Chapter 35
Chapter 34: Thirty-Four Children
Yoyo took several days to react, and I forgot to give the gift to brother Yueming.
She originally wanted to ask the other party if she liked this little gift, but she found out later that she seldom saw brother Yueming at home.
When Yoyo woke up in the morning, Yueming had already eaten breakfast, and it was said that he went to a cram school.
Yoyo during the day was taking classes at home, and when it was time for dinner, Yueming and Aunt Zhang didn’t share their table with them, but ate on the small table in the nanny’s room.
Wait for an hour after eating and practicing the piano, and finally when I had time to find him—
Yue Ming fell asleep.
A fifth grader went to bed before nine o’clock.
Yoyo at first thought that Yueming didn’t want to play with her on purpose, but then she took Mianmian to the Swan Lake in the villa area one morning to watch the swans, and saw a quiet place in the community Yueming who practices English everywhere.
“…what are you doing here?”
He was embarrassed and flustered, as if he was not looking at English words, but at **** beauties.
“It has nothing to do with you!”
Yue Ming’s tone was a little fierce.
The little girl holding the lamb was not frightened at all, she was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again:
“I know! You’re learning, right!”
Yu Ming pursed his lips, his ears and neck were red, but he pretended to be calm and packed up his things without a word.
“Are you leaving?” Yoyo looked at him curiously, “Why? You just learned so seriously, my mother always said that I didn’t pay attention to my studies, if only I could be like you. All right.”
Hearing this sentence, Yue Ming’s actions stagnate.
“…I’m…not good at all.”
He glanced at the little girl’s beautiful pea-green skirt, which was a soft fabric visible to the naked eye, and he had seen the little girl next door before buying a hairpin on her head. Mom got a beating.
However, for Yoyo, this is just one of her many beautiful hair cards.
Yue Ming shrank back involuntarily as he watched the sun shine on his old trousers that didn’t fit well.
Next second—
He was hugged by the little girl.
“…?”
Push her away.
Fortunately, the thing that caused her to bump her head last time is still vivid in her mind, Yueming withdrew the strength of his arm, and only broke away with a little force, and distanced himself from this inexplicable child.
“What are you doing!”
Yoyo hehe smiled: “I’m hugging you!”
“Why, why hug me!?”
Yue Ming blushed and was not used to such an intimate gesture.
“Because you want me to hug you.” Yoyo tilted her head and explained to him clearly, “You just lowered your head, like a puppy no one wants, like that , looks like it’s just waiting for someone to hug it.”
The little girl has a milky voice, innocent and straightforward, and has a ‘strange to hug or not to hug you” expression.
Yue Ming’s expression was blank for a moment.
He just… looked like she said?
“…I’m not a puppy no one wants!” Yueming retorted her.
Yoyo: “Well, you are a fierce cat!”
“…I’m not a cat either!”
The two argued for a while without any nourishment, and it took a long time to remember her mother’s instructions.
He looked at the little girl who was familiar with him already sitting next to him and turned over his English textbook, feeling a little uneasy.
…In this case, it shouldn’t be that he took the initiative to provoke her, right?
“You just mispronounced a word!”
The little girl was sitting on the bench, dangling her feet.
“It’s christmas! Nian Rui, not Li, christmas!”
Although Yoyo doesn’t know these words, but when she is at home, Gu Qizhou will consciously talk to her in English occasionally, so it is no problem for her to communicate in English every day.
Yue Ming is the exact opposite of her.
The reason why Aunt Zhang’s monthly salary in Gu’s family is so high, they still have a tight life, the reason is because Aunt Zhang sent Yueming to a private school with expensive tuition.
Private schools have started bilingual teaching since elementary school. Yueming’s English scores are good, but his speaking and listening are very poor. He often can’t understand what the teacher is saying in class. , but also stuttered because of his poor accent.
At this time, a three-year-old girl pointed out his non-standard pronunciation, and Yue Ming became tense.
Laughter in class.
Classmates talking behind their backs.
Even the teacher told him that he should consider transferring if he could not continue to attend the class.
The self-esteem of the little boy was violated, he was like a kitten with fried fur again, with alert claws, always ready to attack the enemy who wanted to hurt himself.
Then he turned the English book over and asked:
“Brother Yueming, do you know all these?”
The more mingled, and hesitantly replied: “…Know.”
“Wow—”
She put down the book, looked at him with a very longing look and applauded.
“You are amazing.”
She sat upright and applauded like a disciplinary committee member who could be a model student in elementary school.
“These tadpole characters are so hard to read. I can’t remember the letters my father taught me. You know so many words.”
“…”
So she doesn’t know the words yet.
Yue Ming did not speak, but he was very envious of Yo Yo having a father who could teach her English.
