Chapter 85

Jiang Wei Yu came back from get off work and saw Chen Chen crawling happily on the mat. He smiled slyly, walked up to her and wanted to kiss her, but when Chen Chen noticed him, he waved his hand away.

Jiang Weiyu covered her face, pretending to be wronged and looking at Chenchen sadly, about to cry: "Chenchen, you don't like your aunt anymore? Your aunt is so sad."

Seeing Chenchen almost crawling off the mat, Jiang Huihan hurriedly grabbed his chubby legs and pulled him back, saying in a slightly reproachful tone, "How could you hit your aunt? It's wrong to hit people. You can't just hit people casually, understand?"

Chenchen disliked his mother's noisy nature. He shook his little head and grinned at her, revealing two short teeth.

The weather was good today and not very cold, so Jiang Suihan simply took out a mat and spread it in the yard for Chenchen to play on and bask in the sun.

Jiang Weiyu sat cross-legged, picked up Chenchen, carefully opened Chenchen's mouth, and said in surprise: "Another tooth has grown, it's on top. Our Chenchen is awesome."

After saying that, regardless of Chenchen's resistance, he held his little face and kissed him hard.

Chenchen frowned and raised his hand to wipe his face with disgust. Feeling it was not clean enough, he wiped it again.

Jiang Wei said angrily, "Do you dislike my saliva so much? Even if you don't let me kiss you, I will still kiss you anyway."

Then Chenchen fell victim to the vicious attack again. He was kissed secretly and his little face was pinched.

Chenchen pouted and quickly crawled into Jiang Huihan's arms, burying his little head in his mother's arms. No matter what his aunt said, he refused to show his face.

Jiang Suihan shook her head and laughed: "You just love to tease Chenchen, be careful not to piss him off or he might get angry with you."

Chenchen is six months old. He has his own temper and is not shy. You can hug him, but you cannot pinch his face, let alone kiss him. Sometimes Jiang Suihan will kiss him, and Chenchen will frown as usual, but will not show any resistance. In his heart, his mother can be an exception, but no one else, not even his father.

Jiang Weiyu said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have saved a lot of candies. If I give them all to Chenchen, he won't be angry with me anymore."

Xu Zhao doesn't like sweets, but Chenchen takes after his mother and loves sweet things. Candy is his favorite snack at present. Jiang Suihan limits the amount of candy he eats every day and he can't eat too much. But there is always someone in the family who pretends to obey and can't resist Chenchen's little nagging, and secretly feeds Chenchen candy.

While Jiang Weiyu was teasing Chenchen, he casually asked, "Did my brother-in-law say when he would be back?"

Xu Zhao went out on a mission two months ago. He didn't tell him what his specific mission was, and Jiang Suihan didn't ask.

"It should be soon, probably this week."

Jiang Wei Yu looked hesitant, as if he had something to say but was unable to open his mouth.

Jiang Suihan: "What's wrong? Is there something you want to tell me?"

Jiang Weiyu nodded and said tentatively: "Sister, how about I stay at home to take care of Chenchen, and you go to school?"

Jiang Suihan has to take care of the children and cannot balance her work at school for the time being. Although Jiang Weiyu does not have a diploma, she has attended the first year of high school and is considered a high school student. So Jiang Suihan suggested to Principal Cai that they let her cousin help substitute for the class. This way, they could keep the money within the family. Principal Cai asked Jiang Weiyu to try taking classes for a week first, and seeing that she looked good and had the qualifications, he agreed.

Jiang Suihan pondered for a moment and asked, "Did someone tell you something?"

Jiang Weiyu subconsciously wanted to shake his head to deny it, but when he looked up at his cousin's insightful eyes, he instantly wilted: "It's nothing, it's just that a few students and parents said that my class is not as good as yours and not interesting enough. I think I may not be suitable to be a teacher. It's good to stay at home to take care of Chenchen, and I don't have to prepare lessons and correct homework every day."

