Chapter 365: There is a Naughty Child in the House 2 I don’t believe my child would be like this, let’s…
When Yao Zhizhi came back, the two groups of children in the family were still doing their scientific observations.
Little Xingxing asked his grandfather to help him make an insulated box with a light bulb inside, which he kept shining on the eggs. But even so, the temperature was not enough, so he filled a few hot water bottles and placed them under the straw nest where the eggs were incubating, changing them every once in a while.
During the day he goes to school and his grandfather is in charge of this job. Now he is demonstrating and explaining to his friends how to distinguish fertilized eggs from unfertilized eggs. He looks very knowledgeable and formal like an old scholar.
Little Moon simply put a table full of experimental equipment, took out a magnifying glass, and started with the most basic observation of appearance to introduce the children to centipedes.
Wang Xiaofei, who already had some experience, quickly put on disposable gloves, took tweezers, and prepared to help.
Several other children were divided into two groups. One group was responsible for recording the steps and results of the observation, and the other group was responsible for sketching, using 2B pencils to draw the centipede trying to escape in their art books.
Little Moon was like a teacher, explaining the appearance, habits, and toxicity of centipedes, and he was no less impressive than his brother next to him.
Yao Jingzong held a camera in front of each of the two children to help them capture precious memories.
Li Xue was helping Yao Jingzong on the side, and looked up from time to time, full of love and joy.
Yao Zhizhi walked in with a smile. Li Xue quickly put down the carpenter's pen and helped her take the schoolbag. She asked curiously, "You still have to carry such a heavy schoolbag when you go to college?"
Yao Zhizhi was helpless: "What can we do? These two guys ask a million questions every day. If we can't answer them, won't we have to look up the answers in the book?"
Yao Zhizhi went into the house, drank some water, and simply opened her schoolbag to show Li Xue what was inside.
Some specialize in explaining insects, some specialize in explaining birds, and some specialize in explaining dinosaurs and primitive creatures.
Some books were written entirely in English, and Li Xue could only understand some common, basic vocabulary. She couldn't help but sigh, "Raising a child like you is really hard."
"It's not hard. Teaching and learning benefit each other, and I can learn knowledge as well." Yao Zhizhi put down the teacup with a smile, turned around and took a look in the kitchen.
The new nanny is Shen Qingwan's third aunt. After the divorce, she couldn't go back to her parents' home, and it was not easy for her to stay in her husband's home, so she came to the city to find Shen Qingwan and asked her to help find a job.
This aunt is a very nice person. She doesn’t talk much but is very hardworking. Yao Zhizhi likes her very much.
Dinner was almost ready. Seeing Yao Zhizhi, her aunt quickly picked up a piece of braised chicken feet with her chopsticks and gave it to her: "Quick, taste the saltiness."
Yao Zhizhi took the chopsticks together. She was already so old, and she didn't want her elders to feed her. After taking a bite, she found it a little bland, so she asked her aunt to add some salt.
This pot of chicken feet was obviously prepared for the children in the yard, and there was also a pot of tea eggs cooked next to it.
Yao Zhizhi saw that the tea eggs were cracked and tasty, so she took them out and gave one to each of the children who came to play.
Li Xue looked at her generosity and couldn't help but gasp. Isn't this a loss? She had to entertain these children and feed them at the same time.
Yao Zhizhi noticed her surprise and confusion, and when she returned to the kitchen to serve the chicken feet, she explained, "It's okay. A sensible parent would let them bring snacks to Xingxing and Yueyue."
Usually, parents bring gifts when picking up their children, and sometimes they give gifts in return when they go to school the next day, such as fruit candies, pickled plums, etc.
Li Xue was curious: "Will you take care of every child?"
Yao Zhizhi shook her head: "Not really. Some families are really struggling financially. I don't mind these things. After all, they are just children. It's good enough for them to be able to play with the stars and the moon, so that they don't get lonely."
