Chapter 104 I only went to Song's Restaurant four times in a week...

The next day, Song Yu went to school and kept thinking about this question: where should he go after school every day?

"Good morning, Song Yu!" A little girl's crisp voice rang out from beside her.

Song Yu turned around and saw that it was a classmate. He replied, "Good morning."

The little girl gripped the straps of her schoolbag with both hands and ran to his side in a few steps: "Song Yu, where do you live? Is it far from school?"

“It’s not far,” Song Yu said. “It’s just a few minutes’ walk.”

The two children were chatting happily when suddenly a loud "humph" rang out from the side.

Wang Yuhao deliberately ran up to Song Yu and glared at him fiercely: "You tattletale!"

After saying that, he ran away in a flash.

Song Yu found Wang Yuhao's behavior inexplicable and didn't bother to pay him any attention.

The girl accompanying him frowned and said, "Wang Yuhao is so annoying!"

Song Yu gave a soft "hmm". If he disliked someone, he wouldn't say a word to them or give them an extra glance.

But the girl clearly disagreed: "We'll tell Teacher Tang!"

Song Yu didn't want to go to the office and shook his head: "No, let's go back to the classroom, we'll be late."

The girl puffed out her cheeks but didn't say anything.

The two walked into the classroom talking together. As soon as Song Yu sat down, Fu Fu came over and asked, "Song Yu, why did you come with Cheng Jia? When did you two meet?"

Song Yu said, "We met on the road."

Fu Fu asked in surprise, "Do you live in the same neighborhood?"

When Fufu was in kindergarten, it was a kindergarten near our home. At that time, many of the children in her class lived in the same community, so it was very convenient for them to play together.

However, since the primary school was far from Fufu's home, Fufu did not meet any of her primary school classmates from the same neighborhood.

If Cheng Jia and Song Yu lived in the same neighborhood, she would really be envious, because it would mean they could play together often and go to and from school together.

"No, we just bumped into each other at school," Song Yu explained.

Fufu said, "I wish I could live in the same neighborhood as you."

She rested her chin on her hand and fantasized. If only we could visit each other's homes in the same neighborhood, and she could eat Song Yu's mother's cooking, that would be so wonderful!

"Song Yu, have you noticed..." Fu Fu suddenly remembered something and whispered in Song Yu's ear, "I noticed that Wang Yuhao's eyes are swollen. He must have cried last night. I have experience with this!"

Her tone was extremely pleased, and she seemed to be gloating.

Song Yu said "Oh," without even glancing at Wang Yuhao, and nodded, saying, "I understand."

Fu Fu felt that Song Yu was a bit strange most of the time. Song Yu was different from all her friends. Just now, she spoke like her father. Fu Fu's father often said, "I know."

Moreover, Song Yu doesn't seem to get angry; sometimes when they play games, they accidentally hit someone.

If he played with other friends, they would get angry, but Song Yu wouldn't, and he knows a lot of games.

Fu Fu thought that it would be great if Song Yu lived in the same neighborhood as her. She would bring Song Yu into her group of friends, and Song Yu would definitely be very popular.

Although Song Yu didn't want to care about Wang Yuhao, Cheng Jia couldn't suppress her impulse. Children always like to tattle, so before class started, she ran to the office and told them exactly what happened when Wang Yuhao scolded Song Yu.

Teacher Tang felt her temples throbbing: "I understand, you can go now."

Having achieved her goal, Cheng Jia smiled happily and skipped back to the classroom.

Teacher Liang in the office clicked her tongue: "In just two days since the start of the semester, nine out of ten students who come to the office are complaining about Wang Yuhao. Are his parents even going to do anything about it?"

Teacher Tang's tone was also somewhat dissatisfied: "I called Wang Yuhao's mother last night. His mother said that the child is young and speaks without thinking, and that she will teach him properly at home."

"What do you mean by 'children speak without restraint'?" Teacher Liang said incredulously. "Does being young mean you can commit murder and arson? It's purely because your parents didn't teach you properly."

Teacher Tang added, "His mother also said that Wang Yuhao's grandmother usually takes care of him. The old lady doesn't know how to take care of children. Her child wasn't like this before; he just isn't used to it when he starts elementary school."

Teacher Liang was furious: "Like father, like son!"

Teacher Tang said, "Seeing that I couldn't communicate with his mother, I called his father as well."

What did his father say?

"We will fight."

One of the teachers in the office said, "What an amazing family!"

Teacher Tang shook her head and called Wang Yuhao to her office alone for a talk, telling him to apologize to Song Yu.

So Song Yu received a harsh apology, and Song Yu said absentmindedly, "Okay, it's okay."

Song Yu is currently worrying about what to do after school. He often makes decisions about himself, such as what clothes, schoolbag, and stationery to buy. As long as he asks, his mother will agree.

