Xu Zhengyang was stunned for a long time, but finally left.

The back view is not elegant, but rather a bit lonely.

Shen Jiaojiao and Xu Mo looked at each other, feeling deeply powerless.

Now that things have come to this, even the slowest person can understand the truth.

Forget it, everyone has their own destiny, and they can’t put a knife on someone’s neck and force them to take the college entrance examination!

Anyway, the good and the bad have been explained, it just depends on your luck.

Xu Mo was afraid that Shen Jiaojiao would think too much, so he said, "Brother has a stable personality and is unwilling to do risky things. He likes a simple life, so let him be!"

Shen Jiaojiao just felt it was a pity. Perhaps people really pursue different things, and it was impossible for her to influence other people's thoughts.

Shen Jiaojiao and Xu Mo returned to the car.

Mother Shen had already gone to the hotel to pack the food, and she calculated the timing perfectly, and the food was still hot.

"Jiaojiao, where is your elder brother?" Mother Shen asked.

"Oh, he went back for something."

Shen Jiaojiao didn't want to say anything more and just started eating.

The Shen family were all smart people, so they naturally guessed some of the reasons and did not ask any more questions.

Shen Jiaojiao took two mouthfuls of rice and suddenly remembered Zhao Haitang.

I was just thinking about Xu Zhengyang's affairs and forgot about Zhao Haitang.

"Mom, isn't Haitang here yet?"

"I didn't see her!"

"Then I'll go down and find her."

Shen Jiaojiao got out of the car and looked around outside.

At this time, the school was full of candidates.

Because they had an exam in the afternoon, they couldn't go home at noon. Groups of them squatted in the corners of the walls, gnawing on the dry and hard steamed buns they brought with them.

The wind was howling, the weather was freezing, and there seemed to be sporadic snowflakes floating in the air.

Although it is cold, it cannot dampen the enthusiasm of the students.

When Shen Jiaojiao found Zhao Haitang, she was gnawing on a tree at the corner of the wall.

The little girl was wearing thin clothes, her hands holding the baby's head were red, and she was shivering with cold.

Shen Jiaojiao sighed.

Come forward.

"Haitang, go to the car and warm up. I want to go over the test answers with you."

She knew that Zhao Haitang didn't want to take advantage of her, so she didn't invite her to lunch.

Zhao Haitang stuffed the Wo Wo Tou into his mouth and drank a mouthful of the already cold water. Then he stood up, patted the Wo Wo Tou crumbs that fell on his body, and said with a smile, "Okay!"

When the two of them were walking back together, they saw Ye Huan stumbling in at the school gate.

"Comrade, why are you all outside? Hasn't the exam started yet?" Ye Huan grabbed someone at random and asked anxiously.

"You have already passed the morning session. You have missed it."

Ye Huan collapsed immediately.

She walked for a long time and her feet were all worn out. She thought she could catch up, but unexpectedly she missed it.

Why is her life so miserable!

Ye Huan cried bitterly in the cold wind, and no one paid any attention to her.

Shen Jiaojiao took a look without any expression and took Zhao Haitang into the car.

After Xu Zhengyang left school, he found a bullock cart and returned to the village.

Sitting in the car, facing the howling cold wind, I felt a little heavy.

He also understood what Shen Jiaojiao had just said to him.

In fact, he really doesn't have any ambitions. He just wants to live an ordinary life with his wife and children.

It’s other people’s business if they have money. He doesn’t steal or rob others. He gets a stable salary every month. Although his life is a little hard, he lives a free and easy life!

He doesn't have any great abilities, but at least he won't let down his wife or mistreat his children.

He will try his best to give his children a good life.

Nothing is more important than staying with your wife and children.

Xu Zhengyang felt better thinking about this.

When I returned home on the ox cart, I saw Liu Xiaolan holding Ping An and learning to walk in the yard.

The little guy is one year old now and can walk slowly, but he still can't speak.

Sometimes I would simply call out "Dad, Mom." But the pronunciation was not very standard.

This is the name Shen Jiaojiao taught the little guy to call dad and mom.

Shen Jiaojiao said that the pronunciation of "dad" and "mom" is the simplest and easy for children to learn.

If you want to call daddy or mommy, you have to wait until you can really speak.

What’s more, after teaching Ping An to call dad and mom, the little guy would occasionally utter the words dad and mom.

"Xu Zhengyang, didn't you go to take the exam? Why are you back?"

Liu Xiaolan looked suspicious when she saw the person at the door.

Xu Zhengyang felt a little guilty. He walked to Ping An, squatted down, and coaxed the child first. Then he said to Liu Xiaolan, "I don't want to take the exam anymore."

Liu Xiaolan looked at Xu Zhengyang as if he were a fool.

His face was full of shock.

"Tell me what's going on with you. Why don't you want to take the exam?"

Xu Zhengyang picked up Ping An, stood up, and repeated his thoughts.

Liu Xiaolan rolled her eyes and was speechless.

He stared at Xu Zhengyang with frowns on his face. The more he looked, the more doubtful he became as to whether this was his son.

Could it be that I gave birth to him by mistake?

Otherwise, how could such a useless guy be born.

He had the chance to leap over the dragon gate, but he gave up. How cool!

Liu Xiaolan let out a deep breath and was too lazy to get angry.

She is old and can't control these children who have grown up.

I think his brothers and sisters have already explained to him the pros and cons, and if he still insists on doing this, there is really no hope for him.

If it is destined to happen, it will happen. If it is not destined to happen, don’t force it.

You have to finish the path you choose, even if you have to kneel down.

Liu Xiaolan said calmly, "You have failed your brother and sister's kindness! I gave you review materials, but you have wasted those books. Give them to me later and I will go and light the stove."

After saying this, he didn't bother to take Ping An with him. Instead, he picked up the backpack and prepared to go out.

"Mom, where are you going?"

"Just go to work. Am I counting on you to support me in my old age?"

"What about Ping An?"

Liu Xiaolan snorted, "I'll help you take care of the child until he's one year old, and then I won't care about him anymore. You don't have much ambition anyway, so just stay at home and take care of the child!"

Liu Xiaolan left in frustration.

Xu Zhengyang sighed helplessly.

I carried Ping An back to the house.

Ping An started to cry loudly.

Xu Zhengyang held the boy and tried to comfort him for a while, but failed to stop him from crying. He guessed that he might be hungry, so he quickly put him on the kang and prepared to make some malted milk.

I opened the can of maltose in a panic, only to find that the maltose was almost gone.

A small family needs four or five bottles of maltose every month, which is a considerable expense.

I was thinking about buying a few cans of maltose for the kid later.

I scraped out just enough for one meal from the bottom of the bottle, made some soup for the little guy, and comforted him temporarily.

Thinking that I hadn't had lunch yet, I opened the pantry and prepared to make some food.

There was only a bowl of corn grits left in the cupboard.

It suddenly occurred to him that Huahua had told him yesterday that there was not much food at home and asked him to go to the grocery store to buy some food after the exam today.

You need 50 kilograms of white flour, 50 kilograms of corn flour, and 20 kilograms of sweet potatoes that are easy to store.

The children at home haven't eaten meat for a long time, so they need one pound of meat, two pounds of salt, and various cheap vegetables that are easy to store.

This is one month's food supply for the whole family.

This does not include the game that Sun Huahua occasionally went to the mountains to hunt.

When Xu Zhengyang thought of this, he went to get the piggy bank from home.
