An Hongguang sobbed in grievance, "Everyone says so. He has no parents and can only live in our house. It's not me who said that."
Liu Danmin slapped her son's butt twice. "I told you to study recklessly, I told you to study recklessly. You didn't learn the good things, but you learned these. I let you go to school just so you can learn to talk nonsense, right? This is your cousin, how can you say that to him?"
"Wow, wow, wow!" An Hongguang, who was already crying, cried even louder.
"Shut up!" Liu Danmin shouted.
An Hongguang was so frightened that his tears stopped. He just closed his mouth and looked at his mother aggrievedly, burping from time to time.
Liu Danmin felt a little distressed after seeing this. He squatted down, stroking his son's shoulders with both hands, and said patiently, "You can never say these words again, okay? You are brothers. Your uncle is busy making money outside, so he doesn't have time to take care of Minghe. Minghe is not an unwanted child, okay?"
No matter what An Jingzhi is like, there are some things that cannot be said in front of children.
An Hongguang nodded aggrievedly, with a tear still stuck on his eyelashes.
Liu Danmin wiped his eyes and turned to look at An Minghe who had quietly come to the gate of the courtyard with his head down and remained silent.
She pulled An Hongguang to An Minghe and gently asked An Hongguang, "Tell me, why did you fight today?"
An Hongguang pouted, half crying, and said, "I asked him to show me his homework, but he refused. So I... I just imitated others and said that no one wanted Ming He, saying that his father was a bad guy and a second-rate person."
The word "erliuzi" is used to describe people who are idle and like to stir up trouble. It is impossible for a child to understand this by himself. Liu Danmin secretly cursed the gossipy women in the village for corrupting her child.
He lowered his head and taught An Hongguang, "Then this is your fault. Why did you say Minghe is unwanted? Minghe has a father. Think about it, if someone says that you are unwanted and that your father is a jerk, would you be happy?"
An Hongguang shook his head like a rattle, "My dad is not like that! Someone wants me!"
Liu Danmin smiled and said, "That's it. You're not happy about it. How can Minghe be happy if you say that? Why don't you apologize to Minghe?"
An Hongguang glanced at An Minghe, who was looking down. Encouraged by his mother's gaze, he hesitantly walked up to An Minghe and whispered, "Yes, I'm sorry, brother. I shouldn't have said that to you."
An Minghe slowly raised his head and said softly but firmly, "My father didn't abandon me! He's just too busy with work!"
Then his tone became a little low, "I am also sorry for something, I shouldn't have hit you." But you can't copy homework.
The two children apologized to each other and quickly reconciled. Liu Danmin looked at the sensible An Minghe with some heartache, and thought to herself, what a sin, how could such a well-behaved child have such an ignorant pair of parents.
"Also, didn't mom tell you to do your own homework? Why did you copy Minghe's?"
An Hongguang felt even more guilty.
"If I catch you doing this again, you'll lose all your pocket money," Liu Danmin warned.
An Jingzhi and Boss An stood at the door and watched the whole time without saying a word. An Jingzhi felt in his heart that if the original owner had not taken An Minghe away, and An Minghe had grown up here, he would probably have become a promising person when he grew up, right?
But according to the original owner's character, An Minghe would definitely be entangled by the original owner after he became successful, and in the end An Minghe would still be dragged into hell by the original owner because this child really longed for fatherly love.
An Jingzhi, who was far away, could see An Minghe's determination and admiration when he talked about his father.
The two children who were originally arguing with each other reconciled with the mediation of Liu Danmin.
As he was walking towards the room, An Minghe suddenly stopped and looked at the tall figure with tears in his eyes, the figure he had been thinking about day and night.
"Dad!" The next second, his longing for Dad poured out, and An Minghe ran towards An Jingzhi at almost the fastest speed in his life.
An Jingzhi also squatted down at the right time, opened his arms to catch the other person, then picked him up, stood up, and touched An Minghe's head.
"How's it going? Do you miss daddy?"
An Minghe nodded vigorously, afraid that if he was too slow to reply, the other party would disappear. He hurriedly said, "I miss Dad! Dad, you finally came to see me!"
He is not an unwanted wild child. He has a father who loves him the most. It’s just that his father has no time to take care of him because he has to work.
"I'm going to cook. You two can play with the kids." Liu Danmin said this and took off the apron in the yard, walking towards the kitchen.
The chicken that An Jingzhi brought was killed, and a bowl of stewed chicken was added to the vegetarian dishes for lunch.
After Liu Danmin came to the table, she gave the two chicken legs to the two children respectively.
The two children were obviously used to this distribution and did not find it strange.
"What's that hard thing wrapped in paper underneath you? I didn't have time to open it and take a look." Liu Danmin asked at the dinner table.
After taking a sip of the chicken soup, An Jingzhi said, "The exercise book I brought to Hongguang is a best-seller because the children in the county have to do the exercise book in addition to the homework assigned by the teacher."
An Hongguang was eating a delicious chicken leg when he heard the bad news. It was like a bolt from the blue. He looked up at his uncle in disbelief. The uncle he hated now made him hate him even more!
Unlike An Hongguang's angry look, Liu Danmin's eyes lit up. "Do kids in the city do this kind of exercise book?"
An Jingzhi nodded and said, "Yes, the reason why children in the city perform better than those in the countryside is not only because of their teachers, but also because of these extracurricular tutoring books. For example, in math, doing more exercises is always beneficial."
Liu Danmin nodded in agreement, "He really needs to do more exercises. This kid gets wild when he's on vacation." He turned and looked at An Minghe lovingly, "If Hongguang were half as smart as Minghe, I wouldn't be worried. Minghe always gets 100 points on his exams. What about him?"
He looked at his silly son with some disdain and said, "I'd be so lucky if I could get 90 points on the test."
An Jingzhi said lovingly in front of An Hongguang's horrified eyes, "Hongguang is still young, he's only in the second grade this year. If he does more exercises, his grades will improve. I will bring back tutoring books more often in the future."
Liu Danmin looked at An Jingzhi in surprise and said, "Don't worry about it. I'll buy it for him after I finish the questions."
An Jingzhi smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, aren't we a family? Why are you being so polite to me? Besides, I live in the county, so it's more convenient for me to buy things. You may not be able to buy them here."
"Is there anything you can't buy?" Liu Danmin didn't understand what An Jingzhi wanted to do and didn't dare to agree rashly.
Boss An kept his head down while eating at the table. Looking at his younger brother and his wife getting along harmoniously, a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
Boss An knows that his younger brother is useless, but he is his biological brother after all, and his wife is also good to him. She said that she doesn't want to raise a son for her brother, but she has raised him for so many years. Boss An respects his wife, and he is the one who suffers the most every time.
