No matter how you look at it, Su Ting had been a corporate slave for several years in her previous life. She had to deal with her boss and face clients, so her mental strength was still very strong.

And even though she had two flaws, they were not a big deal and not to the point where she couldn't explain it, so she quickly adjusted herself and continued, "I also think calling me mom is intimate."

Cheng Xiaoman said with a smile: "Then let's shout like this from now on."

Su Ting looked shy, but actually she was relieved and replied, "Okay."

"Xiao Yan said you went to the city to play today?"

"Well, a few days ago, the Tianjun District Primary School organized a midterm exam. He... Dongchuan and I thought he did well in the exam and had been working very hard recently, so we decided to take him to the city and buy him a toy as a reward."

"Military District Primary School Entrance Examination? Xiaoyan is in primary school?"

Su Ting was stunned again and looked up at He Dongchuan.

He Dongchuan said: "I haven't had time to tell my parents yet."

From his tone, Su Ting guessed that the original body probably didn't know what he hadn't told his parents. She simply explained the situation to Cheng Xiaoman on the other end of the phone and informed her of He Yan's score.

After hearing this, Cheng Xiaoman was delighted and said, "Xiao Yan did well in the exam."

"Xiao Yan is very smart."

There is no grandmother who doesn't like to hear people praise her child for being smart. Cheng Xiaoman was in a good mood and said "good" three times in a row. She then asked, "Will Xiaoyan go straight to the second grade next semester, or will he repeat the grade and study for another year?"

Su Ting replied: "Dongchuan originally planned to let him repeat the grade, but he wanted to go straight to the next grade. I made an agreement with him that I would take time to help him with his lessons during this period and we would see after the final exam."

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone. Cheng Xiaoman said with emotion: "Tingting, you are a good child. Mom was right about you."

She persuaded He Dongchuan to marry Su Ting. Of course, she did so out of consideration for her reputation, but more importantly, she hoped to find someone trustworthy to take care of He Yan.

Although she didn't know Su Ting well, she and Su's mother had been close friends for many years and trusted her character, thinking that the children she raised would not be bad. During the time when she went back to her hometown to visit her relatives, Su Ting's eyes showed admiration when she looked at He Dongchuan, and her personality was indeed not bad.

And her admiration was a plus point for Cheng Xiaoman. She hoped that Su Ting would love He Yan as well and be nice to He Yan for He Dongchuan's sake.

There is nothing wrong with Cheng Xiaoman's idea. When her original self loved He Dongchuan, she was indeed good to He Yan. It's just that this love eventually turned into hatred, and loving someone and affecting everyone else turned into hating everyone else.

After Su Ting and Cheng Xiaoman finished their conversation, the phone was handed over to He Dongchuan again. However, the mother and son said very little, and the phone was hung up in less than three minutes.

When it came time to pay, Su Ting realized that talking less was a good thing. Making phone calls these days is really too expensive, costing one dollar per minute!

The call lasted seventeen minutes, and the cost was enough to pay a month's salary for an apprentice in a state-owned factory!

…

It was lunch time when they came out of the post office. The three of them didn’t go too far and went into a century-old shop selling meat dumplings along the street.

Meat wontons are also known as Taiping wontons. The wonton skin is made by hand with lean meat and sweet potato flour, and then wrapped with fillings. It looks like wontons, but the skin is thinner. After cooking, it becomes transparent like jade and tastes softer and chewier.

The store sells not only meat-filled bird's nests, but also fish balls and bird's nest shreds. The fish balls are made with fish meat beaten into skin and filled with meat filling, while the bird's nest shreds are made with meat-filled bird's nest skin and have a very smooth texture.

They ordered four ounces of each.

He Dongchuan wanted to order half a catty of each dish, but Su Ting stopped him. She couldn't eat that much and was afraid of wasting it. But He Dongchuan's standard for measuring appetite was different from hers. He felt that half a catty was not much. After much discussion, each dish was only one or two less.

Su Ting: ...Okay, he will take care of the rest anyway.

Although there were many people queuing in the restaurant, the food was served quickly. Three large bowls were brought in soon, along with small bowls, chopsticks and a soup spoon.

