Child Labor and Child Trafficking (1)
Note: Bolded words are spoken/thought of in English.
At 4: 30 p.m, Lu Lu’s first day of kindergarten was over.
She happily hopped her way out of school.
Everyone in the new kindergarten was nice, and there wasn’t any bullying like in her old school.
These children were very friendly and gave her lots of little gifts. Her backpack was stuffed, overflowing with them. The Snow White on her backpack now looked like she had a double chin.
After school, Lu Lu carried the fat Snow-White backpack out of the building.
Her eye immediately spotted her brother’s assistant Fei Fei.
Aunty Qiao said in the morning that if Lu Lu’s brother was still busy when her school ended, her nanny would come to pick her up.
In her last class, she wished in her heart that Aunt Liu would not come.
Seems that her wish really came true.
Fei Fei is her brother’s little sidekick. She’s always with him.
Since Fei Fei is here, her brother must be here as well.
Lu Lu looked through the crowd and saw the black car her brother usually rode in.
Sigh. Her brother was a lazy pig. All he does is stay in the car and depend on Fei Fei to do everything.
Big Brother wasn’t a gentleman at all, unlike Brother Enyu. Lu Lu muttered in her heart and quickly ran to Li Feifei.
“Sister Fei Fei, I’m coming!”
Lu Lu happily rammed into Li Feifei’s arms. Li Feifei crouched down to give Lu Lu a hug, and then led her to the car.
Song Heran, who came to pick up Lu from school as soon as work was over, sneezed several times in the car.
The driver reached out to the air conditioning panel and turned the temperature up. “Mr Song, is it too cold in here?”
Song Heran shook his head, ” No. It’s probably just somebody talking about me behind my back.”
There was no need to think to know it’s Lu Lu.
This little one usually clung to him all day. Now she’s been in a new environment with strangers, she must be very sad and lonely.
In fact, today’s work schedule was supposed to last an hour longer.
But Song Heran called it a day in advance just to come and pick up Lu Lu.
He thought Lu Lu would come over and give him a big hug as soon as he saw her.
He thought about how to cheer Lu Lu up and encourage her to attend kindergarten.
However, she didn’t act like what Song Heran expected.
Not only did Lu Lu not cry or cling or try to hug him, but she also hung a huge smile on her face.
For the first time in his life, Song Heran felt disappointed because of a kid.
He felt like he wasn’t needed.
Song Heran called Lu Lu over to him and asked, “Lu Lu, how was your first day?”
“Very good, Lu Lu wants to come here everyday.”
What？
It’s very common to see children hate kindergarten.
“Then tell me, what did you do today?”
Lu Lu recalled everything that has happened in class today and told Song Heran one by one while doing a little dance move.
Although Lu Lu’s language abilities are above kids her age, when it comes to telling stories, she would struggle sometimes and her logic would be all over the place.
First, she told how Nuwa didn’t have enough materials to make complete humans sometimes, then hopped to how she made an angel.
Song Heran didn’t have a clue about what Lu Lu talked about.
He listened to her but didn’t have any interest.
He only intended to find out if Lu Lu was bullied by her classmates.
Now it seems that he completely misunderstood what happened. Lu Lu jumped around so much while she told her story that she could almost fly.
Song Heran asked, “Lu Lu, did you make new friends at kindergarten?”
“Of course, Lu Lu made lots of new friends.”
“Do you have a favorite one? Like… your best friend?”
“Yes, Lu Lu likes Qi Qi and Brother Enyu.” Lu Lu opened her backpack and handed a drawing to Song Heran with her face full of gloat.
“You see, Qi Qi gave me the drawing, and Brother Enyu gave me this.”
Song Heran took over a drawing and a set of beautifully packaged crayons.
“I know who Qi Qi is, but who is Brother Enyu?”
After seeing him once in the restaurant, Lu Lu thought they would never meet again. But luckily enough, they both went to the same kindergarten.
“Brother Enyu is in the class for older students. He is very nice to Lu Lu. He even said that Lu Lu is a princess.”
Song Heran felt even more unneeded after hearing this.
Lu Lu got a new big brother, so she didn’t need to cling to him anymore.
This boy called Enyu already has such a sweet mouth at his age, calling Lu Lu a princess and whatnot.
He must stop Lu Lu from falling for this boy.
Song won’t allow premature couples to happen.
Song Heran wanted to tell Lu Lu to not have contact with Gu Enyu anymore. But if she refuses, it could cause a lot more problems.
He decided to personally go to the kindergarten one day to meet the little guy.
He can’t let these boys lead Lu Lu down a dark path.
Song Heran gave back Lu Lu’s crayons and shot a peek inside her little backpack.
It might have been better not to look. The backpack was filled with candies and other goodies.
“Lu Lu, who gave you all this?”
“The other students did! I promised them I’ll bring them freshly baked cookies tomorrow.”
Lu Lu grabbed a handful of candies and placed them in Song’s hand.
“Brother, eat it. I purposely took these for you.”
Song Heran was relieved again.
At least she knew to remember him.
Song Heran didn’t really care about his diet, but he generally avoids sweet things.
Sweets will not only make you fat but can also damage your skin.
But suddenly, he wanted to try some.
In the pile, Song Heran spotted the big white rabbit candy.
Song Heran ate that candy lots of times when he was little. It was nostalgic to see it again in a brand new colorful packaging.
He unwrapped it and tossed it in his mouth.
The moment the candy touched his tongue, an intense feeling came to him.
In just two seconds, tears came out of his eyes.
