After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 628

Chapter 628: The Little Grumbler
As soon as the class set was finished, all the book covers Zhouzhou brought in were sold out. She glanced at the row of classrooms, feeling somewhat unsatisfied.

“If only I had asked Brother Dafu to bring in more book covers,” she murmured. This amount was simply not enough.

Hearing her grumble, Qin Lie patted her little head. “No need to worry, there will be more opportunities in the future.”

Indeed. Zhouzhou immediately perked up. “Yes! It’s still morning. I’ll go find Brother Dafu later and buy more, then sell them to earn money. There’s still time!”

Qin Lie: “…”

That wasn’t exactly what he meant.

Without continuing the topic, Qin Lie bent down, scooped up the little girl, and strode away.

Zhouzhou held a bundle of money, grinning from ear to ear. As soon as she saw Grandma Qin and the others, she proudly flaunted her labor results.

Grandma Qin cooperated, saying, “Oh, you’ve earned so much money all at once. Our Zhouzhou is really amazing.”

Of course. She was going to be a little rich woman.

Zhouzhou proudly puffed out her little chest and raised her chin high.

Next, the little chubby girl looked at the money in her hand and muttered, “This one’s for Grandpa, this one’s for Grandma, this one’s for Dad, big brother…”

In no time, the stack of money in her hand was completely distributed.

Zhouzhou pinched the yuan left for herself and said, “Go buy some candy with it. My treat!”

It had to be said that Zhouzhou was a bit different from Qin Er. She wasn’t as stingy. Compared to him, Zhouzhou, at such a young age, already had a sense of responsibility for supporting her family.

Grandma Qin smiled as she looked at the handful of coins, rubbed her chubby granddaughter’s head, and said, “Go to class now.”

“Okay.” Zhouzhou cheerfully agreed and bounced towards First Grade Class One.

By now, quite a few people were already seated in the classroom. As soon as Zhouzhou entered, Huo Ji’an waved to her and pointed to an empty seat beside him, saying, “Chubby Girl, come here!”

Zhouzhou nodded and quickly ran over, placing a candy on his desk.

“Chubby Girl, where did you go just now?” Huo Ji’an asked curiously.

Qin Bei, sitting behind them, glanced at Zhouzhou’s empty hands and understood.

She must have gone to sell book covers.

Sure enough, Zhouzhou said, “I went to sell book covers to earn money.”

Upon hearing this, Huo Ji’an widened his eyes in astonishment and couldn’t help but exclaim, “Wow,” full of admiration. When it came to making money, Chubby Girl was indeed very serious.

As they were chatting, a small figure suddenly rushed in from outside, swiftly making her way towards them.

Huo Ji’an felt a sudden blur in front of him, and then there was an extra person beside him. He blinked, turned his head, and saw Chang Beibei panting and gulping down water.

Zhouzhou also looked over and brightened up when she saw her. “Oh, it’s you.”

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Chang Beibei also turned her head, a smile appearing on her face. “Gossip buddy!”

“Yeah yeah yeah!” Zhouzhou vigorously nodded, excitedly patting her own little bag. Yes, it was her gossip buddy.

The two instantly became as excited as if they were seeing old friends, holding hands tightly.

Huo Ji’an was pushed back by them, mouth agape, struggling for a chance to interject.

“Gossip buddy, have you heard? Just now, someone in the second grade was selling book covers. It was a father-daughter duo. The dad was really fierce, and the little girl wouldn’t allow others to say so, really domineering,” Chang Beibei said.

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou’s face suddenly froze, and the hand she held with Chang Beibei gradually loosened.

Seeing this, Huo Ji’an’s eyes lit up. It’s his turn to step in!

He pushed Chang Beibei aside and said with hands on hips, “I think Uncle Qin is very gentle!”

Although he also felt that Chubby Girl’s dad was quite fierce, he knew that such words should never be said in front of Chubby Girl.

Humph, do you still want to compete with him for Chubby Girl? He wouldn’t give her that chance! He was Chubby Girl’s best friend!

Upon hearing this, Chang Beibei was dumbfounded.

Being caught off guard in front of the protagonist was somewhat embarrassing for her.

But who was she? A seasoned spectator.

Her eyes widened for a moment, and then she changed the subject. “Of course! Your dad must be especially gentle with you, that’s why you say that.”

“Gossip buddy, I didn’t expect you to be so cute and also have a little temper,” she said, reaching out to pinch Zhouzhou’s chubby cheek.

She remained calm, making Zhouzhou unable to stay angry anymore. She smiled at her and said, “My dad is really great.”

“He tells me stories every night and buys me lots of delicious food without complaining. He’s the best dad in the world!”

Whenever she mentioned Qin Lie, her eyes sparkled.

Seeing this, Chang Beibei immediately understood how to get along with Zhouzhou.

Just praise her dad.

Thinking of this, she raised her thumb. “Hmm, I saw just now that your dad is super nice, especially handsome!”

That’s true. Qin Lie’s looks were absolutely indisputable.

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou’s last bit of unhappiness completely disappeared.

As long as she praised her dad, then they would be good friends.

The hands of the two little girls held together again, and Chang Beibei changed the topic, bringing up other gossip.

Zhouzhou listened attentively, her eyes shining as she reached into her bag for melon seeds, listening with relish.

Huo Ji’an was once again pushed out.

He was a bit dumbfounded. How could this be happening?

Wasn’t he supposed to be Chubby Girl’s best friend for life?

In his backpack, Jinbao turned over lazily and yawned, already accustomed to this.

A scumbag girl.

Fickleness was just a routine operation.

Qin Bei and the others didn’t feel much. Unlike Huo Ji’an, who only played with Zhouzhou, they became familiar with other children soon after, and before long, they mingled with other children.

Only Huo Ji’an pouted, feeling a pang of jealousy. But despite his efforts, Chubby Girl showed no reaction.

Grandma Qin, watching this scene, was delighted.

“Ji’an is almost becoming a little grumbler.”

Who could argue with that? That melancholy look in his eyes said it all.

Yu Ze couldn’t help but chuckle.

However, Zhouzhou hadn’t completely forgotten about Huo Ji’an. She handed him some melon seeds and pulled him into the gossip circle.

At first, Huo Ji’an wanted to resist, but gradually, he was drawn to Chang Beibei’s story.

“And then? And then?” he eagerly urged.

Chang Beibei took a leisurely sip of water and was about to speak when suddenly, there was a commotion at the door.

“Remember to take good care of your little brother at school. Make sure he eats the fruit and meat for lunch before anyone else.”

“Did you hear me? As an older sister, you should act like one.”

It was those familiar words again, and Zhouzhou’s little eyebrows furrowed instantly.

Sure enough, the person who entered the room was the brother and sister duo they had seen at the school gate that day.

This time, the little girl had a displeased expression on her face.

Zhouzhou looked at her, and her brows furrowed even more…