He Dongchuan picked up the spoon and first served a bowl of meat dumplings to Su Ting and He Yan respectively.

I have to say that he did a really good job in this regard. Even in her previous life, few of the husbands or boyfriends of Su Ting's friends knew to serve a bowl of soup to their wives/girlfriends first after the soup was served.

Su Ting thought about it and drank some soup first.

The soup base is salty and fresh, but it's ok.

Eating meat dumplings again, the texture is a bit like wontons, but not quite the same. It is hard to say which one tastes better. Food is not comparable to other things. The same thing made by different people will be different and cannot be compared.

But the taste was indeed good, and Su Ting finished a bowl without realizing it.

Su Ting looked up at the father and son opposite her. Needless to say, He Dongchuan had come to eat here before, and if he didn't like it, he wouldn't have brought them here this time.

He Yan ate slowly, leaving most of the bowl of meat swallows, but it was not because he didn't like it, but because he thought the meat swallows tasted very novel, and he had to chew for a long time after eating each one. Seeing Su Ting looking at him, he deliberately increased the intensity of his chewing: "Mom, this is so fun to eat!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his father gave him a slap on the head: "Eat your meal well and don't do anything weird."

He Yan's face froze, he uttered "Oh" heavily, and chewed slower.

After eating and drinking their fill, they prepared to leave. However, on their way back, they passed by a shop selling painted sugar. The dragons, horses, monkeys and other animals painted with sugar on sticks on the table instantly attracted He Yan's attention, and he could not move.

Seeing that he really liked it and it was still early, Su Ting discussed it with He Dongchuan and took him over to queue.

After waiting in line for more than half an hour, it was finally He Yan's turn. Looking at the lifelike animals on the table, he waved his hand and chose all of them.

The old man selling painted candies was stunned for a moment and asked, "This doesn't keep well, it's best to eat it all today. Are you sure you want all of it?"

Without waiting for He Yan to answer, He Dongchuan said, "You can only choose one."

In fact, He Yan had been prepared for this. He was just a kid who always liked to test the bottom line of adults, so he sighed and made a quick choice: "Then I want the dragon."

"What else do you want?" Su Ting asked.

He Yan looked up in confusion: "Ah?"

"I'll buy one too, and you can choose another pattern." Su Ting said and looked at He Dongchuan, "Do you want one?"

He Dongchuan shook his head: "I don't need it."

Although his father didn't want it, He Yan was very happy to have one more pattern to choose from. He said loudly, "Then I want the big tiger!"

"Okay! A dragon and a tiger." The old man scooped a spoonful of soup from the pot and started drawing on the board.

He has been drawing sugar figures for decades, and animals are what he draws most often. He works very quickly and finished the dragon in just a few minutes. He then handed it to He Yan.

He Yan took the skewer, raised his head and chest and made a cloud-like shape with the sugar dragon, waving his arms and shouting, "Fly, fly!"

He was having a lot of fun, but the parents with their children passing by had a headache because the children were always interested in these strange things and kept crying and asking for candy figures to be made.

Some people even asked Su Ting about the price.

After hearing this, Su Ting glanced at the boss, wondering why he was asking her when he was right in front of her, but she also quoted a price to him.

After hearing the price, some of the parents who were watching decided to buy one for their children, while others thought it was too expensive and dragged their crying children away.

While they were arguing, the tiger was ready.

Su Ting took the skewers from the boss, and ran towards He Yan with them, deliberately making tiger roar sounds.

He Yan suddenly became excited, holding the dragon and flying towards the tiger held by Su Ting. When he got close to it, he asked, "What does the dragon roar?"

This really touched Su Ting's blind spot. She only knew the dragon's chant, but she didn't know exactly how to chant. She said uncertainly, "You can play freely?"

After hearing this, He Yan raised the dragon in his hand and rushed over while roaring.

Su Ting yelled back and touched the dragon's tail with the tiger's head and said, "I ate your dragon's tail. Now, you have to give me a bite of it."

"Is it still possible?" He Yan was dumbfounded.

