Actually, it's good to have rankings for grades after the third grade, as it allows you to know how well your child has grasped the material. But it's definitely not about talking about how badly a child is doing in the group chat every week.
The schools nowadays are great; their rankings are all stars.
The little guy is really well-behaved. He goes to school obediently and helps prepare things when he comes back. He eats whatever Mo Yan gives him with great relish.
When asked if he was happy at school, he would laugh and talk about what happened at school, as if everything was good.
Actually, how could that be?
It's okay if he can't keep up with the pace at first; he can overcome it on his own.
Later, when his classmates found out that his father had been arrested, they would ask him about it out of curiosity, but he didn't care.
Some things you just have to face.
At this point, the neighborhood kids would stand up and say, "Don't compare who your dad is, if you're so capable, compare grades or fists! Mu Jiarui is from our Happiness Lane!"
Mu Jiarui's eyes lit up when he heard what his friend said. Yes, he also had friends.
Their street is Happiness Lane. They used to be from this village. Later, the area was planned to become a town, and they went from being Happiness Village to Happiness Lane.
So overall, it's pretty good.
Sometimes Jiarui would go out to play with his friends, collect snails and crayfish, and have his grandma help them process them. Moyan would then make them spicy crayfish and stir-fried snails.
After the kids happily finished eating, they went to the back to do their homework together.
After Ge Liang's case was investigated and clarified, he was imprisoned. Seeing this situation, his parents had no choice but to return to their hometown. Even if they were ridiculed, they had to go back because it was impossible to live there.
Ge Liang's wife didn't go back. She found a job, divorced Ge Liang, and was no longer willing to take care of his family.
Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
That year, Jia Rui was ten years old and in the fifth grade.
This child is six years old and in first grade. Jia Rui was in second grade when he came back.
Jia Rui, a fifth-grader, is now as tall as Mo Yan. If it weren't for his still youthful face, everyone would probably say he's a grown man.
Jiarui has worked exceptionally hard these past few years and has achieved excellent academic results, consistently ranking first.
She also loves reading, often reading until late at night, and Mo Yan has to turn off the lights.
In the past two years, Mo Yan's business has been getting better and better, so she simply hired someone and just looked after it herself every day.
On this day, a special customer came to the small shop, dressed in an exquisite cheongsam and carrying a designer handbag.
Hearing that she wanted to see the boss, Mo Yan went over and saw that it was Ji Shu.
What brings you here?
Mo Yan didn't have any particular feelings towards Ji Shu, but she wouldn't give him a friendly look either.
You've been gone for three years, not even willing to make a phone call or a video call. What are you doing back now?
"mom."
She stood up and knelt down before Mo Yan. "Mom, I beg you, please help me, okay? I want to see Jia Rui, I miss him so much, I want him to live with me, is that alright?"
"No way." Mo Yan refused outright. "Back then, you didn't even make a single phone call after you left. How can you expect me to believe that you would take good care of my Jia Rui?"
Besides, you're not his guardian. You voluntarily relinquished your guardianship back then and promised never to fight for it.
Later, Mo Yan learned that the reason Mu Xiu agreed to the divorce so quickly was because Ji Shu promised never to take custody of Jia Rui.
Ji Shu naturally knew about this, so she squeezed her eyes hard, letting tears fall from the corners of her eyes, before looking at Mo Yan.
“I know, but back then I didn’t have the ability, I didn’t have a job, and I couldn’t give Jia Rui a good future. Now I have a good job and I can support him. As a mother, I naturally want to be with my child forever. Didn’t you also say that you hope I call Jia Rui often? That shows that you also know that children need their mothers.”
She knows that my wife may seem strong, but she's actually incredibly soft-hearted. All I have to do is soften my attitude and the old lady will agree.
She used to not know how to get along with her mother-in-law, but after she found out, they got along quite well.
I suppose it's still like that now, isn't it?
"So, did you make a phone call or a video call during this time?" It wasn't that she didn't give Ji Shu a chance. "You can meet with him, and you can visit him every month, but you can't take him away. I don't see any love from you for him, and I'm not at ease with you."
If Ji Shu really loved Jia Rui as much as she claimed, she wouldn't have never made a single phone call.
For three years, more than a thousand days and nights, Ji Shu never appeared or made a single phone call. How could Mo Yan believe that she loved Jia Rui?
“I’m afraid to call him. I’m afraid he’ll miss me even more after I call, and I’ll be unable to stop thinking about him. Mom, you’re a mother too, you know how I feel, right? I’m not calling because I’m at ease. I know you will take good care of Jia Rui.”
That sounds nice, but it's not convincing at all.
"You're not even willing to spend a few minutes on the phone, and now you're telling me all this? Don't you find it ridiculous?"
You said you were afraid of making him sad, but do you know that he would be looking forward to it, looking forward to your return, looking forward to your phone call?
And you? You haven't done anything, and now you're telling me you miss him? You want to take him away?
Do you know what he likes? Do you know what his hobbies are? Do you know what his wishes are? You know nothing, and you're telling me you love him?
But if you really love him, you wouldn't have come here; you should have gone to the school immediately, right?
Ji Shu was stunned for a moment, then slowly stood up. She looked up but no tears came out. She was afraid that crying would make her eyes blurry, so she had only made a few sobbing noises.
"I'm just afraid you'll misunderstand. I'm worried that if I go directly to the school, you'll misunderstand. I'm doing this out of respect for you."
Well, they really know how to come up with a nice excuse.
"Okay, then tell me where you're going to take Jiarui, what school he'll attend, where he'll study, what your current job is, how much your monthly income is, and how you're going to ensure Jiarui's livelihood."
Do you have time to pick him up and drop him off? Do you have time to take him to his extracurricular classes?
Can you take good care of him?
Mo Yan asked too many questions, which immediately stumped Ji Shu. She didn't dare to look Mo Yan in the eye, as if she wanted to hide something.
“I…I am now…” Ji Shu thought for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, “Mom, actually I have remarried now. I married my husband. My husband is very rich. I don’t need to work. He said he will treat Jia Rui as his own child. I’m taking Jia Rui with me to enjoy life. We haven’t decided which school Jia Rui will go to yet, but we will definitely arrange it for him in the end.”
