Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One-Chapter 520 - 51: The New Child Has Appeared_2
Then he skillfully began to count on his fingers: "1, 2, 3..."
Then counted on his fingers again: "1, 2, 3..."
Counting back and forth: "Equals 7!"
Little Xuan: ...I knew it!
Da Dan: ...
He thought to himself: No, no, we can’t afford a little brother like this.
But Liu Jia Bao was actually getting stubborn at this moment.
He doesn’t love studying, but if he’s eliminated because of poor performance, that feels different.
So he stubbornly said: "Studying is not important at all! Look at all of you who study well, didn’t Teacher Xiao Zhou still come to bully your aunt? But with me here, it’s different. I can roll around, cry, and call for my grandma... Do you know how powerful she is?"
"Look, today we made Teacher Xiao Zhou cry!"
As he spoke, he puffed out his chest, seemingly quite proud.
Everyone: ...
Yun Baoni spoke softly: "But having a powerful grandma doesn’t mean you’re powerful. She can’t attend classes with you! Besides, you don’t even know simple addition and subtraction, where’s your ability? You haven’t learned it!"
Liu Jia Bao: ...
He was speechless.
Little Xuan firmly rejected: "No, we plan to go to college in the future, teaching is very demanding. Liu Jia Bao’s learning is average, and it’s too much effort to guide him."
In reality, they had only been learning for two or three days, their heads filled with rote memorization — Da Dan had memorized the multiplication table ahead of time due to his love for calculating.
The reason they all opposed was that Liu Jia Bao’s reluctance to study was so evident, their little team didn’t want someone with poor performance.
But... Liu Jia Bao didn’t understand!
He thought for a moment and said, pain in his voice, "My grandma cooks me two eggs every day, I’ll share one with you as tuition!"
Little Xuan raised his brows:
Wow!
Two eggs.
What kind of family is that?
No wonder he’s called Liu Jia Bao, the whole family treats him like a precious egg.
Da Dan sighed — even among golden grandchildren, the treatment is vastly different!
Luckily, he’s with his aunt now and doesn’t crave eggs anymore.
...
Liu Jia Bao muddled through finding a school for himself, yet the problem arose; after finishing their chores, Da Dan and the others would squeeze in study time, leaving no time for school, hence none ever attended kindergarten.
But what about Liu Jia Bao? 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
This issue was answered by Old Lady Liu.
She stood at the kindergarten gate, hands on hips, angrily berating:
"A teacher, always dolled up, painted eyes and brows, thinking only of men, how could she care about our Bao..."
"Wasting years here, otherwise with our Bao’s cleverness, he’d be in elementary school already! Refund! The money must be refunded..."
Old Lady Liu, with her strength alone, successfully wrestled a refund of three dollars’ tuition from the kindergarten.
In fact, the kindergarten was organized by the military to alleviate concerns for soldiers, relying on a semester’s three dollars’ worth of childcare fees, couldn’t cover costs, with other expenses subsidized.
After all, small children, unlike self-sufficient older kids, require supervision, food preparation, and cleaning.
But who is Old Lady Liu? She could make a fuss at the door over a single penny from dawn until dusk; this caused shame among Sister-in-law Li and other responsible parties, and Teacher Xiao Zhou, after an investigation, was indeed unqualified, so they had no choice but to refund the money apologetically.
And Old Lady Liu, without delay, packed up her precious grandson and sent him to Captain Shi’s family.
In her meticulous little finance book, a semester’s tuition at the kindergarten is three dollars, and what could three dollars do? Buy 60 eggs from the supply and marketing cooperatives!
Enough to nourish our Bao for a month!
Of course, Old Lady Liu wasn’t yet aware that Liu Jia Bao, that spendthrift, already promised to pay a daily egg as tuition.
Calculating this way, it’s uncertain if it’s a loss or a gain?
...
At this moment, Sister-in-law Li once again sought out Chu River.
"Chu, Sister-in-law really feels embarrassed to bring this up to you..."
Chu River knew well: "It’s okay, Sister-in-law, if you’re embarrassed then don’t mention it."
Sister-in-law Li’s heart tightened.
Her face burned with shame, truly not wanting to lose face like this.
But... there was really no suitable person!
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have called Chu River to fill in, would they?
Besides, all the kids speak highly of Teacher Xiao Chu, even Old Lady Liu, so difficult to deal with, can be managed on his end...
Sister-in-law Li thought, this job really is perfect for Xiao Chu!
However, their previous dealings were shabby, truly treating the person like a screw - use wherever, then dismantle when unnecessary...
One doesn’t conduct business this way.
Thus, she could only accompany her words with a smile:
