At half past eleven, Gu Zhenjiang came back from get off work.
His work is not busy, especially at noon. He comes back as soon as the warehouse door is locked. If anyone needs anything, they can come back during the afternoon working hours.
People who often deal with him know his rules: if they need something, they can come early or wait until the afternoon. He usually leaves work early at noon and goes home to help Li Cuiying cook.
Today was just like any other day, except that as soon as I arrived in the yard, I heard Li Cuiying talking to someone in the kitchen.
I just felt that the voice sounded a little familiar, but I definitely didn't think it might be Jiang Mengxue returning.
Since no one had ever mentioned this matter before, he didn't think about it.
"Is the meal ready? Mo Bao and the others should be back soon."
Gu Zhenjiang walked to the basin in front of the water tank and washed his hands.
"Okay, okay, come over and bring it to the table. Once the buns in the pot are steamed, we can eat."
Jiang Mengxue brought a large plate of food and placed it on the dining table in the main hall. Their family had specially bought a long dining table, otherwise the whole family would not be able to sit together.
"Second uncle, go back to the main room and rest for a while. I'll serve it."
Gu Zhenjiang was startled.
"Xiaoxue, when did you arrive? Why didn't you tell me in advance that I was coming to see you?"
"I just arrived a while ago. I brought a few sets of clothes with me. It's not like I couldn't find my way home. The bus goes straight home, so I didn't tell you in advance."
Gu Zhenjiang didn't say much. Seeing that they had already prepared lunch, he strolled out to greet Mo Bao and the others.
He had to tell the children in advance, otherwise they would be so excited when they got home.
"Will Uncle Zhang and Aunt Wang come back for lunch? What does Aunt Wang usually eat?"
Wang Peishu lives alone. In fact, cooking for one person is the most difficult thing. If you cook too little food, it will be troublesome enough. If you cook too much food, one person will not be able to finish it.
So it’s more convenient to eat in the cafeteria.
"She lives in the back yard and usually eats three meals a day at our house. Most of the time, she cooks with me.
But she seemed to have gone to her eldest brother's house today, and told me this morning that she wouldn't be back for lunch."
Jiang Mengxue nodded and picked up the steamed buns from the pot with chopsticks.
She is not very good at holding it with her hands because it is too hot. Even if she dips her hands in cold water, it is still hot. It is more convenient to use chopsticks.
"Ahhhhhh, mommy, mommy, where are you? When did you come back? I missed you so much."
Jiang Mengxue carried the steamed buns out of the kitchen and heard shouting coming from outside from a distance.
As soon as I heard it, I knew it was Nao Nao who came back. No one else would make such a big noise.
"Don't be so loud, your mom can hear you. Stop being such a crowd pleaser and wash your hands and eat."
Nao Nao suddenly felt unbalanced when he saw his mother so calm.
I was so anxious that I started yelling, "Why are you so cold? You don't even miss me."
Jiang Mengxue felt nothing in her heart. She thought about how she always wrote six letters and replied six times, which made her realize how difficult it was to deal with these children at home.
This one is the most confusing one in front of others.
The next few came back one after another.
"Mom, mom, when did you come back? I just received your letter yesterday, and you didn't tell me."
As a girl, Zhizhi actually longs to be close to her mother.
I finally saw Jiang Mengxue and couldn't help but start dropping gold beans.
Although the other few did not express it particularly obviously, you could still see the excitement and happiness in their eyes.
"Okay, wash your hands and have dinner. Your mother just came back and she won't leave suddenly."
Li Cuiying poured the water used to wash the pot into the sewer and said.
"Yes, you guys are tired after a whole morning of classes. Let's eat first. I'll wait for your summer vacation to pick you up and go together."
I saw Mobao and Ruirui holding table tennis rackets in their hands.
"Mobao and Ruirui can also play table tennis? That's great. You can play some sports in your spare time. Basketball, football, tennis, and badminton are all good."
"Mom, I like playing football. Can you buy me a football? I want to buy one, but my brother won't agree."
Mo Bao came from behind and slapped him on the head.
"How dare you say I don't agree? How many times have you kicked your classmate's football into the lake? I always rowed a boat to fish it out.
I think you are not suitable for playing football. You can kick the ball crookedly in such a big place. Is your eyeball crooked?"
Nao Nao felt a little guilty. He was just too excited and accidentally slipped and kicked the ball into the lake. He didn't do it on purpose.
"Why did you agree to buy a basketball for Manman? You also bought my sister a drawing board without saying a word, but you didn't agree to my request to buy a football."
However, he just couldn't accept it. Why couldn't he buy what he wanted?
Mo Bao completely ignored him, obviously used to his pestering.
"I've already told you that you can buy it if you get 90 points on the exam. You've exceeded all of these. So, can you tell me which exam you got 90 points on?
It’s okay if you don’t get 90 points. I’ll ask you to come back and tidy up your messy things. I can buy it for you after you do your housework.
But did you do it?
If you want to achieve your goals, you have to take action. There is no such thing as a free lunch. If you want to get what you want without paying anything, why not dream?
Nao Nao felt so ashamed after hearing Mo Bao's words that he didn't know how to refute.
But he is heartless. If he can't get along with his eldest brother, doesn't he still have his second brother?
His second brother's grandmother would definitely give him pocket money, and his second brother would probably agree if he borrowed some.
And now that his mother is back, he has one more person to ask for help.
"Mom, look how much my brother goes to extremes. I just want to buy a football to exercise, but he doesn't agree and makes so many demands on me.
Just buy it for me. I will do my best on the final exam and I will definitely get a 90.”
It’s not that he has bad academic performance, it’s just that he doesn’t study seriously and is also careless when answering questions in exams.
As long as he studies hard for a few days before the exam and takes the exam more seriously, he will definitely do well.
His second uncle and aunt had promised him that if he did well in the exam, they would buy him the picture book he wanted most.
That time, he worked hard for a while and did very well in the exam. Even his elder brother praised him. He will definitely do it this time.
Jiang Mengxue certainly did not doubt her son's IQ, but she doubted his self-control.
It felt like there were nails on his butt. When he sat there to do his homework, he felt uncomfortable all over, with pain here and itchiness there. While he was doing his homework, he either wanted to go to the bathroom or drink water.
She was so angry that she wanted to beat him with a stick.
So this time she could only say that she was on the sidelines and would only look at the final result.
Nao Nao was a little disappointed, but thinking that the final exam was only a week away, he thought he could still do it if he tried hard, so he was not so disappointed anymore.
Just wait, he will definitely make a big splash.
