Seeing that Alice had apologized, Qi Zhengmin said very graciously, "It's okay, I forgive you! I hope we can work together in the future. If you dance better than me, I'll give you the lead dance position."

The implication is that if you don't dance well enough and can't beat me, then you can't lead the dance.

"Thank you," Alice said gratefully. "I was wrong before. I hope we can be friends."

"Sure!" Qi Zhengmin nodded. "My family is waiting for me outside. I have to go back now."

"Goodbye," Alice said politely.

Having successfully completed the dance and received an apology from Alice, Qi Zhengmin was in high spirits and felt that his life was complete.

Once outside, Anna took a bouquet of flowers from the bodyguard and waited for Qi Zhengmin at the door.

“Darling, you danced very well.” Anna stepped forward, hugged Qi Zhengmin, and presented him with the bouquet of flowers.

Qi Zhengmin was grinning from ear to ear, holding the flowers and smiling broadly.

It wasn't lunchtime yet, so they strolled around the study area and explored Qi Zhengmin's campus.

Qi Zhengmin has now transformed from a young dancer into a tour guide, introducing the scenery and stories of the school to everyone.

Grandma Qi was in a great mood, enjoying the school atmosphere.

While Anna and Qi Zhengmin's attention was focused on the two swans in the pond, Grandma Qi asked softly, "Sweetie, look how happy the children here are. Don't you really want to stay and study?"

He Tiantian looked at the youthful, smiling faces with envy; it would be a lie to say she wasn't.

"Grandma, although I like it here, I don't want to leave my parents," He Tiantian said. "If I have the opportunity in the future, maybe I will come to study abroad, but definitely not now."

"Why?" Grandma Qi asked. "Your parents are healthy, what are you worried about?"

He Tiantian couldn't very well say that her parents might face another calamity, because she was worried about them.

"I just don't want to be separated from my parents," He Tiantian explained. "Grandma, please don't try to persuade me. I'm not staying here."

"What a pity," sighed Grandma Qi. "Alas, I wonder when schools in China will be able to open again!"

Without developing education, there is no future.

No wonder the United States develops in this way; just look at their investment in and emphasis on education. It's clear that their status as a superpower is not just empty talk.

After lunch, Anna took them to watch Qi Zhenghan's rugby game.

Rugby requires strong physical contact, so protective gear is needed.

Even so, injuries still occur frequently, but Americans love this kind of brutal sport.

On the field, you can only identify people by the numbers on their clothes.

"Sister Tiantian, Grandma, my brother is wearing the number 10 jersey." Qi Zhengmin pointed to Qi Zhenghan, who had just run over, and introduced him to his grandmother and sister Tiantian.

Grandma Qi held binoculars, looked at the audience, and kept cheering for her eldest grandson.

He Tiantian has excellent eyesight and can see the situation on the field clearly.

Although Qi Zhenghan is not very strong, he is fast and agile, and has always been a key player in the team, organizing one attack after another.

Looking at these energetic young people, He Tiantian thought of the young people in China, including herself.

They squandered their youth under harsh conditions.

Although this comes at the cost of an educational gap, it cannot be denied that young people cherish beautiful dreams and contribute their own strength.

Go wherever conditions are harsh.

So many people have left their homes and families!

So many people lost their lives!

The reason why people complained later was because they couldn't see any hope or future, which led to their dissatisfaction!

Qi Zhenghan lived up to expectations and led his teammates to victory against other school teams.

On their way home that evening, they talked about Qi Zhenghan's competition and Qi Zhengmin's performance the whole way.

It's the weekend, Qi Shuliang is taking a break!

While taking a walk in the manor, Grandma Qi San noticed some fresh and tender shepherd's purse on the ground and asked, "Sweetie, do you think that's shepherd's purse?"

He Tiantian looked at it, pulled it from the ground, and smelled it: "Yes, it's shepherd's purse! At this time of year, we used to dig up shepherd's purse to make dumplings and vegetable pancakes."

"Now that you mention it, I really want to eat some," Grandma Qi said with a smile. "After eating so many delicacies, I always feel like something's missing. Go get the shovel, let's get some to take back, and we'll have shepherd's purse and pork dumplings for lunch!"

“Great!” He Tiantian agreed. She was tired of eating refined grains every day and wanted to eat whole grains.

He Tiantian ran back, asked the gardener for a basket and a small shovel, and made sure that no pesticides had been used in the area where shepherd's purse was growing before she started digging.

Qi Shuliang was teaching his son some management techniques at home, while Anna was putting on a face mask and taking care of herself.

Qi Zhengmin, having nothing better to do, was throwing frisbees and teasing the dog!

Seeing that He Tiantian had taken a basket and a small shovel, Qi Zhengmin also came over.

Seeing Sister Tian Tian digging for wild vegetables, Qi Zhengmin asked in surprise, "Sister Tian Tian, ​​why are you digging for grass? Are you feeding the rabbits? But we don't have any rabbits at home!"

"No, we're eating!" He Tiantian said, without looking up, and continued digging for shepherd's purse.

"Huh?" Qi Zhengmin exclaimed in surprise, his eyes widening. "Humans can't eat grass!"

"This isn't grass, it's a wild vegetable, its scientific name is shepherd's purse. It's the best ingredient for making dumplings with pork filling," said Grandma Qi. "Your sister Tian Tian and I both love it. Why don't you try some?"

Qi Zhengmin was at an age where he was curious about everything, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll try it too. If it's delicious, I'll learn how to make it."

He Tiantian was digging for wild vegetables, while Qi Zhengmin was cleaning the yellow leaves and dirt off the shepherd's purse.

I filled a whole basket and took it to the kitchen.

"Dad, Mom, brother, Grandma is amazing! She's going to cook with grass!" Qi Zhengmin didn't even get a taste and didn't believe those wild vegetables were delicious.

Anna was puzzled and took off her face mask to take a look.

The maid in the kitchen was looking at Grandma Qi with a wronged expression.

What kind of thing did that old lady make? It's completely inedible!

"Madam, look..." The maid saw Anna and looked at her pleadingly.

Anna waved her in and asked, "Mom, what delicious treat are you going to make for me?"

"Anna, come and take a look. Shuliang loved shepherd's purse dumplings when he was little. I'll make some and call you down to eat. You can go about your business and don't worry about me," Grandma Qi said with a smile. She felt a little embarrassed that she had taken over the maid's job.

She wanted to make something herself to satisfy her cravings and also to let her son recall the flavors of his childhood.

"Really?" Anna's eyes lit up. She loved Qi Shuliang very much, and she would pay attention to anything that Qi Shuliang liked.

Mom's cooking is one of the most unforgettable memories.

Anna will always remember that her mother's cookies tasted the best, even better than those made by the world's most skilled chefs. (To be continued.)
