When Song Lili brought Xiao Baozi home, it was already evening and the sun was setting. Some houses were already emitting wisps of smoke from their chimneys.
"What's wrong?" As soon as I got home, I found that my family members all looked unhappy, angry, and somewhat aggrieved.
"It's all because of Luo Yuejin, he's gone too far, actually saying that we were the ones who pushed down the wall and that he doesn't care." Zhang Qingguo's eyes were red with anger.
Song Lili was so angry she laughed. How shameless! She was the one who did all the dirty work, but in the end she was crying wolf. How utterly shameless!
What did your older brother say?
"My brother went out without saying anything and hasn't come back yet," Zhang Qingguo said dejectedly.
He had wanted to teach Luo Yuejin a lesson with his older brother, but his brother had already left, leaving him frustrated and waiting at home.
He had always followed his older brother since he was a child. He did whatever his older brother did, and if his older brother didn't do anything, he could only wait.
"Then just wait and see, your older brother definitely won't abandon us."
Although they could build that wall themselves, they absolutely couldn't just continue doing it in such a frustrating way.
That evening, when only the couple and their sleeping child, Baozi, were left, Song Lili finally asked Zhang Qinghua a question.
"What are you planning to do about this?" Luo Yuejin was always making small moves, which was really annoying.
Luo Juan and Luo Yuejin are indeed siblings; they share the same talent for being annoying.
"An eye for an eye. Since he did it but won't admit it, I'll just return the favor."
Song Lili smiled, a bright and happy smile, and pounced on Zhang Qinghua, kissing him on the cheek.
"I really like your mischievous side; it's very charming."
The saying "Women love bad boys" seems to hold some truth.
Zhang Qinghua raised an eyebrow. "You like my bad side? What kind of bad side?"
"You're so annoying."
"Hehe, how can you say you hate it? Didn't you just say you liked it? Which of your statements is true?"
"Guess," Song Lili yawned lazily. "Okay, I'm going to sleep." She already knew the answer she needed to know.
I listened to it all afternoon, using up countless brain cells, and now I'm really sleepy.
"No, you abandoned me today, don't even think about it."
The next day, Song Lili didn't get up until late morning, and was only woken up by Xiao Baozi pinching her nose.
"Mommy, sleepyhead, wake up! Grandpa has called me several times already," the little dumpling said softly, sticking out his little bottom.
"Okay, then get dressed and go out." Song Lili slapped his little hand away, mumbled sleepily, and wanted to go back to sleep.
"No, I want you to dress me, and I want you to carry me out. Hurry up, I'm hungry." The little boy straddled Song Lili, refusing to give in.
Moreover, his chubby little hands not only pinched her nose, but also pried open her eyes and pulled her ears, basically not letting Song Lili have any peace.
Finally, Song Lili was so annoyed that she couldn't get angry when she woke up, but she couldn't bring herself to get angry at such a cute and clever little devil, so she decided to blame it on his father.
So, when the mother and son ate their belated breakfast, Zhang Qinghua received several eye rolls and countless glares from Song Lili.
Zhang Qinghua was speechless. What was going on?
All day long, Zhang Qinghua couldn't figure out what he had done to offend Song Lili, that she would ignore him for the entire day.
Song Lili had a terrible temper. She tormented Zhang Qinghua for two or three days before she calmed down. Zhang Qinghua finally realized what he had done to offend Song Lili.
After finding out, he was left with nothing but helplessness. He was so wronged, okay?
Why should he be blamed for what his son did? He wanted to protest.
In the end, I decided against it; after all, he was my own son.
He took out a book and placed it in front of Song Lili, saying, "Take a look."
Song Lili was confused. "You want me to look? I didn't say I wanted to look at a book."
"Didn't you promise me you'd take the high school entrance exam? I've already made arrangements with someone; if you pass, they'll give you your high school diploma."
"You've agreed?" Song Lili asked in surprise, her round eyes wide. This... how could this be?
Although education is more relaxed now, it hasn't reached this level.
She agreed to his proposal because she thought it was impossible.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Qinghua has actually managed to get it done?
Which idiot agreed to this? No high school education, and you can get a diploma just by passing the exams? If it's that easy, does that mean everyone is a high school graduate?
Little did she know, Zhang Qinghua had already found out all along and was telling her this beforehand, so she couldn't possibly escape the truth.
Zhang Qinghua raised an eyebrow, looking at Song Lili's evasive expression, "Of course, since you've agreed, I'll do my best."
"When have I ever not taken your words to heart?"
Song Lili: "..." I really wish you hadn't taken it seriously this time.
But……
Seeing Zhang Qinghua looking at her with a half-smile, Song Lili swallowed her words of regret and reluctantly sat back down.
"Don't forget, I just forgave you." She said fiercely, her face contorted.
Zhang Qinghua found it amusing. Did he really dislike reading that much? He hadn't noticed before.
"You don't like it that much? Then why did you make me read the book? Since you don't like it, I won't read it either," Zhang Qinghua said deliberately.
"No, you have to see it. I... I'll pass. Seeing these things gives me a headache."
Zhang Qinghua truly loved it. Although there had been no news of him over the years, he never gave up on his studies.
When things got a little easier, he would bring back some books from the cave, and he could often be seen reading them.
Moreover, he had read through the books left by his mother several times.
Therefore, Song Lili thought of letting Zhang Qinghua take the college entrance examination. Since he liked it, he could go to university.
As for herself, she really didn't want to study again. She graduated from university and didn't want to do it all over again.
She also planned to go into business in the future, and whether or not she went to university would not make any difference.
"Lili, I don't believe you. You don't want to, do you? You were really enjoying reading those books we brought back from the recycling station."
"I haven't seen you get a headache just looking at books, so why do you get a headache when I ask you to look at textbooks?"
This is also what Zhang Qinghua can't understand: they're all books, so why are they treated differently?
He didn't know at the time that there was a type of person who would doze off at the sight of a textbook, but would become wide awake and full of energy at the sight of a leisure book, as if they had taken a super tonic.
