Several people were reciting this way, and little Youzi sneezed loudly over there.
Wang Jingxia observed for a while, as if trying to confirm whether Xiao Youzi had a cold, but she only saw Xiao Youzi rubbing his nose.
"Be careful not to catch a cold."
After rubbing his nose, Xiao Youzi said: "I don't have a cold, my nose is just itchy."
I have to say that the climate here is very different from that of my hometown. It’s okay for playing here for a while, but if you want to live here permanently, it’s hard to adapt.
At the beginning of the new semester, Xiao Youzi was sent to the same primary school as Xiangxiang. With new friends, she began to adapt a little bit.
But I still miss everything about my hometown from time to time.
Xiangxiang has become Xiaoyouzi’s daily school partner. Xiangxiang is very lively and she often meets children she knows along the way.
"Good morning, have you eaten?"
"Have you eaten yet?"
"Going to school?"
"Hey, good morning!"
As they were greeting each other, the erhua sound came out.
Xiangxiang proudly said to Xiaoyouzi, "Sister, they all play with me!"
Xiao Youzi has been tutoring with Hua Wanchi for a long time, and his professional passive skill has been triggered.
She asked thoughtfully, "How are they studying?"
This question really stumped Xiangxiang. Who would ask about someone's grades for no reason?
If you meet someone with good grades, you will bring shame upon yourself. If you meet someone with bad grades, it will be a bit boring and sometimes even hurtful.
Although there are many professors nearby, most of them are ordinary people, and not all of them care about studying.
Studying depends entirely on the child's self-awareness. If they can study well, it's good. If they can't, it doesn't matter. They can just take over the adults' class in the future.
In short, just read as much as you can.
Of course, for most people, getting a high school diploma is not a problem, as long as the adults in the family have jobs, they can afford it.
Feeling bewildered for a moment, Xiangxiang shook her head: "I don't know either. We usually don't ask about grades."
Unless you are in the same class, no one cares about your academic performance.
Little Youzi nodded, feeling a little regretful.
It’s a pity that she can’t force others to study openly like her sister.
In fact, it is quite funny to see the painful expressions on the faces of children who are forced to learn.
The school is not far from home, but it is still quite a distance.
Not long after school started, Xiao Youzi and Xiangxiang went to school together as usual when someone came towards them.
The man still had a friendly smile on his face: "Hello, little friend, can uncle ask you a question?"
Xiao Youzi: "If you want to ask for directions, I'm not sure. I've only been here a short time."
Stranger: "Do you have a sister named Hua Wanchi?"
Little Youzi was full of doubts. How did he know his sister's name?
Having experienced kidnapping several times, she has become somewhat alert:
"How do you know my sister's name is Hua Wanchi?"
"I know her. She treated me to popsicles during summer vacation."
Xiao Youzi looked him up and down suspiciously. Although her sister was usually very enthusiastic and cheerful, and did act somewhat as she pleased, this strange man was still very suspicious.
She tightened her face and looked very serious: "What do you want to do? Let me tell you, there's a police station nearby! Don't mess around!"
Xu Zhongpei smiled and said, "Little friend, uncle is not a bad person, I just want to know some information from you."
Seeing Xiao Youzi's obvious disbelief, he took out a few chocolate candies from his pocket and coaxed her:
"As long as you answer my question, I'll give you some candy, okay? This is chocolate, imported from abroad. The supply and marketing cooperative doesn't sell it."
As a child, who can resist candy?
Especially something as rare as chocolate. The information says that this family all came from the village, and they probably have never seen something like chocolate.
Therefore, Xu Zhongpei was very confident. Even if the person opposite him was a ten-year-old child, what could a ten-year-old child understand?
Still very greedy.
He knew that the family was well off, so he didn't prepare any ordinary candies, fearing that the child would eat too much and lose interest in them. He gritted his teeth and took out the chocolate that he had finally gotten from someone.
Little Yuzi took a look at the chocolate and shook her head.
"This is too greasy. I've stopped eating it a long time ago—and eating too much is bad for my teeth. Uncle, please don't delay my schooling. If you have any questions, just ask an adult. It's not nice to lie to a child."
As if looking at someone who has never eaten chocolate.
Hua Wanchi has stockpiled a lot of this stuff from various brands. After all, it is high in sugar and fat, and eating it in one go can restore energy when you are extremely hungry.
She originally prepared it just in case, but later it became just a snack.
There was a time when the whole family loved to eat it, so we kept a lot of it at home and allowed everyone to eat as much as they wanted. In the end, everyone got sick from eating too much.
Even though he controls his sugar intake to avoid damaging his teeth, Xiao Youzi usually has enough to eat, so naturally he can't eat such sweet things.
As for chocolate, she's already tired of it.
It’s not as good as the dried pumpkin at home.
Xu Zhongpei couldn't believe it: "This is chocolate. Do you know what chocolate is? Why don't you try a piece first?"
He couldn't believe that there were children who could resist the temptation of candy!
Even he couldn't help but feel happy when he had chocolate to eat.
Little Grapefruit: "I've eaten chocolate before!"
Hearing what the other party said, Xu Zhongpei suddenly reacted.
This sentence contained the information he wanted.
He looked at Xiao Youzi deeply and asked, "Do you eat it often? Do you know where your chocolate comes from?"
Little Pomelo tilted her head and looked at him: "Why should I tell you? You're so weird."
She shook her head and walked around the uncle. If she didn't leave, she would be late for school.
Xu Zhongpei was also helpless. He couldn't force the child to stay and answer questions, so he could only let him go without asking a single question.
But it was the word about chocolate that made him feel that something was wrong.
They had checked and found out that the Hua family became rich thanks to the hostess Wan Qingliu who saved a wealthy relative. That relative was not only able to obtain scarce supplies, but also had connections abroad.
During the Cultural Revolution, Wan Qingliu also engaged in secret reselling and accumulated wealth in the process.
This matter belongs to a gray area. If it happened in the past, it would naturally be severely punished. But now it is obvious that we are promoting the market economy. The nature of the matter is not bad, so there is no need to pursue it.
Her children can often eat chocolate, which is not something that ordinary families can have, which further proves that the "relative" is up to something.
And Wan Qingliu must know the real existence of the so-called "relatives".
The original intention of asking the child was to get some useful information indirectly.
Although Xiao Youzi was not very cooperative, Xu Zhongpei felt that he had not gained nothing.
