Chapter 47(1/3)
The parent-teacher meeting was about to be held, and the Chinese teacher assigned a reading task, asking the students to read classics, and then share their thoughts after reading at the parent-teacher meeting.
Every four students form a group and complete the reading task together.
Lu Churro, Zhang Hu, and Jiang Qinglin were an unbeatable iron triangle. They made an appointment to go to the bookstore to buy books together after school.
Children still prefer reading comic books to phonetic masterpieces in children's books. As soon as Jiang Qinglin and Zhang Hu came to the bookstore, they dived into the pile of comic books.
"Porridge, come here quickly, this comic is so good."
Jiang Qinglin waved to Lu Porridge in the famous works section.
Lu Churro put down the children's pinyin reading book of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and walked to Jiang Qinglin: "But the teacher asked us to buy classics."
"Forget the classics, let's read comics together. This one is super good."
Lu Congee picked out a comic called "Naughty Little Kiss", with beautiful brothers and sisters on the cover.
She sat down, flipped through a few pages, and was deeply fascinated by the content of the comic——
"Ah, Mrs. Naoki Irie is so handsome, isn't she?"
"Stop talking, I decided that Naoki is my idol and I don't want Lu Huairou anymore!"
"I don't want brother Yang Yi anymore, ugh!"...
Zhang Hu said disdainfully: "You two... can you complete the reading task well? The parent-teacher meeting will start soon. Let's see what you two are doing!"
Jiang Qinglin retorted: "Aren't you watching "Slam Dunk" too!"
Zhang Hu said confidently: "In the reading sharing session, Fat Porridge is on stage, and I am a salted fish."
"But we are doing a group task." Lu Churro said: "Even if you don't go on stage, you still have to read, discuss and do homework together! You can't leave it to me alone."
The three of them looked at each other, then looked at the comic books in their hands, reached a consensus, sat down, and continued reading comics with gusto.
Compared with famous books, these various comics are much more attractive.
Just at this time, Zhu Pandi came over and called Lu Churri: "You are here too."
Lu Churro waved to her: "hello!"
Zhu Pandi asked curiously: "What are you looking at?"
"Comic, come and read it together. This one is super good." Lu Churro moved to Jiang Qinglin's side, making room for Zhu Pandi.
"No, no." Zhu Pandi waved her hands repeatedly: "Grandma took my brother and I to the bookstore to buy books. I will leave soon."
"Oh fine."
Zhu Pandi hesitated for a while and asked shyly: "Is your team still short of people?"
"There are only three of us." Lu Churro replied: "There is still one person left."
Zhu Pandi's cheeks were slightly red and she asked cautiously: "Then...can I join you?"
"Sure!" Lu Zhouzhou agreed happily: "However, our team is a salted fish team."
"Salted fish group?"
She raised the comic book in her hand and said, "That's right... Hey, the name of our group is - the 'Masterpieces are not as good as comics' group."
Zhu Pandi said: "It doesn't matter, I like to read classics, and I can write my thoughts after reading them."
Lu Congee knew that Zhu Pandi's Chinese scores were very good and she read widely. She got full marks every time she wrote her essays. The Chinese teacher also liked to read Zhu Pandi's compositions aloud in class.
It’s great to have such a general join their salted fish team!
"Zhu Pandi, we're back." At the checkout counter, Grandma Zhu Pandi held the little boy's hand and looked at her dissatisfied: "Why are you still dawdling!"
Zhu Pandi quickly waved goodbye to Lu Zhurui and the others, then trotted over with a few classics she had chosen.
Her grandma doesn't look old, she looks like she's in her early fifties, slightly chubby, and quite well-dressed.
She flipped through the books selected by Zhu Pandi and asked, "Your brother has just gone to preschool. Can he understand these books?"
"These are not my brother's books..." she said anxiously: "These are the books I want to buy. Because the teacher assigned a reading task for classics, I have to buy books."
Grandma picked out the book and said dissatisfiedly: "I took you out to pick out books for your brother. It would be better for you to choose a lot of your own books. Why are you so selfish? Do you still have your brother in your heart?"
"No... I thought they were buying books for us together." Zhu Pandi's voice gradually became weaker: "Because the teacher assigned reading tasks..."
"What's the reading task? I think you're just making excuses. Besides, what's the use of a girl reading so many books? You might as well use the money to pick out a few more books for your brother."
Zhu Pandi looked at the shopping cart in her grandma's hand. It was full of her brother's books "Look at Pictures and Talk" and "One Hundred Thousand Whys", as well as many colorful book covers.
At her brother's age, she had never seen so many children's books. All the books she read were either read in bookstores by herself or borrowed from friends around her.