That's true, Li Xue asked herself, if she had such wealthy parents of a classmate when she was a child, she would definitely go out to play with her classmate.
One is to eat and drink together, and the other is to broaden your horizons.
She was afraid that Yao Zhizhi would burn her hands, so she helped carry the pot after she crossed the threshold: "Let me do it, you just carried the tea eggs, take a break."
When they arrived in the yard, the children saw a whole pot of braised chicken feet and were so excited that they started to thank Li Xue.
Li Xue felt guilty and quickly explained, "I didn't do it. You should thank Aunt Yao and the grandmother inside."
"Thank you uncles and aunts, thank you grandpa and grandma." The children simply thanked them all, without leaving out a single one.
However, their observation was not over yet. When a greedy cat couldn't help but stretch out its claws, Xiaoyue immediately scolded it, "He Feng, I told you not to eat alone. Let's eat together later."
He Feng was a small, skinny boy. His sister, He Lan, was in the Twinkle Twinkle Little Star group. When she heard the noise, she rushed over and slapped He Feng's paw away. "You're a starving ghost, what's the rush? Your parents will definitely beat you up if they find out!"
He Feng sniffed in grievance, put the claw covered with marinade into his mouth and sucked it, looking very hungry.
Li Xue sighed silently. It was such a sin. If her child suffered the same injustice in the future, she would not be able to bear it.
You still need to have enough financial foundation to start a family, otherwise it will be unfair to your children.
She would rather be a T like Yao Zhizhi, even if her family provides snacks, even if not all other children will reciprocate, even if she suffers a little loss, than let her own children go to other people's homes to be greedy cats.
She probably understood why Yao Zhizhi asked her to come over. After the children finished the experiment, Little Star and Little Moon were like two leaders, leading everyone to wash their hands one by one and spray alcohol for disinfection. They were very careful.
Yao Zhizhi called Li Xue to go to the kitchen to serve dinner.
When they came out, the children had already eaten tea eggs and braised chicken feet. Each of them had a small stool, and they were talking and laughing together. They looked very harmonious, as if there had been no incident of He Feng wanting to eat alone.
Looking at He Feng again, he finally got to eat something delicious, but he was reluctant to eat it too fast. He even had to savor the tea eggs slowly in small bites and even sucked the soup off his fingers.
Li Xue silently looked away. She had already made up her mind that she must get into university so that she would have more choices in the future.
When the food was served, the parents of those children came to pick up their children, as if they all knew Yao Zhizhi's daily routine. It was okay to have some snacks, but there was no need to stay at someone else's house for meals.
When some parents came, they brought peanuts and yams sent by relatives from the countryside, some brought salted duck eggs cooked at home, and some brought late corn, fried beans, etc.
There were more than twenty children in total, and only five or six families did not express anything. He Feng's parents did not express anything either. When they looked at the dining table in the living room, their eyes were a little sour. Maybe they would let the children return the gift when they go to school the next day. Li Xue did not ask any more questions.
While eating, Li Xue had a new realization. There were roast duck, braised pork elbow, twice-cooked pork, and winter melon and pork rib soup on the table; the vegetarian dishes included Mapo tofu, three fresh vegetables, cabbage vermicelli, and braised eggplant.
There were eight dishes in total, and it was obvious that they were specially prepared for her. It was so rich that if a child from a poor family sat at the table, he would definitely devour it. However, Yao Zhizhi's two children ate very politely. It was obvious that they were used to eating good food and did not think it was anything special.
Li Xue couldn't help but think of the time when she went to other people's houses for banquets with her aunt. She would always encounter some children who were like hungry tigers pouncing on sheep. As soon as they sat at the table, they would start scrambling for food. Some of them didn't even have time to chew the meat carefully and just opened their mouths to swallow it. There were even children who had to go to the hospital for emergency treatment because they swallowed too quickly.
