Chapter 402: Do you think my parents are vegetarians?
Soon, Alexander brought over a large stack of books.
And the six little girls each selected 100 books.
Because there were too many books, Ethan specifically brought a trailer.
In front of the cashier, the line was as long as a dragon.
Many people buying books were worried about waiting too long behind Alexander, so they ran ahead while Alexander and Ethan struggled to haul the books, and joined the line in front of them.
However, Eldie had foreseen this and went to line up earlier after picking out her books.
Now she was already at the front of the line, and it was about to be her turn.
"Dad, come quick!" Eldie anxiously called out to Alexander.
Ethan and Alexander had already brought the books over, but the man behind Eldie completely ignored her presence.
Taking advantage of his taller stature, he stretched out his arm and placed the books he bought on the counter.
At this moment, Alexander, Ivy, and Ethan had already arrived next to Eldie with a cart full of books.
The cashier did not seem to notice and directly served the customers behind, making it seem like Alexander and Ivy were cutting in line.
The people at the back of the line didn't know the truth, and seeing Alexander buying so many books and trying to cut in line made them angry.
An elderly man with a bald head said, "Young man, don't think you can cut in line just because you're buying a lot. Those who buy books are intellectuals, intellectuals should have manners, please go to the back of the line!"
With such an unfriendly tone, Alexander simply ignored him.
He could wait until the last person to pay, but dragging these hundreds of books to the back of the line would be too troublesome, there was no need!
Someone in the line grumbled in discontent.
"They're so unaware, do they think they can cut in line just because they have money? So uncivilized, it's not proper at all! Pathetic!"
Ivy looked up and asked the person, "Who are you talking about?"
"I'll say it's whoever cut in line!" the person replied.
Alexander held Ivy back, signaling her not to act impulsively, and just stand on the side and wait patiently.
But Eldie couldn't accept it at all. She had lined up early, and it was clear that someone had cut in line behind her, yet others were saying that her dad and mom cut in line. No, she had to clear their names!
When the cashier picked up the man's books to scan, Eldie suddenly pointed at the book and said, "European Ethnic Traditional Virtues Primer for Children, Uncle, why did you buy this kind of book? Is it for your own studying or for your child's learning?"
The man who cut in line hugged the boy next to him and said, "Of course it's for my child's learning. I'm already an adult, why would I read a children's book?"
Eldie nodded and said without any courtesy, "True, for someone like you who doesn't even want to follow the rules when queuing, reading a book about virtues is useless. But I advise you not to buy such books for your child, because after they finish reading it, they will be embarrassed for you."
"You...who do you think you are, you rude child?" The man became angry with a red face.
Eldie raised her little head confidently
"Bag, is it because I lack politeness or because you lack politeness? I have been waiting in line in front of you for a long time. You took advantage of your height and cut in line without even saying hello!
I always speak to you politely and even address you as uncle, but you call me a wild child. One of the most important virtues in ancient European traditions is respecting the old and loving the young, uncle. You must be at least thirty years old this year, right?
But I am only four years old, just started in the nursery school. In theory, you should be considerate towards me, but not only do you not, but you also shout at me, thinking my parents are pushovers?"