When he got home, his father would just watch TV and play with his mobile phone, and while he was doing his homework, he would scan those noisy short videos and laugh like no one else.
His father wouldn’t do this, talk to him in English and teach him to memorize these tongue-in-cheek words.
Yoyo didn’t know Yueming’s complicated mood, she had a lot of troubles that Yueming didn’t understand in her small head.
“…Everyone is so smart, only Yoyo can’t do anything. The teacher even told my mother that I can’t count…but I just can’t!”
Mom said that she was not under enough pressure, and people were forced to do everything.
But you can’t do arithmetic, you can’t do arithmetic, you can’t tat
Yue Ming, who was on the side, looked at the little girl who dared to shine like a little sun just now, and suddenly she was downcast.
“…don’t be sad.” Yueming hurriedly said, “I-I can teach you.”
Yoyo looked up at him, then imitated the sigh of an adult and said:
“It’s useless, just give up.”
I don’t know why, seeing Yoyo so downcast, Yueming felt that he was inexplicably anxious, he touched from his pocket and took out the refills of a box of pencils.
“Come here and I’ll teach you.”
Yo Yo, I don’t even think I can learn it. After all, my brother has taught me, my sister has taught me, and the teachers my mother invited have taught me many times, but she won’t just won’t.
However, she squatted down.
“…Look, we now have ten pencil leads…”
Two fluffy little heads came together and looked at the pencil lead on the chair seriously.
Mianmian, who was nibbling on the grass in the flower bed, also stretched out her head curiously, watching the two human cubs concentrate on discussing… addition and subtraction within ten.
“…what is seven plus three?”
“…ten?”
“…what is five plus two?”
“…six…no no no! It’s seven!”
Yoyo’s eyes sparkled like stars.
“Am I right!?”
As if infected by her excitement, Yueming also showed the first smile from the heart after coming here.
“That’s right!”
“Yeah!” Yoyo was moved to tears, she turned to look at Mianmian, “Mianmian, I’m not an idiot! I can count! I know five plus two equals seven!”
Mianmian also seemed happy for her, and wanted to rub Yoyo’s face with her head.
However, just as it was about to approach, it was waved away by a strong little hand.
“Go away!”
He glared at Mianmian.
Resist, hate.
“Don’t bully Mianmian!”
Yoyo stretched out her soft arms and hugged the little lamb that was pushed away.
She said embarrassingly:
“If you bully Mianmian, I won’t be able to play with you. Don’t bully Mianmian, okay?”
Yue Ming endured and endured, but couldn’t bear it, lowered his voice and said:
“It’s not a lamb, it’s a monster.”
Yoyo: “Well, then I’m also a monster! Mianmian is my friend! What is it and what is I!”
“…”
Yue Ming thinks she is so stupid.
How can someone call themselves a monster?
He could see that Yoyo was not a monster at all, she had an aura similar to his.
Yue Ming couldn’t tell what it was, but she didn’t mistake her for a monster.
Seeing Yoyo as an old hen protecting her calf standing in front of the little monster, Yueming did not continue to argue with her, packed her things, put her schoolbag on her back and headed for the bus far, far away alone stand and walk.
—
After returning home, Yoyo quickly forgot about it and ran around the room to show off that she knew how to count.
Quiet Chuantou, who was tortured by Yoyo’s arithmetic talent, didn’t believe it.
“How much is one plus eight?”
“Nine!” Yoyo answered confidently.
“What about three plus four?”
“Seven!”
So powerful?
Shen Jingchuan thought for a while, then asked:
“Nine plus two…?”
Yoyo’s confident expression got stuck.
Oops!
This question is out of line!
Seeing that her smug little expression was about to droop down like a deflated ball, Shen Jingchuan closed it when she saw it, and comforted:
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t, this is too difficult, it won’t be normal.”
Shen Jingchuan didn’t expect that one day, he would give a too difficult evaluation to addition and subtraction within twenty.
He felt that he had been tormented by Yoyo and was very calm.
Yo Yo this is how I regained my self-confidence, emphasizing:
“Yeah! This is so difficult, you haven’t learned it yet!”
Shen Jingchuan wondered why Yoyo suddenly became enlightened, and when he asked her about it, Yoyo said happily:
“Brother Yueming taught me! I taught him English, and he taught me to count!”
…You can’t remember these 26 letters, can you teach others English?
Shen Jingchuan doubts this.
Yoyo is still immersed in her own power, and by the way, she madly blows a wave of rainbow farts:
“Brother Yueming is amazing! He just talked for a while, and I understood!”
“He can memorize many, many words, and he remembers them all!”
“I also saw that he has a bunch of little stars sent by the teacher! So many! The teacher must like him very much!”
