Chapter 102 Education
“Zhang Haihua, do you still have any objections? Lu Mingyue and Zheng Xiuhua have already made things clear. If you still feel it's inappropriate, let's have a meeting and discuss it together, so you won't think I'm being biased.”
Wang Lixia has lived in the family compound for so many years, and she dares not say that she has never made a mistake, but this is the first time that someone has pointed their finger at her and said that she is unfair. This is simply slander.
Everyone here has come from hard times. The situation outside is not optimistic. They have finally achieved their current comfortable life on the island. If Zhang Haihua makes a big fuss, she will suffer the consequences herself.
Zhang Haihua felt as if she had been struck on the head with a hammer, and it took her a long time to recover. It wasn't until she heard Director Wang's words that she stammered for a long time before finally managing to squeeze out a few words, "It was my fault. I apologize to you. I'm sorry."
After saying sorry, he turned and ran away before anyone could react.
Director Wang sighed, "That person is really something. Don't take her words to heart. There aren't that many rules in our residential compound."
If everyone who goes up the mountain has their tail cut off, then they will all be arrested.
Lu Mingyue: "Director Wang, please have some more chestnut cake. We just made it and it's very fresh."
Director Wang waved his hand, "No, it's almost lunchtime, I should go back and cook for Old Man Li, you guys eat."
She spoke up for her, and Lu Mingyue was very grateful. Hearing that she was in a hurry to go home, the two of them quickly wrapped a few chestnut cakes in oil paper.
"Director Wang, please take these home and try them. Thank you for your help today."
A sweet aroma wafted to his nose, and Director Wang accepted it with a smile. "Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony. Your chestnut cake smells really good; I can smell it from far away. I'll have to go up the mountain to see it sometime."
After seeing Director Wang off, Zheng Xiuhua was still a little angry. "That Zhang Haihua can't stand seeing others do well. She gets jealous when we go up the mountain to find some chestnuts. What kind of person is she?"
Leilei took a bite of chestnut cake and wholeheartedly agreed with his aunt's words: Cui Xiaojun was a little rascal, and his mother was a big rascal.
Lu Mingyue didn't understand the mentality of this kind of person either. She guessed that she just couldn't stand seeing others do well. She should avoid contact with such a person in the future.
On the other side, Zhang Haihua returned home and bumped into a mud-covered monkey as soon as she entered the door.
When Cui Erjun saw his mother return, he was so frightened that he ran away as fast as he could.
"stop!"
Before he could move, Zhang Haihua grabbed him by the collar. Seeing that his clothes were covered in yellow mud, she snapped, "Where have you been running around like a madman?"
Cui Erjun shrank his neck and glanced at her fearfully, "I didn't go anywhere, I just stayed at home playing."
Zhang Haihua: "I think you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin. You still dare to lie to me. You can't believe that you can ruin your clothes like this while playing at home. No one would believe that."
Seeing that she was about to get serious, Cui Erjun quickly begged for mercy: "I was just playing in the stream at the bottom of the back mountain."
They found a lot of fish there, but because they hadn't brought anything, they couldn't catch any. He came back to look for a fish basket, but by sheer coincidence, he ran into his mother coming home.
Zhang Haihua got angry as soon as she heard about the back mountain. Her anger surged up and she looked around for a handy tool to teach him a lesson.
Cui Erjun struggled free and ran away. He bumped into Cui Xiaojun at the corner. The two brothers were wearing identical clothes.
Zhang Haihua, who followed closely behind, was heaving with her chest, and she was holding a willow twig in her hand.
Cui Erjun knew something was wrong: "Run!"
Without waiting for her younger brother's reaction, she ran off.
The shouts of Cui Xiaojun and the pleas for mercy of Cui Erjun echoed over the family compound.
Director Wang had just come out of Lu Mingyue's house when he heard the commotion and frowned. How could Zhang Haihua manage her child, who was always making a ruckus?
Thinking of Lu Mingyue's two well-behaved children, he shook his head and sighed. Indeed, there are differences between people.
The Mid-Autumn Festival arrived quickly.
Huo Zheng held up an award certificate, comparing it to the wall, and asked, "Is this fair?"
Lu Mingyue: "That's fine, let's just stick it there."
"My brother is amazing! I want to be like him when I grow up!"
Yao Yao's eyes sparkled as she stared intently at the certificates on the wall.
Leilei was a little embarrassed, "It's not that amazing."
The day before the holiday, the preschool gave each child a certificate and a red flower; every student in the class received one.
Lu Mingyue stroked his hair and said, "You're amazing. In your parents' and sister's hearts, Leilei is the most amazing kid."
Huo Zheng stood beside Lu Mingyue and nodded in agreement.
Lei Lei's lips slowly curved upwards, his eyes brimming with undisguised joy.
"Okay, let's go make the call."
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, a time for family reunions, this family, living far away on an island, could not reunite with their relatives and could only express their longing through phone calls.
Beijing City.
Huo Li'an excitedly leaned on the table, chatting with his brother on the phone and listening to him tell stories about the island.
He had never left Beijing since he was a child and was full of curiosity about the outside world.
Leilei: "Next time you come to my house, I'll take you fishing."
"Okay, okay!" Huo Li'an was eager to try.
"Mom, let's go play with Leilei."
Wen Yuexian smiled and said, "But you still have to go to school, and your parents have to go to work, so we can only go during the holidays."
Huo Li'an counted on his fingers and realized that it would be a long time before the next holiday, and going to the island would involve a long train journey, so the holiday would probably be over before they even arrived.
"When can I meet Leilei?"
His head drooped instantly.
The two brothers were so close when they lived in Beijing that they could share a pair of pants. Even though they were thousands of miles apart, they would chat whenever they talked on the phone if they were home. They didn't even know if the other had grown taller.
Hearing his dejected voice, Lu Mingyue comforted him, "If we have a holiday, we can go home for the New Year, and then you can play with Leilei again, okay?"
Huo Li'an: "Okay."
With his aunt's words, Huo Li'an felt that the waiting time wouldn't be too long.
Wen Yuexian took the phone from her son and laughed, "This child has no idea how difficult it is for him to come and go like this. Mingyue, don't pay any attention to him."
"It's alright, sister-in-law. Both children miss their families too. We'll try to find some time to go back during the Spring Festival."
She and Huo Zheng have been married for so long, but she has never met his family. They only communicate by phone and letter.
Since her parents-in-law were not home, Lu Mingyue asked her sister-in-law to send her greetings before hanging up the phone.
On the way back, the two children walked in the middle holding hands, with Lu Mingyue and Huo Zheng holding their hands on either side.
"Mom, Xiaoman is coming to play with me later. Can I bring my little sister along?"
Yesterday, when we had a day off, Xiaoman said she wanted to come visit him, and Leilei wanted to introduce his good friend to his sister.
"Okay, Mom has no objection. You can ask your sister if she wants to go."
Leilei looked at his younger sister expectantly.
Yao Yao frowned, looking conflicted. She wanted to stay with her mother, who said she would cook lots of delicious food for dinner, and she could taste the dishes for her mother. But she couldn't bear to refuse her brother.
