A Talk with Jiang Xing (2)

She moved her school bag and changed her seat, sitting down beside Yu Qingshi. She pushed the carton of milk to him, “Here, I bought it for you.”

Yu Qingshi glanced at the milk.

It was sticky, sour and sweet. He didn’t like it.

But he didn’t care!

Jiang Xiaoman thought for a while and asked, “Are you angry that I came on stage to speak? The teacher said that you could’ve gone up as well, but you’re such a boring gourd.”

Was he angry?

“No.”

Jiang Xiaoman asked him again. “Then why are you ignoring me?”

“I’m not ignoring you.”

Jiang Xiaoman curled her lips, “If you’re not ignoring me, then why are you not looking at me?”

When he heard those words, Yu Qingshi turned his head and looked at her without blinking, “Is this fine?”

“…” It’s fine if it’s not fine.

Why would she argue with him anyways?

An adult would not hold a child’s mistakes against them. Ye Jiajia said that even if boys got to junior high, they would still be awkward boys, and wouldn’t be as mature as her!

Jiang Xiaoman was also angry.

However, she was a magnanimous person, so she decided to only be angry for the duration of one class and forgave him when class was over.

The people around them already went quiet.

Yu Qingshi touched the box of strawberry milk with his hands, and could still vaguely feel a little bit of warmth.

He removed the straw, took a long sip, and said, “Thank you. I like it very much.”

“You’re welcome!”

Jiang Xiaoman was happy now, and decided to forgive him immediately.

–

The two reconciled, and when school was over, they went home together again.

Jiang Xing was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable when she entered junior high school for the first time, so he took the time to talk to her.

“Xiaoman, Uncle knows that you are smart and a hard worker, but junior high school is different from elementary school.”

Jiang Xing thought for a while, “If you feel tired or feel that it’s hard, don’t worry. You have to take it one step at a time. If you have any problems, you can talk to me about it, and we’ll find a solution together. There will always be more solutions than problems.”

The current Jiang Xing had already begun reading books about education.

For example, “What to Do During a Child’s Rebellious Period”, “How to Talk With Junior High Students as Equals”, “Careful Thinking in Unfamiliar Environments”, “Things About Children” etc etc.

There were so many of them in his office that his secretary asked him if he had gotten more children at home.

Where would he get children from? They were so busy that he had no time to even get a wife.

Worrying about Xiaoman already gave him enough headaches. Because she got first on the entrance exam to 6th Junior High, he was so happy that he gave everyone in the office red envelopes containing 666 Yuan¹. Even the cleaning service auntie and the security uncle got to share the happiness.

When she was in elementary school before, Jiang Xing was powerless and so busy his feet didn’t even get to touch the ground. Now that he had time to spare, he prioritized the child’s education.

The book said that junior high school was the time when children were most likely to rebel.

If he didn’t handle it well right now, it might affect her whole life!

He had to handle it well!

But Jiang Xing also felt that the stick was not suitable for children’s education nowadays.

Let’s not even talk about whether he could actually beat Jiang Xiaoman. Was it appropriate to beat a girl every day? He had thick skin and was resistant to beatings, so he wouldn’t be broken no matter what.

But girls were different, so he had to be careful.

But having said that, Xiaoman was a little too naughty.

Sigh.

Raising a child is difficult.

It was also difficult to teach them.

But Jiang Xiaoman never gave people reason to worry.

She blinked and said, “I’m fine, Uncle.”

“Is there really nothing you’re not used to?” Jiang Xing didn’t believe it.

“If there is any difference, it is probably that the textbooks are thicker than the elementary school’s, and there are more subjects to learn. Other than that, it seems that there is no difference.”

Jiang Xiaoman scratched her head and thought about it for a while, and then said, “The teachers are very kind, and the students are very enthusiastic. There is nothing wrong.”

After a pause, Jiang Xiaoman lowered her head and played with her fingers, “However, I looked through the textbook and found that the contents are really difficult.”

Difficult was good!

There was finally a place for Uncle to come into play!

Jiang Xing said immediately, “That’s okay, if it’s too difficult, just tell me. Uncle will find a teacher for you who will help you with your studies.”

“But I usually study with Yu Qingshi.”

“That’s different. It’s someone else’s teacher, you’re just hitching a ride.” Jiang Xing’s heart finally became warm, feeling that he was finally no longer just a side snack. He could finally spend effort and money for his niece! “Don’t worry, Uncle will find the most suitable home tutor for you, who would be responsible for you alone! Especially tutors for your cultural classes! In the future, you don’t need to go to Yu Qingshi’s, just study at home.”

Jiang Xiaoman hesitated for a while and nodded.

After all, there were a lot of subjects to learn. If she still went to trouble Yu Qingshi every time, it would definitely affect him, right?

Then, she should follow Uncle’s instructions.

So, the conversation between the uncle and niece ended nicely.

Although it did not get to sooth Jiang Xiaoman’s mind, Jiang Xing was very happy to be able to contribute some money.

Hey, it’s not good for a child to cause no worry at all.

The parents would have no sense of accomplishment at all.

After a week, Jiang Xiaoman had basically adapted to the rhythm of life in junior high school without any discomfort.

It was just that while she was very good at adapting to it, the same might not necessarily be true for others.

On Monday morning, Jiang Xiaoman happily went to school with her school bag on her back. When she entered the school hall, she met an old acquaintance who was crying after being caught by the teacher.

It was Ye Jiajia.

“Xiaoman, wuu wuu wuu… Xiaoman, please help me…”
