It was almost eleven o'clock. Li Xianglian was cooking in the kitchen, and Lin Lu was drowsy in the yard.

A gust of wind blew, and there was a sound from the courtyard gate.

"Excuse me, is this Lin Jingbei's home?"

Lin Lu woke up immediately, slid his wheelchair to the door, opened it, and saw a young woman standing outside.

"Who are you?"

Seeing Lin Lu, the woman was also shocked. "Hello, I'm Mr. Han, Lin Jingbei's homeroom teacher. He didn't go to school today, so I came to ask about him."

Lin Lu remembered what his father said last night.

"Didn't he ask for leave?"

Han Junmei was surprised: "I didn't receive his leave note."

There was one more thing she needed to tell her parents.

Lin Lu invited her in: "Teacher Han, please come in."

Han Junmei had just sat down when Li Xianglian, who had peeked out of the kitchen, recognized her and said, "Teacher Han, how come you have time to come here today?"

Li Xianglian attended a parent-teacher meeting for Lin Jingbei last semester and met Han Junmei.

"Aunt Li, I have something to tell you, so I came over for a home visit." Han Junmei said with a smile.

Lin Lu poured her a glass of water, saying there was no tea at home.

"Thank you. Are you Lin Jingbei's classmate?"

"I'm his mother."

"Well, you look so young."

Lin Lu, "I'm not young anymore, I'm almost thirty."

She seemed to be frozen in time during those years she lay in bed, with no change. With her fair skin and good looks, she looked no different from a college student.

It was this leg. Han Junmei had never heard Lin Jingbei mention it before. She had always thought that the child was from a single-parent family.

"Then you got married quite young."

Lin Lu: “Yeah.”

Li Xianglian put the dishes on the fire and came out, "Teacher Han, is there something wrong with my Xiaobei?"

Han Junmei: “…”

To be honest: "He didn't go to class today, and he didn't ask for leave from me. Moreover, I heard from the head teacher that he had a fight with his classmates yesterday, and they asked them to call their parents today, otherwise he would not go to class. So Lin Jingbei simply didn't go to class."

Han Junmei encountered such a thing when she went to class early this morning. The protagonists were the first and second place in their class, which almost made her angry to death.

I wanted to wait for them to go to school and give them a good scolding, but after waiting for a long time, neither of them showed up for class.

The director's face turned green, and she was scared just looking at it.

Li Xianglian was furious: "A fight? Didn't he say he fell and asked for leave? How dare this brat lie?"

Han Junmei soothed him, "Aunt Li, don't get excited. It's normal for boys of this age to fight. As long as they admit their mistakes and correct them, it's fine."

The problem now is that he doesn't intend to change.

"Okay, Teacher Han, don't worry. I will definitely send that kid to school this afternoon." Li Xianglian promised.

Han Junmei: "Isn't he at home?"

"Maybe he was afraid his father would find out, so he went to the orchard and didn't come back last night."

Han Junmei: "Today's children need good guidance and education from their parents. Academic performance isn't the only criterion; a child's physical and mental health is also crucial. I've noticed that Lin Jingbei is quite withdrawn and doesn't seem to have many friends at school."

This is also one of the purposes of her home visits.

Li Xianglian didn’t understand this.

She smirked, "That kid might have inherited his mother's temperament. She was like this when she was little. She didn't like making friends and just studied on her own."

Han Junmei looked at Lin Lu and said, "I see. But I think parents should still provide guidance. Making more friends isn't a bad thing."

Lin Lu: "Okay, we'll tell his dad."

Han Junmei: Is she really my biological mother?

"A child's growth stage requires the involvement of both parents. You and your spouse should spend more time with your child."

Many children show indifference to the outside world because they lack parental love at home.

"Okay, teacher." Lin Lu agreed.

She didn't take it to heart. Teacher Han advised earnestly, "Jingbei's mother, I still think you should pay more attention to your child. Although Lin Jingbei has good grades, I'm worried that if things continue like this, he won't be able to adapt to society after entering it. While financial conditions are important, caring for your child is equally important."

Lin Lu: "Thank you, Teacher Han. We will spend more time with him in the future."

"You should come to school this afternoon. The director needs to meet with both of your parents to resolve this matter."

"Okay, I'll definitely go there in the afternoon," said Li Xianglian.

"Okay, then I won't bother you anymore. I'll come visit you again when I have time."

Li Xianglian asked him to stay. "The food is ready. Teacher Han, please eat at my house before leaving."

Han Junmei: "No, I'll come back when I have time. I have something else to do this afternoon."

Li Xianglian saw her off to the door, but was greeted by Song Chen.

He put his bicycle aside and asked, "Is that Lin Jingbei's homeroom teacher?"

Li Xianglian: "Yes, I'm here for a home visit."

Song Chen, "Did you say anything?"

Li Xianglian couldn't help herself and told him about the bad boy's misdeeds. "He got into a fight at school, and the teacher told him to call his parents, but he just didn't go."

Song Chen frowned and got on his bike again. "I'll go see him."

Looking at the receding figure, Li Xianglian slapped her own lips and said, "I'm sorry, grandson."

"What's wrong?" Lin Lu asked.

"Your son might be in trouble." Li Xianglian replied.

"The one who just came back is Song Chen?"

"Yes, towards the orchard."

Lin Lu didn't want to interfere in the matter of how to educate Lin Jingbei. She had been absent for so many years and had no right to take care of him. It would be more effective to let Song Chen, his biological father, take action.

…

orchard.

It was time to get off work, and everyone couldn't help but stop when they saw Song Chen coming on his bicycle.

"Has Xiaochen eaten yet?"

"Why is Xiaochen here?"

"I came here for something, Auntie, please go home and have dinner."

He parked his bike and went into the warehouse.

His sisters-in-law were still loading the goods, while the little brat Lin Jingbei was eating a bowl of noodles with big mouthfuls.

Song Chen kicked the leg of the stool he was sitting on and reached out to take his bowl.

Lin Jingbei was enjoying his meal, but he almost swore when he was treated like that. When he looked up, he saw that the angry lion was his father.

Seeing his expression, Lin Jingbei guessed that the truth had been revealed and did not try to argue any further, "Why are you here?"

Song Chen sneered, "You've become quite capable, fighting with others and lying to skip classes. Who taught you that?"

Several sisters-in-law stopped what they were doing and looked over, thinking for a moment that they had misheard.

Lin Jingbei muttered: "It's not like you didn't get beaten when you were a kid."

He has been with Song Chen more often in recent years and has a deep affection for his biological father, so he is not that afraid of Song Chen.

Song Chen kicked him again, this time hitting his leg hard.

Lin Jingbei covered his calf and cried softly, and his second aunt came over and pulled Song Chen away.

"Fourth Brother, if you have something to say, please talk to me nicely. Don't treat the child like this."
