Chapter 679: Chapter 679: Eating Homegrown Rice
Is there even a tiny connection between the two? Zero was so confused for a moment that he nearly burned out several CPUs.
In class, Candy and the classmates finally had their first official lesson. And the first class was Chinese.
Below the podium, the students were listening attentively to the lively and interesting lecture from the Chinese teacher. Candy, who had already studied the first-grade primary school textbook, suddenly discovered that everyone seemed familiar with the content in the book.
During the break, Candy asked a few classmates and realized that many had already learned it during the summer heat.
After finding this out, Candy was quite surprised and decided during the break that she’d get her brother to buy the second-grade textbooks.
If you secretly compete with me, I’ll definitely outdo you!
With the homeroom teacher’s deliberate arrangement, Xiang’Er still ended up as Candy’s desk mate. Seeing that Xiang’Er hadn’t reacted for a while, Candy waved a hand in front of her eyes.
"Candy, what are you thinking about? I’ve called you twice and you didn’t respond."
"Huh? Did you call me?"
Xiang’Er blinked and said, "What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Candy’s bright eyes twinkled, and she grinned, "Classmate Mo Hahan, next time if you call me Mo Xiaoxue, I’ll definitely respond."
Then, Candy whispered in Xiang’Er’s ear, "We’re the only ones still using first names in our class, it feels weird, don’t you think?"
Xiang’Er raised an eyebrow, seriously thought for a moment, then nodded, "Indeed, it does a little."
"So from now on, let’s use full names."
Mo Xiaoxue patted her small chest and said with a smile, "Absolutely."
"Mo Xiaoxue?"
"Yup~"
"Mo Hahan."
"Mm."
"Still a bit uncomfortable."
Xiang’Er fiddled with her left pinky finger, then suddenly changed the subject.
"Candy... Mo Xiaoxue, today do we really get to have cafeteria food just like the complex?"
"Definitely, Xia said so herself this morning."
Ding dong~
It’s class time again and as the bell rang, the students playing on the playground sprinted back to the classroom like in a 100-meter dash.
Watching the sweaty boys run into the classroom, Candy found it hard to understand; is the chase on the playground really that fun?
...
During the big recess, Candy experienced the joy of chasing around with classmates for the first time.
Being chased and then unable to catch up felt super exciting!
Unlike Candy, Xiang’Er stood under the tree, just watching with envy. She wanted to join in, but her gentle nature restrained her from doing so.
In the first-grade teachers’ office, a few homeroom teachers watched the running students in the playground without any intention of stopping them, with even a hint of envy in their eyes.
Such unrestricted joy.
For Chengnan Primary School, as long as it doesn’t escalate into fights, they’ve never deliberately curbed the children’s lively nature.
Kids, that’s just how they should be.
It’s probably this unique educational philosophy that makes every graduate from Chengnan Primary so popular at Second Middle School.
At noon, the dismissal bell hadn’t rung yet, but all the students were losing focus.
The aroma drifting from the cafeteria was too tempting. Not just the students, but even the teachers in class had their stomachs grumbling when they smelled it.
For a moment, both students and teachers were eagerly anticipating the new cafeteria lunch.
Meanwhile, the school’s principal and some leaders had come to sample the dishes.
Regardless of the taste, the setup itself seemed so luxurious.
The standard is three dishes and a soup, you can add more food, and everyone gets yogurt and fruit.
Looking at the aunt from Candy Technology dishing out meals at the window, Principal Wang couldn’t help but ask, "Is this the standard meal setup for Candy Technology’s complex cafeteria?"
The aunt wasn’t shy, and with a smile, said, "Are you a school leader?"
"I’m not boasting, the food is the same, but the complex has better perks."
"Aside from eating as much as you like, you can take food and enjoy various drinks too."
"These things surely can’t happen at school."
As the bell rang, while everyone rushed fast, Candy and Xiang’Er leisurely strolled to the cafeteria.
At the cafeteria entrance, Sun Yabin, transferred from the company to do finance, was watching the students running in, her eyes not missing a single short girl.
But over time, Sun Yabin became a bit doubtful.
Could she have missed it, did Candy already run into the cafeteria?
Just then, the two little ones walked over joking and chatting unhurriedly.
"Candy, come quickly."
Confused, Candy looked at the big sister in front of her.
"Sister, who are you? I don’t think I know you."
"I’m now working here as the part-time head of finance for this cafeteria."
Upon hearing this, Candy didn’t immediately believe it but asked Zero with her left hand raised.
After getting Zero’s confirmation, Candy finally believed the big sister in front of her.
Sun Yabin, watching with a constant smile, was faultless.
"Big sister, are you waiting here for me for something?"
"Ahem, we’ve prepared a small dining table for you."
"Yes, including this classmate Mo Hahan."
It was an instruction directly from Secretary Xia, and Sun Yabin dared not miss any detail, as Secretary Xia represented the boss.
"Is there something yummy?"
"There is!"
Candy and Xiang’Er exchanged glances; Xiang’Er was still a bit shy, but Candy was not shy at all, pulling Xiang’Er to walk ahead.
Eating rice from our own home, who can have a say?
At a dining table near the corner of the cafeteria, Principal Wang personally witnessed two students being taken into the kitchen.
"Principal, I know Mo Xiaoxue; who’s the student next to her? How come Sun Yabin is so polite to her too?"
Eating a chicken leg with a totally different taste than before, Principal Wang paused and said, "That student’s registration info is identical to Mo Xiaoxue’s home address, the student is named Mo Hahan, who do you think she is?"
Everyone suddenly realized, they’re childhood playmates. It seems their relationship is quite close.
In a small partition in the kitchen lay an 80cm*1cm square wooden table with four dishes and a soup, both meat and vegetables, and most importantly, it looks very appetizing.
And on a nearby counter, there were also various fruits.
Seeing the small dining table, Candy’s eyes lit up. They had one like it back home, perfect for kids to sit and eat.
"Mo Hahan, time to eat, don’t just stand there dazed."
Holding a bowl filled with rice, Candy handed it to the still-shy Xiang’Er without a second thought.
"Here, I’ll refill mine."
