Zhou Hongyun asked Momo: "Is Wen Zheng up yet?"

Momo glanced at Wen Zheng's room: "He got up early in the morning, so he must have gone out."

Zhou Hongyun was puzzled: "Why are you there so early in the morning?"

Because it was Sunday, we had breakfast late, and Wen Zheng didn't come back after breakfast.

Sheng An Ning was very surprised: "Where did he go? Why hasn't he come back for so long?" She turned around and asked An An: "Do you know where Wen Zheng went? Did he tell you? Did he go to see his classmates?"

An An shook her head: "No, you didn't tell me where you were going. Wasn't you fine yesterday?"

Sheng An Ning thought for a long time: "Mo Mo will go and see if Wen Zheng has gone to the river for a run and hasn't come back yet?"

Zhou Zhou muttered, "Even if I run, I can't run for so long."

Sheng Anning glared at him: "Shut up."

Zhou Zhou grinned and dared not say anything else.

Just when I was wondering where Wen Zheng had gone, I saw that he was wet all over, dripping with water, his clothes were covered in mud, and he was holding a bucket in his hand.

Zhou Hongyun exclaimed: "Hey, little ancestor, where have you been? Why are you all wet? Go inside and change your clothes."

Sheng Anning stared at the bucket in Wen Zheng's hand and suddenly shouted, "Wen Zheng, stop, what's in the bucket?"

Because of his hoarse voice, he called Wen Zheng's name with a bit of severity, which made Wen Zheng unconsciously want to hide the bucket behind him. Sheng Anning had already walked up to him and clearly saw that there were several fat crucian carps still swimming in the bucket in his hand.

Sheng An Ning frowned: "Did you go fishing in the river pond?"

Wen Zheng could only nod: "Well, it's not cold, and the water in the pond is not deep."

Sheng An Ning suddenly became angry, and slapped Wen Zheng on the back: "Do you think this is very filial? But have you ever thought about what would happen to me and your uncle if something happened to you in the pond? Can you swim? Do you know the temperature of the pond in this weather? Do you know what kind of dangers are under the pond? When it's cold, the fish hide in the mud at the bottom of the water. Are you trying to get them out like this? Are you risking your life?"

I feel bad that my child is too sensible, but I also feel bad that he doesn't know how to protect himself.

Thinking about it, he slapped Wen Zheng hard on the back a few more times and said, "If you're like this, I won't eat the crucian carp you caught. I'll just throw it away."

After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Wen Zheng: "Aunt, I know I was wrong, but I can swim."

Sheng An Ning shook off his hand: "Most of those who drown are good swimmers. I don't want your filial piety. Go and dump the fish."

After saying that, he went to the back bedroom without looking back.

An An and the other children were all shocked. After all, Sheng An Ning had always been very gentle to them and never got angry, let alone hit Wen Zheng.

Zhou Zhou shrank his neck and quietly returned to his room.

Hengheng was also frightened and hurriedly went to eat the porridge he had not finished yet.

Zhou Hongyun saw Wen Zheng standing there at a loss with the bucket in his hand, and walked over distressedly: "Your aunt is angry, not because you are wrong to catch fish, but because it is too dangerous for you to go alone. You caught the fish, but what if you didn't catch the fish and you lost your life?"

Wen Zheng lowered his head with dark circles under his eyes and said nothing.

Zhou Hongyun couldn't bear it: "Okay, give me the fish. I worked so hard to catch it, how can I throw it away? I'll braise it for you later."

Wen Zheng explained in a low voice: "This is for Aunt's health. We won't eat it."

Zhou Hongyun sighed: "Your aunt is angry now. Do you think she will eat this fish? Think carefully about why your aunt is angry and apologize later."

Zhou Shixun didn't expect Sheng An Ning to be so angry. Seeing Zhou Hongyun comforting Wen Zheng, he also got up and went to the backyard.

But Sheng An Ning was unexpectedly sitting on the bed wiping tears: "What's wrong with you? Didn't you also beat Wen Zheng?"

Sheng An Ning choked up: "I feel sorry for this child. Don't you think he has become a people-pleaser recently? I believe that everything he does is from the bottom of his heart to repay us. He is a good child who knows how to repay his gratitude. But you didn't realize that there are obviously better ways to repay our gratitude, but he chose the one that makes us feel sorry for him."

Zhou Shixun was a little confused: "Why do you say that? I think the children are very attentive. And they are all kind-hearted children."

Sheng An Ning shook her head: "I'm not saying that Wen Zheng is not kind, but he is a little anxious about repaying his gratitude. For example, when it comes to catching fish, he could ask someone to buy them, or he could think of other ways, but he chose this way that would make us feel the most distressed. This is him being cunning."

Zhou Shixun was stunned: "No way, maybe the child is too simple-minded, seeing you sick, he rushed over without thinking about anything else."

Sheng An Ning still shook her head: "No, and he could have told An An about the last time he restored the photo, but he didn't. He is very attentive to us, but I don't like him to be cunning when he is attentive. The child is a good child, but he is too young. If he develops this habit of being cunning now, he will be like this in everything in the future."

Zhou Shixun frowned, still unable to believe that Wen Zheng would be so petty: "Why would he do this?"

Sheng An Ning was somewhat certain: "He wanted to repay his gratitude, but he felt that his current ability was too weak. So he wanted to attract our attention."

Zhou Shixun still couldn't understand: "As long as the child is kind, it doesn't matter."

He also advised Sheng An Ning: "Don't think so much."

Sheng An Ning didn't say anything. How could she not think about it? She didn't think so before. She just raised Wen Zheng as a child. But now that the children are growing up, she finds that Wen Zheng's feelings for An An have changed.

She didn't mind having Wen Zheng as her son-in-law, but she was very concerned that Wen Zheng might have some ulterior motives.

Zhou Shixun went out for a while, and soon someone knocked on the door. Sheng Anning knew it was Wen Zheng, so she called him in.

Wen Zheng walked into the house with his head down and said in a low voice, "Aunt, I'm sorry."

Sheng An Ning didn't mean to blame him: "Can you tell your aunt why you do this?"

Wen Zheng's ears turned red with shame. He lowered his head and looked at his toes, not knowing what to say.

Sheng An Ning was not in a hurry. She looked at Wen Zheng quietly. Seeing that Wen Zheng was still unwilling to speak, she helped him and said, "Wen Zheng, if you treat your uncle, aunt, and An An as your own family, you must not deliberately do something. This will be counterproductive."

"You are not a child with nothing. You will have a bright future. At your age, don't think about holding on to anything. As long as you fly high enough, the girl you like will definitely like you too."

Wen Zheng looked up at Sheng Anning in surprise: "Auntie..."
