Xiao Bao usually listens to Zhou Xiaoyun's words, but his craving has been hooked and he really wants a drink.

  When Zhou Xiaoyun was present, he didn't dare to want it again. However, when Zhou Xiaoyun went to Wang Jingjing's house to play in the afternoon, he urged his brother Dabao to sneak into the room and open a bottle of soda, with each of them having one bottle.

  So, Zhou Xiaoyun's tea stall is a big hit with Da Bao and Xiao Bao brothers. In the past, who would have thought of drinking soda openly like this? I reckon if Zhao Yuzhen could drink it once a week, that would be considered generous already.

  Zhou Xiaoyun naturally didn't know any of this, and after finishing her lunch she went to Wang Jingjing's home.

  She had promised Wang Jingjing something in the morning and she would naturally keep her promise. Moreover, staying at home every day was indeed a bit boring, so going out for a stroll wasn't bad either.

  Wang Jingjing and Zhou Xiaoyun's homes were just five or six households apart, and she walked there in just a few steps.

  When I arrived at Wang Jingjing's home, they hadn't finished their lunch yet. The whole family was still gathered around the dinner table!

  Zhou Xiaoyun politely declined Wang Jingjing's parents' kind offer to come and have a bowl of food, repeatedly explaining that she had already eaten her fill at home. She couldn't help but feel regretful in her heart, thinking that it was really unfortunate timing. If only she had stayed at home for a little while longer. Look at how awkward things are now!

  It's not surprising that Zhou Xiaoyun's timing was a bit off, as she usually had lunch later than others. However, Wang Jingjing's mother ran a tailor shop at home and often made clothes, bedding, and curtains for people, so it was common for her to have lunch at one or two o'clock when she got busy.

  Standing in someone's house watching them eat lunch is really an uncomfortable thing, mainly because Zhou Xiaoyun was not very at ease.

  Wang Jingjing was quite happy, originally, Zhou Xiaoyun was notorious for being lazy, it was always her companions who went to find her to play, who had ever seen Zhou Xiaoyun take the initiative to come out and find her little friends to play.

  Thinking of this, Wang Jingjing felt a little complacent, it seemed that her friendship with Zhou Xiaoyun was still the best!

  Wang Jingjing's father, Wang Kang, still remembers the scene of Zhou Xiaoyun doing business in the market that morning. In front of Wang Jingjing's mother, Yu Cailian, he praised Zhou Xiaoyun: "Look at Zhou Laoer's eldest daughter, she is one year younger than our Jingjing, and she has set up a tea stall in the market, doing business and calculating accounts in an orderly manner. This girl looks like she will make something of herself."

  Cui Lian had long heard Wang Jingjing mention it at home many times, so she was also very familiar with the children in this village. Among so many children of the same age, Zhou Xiaoyun, who was slightly younger, was the most clever and clever. Not to mention other things, just looking at speaking and doing things is different from others.

  Look, one by one, they're all addressing me as "Auntie" and "Uncle", how polite. They speak with such ease and propriety, almost catching up with the adults.

  Yu Cuilian heard Wang Kang praising Zhou Xiaoyun and couldn't help but take an interest, asking the standing-in-the-corner Zhou Xiaoyun: "Da Ya, how's business at the market? How much money can you make in one gathering?"

  Why do adults always like to ask this kind of question?

  Zhou Xiaoyun felt a bit of a headache and, not wanting to draw attention to herself, wisely stood in the corner waiting for it to pass. How did the topic turn to her again? Besides, how was she supposed to answer this question?

  If you say too little, people won't believe you.

  To be honest? Even worse, some people are jealous of her and wonder what other business she is doing.

  To know that doing business is just a small matter, it's originally a small business, and adults all look down on it and let the children pick it up. If you tell Yu Cuilian that one market can earn over ten or twenty yuan, next time there will be three or five tea stalls coming out.

