Chapter 583: Chapter 583: Back to School
Although the villa was large, its overall structure was quite open, and the layout was immediately clear.
Li Yufei took Junjun for a walk around the back garden again.
In the afternoon, they had lunch and cut the birthday cake. Li Yufei entertained the guests, while Han and Momo accompanied Junjun in his new room to open gifts.
This birthday, Li Yufei invited many people. Friends and family of the Li Family, as well as the Huo Family and Du Family, all came.
The gifts sent filled an entire study, and just opening them took the whole afternoon.
The gifts were diverse, ranging from toys, mobile phones, and red envelopes to high-end stationery products.
After Momo and Han helped Junjun finish opening them, they organized everything.
In the evening, they had dinner.
After seeing off the guests, Li Yufei went to the room where the nanny had already bathed Junjun.
He was sitting on the bed, playing with the remote-controlled plane Du Shaoheng had given him.
This remote-controlled plane was worth tens of thousands, highly sensitive, and equipped with a camera. Junjun sat on the balcony, controlling the plane, and it flew over the South Garden. In the night, the South Garden, with its lush greenery and beautiful landscape lights in the greenery, looked as dreamy as an estate in a movie.
Li Yufei walked up behind him, seeing him engrossed in play, and did not interrupt immediately.
It wasn’t until Junjun brought back the remote-controlled plane that Li Yufei softly spoke, “Did you have a happy birthday today?”
Junjun turned around and said, “Yes, I had a great time. I received so many gifts, Momo and Han helped me open them and organized everything for me.”
He had also eaten the birthday cake.
It turns out the birthday cake was so delicious.
With so many guests at home, there wasn’t much left of the ten-layer cake.
Among them, Junjun alone had eaten a full layer.
Junjun curiously asked, “How much does a ten-layer cake cost?”
Li Yufei replied, “I don’t remember clearly, but it’s about over ten thousand.”
Junjun couldn’t help but gasp.
Are birthday cakes this expensive?
Li Yufei asked, “What’s wrong?”
Junjun shook his head, “Nothing, just thinking… a cake costing over ten thousand seems quite pricey!”
Li Yufei said, “Actually, an ordinary single-layer cake isn’t expensive.”
In the past, for Li Siyao’s birthday, it was usually a five-layer cake. Besides her and Li Cheng, there were other butlers and maids at home, so actually, there were quite a few people, and just one layer was never enough.
A five-layer cake would cost over 3000.
And the price of a ten-layer cake basically doubles and then doubles again.
However…
What surprised her was that Junjun was only ten years old, yet at this age, he had started developing a sense of money.
Generally, kids his age have little concept of money.
Li Yufei said, “Your uncle couldn’t come to your birthday today. He’s abroad shooting and due to the weather, his flight got delayed; he’ll only be back tomorrow.”
Junjun said, “Uncle already called me and wished me a happy birthday.”
Li Yufei asked, “Did Uncle celebrate your birthday before?”
Junjun shook his head, “I never told him my birthday, and he never asked.”
In the past, Li Yanzhou was very indifferent to him.
After all, at that time, he didn’t know Junjun was his nephew; he only knew this child was Li Cheng’s illegitimate son. Therefore, initially, Li Yanzhou was repulsed by Junjun in his heart. Were it not for considering how the child was alone without care, he couldn’t help but be moved by compassion.
Li Yufei asked, “Before… how much pocket money did you get monthly?”
Junjun said, “I didn’t have any pocket money.”
Li Yufei said, “From now on, how about mom gives you 50,000 as monthly pocket money?”
Junjun opened his lips, “That much? I can’t spend it all.”
Li Yufei said, “If you can’t spend it, just save it. I’ll get you a supplementary card, and if you don’t spend it, just save it in the card.”
She planned to cultivate the child’s financial abilities from a young age.
Junjun nodded, “Okay.”
Li Yufei said, “It’s late, so sleep early. Tomorrow, organize your school bag; the day after tomorrow, you need to go to school for classes.”
Because of his injury, Junjun had delayed his studies for too long; she wondered if he could keep up with the courses when he returned to school.
Junjun said, “Mom, don’t worry, when I was hospitalized, Momo always showed me his notebook, so I didn’t fall behind too much.”
Li Yufei nodded, “Okay.”
Two days later.
Junjun packed up his school bag, and Li Yufei took him to the school gate.
The car stopped.
The driver retrieved the wheelchair from the trunk and moved Junjun into it.
Li Yufei got out of the car, hung the school bag on the wheelchair, and pushed him to the school gate.
At the large school entrance.
Students came and went, but Junjun alone was in a wheelchair, which inevitably drew attention.
Other students occasionally cast curious glances at Junjun.
Junjun suddenly said, “Mom, there’s no need to take me to the classroom; I can do it myself.”
The school had an elevator, so going up and down floors in a wheelchair was convenient.
Li Yufei asked, “Are you okay by yourself?”
Junjun said, “I’ll be fine.”
After saying this, he gave Li Yufei a smile and controlled the wheelchair towards the classroom.
Upon reaching the classroom door.
The wheelchair suddenly stopped.
Junjun saw that all the students in the class were already there.
The day before, the homeroom teacher announced that Junjun would be returning to class the next day.
So, the students arrived early, seemingly waiting for him.
Junjun gasped, looked at his legs, and operated the joystick.
The wheelchair slowly moved to the classroom door.
All classmates suddenly stood up.
The teacher hadn’t arrived yet.
But the classroom was especially quiet.
Dozens of pairs of eyes focused intently on him.
Junjun was momentarily stunned, but he still pretended to be calm and controlled the wheelchair to his seat.
“Junjun.”
Du Huaixi suddenly spoke up, “Welcome back!”
Junjun looked at her in surprise.
Other classmates also smiled and said, “Junjun, you’re finally back.”
“Junjun, you saved Xixi and Momo; you’re our pride…”
Every classmate came over to give him warm and heartfelt hugs.
Junjun was caught off guard; in the past, he had no friends in this class.
He was reluctant to interact with other classmates, and he resisted contact with them.
And the other classmates also thought he was a violent and spoiled child, unwilling to interact with him.
But…
One sincere hug after another broke the barriers and walls between them.
He even noticed that his seat was placed in the nearest row to the classroom door, and the path between the two rows of desks was deliberately widened to allow easy wheelchair access.
Junjun said, “Thank you.”
He returned to his seat, saw that the desk was wiped clean, and although he hadn’t been able to attend regular classes for over a month, any notifications or activity letters sent by the school, as well as issued rewards and certificates, all had a copy for him.
