"Hey! You're so young, yet you already care about saving face. Do you even know what face is?"
Yue Jiuyue was quite curious, wondering if she really understood what "face" meant, or if she had just heard it a lot and was just imitating others.
"Hmph! How could I not understand!"
The little girl crossed her arms in front of her chest, pouted proudly, and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.
She was indeed in a state of half-understanding, but she understood that when the maid carried her to class this morning, the classmates laughed and teased her, making her blush and feel quite embarrassed. She felt that she must have lost face.
Just now, Yue Jiuyue's laughter was similar to that of her classmates this morning, making her feel a little embarrassed, yet she couldn't help but raise her chin.
"Little girl, do you think it's more embarrassing to be carried to school by the maid this morning, or to have worse grades than others at the end of last year?"
Yue Jiuyue didn't know how to discipline children, so she never really cared about Xiaoman'er, fearing that she might accidentally lead the child astray and she would be utterly wicked.
Anyway, with her parents taking care of the child and a teacher to teach him, she was completely at ease.
"Well, of course it's more embarrassing to do poorly on the test."
There's no need to ask that question anymore. It's over now that it's out this morning. But Xiaoman is still waiting to redeem herself from that exam last winter!
As for this morning, she was just worried because she suddenly saw that Yue Jiuyue had a stiff neck. Plus, she was tired and annoyed from school all day, so she suddenly had a whim to rest for a day. She had completely forgotten the humiliation at the end of last year, otherwise she would never have said that.
How could she not want to go to class? She was even thinking of getting first place at the end of the year to redeem herself!
"So, those were all minor matters this morning, no need to worry about them."
Yue Jiuyue spoke lightly, since she wasn't the one who was embarrassed; in fact, she had found it amusing and entertaining.
However, if Xiaoman really stops caring about those things and becomes more thick-skinned, that would be a good thing.
Thick-skinned, eat your fill!
No one is born with a thick skin; it's something that's developed little by little. Take Yue Jiuyue, for example. She's still not thick-skinned enough. Otherwise, she could easily find an excuse to leave when surrounded by people, instead of having to smile and be polite every time before finally finding a chance to leave.
"Okay, then I'll go back and review what I've learned before, and try to get first place by the end of this year!"
After shouting the slogan, Xiaoman ran off with her crossbody bag on her back.
Yue Jiuyue watched the small figure running, the little topknot on her head swaying back and forth, so lively and cute, she was so envious!
At her age, she can't jump around like that anymore. This might be because she's usually too lazy. Should we get the elderly folks in the village to join her in square dancing?
Shaking her head, Yue Jiuyue felt that this idea was somewhat unreliable.
They work in the fields from morning till night, rarely having a moment to rest. They also have to take care of the household chores, such as cleaning, washing clothes, and cooking a good meal. They don't even have time to lie down for a while, let alone have time to dance.
Not to mention that the elderly men and women in the village didn't have the time, Yue Jiuyue was also too lazy to move.
That's just how people are. They're always busy, but when they suddenly have free time, they feel restless and uncomfortable.
But for someone like Yue Jiuyue, who has always been lazy and lethargic, getting her to suddenly get moving is harder than climbing to heaven.
Unless, like some time ago, she suddenly wanted to learn to draw and became very interested in it, which is why she persisted.
Well, at least it lasted for half a month.
Actually, if Mr. Huang hadn't painted different scenes every day, and if his paintings hadn't been so beautiful, Yue Jiuyue might not have been able to persevere for so long.
Thinking of Mr. Huang, and how accurate he was at predicting the weather, Yue Jiuyue suddenly felt like asking him something.
Thinking of something, Yue Jiuyue immediately took a step and walked out.
The maid who was guarding behind her was stunned when Yue Jiuyue left without a word. She quickly jogged after her, but her legs were a little weak from standing for so long that she almost stumbled.
Hearing something amiss in the voice behind her, Yue Jiuyue turned around, blinked, and wondered if it was really that shortly after the New Year. Why was she being given such a grand ceremony? Should she also receive a red envelope?
The little maid, who had finally managed to stop herself, looked up and saw Yue Jiuyue looking at her, and her face turned bright red.
Yue Jiuyue raised an eyebrow. If she were a handsome young man, the maid's blushing could be explained as the release of dopamine, making the little girl's heart beat faster.
But she's an old woman...
Well, another shy little girl. She just stumbled and blushed...
Well, thinking back to when she was a little maid, she was either busy studying or doing part-time jobs. It seems she really didn't have time to look at handsome guys. She did blush quite a few times, but that was because she was scolded by her temporary boss.
Huang Banxian still lives in the servants' quarters that were built before, which is a collective dormitory. However, he lives in a single room, and he chose the one closest to the old house so that it is convenient for him to go to the old house for meals every day.
If it weren't for the fact that there was no one to cook on Dongling, he would actually prefer to live on Dongling, so he wouldn't have to make several trips every day to attend meetings.
Yeah, she's a lazy person too.
It's said that birds of a feather flock together. Mr. Huang and Yue Jiuyue are both incredibly lazy, but Mr. Huang still needs Yue Jiuyue to feed him, so he has to be more diligent than Yue Jiuyue.
When Yue Jiuyue went downstairs, Mr. Huang was sitting at the dining table drinking tea and waiting for his meal.
