Chapter 46 Quarrel
"Old Qian, you're finally back. Something big has happened. Our Xiaoyu..."
Yu Afen waited at home until Qian Baozhu came back from get off work.
"Afen, what's wrong? What happened? Don't be anxious, tell me slowly."
When Qian Baozhu heard this, he quickly put down the lunch box in his hand. It was the braised fish fillets he had brought back from the restaurant.
"Old Qian, our Xiaoyu went to wear a red armband..."
"What! When did it happen?"
Qian Baozhu was also shocked. He always thought that Qian Yu just had a lively temper and would not do such a thing.
"Why is she so disobedient? Instead of studying hard in school, she runs off to hang out with that gang!"
Yu Afen looked very disappointed.
"It seems that we raised Xiaoyu too innocently and never let her experience any storms."
"I have to teach her a lesson this time, otherwise her behavior won't change over time!"
Qian Baozhu's family has only two girls and they are well off, so it is inevitable that they are spoiled. Unexpectedly, Qian Yu developed this kind of personality.
The eldest daughter Qian Min has been obedient and sensible since she was young, and her parents never had to worry about her. She was admitted as a worker in the factory as soon as she graduated, and now she has been transferred to the Propaganda Department as an officer.
The youngest daughter, Qian Yu, is three years younger than her older sister, Qian Min. She has never liked studying since she was a child, and she became even more noisy after entering high school.
This time he was mixed up with the red armbands, and Qian Baozhu felt a headache just thinking about it.
"Old Qian, what about work?"
Yu Afen thought that Qian Yu would graduate in less than a year, so the couple planned to wait for Qian Min to come home to discuss the matter and see what Qian Yu was willing to do.
"Let's not talk about it for now, let's see what she thinks when she comes back tonight?"
After Qian Baozhu finished speaking, he sighed with his bulging belly.
As it gradually darkened, every household started to eat.
Zhang Dazui finished making dinner and shouted loudly: "Hutou, come home for dinner!"
"Grandma, here I come! I'm leaving now and will come back tomorrow."
Hu Tou knew his grandmother's temper very well. If he was late, he would really have no food to eat, so he decisively left his little friends behind and quickly went into the house on his short legs.
Qian Yu smiled and walked into the house as usual, took off his hat, washed his face, and spoke crisply.
"Mom, I'm back. I'm starving."
"Hey, Dad, why are you back so early tonight?"
As Qian Yu reached out to open the lunch box on the table, he saw his father standing at the door with a dark face, blocking the door tightly.
"Dad, what are you doing standing there? You scared me!"
Qian Yu is not afraid of Qian Baozhu at all.
"Xiaoyu, you must be hungry. Dad brought you some braised fish slices. Eat them while they're hot."
Qian Baozhu broke down in a second, sat down at the dinner table, and spoke with a smile.
"Mmm~ delicious, Dad, this is your cooking, right?"
Qian Yu started eating only after Afen and Qian Baozhu were seated, and picked up the braised fish slices with one chopstick.
It was a familiar taste, and Qian Yu could tell at one bite that it was a dish made by his father.
Fry the marinated fish fillets in oil first, then sauté the onion, ginger, garlic, and chili pepper until fragrant, then add the prepared sauce, add water and simmer until cooked, then serve on a plate, sprinkle with white sesame seeds and coriander, and it's done.
The fish meat is soft and tender, fresh and delicious, and is a common dish to go with rice in Taoist cuisine.
Qian Baozhu smiled innocently as he watched Qian Yu eat mouthful after mouthful with great relish, and waited for Qian Yu to put down his chopsticks before slowly speaking.
"Is it tasty?"
"It's delicious. Dad, let me get another bowl of rice."
Qian Yu still felt hungry after finishing a bowl of rice, so he stood up and added another bowl to the pot.
Yu Afen held the bowl and hesitated to speak, then finally buried her head in eating.
"Well, the fish is quite fresh today."
Yu Afen no longer looked sad after taking a bite of fish.
It’s the same whether we can talk about it after dinner.
"Xiao Yu, what have you been busy with recently? You come home so late every day, and your mother has been waiting for you for dinner for a long time."
Qian Baozhu asked casually while rubbing his stomach after eating.
"I'm not busy, just hanging out with my classmates every day."
"Dad, you know there aren't many classes in school these days. Every day is just labor class. It's so boring."
Whenever Qian Yu was mentioned, she would start to complain, but she didn't dare to say it outside.
"With which classmates? Bring them home for dinner when you have time, and dad will cook."
Qian Baozhu looks like a good father.
"Ah? No need, it's just... it's not convenient for ordinary classmates to come to our house."
When Qian Yu heard his father mention this, he felt guilty and quickly waved his hand to refuse.
Qian Baozhu looked at Qian Yu who was evasive in her words and knew that what happened today was true. The person with the red armband was her so-called classmate.
"Xiao Yu, tell Dad the truth, are you following those guys outside?"
Qian Baozhu stopped hiding his feelings, put away his smile, looked into Qian Yu's eyes seriously and spoke directly.
"What are you talking about, Dad? I don't understand."
When Qian Yu heard this, he panicked and spoke incoherently.
"The back door of the supply and marketing cooperative, the red armband, the grandfather and grandson, do you want me to explain it more clearly?"
Seeing that Qian Yu was still not telling the truth, Qian Baozhu decided to talk about the matter openly.
"Dad, how did you know?"
Qian Yu had no idea what was going on after hearing this. It was obvious that her parents already knew that she had sneaked into the red armband outside.
It turns out that today's meal is still a Hongmen Banquet.
"Xiaoyu, I saw her by chance when I was walking down the street today."
"How could you follow that group of people into someone's house and smash things up?"
"Mom always thought you were a kind and sensible child. How could you do such a thing?"
Yu Afen stood up, held Qian Yu's hand and spoke softly, and finally couldn't help crying.
"Mom, don't cry. Those people are not good people. That old man who physically punished students in school is a stinking old man. He was right to hit them."
Qian Yu also hated the old principal because she didn't like studying and her grades were not good.
But the old principal always nags her to study hard whenever he sees her, which makes her very annoyed.
She saw that the red armbands in the school were so impressive, and the teachers took detours when they saw them. She also wanted to join the team.
Qian Yu was also the daughter of a worker with a good family background, so her background was naturally needless to say. However, the red armband leader today said that he would take her to the scene to test her ideological awareness.
Qian Yu naturally agreed readily. In order to maintain the team's consistency, she even borrowed a red armband from someone and pinned it on her arm like everyone else.
Qian Yu looked at his mother and saw that she was crying, so he comforted her in a hurry.
"What nonsense are you talking about, kid? If a teacher scolds a student a few times, that's considered corporal punishment?"
"You're a high school graduate, how can you be so confused about right and wrong?"
Although Yu Afen had only attended literacy classes, she knew that intellectuals should not be treated as the "stinking ninth" and be condemned by everyone. People should have basic respect for knowledge and teachers.
"Afen, don't cry. Xiaoyu, I've spoiled you so much that you don't know what to do. These next few days you have to go home on time and help your mother with the housework. Don't run around all the time."
Qian Baozhu felt a headache when he saw Qian Yu's stubborn attitude, so he could only express his attitude firmly.
If the child is disobedient, let her suffer a little first, and then see if you can take Qian Yu to the kitchen of a state-owned restaurant to do odd jobs.