But this is a big deal, unlike buying something. Song Yu knows it's important, and once he makes a decision, it won't change for at least this semester.

The more important something is, the clearer and more thorough you need to be. Once you've made a decision, don't regret it. That's what his mother told him, and Song Yu has always done just that.

Fu Fu naturally noticed her good friend's furrowed brow. During the afternoon PE class, Song Yu sat on a small stone bench deep in thought. Fu Fu walked over with a ball and said, "Song Yu, let's go play."

Song Yu said, "I don't want to play today."

"Why?" Fu Fu's eyes widened. In Fu Fu's view, not wanting to play was a very big deal. If a child didn't want to play, then it was ruined!

Song Yu: "I'm thinking about what I should do after school."

Fu Fu sat down next to him, holding a ball, and answered matter-of-factly, "After school, we go home to play and then eat."

“My mom works at a restaurant, and she doesn’t want me to go there because it’s too noisy. I can’t go home either, because no one will cook dinner for me then. I don’t want to go to after-school care either,” Song Yu explained her dilemma.

Fu Fu's eyes lit up instantly. Without even thinking, her clever little brain knew this was a rare opportunity and immediately extended an invitation: "Come to my house!"

"Let me tell you, my house has a big study, you can do your homework with me. After we finish our homework, we can go play in the neighborhood. I have so many friends, you can play whatever game you want. There are also slides and swings in the neighborhood, they're so much fun." Fufu started to imagine, "After you're tired from playing, come to my house for dinner, and I'll introduce you to my mom and dad!"

Although Song Yu was very familiar with Fu Fu, he had never met Fu Fu's parents.

Song Yu: "I don't need to eat at your house, I'll eat at my mom's restaurant."

At the mention of restaurants, Fufu's eyes lit up like car headlights in the dark, her gaze full of anticipation: "Can I eat at your mom's restaurant?"

It's really heartbreaking to say. Ever since Fufu went to Aunt Song's restaurant with her grandma and Grandma Rong, Fufu has fallen in love with it and wants to eat there every day. She also insists on dragging her grandma along.

But Grandma said, "Fufu, no, eating at restaurants costs money. We don't have that much money, so we can't eat at restaurants every day."

When Fu Fu first experienced his family's poverty, he would put his piggy bank next to his pillow every night before going to sleep.

Later, Grandma and Fufu made an agreement that they could go out to eat once a week on Tuesdays. Fufu always looked forward to Tuesdays and was less resistant to going to school on Mondays.

Grandma originally wanted to schedule it for Monday, but unfortunately Song Ji is closed on Mondays.

“Sure!” Song Yu agreed. When Yuanyuan was in kindergarten, she also loved to eat at her mother’s stall, whether it was Bobo Chicken, Oden, or later Mala Tang.

"That's great!" Fu Fu covered her heart, which was pounding with excitement, feeling that happiness had come too suddenly.

The first thing Fufu did after school and saw his grandma was to say, "Grandma, let Song Yu come to our house and do his homework with me!"

She was quite clever; she knew adults loved making kids do homework, and she really didn't understand what was so interesting about it. Grandma Fu almost thought she'd misheard—her granddaughter had actually volunteered to do homework?

Oh, the focus is on Song Yu.

Grandma gently advised, "Fufu, Song Yu has his own home, he would definitely prefer to do his homework at home."

Moreover, Grandma felt that Song Yu's mother wouldn't agree either.

“No, Song Yu is willing!” Fu Fu chattered on and on about what happened in school PE class to her grandma.

Although Fufu was too excited and repeated herself several times, Grandma still understood and immediately had an idea. Fufu had very poor self-discipline, while Song Yu was obviously a self-disciplined child. Although they had only been in school together for a few days, Fufu would tell Grandma every night when she got home which teacher had praised Song Yu that day.

No parent would not want their child to play with outstanding children.

Grandma Fu immediately said, "Okay, Grandma will go talk to Song Yu's mother. Our house is right next to Song's restaurant, so I can pick you up from school together. It'll be convenient!"

Grandma knew that things should be done sooner rather than later, so she went to Song's restaurant immediately.

At this moment, Song Xinran had just heard Song Yu talk about this, and the child's face was full of longing: "Mom, is it okay?"

Song Xinran didn't expect that he would actually find a solution that satisfies both sides. She gently ruffled his hair and said, "Xiao Yu, Mom can agree, but Fu Fu still has her parents and grandmother at home. This is not something Fu Fu can decide on her own."

As soon as she finished speaking, Grandma Fufu led Fufu into the store with a bright smile: "Songyu's mom, I heard from Fufu that you're planning to send Songyu to an after-school care center. There's absolutely no need for that. There are too many people in the after-school care center, and the teachers simply can't take care of everyone. I think it would be better to just let Songyu come to my house and do her homework with Fufu."

