Two Birds with One Stone (2)
Jiang Xiumei was stunned. After she heard that, she put Jiang Xiaoman on her lap while repeatedly cooing, âMy dear baby.â
âPa! Pa! Pa!â
Xiaoman got another spanking.
âWah wah wah...Grandma doesnât love me anymore...Wah wah wah!â
âYouâre so amazing, huh? Jiang Xiaoman?!â Jiang Xiumei said, âIf you dare not go to school, I will throw you from the second floor!â
âUncle also said the same thing! Youâre all so horrible!â Jiang Xiaoman was still struggling.
Jiang Xing immediately corrected her. âI said I was going to jump myself!â
The child was crying so miserably Jiang Xiumei couldnât bear spanking her anymore, so she put her back down.
Studying was imperative, no matter how much Xiaoman resisted it.
Jiang Xiumei thought about it for a while and thought that it might have been her fault.
No other kids would bring them!
Why did she have to bring green onions, water chestnuts, and celeries to school?!
Green onions could still be eaten raw for breakfast, but did she also have to eat the celeries raw? Even if Yu Qingshi was a good kid, surely he wouldnât help her this time?
Jiang Xiaoman was very sad.
She thought about it all night and knew that she still had to go to school.
She didnât want to be thrown down from the second floor by Grandma, she didnât want Uncle to jump down from the second floor, and she didnât want Teacher Tang to think that she was a child who could not persevere.
Haah...what should she do now? Not only did she have to go to school, but she also had to bring celery with her.
Celery was so conspicuous, just like green onions. You couldnât hide them secretly.
Jiang Xiaoman was dying from stress.
She thought about it all night.
Xiaoman asked the system to wake her up very, very early the next day.
She took the bunch of celery and went to the breakfast shop at the edge of the alley. She stared at the owner of the breakfast shop without saying anything. She just kept staring and staring at him.
Footnote:
1. Green onions and chestnuts rhyme with smart/clever. Celery rhymes with diligence. As you could already tell, Jiang Xiumei is very superstitious.
