On one occasion, he happened to meet the headmaster at the entrance of the academy. The headmaster stopped to talk to him cordially and was praising his second sister’s culinary skills when his younger uncle came over. After he introduced him to the headmaster, as if he was ‘burning the bridge after crossing it’, his younger uncle didn’t even look at him again and only cared about talking to the headmaster. The headmaster obviously didn’t want to talk to Younger Uncle, but he just tactlessly continued to flatter him. It was so freaking embarrassing!After the headmaster left, Younger Uncle invited him to his house for a meal that day for the first time. There wasn’t any coarse grain in their kitchen at all, and was full of polished rice and wheat flour instead. There was a large piece of meat being cured inside a jar and chicken soup cooked in the pot. They were eating better food than the rich families in the neighboring villages!Before they had split from the main family, their family didn’t have enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear, yet they still had to save up money to support Younger Uncle’s noblemen-like lifestyle in town. Little Shitou felt very sad when he thought about that. Even the chicken soup and stir-fried meat that he ate at noon seemed tasteless!
