Chapter 105: A little panicked, but actually obeyed
The next morning.
Boom boom boom, boom boom boom.
There was a knock on the door, and Jiang Tang had already gotten Chaochao and Yueyue up. Because Fu Sinian was not at home, the task of getting up early fell entirely on her. Fortunately, the two kids were not noisy, and only Yueyue stayed in bed a little longer. Chaochao was more active in getting up early than she, an adult.
So when there was a knock on the door, Chaochao and Yueyue took their small toothbrushes and brushed their teeth, rinsed their mouths, and washed their faces and hands in the yard.
After hearing the sound, the two cubs wanted to look up, but were stopped by Jiang Tang.
"You guys continue brushing your teeth, I'll go open the door."
When Jiang Tang opened the door, he thought it was Mrs. Ding from next door, or Zhao Xiumei and her children, but when he opened the door, he saw no one.
When he looked down again, he finally saw a child - it was Lei Xiaobing.
Lei Xiaobing was wearing exceptionally clean clothes today, not wrinkled or dirty, and his shoes were free of mud. He was completely different from the carefree little boy he was yesterday.
After meeting Jiang Tang, he greeted Jiang Tang politely and seriously.
"Aunt Jiang, good morning. As agreed yesterday, I would go to school with Chao Chao and Yue Yue. Here I am."
Jiang Tang looked at the time. It was too early. There was still at least an hour and a half before she had to go to the Yuhong class. However, Lei Xiaobing looked at her with his bright and shining eyes, which made it impossible to refuse.
So today we can only let Lei Xiaobing come in first.
She asked, "Xiaobing, where are your parents?"
Lei Xiaobing walked into the yard and looked around like a little adult. His eyes finally fell on Chaochao and Yueyue, while he did not forget to answer Jiang Tang's questions.
"Aunt Jiang, my parents are very busy people. They have a lot to do. Last night, someone was looking for Lao Lei... that was my dad. He went out in the middle of the night. My mom went to the nearby village early in the morning. They don't have time to take care of me. I can take care of myself."
Jiang Tang thought, it is indeed so.
If there were adults at Lei Xiaobing's home, they would not let him go out so early.
Jiang Tang didn't dislike this smart and overly lively child. She smiled gently and asked Lei Xiaobing, "Xiaobing, have you had breakfast? Chaochao and Yueyue haven't had breakfast yet. They need to have breakfast before they can go to the Yuhong class."
"Aunt Jiang, can I have breakfast at your house?" Lei Xiaobing opened his schoolbag and showed it to Jiang Tang. "Aunt Jiang, don't worry. I won't eat your rations. My mother said that every household has enough food, and I can't take advantage of others, otherwise I'll be hated. So I brought eggs and steamed buns. Just give me a stool and let me eat with you."
Jiang Tang almost laughed out loud when he heard this.
She touched Lei Xiaobing's head and said, "Of course you can eat together. Not only will I give you a stool, I'll even give you breakfast. You're so young, how much food can you eat? Aunt Jiang is not afraid of you eating too much. We're having pumpkin porridge for breakfast today, do you want some?"
"Eat! Aunt Jiang, you're such a kind person!" Lei Xiaobing thanked Jiang Tang while showing his schoolbag to Yueyue. "Yueyue, look! I have eggs! Aunt Jiang invited me to eat pumpkin porridge, so I'll...give...give it to you. Here are my eggs for you to eat."
Chao Chao reminded from the side, "It's a matter of reciprocity."
"Yes, yes, it's a courtesy." Lei Xiaobing nodded vigorously. "My eggs are for you to eat."
Yueyue said, "I have eggs. My mother gives me eggs every day."
Lei Xiaobing said, "You can have two. Aunt Jiang will give you one, and I'll give you mine too."
Yueyue pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and finally... nodded.
Who made her a little foodie?
Now both children were happy. Lei Xiaobing patted his schoolbag and said, "It's a deal then. Almost all my eggs will be yours."
What, what do you mean?
Yueyue and Chaochao didn't know what Lei Xiaobing was thinking at this time.
They first saw Lei Xiaobing's dirty hands, and just as Lei Xiaobing was about to walk into the house, he was pulled back by Chao Chao.
Chao Chao acted more like an older brother and said seriously, "Xiaobing, wash your hands before eating."
Yueyue pointed to the soap beside her and said, "Wash your hands. Use soap and rinse with water. Wash twice. Mom taught me that. You must wash your hands before eating. This way you can keep them clean, and if you keep them clean you won't get a stomachache."
Lei Xiaobing has a carefree personality, and I originally thought that he has always eaten like this, so he won't get sick even if he doesn't absorb the food.
But Chaochao and Yueyue had the same beautiful big eyes, staring at Lei Xiaobing from the left and right.
Lei Xiaobing, who had never been fearless, somehow... felt a little panicked and actually obeyed.
Then, there was the sound of splashing water.
Chao Chao poured water for Lei Xiaobing, who squatted beside the basin to drink it. Yueyue muttered to the side, "Apply soap... apply soap... between your fingers... my mother said that you should wash your fingers too... and the back of your hands..."
Lei Xiaobing spent a full five minutes just washing his hands. He only used a towel to wash his face and that was it. It took him five minutes to wash his hands.
Lei Xiaobing looked at his hands and shook his head helplessly.
But at this moment, Yueyue, who was standing by to supervise him, suddenly came over and smelled his hand.
Yueyue said, "It smells like soap. Wash it clean. Come on, let's go eat."
“Eh—”
Lei Xiaobing's mouth was chattering, and for the first time he couldn't keep up with what was happening in front of him. Yueyue and Chaochao were already walking into the house hand in hand in front of him.
He lowered his head and smelled the palm of his hand.
It really smells like soap, very fragrant.
Jiang Tang's voice came from the room, "Little soldier, come in and eat."
That morning, Lei Xiaobing drank three bowls of pumpkin porridge in one breath. He gave his egg to Yueyue, but Jiang Tang gave him another egg. He mashed the egg and added it to the pumpkin porridge, which had a light yellow taste and became more delicious.
It's amazing!
After breakfast, Chaochao had his compulsory course, which was to start exercising according to what Fu Sinian taught him, practicing leg exercises and boxing.
Lei Xiaobing said he wanted to join in, and Jiang Tang initially thought he was just going to follow along and do the moves, but he didn't expect Lei Xiaobing to actually be able to do it, and he did the moves so well that he could even teach Chao Chao.
Chaochao couldn't believe it. How could the seemingly nonchalant Lei Xiaobing do this?
Jiang Tang asked him, "Xiaobing, when did you learn this? Did Political Commissar Lei teach you?"
Lei Xiaobing raised his chin and said, "Old Lei didn't have time to teach me these. I learned them when I was four years old, leaning over the wall to peek at the military camp training ground. I just learned them by watching."
When Jiang Tang heard this, he was shocked to realize that Lei Xiaobing was no ordinary kid.
Chao Chao looked at Lei Xiaobing seriously for the first time. He... wasn't completely useless.
