Chapter 413: Chapter 203: Four Years (Part 2)
Four years flashed by in an instant. For many people, four years is a long time, but for Su Jiameng, who lives each day as if racing against time, it’s really too short. It seems like just yesterday when they hurriedly bid farewell to graduation...
Wanting to leave a back road for her two children, she had Uncle Changxi and the others expand the restaurant business, with as many branches as possible being a good thing. Upon hearing the news, the first thing K3 and the others did was raise their hands to persuade Su Jiameng to open the first branch on Xilena Planet. No reason other than the fact that they were absolutely fed up with the Xilena Academy’s cafeteria. For those whose tastes were spoiled by Aunt Su Mo, how could they tolerate those foods?
Although Su Jiameng was quite powerful in her previous life, that strength was only limited to fighting on the battlefield and killing the Insect Race. As for doing business, she was a complete novice. Her two self-reliant intelligent robots, however, are experts, so she left it all to them.
Considering that she was completely hands-off, she didn’t know the current state of the restaurant.
Since the last mixed battle with Cui Hu and others, she gained an astronomical fortune in just one transaction. However, the credit points in her account were so numerous that even tossing the restaurant’s annual revenue into it seemed to make no visible change to the initial digits, leading her to ignore it altogether. As long as she knew the restaurant didn’t lose money each year, she didn’t care about its income, as she definitely wouldn’t live in poverty.
Currently, the family of Su Jiameng still lives in the house they bought before. Several batches of neighbors had moved away, yet their family remained unmoved like a mountain, gradually becoming alienated from the neighborhood. Many nearby residents only knew that this household had people living in it, but had never seen the owner. Instead, the two children of this household were sweet and adorable, affectionate with everyone they met, endearing themselves to all.
Now both "little buns" officially stepped into the age of five two months ago, which means they can start school next semester. Kindergarten life was too boring, and the two little buns persevered until they could finally say goodbye to the childish kindergarten days.
"Finally free! Brother, we graduated!" With a small backpack, Huaifeng obediently held his brother’s hand, reluctantly saying goodbye to the kindergarten teacher. However, as soon as they stepped around the kindergarten corner, exiting the teacher’s sight, Huaifeng tossed his bag high into the sky with exaggerated laughter on his face.
Huaixi stood nearby with his baby-fat, chubby face, raising his hand to catch the bag as it fell from the sky—directly onto the head of a Little Bear—and thought to himself that he must tell Aunt Su Mo and Uncle Changxi to let Xiao Feng watch fewer nonsensical dramas! Tossing a bag after graduation is whatever, but throwing it straight up is just silly...
Besides, in this three-dimensional world, showing such exaggerated laughter would make others think you came straight out of a mental hospital.
With the expression modeled after Gu Ningxuan, Huaixi’s inner critique continued rolling like a bullet screen at this somewhat dense younger brother of his, whom he could now face calmly. In Uncle Gu’s words, this marks the growth of a man, enduring what others cannot.
"Yes, graduated. Aunt Su Mo said there will be a big meal waiting at home." Huaixi held his brother’s hand and headed to where the flying devices were kept, instructed the robot to bring down the Flying Disc from his locker, opened it, and started the autonomous driving mode, "Get on, we’re going home."
Little Bear Huaifeng crawled onto the disc, obediently fastening his seatbelt once seated. Hearing about the big meal, his whole little face lit up. But soon it dimmed, and he hesitantly asked, "Will mom come back? Today is our graduation day after all..."
Huaixi adjusted his brother’s seatbelt and then pressed the pre-set flight path button, looking at the flying disc’s opened protective shield, somewhat uncertainly replied, "Aunt Su Mo said mom is very busy, probably... won’t make it back..."
Huaifeng lowered his head in deep disappointment, even his cowlick on his head trembled, "But mom hasn’t come back for a long time... didn’t she say she’d come back on our graduation day? She’s lying!"
"Mom is very busy, you have to understand." Huaixi raised his hand to smoothen the cowlick on his brother’s head, only to watch it pop right back up, "Even if she can’t make it back now, when we start the primary school, mom will definitely come back."
In the interstellar future world, ages three to seven are the enlightenment stage, basically kindergarten. Then from age eight, they start primary school, which consists of six school years. After primary, there are intermediate and advanced levels, each also lasting six years.
