This feeling of suddenly having hope, only to be dashed, is as unpleasant as swallowing a fly!
Especially Lele's mother, who was kicking her chest and sighing, "I should have let my child scribble on things too!"
But everyone knew in their hearts that there was really no hope this time, so they could only walk out dejectedly.
Even the teaching assistant who had previously administered the exams ran away.
That guy was forced in by the art association. The old man said he didn't like him, so Teacher Wu took the opportunity to get rid of him.
The two remaining families filled out the forms and exchanged names.
Zhou Qiqi then learned that the little boy's name was Zhuo Guangming, and that he would be classmates with Shen Duzhou from now on.
However, one of them was a student of Teacher Wu, and the other was a student of Grandpa Wu.
With this, the dust has settled on this exam.
By the time I finished filling out the forms and paying the fees, it was already 11:30 a.m.
After agreeing that classes would officially begin next Saturday, everyone gradually dispersed.
In the Wu family's dining room, the eldest sister-in-law, who was in charge of cooking, brought out all the dishes early in the morning.
Grandpa Wu ate with gusto, slurping loudly, and even waved to us.
"Aunt Li, please serve me another bowl of rice."
Wu's eldest son, sitting opposite him, suddenly widened his eyes.
"Oh my, this is really strange. The old man usually needs to be coaxed to eat a few bites, why is he having such a good appetite today?"
Ms. Wu smiled and brought him a glass of water.
"The old man has a prized student today, how could he not be happy?"
"ah?"
Amidst the family's surprised exclamations, Teacher Wu recounted what had happened that morning, concluding with a sigh.
"The little girl is indeed very talented in drawing, but unfortunately she can't speak for some reason, which is a big drawback."
Teacher Fei had mentioned this before, and Zhou Qiqi had also specifically mentioned it earlier, but Teacher Wu still had some doubts.
Unexpectedly, the old man, who had been silently eating, suddenly spoke up, his eyes full of satisfaction with Shen Duzhou.
"What kind of flaw is that? She puts everything she wants to say into her paintings, maybe that's a good thing! Besides..."
The old man picked at his ear and glanced sideways at his daughter.
"I hate all this noise. You guys are buzzing in my ear all day long, like a swarm of mosquitoes!"
Teacher Wu was used to her father's stubbornness and would directly contradict him.
"Come on, you're clearly annoyed that we're disturbing your sleep. You're so old, why are you acting like a child?"
The old man's ears turned red.
"Don't talk nonsense! You can't say that in front of my students in the future!"
The brother and sister looked at each other and smiled.
I remember the old man was reported by his students before. Although he was exonerated, he became depressed and didn't even want to touch a paintbrush. Now he has taken the initiative to take on students.
To teach children to draw, you have to start drawing yourself first.
The two men tacitly added meat to the old man's bowl, their eyes filled with satisfaction.
Meanwhile, in a ward at the military hospital, Shen Huaichuan was serving food to Zhou Qiqi and Zhouzhou.
He specially asked Qin Lei to buy steamed sea bass from the military region restaurant. It was very fresh and had no small bones at all.
There is also a sweet and sour pork tenderloin.
Whenever Zhou Qiqi cooks, if there are children around, she will make a dish that the children like to eat.
He saw it all, remembered it, and then put it into action.
Zhou Qiqi had experienced a turmoil in the morning, but now, looking at the table full of hot food, she felt warm inside.
As she stuffed food into her mouth, she vividly recounted what had happened that morning, and finally pinched Zhouzhou's little face.
"Our Zhouzhou is the best, isn't she?"
The little girl was not shy at all when she was outside, but at this moment she became shy and buried her head in the bowl without saying a word.
Zhou Qiqi didn't tease her, but picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork and brought it to her lips.
Just as she was about to add some food to her plate, Shen Huaichuan's chopsticks reached out, his gaze gentle.
"You're amazing too."
"I'm not a child anymore, what's this about being amazing or not?"
Zhou Qiqi blushed and bit into the meat, then lowered her head to eat rice, just like Zhouzhou.
Shen Huaichuan picked up another piece of fish for Zhouzhou. Seeing the two of them chewing with their cheeks puffed out, like two fluffy little squirrels, his heart melted.
I was engrossed in watching when suddenly a large head popped out from the opposite side.
Qin Lei deliberately opened his mouth wide and made faces.
"Commander, what about me! Where's my meat?"
If Qiqi and Zhouzhou are little squirrels, then this one is a big rat.
Shen Huaichuan didn't even lift his eyelids, picking out a slice of ginger from the perch and throwing it into his mouth.
"Hiss—it's so spicy! Commander, you're so biased!"
Qin Lei was so spicy he stuck out his tongue and exaggeratedly pretended to be pitiful.
Zhou Qiqi and Zhouzhou were amused by him and covered their mouths, and laughter immediately filled the ward.
After finishing their meal and resting in the ward, Zhou Qiqi took Zhouzhou to buy a lot of things they would need for class before returning to the military region.
Zhouzhou was drawing at home when she went to Deng Cuixiang's house. She was humming a song absentmindedly and went to the wrong side, ending up at the back door.
I saw six or seven military wives gathered together, picking vegetables and chatting animatedly.
The one in the lead, of course, is Qiu Chunfang, that big mouth.
"That's right, I live next door. I see her bringing things back every few days, and it's always a big bag!"
The other person picking green beans nodded repeatedly.
"I saw it too! Today she was with that little girl, Chen Duzhou, carrying a whole bunch of bags! They all looked like they were for drawing!"
"This vixen thinks Commander Chen's money is like water coming from a tap! She's spending it like this!"
"Commander Shen is still in the hospital! If he finds out, he'll probably be furious!"
The two of them were talking back and forth, while a woman with a big belly next to them spoke with a sour tone.
"Yes, she doesn't even take the child to see a doctor. She just does all that fancy stuff and puts on a show! What a cruel heart! Commander Shen and the young girl will probably be cursed to death by her sooner or later!"
Li Hongjuan, who was sitting at the very back, hadn't said a word until now, but she gave a sinister smile.
"As for Commander Shen's family, who knows who's the nemesis of whom!"
These are the ones who were tricked by Zhou Qiqi and ended up in the cesspool, plus two military wives who always love to join in the fun.
Zhou Qiqi, who was behind them, initially took it as a joke and even considered airlifting some Liuliumei plums to them.
But as they listened, they started talking about Shen Huaichuan, and I couldn't stand it anymore. I was about to make a move.
With a creak, the back door of Deng Cuixiang's house opened.
She carried a basin of excrement and mercilessly splashed it at the feet of several gossipy women—
"Watch your mouths, all of you! Have some decency! You think you can take a bath in a latrine because you don't have a public bathhouse at home?"
