Life Is Not Easy For Children (1)
On the second day of school, Jiang Xiaoman earned 10 points, and her debt went down to -790 points.
She was ecstatic.
So this was how going to school felt! It was so fun, being able to study, make friends, and earn points at the same time!
She made Zhang Xinhua cry and snatched a little girlâs candy. Although she returned it later, Jiang Xiaoman still made her cry.
Later on, Jiang Xiaoman also threw in two of her own candies to coax her and make the little girl smile again.
She was very generous.
But these two candies were taken from her ration. They were bought by Uncle, not exchanged from the system.
Although the system gave her 100 points as New Yearâs money last time, Jiang Xiaoman never exchanged them with candies or biscuits.
Because after the incident with her uncle, Jiang Xiaoman knew that the good stuff needs to be used in the right place. Candies can be bought anywhere, but points could not.
She had to save up points to save herself during danger.
If Uncle became naughty and ran away again, or if she became disobedient and got spanked half-dead, she could save herself.
Jiang Xiaoman felt that her ability to see into the future was too good. She could see so far ahead. What an impressive accomplishment.
âUncle, youâre so slow,â Jiang Xiaoman said, âThe other kids have all gone home, but no one came to pick me up.â
âNot crying anymore today?â
âThatâs something only fools1 do.â
âOh, so yesterdayâs fool is no longer one today.â
Jiang Xiaoman snorted angrily and said nothing.
Jiang Xing said again, âNow the egg has hatched. Itâs no longer a fool.â
âThen what is it now?â
âA dumdum.â
Jiang Xiaoman angrily said, âI have become smarter than yesterday.â
âOk.â
âIâm not a fool anymore.â
âOk.â
Jiang Xiaoman was very happy. She urged Uncle to go home quickly and asked him to buy more buns. Today, they were going to eat only buns: vegetarian buns, meat buns, and all kinds of bunsâbuy them all!
Footnotes:
1. Alright, so the original word for fool here is stupid egg. Because the egg has hatched, that only leaves stupid. I chose dumdum since it sounds cuter
