.
Wang Zhaozhao looked at the half-eaten steamed bun in his hand and couldn't bear to throw it away.
This was an era when most people were not well fed or clothed. If she threw away half a steamed bun, she would probably have nightmares at night.
"Do you want to finish eating here, or take it inside and have the bowl brought out?" Wang Sibing asked her.
Although the county primary school was closed today to make room for the candidates, there were still many parents who came to deliver lunch. Many students ate at the school gate while their parents waited on the side.
However, most of them are elderly people and women.
Wang Sibing happened to have a day off today... Mainly because Xie Ailian thought that since it was so close, she could send food over, so Wang Zhaozhao wouldn't have to spend money to eat in the county primary school cafeteria.
She didn't expect that Principal Liu would pay for a meal for more than a dozen students out of his own pocket.
"Has Fourth Uncle eaten?" Wang Zhaozhao asked.
"It's okay, I'll eat it later when I get home."
"Then I'll take it in and eat it. Fourth uncle, don't wait here. I'll wash the bowl after I finish eating and put it in the cafeteria. You can pick it up after the exam."
Hearing this, Wang Sibing thought for a moment and said, "Alright! I only have one exam this afternoon, so can I pick you up at two?"
"How about I go back by myself?"
"That won't work. Wait until you're familiar with the road before you can walk on your own. I'll bring your grandma along so she can get familiar with the road."
"All right."
Wang Zhaozhao returned to the cafeteria with a lunch box, attracting the attention of many classmates.
She just smiled.
When I opened the lunch box, I smelled the delicious food.
It’s not a very good dish, but once the covered lunch box is opened, the aroma will spread.
A braised long bean, a small piece of fermented tofu...
Uh, wrong, it’s a very good dish.
There were a few small fish the size of an adult's thumb, fried until golden on both sides and stir-fried with red peppers.
"Gudong..."
Some people swallowed their saliva.
Wang Zhaozhao picked up the chopsticks and said, "My fourth aunt just gave birth. These must be the little fish my fourth uncle bought so that my little cousin would have milk. I have an exam today, so he gave me a few to eat..."
She picked up a piece of fish and handed it to Principal Liu. "Principal, try my grandma's cooking... I haven't used these chopsticks yet, so they're clean."
She is actually very afraid of such occasions and her social anxiety is about to break out.
But she would never show it on her face. She was smiling and gave Song Yanni another small fish.
There are two left...
"Classmate Wang Zhaozhao, I also want to try the little fish made by your grandma to see if they are delicious..." Xu Yanni came over with a lunch box in her hand.
Wang Zhaozhao's classmates were stunned, and several of them stared at this person who appeared out of nowhere.
Do you have any shame?!
"I'll trade you a pig's trotter for some small fish." Xu Yanni felt everyone's gazes and added angrily.
"No need to change. I wanted to give you one to try anyway." Wang Zhaozhao said with a smile.
After dealing with her so many times, she knew what kind of person Xu Yanni was.
Hearing her say that, Xu Yanni narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Okay, but I also want you to try the pig's trotters made by our school's master chef. They're so delicious..."
As she spoke, she picked up a piece of pig's trotter and gave it to Wang Zhaozhao. She was also quite considerate and picked up a piece for Principal Liu. After hesitating for a moment, she asked Song Yanni, "Do you want to try it?"
“…Yes, thank you.”
Song Yanni gritted her teeth.
Humph! It would be a waste if you don’t eat it.
This meal was quite sumptuous for Wang Zhaozhao and his friends.
Principal Liu was no stranger to Xu Yanni, having met her several times. When they were almost done eating, he asked, "Xu Yanni, are you going straight to junior high school?"
Ordinarily, yes, but because of the recitation competition held at the No. 1 Primary School in the city last time, I think this student will also receive attention from some middle schools in the city.
Moreover, recruiting students from a county primary school may be less troublesome or easier than recruiting students from a commune primary school.
"I..." Xu Yanni hesitated.
Originally, yes, her family thought that if she had the opportunity to go to a middle school in the city, it would be better.
"Where is classmate Wang Zhaozhao?" Everyone had talked about this topic before, but didn't finish it.
"I'm going to the county junior high school." Wang Zhaozhao answered without hesitation.
She wouldn't have done badly in the exam today. There was no chance of her performing poorly or getting such a poor result that she would be too embarrassed to enter the county junior high school.
By now there were no surprises.
Xu Yanni's hesitation was different from Qin Aijun's, so Wang Zhaozhao would not persuade her.
At one o'clock, the afternoon exam begins.
Ideology and morality is a secondary subject. Although it is counted towards the total score, the test questions are not complicated. Judgment questions account for more than half of the total, followed by multiple-choice questions, and the last four major questions are essay questions.
The true-or-false questions and multiple-choice questions were particularly easy to answer. Wang Zhaozhao finished them in ten minutes. As for the essay questions, because he had to write a lot of words, it took him almost ten minutes to answer all four questions.
She was too lazy to lie down on the table, so she just checked it twice and handed in the paper.
Sitting under the shade of the tree, the wind was hot. She felt a little lazy, a little stuffy and irritable. Wang Zhaozhao felt that she needed a popsicle to survive.
"Let's go to the school gate and see if there's anything for sale. If there is, I'll treat you to a meal," said Xu Yanni.
"No need to treat us, we can buy our own." Wang Zhaozhao jumped up.
Xu Yanni didn't argue. The two of them walked towards the school gate together, taking advantage of the little shade at the base of the wall.
Hey!
It’s really for sale.
The two of them shouted "Buy popsicles" through the iron railings of the school gate, and the man pushed his bike over and asked them what they wanted.
There are plain popsicles, mung bean popsicles, red bean popsicles, and ice cream.
Wang Zhaozhao originally wanted ice cream, but Xu Yanni shook her head at her, so she chose mung bean ice cream, bought one for herself and brought one for Song Yanni.
After giving the money, the two of them took their popsicles and walked back along the wall to the shade of the trees.
"Why are you buying it for her? Why not for me?" Xu Yanni asked leisurely while opening the popsicle and eating it.
"...Aren't you still going to buy it for me?"
"Yes, I could buy it for you, but you bought it for Song Yanni instead."
Xu Yanni curled her lips.
Wang Zhaozhao: “……!”
Feel like a scumbag for no reason?
