Chapter 164: Failure to Take Advantage of Others
On the first day of the new year, Lu Yunchen went to the army to celebrate the festival with his comrades.
Huang Xinran and her two children were not idle. They heard yesterday that there would be a temple festival and a lantern festival in the city today, so they made an appointment with Sister Chu and Aunt He to go together early.
Early in the morning, a few people got together and went to the bus stop.
However, they never expected that the bus was already packed with passengers. Not only were they squeezed like sardines in a can, but there were also seven or eight big men lying on the shelf at the back of the bus, making it impossible to even step.
They waited for the first bus but couldn't get on it, and they also couldn't get on the second or third bus. It was almost ten o'clock, so they had to go home disappointed.
"How about we go watch the cultural performance? There's an event in the auditorium today, which is just as good as the temple fair and the lantern festival. What do you think? Should we go?"
The reason why Aunt He didn't bring it up at first was that she had been in the army for many years, and after watching so many wonderful cultural performances, they lost some of their excitement.
Huang Xinran and her two children did not think so. When they heard this, their eyes lit up immediately!
"Go!~"
The auditorium of the Youth League was very large. When Huang Xinran and others followed Aunt He in, they found that although the light around them was dim, the stage was brightly lit.
At this moment, the song "My Motherland and I" is being sung on the stage, and the loud singing echoes throughout the entire auditorium.
Huang Xinran was afraid of disturbing the warriors who were watching the show in the back seats, so he bent over, lowered his head and walked quickly until he reached the corner.
After a careful look, Huang Xinran saw many familiar faces. They were obviously the family members in the family compound.
She also took Yaya and Maomao to find a place to sit down and watch.
The entertainment performances were not very attractive to Huang Xinran, who had returned from rebirth. Even so, because there were not many entertainment activities and the duration was short, Huang Xinran was still attracted by the performances on the stage.
But for Yaya and Maomao, stage performances were a very rare experience. The two children stared at the stage intently until the performance ended at noon, when they reluctantly left.
"Mom, Mom! Can we still come to watch the show tomorrow?"
Yaya asked, turning back every few steps.
The attachment in the eyes can be seen clearly by everyone.
"Do you like to watch it? You have to ask your dad. When he comes back, ask him. If he is willing to take you over, you can come and watch it."
Yaya immediately became excited.
When Huang Xinran walked out of the auditorium, he subconsciously turned his head to look at the crowd of people behind him. Among them, Lu Yunchen should be one, right?
Unfortunately, there were too many people and she couldn't find anyone.
Since they were already in the auditorium, Huang Xinran had no intention of going back to cook, so she simply went to the cafeteria to get some food and ate with the children.
The canteen has a rich variety of dishes for the New Year. Huang Xinran also took into account the children's tastes and specially picked out some relatively light foods. While they were eating, Wang Ping also came over with Wenwen in her arms, carrying the food.
When she saw them sitting here, her eyes lit up and she walked towards her.
In fact, Huang Xinran had deliberately lowered her head to avoid Wang Ping as soon as she saw her, but unfortunately Wang Ping had already seen her and quickly came up to her: "Sister Huang, is there anyone here? Can I sit down?" While speaking, she also glanced at the food that several people bought.
Huang Xinran was unhappy, but couldn't refuse: "There are so many seats here, you can sit anywhere that's empty."
"Very good!"
Wang Ping pretended not to understand the hidden meaning of her words, and sat down opposite her calmly, putting down the bowl in her hand.
There was only a portion of rice and a vegetable dish in her bowl.
As soon as she sat down, she hugged Wenwen in her arms, trying to get the child to turn around. Unexpectedly, Wenwen hugged her neck tightly and refused to let go. Wang Ping tried several times and finally spoke: "Wenwen, look, it's time to eat. Brother and sister are eating delicious food, do you want to eat?"
Wenwen was young after all, and when she heard this, she turned around subconsciously. She saw the meat dishes that Yaya and Maomao were eating, and her mouth was drooling, and her hands around Wang Ping's neck couldn't help but loosen.
"Yes, meat..."
Wenwen stretched out her finger and pointed at the braised pork on the table.
"That's my braised pork! I won't give it to you!" Yaya shouted immediately. Maomao was even quicker and pushed the bowl of meat in front of Yaya.
Wenwen was stunned, her lips pursed, and she immediately started crying.
As soon as the child started crying, Wang Ping's face turned ugly. While coaxing the child, she complained: "I'm so sorry, the child is ignorant and greedy. Just leave him alone..."
Even so, his eyes were fixed on the roasted pork, with no intention of shrinking at all.
Yaya and Maomao were furious but didn't know what to say.
"If you know your child is immature, you should teach him/her well at home before bringing him/her out."
Huang Xinran directly gave the braised pork sandwich to Yaya and Maomao: "It's because my two children have good tempers that they don't bother with you. If it were another child with a bad temper, who knows what would happen. Sister Wang, don't you agree?"
Wang Ping's face darkened: "Actually, Wenwen can't eat much either..."
"You knew the child couldn't eat much, but you didn't buy him some. Are you deliberately starving him? Sister Wang, this is wrong. After all, the child is Instructor Liu's flesh and blood. You can't starve him like this!"
Under the other party's blatant gaze, Huang Xinran shared the braised pork with Yaya and Maomao, and poured the rest into his own bowl.
It wasn't that she was reluctant to part with those two pieces of meat, but she just couldn't stand the other person taking advantage of her.
Wang Ping clearly sensed Huang Xinran's hostility, and her eyes were filled with tears of grievance: "I knew you didn't like me... but what did I do wrong? Tell me... can't I change?"
"Don't!"
If someone who doesn't know the truth sees her aggrieved look, they might think that they are bullying her.
"If you want to cry, why don't you take a look at where this place is?"
Huang Xinran approached her and said, "Are you not afraid of losing face? Do you hope to make your old Liu lose all his face? You should think about it carefully!"
At first, Instructor Liu would have reprimanded her for his own sake. If she made a scene today, I don't think she would have been let off easily.
When these words were spoken, Wang Ping was indeed frightened.
Not caring about Wenwen who was still sobbing in his arms, he stood up with a sullen face, picked up the bowl, carried Wenwen and went to the table next to him.
Only Wenwen stretched out her hands and begged for it crying.
Huang Xinran was happy when she left.
"Hurry up and eat! After you're done, let's go build a snowman!"
"Great, we finished eating right away!"
When they heard that there was something to play, the two children were very happy and ate much faster.
