Children from poor families feel insecure because their living conditions don’t allow them to be bold enough to try new things easily.
But children from rich families are confident because they are not afraid of failure, as their parents support them and allow them to fail many times.
Children from wealthy families didn’t know how to cut steak right at the beginning; they started learning from scratch too.
However, children from poor families might only start to learn how to eat western food after graduating from university.
"Comrade, what do you do for a living?" The female comrade nearby saw Yun Xiaoxiao so young and already having two children, she doubted if Xiaoxiao was a stepmother, but the children bore some resemblance to Yun.
What exactly do you do for work?
Her skin is so well-maintained, it seems to glow white and red; she’s wearing makeup, but it’s hard to tell where.
This female comrade doesn’t know there is something called fake natural makeup.
Yun Xiaoxiao simply used an eyebrow pencil matching her hair color, lightly curled her eyelashes, brushed on some mascara, applied blush, and wore a nude pink moisturizing lipstick slightly more radiant than her lip color.
She was wearing a cashmere coat with a long floral dress inside, three-centimeter chunky heel boots on her feet, hair flowing at the back, and a pearl hairpin at the side, making her look fashionable and youthful.
"Going to university."
A university student?
Doesn’t seem like it.
"Did you buy this outfit at Yuntian Clothing Store?" Another mother waiting for her child to participate in a competition came over to ask.
Yun Xiaoxiao looked stunning in her cashmere coat.
"Yes, this dress is also from their store."
Yun Xiaoxiao gave the other woman’s figure a once-over, "Sis, I noticed they recently came out with several new styles of cashmere coat dresses, very slimming, and look particularly slender when worn."
"I’ll take a look later."
As you get older, your basal metabolic rate isn’t as strong as when you were young, absorption isn’t as good, and it becomes easier to gain weight.
"Big sister, what face cream do you use?"
This question prompted all the nearby moms to gather around; as you age, vanity increases.
"I use ’Peacock’ from the department store; the hand cream is from a XX accessory store. Their hand cream is especially fragrant; do any of you sisters want to try it out?"
Yun Xiaoxiao took out a sweet osmanthus-scented hand cream from her bag and squeezed a bit for each of the ladies who stretched out their hands to try.
"It really is fragrant."
"Not overpowering at all."
"It’s particularly moisturizing, not greasy."
Xiao Bao was amazed watching his mom chat with those aunties, discussing everything from clothing to hand cream, and then about issues of children’s learning.
Weren’t they all acquainted before?
Why are they chatting now?
"Does their family have other scents?"
"They have sweet osmanthus, lavender, and orchid, peach, orange, and several other scents, but the prices are relatively higher than others."
"These things are as convenient as squeezing toothpaste; if they’re more expensive, then so be it."
Being able to send a child to learn calligraphy indicates the family has some financial stability, the pressure isn’t overwhelming, and they have foresight, enabling their children to get a step ahead of others.
Like rural children’s parents, if they can afford their children’s education, they’ve already worked hard enough; there’s hardly any money or knowledge to let their children explore other interests.
"I know the owner of their store; if you mention my name, you can receive a little something."
