Yu Qingshi’s Gift (5)

In addition to showing off how she was smarter than before, she also invited him to play.

Although he didn’t see her with his own eyes, Yu Qingshi could see her smug face through this letter.

He was furious and wanted to reply, but he didn’t seem to have learned any new words these days after thinking about it. How could he prove to Jiang Xiaoman that he was smarter than before?

Yu Qingshi had to give up unwillingly and stopped the competition through letters. However, he wrote a reply to Jiang Xiaoman’s invitation. The letter said that he was about to start school and could not go out anymore. He hoped that she would study hard and make progress every day. She loved to study so much if only she could come and go to school with him.

When Jiang Xiaoman got Yu Qingshi’s letter, it was already more than ten days later.

She actually lied to Yu Qingshi; she didn’t learn many words at all. She didn’t recognize some of the words in Yu Qingshi’s letter.

But now she had a Xinhua dictionary so that she could look it up by herself.

After checking out the words she didn’t know, Jiang Xiaoman finally understood the letter’s contents.

So he really already went to school.

Ok.

Jiang Xiaoman was a little bit lost. He couldn’t come to play in the village anymore, but she was also envious.

She was also learning while playing with Teacher Tang.

Although she learned much faster than before, she did not have her own desk or chair, different from the other children in the classroom.

Jiang Xiaoman put the envelope away and put it with her treasured pebbles.

Yu Qingshi was going to school, so she couldn’t bother him.

Wait for his holiday, then invite him to play.

After uncle started working in the mine, he said that he would install a new color TV as well as a telephone at home. The conditions at home have improved. When Yu Qingshi came, he would definitely like it.

Jiang Xiaoman dug a hole again and hid the iron box.

After doing all this, she said to the system. “Big Bro System4, you are still my best friend.”

“En… Thank you.” The system said.

Jiang Xiaoman was not depressed for long and soon became merry again.

Because Grandma said that the weather was getting colder, and the ground was starting to be covered with frost dew.

That meant… she could eat persimmons!

There would be many, many delicious fruits ripening. Jiang Xiaoman’s favorite season was here.

As long as there was food, her worries would disappear quickly.

Every day was the same. Happily going to school, happily doing homework, and happily chatting with the system. The days flew by quickly.

Other than her clothes getting thicker and thicker and her body getting taller and taller, there didn’t seem to be any further changes.

Jiang Xing’s logistics team was just getting started, and the mountain roads were very hard to navigate. He built a garaged with a small house attached to it not far from the mine. He usually sleeps there and did not commute back home.

He rarely went home, but he would always bring all kinds of trinkets for Jiang Xiaoman that could only be found in the mountains every time he did.

Wild fruits, small animals, and all kinds of strange toys, many of which she had never seen before.

It didn’t matter that she had not seen it before. She loved everything and ate anything happily. She kept the small animals and treated them like Mrs. Flower as long as they didn’t die. She gave them delicious foods and drinks everyday and cared for them a lot.

Big flower was also getting bigger and bigger, and it was now half as big as its mother. Jiang Xiaoman was very happy to see that because it meant that Uncle finally could not pick it up anymore. No wonder Grandma always said that Jiang Xiaoman had to be plump, only then could she be relieved.

Because if she were fat and plump, bad guys would not be able to pick her up, so she would be safe.

It’s just that… Jiang Xiaoman was happy too soon.

One Uncle could not pick up Big Flower, but many uncles could.

Poor Big Flower became the New Year Pig5.

4. So now it’s no longer Mr. System, but Big Bro System

5. Big Flower became the new year meal ☹ (butchering a pig for New Years is a tradition in some areas)
