Chapter 980 What should the three of us perform?

Zheng Yifeng's expression was serious: "Don't you learn your lesson? You've already ruined your teeth, do you want to ruin the rest too? Give me the candy."

"No, this one is for Yanyan!" The daughter frowned, her hands stubbornly hidden behind her back. This time, she unusually disobeyed her father, and her voice became louder.

Zheng Yifeng frowned as well, his expression momentarily resembling his daughter's. Suddenly, his brows relaxed as he remembered that his daughter's recent disagreements with him were almost always because of Lu Yanhe... His eyes flickered.

Damn, that's it.

Lu Yanhe raised her chin seriously and replied, "I don't like candy, I want spicy strips."

A small circle suddenly appeared above Zheng Wanjun's head, and her mind went blank for a moment. She looked puzzled and said, "But you said this candy wrapper was pretty last time."

"But I didn't say this candy was delicious."

Zheng Wanjun blinked her big eyes, casually placed the candy in her father's hand, and asked Lu Yanhe seriously, "Which brand of spicy strips do you like? I'll bring you some."

Zheng Yifeng: ?

Lu Yuanqiu's expression changed upon hearing this, and he turned around: "Junjun, Uncle Lu orders you to stop thinking! You can't secretly bring him spicy snacks, understand?"

"Hmph." Lu Yanhe rolled her eyes at her father, lowered her head, and rested her chin on her hands with an unhappy expression.

Spicy snacks and carbonated drinks are things that Shuo Shuo can eat and drink without worry, but his grandparents won't let him touch them. His parents are doing the same now. It's all because Zheng Wanjun ruined her teeth by eating too much candy that her parents have become strict with her.

He dislikes Zheng Wanjun.

Lu Yanhe: "Tch, my dad won't let you take it, you can't take it."

Zheng Wanjun: "Your father can't control me."

Zheng Yifeng: "Then can I control you?"

Zheng Wanjun: "You can't control Yanyan. If Yanyan says I can take her, then I can take her."

Lu Yuanqiu: "I can manage Yan Yan, I can make him not say that you should take care of her."

Zheng Wanjun: "But Uncle Lu can't control me. I can ask Yanyan to let me take care of her."

"Wait a minute, this is so messy..." Lu Yuanqiu held his head, his head throbbing with pain.

"There are children ahead!" Zheng Yifeng suddenly grabbed his arm.

Lu Yuanqiu slammed on the brakes.

The car stopped just in time. A little girl in front of him was so startled that she took a step back. Lu Yuanqiu looked ahead, exhaled, and quickly opened the car door, walked over, and squatted down in front of her.

"Little friend, were you scared? Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Remember to look where you're going next time you cross the street. Come on, hold Uncle's hand, Uncle will help you cross, okay?"

The little girl looked to be about six years old. Her hair was dry and yellowish, tied in a simple ponytail at the back of her head with a thin orange hair tie. She wore an old and unfashionable pink lace short-sleeved shirt, and her backpack was also pink, old and dirty. She looked very thin and malnourished, and her eyes under her hair revealed a hint of panic when she met a stranger.

She retreated like a startled deer, avoiding Lu Yuanqiu, stole a glance at him, and then quickly ran across the road.

It feels familiar...

Lu Yuanqiu stood up and silently watched her retreating figure.

It looks like this little girl is also going to Xiazhi Road Elementary School. Did she come by herself? Her parents didn't even see her off.

Zheng Yifeng got out of the car and asked him, "Are you alright?"

"It's nothing, I didn't bump into her. You're the one who startled me. I saw her a long time ago." Lu Yuanqiu turned around and put his hands on his hips.

He got into the car and closed the door.

Lu Yanhe looked out the car window at the running figure and saw her run into Xiazhi Road Primary School.

"Dad, she goes to the same school as us."

"I can tell."

After parking the car, Lu Yuanqiu and Zheng Yifeng led their child into the school. Today was the first day of school for first graders, and many parents had come. Cars of all sizes were parked at the entrance, as if they were deliberately showing off their wealth.

In 2023, family living conditions improved, and almost every family owned a car.

Upon arriving at Class 1, Grade 1, a young girl with a row of buck teeth stood at the door. As soon as she opened her mouth, spittle sprayed directly onto Lu Yanhe and Zheng Wanjun's faces.

The two little ones closed their eyes to receive the baptism.

Lu Yuanqiu and Zheng Yifeng exchanged a silent glance, both knowing what the other wanted to complain about.

"Wow~ Is this your child? So cute~" the buck-toothed teacher asked with a smile.

“Yes, it’s our child,” Lu Yuanqiu replied.

After he finished speaking, his expression suddenly paused, and his left eyebrow rose... This sounded rather strange.

Zheng Yifeng corrected him with a wooden face: "It's his child, and it's my child. His child's name is Lu Yanhe, and my child's name is Zheng Wanjun."

"Pfft! Sorry, sorry, I misspoke!" The buck-toothed teacher laughed.

Lu Yanhe and Zheng Wanjun, the two little ones, closed their eyes again, their faces covered in drool.

Zheng Wanjun silently took out a tissue from her small bag.

Lu Yanhe wiped his face directly with his hands. He turned his head to look into the classroom and found that many children were already sitting inside, and their cheeks were wet.

Huh? The person I almost bumped into is in this class too!

Lu Yanhe looked back and saw that pink figure sitting in the far corner of the back row of the classroom, right next to the trash can. She didn't have a deskmate.

"Ah! It's Lu Yanhe and Zheng Wanjun! The two little ones' seats are over there, all arranged, the first row below the podium, they're deskmates." The buck-toothed teacher pointed.

Lu Yuanqiu nodded in satisfaction.

"By the way, parents," the buck-toothed teacher suddenly handed over a form. "This is an application form for the first-grade welcome party, which will be held in the auditorium. Would you like to sign up and perform a program with your child? The audience will be all the first-grade parents and students, no one else."

Zheng Yifeng glanced at the date and shook his head, saying, "My family is going to Zhucheng on September 19th, so we probably won't be able to attend."

"It's okay, performing is not mandatory, and watching is not mandatory."

"Dad, it's Mom's birthday that day! We want to go!!" Lu Yanhe raised her hand high.

Lu Yuanqiu smiled and patted his head.

Huh? He suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of what to write for the last part of the novel "Youth".

Courtyard No. 1.

"You mean, we'll perform a show with Yan Yan, and then you'll write it into a novel, as the ending of a comic?"

Bai Qingxia untied her apron and placed it on the table beside her. Seeing that Lu Yanhe wanted to reach out and grab the chicken wings directly, she gently tapped her son's hand with her chopsticks and gave him a reproachful look. Lu Yanhe pouted, raised his head, stretched out his arm, and used his children's chopsticks to pick them up.

Lu Yuanqiu moved the plate closer to his son and nodded in response to his wife: "Yes, after such a long hiatus, let's end the comic with a relatively beautiful parent-child scene."

Bai Qingxia: "Then what will the three of us perform?"

Lu Yanhe shouted, "Perform eating spicy strips!"

Bai Qingxia automatically imagined a family of three slurping spicy snacks in the auditorium, and her lips twitched.

Lu Yuanqiu ignored his son's suggestion and said, "Let's just sing a song together."

"What song? I'm tone-deaf..." Bai Qingxia said timidly as she picked up some food.
