Chapter 26 The First Meeting of the Two Girls
Chapter 26 The First Meeting of the Two Girls
Because she was caught cheating at mahjong, the middle-aged woman went home and picked up a stick to beat Luo Jinnian.
Chu Qingning's small body stood in front of him.
The middle-aged woman sneered. Although she didn't know when the two children had become so close, she decided to beat them up together.
Her stepfather caught the stick she was about to swing.
"You're a crazy woman."
He'll fight to the death if anyone dares to touch his daughter.
From this point on, the war had nothing to do with the two children anymore, and the two adults were locked in a tangle of emotions.
The girl huddled against the wall, shivering, tears soaking half the blanket. Her little hands were still tightly clutching her brother's clothes.
"You're gone. I'm all alone now."
A helpless desolation spread across Chu Qingning's almond-shaped eyes.
Luo Jinnian pinched his sister's soft cheek and said with a smile:
"What are you so upset about? I brought this trouble on the middle-aged woman. I'll take care of her when I'm gone."
He came without bringing anything, but he must take something with him when he leaves.
The girl nodded and shook her head, holding his hand tightly and refusing to let go.
Are you free this afternoon? How about I take you out to play?
Let your sister go out and get some fresh air.
Looking at the boy's expression, Chu Qingning said cautiously, "But I have to go to my art class this afternoon..."
"Just ask for leave. Tell them you've been practicing drawing too hard lately and accidentally caught a cold."
Lying... Chu Qingning looked at the boy's profile and nodded slightly.
She definitely preferred being with her younger brother to drawing, even though she had no idea what to do with him.
This was the first time she had lied. It was okay, she thought, as long as this was the last time she lied, she wouldn't have become a bad child.

……
At the entrance of Xinghua Bookstore
An uncle and nephew, dressed in fashionable clothes, were idly arranging stones in a nine-square grid on the ground.
Seeing his niece's longing gaze for a certain boy, the famous director clicked his tongue, feeling uneasy. He was finding it increasingly difficult to explain to his sister and brother-in-law.
I always felt that the good fortune was enjoyed by the young man, while he ended up bearing all the blame.
"I saw them!"
Fei Yuxi jumped up excitedly and waved energetically to the two children holding hands across the street.
The pretty little girl that Brother Jin Nian is holding hands with must be Sister Qing Ning, whom she often chats with on the phone but has never met in real life.
"Brother Jin Nian, Sister Qing Ning, you've finally arrived!"
Luo Jinnian was used to the girl's enthusiasm.
The girl he was holding hands with shrank behind him like a little rabbit in fright. Luo Jinnian explained with a smile:
"This is Fei Yuxi, the little sister who's been talking to you on the phone all along."
Chu Qingning pouted, and before she could even react to what was happening, she saw the girl opposite her hug her like an octopus, using both her arms and legs.
"I never imagined that not only does my sister have a beautiful voice, but she's also so pretty. I really like her."
Because the girl was clinging to her, Chu Qingning was afraid of hurting her, so she didn't dare to move at all.
In the end, it was Luo Jinnian who urged the two of them to go into the bookstore to read for a while before they separated, or rather, Fei Yuxi was willing to get off her sweet and soft older sister.
Xinghua Bookstore is the greatest bookstore in the world if you don't buy any books.
Xinghua Bookstore is a landmark building in every place. Many children have probably had the experience of going out to play and agreeing to meet at the entrance of Xinghua Bookstore.
Luo Jinnian dreams of becoming a great writer, so he cannot help but learn about and read the world's classic masterpieces.
Read more books, and you'll at least know which works already exist in the world, so you won't be suspected of plagiarism when you're clearly "original".
Fei Yuxi was still struggling to finish her homework, her older sister was trying to draw other characters from Laughing Cat's Diary, the little assistant was happily reading "The Legend of A Shuai," and the big director was playing the currently popular "Angry Birds" with his phone tucked inside a book...
Everyone was busy with their own things.
Luo Jinnian was busy scanning the charts, scanning the charts for children's stories around the world.
Wang Guowei, who wrote "Words on Poetry in the Human World," once said:
"Children's stories are the foundation of a nation's future. The rise and fall of a nation does not depend on the amount of its wealth, but on the richness and depth of its children's stories."
Children's stories are very important for the education of a nation.
Luo Jinnian knew that the cultural and entertainment industry in this world was better than in her previous life, but it was only after reading a few fairy tales in the bookstore today that she truly realized how big the gap was.
Like the bright moon and stars.
However, the more this is the case, the more confident he is in "Laughing Cat Diary". Truly high-quality works are never afraid of competition. If the world's entertainment environment is stagnant, he would be worried.
Moreover, with so many great works, Luo Jinnian, as a reader, can at least enjoy reading to his heart's content.
Seeing the boy enter the bookstore and start reading children's stories, the director thought he was finally going to do something appropriate for his age.
Looking up again, I found that the boy had started writing a new story in his notebook.
How did Qin Chuan know it was a new story? Because it was a new notebook. Qin Chuan knew the boy's habit of using a new notebook for each story he wrote.
"Do you have common topics with your peers?" Because they were in a bookstore, the director said this in a very low voice.
After thinking for a moment, Luo Jinnian said seriously, "I am the topic of their conversation."
Qin Chuan laughed and continued to control the Angry Birds to crash into the grinning green pigs.
"You've played Angry Birds, so you should know what kind of people just giggle like idiots," the boy said quietly.
Just as Qin Chuan was about to ask what it was, the green pigs on his phone screen were still laughing like idiots, reminding him that the boy was calling him a pig.
However, the analogy was so funny that everyone present was trying not to laugh.
The easygoing Qin Chuan also joined in the laughter.
Surrounded by this warm and welcoming environment, Chu Qingning smiled more often, realizing why her younger brother had brought her here.
No one can choose their birth, but the past shapes you but cannot define you. Everyone has the right to decide the environment in which they will live in the future.
Luo Jinnian wanted her sister to know that she was actually a very good person, but that their family was ruined at its core.
She deserves to have many fans.
Just like Du Zhenzi, the protagonist of "Laughing Cat Diary", although she lives in a family environment where her parents are absent for a long time, she is kind-hearted and surrounded by loving companions and animal friends.
Thinking of this, Luo Jinnian felt a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. He was no longer writing "Laughing Cat Diary" just for himself.
You can make a lot of money by plagiarizing, but at least for now, Luo Jinnian really wants to write something to comfort the children of countless suffering families.
Happy children are ultimately a minority; countless children find healing for their imperfect childhoods through stories in books.
Luo Jinnian spent his childhood in both his lives reading books, which is why he insisted on writing "Laughing Cat Diary" even if he didn't earn a single penny.
With that, he wrote the most classic message from the original author, Yang Hongying, on the cover of the "Laughing Cat Diary" series:
Let dreams warm our childhood, let wisdom illuminate our childhood.
The "Laughing Cat Diary," which healed Luo Jinnian's entire childhood, will surely heal many children in the world facing similar difficulties.