After Yoyo, who was in high spirits, ran to show off her smarter self to Yu Lan, Gu Miaomiao, who was picking up water from the kitchen, came out, and apparently heard Yoyo’s small horn-like sound.
Aunt Zhang also heard it clearly, she said embarrassedly:
“Miss Yoyo is smart, not Xiaoming’s credit, Miss Yoyo is just too kind…”
Shen Jingchuan frowned while listening to Aunt Zhang subconsciously belittling Yueming.
Gu Miaomiao is more direct.
“Why is it not his fault?”
The six-year-old girl looked at her with clear eyes.
“Aunt Yu invited a doctor of foreign education to teach you, and Shen Jingchuan. The teacher said that he could even know the sixth grade math Olympiad, but he didn’t teach him.”
Inexplicably, the silent Chuan of cue felt Gu Miaomiao’s ridicule.
The little girl said calmly and seriously:
“If it’s Yoyo from Brother Yueming’s church, then he’s really good.”
Aunt Zhang looked at Gu Miaomiao in surprise.
She didn’t communicate much with this precocious little girl, so she didn’t expect that she would suddenly have no interaction with her.
“…ah, oh…”
She stammered.
Looking at her appearance, she must have not taken this to heart.
Gu Miaomiao did her best and did not say more.
Shen Jingchuan hesitated for a while, but couldn’t help but persuade:
“Aunt Zhang, some things that adults are used to are very cruel to children.”
Children of this age, when the teacher asks them to write down who they want to be in the future, they also write about the innocent and romantic dream of becoming a scientist and an astronaut.
They don’t have the concept of class yet. They believe that they stand under the same starry sky as other children, and believe that when they grow up, they can reach for the stars.
However, Aunt Zhang killed his innocent and beautiful worldview in the most gentle way.
What she has planted now will be the inferiority complex buried deep in the child’s heart.
Aunt Zhang still looked confused and didn’t seem to understand what he was saying.
Shen Jingchuan sighed, unable to say more.
—
Yoyo, who learned to add within ten, accidentally got a new can of sugar balls.
Yu Lan: “If you can teach me how to subtract within ten, then my mother will reward you with a piece of chocolate.”
Chocolate! !
Yoyo’s desire to learn is unprecedented.
Although it’s not that she has never tried temptation with snacks before, but because she really can’t learn, so even if she hangs a candy in front of her with a pole, she won’t learn if she doesn’t.
But now it’s different!
She now has a gold medal counselor, Teacher Xiaoyue!
Yoyo accompanies Teacher Xiaoyue to practice English, and Teacher Xiaoyue takes her to learn addition and subtraction!
She wants both sugar and chocolate!
Duck! !
The high-spirited children get up early every day, and follow Yueming’s schedule to study by Swan Lake in the morning. After she finishes studying, Yueming goes to a cram school, and she is walking sheep in the villa area.
“…do you remember what I taught you today?”
Yoo nodded and asked:
“Do you remember what I taught you today?”
Yue Ming also nodded.
Two little teachers and primary school students completed another day of study tasks, both of them were very fulfilling.
“Then I’ll go to class.”
Yue Ming packed up his schoolbag and turned to leave, but he suddenly thought of something and stopped.
“That…”
Yue Ming bowed his head in embarrassment, his slender eyelashes were curled and looked as beautiful as angel feathers in the sun.
He said a little uneasy:
“Thank you yoyo.”
“I, I liked the gift you gave me last time, but it was accidentally damaged because of me.”
“I asked my mother for pocket money, I will buy glue to stick it well, will you…will… give birth to…”
Yue Ming is not an articulate child.
Although he is bigger than Yoyo, in many cases, he is not as graceful as Yoyo.
“It’s okay!” Yoyo interrupted him cheerfully, “I’ll buy you a new gift next time!”
Yue Ming was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
“Good.”
The stingy Yoyo added:
“But, but I don’t have any money… don’t despise my gift!”
Her money bought a violin for her sister, and ice cream for her beautiful brother—although she ate them herself—but she is really poor now, and the red bills are turning green !
Yue Ming is still smiling happily.
He wouldn’t despise her gift.
Watching Yoyo lead the lamb back, turning around and walking in the other direction, Yueming thought:
Yoyo treats him well, and he treats Yoyo well too.
Although my mother didn’t want them to be too close, but…he really likes being with Yoyo.
And, as long as you protect Yoyo and don’t let her cry, mother shouldn’t be angry, right?
Just as Yueming was about to leave the villa area, he rushed into a sports car with a roaring engine from the outside.
The sports car is driving fast and crooked, not following the prescribed route at all.
Yue Ming didn’t care too much at first, but after taking two steps, he remembered the following Yoyo.
