Chapter 597 "Dad won't let us study."

That night, Fu Xiaoxiao and her brother Fu Xiaohang stayed at Jiang Yuan's house.

Fu Xiaohang stayed in the guest room, while Fu Xiaoxiao followed Jiang Yuan back to her room.

After the two finished showering and lay in bed, Jiang Yuan brought up the matter of replying to Meng Yunlan's message on behalf of Fu Xiaohang.

Fu Xiaoxiao clapped her hands and cheered, "Great! Meng Yunlan probably thinks he's so great. I'm really looking forward to seeing how shocked we are when we find out she's Xiao Hang's girlfriend."

Jiang Yuan smiled knowingly. "I guess that's really what she thinks."

"Oh, that makes me even more excited." Fu Xiaoxiao rolled over, gazing at Jiang Yuan's profile in the dim light. "By the way, Yuan Yuan, what do you think of Xiao Xu?"

Jiang Yuan raised her eyebrows slightly. "Xu is a nice guy. What's wrong?"

"I wonder if she has any plans to date." Fu Xiaoxiao lay on the bed, her eyes bright. "I want to introduce Xiaohang to her. That guy seems really interested in dating. Rather than letting him be fooled by other girls, I'd rather introduce him to someone reliable."

Hearing what she said, Jiang Yuan thought it made sense. "Okay, I'll find an opportunity to ask for you."

"Then it's up to you!" Fu Xiaoxiao pouted and blew a kiss.

Jiang Yuan said helplessly, "You, you clearly care about Xiao Hang a lot, but you always act like you don't care about him at all."

"I don't care about him at all." Fu Xiaoxiao snorted and lay back down. "Alright, time to sleep. I have to go grocery shopping with Aunt Rui tomorrow morning."

Jiang Yuan asked in surprise, "Are you really going?"

“I’m going, I have to go.” Fu Xiaoxiao said firmly, “I’ve already made a promise to Aunt Rui, I can’t go back on my word.”

Jiang Yuan paused for two seconds, then asked, "Can I not go?"

“Okay,” Fu Xiaoxiao said with a smile. “Xiaohang and I will go with Aunt Rui.”

I slept soundly through the night, and the alarm clock rang precisely at seven o'clock.

Jiang Yuan was woken up by the alarm clock and slowly opened her eyes.

She turned her head and saw Fu Xiaoxiao sleeping soundly, completely unaware of the alarm clock.

Jiang Yuan chuckled, turned off the alarm clock, and patted her arm. "Xiaoxiao, wake up."

"Hmm?" Fu Xiaoxiao opened her eyes a crack, still half asleep, and adjusted her sleeping position.

"The alarm clock is ringing, time to get up."

"I'll sleep a little longer."

Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow. "Then Xiao Hang and I will go grocery shopping with my mom."

After saying that, she rolled over and got out of bed.

She had only taken a few steps after putting on her slippers when Fu Xiaoxiao suddenly sat up abruptly, calling out in a thick nasal voice, "Wait for me!"

She quickly threw off the covers and jumped out of bed.

Fifteen minutes later, the two changed into casual clothes and came downstairs wearing dark red and light pink baseball caps.

"Good morning, Auntie and Sister Xiaoxiao!"

Good morning, Auntie! Good morning, Xiaoxiao!

Zhanzhan and Momo, dressed in their kindergarten uniforms, looked up with their clean, porcelain-white faces and called out to people.

"Good morning, my dear Zhanzhan and Momo." Fu Xiaoxiao gently pinched the two little ones' soft cheeks with her fingertips and said with a smile, "Aren't you happy to see me?"

"Happy!" Zhanzhan nodded his little head vigorously.

"I'm so happy." Momo held her hand and said in a childish voice, "My brother and I will be even happier if we can see Sister Xiaoxiao when we come back from school!" Fu Xiaoxiao was overjoyed by the little girl's coaxing and nodded vigorously to promise, "Sure, I won't leave tonight. I'll wait for you to come back from school and play together."

Zhanzhan's eyes lit up, and a smile spread across her face.

Momo raised her little hand, excitedly spinning around and cheering, "Yay! Yay! I can play with Sister Xiaoxiao, that's great!"

"You can head to school now. Pack your backpacks and say goodbye to everyone," Jiang Die gently reminded him.

Zhanzhan and Momo obediently put on their little backpacks and waved to each other.

Fu Xiaoxiao watched the two small figures walk out, glanced at the clock on the wall, and frowned, saying, "It's already 7:30. Fu Xiaohang is so unreliable."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Xiaohang's energetic voice rang out, "I'm here! Good morning, everyone!"

Fu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him. "You're late."

"Not late, 7:30, just in time!" Fu Xiaohang looked at Deng Rui and grinned, "Aunt Rui, don't you think so?"

"Yes, that's perfect." Deng Rui said, carrying her shopping basket. "Let's go then."

Fu Xiaohang, with his keen perception, reached out and took the shopping basket, saying, "Aunt Rui, let me carry it."

The four drove to the largest agricultural wholesale market in the vicinity.

Deng Rui stopped in front of a pomegranate stall.

The others also stopped.

Fu Xiaohang followed her gaze and, thinking Deng Rui wanted to buy pomegranates, said, "Aunt Rui, do you want to buy pomegranates? Let's go to the supermarket later; the fruit there is of better quality."

"Quiet down." Fu Xiaoxiao reached out and pinched him. "Aunt Rui must have her reasons for buying here."

Fu Xiaohang pouted and nodded obediently, "Okay, I won't say anything more."

Jiang Yuan discovered that the pomegranate sellers were two children. The girl was the older sister, who looked to be about ten years old. Her long hair was casually draped over her shoulders, with the ends tangled in a mess. The boy was not tall, about the same age as Zhan Zhan, and his hair was so long that it covered his eyes.

But isn't today Monday?
Deng Rui also thought of this and gently reminded her, "Little friend, it's already past eight o'clock. Why are you still selling pomegranates here? Go to school and have class."

The little girl shook her head timidly and said, "Auntie, we don't go to school. Do you want to buy pomegranates? Our pomegranates are big and sweet, and only five yuan a pound!"

"You didn't go to school?" Deng Rui frowned, her tone becoming more anxious. "Why didn't you go to school? You're at the age where you should be studying. You can't make money selling guavas."

A hint of disappointment flashed in the little girl's eyes. She pursed her lips and remained silent.

The little boy next to me, holding a bag of soda crackers, whispered, "Dad won't let us go to school."

"Why?" Deng Rui asked, her face showing dissatisfaction.

Fu Xiaoxiao felt both absurd and heartbroken, and her tone became a little harsher, "What are your parents thinking? They won't let you go to school? What's the use of selling these pomegranates here? You should go to school and learn knowledge so that you will have a chance to change your destiny in the future."

Fu Xiaohang chimed in, "Yes, yes! We must study!"

The little girl's eyes dimmed, and she slowly lowered her head, looking listless, like a lifeless clay doll.

The little boy looked up at the adults in front of him, his eyes filled with pure innocence and wonder. "Auntie, do you want to buy pomegranates?"

"Little friends, where are your parents?" Jiang Yuan asked softly.

The little boy was about to speak when his sister stopped him.

The little girl reached out and covered her younger brother's mouth, then looked up at Jiang Yuan and his group, her tone suddenly becoming a bit fierce, "It's none of your business! If you're not going to buy pomegranates, then don't block our stall!"
