"Are you all stupid? Just remember, when dealing with the enemy, you must be quick, ruthless, and accurate!" Mei Si frowned as she lectured her three foolish disciples.
Meis gave her apprentices a vivid lesson, guiding them in the direction they would take in the future...
"Achoo..." Meiss suddenly sneezed.
"Master, do you have a cold? Did you catch a chill? Should we go back first?" Mei Si saw her younger sister sneezing and was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she decided to take her home.
"We need to go back now; it's time for lunch," Mei Si nodded and said.
In another city, Wang Gousheng was thinking about Mei Si.
"Gousheng, you don't eat meat. How can you grow tall if you don't eat meat? Look at you, you're not even as tall as Chuchu next door." Wang Ma put a piece of fatty meat into her son's bowl.
"..." Wang Gousheng opened his mouth, but in the end he held back and did not break the rule of "not talking while eating".
Wang Gousheng: If Sisi were here, I could just throw the meat into her bowl and she would be so happy.
“I’ve told you so many times, don’t call me Lou Lou, such an old-fashioned name. People will laugh at me if they hear it,” said Yu Guiping, Wang Gousheng’s maternal grandmother, glancing at her daughter.
"I'm just used to calling him that! I think this nickname is pretty good, Dog... If Lou Lou hadn't had this nasty nickname when he was little, he probably wouldn't have grown up."
“You said that was when I was a child. Lou Lou is all grown up now. I had Dr. Zhou check my pulse a while ago. Lou Lou is very healthy now. I don’t need to call you that awful name anymore.”
Because of the few pieces of fatty meat in his bowl, Wang Gousheng ate very slowly. He had to wrap the fatty meat with rice and mentally prepare himself for a long time before daring to put the meat in his mouth.
"Brother Lou, have you finished eating?" Chu Chu ran over to play with the neighbor's brother after finishing her meal. She thought this Brother Lou was especially nice, even better than her own brother who always bullied her.
"Chuchu's here! Come in quickly, sit here and wait a moment, Loulou will finish eating soon." Yu Guiping sat in the living room, smiling and waving to Chuchu outside the door, wanting her to come in and sit down.
"No, I'll play outside for a while." Chu Chu remembered her grandmother's words: she shouldn't disturb people while they were eating.
"Grandma Yu, after Brother Lou finishes eating, can you let him come out and play with me?" Chu Chu suddenly remembered that she should get permission from the adults in Brother Lou's family before she could ask him to go out.
"Of course you can. Go play first. I'll have Lou Lou come find you after he finishes eating." Yu Guiping knew that children couldn't sit still and didn't like being with the elderly, so she didn't force Chu Chu to come in and wait.
"Okay! Goodbye, Grandma Yu!" Chu Chu waved to Yu Guiping and skipped off to play.
"This child is so polite. Grandma Chu has taught her so well!" Yu Guiping exclaimed.
"He's too polite; he doesn't have the liveliness a child should have at this age." Wang's mother felt that children shouldn't be taught like this. She believed that children this young should be running around and playing freely; teaching them like this would deprive them of a lot of fun.
"What are you saying? Too polite? Isn't being polite a good thing? Being polite is what makes a good child!" Yu Guiping glared at Wang Ma, not understanding where her twisted logic came from.
The thing Yu Guiping regrets most in her life is agreeing to let her daughter marry far away. Look, in just a few years, her well-behaved daughter has picked up a whole bunch of messy and bad habits.
“Teaching a child like this will exhaust her! At her age, she shouldn’t have to think about anything; she should just play as much as she wants.” Wang’s mother tried to make the mother understand that children should act like children.
"Still want to play around like a country girl? Is it better to just run around like a madwoman all day? Would you rather have two tubes of snot hanging from your nose?" Yu Guiping said with a look of disgust.
"Mom, how can you talk like that? Everyone is equal. If it weren't for those 'country bumpkins' you're talking about, you might not even be able to afford food. It's one thing to be ungrateful, but why are you discriminating against them?" Wang's mother looked at Yu Guiping as if she were seeing her for the first time. Wang's mother didn't understand how Yu Guiping had changed so much in just a few years.
“What do you mean I can’t even afford to eat? I rely on my own abilities. I earn my own food through my own labor. What does it have to do with them?” Yu Guiping was unhappy. She felt that Wang Ma’s reasoning was twisted, making her sound like a beggar.
"And also, what does 'zha' mean? What does 'shi' mean? Don't bring those bad habits home, what if you corrupt Lou Lou?"
Wang Gousheng swallowed the last bite of rice, frowning as he listened to his mother and grandmother bickering. He suddenly felt that he and his mother shouldn't be living at his grandmother's house. Even if his father and grandmother lived in a small place, it would still be better than living here.
He didn't like some of his grandmother's views and didn't understand where his grandmother got her sense of superiority in this society where everyone is equal.
