That's really cunning. If you can't argue with her, you deliberately use the child to grab attention?
Chen Xueyun absolutely couldn't stand having her spotlight stolen by someone else, so she squatted down, scooped up Chu Chu in her arms, and said gently, "Junior sister, what are you doing? Chu Chu is so young, how could she have any concept of money? Asking her this question, aren't you just making things difficult for her?"
Lan Qingyue retorted, "It doesn't matter whether Chuchu knows the concept of money or not. The key is that I want Chuchu to know what 'goodness' means. For a child to know what 'goodness' is, that is a rare and precious quality."
Well said, I wanted to applaud, but something's not right. Director Cai was holding his head in his hands in distress, the big boss was watching from the side, and the guests were "tit-for-tat." I'm having such a hard time!
Guan Zhizhi felt a little guilty. If she hadn't asked Lan Qingyue, Lan Qingyue wouldn't have answered. If Lan Qingyue hadn't answered, Chen Xueyun wouldn't have come over to interrupt, and this "mini-drama" wouldn't have happened.
She tried to smooth things over by saying, "Teacher Lan, Teacher Chen, Liu Yu should be out of school by now. Let's hurry, or she might be taking a nap."
Even the less thoughtful Simin felt the awkward atmosphere and chimed in, "Oh right, the child needs a nap. If we go early, we won't take up their nap time."
Yu Qingqing: "Teacher Si is right."
Lin Ranran reached out her hand to Chuchu, "Come here, baby, come to Auntie, Auntie will hug you~"
Chu Chu slipped out of Chen Xueyun's embrace and ran into the crowd. Qi Yu, who was watching all this expressionlessly, had no emotion in his dark eyes, but his deep gaze seemed to have a kind of magic that could draw people in.
The probing look in that gaze was too direct, and Lan Qingyue dodged it.
Chu Chu hugged Qi Yu's leg, her little face pressed against his lap, her voice soft and sweet, "Uncle Qi, Chu Chu wants to give all the money she saved for snacks to Sister Liu Yu, okay~~~"
Qi Yu gently rubbed Chu Chu's little pigtails, then picked her up and said, "So good!"
The little farce ended, and everyone turned at the intersection and headed towards the cement road, the way to Lu Yan's house. However, Lu Yan's door was closed. As they passed Lu Yan's house, Chu Chu jumped up and shouted, "Lu Yan's house~~~"
Keep walking in, then turn a corner, and the further you go, the closer you get to the rice paddies. On the other side of the rice paddies is the neighboring village.
They came to a wooden door. The unpainted door looked very old. The door was tightly closed. The houses on both sides were dilapidated. To be precise, both houses had been demolished. The roofs were gone and the houses were empty, leaving only the door in front, with tall weeds growing inside.
Liu Yu's home is located between two demolished houses. The walls are made of yellow mud, and some of the roof tiles are broken and hanging precariously in front, looking as if they would fall off if the wind blew them away.
Several guests stood in the open space by the entrance, holding their children, to prevent the tiles from falling and hitting them.
Everyone was surprised to see such a house. It's the 21st century, and there are still such dilapidated houses. Compared to this, Sister Huang's tile-roofed house is not bad at all. Xiu Kaijie sighed silently.
Director Cai was dumbfounded. Qi Yu, holding Chu Chu, remained the most composed. The village chief jogged to the door and pounded on it with his dark hands, the sound deafening. "Old Liu? Old Liu? Is Old Liu home?"
