"How dare you run, you little bastard? Stop right there!"
Su Hongping held a willow branch, put her hands on her hips and pointed at her son not far away.
This boy took advantage of her not noticing and brought home a long worm from somewhere after school. He even showed it off in front of her daughter, scaring her into crying.
Ji Xin leaned against the door and begged for mercy, "Mom, I know I was wrong. I won't do it again next time."
"If you dare to do it again, I'll beat you until you learn your lesson."
Ji Xin saw that something was wrong and that his mother was serious, so he ran out.
I ran and shouted that I would never do it again.
Ji Xin opened the door and looked to the side. His eyes lit up and he immediately felt that his savior had come and ran straight to Gu Chengze, "Uncle Gu, save me!"
Su Hongping followed behind with a willow branch in her hand, snorted, and said, "No matter where he runs to, he will be beaten."
It was okay for him to play with the worm outside before, but this time he dared to bring it home. Next time, I’m afraid it will appear in your bed when you’re sleeping.
She shuddered all over at the thought of that scene.
"Ji Xin, don't think I can't do anything to you just because you hide behind Uncle Gu."
As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that not only Gu Chengze was standing outside, but there was also a girl he had never met before.
When they came back this morning, Su Hongping took her daughter to the sea, and when they came back, the door of the Gu family was closed.
She didn't have time to go over and say hello, and was thinking of visiting him in the evening, but she didn't expect to meet him suddenly.
Seeing the other person looking at her with surprise, Su Hongping quickly threw the willow branch aside, smiled awkwardly and said, "Captain Gu, is this your wife?"
Gu Chengze stepped aside and said, "Yes, I just came this morning."
This time, without waiting for him to speak, Lin Jingshu took the initiative to introduce herself, "Hello sister-in-law, my name is Lin Jingshu."
Su Hongping was amazed when she saw the smile on her face, and couldn't help but say, "Captain Gu, your wife is so beautiful."
Lin Jingshu's lips curled up, and she tried hard to suppress the upward corner of her mouth. She was very happy in her heart, and said embarrassedly: "Sister-in-law, you are too kind."
Ji Xin watched his mother's attention shift and slowly backed away.
But he didn't expect his arm to be grabbed by someone, and a gnashing voice came from behind him, "Where do you want to run to?"
Su Hongping twisted his ear, dragged him home, and turned back to Lin Jingshu and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. My boy is very naughty. He just brought a long worm home and scared his sister to tears."
Lin Jingshu's eyes widened. This kid was so brave.
She had never played with any other animals except cats and dogs in her life, let alone something slippery like a worm.
Gu Chengze was not surprised. Ji Xin had been tough since he was young and liked to play with anything new. He once took the children from the family compound to the mountains and was almost trapped by a rainstorm.
Su Hongping's man is Ji Pingshan, who is also the head of the group and has a good relationship with Gu Chengze.
Sometimes Gu Chengze and Lin Shan often came to the Ji family for meals and were very familiar with the Ji family.
Therefore, when filing the marriage report, Gu Chengze asked someone to keep an eye on this house and buy it in advance. After all, having a good neighbor on the island would make things much easier.
They were still busy cooking. After saying goodbye to the two families, Lin Jingshu and Gu Chengze carried their things home.
Su Hongping turned around and picked up the thrown willow branches.
In the evening, Ji Xin was rewarded with a meal of stir-fried meat with bamboo shoots, as expected.
His eyes were red and he lay on the bench, not daring to move. The more he thought about it, the more embarrassed he felt. He cried so loudly that Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu must have heard it. He was too embarrassed to go out and see people.
When a child is eleven or twelve years old, he should be very concerned about his reputation. If it was something else, Su Hongping would just give him a lecture.
But he kept making the same mistake again and again, and he wouldn't learn his lesson unless he was punished.
"Brother, don't cry. I'll give you some candy."
My sister Ji Nian stuffed a piece of candy into his mouth, and the sweet taste spread in his mouth instantly.
Ji Xin forgot about the embarrassing thing for a moment and held his face happily.
His mother had always been strict about their candy, only allowing them three pieces a week and even putting the candy jar on top of the wardrobe, so he couldn't reach it even if he stood on a stool.
Ji Xin didn't expect that he could get candy after being beaten. Suddenly, he felt that it was not unacceptable.
Between face and sugar, face is not worth mentioning.
When Ji Pingshan came back, he saw his son with tears still on his face, lying on a stool and happily blowing candy.
I suddenly felt like hitting him, why does he still look like he deserves a beating?
"I'm back, wash your hands and eat quickly."
Su Hongping served the food, and Ji Pingshan hurriedly washed his hands and helped serve.
When Ji Xin saw his mother come in, he felt a little awkward.
Su Hongping didn't even look at him. She picked up some scrambled eggs from her daughter's bowl with her chopsticks and said, "Nian Nian, eat as much as you can. Let's finish it all. The disobedient child won't get any eggs."
Nian Nian held the small bowl and said sweetly, "Thank you, Mom."
Ji Xin loves eating eggs the most. When he heard this, he got anxious and quickly got up and sat down.
Su Hongping didn't use much strength when she hit him, just to look intimidating. In fact, apart from the initial pain, there was no harm at all.
Ji Xin just wanted to act pitiful so that his parents would feel sorry for him and forgive him this time.
"I want to eat eggs too." Ji Xin pouted.
Ji Pingshan put some pickles into his bowl with his chopsticks and said, "Eat more pickles to grow taller."
Ji Xin cried out, "Dad is lying to me."
He is not a three-year-old child. Who can grow taller by eating pickles?
Ji Pingshan chuckled, then said with a straight face, "Who's lying to a kid? When I was little, I ate pickles every day, and I still grew to be 1.8 meters tall."
Ji Xin had tears hanging on his eyelashes, and he looked very pitiful, neither crying nor not crying, so he didn't believe what his father said.
He ate his rice with pickles, and the more he thought about it, the more regretful he became. He silently swore in his heart that he would never play with worms again.
In fact, he didn't play on his own initiative. All his friends were playing. If he didn't play, no one would play with him.
He doesn't want to be a bad kid with no friends.
But mom and dad were right. He was just lucky to have encountered a non-venomous longworm. If he had encountered a poisonous one, he would never see his family again.
He never played it again.
Just as I was thinking about it, a pair of greasy scrambled eggs appeared in front of me.
He raised his head and met his mother's caring gaze.
Su Hongping didn't want to hit him either. If she hit him, the pain would be felt by herself. But this kid kept doing it again and again, and he wouldn't learn his lesson unless she hit him.
"Don't do that again, you hear me?"
Ji Xin chewed the egg and nodded repeatedly, saying incoherently, "I heard it, Mom."
Nian Nian saw her parents picking up food for her brother, so she also picked up food tremblingly.
"Brother, eat meat."
Ji Xin was very touched. His sister was so well behaved. He was so mean that he even scared her with a long insect.
If it happened again, I would rather not play with that group of people than scare my sister.
Ji Pingshan and Su Hongping smiled at each other.
It's a warm and cozy place here, and the same situation is happening at the Gu family just across the wall.
