Fortunately, Xiao He usually respected his child's wishes. He did not forbid Xiao Yun from doing this or that just because of his young age.
On the contrary, he was quite supportive of whatever Xiao Yun did. He was not a feudal parent and was quite open-minded.
It was precisely because Xiao He was such a parent that Xiao Yun could save himself a lot of trouble.
"Okay, thank you, Dad," said Xiao Yun excitedly. He knew he could convince Xiao He, but he didn't expect it to happen so fast.
"But don't be happy too soon." Xiao He suddenly changed the topic.
Xiao Yun's heart skipped a beat. He thought that Xiao He had gone back on his word because of some problem.
Then he heard Xiao He say, "I have to be by your side when you sell the money."
He was afraid that Xiao Yun would be cheated on at such a young age.
But he had really underestimated Xiao Yun. Xiao Yun was very shrewd. How could he be cheated by these people?
Still, in order to dispel Xiao He's concerns, Xiao Yun agreed. It wasn't a big deal anyway.
"That's good. Go back and rest," said Xiao He.
Xiao Yun nodded and the two of them went back to their respective rooms to rest.
After Xiao Yun woke up, Xiao He had already gone to work. In the afternoon, he still planned to follow Lin Xi to the playground to play and see where he could collect more recyclables.
When afternoon came, Xiao Yun went to pick up Lin Xi and Li Ping happily let him take Lin Xi away.
Lin Xi was very happy to see Xiao Yun come to pick her up again in the afternoon.
She hopped off with Xiao Yun and eventually, the pair managed to collect another large collection of collections.
Once they were satisfied and done, they went back to their respective homes and washed their hands in preparation to have their dinner.
"What were you doing in the garbage collection area at our house just now? Why, were you afraid that the recyclables would be lost?" Xiao He joked.
"No, it's just that I had gone out to collect some more and put it together with the previous ones," Xiao Yun replied.
Xiao He was surprised that Xiao Yun was so enthusiastic about this matter. However, thinking about it, he was worthy of being his son. He worked hard to pursue what he wanted.
"Then come over quickly. My son has worked hard for the whole day. Eat more to nourish yourself," said Xiao He with a smile.
The weekend passed very quickly and it was Monday again. It was time for Xiao Yun and Lin Xi to go to kindergarten.
In the morning, Li Ping sent the two of them to school and then went back.
The two children were not in the same class - Xiao Yun was in a big class and Lin Xi was in a small class.
So Xiao Yun sent Lin Xi to the door of her classroom and then went back to his own classroom.
As soon as he entered the classroom, he saw a little fat boy rushing over. "Xiao Yun, you're finally here. Look at the buns I brought for you. They're very delicious."
As he spoke, he took out a bag of buns from behind him and handed it to Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun looked at it and smiled as he punched the chubby kid in the stomach. "Chubs, are you still eating? Look at your stomach."
Xiao Yun did not hurt him, but Chubs pretended to hold his stomach and cry out in pain.
Xiao Yun looked at him acting like a child and could not help but shake his head. "Alright, stop pretending. How can I not know if I'm hurting you?"
Sure enough, after Xiao Yun said this, Chubs did not continue to act like a child anymore. Instead, he shook the bun in his hand and said, "I brought you a bun. Are you going to eat it or not?"
Xiao Yun shook his head and said, "I'm not going to eat it. I've already eaten breakfast. I'm still very full."
Xiao Yun rejected his kind intentions.
Chubs was not angry. Instead, he said, "It's good that you're not eating. This time, I'm going to eat all of them and not leave any for you."
Chubs' name was actually Xiao Ye. However, because he loved to eat, he became Chubs. Therefore, the people around him no longer called him by his name. They called him Chubs instead.
In the beginning, Chubs could not quite accept others calling him by this name. However, he gradually got used to it. Now, if someone called his real name, he might not be very used to it.
Steamed buns were also a luxury food for people nowadays. Parents might make their own buns at home, but they rarely bought buns for their children from outside.
And Chubs' parents bought steamed buns for him because their family's conditions were still pretty good. Every week, they would buy him something he liked to eat for breakfast.
Not only that, even though little fatty was just as old as Xiao Yun, he already had pocket money. This made many people around him envious.
Chubs had just started kindergarten. Some people even went to primary school or middle school without pocket money.
Xiao Yun looked at Chubs and was lost in thought. He remembered that in his previous life, Chubs bought steamed buns but was unwilling to eat them all. So he saved some for Xiao Yun to share with him when he came.
However, Xiao Yun felt that he was fat, so he did not want to play with Chubs. He even knocked over all the buns that he had handed over.
At that time, Chubs cried very sadly. Perhaps it was because he was a child and did not hold a grudge, but Chubs still loved to play with Xiao Yun. And yet, Xiao Yun always teased him.
As they grew up, Chubs might have realized that Xiao Yun did not want to make friends with him, so he slowly distanced himself from Xiao Yun. He no longer looked for Xiao Yun to play with.
At that time, Xiao Yun was still unhappy with Chubs' behavior. However, he did not take the initiative to talk to Chubs for the sake of his ego. In the end, the two of them did not go to the same school, hence, they slowly lost contact.
However, when Xiao Yun's mind was on the girlfriend he was dating, he basically spent all his money on that girlfriend to the point that he did not even have the money to eat.
At that time, he couldn't borrow money from the people around him, so he could only force himself to persevere.
He didn't know how Chubs knew about this but this long-lost friend had directly transferred the money to him. He even told him not to be in a hurry to return it and let him spend it first.
At that time, Xiao Yun simply thought that this person was really stupid.
But now that he thought about it, during the most difficult time, even his best friend didn't lend him any money. Instead, it was this kindergarten classmate, this classmate who he bullied many times, who had lent him money without hesitation and had no urgency to be paid back.
The Xiao Yun back then was a jerk.
Now that Xiao Yun thought about the things he had done in his previous life, he wished he could give himself two slaps.
So this time, he wouldn't be a jerk like last time. This time, Xiao Yun would definitely treat Chubs as his best friend and not let him down.
Chubs was as important as Lin Xi
When Chubs saw Xiao Yun staring at him without blinking, he thought that Xiao Yun wanted to eat a steamed bun but was too embarrassed to say so, so he timidly handed over a steamed bun and said, "Do you want to eat it?"