Seeing Zhu Pandi being scolded by her parents, Lu Churro and Jiang Qinglin came to help her: "Grandma Zhu, our Chinese teacher really assigned a reading task, and Zhu Pandi didn't lie."
"Yes, yes, we all need to buy books!"
Zhu Pandi had tears in her eyes.
There were also many passers-by watching around, and they all accused Grandma Zhu: "Buying books for your granddaughter is a waste."
"It's just that it's too outrageous to buy so many books for my grandson but not buy them for my granddaughter."
Grandma Zhu was a very respectable person. Seeing that she could no longer hold on to her dignity, she finally compromised and said, "Then just choose one book and buy only one book."
Zhu Pandi quickly selected the one she wanted most from the famous books she had just selected, "Education of Love". However, she was a little reluctant to part with the other books and begged her grandma -
"The remaining few books are all requested by the teacher..."
"I think you are pushing your limits." Grandma said angrily: "You don't look like a sister at all. You should learn more from your brother. Does he want this or that from the adults?"
Zhu Pandi looked at her brother's gloating look and wanted to say, "Maybe he doesn't want to read any of the books you chose." However, in order to be able to buy classics, she held back and said nothing.
Grandma took the "Education of Love" in her hand, threw it in front of the cashier, and said, "This is it, there are no more."
Zhu Pandi looked at "Robinson Crusoe" and "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" reluctantly, feeling very sad.
Lu Chuzhou came over and said to her quietly: "You choose "Education of Love", I will buy "Robinson Crusoe", and Jiang Qinglin will buy "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Anyway, we are in the same group, and we will exchange readings then.
.”
Zhu Pandi's frown relaxed, she nodded heavily, and glanced at Lu Churri gratefully.
In the evening, Lu Huairou was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper. Lu Churro crawled over, supported his knees with his elbows, and talked about today's events in general.
"Why did Grandma Zhu Pandi buy so many books for her brother, but not one for Zhu Pandi?"
Lu Huairou yawned and said, "Do you even need to ask? It must be because she is as naughty as you, so grandma likes her brother more, and no good things can happen to her..."
"Is that so?" Lu Churro was a little skeptical. She felt that Zhu Pandi was very obedient, and her teachers and classmates all liked her.
"Don't all naughty children deserve equal treatment?"
Lu Huairou: "If there is someone in the family who is more obedient, everyone will be partial. It is human nature."
Lu Xueling came home from the variety show. He was so tired that he slumped on the sofa motionless.
Lu Churro quickly ran to the open kitchen, filled her with a cup of hot milk and handed it to her. He squeezed her shoulders and beat her legs.
Lu Huairou said jealously: "As your most respected and beloved grandfather, don't I deserve to have my shoulders squeezed and my legs slapped? Go and pour me a glass of milk!"
Lu Churro said confidently: "Because my aunt is more obedient than my grandpa, and I am partial to my aunt, so grandpa doesn't squeeze his shoulders or beat his legs, nor does he have any milk."
Lu Huairou:......
Lu Xueling: Thank you.
Why does it feel weird?
*
The group's task of sharing their thoughts after reading was implemented. Zhang Hu and Jiang Qinglin were responsible for collecting information, Zhu Pandi was responsible for writing the essay, and Lu Zhouzhou came to the stage to share.
After school, the group got together and discussed whose home to go to complete the task. Zhu Pandi had the task of "playing with her younger brother", so she couldn't stay too far away from home. She suggested -
"There is a small pavilion downstairs in my house. Let's go there together and write our review."
"OK."
"no problem."
The friends followed Zhu Pandi to the pavilion downstairs of her home. Her community is relatively high-end. The building has a European-style exterior design with a pointed roof, which looks very beautiful.
Jiang Qinglin asked Zhu Pandi curiously: "Your house is so nice, why doesn't your grandma buy you a book?"
Zhu Pandi looked at her younger brother and her grandmother who were playing in the distance, and whispered: "My grandmother came from the countryside after my younger brother was born. She is very frugal. When she has money, she buys delicious and fun things for her younger brother."
Jiang Qinglin came up with an idea: "If she doesn't buy you a book, you can ask your parents for it."
"Mom and Dad..."
Zhu Pandi lowered her head and remained silent.
Lu Churro saw Zhu Pandi's dilemma. She still remembered that in preschool, the Chinese teacher assigned essay topics and asked the students to write "Mom's Love" and "Dad's Love". At that time, Zhu Pandi said, Dad
Her mother doesn't like her either, she only likes her younger brother.
"Oh, don't ask." Lu Churro pulled Jiang Qinglin and ran to the nursery outside the pavilion: "The soil here is so soft, there must be earthworms! Let's dig for earthworms together."
"What are you digging for earthworms? We are here to write a review! We are not here to play!"
