For three consecutive years, Wu You received birthday gifts from Xiao Yuan, and she would sew a doll for him every year.
Because for three consecutive years, his birthdays were spent in the countryside. Every summer vacation in these three years, he and Xiaolu would come to the countryside with their mother to live for a while.
In the first year, he was reluctant in every way; in the second year, he was still not very happy, but he was no longer as resistant as before; in the third year, before his mother could say anything, he had already packed his luggage of his own accord.
.
The annual countryside experience seemed to have become a habit in his life. Of course, he would see Madoka every year and receive her a birthday present every year.
In the first year, she gave him a rag doll. In the second year, she kindly gave the rag doll a home and sewed a house for him. In the third year, she added a car to the rag doll.
.
Although her gifts change every year, three years have passed and she still has not improved much. She is still chubby and chubby, and she is still timid and timid.
Therefore, it was difficult for him to imagine how she could adapt to life in the city.
Yes, Madoka is leaving her home in the country and going to study in the city.
Her grades were actually very average, and she was originally not admitted to a key middle school. However, because she was clever and the puppet she made won an award, she was considered a student with special talents and was recommended to a key middle school.
He knew the school she was going to. It was right next door to his school. It was a pretty good school, but the better it was, the less suitable it was for her. Before she went there, he could imagine that she would definitely be there.
He will be regarded as an alien by everyone and will definitely be out of place.
"Zhen Xiaoyuan, are you really sure you want to go to school in the city?" Wu You asked again. This was already the nth time.
Madoka's answer was still exactly the same. She nodded and said firmly, "Yes."
"..." Wu You couldn't help but struggle, but in fact he didn't understand what he was struggling with. This was obviously a good thing for Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yuan's family. Everyone was happy, so why should he be a spoiler?
Forget it, let her be!
"Wish you good luck!" For the sake of knowing her for three years, he gave her these four words.
"Thank you!" She raised her chubby little face and said with a smile.
The new semester will start soon. In the scorching heat of September, it is said that if you put a raw egg on the road, it will be cooked. So you can imagine how uncomfortable it must be for people walking on the road, especially if they are carrying large and small bags.
people.
Zhen Xiaoyuan, who had just gotten off the car, dragged her messy luggage and arrived at a terrifyingly large mansion at the address her mother told her.
The family's surname was Wang, and it was the home of a relative of a relative of hers... She couldn't tell exactly how many twists and turns it took, but in short, this was where she would live in the future.
She was unfamiliar with the place in this big city. To put it bluntly, she only knew Aunt Wu's family. But her mother said that she and Aunt Wu were just neighbors when they were children. They were not relatives, so it was not good for her to go to Aunt Wu's house.
I was disturbed, so I had no choice but to go to the house of this relative I had never met before.
"Ding dong——" She pressed the doorbell with trembling fingers.
After a while, the old butler inside came out and opened the door. The butler was dressed very formally, with a British suit and a tie around his neck.
Because her mother had already greeted her in advance, the housekeeper didn't show much surprise when he saw her. He just asked politely, "Is it Madoka?"
"Yes, Grandpa."
The old butler's mouth twitched, "Just call me Butler Wang!"
"Yes." Xiao Yuan lowered her head in agreement. This Butler Wang is so serious, he looks like the principal of her old school! He dresses like him and talks like him too! How scary!
Carrying heavy luggage, Xiao Yuan followed Butler Wang and walked, and finally came to the backyard of the villa, a two-story building.
"Your room has been arranged, come with me!" Butler Wang led the way.
Xiao Yuan blinked in confusion, and she probably understood something, and asked quickly, "Steward Wang, don't I need to go see my cousin first?"
Although she was new here, she thought she should go and meet the owner first. This was basic courtesy!
Before coming here, my mother had repeatedly warned me that I must be sensible and not make my cousin unhappy.
Cousin?
Butler Wang frowned slightly and corrected her, "Madam took the eldest and second young ladies to Paris to buy new season dresses, and they won't be back until a few days later."
Paris? Buying a dress?
Madoka doesn't understand, why do you have to travel so far to buy a dress? Also, where is Paris? Why do so many people always like to go there to buy things? Are things there cheap? But the tolls are also very expensive.
!Are you going to take a plane?
In Madoka's world, she can't understand this at all. She only understands one thing now, that is, she won't be able to see her cousin today, oh, no, she won't be able to see my wife.
Okay, then she will stay here first and wait for her cousin... wait for Madam to come back.
Xiao Yuan followed Butler Wang upstairs and walked from the first floor to the second floor. She didn't see anyone, but she saw signs hanging on every door: driver's room, maid's room, gardener's room, chef's room, etc.
It turns out there are so many people living here!
Great, she was originally worried that she would be scared if she lived alone.
"This is your room, you will live here from now on." Butler Wang took her to the corner room on the second floor.
After opening the door, Butler Wang handed her the key. She quickly said thank you and carefully put it in her pocket.
Butler Wang gave a few more instructions, telling her not to do this and not to do that. She listened hard and then wrote them down one by one.
After Butler Wang finished explaining, he turned around and left.
Madoka closed the door, then opened it again. She even took out the key in her pocket and tried the door lock. It really could be opened!
It wasn't until this moment that she finally had the real feeling that she could really live here!
Although this room is a bit small, not as big as her room at home in the country, it doesn't matter. As long as she can stay, it doesn't matter even if she sleeps on the balcony!
Because starting from tomorrow, she can go to school. Brother Wuyou's school is next door, and she can see him often in the future!
