Chapter 3147 The Kindergarten Director's Successor
Robin was chased all over the place by the rooster, but luckily she realized what was happening in time and quickly returned the eggs in her pocket to the rooster. With the help of Dunzi and Xier, she was able to escape.
But Robin isn't one to back down easily. She might not be able to handle the rooster, but surely she can handle the chicks!
She caught a chick and scolded it for a long time, venting all her anger.
Meanwhile, in Pujiang, Liuliu was trying her best to persuade Zhu's mother to worship the Kitchen God.
It was really difficult for Zhu Xiaojing to directly say that she wouldn't hold the sacrificial ceremony, as it would be considered taboo.
“We don’t have this custom here,” Zhu Xiaojing said. To dissuade Liuliu from her idea, she took out her wallet and, under Liuliu’s expectant gaze, pulled out a ten-yuan bill for her.
"Take the money and go have fun, buy something you like, and don't bother me anymore, can you do that?"
"No problem at all!"
Liuliu readily agreed, but was still a little unsatisfied. "Aunt Zhu, don't you have lots of hundred-yuan bills in your wallet? Won't you give me one?"
Giving her only a ten-yuan note when there are so many hundred-yuan bills seems a bit stingy.
None of that compares to the allowance that Xiaobai gives Robin all at once.
"This money is for paying off our mortgage."
"Is our mortgage still not paid off?"
"No, there's still a huge sum to pay, and we also have to pay our car loan."
"But our house is so old, why do we still have to pay a mortgage?"
Liu Liu stared at Zhu's mother suspiciously, feeling that Zhu's mother was trying to fool her, but she had no proof.
Zhu Xiaojing grew impatient: "Do you want it or not? If you don't want it, fine, I won't even give you ten yuan."
"Yes, yes, yes~~~ Hehe~~~ I was just concerned about our family~ so I asked a couple more questions."
Liuliu quickly put the ten yuan into her pocket, feeling quite pleased. Although it was a small amount, it was better than nothing. After all, it was a sudden idea she had come up with to ask the Kitchen God for the money. If she hadn't had this sudden idea, how could she have forced Zhu's mother to take out ten yuan?
Liu Liu left happily, wondering what to buy with the ten yuan.
In the evening, after having dinner, Liuliu went out to Little Red Horse Academy.
Zhu Xiaojing couldn't help but say, "The New Year is almost here, so why don't we not go these next few days? Aren't Xiaobai and the others no longer at the academy?"
“Dudu will go, and Xiaowei, Xiaodu, and Xiaozhou are still there too. Of course I’m going. I’m the principal now! I have to take responsibility.”
"When did you become the head of Little Red Horse Park? Isn't the head of the park your Grandma Huang?"
“I’m the successor to the principal. I’ll take over when Grandma Huang retires.”
Zhu Xiaojing pouted: "When did you become the principal's successor? How come I didn't know?"
"Do you even know that I am a successor to socialism?"
These words silenced Zhu Xiaojing. After a while, she said, "Then you must study hard."
"I'm studying hard. You see, I read books every day, which is how I learn to become an excellent successor to socialism and a successor to the kindergarten principal."
"Have you been reading every day? You haven't even done your winter break homework!"
"I'm taking a break today because I'm a little tired. I'll do my homework tomorrow. Mom, please take me to Little Red Horse School. All the other kids are waiting for me."
"What are you waiting for me to do?"
“They won’t feel safe if I don’t go.”
"You've got to be kidding me."
"Come on, why aren't you happy that I'm improving a little bit every day?"
"I'm happy for you, of course I'm happy for you. If you're going, hurry up and put on your hat and gloves, let's go."
Liuliu ran back to her room and came out quickly, carrying her schoolbag.
Why are you carrying a backpack?
"Take my winter break homework with me and do it."
Zhu Xiaojing was very skeptical that the child could be so self-disciplined. He had just said that he was a little tired today and would do his homework tomorrow.
But never mind, I won't question the child anymore, lest she get upset and say she's sad that the family isn't warm.
