Chapter 377: Support from a friend
An Guangyu’s wife, Li Shuya, knew that her husband was going to reward the children today, so she went out in the morning and bought half a rack of spareribs.
Before Huo Gaofei arrived at the An family’s house, he smelled the smell: “What a nice smell! Whose family stewed the spareribs?”
An Guangyu patted Huo Gaofei on the head: “You have a really good nose!”
Li Shuya saw that people were coming and asked everyone to come in and sit down.
Huo Gaofei handed the pheasant in his hand to Li Shuya: "Auntie, this is the pheasant that Jiaojiao caught, isn't it amazing?"
Li Shuya brought some fruit: "You guys eat some fruit first, the ribs will be ready after stewing for another 15 minutes, I'll make the pheasant for you tonight."
Huo Gaofei smacked his lips: "Thank you, Auntie."
Li Shuya went to the kitchen to look at the ribs, and listened to the laughter of her daughter and friends in the house, and a smile appeared on her face.
Because of her strong strength, my daughter has had no friends since she was a child.
Other parents dare not let their children play with their daughter, worried that their daughter's hands will be heavy and hurt their children.
It's the same at school.
Unexpectedly, my daughter was called by her husband to train with Fu Xingchen and the other two a month ago. After that, she had a smile on her face when she returned home.
An Jiaojiao put the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and Li Shuya's spare ribs were also out of the pot.
Huo Gaofei took the initiative to go to the kitchen to help serve the dishes and rice.
The An family is usually very quiet during meals, but today with these children around, there are more topics to talk about.
They all revolve around An Jiaojiao's strength.
It's not teasing, but envy.
For the first time, An Jiaojiao felt proud of her strength.
After dinner, An Guangyu said that they could go out today.
The three of them looked at him in unison.
Is that what they think?
Since they came to the institute, these people have never left the institute except for going out with the naughty boy today.
For young children, it must be uncomfortable to have their freedom restricted.
An Guangyu nodded.
...
The institute is not completely closed, and the staff and their families in the institute can go out.
Children of staff members, except those with special talents, children with ordinary qualifications have to go to schools outside.
Only students of the institute need to be approved to go out, and they must be accompanied by a special person before they can go out.
Because the schools in the institute are not open to the public, these selected children with special talents will become the best in a certain field in the future after special training and learning.
It is so strict to protect these children.
An Jiaojiao is studying in a school outside.
...
Li Shuyan walked in the market with her daughter in one hand and Fu Xingchen in the other. Lu Changjie and Huo Gaofei were in the middle, followed by An Guangyu and three team members.
Fu Xingchen saw a stall selling hair ties and hair clips, so he took An Jiaojiao over, picked up a butterfly hair clip, and compared it to An Jiaojiao's head: "This is beautiful, with fluttering wings. Wearing it on your head might attract butterflies." After
asking the stall owner for the price, Fu Xingchen bought four. Li Shuya wanted to pay, but Fu Xingchen refused, saying that this was a gift from him to An Jiaojiao.
It was the first time An Jiaojiao received a gift from a friend, so she was very happy. She and Fu Xingchen put the butterfly clips on each other's heads.
"Xingchen, it looks really good on you!"
"Jiaojiao looks good on her too!"
The two of them were flattering each other,
and then a discordant voice came: "Hey, a barbarian, trying to imitate others with flowers, it's scary."
Fu Xingchen looked back and saw a little girl about his age, looking at An Jiaojiao with a mocking look.
An Jiaojiao saw that it was her classmate Wang Qin, and obviously didn't want to argue with her, so she gently pulled Fu Xingchen and signaled her to leave.
Fu Xingchen patted her hands to comfort her, and said to Wang Qin: "Who are you? What qualifications do you have to criticize others?"
Wang Qin said: "You probably don't know what kind of person she is. I am her classmate and know her best. You should stay away from her as soon as possible, otherwise you will be the one who suffers."
"Jiaojiao is such a beautiful and lovely girl, why should I stay away from her? It's people like you who slander others and stir up discord. If I meet you, I don't want to get close to you. Please stay away from us, your mouth stinks."
"You..."
"What are you talking about? If you want to buy something, do it now. If you don't want to buy anything, don't let it affect our shopping mood."
Her mother was standing behind Wang Qin, with an obviously unhappy look on her face. She said to Fu Xingchen, "Why are you so mean, kid? My daughter just met a classmate and said something jokingly. Why do you have to be so sarcastic?"
Fu Xingchen said, "You think I am sarcastic when I say this to your daughter. Why didn't you say anything to stop your daughter from making fun of Jiaojiao just now?"
"Children should handle their own affairs. It's not appropriate for me, an adult, to get involved."
Fu Xingchen asked back, "Then what do you call your current behavior?"
Wang Qin's mother was speechless and looked at Li Shuya, "Control your children."
Li Shuya said, "My daughter didn't say a word."
Then Li Shuya picked up the colorful hairbands on the stall and asked, "Jiaojiao, Xingchen, do you like these?"
The two nodded.
Li Shuya bought them.
Wang Qin saw that Li Shuya bought so many colorful hair ties and said jealously: "Friends bought with gifts won't last long."
Fu Xingchen looked at her unhappily and said: "So friends can be bought, then I must buy Jiaojiao well."
He picked up one of the hairpins on the stall: "Jiaojiao, do you like this?"
An Jiaojiao knew that Fu Xingchen was speaking up for her and nodded in agreement.
Fu Xingchen continued to point to the various hairpins for girls on the stall: "I like all of these. It's rare for me to come out, so I bought them all, one for each of us."
The stall owner was seldom met with such children who were willing to spend money. He glanced at Li Shuya and saw that she had no objection. He took a piece of beautiful flower paper and wrapped up everything Fu Xingchen pointed out.
Li Shuya was about to pay when Huo Gaofei ran over with candied haws and sugar-roasted chestnuts in his hands and put the candied haws to An Jiaojiao's mouth: "Jiaojiao, the candied haws are so sweet. The biggest one is for you."
An Jiaojiao bit off a candied haw and said happily: "It's delicious!"
Huo Gaofei came over after hearing Wang Qin talking about An Jiaojiao. He deliberately asked An Jiaojiao: "Who is this person with a mouth as big as a frog?"
Lu Changjie also came over with a lot of food and toys in his hands, and let An Jiaojiao and Fu Xingchen choose what they liked.
Seeing An Jiaojiao, who usually had no friends, suddenly had three more friends around her. The fat boy even made fun of her, and Wang Qin was so angry that she almost cried.
Wang Qin's mother wanted to speak up for her daughter, but at this time, An Guangyu came over and paid the money to the stall owner.
Wang Qin's mother recognized An Jiaojiao's father. There were three other strong men surrounding these children, staring at her with cold eyes, which scared Wang Qin's mother so much that she pulled her daughter away quickly.
An Jiaojiao felt for the first time that she was protected by her friends, and she sincerely thanked the three people.
