Imperial College Kindergarten

Chapter 143 Why dig wild vegetables?

Although Xue Bo and others were very curious about this small courtyard, they followed etiquette and did not look around casually.

Liu Xueting saw them all sitting on the stools obediently, and hurriedly asked Mian Xia to bring some snacks.

Mian Xia smiled and said, "Just in time, Aunt Ma did a lot today, and Li Xin will be back later." After saying that, she turned around and entered the kitchen.

Feiye came out with a tea tray, first served tea to Xie Yu and Xie Miao, and then gave each of the children a cup of honey water.

Just at this moment, Li Xin came back from get out of class. She jumped in carrying the satchel that Aunt Ma had sewn for her. However, when she saw the people in the yard, she stopped and tilted her head to look at them curiously.

Liu Xueting waved to Li Xin, and Li Xin tightened the strap of his bag, as if hesitating.

"It's okay, come here, they are all the kids in my class." Seeing Li Xin's restraint, Liu Xuedang softened his tone.

When Li Xin heard this, his already dazzling eyes brightened even more, Imperial College Kindergarten!

A place where she has to work hard to get in!

Then Li Xin came to Liu Xueting's side, glanced enviously at the uniform clothes of Xue Bo and others, and secretly determined that she would pass the exam one day!
Even though the girl said it was difficult to take the exam, she still had to take the exam!
How could Liu Xueting not know what Li Xin was thinking?I just heard that the Imperial College Kindergarten exam is really difficult, especially at the end, where an interview is required.

Therefore, children from ordinary people's families are often eliminated at the last level.

Mo Wuyou was the first to wave hello and said openly, "Hello, I'm Mo Wuyou."

Li Xin imitated his gesture and waved: "My original name was Erya, but later the girl changed my name. My name is Li Xin now."

"Erya?" Xue Bo repeated the name, "Why did your parents give you such a name?"

"By the way, my name is Xue Bo."

Li Xingxin said that her father and mother suddenly came to mind. Her father often beat her violently, and her mother only hugged them and cried...

In fact, after following the girl to the capital, she had not thought about it for a long time.

Those days in the past seemed like a long dream, but now the days were better and more like a dream. Sometimes she was afraid that when she woke up from the dream, she would still be nestled in that small and stuffy kitchen.

Aunt Ma often said that she should miss the good things of girls. If she were not a girl, she would never have the chance to live such a good life.

Aunt Ma is right.

"Because my parents are in the village. In our place, the girls are called Da Ya Er Ya, and the boys are called Gou Sheng Tiezhu..." Li Xin said, she never knew that after leaving the village, she was a girl. I can still read and write, wear such good clothes, and live in such a good house.

"Is the village you live far away from here? What does the village look like? Is it like what is written in those poems, where chickens and dogs hear each other, roads crisscross, and there are a lot of fun things!" Commander Yi's tone was full of expectation. Apart from the palace and this place in the capital that she had heard of for the first time, the prince had actually been to the village. She had been pestering him for a long time, but he just didn't want to take her there!

snort!She was so angry that she ignored the prince brother for three days!
Li Xin shook his head and said: "The village is not fun at all. I have endless work to do every day. I have to get up before dawn to dig wild vegetables. After digging the wild vegetables, I have to help my mother make a fire, and then I go to catch earthworms for the chickens. Eat, wash clothes by the river, then look at my sister, wash dishes, and finally go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables!"

"My eldest sister is even more tired. She has to follow her mother to work in the fields."

Li Xin's words made Xue Bo and others' eyes widen. It seemed that it was beyond their current understanding. They had never known that children of their own age could still live such a life.

"Why do you want to dig wild vegetables?" Xue Bo asked puzzledly.

"Because there is not enough food to eat, in order not to starve, we have to eat wild vegetables."

Mo Wuyou touched his throat: "Then you don't need a child to wash clothes, right? Where are your servants?"

Li Xin asked blankly: "Servant? What is a servant?" "If I don't wash my clothes, I will be beaten."

"Ah? Who hit you?" Commander Yi was even more confused, "Why did they hit you?"

"My father would beat me. If I didn't work, he would beat me. Sometimes I would work but my father would beat us if he drank too much."

Zhang Wenxiu clenched his fists and said angrily: "What about your grandparents, are they just going to watch your father beat you?"

"My grandpa and grandma don't like us either, because my sister and I are all girls, and girls are worthless."

"Nonsense!" Commander Yi was so angry that he even pulled out the whip from his waist, "My father once said that I am the most noble little princess. How can a baby girl be worthless?"

Envy flashed in Li Xin's eyes: "I'm not talking nonsense. This is how it is where we live. Girls can't read and write, and they still have to work."

Xue Bo and others were stunned, not knowing whether what the little girl in front of them said was true or false, but it was definitely a different shock!

They never knew that there were still people living like this!

"Assistant Liu, is what she said true?" Commander Yi asked hurriedly, "But hasn't Daxia always allowed women to read and write?"

Liu Xueting sighed first, touched Li Xin's hanging head, and then explained: "It's true."

"There are indeed many places where those children live this kind of life, and there are even worse lives than this."

"It is good that Daxia has good regulations, but in some places people's ideas may still be stuck in the past and have not kept up with Daxia's pace, so they have not changed so quickly. However, if we work together, it will become better and better. The better.”

They were still young, and she actually didn't want to instill too many of these remarks, but it just happened to happen today.

Li Xin raised his head again, yes, it will definitely get better and better. As long as she works hard and becomes an official like that female champion, she can return to the village of Kaoshan so that children like her can read and write!

Xue Bo and others fell into deep thought. Although some of them did not understand, they all remembered it in their hearts.

Especially Commander Yi, she took Li Xin's hands, and immediately, the stark contrast between black and white made everyone look at her.

When Li Xin saw this scene, he was so frightened that he retracted his hand.

Commander Yi was afraid that Li Xin would misunderstand, so he hurriedly said: "I have no other intentions, I just want to make friends with you."

"Friends?" Li Xin looked confused, "What is a friend?"

"Friends are... they have something delicious and fun to share with us. We can sit down and chat like this, and we can also play together." Commander Yi nodded as he spoke, yes, that's it, right?

"Okay!" Li Xin happily agreed, "I haven't had the kind of friends you mentioned since I came here!"

"Hey, hey, have you forgotten me?"

"That's right, there's me too!"

"Me too!"

In the yard, the laughter of several children suddenly sounded. Liu Xueting and Xie Yu looked at each other and laughed too.

Xie Miao: "..."

He is the only one who co-authored it!
