Chapter 469
The child tried to prove his innocence, and his childish voice was amplified to the loudest: "Teacher Nian! I am not talking nonsense."
Teacher Nian was embarrassed and her face gradually turned red.
The child pointed with his little finger and said: "Mom, look, the teacher is blushing. She is lying."
Teacher Nian: “.” She forced a smile and said, “Qing’an, how could a teacher lie?”
The child was about to continue to talk back.
Teacher Nian interrupted, "Qing'an's mother, you should also take care of her."
The child was so anxious that he was about to cry.
Ying Sisi already understood that the teacher had a serious problem herself. Considering that this was their first meeting and her child would be relying on her for future schooling, she took over the teacher's words and said, "Qing'an, the teacher's description of you is not wrong: solid, not naughty, and honest."
Teacher Nian responded repeatedly: "Yes, Qing'an, you are not naughty, but honest and well-behaved. That's what I wanted to say, but you misinterpreted my meaning." She blamed the mistake on the child.
The child has limited understanding and thought the teacher was praising her, so she started laughing again. That's pretty good.
She sat obediently next to Ying Sisi.
Ying Sisi touched the child's head with heartache. The child was only three years old, but he was already targeted by the teacher.
Poor doll.
But now is not the time to settle accounts.
She controlled the topic and asked the teacher about Zhu Qing'an's performance in school and how he got along with the other children in the class.
Teacher Nian hadn't expected Zhu Qing'an to be so subjective, and fearing she'd be publicly corrected again, she had no choice but to tell Ying Sisi the truth and then inquire about Zhu Qing'an's family members: "I saw the parental information she filled out at school. Her father's last name is Qin, and yours is Ying. She doesn't take either her father's or mother's surname. Did something happen at home?"
Is he the man’s illegitimate child?
Taking the surname of the previous woman, and not changing it yet?
She looked at the woman in front of her, she was very young.
At most, she is in her early twenties and doesn't look like she has ever given birth to a child.
"I am." Zhu Qingan wanted to introduce himself.
"Qing'an, adults are talking, so don't interrupt. The shop downstairs sells popsicles. Here are fifty cents. Find a lunch box for yourself." Ying Sisi gave the child fifty cents: "Do you know how to buy things?"
"I know. I choose first, then ask the price. If I have enough money, I'll pay for it. Mom, I know how to do it. Dad taught me. I can even count to a dollar. What flavor of popsicle do you want?"
Ying Sisi: "Milk bar, Teacher Nian, what flavor do you want?"
"Oh, I don't need it."
Ying Sisi: "Qing'an, why don't you pick a milk one for the teacher as well."
"If the teacher doesn't eat, I will eat it." He patted his pocket, made sure the money was still there, took the lunch box and ran away.
Teacher Nian: “…” This damn kid has no sense at all! He is really annoying.
It would be best to let the human traffickers take the child downstairs, so that the mother and the child will no longer be an eyesore to her.
Without the children in the room, it suddenly became quiet.
Ying Sisi turned to face Teacher Nian again and carefully considered her words. "Teacher Nian, you just said that the child doesn't have our surname because the circumstances surrounding her birth were quite special. I'm not in a position to go into detail, but she takes her great-grandmother's surname."
Teacher Nian hesitated to ask further questions. "I see. I'd like to share some advice on the child's development. I'd like the father to listen as well. A child's growth requires the participation of both parents."
Ying Sisi felt something was not right. Weren’t they involved?
And on weekdays, since Qin Yanci was on his way, he was almost always the one to pick him up, rain or shine, which the teacher had just mentioned. But today, he didn't stay home for her home visit, so he was considered absent from his child's growth?
My father-in-law said yesterday that Uncle Shen was coming home.
I guess I will go to the courtyard with Qin Yanci in the afternoon.
She planned to bring the teacher over, and have her father-in-law give the teacher some instructions first, and then she would teach the teacher a lesson.
Thinking of this, she smiled and said, "Well, here's how. The child's father is free this afternoon. If you're not busy, come with me and we'll listen to your advice on the child's growth. I'll definitely raise the child according to your requirements."
Teacher Nian's eyes lit up: "That's great. When do we leave?"
"It's scorching outside right now. How about waiting until after two o'clock? I bought some beef ribs and will treat you here later."
"You're welcome." Teacher Nian smiled and paused for a moment before saying, "Qing'an has been out for a while, right? Should we go downstairs and look for him?" This mother is definitely not her biological child. A three-year-old child went downstairs to buy things by himself.
It's been so long, and there's no rush.
As she spoke, she stood up and walked out of the room, only to see the child appear at the stairs, sweating profusely. She felt a sense of loss in her heart. How could he have returned so safely?
Zhu Qingan saw the teacher and glared at him secretly.
Dad said that when facing dishonest people, just slap them.
It’s a pity that she is too young to be slapped, otherwise she would definitely make the teacher pay.
My mother said that when facing someone you don’t like, sometimes you have to pretend that you like them.
Now, is this what mom says sometimes?
She wasn't sure, so after thinking for a moment, she forced a smile and said, "Teacher, I'm back. You must have been waiting anxiously."
Teacher Nian: “.” Who is waiting impatiently?
It made her look like she was so greedy that she was eager to eat the popsicle.
After the child entered the house, he immediately opened the lunch box and pushed it in front of Ying Sisi: "Mom, you take it first."
"Let the teacher take it first, she is a distinguished guest." Ying Sisi said.
"Teacher Nian, you choose first." The child stared at the red bean-flavored popsicle while speaking.
When Teacher Nian noticed this, she curled her lips and said, "Aren't you honest and well-behaved?" She picked up the red bean-flavored popsicle.
The child said happily: "Mom, I want to eat the same flavor as you, let's cut it into shreds~" Did you think red beans were her favorite?
Humph.
It’s not that easy to control her.
Ying Sisi chuckled: "You've learned it quite well."
"I can do other things, for example," the child showed off the words he learned during the exam.
The mother and daughter talked and laughed.
Teacher Nian was fooled and then left it aside: "Your family is still learning English. Aren't you afraid of being reported by someone with ulterior motives? You admire foreign culture."
"Knowing yourself and your enemy ensures victory in every battle. Learning their language is the way to better understand them and thus defeat them." Ying Sisi's words were flawless. The teacher couldn't catch her pigtails and smiled politely, "Hey."
Ying Sisi finished eating the popsicle, washed the rice and steamed it.
Teacher Nian said he wanted to help, but he didn't move.
Ying Sisi said, "You don't have to do it, it will be ready in a moment." She chopped the beef ribs and the child had already prepared the side dishes.
Teacher Nian asked, "Qing'an is so diligent? Do you usually do these things at home?"
"We have a cook at home. If you live at home, you don't have to cook. When I'm outside like today, she will help me." Ying Sisi worked for nearly an hour and a half to prepare the meal and invited the teacher to eat.
