Chapter 272: Not Active in Eating, Something’s Wrong with Your Brain
Zhang Shun looked at Baoya blinking her eyes with a serious expression, and finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"That's right," Baoya looked at the slightly raised corner of his mouth and curled her eyes, "Brother Zhang Shun, you should smile more often, then the bad luck will fly away."
"Yeah." Zhang Shun nodded vigorously.
He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had laughed so sincerely.
The childhood of children from poor families is mostly filled with tears and sadness. Ever since he can remember, he has been helping adults with work.
He has three brothers and sisters, and his parents have always wanted to support his education. His father worked in many places before finally settling in Yinkelai.
The big restaurant was the place where customers were invited, and the wages paid were higher than in other small places. My father suffered all kinds of bullying and contempt there, but he endured it all for the money to pay for his studies.
Usually when he went to the restaurant to help out, Xu Jiaojiao's bullying of him had become commonplace, so his obedience and fear of Xu Jiaojiao were engraved in his bones.
Even though he is a strong boy, even though he is thirteen years old this year, several years older than Xu Jiaojiao.
"A man of poverty can be ambitious, Zhang Shun, you must study hard."
Qi Mo looked at this heartwarming scene, and his voice softened unconsciously: "If you can get a job in the future, you can support this family, protect your family, and never be bullied again."
"Yes!" Zhang Shun clenched his fists, "Mr. Xiao Qi, I will definitely study hard!"
After driving away the bad apple Xu Jiaojiao, the atmosphere in the Enlightenment Hall suddenly became much more harmonious.
Qi Mo stood in the front teaching, feeling very happy. Looking at the children below who were shaking their heads and following him in their lessons, he inexplicably felt that they were more well-behaved and cute.
The warm reading time passed in a flash. Qi Mo glanced at the rising sun outside, closed the book, and announced the end of class for lunch.
As soon as he stepped out of the Enlightenment Hall, the children in the room all breathed a sigh of relief.
Qi Mo is serious about his work. Although he seems gentle when interacting with others in daily life, he is very strict in class.
Baoya and the other children sat up straight, even the lively and active Yunyue became well-behaved.
"Baoya, was Xu Jiaojiao kicked out by Mr. Xiao Qi? She probably won't come back." Yun Yue looked at the empty seat behind her, still a little bit unbelieving.
Thinking back to Mr. Xiao Qi's gloomy expression just now, Bao Ya nodded: "Probably not."
"Huh..." Yunyue patted her chest, "That's good, that's good."
"But she's really capable, and it's only the second day of classes."
"Delicate flowers are easily broken, afraid of being worn out by wind and rain. With her personality, she is only suitable to be pampered at home. Once she steps out of this threshold, she will sooner or later be broken."
Suddenly, a clear but slightly childish voice came from the side.
Baoya, Yunhua and Yunyue looked over when they heard the voice and saw Fang Xian with a calm expression as he was about to turn around.
Yunyue was surprised: "So you were listening to us. I thought you were so engrossed in your book that you didn't know anything."
Fang Xian gave her a cold look and said, "I'm just concentrating on my book, I'm not deaf."
"Tsk." Yunyue rolled her eyes at him and ignored him.
Nerd, no wonder Mr. Xiao Qi needs to remind you to eat lunch!
"Baoya, Third Sister, let's go eat quickly. Big brother is waiting for us." Yunyue said.
"Okay." Yunhua agreed.
Baoya was still rummaging through her little book basket. She hadn't eaten the snacks she brought yesterday yet. She wanted to take them to the cafeteria later and share them with her elder brother and the others.
I said, "Wait for me, I'll bring some snacks and dried fruits."
"Then let's go to the yard and wait for you." Yunyue said, and then pulled Yunhua away first.
Baoya took out the snacks, dried fruits and candies from the school basket, put them in a paper bag used for snacks, and held them in her arms.
She walked out with her short legs, and suddenly Fang Xian's voice came from behind her.
"I didn't expect you to be so brave at such a young age."
He was talking about what happened when Baoya stood up for Zhang Shun just now.
Baoya blinked: "Really? I just don't like Xu Jiaojiao bullying others."
"Yeah." Fang Xian responded lightly, turned his head back and continued to read.
Baoya's eyes widened immediately. She felt that Fang Xian must have some problem with his brain. Maybe he really became stupid because of reading too much.
No matter how good a book is, it won’t make you full. Isn’t Fang Xian hungry?
"Well..." She hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's noon, aren't you going to eat?"
The words startled the reader. Fang Xian looked up and said with a look of sudden realization, "Oh, it turns out it's already this time."
Baoya: ...
"Are you going to the cafeteria?"
"Yeah." Fang Xian nodded. "I can't always trouble Mr. Xiao Qi to deliver it every day."
That's right, Baoya said: "Then let's go."
The two of them walked out together. When they passed by Zhang Shun and Lin Huarong's seats, they saw that they were still packing their things.
Baoya asked, "Brother Zhang Shun, Lin...um, Young Master Lin, would you like to have dinner together?"
For some reason, when she saw Lin Huarong, who was fat and had a greasy face at such a young age, she couldn't call him "brother".
Lin Huarong finally found a bag of candied fruits stuffed at the bottom of the book basket. There were four or five of them in total.
He stuffed it all into his mouth, chewing with his cheeks bulging, and his mouth was full of honey.
"Well... I, Feijia... brew..."
The family is making braised pork ribs and rabbit legs in brown sauce today, and he can't miss it.
Baoya turned her gaze to Zhang Shun again, but Zhang Shun looked embarrassed.
"I...I'll go home and eat too."
He was different from Baoya and the others. He did not pay food rations to the academy, so he could not go to the cafeteria.
Baoya seemed to see through his thoughts and weighed the paper bag full of snacks and dried fruits in her arms.
Said: "Let's go together, I brought a lot of delicious food, just once."
Zhang Shun looked at her rosy little face, her pair of grape-like eyes full of anticipation, and he really couldn't bear to refuse.
"All right."
Seeing that Zhang Shun agreed, the three of them walked out together.
Lin Huarong, who was left behind, could not sit still. He did not care about the delicious food Baoya mentioned. He had eaten those snacks and dried fruits every day and was already tired of them.
However, there were only six students in the Enlightenment Hall right now, and five of them had gone to eat together. He didn't want to be alone, as that would make him feel excluded.
"Me! I'm going too! Wait a minute!"
Wiping the honey off his lips, Lin Huarong followed Zhang Shun out.
Baoya took the three boys out of the Qiuzhi Hall and saw her eldest brother and the others waiting outside, so they went to the cafeteria together.
I don’t know if it was because the mother-in-law who served the food saw that Baoya and the other three little girls were so cute, so she gave them some extra vegetables when she served them. Even Zhang Shun had no objection when he came to eat.
The canteen made vegetable buns, stir-fried bok choy, and bok choy soup today, and Baoya and the others all thought they tasted good.
Faced with a pile of green things on the table, Lin Huarong was worried.
