Sun Lan frowned and pulled Chen Qiang down from the wall. "You naughty boy, all you think about all day is eating. What else can you do besides eating? Can't you be more ambitious? Why do you have to embarrass me here?"
"Damn kid! You bastard!"
While beating him, Sun Lan slapped Chen Qiang on the head.
Chen Qiang was not one to submit to fate. While dodging, he said, "Mom, can you please stop scolding me for being useless all day long? Even if I had any, you would have ruined it. Can't you learn from Aunt Zeng? Aunt Zeng was so gentle to Yang Jianjun and never called him useless."
Compare her with Zeng Qi?
She is the wife of the deputy head of the group and a cadre of the Women's Federation. How can she compare?
She used to work as a dishwasher in the cafeteria, but now she has lost her job as a dishwasher.
Sun Lan was so angry that she picked up the broom handle and wanted to spank him: "You little bastard, how dare you talk to your mother like that!"
"Look at you, you're doing something wrong. I tell you you're a jerk, but you still don't want to listen..."
"Since she's so young, then go and claim her as your mother!"
Before Chen Qiang could finish his words, Sun Lan hit him even harder.
"Ouch, ouch, it hurts... Mom, I was wrong, I was wrong, Mom, please don't hit me anymore... You'll make me stupid if you keep hitting me..." Chen Qiang was beaten so hard that he grimaced and cried for his parents. He never dared to say that Sun Lan was not as good as other people's mothers again.
There was only a wall between the two houses, and Feng Juan could hear everything going on next door, but since it had nothing to do with her, she pretended not to hear anything.
Zeng Qi smiled awkwardly, holding the enamel teacup filled with brine, and said to Feng Juan: "Auntie, thank you for the brine. I'll go back first."
"Let's go back." Feng Juan waved her hand. "It's getting late. I have to go to the front to see if the young couple has finished get off work. If they have, I'll ask them to come to the back to eat."
"Okay, then go ahead." Hearing Feng Juan's words, Zeng Qi smiled and nodded, then turned around and went home.
Passing by Sun Lan's door, Sun Lan deliberately took a broom and pointed at Chen Qiang in front of Zeng Qi, saying viciously: "You only envy Yang Jianjun's mother. Why don't you look at Yang Jianjun? He is a good student, obedient, and knows how to help with housework at home. What about you? All you do is play all day! If you had half the potential of her, I wouldn't be so worried!"
Chen Qiang grumbled, feeling very dissatisfied. He felt that he was no worse than Yang Jianjun, but his mother just couldn't see his strengths.
Zeng Qi was extremely embarrassed, but as a Women's Federation cadre, she couldn't pretend not to see it, so she bit the bullet and persuaded Sun Lan several times, "Chen Qiang's mother, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't hit the child."
Sun Lan didn't appreciate it. She glanced at her and rolled her eyes: "I beat my own child, what does it have to do with you?"
“…”
Well, she was meddling too much.
Zeng Qi decisively left.
Sun Lan watched Zeng Qi leave and snorted, "Isn't it just being a Women's Federation cadre? What's so great about that! But she is so outstanding."
Chen Qiang touched his sore buttocks and muttered softly, "Being a cadre is so great! If you have the chance, you can become one too."
"What did you say?" Sun Lan glared at him.
"No, nothing." Chen Qiang shrank his neck and ran out: "I'm going out to see if Dad has finished get off work."
Sun Lan spat, "You little bastard, you run so fast."
Chen Qiang ran out in a panic and almost bumped into Feng Juan who was walking out of the alley.
"Ouch." Feng Juan subconsciously moved to the side.
Chen Qiang quickly stopped and turned back to say to her, "I'm sorry."
The child was quite polite, and since they didn't actually bump into each other, Feng Juan didn't take it seriously and waved him away.

After get off work at noon, He Tingjun rode his bicycle with Yun Qiao. As soon as they reached the entrance of the alley, they met their next-door neighbor Yuan Jiahui.
She greeted Yun Qiao with a smile and teased her, "Yun Qiao, hurry home! You're in for a treat tomorrow! Your mother bought half a pig's head from the grocery store and braised it especially for you. It smelled so good that all the kids in the compound are clamoring for more."
