Chapter 475: Chapter 475: Skipping Grades (5)_1 Chapter 475: Chapter 475: Skipping Grades (5)_1 So this morning, she was so busy that she hadnât eaten a thing, and now her stomach was calling out.
When Ruan Jiaojiao heard her stomach grumble, her face changed.
She looked up and asked her, âDidnât eat?â
âAh, itâs nothing, itâs nothing.â Shu Jiao quickly waved her hand and explained, âMom isnât hungry. You go ahead and eat. Once youâre done, Mom can go back and eat.â But no sooner had she finished speaking than her stomach gave an embarrassingly loud growl.
Ruan Feng and the others all looked over.
Shu Jiao felt incredibly awkward.
Ruan Jiaojiao, seeing her feigned indifference, felt somewhat angry and stood up with her bowl.
Shu Jiao was startled, thinking she was angry, but then she saw her walk over to her side, her little face twisted awkwardly as she softly grunted, âWeâll each eat half.â After saying that, she looked up at her and said, âIf you say you wonât eat, Iâll be mad!â
Seeing Ruan Jiaojiaoâs pretend anger, Shu Jiao felt so touched that her eyes brimmed with tears.
She nodded in a rush, âAlright, Mommy will eat half.â
Perhaps it was because she was sharing the bowl of rice with her daughter, or that her daughter had personally set it aside for her, but Shu Jiao found that todayâs meal tasted exceptionally delicious. If it werenât for the fact there wasnât enough, she really wouldâve liked another bowl.
After eating, the boys said goodbye and went to play.
Ruan Jiaojiao helped Shu Jiao clean up. Shu Jiao didnât want her daughter to do the work and told her to rest on the side. Ruan Jiaojiao didnât insist, just sat down nearby. After watching her mother pack everything up, she then said, âFrom now on, Mom must eat before delivering food to me, or else donât bring it to me at all.â
âOkay.â Shu Jiao nodded, feeling warm inside. She thought that although her daughter was still a bit awkward with her, deep down Jiaojiao cared for and loved her. This thought made her feel especially sweet inside.
After packing everything, she looked at Ruan Jiaojiaoâs face flushed with heat and said with concern, âYou should go back to the classroom. Take a nap on the desk at noon so you wonât be tired in the afternoon. After the two classes in the afternoon, Daddy and Mommy will be waiting for you at the school gate. Weâll go get our hair cut.â
Ruan Jiaojiao nodded.
Shu Jiao was about to head back after saying these things, but noticing that Ruan Jiaojiao hadnât moved, she put down the basket she was holding and squatted down to ask her, âJiaojiao, is there anything else?â
âWhat did Mom say to Wa Yiting today?â Ruan Jiaojiao asked, looking at her.
âWhat? Did she bother you again?â Shu Jiaoâs face darkened, ready to stand up and confront the person in question, but Ruan Jiaojiao quickly grabbed her.
âNo, she didnât bother me. She came to apologize to me,â Ruan Jiaojiao said, curious, âMom, what did you say to her? Why would she suddenly apologize to me?â
And she had a feeling that it wasnât just an apology, as if Wa Yiting had suddenly seen the light about something, which was puzzling to her. In her memory, Wa Yitingâs thinking was somewhat distorted, so what could Shu Jiao have possibly said to make her come around?
Hearing this, Shu Jiaoâs expression softened. Seeing the sweat on Ruan Jiaojiaoâs face, she took out a handkerchief from her pocket and tenderly wiped it away, gently saying, âMom didnât say much to her, just that she shouldnât bother you in the future. If she still causes you trouble, Mom wonât let her get away with it.â
Shu Jiao would not let even a child off.
Such words coming from Shu Jiao seemed hard to believe.
Ruan Jiaojiao looked at her in surprise, as this was completely out of character for the mother she remembered.
