Chapter 12 Bald Boy

Chapter 12 Bald Boy

Zhang Liangpeng heard Pei Juanjuan scolding Zhang Yang again, and raised his hands slightly, waving them in the air: "Don't talk about him, don't talk about him. Our Zhang Yang is fine. Don't talk about him..."

Pei Juanjuan supported Zhang Liangpeng while dragging him to the bedroom. The smell made Pei Juanjuan feel sick and she complained, "You always get drunk when you go there. Can't you drink less? Otherwise, you should just not go there anymore!"

Zhang Yang stood in the living room and listened for a while until he heard the sound of his father falling onto the bed, then he went to his room.

He walked into the room, closed the door, and lay down heavily.

Zhang Liangpeng was still talking drunkenly. He didn't act crazy when drunk, but he was always talkative. Whenever he was drunk, he would inevitably hold people to talk for a long time until he fell asleep.

What he said was incoherent and drunken. Not only Zhang Yang, who closed the door, could not understand, but even Pei Juanjuan, who was lying next to him, could not understand. He just kept repeating Zhang Yang's name over and over again. As for what he was saying, Pei Juanjuan didn't want to listen anymore. She covered her ears with a pillow, waiting for Zhang Liangpeng to fall asleep quickly so that she could have some peace and quiet.

Xie Mei sent Zhang Liangpeng back and saw Xin Tianyi clearing the table. She quickly said, "Why are you out again? Go back to sleep. I'll clean up."

"I'm not sleepy, grandma." Xin Tianyi put the dishes in the kitchen and took a rag to wipe the table.

Xie Mei was washing dishes in the kitchen. While washing dishes, she suddenly remembered something and said to Tianyi as if chatting with her family: "The uncle just now was your grandfather's apprentice and is now the director of the cotton mill."

"Yeah, I know." Xin Tianyi said.

"Is his second son in the same class as you?"

"right."

"Don't mention it. This kid is really smart, but he just doesn't study hard. He should be in a grade higher than you, fourth or fifth grade. He handed in a blank paper on the test, so the teacher made him hold back a grade."

Xin Tianyi knew that Zhang Yang was repeating a grade. In his previous life, there were children in the cotton mill who didn't study hard, and some parents would use Zhang Yang as an example to educate their own children. If you don't study hard, you will be repeated a grade like Zhang Yang!

Xin Tianyi smiled when he thought of this, "But he is quite smart."

"He's just smart." Xie Mei said, "Don't you see how naughty he is? I tell you, it's God's will. All naughty children are smart. And his brother always gets first place every year, so how bad can he be? This child's current situation, hey, it has a lot to do with his mother."

Xin Tianyi had already wiped the dining table clean and was sweeping the floor with a broom. When he heard Xie Mei say this, he stopped and listened carefully.

"Doesn't he have an older brother? When his mother was pregnant with him, she wanted a girl. People say sour boys and spicy girls are good for girls. When she was pregnant, she often came to our house for dinner and ate all kinds of spicy food. We all said that Juanjuan must be having a girl. Zhang Yang's mother was so happy. Now she really has a son and a daughter. She had been thinking about it for a girl, even preparing pink clothes for the baby. Who knew it would be a boy?"

Xie Mei laughed, "When they found out it was a boy, Juanjuan started crying, asking who had switched the baby for hers. How could her daughter become a bald boy?"

Xin Tianyi had never heard of these things in his previous life.

Maybe he had heard it before, but didn't take it seriously and forgot about it like the wind passing through his ears.

But after listening to Xie Mei's explanation today, she finally understood the whole story.

As the youngest in the family, Zhang Yang was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins all day long. No one cared about him. He either ate here or slept there. He would not go home if he said he would not go home. His parents did not look for him everywhere like other parents of other children. It turned out that it was because of this.

"Zhang Yang, you grew up with the two kids from the Yuan and Wei families. You'd eat and sleep at their houses whenever you had nothing to do. These three kids are really close friends. It's fate that you transferred to another school and are classmates with them. If you have any difficulties at school, you can go directly to them. They may be a little naughty, but they're not bad kids. They're not bad at heart, really."

"I know, Grandma." Xin Tianyi said, "I'm currently sitting at the same table with Yuan Dabao, and I'm also close to Zhang Yang."

"Really? Sitting at the same table with Dabao?" Xie Mei smiled. "That's good, very good."

As they were talking, the floor was swept clean, and Xie Mei told Xin Tianyi to go to bed quickly.

Wang Mingjie also finished school. He came in from outside, put down his schoolbag, and shouted to the bedroom: "Mom, I'm hungry!"

The author has something to say:

I suddenly had a high fever and couldn't hold on any longer. That's all for today, I'll make up for it tomorrow. Sorry everyone.