Song Yu looked at Song Xinran with bright eyes.

Fu Fu immediately reached out and tugged at Song Xinran's clothes, pleading, "Aunt Song, please let Song Yu do her homework with me. I promise I'll do my homework well and get perfect scores on the exams and win lots of awards!"

All she knew was that adults would be happy to hear these words, just like how her parents always smiled broadly when she told them. However, Fufu overlooked one thing: Song Xinran was Song Yu's mother.

Grandma Fu stood to the side, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. She thought to herself that her granddaughter's ability to make empty promises had improved again, but she had chosen the wrong target.

Song Xinran smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for Fufu to bring the award certificate."

"Very good!"

The two children were the happiest of all, and they immediately went to Fufu's house together.

Fu Fu's parents hadn't come home from get off work yet, and only her grandmother was at home. Fu Fu immediately pulled Song Yu to the study: "Grandma, we need to do our homework. Please knock before you come in."

Grandma was overjoyed to see her granddaughter doing her homework so proactively for the first time: "Okay, okay, you two do your homework, I won't bother you."

Grandma, however, couldn't resist her curiosity and secretly went to the door to listen.

She imagined that the two children would talk from time to time and do their homework from time to time.

This is already very good, because originally Fufu was talking all the time in an attempt to avoid doing his homework.

But today, Grandma Fufu heard Song Yu ask, "Fufu, have you finished writing the new words that Teacher Tang assigned? We need to go to school now."

Fu Fu was very anxious: "Almost there, almost there, wait for me!"

"Hey, don't worry, I'll wait for you. You see, if you get anxious, your writing won't look good." Song Yu's voice was very patient.

Fu Fu was touched: "Song Yu, you're so kind."

Grandma Fufu was overwhelmed with emotion and had no words to express her feelings.

We should be happy, after all, Fufu took the initiative to do his homework today, and he did it seriously, which is really worth celebrating.

But she always tells Fufu to write slower, yet Fufu never says "Grandma, you're so kind" to her. She always says, "I want to finish writing quickly so I can watch TV." She says it so openly and honestly, without any attempt to hide it.

Grandma Fu thought it would be good for the two children to do their homework together, but the premise was that one of them had self-discipline to lead the way.

She went to the kitchen to wash the fruit. The two children had been studying hard and deserved something to eat. Grandma Fufu had even prepared a big meal for them tonight.

Before the fire could even be started, Fu Fu and Song Yu came out of the study together.

Grandma Fu glanced at the time and realized it wasn't even six o'clock yet: "Fu Fu, Song Yu, have you finished your homework?"

“I’m done writing, Grandma, feel free to check it!” Fufu said proudly.

Grandma knew immediately that this was genuine and laughed, "You finished so quickly today. Grandma will make sweet and sour beef with pineapple for you."

Fu Fu shook her head: "I don't want to."

"What's wrong?" Grandma wondered. It turned out that Fufu loved this dish the most and had even given it this name.

Fu Fu said excitedly, "I want to eat at Aunt Song's restaurant!"

Grandma gently reminded everyone, "Today isn't Tuesday."

Fu Fu grinned, her voice particularly cheerful: "It doesn't have to be Tuesday, Song Yu promised me!"

Song Yuxiao smiled and said, "Grandma, I'm taking Fufu to eat. Grandma, come with us."

Grandma said, "Xiao Yu, you can go by yourself. Fu Fu will eat at home."

“No, that won’t work.” Song Yu said seriously. “I’ve already talked to my mom about taking Fufu out to eat.”

Fu Fu nodded frantically beside him.

Grandma looked at Fufu's starry-eyed expression and seemed to understand something. She smiled and said, "Alright, come back after you finish eating."

Fufu: "Okay!"

"Isn't Grandma coming with us?" Song Yu asked.

Grandma Fu Fu smiled kindly: "I won't go. Fu Fu's parents will be back soon."

Grandma Fu thought about it more deeply. Knowing that Song Xinran was not one to take advantage of others, she probably thought that since Song Yu was doing her homework at her house, she would invite Fufu to eat with her, which would be a way of reciprocity.

It's definitely not appropriate for her, an adult, to go alone. Although Grandma was really craving it, adults have their privileges. She can wait until Fufu goes to school tomorrow. She made an appointment with her friend to have lunch at Song's Restaurant.

The adults naturally don't need to follow the rule of going once a week. She's just worried that if she raises Fufu to be a picky eater, he won't eat the food at home anymore.

But adults are different. Grandma Fufu feels that she is quite self-disciplined. Although she can be willful, she only goes to Song Ji four times a week, which is really very restrained.