In winter, it gets dark early. When I went out, it was already completely dark. Driving on the road, I could clearly feel that there were far fewer cars than usual, and some of the shops on the street had already closed.
As soon as Liuliu arrived at Little Red Horse, she saw Dudu giving some instructions to the two little ones.
As she approached, she overheard that the two little ones were about to go home and it was uncertain whether they would return next year. Dudu, acting as a caring older sister, was giving them advice on survival skills.
"Don't eat food from strangers, and definitely don't go with strangers, understand?"
"Know~"
The two little ones responded in unison.
"Don't watch TV or use your phone too much, it'll damage your eyes. You should exercise more and love learning..."
As Dudu spoke, she patted them on the shoulder and helped them button up their clothes.
"When you get home, listen to your parents and don't make them sad."
"Okay, Sister Dudu, we'll listen to you."
"Let me say a few words," Liu Liu interrupted forcefully.
The two little ones looked at her.
"Let me say a few words. Next time you come to Pujiang, remember to visit Little Red Horse, okay?"
"Okay, Liuliu."
"Huh? How can you call me by my first name? What should you call me?"
"It's Durian!"
"Aren't you going to call for Mom?"
The two little ones laughed and ran away.
Liuliu angrily said to Dudu, "How rude of them, these brats. Dudu, go and bring them here, I have something to tell them."
"Liuliu, don't worry about them. Seven children are leaving tonight."
Upon hearing this, Liu Liu felt a little panicked. Why did the little red horse seem to fall apart as soon as it was in her hands? Xiao Bai had told her to take good care of the little red horse when she left, and it had only been a few days, and almost everyone had already left.
"Can we not leave?"
"No, they want to go back to their hometown for the Chinese New Year."
"Come again after the New Year."
"Listen to their parents."
Liuliu and Dudu went to each of the children who were about to leave, to tell them some things, give them parting words, take photos, and give them small gifts... After they finished, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
Xiaomi and Chengcheng have already returned to their hometown. Only Liuliu and Dudu remain in the group of best friends. It's the peak season for farewells, with many children returning to their hometowns. And after they leave, will they come back? Most likely, they won't.
Xiaobai had previously set a rule that all children who left would have their photos taken as a memento, their files made up, and would be given a small gift.
These tasks naturally fell to Liuliu and Dudu.
Finally finished with their work, the two sat at the top of the stairs. Liuliu held the roster and counted again and again. There were only 12 children left in the school, including the two of them.
Dudu said, "I'm going back to my hometown the day after tomorrow, Liuliu."
"Don't be so silly, I can't bear to part with you. Come here, give your sister a hug."
Dudu hugged her and patted her on the back.
In a sorrowful voice, Liuliu said, "Dudu, will we meet again? If we meet again in a sea of people many years later, will we be able to recognize each other immediately?"
Dudu remained silent.
Liuliu continued, "After you left, I couldn't find any close friends anymore. I'm not happy playing games, I'm not happy eating, and I can't sleep. Who am I going to put on an act for?"
After a moment of silence, Dudu couldn't help but say, "I'll be back after the New Year. We'll only be apart for ten days."
Liu Liu pushed her away, surprised, "Huh? You're coming back? Why didn't you say so earlier? I was so upset I cried."
She wiped away imaginary tears and said, "Come on, Dudu, let's go report to Grandma Huang. Her children are almost gone, and she doesn't even care. Honestly!"
"How can you manage that? People want to go home for the New Year, you can't just stop them from leaving."
"Stop taking other people's side. You should help me out more. That's when we're on the same side."
"Grandma Huang said you don't need to report to her three times a day; you can take a break."
"The principal cares about us, but how can we take her concern seriously!"
"...Grandma Huang is actually a little annoyed with you, isn't she?"
"...If you don't know, don't talk nonsense."
"...We all know you're eyeing Grandma Huang's position."
"...Hahaha, what are you saying? Have I made it that obvious?"
"Is Li Baibai's parrot calling you 'Director Liuliu' now?"
"That poor parrot! How did it get caught?!"