The roads in the villa area are wide and the vehicles drive very slowly. Yoyo is too young to pay attention to the road, not to mention that she leads a striking sheep. When the car sees her, she will take the initiative to avoid it.
But the one just now—
Yue Ming was startled and immediately turned around and ran back.
After running along this road for less than a minute, he saw Yoyo fall into the grass beside the road, and didn’t get up for a long time, the sheep lay beside her, licking her wrist A slightly darker tooth mark on the quilt.
It was left by Mianmian to drive her off the road.
“Yoyo!”
Yoyo, who was tying up the lawn, didn’t know what was going on. When he was sitting upright against the grass, he saw Yueming running in panic and pushing Mianmian to the ground.
“You are not allowed to eat her!”
The unsuspecting Mianmian was pushed to the ground and whimpered in grievance.
Yoyo was taken aback, her first reaction was to pounce on Mianmian on the ground, hug it and pat the dirt on her body.
“Mianmian are you all right!?”
The little girl’s voice was full of tears, and she was very distressed.
Yue Ming’s eyes were rightly watching the marks on Yoyo’s wrists that were bitten by Mianmian teeth.
Bright red.
Bai Nen’s arm was broken.
Yue Ming’s mind was filled with the monster he saw in the countryside for the first time when he was three years old. It was a very fierce and fierce wolf.
The wild wolf stared at him with a pair of green eyes, and the eyes with no temperature seemed to be looking at his own food.
—then swallowed the little yellow dog standing in front of him.
The little yellow dog is his closest friend.
It was eaten by monsters like this.
Yue Ming looked at the marks on Yoyo’s wrist, deep anger and fear surging in her beautiful pupils.
Youkai can eat people.
So, will it be eaten one day?
—
Gu Miaomiao soon discovered that Yoyo and Yueming, who were inseparable every morning, seemed to have quarreled.
“He pushed Mianmian!” Yoyo said angrily, “He’s super hard! One click! Pushed Mianmian! It hurts!”
Gu Miaomiao was a little surprised by Yueming’s behavior.
After all, in her eyes, Yueming is just a stubborn child who is a little restrained and inferior, and will take the initiative to push Yoyo’s favorite pet. It’s not like Yueming will do it.
In the afternoon, Yue Ming, who always stayed in the room and never went out, took the initiative to knock on Yoyo’s door.
“Yo, sorry.”
Yue Ming’s voice softened, coupled with his soft and beautiful facial features, it is easy to soften your heart.
“I shouldn’t have pushed Mianmian today, it’s my fault, I just thought Mianmian bit you, so I pushed it.”
The little boy like an angel has clear eyes, sincere eyes, and his eyes are full of apology.
He gently placed a small bag of candy bought with pocket money outside Yoyo’s door.
After waiting for a few seconds, a fluffy head protruded from the door.
The little girl’s eyes were a little red, and she looked at him suspiciously:
“…really?”
Yue Ming nodded vigorously.
“I really knew I was wrong!”
Yoyo looked at him for three seconds, her expression softened, but still emphasized:
“Don’t apologize to me, you have to apologize to Mianmian, if Mianmian doesn’t forgive you, I can’t forgive you either.”
Yue Ming smiled and agreed very well.
“Then I’ll feed the cotton grass! Apologize to it – this is for you!”
He stuffed the sugar into Yoyo’s arms, turned and ran quickly towards the yard.
Looking at the back of Yue Ming leaving, Yo Yo suddenly became a little lost.
Just now…is it an illusion?
I always feel that brother Yueming’s smile seems a little scary.
—
Running all the way.
Yue Ming came to the yard next to the sheep pen that Yoyo had built for Mian Mian.
It was almost evening, and the afterglow of the sunset shrouded the little boy’s thin figure.
Mianmian in the sheepfold blinked, looking curiously at the little boy who would never approach it.
The boy who smiled sweetly and tenderly in front of Yoyo just now looked at him blankly, and there was no smile in those beautiful eyes like glass beads.
Suddenly.
A small stone hit its head.
“Stay away from Gu Youyou.”
The little boy frowned, looking disgusted and hated.
“You monsters, pretending to be cute little animals, are actually bad things!”
I took a step back, as if frightened by the stones he threw.
“If you dare to eat her, I won’t let you go!”
After intimidating the little lamb that reached his chest high, Yueming turned and ran away with a cold face.
But he ran for two steps, as if he still didn’t hate enough, his eyes wandered on the ground, picked up another stone, and turned back to throw it at Mianmian over there.
His hand crossed an arc in mid-air, just about to throw a stone—
“What do you want to do?”
The voice that appeared behind me at some point was very abrupt.
It is the sound of clear spring water.
“Put it down.”
Said the young man.
“Otherwise, I promise, a bigger stone will fall on your head.”
