Chapter 84 I'll Bully You If I Like You
Little Peach Blossom looked at her friend with envy: "Is going to school fun?" She was already envious of going to school, and now that she heard her friends talking about it, Little Peach Blossom couldn't help but ask.
"Of course it's fun! Kids from several brigades in the commune attend classes together at school. There are many kids from other production brigades in my class. Of course, I'm pretty good in my class, and a lot of people listen to me!" She couldn't help but show off a little as she spoke.
"Wow!" Even those who hadn't started school yet were exclaiming with envy, including Little Peach Blossom.
Bathed in the envious gazes of so many children, the other person's expression became even more proud.
Little Peach Blossom sniffed: "I still have two more years before I can go to school. My parents say I'm still too young."
The other person glanced at Little Peach Blossom and nodded: "You're too young now, but that's okay. We can talk to you about going to school."
Not to be outdone, someone quickly chimed in: "Yes, yes, Little Peach Blossom, listen to me! Our classmates are so stupid. One of the boys insisted on pulling a girl's pigtails and ended up being punished by the teacher to stand at the door. It was so embarrassing."
"Being punished by standing? That's awful!" someone exclaimed.
"Hmph, he deserved it! He pulled out a girl's pretty braid. If someone pulled your braid, Little Peach Blossom, I would definitely beat him up!" She raised her little fist, looking very angry, and her words were full of genuine emotion.
However, no one was willing to let Xiao Taohua be introduced like this: "Yes, yes, Xiao Taohua, if anyone dares to bully you at school, you must tell us, and we'll go and settle the score with them!"
Little Peach Blossom thought for a moment: "Probably not." She's so well-behaved, how could anyone bully her?
When it comes to confidence, Little Peach Blossom has never lost. Yes, that's right, she's always been that confident!
The others thought about it and realized it made sense. They liked Little Peach Blossom too much to possibly bully her.
At this point, your friends have no idea that there is another kind of liking—like someone, so you tease them and make them focus all their attention on you.
Well, we don't know yet. Just like they don't quite understand why the boy pulled the girl's braid, they're still too naive.
The innocent little peach blossom continued playing with her friends. Some took out grasshoppers made of straw, some took out a handful of candy wrappers to teach their friends how to fold them, and some simply dug up a handful of mud to make firecrackers! The one who went to get the matches finally returned, and the group immediately put down what they were doing to watch the other light them.
"Fire!" With a shout, everyone ran far away. "Whoosh!" "Bang!"
Wow, that's really loud!
"Yes, yes, this cannon is really powerful."
"Come on, there's more!"
The group moved away again, and then exclaimed in admiration once more.
Little Peach Blossom ran and giggled, "It's so much fun!"
Throughout this time, Song Yi remained by his side.
By the time Lin Yuqing invited the village chief over, the children were all tired from playing and were sitting there obediently drinking water. The feast was about to begin, and Lin Yuqing didn't have much time to go to Xiao Taohua's place. She felt wronged and filled with resentment.
The birthday banquet was very lively, and many people came. In addition to Lin Guangsheng and Song Feng, other people from the factory also came, which was to give Lin Guangsheng face. After all, he is the deputy factory director. When the deputy factory director's father celebrates his birthday, how could anyone not come?
Lin Guangsheng didn't say anything, but politely expressed his gratitude. As for the true relationship between his family and Old Lin's side, it was just another case of a harmonious family in the eyes of outsiders.
After lunch, Yin Qing and his wife didn't linger and returned to town with Xiao Taohua, who was reluctant to leave.
Song Yi was very reluctant to part with Xiao Taohua, but he was a sensible child. He was very, very satisfied to be able to see Xiao Taohua once a month, so he obediently said goodbye to Yin Qing and his wife, and then solemnly said goodbye to Xiao Taohua.
"Song Yi is such a good boy." Yin Qing couldn't help but say as they separated.
She had never seen such a well-behaved boy, and he was especially sensible. As for Lin Yuqing and his siblings, even if she didn't spend much time with them, she had heard that they were very mischievous. Not to mention the other children she knew, they were always running around or causing trouble, never quiet.
In such an environment, Song Yi's well-behavedness was quite unusual, and her purity was completely unpretentious.
"Having experienced more, he's bound to be more sensible than other kids." After spending so much time together, Lin Guangsheng had gotten a sense of things. For example, it seemed that Song Feng, the factory manager, had severed ties with his hometown. Even if they hadn't, the relationship wasn't very good. Coupled with the way Song Feng treated Song Yi, it was likely that Song Yi had suffered a lot in the past.
But these are all family matters, and Lin Guangsheng couldn't possibly pry into them. He had nothing to say about Song Feng, though; he thought Song Feng was a really good person. Song Feng was fine; the problem lay with Song Feng's estranged family members, like him and Old Lin. On the surface, things seemed fine, but if Old Lin ever crossed his line, he would definitely cut ties completely.
Perhaps because of this, his relationship with Song Feng grew better and better. What do you call that? You call it being fellow sufferers in the same boat.
Yin Qing smiled and said, "Our little peach blossom can't be like that. It's good enough that little peach blossom is always happy like this."
When the topic turned to herself, Little Peach Blossom looked up at her parents and said, "Little Peach Blossom is always happy."
"Yes, she's always happy." Yin Qing couldn't resist pinching her daughter's cheek. Hmm, it felt nice. She couldn't resist pinching it again.
"Mommy, don't pinch my face," Little Peach Blossom refused, her words mumbled.
Yin Qing suddenly had a mischievous urge: "But what if Mom likes to pull?"
Little Peach looked pitiful, thought for a moment as if she had made up her mind: "Then I'll let Mom pick them." Then she looked helpless, as if she had no choice but to say it in order to spoil her mother.
Looking at the expressive face of her daughter, Yin Qing couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Our little Peach Blossom is truly Mommy's source of joy!"
"That's right!" Little Peach Blossom admitted without hesitation.
Lin Guangsheng couldn't help but shake his head. This daughter of his was truly mischievous and clever, but it was also true that because of Xiao Taohua, their home was filled with laughter every day, making life seem brighter. He picked up his daughter, had Yin Qing push the bicycle, and strode forward with a smile. The whole way was filled with the family's laughter, attracting passersby to turn around and look at the family from time to time, then smile knowingly.
Honestly, it's enviable to see such a happy family.
After all, these days everyone is under so much pressure just to survive, so it's rare to have such lighthearted laughter and joy. While others envy them, they think about their own predicament and shake their heads helplessly. Oh well, let's see what we're missing at home and see if we can scrape together some money. Should we buy some coarse grains or some sweet potatoes? My stomach is rumbling, so I'll skip dinner tonight and save money for tomorrow.
