Chapter 155: I even learned how to operate a sewing machine
Zhou Tingyue was a little dumbfounded.
"How is that possible? When did I ever sign something like that?"
Gong Shanhe was obviously shocked when he heard his words!
He wiped the rain off his face and spoke stutteringly.
"Then, then, who signed that application?"
Zhou Tingyue's face turned dark when he thought of a possibility!
It was raining so hard that he said, "Sorry! I'll go back and ask!"
Turned around and left.
At this time, in the staff quarters, Song Shiwei heard the door open. He looked up and saw Zhou Cheng, who was soaked like a drowned chicken.
She was a little surprised: "Zhou Cheng? You came back by yourself?"
Zhou Cheng wiped the rain off his face and nodded: "Yes!"
Song Shiwei looked out the door anxiously: "Oh, your dad went to school to pick you up with a raincoat, didn't you meet him?"
Hearing Song Shiwei's words, he was obviously stunned for a moment.
"I, I took a small path, so I might not have encountered it..."
There was something wrong with his expression, and he didn't even dare to look Song Shiwei in the eye, which looked a bit suspicious.
Although Song Shiwei felt that he seemed a little strange today, she didn't think much about it. After all, it was storming outside and Zhou Tingyue hadn't come back yet, so she couldn't help but worry.
Zhou Wei and Zhou Lin also came back with Sun Meimei.
Inevitably, the clothes of several children got wet.
She asked them to take off their coats and get under the quilts, and made them some brown sugar ginger tea for them to drink. She then took their wet clothes and dried them by the stove.
When the baking was almost done, she prepared to cook.
I fried two dishes, heated up the steamed buns, and cooked some rice porridge.
As soon as the food was served, several children sat down around the table.
But no one dared to pick up their chopsticks, they were all waiting for Zhou Tingyue!
Zhou Cheng lowered his head, not daring to move, his hands clenched tightly, his nails seemed to be digging into his palms.
It was so cold that his palms were full of sweat.
Fortunately, Zhou Tingyue came back not long after.
His clothes had long been soaked by the rain. In such bad weather, a raincoat was of no use at all.
Song Shiwei took the raincoat he took off and hung it on the corner of the door to let it drain the water.
Just as she was about to ask him to change his wet clothes, she helped him dry them.
Then I saw Zhou Tingyue’s livid face.
Water was still dripping from his forehead, but his eyes were fixed on Zhou Cheng without blinking. The coldness in his eyes made people want to shiver.
Zhou Cheng was rubbing his hands nervously and didn't dare to look up at all.
Only then did Song Shiwei notice something was wrong.
"Tingyue, what's wrong with you? Zhou Cheng came back early and missed you!"
Zhou Tingyue narrowed his eyes: "When I went to school, school had just ended! I want to know how he came back early?"
Hearing his words, Zhou Cheng lowered his head even more.
Song Shiwei also looked at him: "Zhou Cheng, what's going on? Since school has just ended, why did you come back early?"
Zhou Cheng pursed his lips: "I, I..."
He looked up at Zhou Tingyue and then quickly lowered his head.
Zhou Tingyue said in a deep voice: "Zhou Cheng, I met your teacher Gong. Do you want to guess what teacher Gong told me?"
Zhou Cheng was so scared that his eyes turned red. Even Zhou Lin beside him had a worried look on his face. He looked at this and that, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated!
"Dad... well, my brother..."
"Don't explain for him, I want to hear him speak for himself!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Zhou Tingyue's harsh voice.
Zhou Cheng stood up quickly. ,
He looked up at Zhou Tingyue and said, "I, I secretly wrote a leave of absence application and even secretly learned your handwriting and signed it! In fact, I didn't go to school this semester! I lied to you!"
After hearing this, Song Shiwei's eyes turned red with anxiety: "Zhou Cheng, why are you so confused!"
Zhou Tingyue has started to unbuckle his belt!
The little guys were so scared that they all shrank back.
Zhou Cheng pushed the stool away and took two steps forward: "Dad, if you want to beat me, just beat me. I know I made a big mistake this time. I am sorry for your and mom's expectations of me! But I am really not cut out for school. I can't learn!"
"I don't want to always rank last in the class in every exam! I'm not as fond of studying as Linzi is. I can't study until eleven or twelve in the middle of the night, even with a flashlight. I really can't do that!"
Hearing his words, Zhou Tingyue loosened his grip on the belt.
Song Shiwei also sighed softly.
The other children looked at Zhou Tingyue nervously, fearing that he would pull out the belt in the next second.
Zhou Lin thought about it, then gritted his teeth and stood up.
"Dad, I already knew about my brother's affair. I forged your signature on the application. If you want to beat me, beat me too!"
When Zhou Cheng heard this, he quickly pushed him back.
"What are you doing? No one is looking for a beating! I am responsible for my own actions. I forced you to write this for me. This is my own business and has nothing to do with you! Go back and sit down!"
Zhou Lin became anxious.
"Brother, I know why you did that. How could I just watch you get beaten? Every night when I see the calluses and wounds on your hands, I feel guilty. I don't know if it was right or wrong for me to help you in the first place!"
"You went to work as a laborer for others to earn money without telling your parents. You also wanted to help the family. You felt that you were the eldest child in the family. If you couldn't go to school, you might as well go out and earn money early!"
"You envy Sister Xiaocui and Brother Gousheng for making so much money in a month. I know all this! Brother, I've always felt that your affair would be exposed sooner or later, so you might as well tell mom and dad clearly!"
After Zhou Lin finished speaking, Zhou Cheng fell silent for a moment.
Not only was he silent, but even Song Shiwei and Zhou Tingyue were silent as well.
Unexpectedly, this kid had big ideas in his mind. It should be said that Song Shiwei only understood at this time why Zhou Cheng's child became the villain in the end, it was because he was too courageous.
He has his own ideas in mind and dares to think and act.
Although this approach is not good, it also means that he has a certain amount of courage and bravery. If it is greater, it means that he is enterprising.
If this energy is used in the right way, Song Shiwei feels that he will definitely be able to achieve something, but if it is used in other ways, it will be easy to go astray.
"Zhou Cheng, what kind of odd job did you do?"
Zhou Cheng looked at Song Shiwei and pursed his lips and said, "There are laborers who build houses, laborers who take charge of banquets for weddings and funerals in the village, and laborers who operate sewing machines in tailor shops, and also..."
When Song Shiwei heard him say that he had operated a sewing machine, she was almost stunned!
Is this really the Zhou Cheng she knows?
He is really capable for a boy. He is very flexible and can even learn to operate a sewing machine!
