The next day, when Lin Wangshu and Jiang Weidong met, they remembered what had happened the night before. Both of them felt a little awkward and didn't speak. They sat down and ate in silence, their ears turning red.
In the past, Jiang Weidong would never have been so quiet. He would always sit with Lin Wangshu affectionately, talking non-stop.
But their unusual quietness seemed normal today, because Dehua's face was unusually ugly, and every move he made was filled with resentment.
Upon seeing this, everyone at the table fell silent, not daring to even make a sound while eating, and glancing at Dehua's expression every now and then.
Fortunately, Dehua had no appetite to begin with. She sat at the table, getting angrier and angrier, slammed her chopsticks on the table, and stormed out.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Yafei and the others smiled and even made faces at each other.
Jiang Defu only then noticed that something was wrong with Jiang Weidong and Lin Wangshu, seeing that they were avoiding each other's eyes.
He couldn't help but feel puzzled. They were fine yesterday, chatting away together in the evening, but today they're arguing.
Just then, Anjie frowned at the children and said, "You should all be more careful when you eat peach shortbread in the future. Don't make a mess of crumbs everywhere and attract rats."
Yafei protested, "What does this have to do with us? We caught the food with our hands when we ate it."
"Who else could it be but you?" Anjie looked incredulous and continued, "The rats were causing the most trouble last night. Be careful, or they might carry you away in the middle of the night."
Upon hearing this, the children couldn't help but laugh, and even Jiang Weidong chuckled.
Only Lin Wangshu realized that the noise An Jie heard last night could have been the sound of her and Jiang Weidong arguing.
Thinking of this, Lin Wangshu pursed her lips awkwardly, secretly vowing never to sneak a late-night snack with him again.
Seeing Lin Wangshu lower her head further and further, almost burying it in the bowl, Jiang Defu couldn't help but joke, "I think they're just two little mice. They made a lot of noise last night, maybe they had a fight."
Hearing him say something so mischievous for the first time, not only did Yafia Ning laugh so hard she almost fell over, but An Jie couldn't help but chuckle as well.
When Jiang Defu saw Lin Wangshu secretly glare at the grinning Jiang Weidong, but without any anger on her face, he knew that the matter between them was not serious, and he was relieved.
Just as everyone was finishing their meal, Jiang Weimin suddenly burst into laughter, his body trembling, and he even dropped the steamed bun in his hand.
"This is so funny, hahaha, how come mice can talk, hahaha, and even argue, hahahahaha."
He was slow to react, and after chewing on his steamed bun and pondering for a while, he finally realized what was funny and burst into uncontrollable laughter.
Everyone looked at him helplessly, wondering how such a silly child could come from such a family.
On his way to school, Jiang Weidong had already put aside his little grudges after a morning of laughter and merriment.
He was just annoyed that Lin Wangshu was ignoring him, and he felt that Little Moon was probably still angry with him.
So he gradually slowed down and walked side by side with Lin Wangshu, while also giving a look to signal Yafei, who was in the way, to move aside.
Lin Wangshu saw all of this. A faint smile appeared on her lips, but then her expression turned cold, and she deliberately ignored him.
Jiang Weidong grew increasingly uneasy and cautiously said, "Little Moon, are you still angry? I didn't mean to, please don't ignore me."
Because Lin Wangshu ignored him, Jiang Weidong lost his appetite and only ate one of the steamed buns Dehua made.
Lin Wangshu snorted, "You were the one who stopped talking to me first, why should I take the initiative to talk to you?"
This morning, as soon as he saw me, he hurriedly looked away, thinking, "I'm not a tiger, I can't possibly eat him."
Although Jiang Weidong didn't get a kind look from her, he didn't seem disappointed. Instead, he grinned, as long as Xiaoyue was still willing to talk to him.
Therefore, he raised his hand and vowed that he would greet Xiaoyueliang first thing every day and would never let her be neglected.
Seeing his serious and solemn expression, Lin Wangshu finally couldn't hold back and lowered her eyes to laugh.
This smile was like ice and snow melting away, as radiant as the sunset, which delighted Jiang Weidong. His hands, which were hanging at his sides, were itching to reach out and grasp the hand of the person next to him.
Jiang Weiguo, who was walking ahead, glanced back unintentionally and saw that the two had resumed their usual intimate behavior. He couldn't help but roll his eyes. The speed at which they made up was too fast.
Meanwhile, Jiang Defu felt that Wang Zhenbiao was acting strangely today. They were going to have a big meeting in the morning, and the person presiding over it was Wang Zhenbiao.
But he changed his ways. Instead of picking a fight and criticizing him, he always looked at Jiang Defu with a look that Jiang Defu couldn't understand.
After the previous person finished speaking, Jiang Defu suppressed his doubts, cleared his throat, and was about to speak when Wang Zhenbiao interrupted him.
"First of all, I must criticize myself here. Because of my poor upbringing, my son made a reactionary Nazi gesture in public."
"..."
Then came his usual long-winded speech, which left Jiang Defu stunned. Only then did he realize why Wang Zhenbiao was always looking at him.
This made Jiang Defu both angry and amused. He didn't take it to heart at all. Wang Zhenbiao's attitude was truly judging Jiang Defu by his own standards!
So after the meeting ended, Jiang Defu deliberately waited until everyone had left before smilingly saying to Wang Zhenbiao, "Old Wang, I see those dark circles under your eyes. You probably didn't sleep well last night, did you?"
"If you ask me, you should keep less on your mind. Look at me, I forget unimportant things as soon as I hear them."
Finally, he sighed and said, "We really are different in every way."
After saying that, he put his hands behind his back and walked away with a smile.
Wang Zhenbiao was left alone, his expression uncertain. As he stood up, his eyes fell on the speech draft that Jiang Defu had left at his seat.
He looked around, walked over, picked it up and examined it. His expression immediately turned even uglier; there wasn't a single thing on it that had anything to do with Wang Haiyang.
Wang Zhenbiao knew that Jiang Defu was not highly educated, and if he wanted to criticize someone at length, he had to write a draft the day before.
Therefore, this shows that he never intended to use Wang Haiyang to criticize him; it was just his own petty thinking.
Wang Zhenbiao was angry. After thinking for a while, he forced a smile and went to Jiang Defu's office.
"Old Jiang, I want to talk to you about your old classmate, Old Ding."
