The day Jiang Zhiyi entered school happened to be Qingming Festival, and it was raining heavily early in the morning. Su Yuanyuan watched Xiao Douding eating breakfast obediently, so she took an oil-paper umbrella and planned to send him to school in person.
Although Su Yuanyuan thought from the bottom of her heart that boys should not be too spoiled, what if they got used to becoming a slut like Li San?
But today was the first day of school, so it had a different meaning. Su Yuanyuan knelt down to adjust Little Douding's black gauze coat, gently pulled away the wrinkles on the clothes, and specially stroked Little Douding's shoulders.
Xiao Douding doesn’t look much like Jiang Wenzheng. Jiang Wenzheng has long, deep eyes and black eyebrows. His eyes are cold when he looks at people. He looks very much like the affectionate male lead in the TV series. But Xiao Douding has a pair of pink and phoenix eyes.
She has very light eyebrows, a chubby face, and a pink nose that is tall and straight when she is only five or six years old. When she calls her mother with a smile, she grins, giving her a rather romantic charm.
Su Yuanyuan once comforted herself that the child was still young, so it must have not grown, and it would be fine when it got older.
She held Little Dou Ding in one hand and held an oil-paper umbrella in the other, walking in the green brick alley that was wet by the rain.
It was misty and rainy, and there were only a few pedestrians on the street. They were either walking in a hurry in their raincoats or walking slowly with paper umbrellas. Even the street vendors had lost their former enthusiasm and hid under the tarpaulin when there was no business.
Take some time off.
Passing by a stall selling sugar pastry cakes, Ayi licked his small mouth and held Su Yuanyuan's hand, not wanting to go forward.
When Su Yuanyuan still lived in Wangjia Village, she would come to the city to buy New Year's goods. She would see children who came with adults and couldn't walk when they saw the delicious food. They would drag their hooves like little donkeys and would not leave no matter how hard they tried to persuade them.
Adults usually love their children and will eventually save some from other places to buy snacks for their children to satisfy their cravings.
The vendor sitting nearby saw Jiang Zhiyi stop, quickly stood up, took a paper bag, and handed it to Su Yuanyuan.
"The sugar shortcakes that have just come out of the pan are filled with sugar filling every time you bite them. How many do you plan to weigh?"
He saw that Su Yuanyuan was wearing a fine cotton skirt, and the girdle on her waist was sewn with plain brocade cloth, and there was also a jade hook hanging on it. At first glance, she didn't look like the country woman who hesitated for a long time when buying a sugar pastry.
.
Ayi is usually very good and has never asked Su Yuanyuan for anything. Today is the first time. Su Yuanyuan is a little excited inside. My Zaizai will also act coquettishly and ask for things! Isn't this just a sign of her gradually becoming dependent on her?
Show it!
As soon as he let go of Xiao Douding's hand and was about to dig into his pocket, Xiao Douding stretched out his fleshy little hand and made a "yeah" gesture, and said to the hawker in a serious voice, "Boss, give me two! Both of them."
Add honey, and add soybean flour separately."
The vendor was stunned. The little boy in front of him was young. He was wearing a plain white schoolboy's uniform. The black gauze coat outside was a little big and baggy. He was as white and tender as a porcelain doll, but he spoke like an expert.
"okay!"
The vendor skillfully loaded the sugar-flavored biscuits, while Xiao Douding rummaged through the schoolbag Su Yuanyuan had sewn for herself and found six copper coins, then put the coins on the wooden board with her little toes raised.
The sugar shortbread has just been fried, wrapped in oil paper and steaming constantly. It is the most stomach-warming thing to eat on such a cold and rainy day.
Xiao Douding took the two pancakes and looked at them. After distinguishing them clearly, he handed the pancake sprinkled with bean flour into Su Yuanyuan's hand.
"Mom, this is sprinkled with soy flour, eat it while it's hot!"
Su Yuanyuan's hand holding the sugar pastry stiffened slightly. Was she invited by her own son?
Didn't he buy it for himself?
"Baby, are you inviting me to eat?"
Xiao Douding put another piece of sugar pastry into his schoolbag and patted it with his hand, as if he valued it very much.
He pursed his lips tightly, hummed briskly, and slowly explained to Su Yuanyuan, "My mother only cooked for me today and didn't even have breakfast."
So when he passed the sugar pastry stall, Xiao Douding stopped and bought two cakes with the pocket money Su Yuanyuan gave him.
Countless little pink flowers bloomed in Su Yuanyuan's heart. It turns out that this is the feeling of being "kept" by someone. It feels really good to be treated by one's own son!
The journey to the school takes about fifteen to twenty minutes. Su Yuanyuan walks quickly and takes long steps. For fear of being late on the first day of school and leaving a bad impression on the teacher, Xiao Douding has no choice but to walk slowly.
Her short legs kept up with Su Yuanyuan's pace.
The school is located at the head of Shuren Street in Xishi City, in a large courtyard covering an area of less than one hectare. There is a row of willow trees in front of the door. There is a gilt plaque on the door with the four characters "Shuren Academy" written on it.
Ancient schools, like modern primary schools, admitted students in two quarters each year, with Qingming Festival being the first quarter and Double Ninth Festival being the second quarter.
Su Yuanyuan originally thought that this place was far away from the center of the city, and the school conditions were not as good as Yuejian School in the south of the city, so there would be fewer students to sign up. However, as soon as she turned into Shuren Street, Su Yuanyuan saw oil-paper umbrellas crowded one after another.
Together, the primary school children were all wearing plain white school uniforms and were waiting in front of Shuren Academy, held by their adults. Su Yuanyuan only felt that the scene was a bit spectacular, quite similar to the crowded scene of parents picking up their children in front of contemporary primary schools.
At this time, the gate of the academy has not yet opened. Parents with their children gathered together in twos and threes to chat. Some ladies were dressed up in colorful clothes, with their hair covered with dazzling hairpins. They were chatting and laughing, as if they were shaking.
Today I am not here to send my children to school, but to compare their beauty.
There are also plainly dressed women who tell their children over and over again: listen to your master, work hard, and make progress. It is not easy for your mother to send you to study. The obedient children will nod solemnly and will not let you down.
My mother's hard work.
Su Yuanyuan stood under a willow tree, holding Little Douding's hands and looking at her toes helplessly.
Tsk, does she also need to give some advice?
But when she lowered her head and saw Jiang Zhiyi standing beside her quietly and obediently, Su Yuanyuan really couldn't think of what to ask her. Instead, Xiao Douding shook her hand and asked Su Yuanyuan in turn with a stern face.
"Mom, you should eat well when Ayi is not here, and don't eat too many snacks, otherwise you will gain weight and look unsightly! Also, don't eat things that are too cold, as it will cause diarrhea, and don't eat when picking Ayi up from school.
Walk too fast, it’s raining today, the road will be slippery..."
Su Yuanyuan bit her lower lip helplessly. Why did this kid talk so old-fashioned? Who did he learn it from?
"Ayi!"
A childish voice suddenly sounded. Su Yuanyuan and Xiao Douding raised their heads and looked over when they heard the sound. They saw Fu Yunkai wearing the same school uniform and holding Fu Yueming's little hand and trotting towards them. Fu Yueming was shorter and stumbled when he ran. Su Yuanyuan had round eyes.
They were all stuck to her short legs, for fear that she would accidentally fall.
Fortunately, with Fu Yunkai holding her hand, Fu Yueming staggered up to Su Yuanyuan.
