Chapter 124 Big Brother, are you free? Come save me.
That evening, everyone was stunned by the mysterious, white gift, and after the initial surprise came various doubts.
Lou Lan: "Really? Is it a scam? There are often such scams on TV."
An Fusheng: "But this is Mr. Xu's company, they wouldn't lie, would they?"
Lou Lan: "That's true."
Wen Min: "Mang Mang only gave feedback on the tasting experience right before the Lunar New Year holiday, right? It's not even the Lantern Festival yet. Even if their company resumes work on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, it's only been a week at most. How come they've already received feedback and distributed prizes?"
An Fusheng: "Why don't we ask Niannian?"
Everyone agreed.
Bai Mangmang used An Fusheng's phone to make a voice call to Xu Sannian.
Xu Sannian explained that the instant noodle trial program had been running for half a year. When they visited the instant noodle factory, the program had actually ended, but the company still had some trial gift packs left to distribute. Since Xu Sannian had brought the group from the welfare home, he gave them the gift packs as a welfare benefit.
"Then does my prize not count?" Bai Mangmang asked, somewhat disappointed.
Xu Sannian: "It counts, of course it counts. You won the award based on your own merit. You don't know, Uncle He thought your suggestion was particularly good. He went to study it before the New Year holiday. I originally wanted to tell you, but I wanted to give you a surprise, so I didn't tell you in advance."
"Really?" Bai Mangmang's mood instantly brightened. "Thank you, Sister Niannian!"
After confirming, everyone fell into another dilemma: should Bai Mangmang really go on a ten-day trip to Europe?
Grandma: "Mangmang is still so young. How can she go so far without an adult to accompany her? And it's even abroad. It's not easy to keep in touch. What if something happens?"
Wen Yue: "Won't taking so long interfere with your studies?"
Lou Lan: "Mangmang can't understand English either?"
The ten-day European tour that Bai Mangmang received was not just a simple trip; it was an invitation to become the global taste tester for Little Tiger Instant Noodles. She was invited to visit the instant noodle factory in the UK and taste the newly developed instant noodles. The ten-day European tour was a perk for the global taste tester.
Tourism is very attractive, but for Bai Mangmang, the title and responsibility of the Global Food Tasting Officer are even more important, and she feels that she must go to this food tasting event.
At the same time, she felt that Europe was so far away, it was a foreign country! Her brother Zhaolin said that it would take a whole day to get there by plane.
Do castles really exist in foreign countries? Do princesses and princes live in castles?
But airplanes fly so fast, how far would it take to fly in a day? What if I encounter bad people there? Foreigners all speak English, right? If I encounter bad people and shout for help in Chinese, will they understand me?
With so many planes at the airport, which one is going to the instant noodle factory? How much does a plane ticket cost? Are foreign planes willing to carry Chinese children? What if they aren't willing and we can't get back?
Bai Mangmang felt both curious about the unknown distance and worried about the difficulties that might arise along the way.
However, she was only ten years old and had limited experience. Many difficulties that adults did not see were real mountains in her mind, making her feel intimidated.
It withered and turned white.
An Fusheng: "Didn't Mangmang have a winter break English tutoring class? She should know some basic communication skills, right?"
Bai Mangmang looked even more dejected. She was very unhappy about the holiday tutoring sessions and didn't pay attention in class at all. Waaah... I should have studied harder o(╥﹏╥)o...
Wen Min: "Does Mangmang want to go?"
Bai Mangmang nodded hesitantly, "But I'm a little scared..."
Wen Min: "Go if you want to. There's nothing to be afraid of. It's just a slightly distant place. It's no different from your grandparents taking you to the park. The only difference is that it's a bit far. You'll have to take a plane to get to the park. But when you fly there, someone will guide you. Just follow them and have fun when you get there. Besides, they're definitely inviting more than just you. There will be a group of friends to play with you. Don't be afraid."
A light suddenly shone in Bai Mangmang's dim eyes: "Really?"
Wen Min: "Yes, Europe is where Wen's mother used to go to school. There are many of Wen's mother's classmates and friends there. Your Aunt Sheng Sheng also works in England. There are relatives and acquaintances of our family everywhere. There's nothing to be afraid of."
The place where Aunt Wen went to school! Aunt Sheng Sheng is there too!
Bai Mangmang's fear vanished instantly. "Aunt Wen, where is your school? If I visit your school, I can take pictures with my smartwatch."
Wen Min: "That's wonderful. My school is in France, it's called the Sorbonne, and it's super beautiful."
Bai Mangmang: "Okay, I understand."
Wow! Mangmang is so young to go abroad, that's amazing!
Wen Yue exclaimed in admiration, and everyone seemed to suddenly realize that Bai Mangmang was going abroad, and they instantly became excited.
Grandparents quickly shared their international and diplomatic experiences with Bai Mangmang.
Grandpa: "It doesn't matter if you can't speak English. Foreigners can understand Chinese. Just say it a few times and use some gestures, and they'll understand."
Bai Mangmang: "I understand!"
Grandma: "Yes, just speak, and they will find a way to understand."
Bai Mangmang: "Mmm!"
Grandpa: "Let me tell you, your grandma and I don't speak a word of English, but we've made more than ten friends. When you go abroad, make some foreign friends too. If your teacher says your English isn't good, just say, 'I have foreign friends.' Your teacher will definitely look at you with new respect."
