I Want To Go To the Best Kindergarten in the World! (1)

Sometimes, Jiang Xiaoman couldn’t catch Jiang Xing’s shadow even though she woke up early, and he only came home at night when she was already asleep.

His shoes and the hem of his trousers were always covered in mud. The way the dirt-covered all over his body made him seem even dirtier than the old cow that liked to roll in the mud.

Because he was so tired, even when he managed to see her, he never had the time to play with her anymore. He just went to clean up, get some sleep, then continued repeating the same thing the next day.

Uncle had worked hard.

In just a few days, his cheeks sank and he looked a lot thinner and very tired. His hair was messy, and dark, prickly stubbles were growing on his cheek, but the person himself looked more spirited than ever.

Grandma said that that was exactly what a young man should be like. Let him keep doing it, only with a lot of work would life get better.

Jiang Xiaoman had no choice but to encourage him too.

She took the initiative to pick up his clothes and followed behind Jiang Xiumei’s butt as she went to the river to wash the clothes.

The children in town were not allowed to go play by the riverside, so she had very few opportunities to play with water. It was very rare that she got to go to the river and openly play there, so she was very happy. She planned to catch some small fish and shrimps to take home after washing the clothes.

But her calculations quickly fell apart because Jiang Xing’s clothes were all muddy and very difficult to wash. She gritted her teeth and use all her strength but still couldn’t wash them clean.

The mud had clumped together and stubbornly clung to the clothes. She couldn’t get them off even after rubbing, twisting, and pulling the clothes.

She took off her shoes and jumped and stomped on the clothes, making exciting sounds, and having an overall great time.

Jiang Xiumei sent her away, “Okay, that’s enough, let me do the rest. Don’t play with water and catch a cold.”

There was nothing she could do about it, so she could only play with her fingers sadly and returned to the shore.

The water there was shallow, when she sat on a black rock, the water only reached her little feet. She happily splashed the water a few times and felt that it was a bit amusing, and no longer thought about stomping on the clothes.

After she stayed there for a while, she began to grow bored again.

She had a lot of things in her mind.

“Mr. System, I don’t want Uncle to work this hard.” She started chatting with the system.

“I also don’t want this.” The system answered her honestly. “I wish he stayed like he was before, someone who does nothing but eats and waits to die.”

Unfortunately, it was too late now. The system was also very depressed.

Jiang Xiaoman cupped her face and sighed softly. “Mr. System, when can Uncle come home?”

The system also didn’t know the answer and remained silent.

Speak of the devil1.

She was just talking about him when Jiang Xing came.

He was still full of mud and was walking towards the river while carrying something in his hand.

When he got closer, Xiaoman could finally see what he was holding.

“Ah, it’s a honeycomb!” Her eyes sparkled and she made a gulping sound as she swallowed her saliva. This was her favorite food along with the chocolates that Uncle usually bought for her from the city.

But this fresh honeycomb was even harder to get than chocolate. You couldn’t buy it, it could only be found by chance, and she rarely got to eat it.

“Little girl, you’re lucky.” His eyelids were swollen after being stung when taking the honeycomb. He half lifted his eyelids and handed her the honeycomb, then sat next to her.

Both his legs entered the river, and the hem of his trousers that was full of mud was quickly washed by the river’s water, causing turbid colored ripples.

The honeycomb smelled very sweet.

Jiang Xiaoman closed her eyes in satisfaction and sucked down on it hard. Her mouth was instantly filled with rich and fragrant honey, and she opened her eyes.

“Uncle, why are you back so soon today?”

“The work is done, so of course I went home.” The exhausted Jiang Xing said.

He was honestly very tired and wanted to just go home straight away and go to sleep. But he was afraid that if he had taken the honeycomb home, he wouldn’t be able to hold himself back and eat it all, not even leaving any scraps for Jiang Xiaoman. So, he had no choice but to go all the way here to find them.

Xiaoman’s eyes lit up. “So you don’t need to work anymore?”
