Chapter 124
The paper did not attract any extra attention.
Jiang Yunu is just a student who has not yet graduated from the primary supernatural school and has not even touched the door frame of the advanced supernatural school. Why should she pay attention to such third-rate information that looks like a small advertisement?
In the last week of winter vacation, Jiang Yunu officially and completely moved into the Qiao family.
To this end, their family held a small housewarming party.
Holding a housewarming party at the Qiao family seems like some kind of cheesy joke.
Although there were only three people attending the party, it was still considered a family dinner and was treated with great respect by Jodaisy and Joyson.
"After you finish the new semester and pass the entrance exam, before you go to a school farther away."
In the middle of dinner, Jodie knocked the goblets on the edge of the table - Joyson had dug them out from somewhere, and when she found them, the red-haired lady was surprised that she had such things in her house.
Then they were naturally used at family dinners.
The sound of a goblet knocking against the edge of the table caught the attention of the two children who were busy eating. Then Aunt Daisy continued, "When the time comes, we'll invite Xiaonu's teachers and friends to hold a larger celebration party together."
Jiang Yunu didn't expect that Aunt Dai Si thought so far for her that she even started considering the graduation banquet.
The white-haired girl asked, "Auntie, do you know an old saying?"
"Hmm?" Qiao Daisi first responded to Jiang Yunu in a monosyllable. Then, she said sharply, "I don't know, but the way you start makes me feel that you have nothing good to say."
Jiang Yunu immediately put on a pitiful face as if he had been wronged, but while saying how could it be so, he threw out that "old saying" -
“Don’t pop the champagne mid-trip!”
Starting to celebrate an unfinished task in advance is likely to lead to failure, and the beautiful vision will die at the moment when it is most likely to be realized.
——So there really is nothing good to say!
"Little crow mouth." Qiao Daisi, sitting opposite, pointed at Jiang Yunu and said, "Your hair is so white, how come you look like a little crow spirit?"
"Bleached it." Joyson said from the side, his nonsensical response earned him another glare from his mother.
Joyson immediately said, "Pfft! I'll spit out Xiao Jiang's unlucky remarks. She's definitely not popping champagne mid-sentence. We're just planning something that's bound to happen!"
The red-haired lady's expression finally improved, and she glanced at Jiang Yunu with a mixture of anger and amusement.
"Book a restaurant then," Jodaisi said. "There's a good one near where I work. The food is excellent, the prices are reasonable, and the venue and decor are decent too."
There was a soft light in her eyes as she looked at Jiang Yunu and said as if promising: "I will definitely not let you embarrass yourself in front of teachers and friends."
Jiang Yunu was stunned.
Qiao Daisi had the good intention of throwing her a graduation party, already imagining what would happen if she successfully passed the entrance exam. She was no stranger to such events, and figured if she truly made it past the required grade, then throwing one would be perfectly acceptable—and if she did manage to skip a grade and get into a prestigious supernatural school, surely there would be a scholarship?!
With the bonus from the school, she could also pay for the banquet herself, so she wouldn't have to spend Aunt Daisy's hard-earned salary. It was a perfect plan!
But she didn't expect that Aunt Daisy wanted to hold a banquet in the restaurant because she was afraid that she would be embarrassed in front of her teachers and classmates.
"...Huh?" The white-haired girl said after a moment's pause, as if stunned by the news. "Do we have to go to the restaurant specifically?"
She looked very confused, as if she had never considered the option of "eating out" at all.
Qiao Yisen was confused. Just like a happy eating machine, his thoughts usually followed Jiang Yunu's. When he heard Jiang Yunu say that, he also said, "That's right, Mom, why are you still considering going to a restaurant? Can't we just do it at home?"
Well done!
Jiang Yunu cheered for the red-haired boy in his heart!
Joyson's unconscious cooperation made it easier for her to continue persuading him!
"Yes, we can do it at home." Jiang Yunu followed up, "Aunt Daisi, your cooking skills are better than in a restaurant. It's easy and comfortable to do it at home, and you can also have two versatile helpers that you can't find outside."
The "all-around helper" of course refers to her and Joyson.
Jiang Yunu could brazenly say that if Chat City had not banned child labor and had let her and Joyson go out to work, they would have been so successful that even the robots in the kitchen would have to sing "Conquer" for them.
Qiao Yisen nodded vigorously. "That's right, Mom, look at me and Xiao Jiang. With the two of us at home together, it's easy to host a banquet for 17 or 18 people!"
“…”
Qiao Daisi's eyes fell on Jiang Yunu's face. She seemed to be exploring, as if she wanted to know if there was a little girl who was too sensible.
She said, "There are still seventeen or eighteen people. If we really invite seventeen or eighteen people, do you think our house can accommodate them?"
Jiang Yunu said, "Don't worry, Auntie. I don't think there will be that many people to invite by then."
However, it is difficult to say whether Jiang Yunu's words can be regarded as a flag.