  Zhou Xiaoyun thought for a moment before giving a vague reply: "I just stay at home with nothing to do, so I set up a small tea stall in the market to sell some drinks and accompany my dad. It's also convenient for my siblings to drink soda at home. In the future, if Jingjing wants to drink soda, she can come to my house and I won't charge her."

  Yu Cailian was surprised by Zhou Xiaoyun's evasive answer, but she didn't dare to ask further. Besides, Zhou Xiaoyun had already been very considerate of Wang Jingjing by saying so much.

  Wang Jingjing happily said she would go there often from now on.

  Provoked by Cui Lian's disapproving gaze, Wang Jingjing actually took the polite words to heart. If she really goes there every day, how can they do business?

  Zhou Xiaoyun understood the implication in Yu Cui's eyes and helped her good friend out of the awkward situation: "Auntie, Jingjing and I have been classmates for two years and are also good friends. I'm not being polite to her just for show. What I said earlier was all from the heart. In the future, let Jingjing come visit me more often."

  Wang Kang couldn't help but nod his head, this speech was indeed flawless and left nothing to be desired.

  Cui Lian smiled and said, "Dà yā, our Jīng Jīng is close to you, we adults are also happy. Let Jīng Jīng learn from you more, if she can be half as good at speaking and doing things as you, we will be satisfied."

  Wow, what a big sugar-coated cannonball!

  "Look at what you're saying, I'm blushing. I'm not as good as you say, Jingjing is lively and lovely, unlike me who doesn't like to talk and is like a boring cucumber that nobody likes."

  Her good friend and her mother had several clashes, but Wang Jingjing was completely unaware of it, smiling and listening to them.

  Ting Yu Cui Lian praised Zhou Xiao Yun, Wang Jing Jing was also proud. When Zhou Xiao Yun praised herself, Wang Jing Jing couldn't help but smile from ear to ear and laugh foolishly.

  Yu Cuilian and Zhou Xiaoyun were chatting, glancing sideways to see Wang Jingjing's silly expression, and secretly sighed in her heart. As children, their own family's child and the daughter of the Zhou family were vastly different.

  Whose child is not precious in their parents' hearts?

  In front of others, it's not good to boast about Wang Jingjing, but I still think my daughter is quite lovely and lively. However, compared with Zhou Xiaoyun in the same class, this is simply not on the same level, and cannot be mentioned in the same breath.

  When Yu Cui Lian realized this, she still felt a bit awkward in her heart.

  Zhou Xiaoyun's proper response finally made Yu Cuilian feel a bit more at ease, and what she said afterwards was sincere. If Wang Jingjing often stays with Zhou Xiaoyun, it would be good for her to learn from Xiaoyun's good qualities and become more sensible and capable over time.

  Women are all narrow-minded, like Wang Kang didn't even think about these things, he actually admired Zhou Xiaoyun. Such a young child yet doing business like a little adult made Wang Kang very appreciative.

  When Wang Jingjing announced that dinner was over, Zhou Xiaoyun finally felt relieved.

  It's really tiring to talk to adults, Zhou Xiaoyun thought. It's better to be a kid after all. No heart eyes, no implicit meaning, nothing to consider, nothing to pay attention to, just say what you want to say, how easy and carefree.

  Zhou Xiaoyun and Wang Jingjing went into the house to play.

  Wang Jingjing and her younger brother each had their own room. Her room was about the same size as Zhou Xiaoyun's, but decorated differently. Wang Jingjing learned to fold paper cranes with Zhou Xiaoyun for a while, but she didn't have much patience and stopped after folding two that weren't very pretty.

  Zhou Xiaoyun saw no other tasks and folded paper cranes for Wang Jingjing instead.

  Wang Jingjing found some New Year's paintings at home and folded paper cranes with Zhou Xiaoyun.

  After folding for an afternoon, King Jingjing folded a big pile of them, strung them together with thread into a long string and wrapped it around the headboard, which was also very pretty. Wang Jingjing was overjoyed.
