Chapter 411 - 412: Why Is It So Old?
Upon hearing the compliment, Helian Qiao replied in her high-pitched, sweet voice, "That’s right, I’m going to school too."
Children who were familiar with Chen Dabao saw the backpacks they were carrying and envied them, asking, "Dabao, Erbao, where did you get these backpacks?"
The backpacks looked so stylish!
Chen Erbao held his backpack strap with pride and bragged, "We bought them at the co-op. They cost two dollars and fifty cents each! All the kids in the city use this kind of backpack for school!"
Upon hearing that all the city kids carried this backpack, the boys immediately clamored their parents for one: "I want one too, mom, buy me one!"
"Mom, I want that kind of backpack too!"
The street instantly erupted with cries of children begging for new backpacks, crying and making a fuss if their demands were not immediately met.
Those from well-off families agreed without much hesitation, "Okay, as long as you listen to your teacher, I’ll get you one in a few days!"
The children being brought to school were the pride and joy of their families. The adults, with no way to resist, didn’t want to feel outdone by other families.
