The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s Chapter 1091: Starting High School (5)

Xiu Xi’s response was sowhat abrupt, and as soon as his words fell, everyone’s gaze turned towards him.

"What does this have to do with you?" asked Lu Zishu.

Ruan Lei stared at Xiu Xi. He wasn’t a kid in his teens anymore, and quite a few of his buddies had found girlfriends. If he claid he hadn’t noticed anything over the years, it definitely wouldn’t be true.

But he didn’t expect Xiu Xi to have such guts, to dare to say it directly.

He had to rember his sister was only twelve years old. Wasn’t he afraid the nine brothers would beat him to death?

Well, they might not be able to beat him, but wasn’t he being just a bit too brazen?

Sharing Ruan Lei’s sentints was Ruan Jianguo, who, upon hearing Xiu Xi’s words, wished he could glare a hole through Xiu Xi. Sorry, he didn’t rember any of the reasoning Shu Jiao had analyzed with him; all he felt was that this kid made his teeth itch with anger.

Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t think much. She knew that, so far, he saw her as the only companion in this world, so she thought they’d surely live together like this in the future. She felt he was still young and hadn’t yet grasped certain emotions. Maybe later on, when he ets his right person, he’ll understand.

"Mom, Jiaojiao’s still so young, it’s too early to talk about these," said Ruan Jianguo, frowning.

"Yeah, Grandma, it’s still early," Ruan Lei added, making one last stand.

The response from the Ruanlin Family was to serve Xiu Xi a bun, saying sweetly, "Eat more."

Xiu Xi nodded, used his hand to tear off the skin of the bun, split it open, and took out the pickled cabbage to wrap in the bun skin, passing it to Ruan Jiaojiao.

Raised so delicately, Ruan Jiaojiao beca a bit picky, eating only the bun skin, and it paired even better with pickled cabbage. Eating dumplings, she preferred the skin, so usually, Xiu Xi would separately pick these out for her to eat.

With only such a precious darling in the household, and not lacking money, the Ruan Family never stopped her.

However, this behavior that seed normal before was now rather upsetting to Ruan Jianguo.

He said to Xiu Xi, "Xiaoxi, you should eat your own food, no need to bother with Jiaojiao, there’s plenty."

"Okay," Xiu Xi replied. But after finishing a bun, he as usual tore the skin off another and wrapped pickled cabbage in it, pushing it towards Ruan Jiaojiao.

"..." Ruan Jianguo.

Stomachache!

This breakfast ended with Ruan Jianguo having a stomachache and acidity.

Although Ruan Jiaojiao refused repeatedly, she still went to school in a car under Ruan Jianguo’s strong insistence.

In the early 90s, while so people got rich, many still lived in poverty. Like the first-grade class Ruan Jiaojiao attended initially, they started with more than thirty students, but by third grade, at least half had left school and went south to work.

By third grade, they even directly restructured from four classes into two.

The current high school combined junior high school divisions across the whole city, and only twenty-so students from Ruan Jiaojiao’s junior high school division went up to high school, while others dropped out, or went to vocational or technical schools.

So when Ruan Jianguo’s car parked at the school entrance, it imdiately attracted a lot of attention.

People stared at them curiously or enviously. Xiu Xi, Ruan Jiaojiao, and Ruan Lei sat in the back; Xiu Xi got off first, imdiately drawing a lot of attention.