Finally, Jodie asked to confirm, "Do you really think it's fine to do it at home?"
The white-haired girl nodded. "Home is really great—where else could be better than home?"
Home is leisurely and relaxing, where you can pay less attention to superficial forms and can confidently show your truer self to those who are worthy of being invited.
Jiang Yunu had never even looked down on the small "refugee site-style" nest across the street. She would never think it was shameful to invite people to the Qiao family's small building.
Jodie understood her intention.
In short, Qiao Daisi's idea of booking a restaurant outside to hold a banquet was persuaded by her two children. What she cared about most was Jiang Yunuo's opinion. Seeing that Jiang Yunuo really didn't care about these formalities, she no longer insisted on spending unnecessary money.
The worst that can happen is that the small building will be a little crowded and noisy, and the guests may not have enough space to sit!
At the tail end of this winter vacation, Qiao Jia Xiaolou made an appointment in advance for a banquet for relatives and friends six months later.
A week later, the winter vacation was over without any regrets.
Jiang Yunu and Qiao Yisen return to school.
The two of them are entering the second semester of their first grade and the last semester of their fourth grade respectively.
“It’s so weird.”
Standing inside the gate of Enge Primary School for Special Abilities, Joyson looked at the main teaching building not far away, then looked at Jiang Yunu who was close at hand, and then glanced at the report information on their personal terminals that already had the grade difference. He said this sincerely.
Jiang Yunu was looking through the message Zhou Jinxue had just sent her - the senior student had also arrived at school and would be in the dormitory area with her family.
Zhou Jinxue said that her family was about to leave, and after she sent them away, she would come to find Jiang Yunu to have lunch together.
Joyson continued, "I have a particularly strong sense of unreality right now. Looking at the reports about the two of us, it feels like one of us has traveled through time."
The red-haired boy gave two examples of time-travel scenarios: "I woke up and found myself four years later" and "My sister four years later suddenly appeared next to me."
The reference range came from the third-rate novels he secretly read in large quantities during the holidays.
Jiang Yunu replied to Zhou Jinxue with an emoji that said "Puppy says everything is OK" and spun along, "Yeah, that's right, you finally figured it out. You actually traveled through time, and now the person next to you is Jiang Yunu from four years later—do you know how Aunt Daisy and I have been spending these past four years?"
The tone was one of questioning, but the white-haired girl performed it without any sincerity, like a human-machine trying hard to imitate a human.
As a result, Joyson did not cooperate with her and continued acting.
"Impossible." The red-haired boy shook his head, his tone mysterious. "I know we are still on the same timeline because I hold the most important evidence."
Jiang Yunu felt that her senior sister seemed to be offline for the time being. There was no immediate pop-up message from the other party. She closed the window and asked Qiao Yisen: "What is the evidence?"
Joyson raised two fingers and placed them between his eyebrows.
He said very profoundly and pretended to be profound: "The proof is you yourself - it's impossible that my sister hasn't grown at all in four years!"
“…”
Jiang Yunu was speechless and rolled her eyes, which were as white as her hair.
Joyson had the foresight to move away at an arm's length, shaking his head. This was the perfect distance to say, "You can't hit me, right?"
But Jiang Yunu still has legs.
And the legs are longer than the arms.
Jiang Yunu raised her leg and was hit by her brother. Her brother immediately pretended to be weak and unable to take care of himself, and fell to the side of the landscape flower bed.
At this moment, Zhou Jinxue's voice suddenly rang out.
"Xiao Jiang."
The senior sister's calm and cold voice had an excellent effect in ending the acting addiction, causing Jiang Yunuo to stop acting with Qiao Yisen instantly, and Qiao Yisen also straightened his waist and stood up straight.
Jiang Yunu turned to look in the direction of the voice, but before he could even finish his look, the voice came over: "Hey, Senior!"
When Jiang Yunu turned her head completely, she bit her tongue quickly to say the next sentence, "Have you sent all your family members away?"
——There were two adults standing next to Zhou Jinxue, one man and one woman, both dressed elegantly.
They all look more than 50% similar to Zhou Jinxue, and you can tell at a glance that they are related by blood.
She certainly couldn't "report" on the spot that her senior had just said she wanted to "get rid of" the two of them.
"Hello." Jiang Yunu naturally smiled as if facing an elder.
Joyson was a little reserved, and his expression gradually became dull after he found out there were strangers, turning from a dramatic and smooth person into a "slightly aloof" person.
The two adults were primarily looking at Jiang Yunu, their gazes filled with scrutiny. The woman's gaze was softer, and she returned Jiang Yunu's smile, while the man's was more serious, as if he wanted to see through him.
But Jiang Yunu was never afraid of such overly direct gazes.
She stood there calmly.
"Hello." The lady who looked very similar to Zhou Jinxue said politely. She smiled and said, "Thanks for your care for our Xiaoxue at school."
