Chapter 13 I don’t want to be a girl!
The hustle and bustle of summer is always accompanied by the chirping of cicadas, and the old times of 1998 are gradually becoming hot.
In the yard of the government kindergarten.
Xu Cheng held his cheek helplessly, watching a few ignorant little boys exchange their experiences in "sword practice" and occasionally compete with each other in fencing.
Yes, that's the fencing you were thinking of.
As Children's Day was approaching, the teacher began to rehearse the program with the children, and Xu Cheng was forced to wear the same colorful one-piece tights as them.
Apparently, Xu Cheng was not the only little boy in Buchuan Neiku. The tight clothes made it very convenient for them to discuss swordsmanship. The ignorant little boys just thought it was fun and did not feel ashamed .
"You pants-wetting guy, take my sword!" Li Qiuyang saw Xu Cheng coming and drew his sword to chop him.
Xu Cheng was so frightened by him that he broke out in a cold sweat. He shouted "Get out!" with a chill and kicked him away.
"Wow, teacher, Xu Cheng bullied me again~", Li Qiuyang brushed the dust off his butt and ran towards Teacher Xiaoyang's office while crying.
Xu Cheng was not worried. The teachers were already used to Li Qiuyang pestering them to report Xu Cheng. As long as she didn't make too much trouble, they basically didn't bother to say anything about her.
In the afternoon, Xu Cheng returned home. He Ying and Xu Jianghe were both at home. The clothes they wore were different from what they usually wore. It was obvious that they had dressed up carefully.
Both my parents are very knowledgeable about the ways of the world. They know that Gao Manman had helped He Ying in her promotion, so they had to go and thank her.
He Ying was playing with her hair and posing in front of the mirror. "Old Xu, do I need to buy a special dress in the future? Do you think I look good in this one?"
"Beautiful, beautiful, my wife looks beautiful in anything she wears."
Xu Cheng rolled his eyes. Fortunately, he did not inherit his father's straight male aesthetic. He suggested, "Mom, how about I help you put together an outfit?"
"Okay, you come and dress up mom!"
Xu Cheng rummaged through boxes and drawers to put together a set of clothes for He Ying and threw them on the bed. A light pink cape, a white shirt underneath, a beige short skirt, a pair of black stockings, and finally a pair of white high heels.
It is more appropriate to wear clothes such as sweaters and skirts in casual occasions. While being dignified and elegant, you won’t appear too eye-catching. After all, you are visiting someone else’s home suddenly, and you can’t want to overshadow the host.
He Ying dressed quickly; her figure was still intact. Xu Cheng's outfit was casual yet fashionable, and she looked very impressive. However, her hair was tied up and fell along her left shoulder, which made Xu Cheng not very satisfied.
"Mom, your hairstyle looks very dangerous!"
At Xu Cheng's strong suggestion, He Ying combed her hair into a more common shawl. Xu Jianghe smiled and said, "Son, we are equal in genders, pick one for dad too."
Xu Cheng looked at his black suit and saw that he had not made the basic mistake of wearing more than three colors on his clothes. " Dad , just take off your tie."
Living in the same community, visiting each other is actually just a matter of going up and down the stairs.
Xu Cheng knocked on the door of Lin Wanzhou's house and quickly opened it. Standing inside the door was a strange man, who should be Lin Wanzhou's father.
Lin Wanzhou poked her head out from behind and politely greeted He Ying and Xu Jianghe, "Hello, auntie, hello, uncle."
Lin Wanzhou's father welcomed the family into the house with a smile. Gao Manman also came out to greet them with a smile on her face, but she looked at the two bottles of red wine brought by the Xu family and refused to accept them.
Sending wine was the idea of the two adults. Xu Cheng gave them some advice and asked them to prepare a spare gift for Lin Wanzhou.
"Here, this is for you."
Lin Wanzhou took the Pink Panther doll that Xu Cheng gave her, and a strange light flashed in her eyes. "Xu Cheng, how did you know that I have wanted this for a long time? Thank you."
Xu Cheng smiled but said nothing. That time in the toy store, Lin Wanzhou stared at this for a long time, and Xu Cheng guessed that she liked it very much.
"It must have been deduced!" Lin Wanzhou looked at Xu Cheng with admiration, which made Xu Cheng feel quite embarrassed.
"Ahahaha, to some extent that's true..."
The adults were polite for a long time, but in the end Gao Manman took decisive action and made the final decision, inviting the three members of the Xu family to stay at home for dinner and drink the wine during dinner.
"Uncle and aunt, my mother's cooking is also very good. You can have dinner at my house." Lin Wanzhou tilted his neck and imitated the tone of an adult to enthusiastically invite Xu Cheng's parents.
"It's Lin Wanzhou... So cute!" He Ying had seen Lin Wanzhou before, but she only took a quick glance when she went to pick up Xu Cheng. This was the first time she had the opportunity to come into direct contact with Lin Wanzhou.
"I'm sorry to bother you, Director Gao."
After agreeing to stay for a simple meal, several people sat on the sofa. He Ying simply couldn't let go of the polite and lovely Lin Wanzhou, and rubbed Lin Wanzhou's head with loving eyes.
"Ah, girls are indeed cute, well-behaved, sensible, and caring. It would be nice if Xu Cheng was also a little girl..."
"Xu Cheng's mother, it's not too late now!" Gao Manman said from the side.
ha?
Xu Cheng, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly felt a chill in his crotch.
I am so angry! You crazy adults, what do you want to do to a tough guy like me?
Gao Manman continued to explain to Xu Jianghe and He Ying, "You are still young, and you can have a second child in time."
Xu Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was too scary to leave the words unsaid!
He Ying and Xu Jianghe looked at each other and smiled awkwardly, " Director Gao, you are joking. Old Xu and I are now at an age where we are busy with our careers. It is tiring enough to take care of Xu Cheng alone. How can we have the energy to give Xu Cheng a brother or sister?"
It was the same in the previous life. Xu Cheng was an only child, so there was no possibility that he could be reborn and send his brothers and sisters back into his belly.
Gao Manman went to cook, while Lin Wanzhou's father and Xu Cheng's parents sat on the sofa and chatted.
"Xu Cheng's mother, have you decided which elementary school Xu Cheng will go to?"
"Our Xu Cheng can only go to Chengguan Primary School. It's too difficult to get into Experimental Primary School. The admission ratio is more than 10 to 1, and it also depends on the admission scores. I heard that if the admission test scores are not good, they will say in front of you that your child has a low IQ."
Experimental Primary School is the strongest school in Jinghai City, without a doubt. It dominates the joint examinations among more than a dozen primary schools in Jinghai City. It not only has strong faculty, but also elegant environment. Naturally, parents are scrambling to send their children there.
The school had a limited number of students to begin with, and a large portion of the places were taken by students with connections. The remaining places were all based on academic performance. So, they didn't have much hope for Xu Cheng, He Ying, and Xu Jianghe, who were not very smart in kindergarten.
"Xu Cheng's parents, your idea is wrong. It is difficult to get into a good school, which just shows its value. No matter what we do as parents, we can't let our children lose at the starting line." Lin Wanzhou's father persuaded Xu Cheng's parents in a soft voice.
"Auntie, I also want Xu Cheng to go to the same elementary school as me." Lin Wanzhou said to He Ying with hope in his eyes.
"Ah...Xu Cheng, do you want to go to Experimental Primary School?"
Xu Cheng coughed twice.
"Mom, I think I can probably, maybe, possibly, pass that entrance exam..."
