Chapter 284 The Smell of Garbage
When Wang Xiaojian returned, Zhang Weihong pretended not to know anything this time. She didn't even glance at Wang Xiaojian, afraid that she wouldn't be able to resist beating him up.
Wang Xiaojian found it strange. He even circled around Zhang Weihong, but Zhang Weihong still ignored him.
That's strange.
In the past, when he came back, Zhang Weihong would always scold him.
Humans are just perverse.
Seeing that Zhang Weihong didn't scold him, Wang Xiaojian still felt uneasy, so he moved closer to Zhang Weihong and deliberately said, "Mom, do I smell bad?"
Why doesn't it smell?
It stinks horribly.
Zhang Weihong couldn't hold back any longer and yelled, "Go take a shower!"
A smile appeared on Wang Xiaojian's face: "This is the mother I know."
Then I went to take a shower, completely satisfied.
Zhang Weihong: "?"
Sometimes she felt that Wang Xiaojian was seriously ill.
The next day, Wang Xiaojian finished breakfast and went to school, his back view revealing a sense of joy.
After Zhang Weihong saw him leave, she closed the door and quietly followed him.
Wang Xiaojian had succeeded many times, so he let his guard down. He never thought that anyone would follow him. He went to the garbage dump and then climbed over to the back of the garbage dump.
The figure simply vanished.
The landfill was piled high with garbage. Behind the landfill was a small space, just big enough for a small child to fit in, with the garbage just enough to cover him.
So Wang Xiaojian has been in this area recently?
Wouldn't it stink to death?
Zhang Weihong was much more patient this time. She wanted to see what kind of mess Wang Xiaojian had been up to these days and where he would go after he got out of the garbage dump.
She waited and waited, but Wang Xiaojian didn't come out. In between, many people came to take out the trash. Zhang Weihong was afraid that they would find her and alert Wang Xiaojian, so she hid.
As a result, Wang Xiaojian just stayed curled up in the garbage dump.
It wasn't until school was over that Wang Xiaojian finally emerged from the garbage dump. He pretended that he had finished school and then walked home.
So that's how he got that trashy smell.
Zhang Weihong was burning with an unnamed rage.
She would rather Wang Xiaojian do something bad than have him stay motionless in the garbage dump all morning.
Good heavens!
Is her son mentally ill?
"Wang Xiaojian!"
Upon hearing Zhang Weihong's voice, Wang Xiaojian didn't even turn around; he instinctively ran away. Of course, he didn't escape; instead, Zhang Weihong grabbed his ear.
"Mother, mother..."
"You still know how to call me 'Mother'? I'm asking you, what are you doing here?"
Wang Xiaojian rolled his eyes and said, "I'm out of school."
He didn't have a watch on him, but whenever he saw children coming over, he knew it was time for school to end, so he would hurry back home.
Zhang Weihong was heartbroken: "Even now, you're still lying to me. I saw everything. What kind of education do you have? Did you study in a garbage dump?"
Wang Xiaojian: "..."
Zhang Weihong gritted her teeth and said, "I just don't understand how you can be so patient. How can you stay in the garbage dump for so long?"
With the situation hopeless, Wang Xiaojian's face was filled with despair.
That night, Shen Zhixia heard screams and chaos erupting from Zhang Weihong's house.
After that, Zhang Weihong became even stricter with Wang Xiaojian and never gave him a chance to skip class again. Wang Xiaojian had no choice but to go to school obediently every day. Zhang Weihong would also test Wang Xiaojian's learning every day and make sure he could answer the questions, otherwise she would not allow him to eat.
Under such high-pressure policies, Wang Xiaojian actually began his school life in a proper manner.
However, when he first started school, he always had a fever, which worried Zhang Weihong a lot.
When Zhang Weihong came over for a visit later, she said to Shen Zhixia, "It's really strange. He always gets a fever every time he goes to school, but after I bring him back, he stops getting a fever, and we don't even need to see a doctor."
These days, fever is still a serious matter. Some people don't receive timely treatment and become delirious from the fever, so Zhang Weihong takes it very seriously.
But later, she discovered that Wang Xiaojian simply didn't want to go to school.
Shen Zhixia said helplessly, "Well, there's nothing we can do about it. If he really hates going to school, then we might as well bring him back."
Zhang Weihong shook her head: "How can this be? With such a good memory, he has overcome blindness. He must study hard, so I made him persevere. Now he finally doesn't have this problem anymore."
She only came to chat with Shen Zhixia after Wang Xiaojian's matter was settled. She had been too busy the past few days to come over.
Shen Zhixia nodded: "That's really great."
Zhang Weihong said, "It's just to let him lay a foundation and get used to the pace of school. We'll send him to primary school tomorrow. I hope he can study more, which will benefit him in the future."
Shen Zhixia nodded and said, "That's true. It's good to be a cultured person. Even in business, you need to do accounting. If you haven't read books, it will be very difficult to manage."
Zhang Weihong agreed, saying, "I think so too. The child's father said it doesn't matter and that Wang Xiaojian can join the army like him in the future. I think that even if he joins the army, he shouldn't be illiterate. The child's father is lucky that he didn't encounter the literacy campaign, otherwise he wouldn't be qualified to join the army."
Shen Zhixia smiled but didn't say anything.
There are actually quite a few illiterate people in the military. Most of these soldiers joined the army very early and haven't received much formal education.
Later, a literacy campaign was launched in the military, and only then did they begin to teach these soldiers to read and write. Otherwise, it is estimated that most of them would not have been able to write their own names.
When I got back, I saw Huo's mother feeding the two babies complementary food.
Today she made minced meat, which means she chopped the meat very finely and then steamed it with mashed yam and potatoes. It looks delicious.
Shen Zhixia had tried it before and found it fragrant and sticky. She had to admit that Huo's mother's cooking was really delicious; no wonder she had raised her two babies to be so chubby.
She felt that the two babies seemed to have gained a lot of weight compared to before.
Shen Zhixia couldn't help but go over and squeeze Da Bao's little hand. There were five white dimples on the back of her hand, which were very obvious.
"Aren't you too fat? Hmm?" Shen Zhixia teased her.
"Ah." Da Bao understood and pulled his hand back.
Mrs. Huo felt sorry for her: "Don't say she's fat. She understands. She's not fat at all. She's just chubby, right, Da Bao? We're chubby, not fat at all."
Da Bao, with his chubby face, nodded and said, "Mm."
Shen Zhixia couldn't help but chuckle: "So you really can understand it."
Mother Huo said, "They are very clever and they are in close contact with us every day. Of course they understand everything. You must not talk nonsense in front of them, lest they hold a grudge."
Shen Zhixia laughed so hard: "They're so small, how could they hold a grudge?"