After class in the morning, she went back to the office to pack up. When she passed the corner of the classroom, she heard several students chattering. She didn't care at first and didn't intend to disturb the students, but she heard a student say that she didn't like her class. Several other students nodded in agreement. Some pointed out that her class was boring, and some said that she was not as pretty and gentle as her cousin.

This was not the first time she had heard this. Last week, she happened to meet two parents of students. They told her that their children's grades had declined and questioned her teaching ability and whether she had not taught well enough. She blushed and was so embarrassed and ashamed that she wished she could dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.

After telling her cousin that she didn't want to go to work at the school, she felt relieved, and the tension that had been building for the past few days was almost relaxed.

Jiang Suihan patted Jiang Weiyu's hand with an expression that said, "I guessed it right." "No one is born to be a teacher. Of course, it is not ruled out that there are some people in this world who have this kind of talent, but the vast majority are ordinary people. If you don't know how to do it, just learn slowly. You will know it one day. Don't care too much about other people's evaluations and opinions. We don't live for others. The first time I stood on the podium, I was so nervous that my palms were sweating, but I still finished the class. Later, after giving more lectures and gaining experience, my teaching level gradually improved."

"You have been a student for almost ten years, and suddenly you changed your identity to become a teacher. It is normal that you cannot adapt to the changes brought about by the role for a while. Everything can be done slowly. Since you have already discovered the problem, then work hard to change and make yourself better. Besides, Chenchen is still young and he can't live without me. As a mother, I don't want to miss every day of my child's growth."

Jiang Huihan suppressed the thought that just popped up in Jiang Wei Yu's mind. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that his cousin was right. I don't live for those insignificant people, I live for myself.

She clenched her fists and said proudly, "I'll go prepare my lessons first."

Jiang Suihan smiled and said, "Go ahead."

Chenchen sat in his mother's arms, rubbed his eyes with his chubby hands and yawned.

Jiang Suihan looked down at him: "Are you sleepy?"

I picked up the child and prepared the milk powder for him first. Chenchen held the bottle with both hands and drank it with relish.

After a while, Jiang Huihan went to look again. Chenchen had his eyes closed, and seemed to be very sleepy. However, his mouth was still moving, moving and stopping, and then moving again.

Jiang Suihan had a smile on her lips and her eyes were curved. It was a pity that there was no camera, otherwise it would have been very interesting to take a picture of Chenchen drinking milk at this moment.

The capital city is Xujia.

Xu Zhenguo sat on the sofa and couldn't help but look at his watch: "It's almost seven o'clock, why haven't you come back yet?"

Xu Xiaoling stared at the door: "Maybe the train was delayed, or something happened on the way?"

Qin Zheng lay on Xu Xiaoling's knees, touching his belly with his little hand: "Mom, I'm hungry."

Xu Xiaoling rubbed her son's head and said, "Didn't you just finish eating biscuits? Are you hungry again? I'll make you a cup of malted milk."

Grandpa Xu couldn't bear to see the child go hungry, so he asked Xu Xiaoling to take the child to eat first. ,

There was a car sound outside, and Xu Xiaoling's eyes lit up: "He's back!"

Su Ying had been sitting on the train for a long time and her back and waist were sore, but she couldn't help but admit that she was getting old, so she took the cup of water handed to her by her daughter and took two big sips.

Grandpa Xu said, "It's good that you're back. Let's eat first."

At the dinner table, Qin Zheng held a big chicken leg in his left hand, took two bites of it, and then buried his head in taking a mouthful of rice, concentrating on eating without distraction.

The Xu family didn't have a rule that prohibited talking during meals. Xu Xiaoling half-jokingly said, "Mom, you're willing to come back? This is beyond my expectation. I thought you would stay there for two or three years before coming back."

Su Ying glanced at her second daughter and said, "You are so grown up, yet you are still jealous of your nephew who is not even one year old. Aren't you ashamed? I think Xiaozheng is more sensible than you."

Qin Zheng raised his head when he heard his name. His mouth was greasy and his face was covered with rice. He agreed crisply, "That's right. I am the most sensible."