At that time, the child's parents actually kept scolding the child for being a reincarnated ghost from starvation, saying that they had brought shame upon their parents. They did not even think about the fact that if the father had not been incompetent and had never let the child eat well, would the child have been in such a miserable state and almost lost his life?
Thinking of this, Li Xue's determination to re-refer to the exam became even stronger.
After dinner, she helped clean up the dishes and took them to the kitchen. Her aunt didn't ask her to wash them, otherwise she would have hired a nanny.
Besides, Li Xue is a guest.
Li Xue had no choice but to give up. Just then she saw Yao Zhizhi coming out. She smiled and greeted her: "It's windy outside, why don't you go inside and rest."
"Let me take you out for a walk. Here..." Yao Zhizhi handed over a scarf. It was late autumn and the nights in the capital were very cold.
Li Xue put on the scarf and walked out.
She thought she was going to visit some famous places, but then she thought it was not appropriate to go there so late at night.
I could only follow in confusion.
Soon, the two stopped outside the gate of a house in the alley. The sound of parents scolding their child could be heard from inside. The child was crying, and the voice sounded familiar.
Li Xue asked suspiciously, "Is it that He Feng family?"
"Yes." Yao Zhizhi walked forward. "They have many children, and the couple are just ordinary workers. They often borrow money to get by."
Yao Zhizhi only gave a brief introduction and let Li Xue figure out the rest on her own.
Li Xue was not a fool. She knew what Yao Zhizhi meant. She glanced at the dilapidated courtyard wall, sighed silently, and walked forward.
I guess He Lan complained about it. The parent was disgusted with his child for embarrassing himself at his classmate's house, and was so angry that he could only beat the child to vent his anger.
It’s disgusting to think about it.
Li Xue stopped at the intersection and called out to Yao Zhizhi: "Editor Yao, I will study hard and I will definitely pass the exam!"
She would rather be a giver than a passive recipient; her self-esteem would not allow her to do so.
Yao Zhizhi turned around with a smile and helped her tidy up her scarf: "Did you figure it out so quickly?"
"Hmm!" Li Xue looked up at the gray sky and took a deep breath. "I've made up my mind. If I get bored at home, I'll go to school with Ding Can and Zhao Maimiao. There are often vacant classrooms in the university anyway, so I'll find one to study in."
"Come on." Yao Zhizhi was very pleased, but she didn't want Li Xue to go back just yet.
The next day, she took Li Xue to school and asked Li Xue to attend classes with her for a few days to experience college life.
Li Xue became more and more excited and ambitious day by day. After a week, she could not hold it in any longer and took the initiative to go back to review.
Yao Zhizhi sent her to the train station. Amid the sound of the whistle, a future star was rising.
Yao Zhizhi returned home and was just about to take a break when she saw He Feng and He Lan's parents coming over with their two children.
He also brought some snacks, looking aggressive, as if he was looking for someone to settle a score with.
Yao Zhizhi frowned, but before she could say anything, the He family's parents slammed tea eggs, braised chicken feet, fruit candies and other things on the table and said rudely, "No one wants to eat your food! After eating your food, you let your children humiliate my children at school. How can your family be so disgusting! Hurry up and count them! These are the things my Fengfeng and Lanlan have eaten. I'm returning them to you! Please write a receipt. I'll have the children take it to school so that your children won't look so superior and disgust others!"
Yao Zhizhi replied bluntly, "I don't believe my child would do this. Who humiliated your child? Find them and let's confront them face to face."
Upon hearing the noise, Little Moon rushed out from the inner room and angrily echoed, "That's right! My brother and I have never said anything about your He Feng and He Lan. Why are you accusing them so unfairly?"
Little Star also dropped the pen in his hand and came out to clarify: "Uncle He, Aunt Lu, my sister and I never get involved in these gossips. You must have made a mistake. Please take the things back. Our family does not need your return gifts. However, please don't let He Feng and He Lan come over in the future. Our temple is small and can't afford to host two large Buddhas from your family!"
