Shu Miao, who knew nothing about this, saw from the corner of his eye that Zili finally got up and went to the kitchen, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, it would be a lie to say that I wasn't moved when I saw Zili wholeheartedly fighting for the opportunity to study.
Although it seemed to backfire in the end, she naturally appreciated the other party's consideration for her.
Fortunately, the result is not bad, so there is no need to worry about it.
After washing the sticky black liquid off his hands, Shu Miao turned around and went back into the house.
I have to go to school tomorrow, so I have to go to bed early.
As for the things that the aunt mentioned to prepare, I guess it was stationery, school bags and the like.
But she was like a good cook who could not cook without rice. She wanted to prepare something, but the problem was that she had nothing, so there was nothing to prepare.
After a quick wash, I fell into bed.
The next day,
Before daybreak, Li Qiao got up early in the dark to make a fire and cook.
By the time the sweet potatoes were out of the pot, it was already dawn.
She threw the sweet potatoes directly into the bamboo basket that had been covered with coarse cloth, and finally put them into the backpack beside her.
I turned around and called my son to get up. Seeing his sleepy face, I splashed a cold handkerchief on his face.
"If you don't get up now, you'll be late. Hurry up and get up!"
Shu Zili closed his eyes and let his mother wipe his face, enjoying this rare warm moment.
"There are five pounds of millet under the covered backpack. You can give it to the teacher. If it's still not enough, you'll have to be smart.
Act more pitiful and mention the fact that Shu Miao attended one month less class than you did, and the teacher will probably stop saying it.
Do you understand?
Shu Zili still had his eyes closed, mumbling something in agreement.
Li Qiao's eyebrows twitched uncontrollably, and she gritted her teeth to hold back from getting angry.
If she hadn't been concerned about the girl's first day of school and not wanting to throw things around at this time, she would have slapped her long ago!
Li Qiao held his breath and took out a few banknotes from his pocket.
After thinking it over again and again, I reluctantly took out three one-cent bills and stuffed them into my son's hand. "Hold the money carefully, don't drop it. Buy a pen first. As for the eraser... just break off a piece and give it to her."
If you have one cent left, go to your Aunt Qin's house and exchange it for a cup of soy milk, do you hear me?"
When he heard the word "money", Shu Zili suddenly opened his eyes.
He lowered his eyes and took a closer look, and saw that it was indeed three cents. All his sleepiness disappeared in an instant.
He clenched the money in his palms, grinning from ear to ear, and responded to his mother's instructions loudly and enthusiastically.
Li Qiao was amused by his money-grubbing look and poked his forehead in annoyance.
"Stop being silly and go wake everyone up! Aren't you afraid of being punished by the teacher for being late?"
"I'll go right away!" After being reminded like this, Shu Zili jumped up from the bed, put on his shoes, and rushed out without even having time to lift his heels.
Li Qiao was worried and shouted, "Put both of your books in your bags. Don't lose them. Got it?"
"I know, I won't lose my book even if I lose it!" Shu Zili responded loudly without turning his head.
In fact, Shu Miao was woken up as early as when Zili was crying.
Looking at the dim sky, she was dazed for a moment, but quickly came to her senses.
The next moment, he quickly got up and washed.
Shu Zili happened to see his cousin washing her face, and only then realized that he had not washed his face yet.
He shamelessly rubbed against her side, scooped up a handful of water and wiped it on his face, then turned around to look at the two baskets on the ground.
Without thinking, he picked up the basket of millet and gestured for her to carry the other basket of sweet potatoes.
He tiptoed to the left wing and switched the shoulder bag containing tung nuts with the cloth bag containing millet under the backpack.
Then the two of them hurried towards Yueer Bay before dawn.
The route just happened to coincide with the end of the creek where Shu Miao had visited last time. Looking at the winding dirt road, her heart was pounding, and she looked forward to the upcoming study life even more.
Along the way, Shu Zili was also very excited and chattered non-stop.
But most of them were about introducing his good friends, where he went every day, etc...
Shu Miao responded incoherently, but his mind had already flown to the legendary Yueer Bay.
After climbing over several mountains, the shadows of some houses gradually appeared in front of us.
Shu Zili didn't stop until a residential area appeared.
Before Shu Miao could ask, Shu Zili put his hands close to his mouth and made a trumpet shape, shouting loudly,
"Huang Mansui, it's time to go to school--" An echo instantly resounded among the mountains.
Immediately afterwards, a loud response came from below, "Here I am, wait a moment——"
Shu Miao was a little surprised that the two of them could make an appointment to go to school together when they were at least several miles apart at home.
But this unprecedented experience made her feel full of novelty at the moment.
Unexpectedly, after receiving the response, Shu Zili grinned and ran away without saying a word.
This really confused Shu Miao.
In just a moment, she hurriedly grabbed the backpack behind her and took a step forward to chase after him.
Although Shu Miao was slightly better in a serious comparison of strength, Shu Zili was much taller than her after all.
At this moment, he relied on his height advantage and just kept running wildly, so Shu Miao could only barely catch up with him.
Looking at the figure in front of him who seemed to never get tired, Shu Miao was so anxious that he almost rolled his eyes.
After reluctantly following for a while, she decided to give up!
Just as Shu Miao stopped to rest and hadn't even caught his breath, he heard the sound of hurried running behind him.
