strangeness
The bell was ringing, and students came in one by one and took their seats. Zeng Mu, who was sitting by the window, saw a familiar figure walking against the flow of time on the playground.
This guy is going to skip class again.
There was only one class left, but he didn't know how to hold back. I really don't know what was going on in his mind.
The teacher did not end the last class as usual by dragging it out. After class, Zeng Mu went home slowly, as he had plenty of time anyway.
Walking down the street, I was surrounded by students wearing the same uniform as myself. Occasionally, I would see a different color uniform, which was normal, since there was another school just two blocks away.
On his way home, he suddenly felt something, stopped and looked back at a small pothole on the road.
This pit has been there for a while, why hasn't it been fixed yet? If you're not careful, it could get someone hurt.
I don’t know why this thought suddenly popped up in my mind, Zeng Mu thought so when he turned around.
When he got home, he took a look at his door, turned around, took the key and opened the door of Qin's house.
Unexpectedly, Qin Yichuan wasn't at home. Strange, why did he skip classes? After Uncle Qin finally agreed to buy him a computer, he clearly never skipped classes to play games at the internet cafe again.
Thinking of this, Zeng Mu sat down on the sofa in the living room, took out the textbook from his schoolbag and opened it to read.
About 20 minutes passed before Zeng Mu heard the sound of the door opening.
"You're back late again today." Zeng Mu said this to Qin Yichuan who had just returned home.
"It's obviously you who came back early." Qin Yichuan said as he changed into slippers.
"I'm here because the teacher didn't keep me in class today." Zeng Mu said, glancing at the clock on the wall. It was indeed on time. Qin Yichuan came back at the same time he usually got home. "But I don't know where you went again?"
"I didn't go anywhere." Qin Yichuan muttered while changing his shoes.
"Didn't you skip class again?" Seeing that he didn't admit it, Zeng Mu continued. After saying that, he looked at Qin Yichuan with a look of "How did you know?"
"Forget it, let's start studying." Zeng Mu closed the book and said so. He began to take out the things he had prepared last night from his schoolbag.
Qin Yichuan walked over with a look of despair on his face and sat next to him.
"Hey, get your books. Today's math class." Zeng Mu saw that he was just sitting there, so he had to remind him again. He had already planned the daily curriculum for Qin Yichuan.
It was just that he was like this every day when I tutored him, dragging his feet and not cooperating. He clearly didn't completely understand, but he just didn't seem to be interested in studying at all. Every day he just couldn't get enough sleep and played enough games.
I don't know why he agreed to Uncle Qin's conditions for the sake of the computer, and even signed and sealed it, making it so formal.
"We learned this last time." Unable to bear Qin Yichuan's slow movements, he helped him find the book, turned the pages for him, and handed it to him.
An hour later, Zeng Mu closed the book very punctually and ended the tutoring session.
Qin Yichuan also breathed a sigh of relief, threw away the book and slumped on the sofa.
"Aren't we going to have dinner together today?" He spoke quickly when he saw Zeng Mu was about to leave.
"You want me to cook for you again?" Zeng Mu, who had already walked to the door, turned around and looked at him speechlessly. "Can't you just cook it yourself?"
"That's all I can do. I fired the nanny because I listened to you. Now there's no one to cook dinner for me. You have to be responsible." Qin Yichuan looked back with a righteous look on his face.
"I didn't ask you to fire the nanny." Zeng Mu was speechless.
"You think I'm stupid for keeping a nanny like that for the New Year? How about this, I'll pay for your food, that's fine." Qin Yichuan, who had plenty of pocket money, thought about it and suggested. But he knew in his heart that Zeng Mu would definitely agree.
"Okay, then the salary will be paid daily." Zeng Mu, who was a little short of money recently, agreed after thinking for a moment.
"Okay, I want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs, go make it." Qin Yichuan agreed generously and hurriedly urged him. He walked over to open the door for him and watched Zeng Mu return to the house across the street.
Qin Yichuan had gotten used to eating at the next door these days, and for a while he didn't really want his dad to hire a nanny. On the one hand, now that he was older, he didn't like having strangers over. It felt like their territory was being invaded. On the other hand, he was afraid that someone would come over like the last nanny who had just left, taking advantage of them and taking away the fresh vegetables they didn't use. He thought about this every day and deliberately bought more, then took it home under the pretext that he bought too much and couldn't eat it all. No matter how much money you have, you can't just give it away for nothing.
It didn't take long for Zeng Mu to send him a message. After seeing it, Qin Yichuan immediately grabbed his slippers and went to Zeng's house across the street.
Qin Yichuan glanced at the overly neat furnishings and furniture, then looked at Zeng Mu who was sitting opposite him.
I sighed in my heart, why does a grown man want to be so "virtuous"? The nanny who used to work in his family the longest and is now retired couldn't be as good as him.
The Zeng family members are all similar, quiet and taciturn, with serious faces that are very intimidating. If you eat with them, you probably have to wear something thicker, otherwise you will freeze to death in the middle of the meal.
He only had the courage to come and eat for free when the two adults were not around.
"Auntie, you haven't been home for a few days." Qin Yichuan said something to make conversation. Although this family was usually quiet, the recent encounters between the great uncle and great aunt were even more exciting, with a frightening amount of noise. Thinking about it, it had indeed been a long time since I heard the sound of quarrels in their family, but it definitely didn't mean I missed them.
"Oh, she's on a business trip." Zeng Mu paused, then added, "He's working overtime."
Qin Yichuan also understood the latter sentence which had no beginning or end. He was talking about Uncle Zeng. He didn't know when he hadn't heard the words "my father and my mother" from the mouth of the boy opposite him anymore. It seemed that he didn't want to mention them at all.
As I grow older, I become less concerned and obsessed with the relationship between my parents. I don’t know if it really doesn’t matter anymore.
I guess I've gotten used to it and no longer have any expectations.
Speaking of this, Qin Yichuan didn't know what to say for a moment, and the topic stopped there.
The two of them continued to eat quietly when they suddenly heard a sound, which should be the sound of the door lock turning.
