Generally, students bring some pickles, pickled beans and other sauerkraut from home. Families who feel sorry for their children may bring a few eggs and ask the canteen aunt to help cook them.
Xuemei dreamed last night that she would have an exam as soon as she returned to school the next day, so she dragged Qingya to read together today.
"Sister, I want to go out and play. I'm only in the first grade. I just need to finish my homework. Others haven't even done their homework. My third brother and youngest brother are still waiting for me." Qing Ya said unhappily.
"No, you should read what the teacher taught you before you go play. I know a place that has September Explosion bombs. I'll take you there to pick some tomorrow. Ruirui, Feifei, stop eavesdropping outside the door. Come in quickly. You two can read this picture book."

"Qingya, we just had an exam. Did you guys take it?"
"Sister, we took the test too. Luckily you let me study yesterday. Our teacher said we have to take the test papers home to show them to our parents tomorrow. By the way, sister, you said you would take me to..."
