Chapter 836: Proctoring for the Olympiad (8)
Shu Jie was taking the bus, so there was only the Ruanlin lady in Ruan Jianguo’s car. Zhao Li came over to keep her company, both sitting in the back seat, with Lu Zhiwei driving. His vehicle was absent of a wife, filled only with air. He stared at Ruan Jianguo’s car that was flauntingly driving ahead the entire way, so infuriating that it almost made him spit blood.
So what was he really following them in his car for? To show off in the provincial capital that he had a vehicle? Or did he think burning gas wasn’t expensive enough?
The happiest person on this trip was none other than Ruan Jiaojiao. Initially, she thought she would spend her birthday away from home without her family, which felt quite unusual. Never had she anticipated that the entire family would end up going to Changling for fun.
Seated in the car, since she wasn’t tall enough, her little legs couldn’t reach the floor and just dangled in mid-air. But even so, the swinging arc of her legs was a happy one.
The students in the car were all quite curious about her, especially since she and Xiu Xi had already drawn a lot of attention when they boarded.
In this era, being able to study was already a fortunate thing. Ordinary families wouldn’t fuss over clothing; if you could get a new outfit for the New Year, that was joy enough.
But Ruan Jiaojiao was wearing the latest fashion—denim overalls—a luxury that could cost a family several months’ salary, and perhaps couldn’t even be found in their small town.
Then there was the hair clip on her head, which was so pretty it shone brightly. Compared to a crowd of students in drab attire, she stood out spectacularly, especially with a delicate young man with green eyes at her side.
