Chapter 390: Chapter 390: Class Favorite (7)_1

The opening ceremony lasted for over thirty minutes, and it wasn’t until a few school leaders had spoken that it finally ended. The few remaining minutes of the second period combined with the twenty minutes for the exercise break meant there was almost a thirty-minute rest period.

When they left the ceremony, Xiu Xi carried a stool in each hand, not allowing her to lift a finger.

Once back in the classroom, Ruan Jiaojiao just collapsed onto her desk and began to doze off, sleeping straight through to the third period.

The first official class of the morning was math.

The math teacher was a man in his forties, kind-faced and gentle-voiced.

Ruan Jiaojiao watched as the teacher drew ten crude apples on the board, then turned to ask them, "Students, if there are ten apples and Little Ming eats six, how many are left?"

"..." Ruan Jiaojiao.

She felt so bored she wanted to blow bubbles.

She glanced at Xiu Xi next to her and saw him looking seriously at the blackboard, though she couldn’t tell if he was really listening attentively or not.

Ruan Jiaojiao felt she might not make it through the year; she wanted to skip a grade right now.

After enduring math and Chinese classes in the morning, she finally welcomed her first meal at school. The homeroom teacher chose three of the oldest male students to go to the cafeteria and fetch the food.

The food was steamed together in metal containers, each container divided into ten portions.

The school didn’t provide vegetables; students had to bring their own and heat them underneath the rice to eat them warm.

Ruan Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi left the classroom together, as the Ruanlin Family had already been waiting outside, beneath a shady tree, beckoning to them. Ruan Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi hurried over.

"Granny!" Ruan Jiaojiao flung herself into the Ruanlin Family’s arms, looking up at her. For some reason, her eyes suddenly reddened.

There hadn’t seemed to be any difference when she wasn’t around, but seeing her now, Ruan Jiaojiao suddenly realized she had been away from the Ruanlin Family for half a day.

"Granny, Jiaojiao missed you," Ruan Jiaojiao said with a quiver in her voice.

The Ruanlin Family set down the cloth bag she was carrying and hugged her tightly, her eyes also becoming misty.

It was torment for her as well when Ruan Jiaojiao went to school. Everything felt out of place at home. One moment she worried that Jiaojiao might be bullied at school; the next, whether she was hungry or too hot. In short, she worried endlessly.

She had prepared lunch as early as ten in the morning and had been waiting outside for a long time, extremely anxious.

Now, holding the soft little girl in her arms, her unsettled heart finally calmed down. After fiercely cherishing her for a while, she reluctantly set her down.

By then, Xiu Xi had already set up the food.

There was a dish of stir-fried eggplants with chili, another dish of stir-fried meat with chili, and a box of egg soup.

"Granny, did you eat?" Ruan Jiaojiao asked, holding her porcelain bowl.

The Ruanlin Family hadn’t eaten, but she nodded naturally anyway: "I did, I did. You two go ahead and eat."

Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t doubt her grandmother’s words and began to eat her meal.

Halfway through the meal, four boys came over in a group, each carrying a rectangular metal box, eyeing the dishes the Ruanlin Family had brought with envy.

Could the Ruanlin Family not have foreseen this?

She glared at them irritably and said, "Go ahead and eat, luckily there’s a little extra cooked today."

Upon hearing this, the four boys immediately started to eat as well.

Little Fatty knew how to sweet-talk. With a mouthful of meat, he smiled and flattered the Ruanlin Family: "Granny, your cooking is the best. Ever since you and Uncle moved away, how long has it been since I’ve had a good meal?"
