Chapter 41 A Joyful First Day of School
Chapter 41 A Joyful First Day of School
School started, and the school gates welcomed students and parents with great enthusiasm. At this time, Liu Yixin and Li Shiqing, two quirky girls, embarked on their familiar journey to school.
Liu Yixin skipped along, carrying her backpack with a cute bear pattern, humming a little tune. "Shi Qing, do you think anything fun will happen since school starts?"
Li Shiqing rolled her eyes at her and said helplessly, "All you do is play. Don't you even know how much homework we have to do with the start of the new semester?"
"Oh well, homework? I'll take my time. Maybe the teacher will assign less homework this semester," Liu Yixin said nonchalantly, her eyes darting around.
The two arrived at school and, looking at the familiar campus and their classmates busily working, couldn't help but marvel at how quickly time had passed. Although the day's classes were somewhat monotonous, these two lively girls could always find some fun in them.
After finally getting through school, the two were discussing where to go when they suddenly saw Li Yuan's younger brother, their uncle, standing at the school gate. The uncle was tall and thin, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and looked a bit like a bookworm, but he was actually a very humorous person.
"Hey, you two little girls, look here!" Uncle waved his hand and shouted.
Liu Yixin and Li Shiqing's eyes lit up, and they quickly ran over.
"Uncle, what brings you here?" Li Shiqing asked curiously.
Liu Yixin nodded and said, "Yes, Uncle."
My uncle smiled mysteriously and said, "I'll take you to a fun place."
"What fun places are there?" Liu Yixin asked eagerly.
Li Shiqing asked blankly, "Where are we going, Uncle?"
"You'll find out when you get there," the uncle said, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense.
The three of them arrived at a fast food restaurant. As soon as they entered, Liu Yixin was attracted by the delicious aroma.
"Wow, it smells so good! Uncle, can we eat lots of delicious food?" Liu Yixin looked at her uncle with longing eyes.
Uncle smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course you can. Do you remember when Yixin had her birthday, Uncle said he wanted to go out and have a meal with you? Since your parents were at work, Uncle picked you up. You can eat whatever you want."
Li Shiqing, however, was more reserved and said, "Uncle, we can't eat too much, or we'll get fat."
"What do you mean by fat? You're all growing right now, it's okay for you to eat more," Uncle said with a big wave of his hand.
So the two girls started ordering their favorite foods. Liu Yixin ordered a large hamburger, fries, and a Coke. Li Shiqing ordered a chicken wrap, a juice, and an egg tart.
When the food was served, Liu Yixin couldn't wait to take a big bite of the hamburger, and her mouth was stuffed full, like a little hamster.
"Haha, Yixin, eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you," Li Shiqing said with a laugh.
Liu Yixin mumbled, "This hamburger is so delicious, I couldn't resist."
The uncle looked at the two of them and couldn't help but laugh. "You two little gluttons, eat slowly, don't choke."
After finishing their fast food, their uncle took them to the claw machine. Liu Yixin's eyes widened when she saw the adorable plush toys.
"Uncle, I want to play the claw machine!" Liu Yixin said excitedly.
"Okay, then you can give it a try." The uncle exchanged some game tokens for them.
Liu Yixin was the first to try. She gripped the joystick nervously, her eyes fixed on her favorite pink teddy bear. But after several attempts, she couldn't catch it.
"Oh dear, why is it so hard to catch?" Liu Yixin said, somewhat frustrated.
Li Shiqing comforted her from the side: "Don't worry, Yixin, I'll give it a try."
Li Shiqing carefully manipulated the joystick, aiming at a small blue bunny doll. However, she failed to catch it.
"This claw machine is such a rip-off!" Li Shiqing complained.
My uncle smiled and said, "There's a technique to winning at claw machines; you can't rush it. You see, you have to observe the position of the plush toy first, and then find the right moment to strike."
As he spoke, the uncle demonstrated for himself. He easily caught a doll.
"Wow, Uncle is amazing!" Liu Yixin and Li Shiqing exclaimed in unison.
Under their uncle's guidance, the two girls tried a few more times and finally managed to grab their favorite dolls. Liu Yixin grabbed the pink teddy bear doll, and Li Shiqing grabbed a yellow duck doll.
"Haha, we did it!" Liu Yixin jumped up with joy.
Li Shiqing also smiled happily. "Uncle, thank you, I'm so happy today."
The uncle patted their heads and said, "As long as you're happy. I'll bring you here to play again when I have time."
Then, they strolled around the mall for a while. Liu Yixin saw an ice cream shop and couldn't resist the urge to eat some.
"Uncle, I want to eat ice cream," Liu Yixin said, tugging at her uncle's clothes.
My uncle smiled helplessly and said, "Alright, I'll buy you one then. But you can't eat too many, or you'll get a stomachache."
Liu Yixin and Li Shiqing each held an ice cream and ate it with great relish.
"This ice cream is so delicious, I wish I could eat it every day," Liu Yixin said.
Li Shiqing rolled her eyes at her and said, "All you know is eating. Be careful you don't turn into a little fatso."
"It's okay if I become a little fat girl, I'm cute anyway," Liu Yixin said nonchalantly.
After shopping, their uncle drove them home. The two girls excitedly discussed the day's fun events the whole way.
"Today was so much fun! Will Uncle take us again next time?" Liu Yixin asked.
Li Shiqing said, "Of course, my uncle is so good."
When they got home, the two girls put the plush toys they had won that day on their bed and looked at them with great satisfaction.
"What a beautiful day!" Liu Yixin exclaimed.
Li Shiqing nodded and said, "That's right, I hope there will be more fun things like this in the future."
The next day, the two girls came to school, still sharing the fun they had the day before with their classmates. Their classmates were all envious of them for having such a wonderful uncle.
Liu Yixin said proudly, "That's right, my uncle is the best uncle in the world."
Li Shiqing smiled and said, "Yes, yesterday was so much fun. Next time, let's ask Uncle to take us out again."
And so, Liu Yixin and Li Shiqing began the new semester in joyful anticipation. They looked forward to even more interesting things happening...
As time went by, Liu Yixin and Li Shiqing's school life became increasingly colorful. They participated in various club activities and made many new friends. But whenever they thought of the day they went to the fast food restaurant and played the claw machine with their uncle, a happy smile would appear on their faces.