Following his grandfather's suggestion, Bai Mangmang thought about it and felt a sense of satisfaction: "Yes, I want to make two friends, one white and one black."
Wen Xingmou: "Sister, I'm white, are we friends?"
Bai Mangmang: "Yes, I'll find you another white friend."
Wen Xingmou: "Okay."
...
After talking about going abroad, Bai Mangmang took out his big babbling sticks and showed them off. He had eight big babbling sticks in total.
The kids at home are still young and haven't really felt anything about going abroad yet. They were happy when Bai Mangmang said she would bring them gifts, but Baji really wanted them, and they kept chasing after Bai Mangmang, saying, "Sister, can you give me one?"
Bai Mangmang: "No, this is what I got for writing cards. Who told you not to write cards properly?"
One word woke the children from their reverie, and they started writing cards too.
When the pretty young lady gave them a gift pack of instant noodles, she asked them to write cards for her. They all agreed. After eating the noodles, they asked their older brother to write the cards for them. Suddenly, the group of kids turned to An Fusheng and said, "Brother, why didn't we get any gifts?"
“Because your opinions were not adopted,” An Fusheng said.
An Shisi: "But why does Sister Mangmang have it?"
An Fusheng: "Because she writes well."
An Shisi: "Was it all written on your brother's phone?"
An Fusheng did indeed help them write their opinions. They scribbled on the cards while eating out, and after they finished, they asked An Fusheng to take them to submit the cards. An Fusheng was too lazy to do it, and more importantly, the cards were so messy that they didn't even get through. So An Fusheng said he would submit them using his mobile phone.
Wen Xinglin could write Chinese characters and pinyin and wrote a plan. An Fusheng couldn't remember what he wrote, but it was something like saying that instant noodles were delicious. An Shisi and Wen Xingmou couldn't write, so they drew some pictures on the cards. An Fusheng couldn't understand them. When An Fusheng handed them the cards, he wrote: "XXX said instant noodles are delicious."
Bai Mangmang also submitted the feedback using An Fusheng's phone, but she typed it herself. An Fusheng didn't know what she wrote, but she typed for a long time. An Fusheng thought she was secretly playing games, but he didn't expect her to be seriously writing her opinions and suggestions.
An Fusheng: "Sister Mangmang wrote it herself, have you forgotten?"
Wen Xingmou: "That's right, it was written by Sister Mangmang herself. Big brother, you only get a gift if you write it yourself, right?"
An Fusheng: "I think so."
An Shisi thought for a moment: "But I can't write."
An Fusheng: "Then we'll wait until you can write before you start."
An Shisi: "Can't your phone make voice calls?"
An Fusheng: "Voice messages are not allowed when writing comments."
An Shisi: "Oh, then when I learn to write, I'll write by myself, and then I'll have a gift."
An Fusheng: "Yes."
...
That evening, Bai Mangmang shared her experience of receiving a gift with Bai Miaomiao and her close friends. The next day at school, her deskmate Lin Suihuan grabbed her and asked, "Really?"
Bai Mangmang tore open the zipper of her backpack, revealing a thick stack of clogs boxes inside. "Look."
"Wow!"
Bai Mangmang pulled out one of the boxes, opened it, and took out a pacifier from inside. "Really?"
"It's really, really beautiful!"
Yesterday, Bai Mangmang sent Lin Suihuan photos, but the phone watch's resolution was low, so the photos weren't very clear. Now, seeing the real thing is a world of difference. The real thing is so amazing that Lin Suihuan was so excited that she danced around, "Let me touch it, let me touch it quickly."
The homeroom teacher, Ms. Li, saw Bai Mangmang and Lin Suihuan sneaking around under the desk in the hallway. She entered the classroom through the back door, walked over to the two of them, and looked at them with her arms crossed.
"Help, it's so cute!"
"This one is cute too."
"Oh my god, I'm dead, it's so cute."
"Huh, why is it suddenly so quiet?"
The two looked up and saw their homeroom teacher, Ms. Li, standing in front of them with a forced smile. "What are you looking at so intently? You're not even doing your morning reading. Can I borrow yours?"
Is she borrowing this? No, she's borrowing it and never going to pay it back!
Bai Mangmang watched helplessly as her homeroom teacher took away all her badges. The teacher even left a message: "If you want them back, have your parents come and get them."
The sky has fallen...
Bai Mangmang slumped over her desk for two class periods before finally deciding to call An Fusheng: "Brother, are you free?"
An Fusheng: "I'm cooking, what's wrong?"
Bai Mangmang suddenly felt wronged: "Come and save me."
An Fusheng asked anxiously, "What happened? Where are you?"
Tears welled up in her eyes instantly: "At school, my homeroom teacher took away my badges, boohoo~"
...
An Fusheng told Wen Yue to turn off the order system, quickly prepared the dishes, took off his coat which was covered in cooking fumes, and said to Wen Yue, "If Aunt Lou asks me later, just say I went out on something!"
Wen Yue: "What's wrong?"
An Fusheng: "The teacher confiscated the entire bottle and wanted to contact the parents. She probably didn't want Wen's mother and Lou's mother to know, so she called me over."
Wen Yue quickly replied, "Okay."
An Fusheng had signed for Bai Mangmang many times and knew which class she was in. When they arrived at the school, the security guard confirmed with Bai Mangmang's homeroom teacher and then let her in.
It was class time, so An Fusheng didn't go to find Bai Mangmang, but went directly to Teacher Li's office.
