Chapter 17: Clearing Up Misunderstandings
Chapter 17: Clearing Up Misunderstandings
Wen Ning found it interesting and walked past the man without changing his expression, but stopped when he glanced at him.
"Fang Qing? Why are you still in school at this time?"
Fang Qing, who was sitting with his legs crossed and glancing at the back of a book, was startled by the person who suddenly appeared in front of him. He sat up straight and then saw clearly that the person in front of him was Wen Ning.
"Ah, why are you in school too?"
Wen Ning looked at her and sat down beside her. "You look unhappy. Are you angry with your family?"
Fang Qing moved aside, and nodded when he heard Wen Ning's words, "It's not that I'm rebellious, it's the normal behavior of parents during their rebellious period."
Wen Ning nodded in understanding; this kind of thing was very common in their family, but most of the time he was just a bystander, watching his sister and parents fighting at home.
But seeing Fang Qing's dejected look, he still felt that he should encourage him, "Well, actually these are all trivial matters. How can there be no bumps and misunderstandings in life? Just explain them clearly."
Fang Qing nodded mechanically, but still said nothing. Her mother's suspicion turned her excitement and joy into bitterness. Why can't parents trust their own children? In their eyes, children should be ignorant, have no life skills, and even be deceived when they go out?
"They just worry about you, not that they don't trust you."
Wen Ning's words just answered Fang Qing's question. She looked up at the boy next to her with a look of astonishment, "How do you know what I'm thinking?"
Wen Ning smiled but didn't answer. He just looked at the scenery in the distance for a while. It was not until Fang Qing's gaze on her made him feel a little uncomfortable that he stood up.
"If there is a problem, you have to face it and solve it. There is no use avoiding it. You are like Lingzi, hiding when something happens. This is not okay."
After saying that, he finally couldn't help but flick the ball of fur on Fang Qing's hat, and quickly walked away while Fang Qing was stunned.
Fang Qing was still thinking about his words, but was confused by his childish actions. However, Wen Ning's words still made Fang Qing listen. Her mother didn't trust her about this matter, and she didn't have a chance to explain it clearly. She couldn't blame her mother for misunderstanding...
Thinking of this, she could no longer read, so she closed the book, tied her hat tightly, and strode out of the school. Just as she reached the door, she saw her eldest brother pushing a bicycle towards her, so she simply went home with him.
The Fang family held a family meeting all night. Fang Qing talked about the reasons why he wanted to make money and the results of his hard work during this period. When they saw the dozens of dollars on the table, everyone had different expressions on their faces.
Father Fang Decai looked guilty, "It's my fault that I can't give you and your sister a good life. I even let my daughter go out and do hard labor. Alas!"
Fang's mother was not as happy as Fang Qing had imagined. She pushed the money to Fang Qing and said, "Mom misunderstood you before. It's my fault. But I still don't agree with you starting a business at such a young age. Your main task now is to study hard. Your brother is not doing well, but you have to do well. Don't lose your bright future for the sake of immediate benefits..."
Although Fang Ming wanted to support his sister, he could only shut up after seeing his parents' expressions, and just gave his sister a thumbs up under the table.
Fang Qing was a little depressed, but thinking of the ugly mother-in-law, Fang Qing gritted his teeth and insisted on his own ideas, "I make money not only to improve the conditions of my family, but also for my future development. Since you don't support me, I will not do it in the future."
The family meeting ended unpleasantly, and Fang Qing went to school as usual the next morning, but this time it was her father who took her to school.
Unlike his older brother who rode very fast, his father rode very steadily. The father and daughter rode in silence all the way until they came to a small slope. The father had a hard time riding, so they simply jumped off the bike and pushed it forward.
"Qingqing, don't blame your mother. The last incident left her with a broken heart. She is now worried about any movement of yours. As a daughter, I hope you can understand our feelings as parents. But Dad believes in you and supports you. My daughter is excellent in everything she does. If you really like it, go for it! But the premise is that you are not allowed to delay your studies..."
His father said a lot along the way, which gradually made Fang Qing, who was depressed, come to his senses. He had always hoped that his family would be happy, but now his parents just didn't understand him. Why did he lose his patience?
"Dad, yesterday... my attitude wasn't good either. Thank you for understanding me. I also understand your and mom's worries. But don't worry, I will protect myself. Don't always treat me like a child. I'm grown up now. You can try to rely on me..."
Fang Decai felt warm and sad when he heard his daughter's words. His daughter had grown up and knew how to care for others. He suddenly felt his eyes getting hot, and he quickly looked up at the sky and smiled with relief.
"Okay, okay, Dad will remember..."
The father and daughter walked and talked along the way. The winding path and the father's broad back still remained in Fang Qing's heart many years later.
…
At the end of the year, the school organized students to take physical fitness tests before the big exams, and the physical education scores were also included in the final scores. Fang Qing, who had never paid much attention to sports, finally realized his shortcomings.
The physical education teacher was waiting for Fang Qing at the finish line, holding a stopwatch. One lap, two laps. When all the students had finished and everyone on the playground had left, Fang Qing was still moving slowly...
The teacher took a look at the sun that was about to set and was too lazy to urge Fang Qing anymore, so he simply asked his colleagues to get him a meal.
"Teacher, I've finished running!" Fang Qing came over with a pale face. The teacher pressed the stop button very professionally, and then showed Fang Qing the time she had spent running 1,500 meters. "Student, I think you can practice more. With diligent practice, you will soon catch up..."
Fang Qing nodded seriously, "Teacher, then what do you think I should do to adjust? I feel like I can't breathe when I run..."
The teacher looked at her for a long time and finally came to a conclusion, "In your case... I suggest you go see a doctor. Maybe you are allergic to the air."
After the teacher walked a long way with the lunch box, Fang Qing's brain, which had stopped working due to lack of oxygen, finally reacted, "Allergic to the air? Teacher, you can't be so mean..."
But no matter what, her results were really bad, and even her head teacher knew that she had failed the physical fitness test. So she mobilized the students in the class and encouraged everyone to go to the playground to run after evening self-study, so as to motivate those students who didn't like running.
Wen Ling and Fang Qing were dragged to the playground, where many students were running. The enthusiasm for sports instantly stimulated Fang Qing and the other student. They looked at each other and rushed to the playground like flying.
"Classmates, come on, victory is just around the corner!"
"Breathe, keep breathing, yes, just like that, hey, run, run..."