The way children eat is so dirty, it's unbearable to look at.

Xu Xiaoling took out a handkerchief and threw it to her husband Qin Jianming: "Wipe your son's eyes. It hurts my eyes."

Qin Jianming twitched the corner of his mouth slightly and thought to himself, if your son is not good, you say he is my son, and if your son is good, you say he is your son. You are such a double standard as a mother.

Xu Xiaoling pouted: "I'm just worried about you. How old are you? You're over 50 years old. You came all the way to Li Province and stayed there for more than a year. Even if you don't miss me, you should think about my dad. You can't sleep alone every night. There's no one to talk to and talk about your worries."

What does it mean to be unable to sleep alone? Want to talk about what’s on your mind?

Xu Zhenguo coughed lightly, and he was a little embarrassed that his daughter was pulling him to make a big move. "Okay, the food is getting cold, let's eat first."

After dinner, the family sat in the living room and chatted.

Su Ying opened the luggage she brought back, took out a small iron box and opened it: "Here, Chenchen's hundred-day photo."

Xu Zhenguo was quick to snatch the photo away, then stretched out a rough hand in front of his eyes. When he met his old father's gaze, Xu Zhenguo, who was very dignified on the outside, reluctantly gave the photo to the old man.

There are three photos in total. One shows Chenchen wearing blue overalls and a light yellow top. He stretches out his hands and smiles at the camera with big curved eyes. Anyone who sees the photo will surely exclaim that the little guy is so beautiful.

In one photo, Chenchen is sitting on a stool, with his eyebrows slightly wrinkled and his mouth pursed, looking like he's about to cry but not quite. It's very funny to watch.

The last photo is a family photo, of Chenchen with his parents. Jiang Huihan is holding Chenchen, and they are sitting side by side with Xu Zhao on a stool. With his parents beside them, Chenchen is sitting on his mother's lap, holding his father's finger with one of his little hands, smiling sweetly.

Xu Xiaoling approached her grandfather curiously and couldn't help but exclaimed: "From my perspective, Chenchen is more beautiful than before. How can a girl stand next to a boy who is so beautiful?"

Grandpa Xu laughed heartily: "Xu Zhao was good-looking when he was young, and Chenchen is even more handsome than his father. I think no one in the whole compound is as good-looking as my Chenchen."

Xu Zhenguo felt itchy and said quickly, "Let me see it."

The more Grandpa Xu looked at the photos, the more he liked them and couldn't let them go. He liked the first one the best. Chenchen was lively and cute with a bright smile.

After the old man had finished appreciating the painting, he reluctantly gave it to Xu Zhenguo, and said that he would return it to him after he finished viewing it.

Xu Zhenguo secretly complained that the old man was becoming more and more overbearing, and he was Chenchen's biological grandfather after all.

Jiang Weiyu ran into Wang Dahe on the road and was a little surprised: "Comrade Wang, you are back, is my brother-in-law back too?"

Wang Dahe's face changed. He should have taken another route. He didn't dare to look Jiang Weiyu in the eye. He looked up and down, left and right, and said hesitantly: "Ah, that, the captain, he will be late. We will come back first. Yes, we will come back early."

Jiang Wei Yu looked at Wang Dahe suspiciously, staring at him.

Wang Dahe was not good at lying and was a little overwhelmed. He thought quickly: "I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do. I'm leaving first."

Among the thirty-six strategies, running away is the best one. So run away first and talk later.

Jiang Weiyu's face darkened: "Stop."

Wang Dahe had to stop and continue his lie: "Comrade Jiang, I really have something urgent to do and I can't delay it. Can we talk about it next time?"

Jiang Weiyu was just suspicious at first, but seeing Wang Dahe's expression of being eager to get rid of her, she asked, "Did something happen to my brother-in-law?"

Wang Dahe's face changed and he quickly denied: "No."

Jiang Weiyu affirmed: "You said no without even thinking about it, you must be lying. What happened to my brother-in-law?"