"Of course, otherwise how can we tell who wins and who loses?" Su Ting calmly fooled the kid, "If my tiger head touches the part below your dragon head, you have to give me a bite of your candy. If your dragon head touches the part below the tiger head, you have to give me a bite of mine. Whoever has more candy left in the end wins."

He Yan pondered for a moment and decided to accept Su Ting's suggestion. He put the dragon's tail to her mouth and said, "Only a small bite is allowed."

Su Ting agreed while taking a big bite of the dragon's tail.

"You lied!" He Yan shouted, "You said you would take a small bite!"

"It's just a small mouthful. Who told me to have a big mouth?" Su Ting said calmly, "If you're unhappy, just fight with me."

He Yan raised the candy cane and said, "Go!"

So all the way to the bus stop, the mother and son sometimes rushed against each other, and sometimes stopped and asked each other to take a bite of my dragon and I would take a big bite of your tiger.

It's just...very childish.

He Dongchuan even had the illusion that he was not out playing with his wife and children today, but that he was a father taking his son and daughter out to play.

It must be an illusion.

…

On the way back, the sea was windy and rough, and the ferry was no longer as smooth as it was in the morning. He Yan was shaken a little dizzy and lay listlessly in He Dongchuan's arms.

Although he was not shaken to the point of vomiting, He Dongchuan carried him back home after getting off the boat. He was unable to recover immediately after arriving home and fell asleep the moment he hit the bed. He was not woken up until dinner time that night.

After eating and drinking, He Yan became full of energy again. He took the unpacked toy car and went out.

He's going to show off his new toys!

After arriving at the playground, He Yan went straight to find his deskmate Zhang Xiaokai.

Zhang Xiaokai is seven years old this year. He is older than He Yan, but looks about the same height as him. He is a little dark and thin, but his hair is quite thick. He just cut it into a buzz cut recently, which is a bit prickly to the touch.

When He Yan found Zhang Xiaokai, he was lying on the ground watching people play marbles.

He had lost all his marbles, and because he did not do well on his midterm exam, his mother refused to give him pocket money, so now he could only watch others play.

Zhang Xiaokai was so engrossed in watching that his shoulder was suddenly patted. He almost jumped up and asked "Who is it?" while turning his head. When he saw the person behind him, the irritation on his face instantly turned into joy: "You're back? What's this?" He was asking the big guy in He Yan's arms.

He Yan grabbed the toy with both hands, twitched his chin and said, "It's a toy car!"

Not only Zhang Xiaokai, but everyone who was watching the marble game was attracted by the toy car in his hand, and they looked at He Yan with envy: "What a big toy car!"

Someone else asked: "Where did you get such a big toy car?"

"I bought it. My parents bought it for me!" He Yan showed off and said to Zhang Xiaokai, "Let me tell you, this is a military truck. It's the big truck that my father and his troops drive. You know? Also, the wheels of this truck can move. Look," he slid the toy car in his hand, "but if we want it to run, we have to find a smooth place."

Zhang Xiaokai looked around and pointed to the empty space at the door: "It's flatter there."

"Then let's go there." He Yan nodded and took Zhang Xiaokai to the open space.

Although He Yan did not greet others, many children followed him to the open space. A group of people walked over in a mighty manner, found a flat but slightly sloping place to put down their toy cars, and then reached out to push them forward.

The toy car slid down slowly but steadily.

The children watching around exclaimed.

In fact, there is more than one toy car in the compound, and this is not the only toy car with sliding wheels, but it is the only toy car that is this big, this cool, and can slide.

Next, He Yan showed everyone other details, such as the car doors that could be opened, the driver sitting in the driver's seat, and the car fight in the back.

The more people looked at it, the more they couldn't let it go, and the more they envied He Yan.

Someone couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Yan, why did your parents buy you a toy car?"

This question touched everyone's heart, and they all looked towards He Yan. They also wanted a toy car.

He Yan held up the toy car and answered, "Because I did well on the midterm exam, and my mom said I worked hard, so she wanted to reward me."

Everyone reacted differently after hearing this. Those with good grades secretly kept his words in mind and planned to ask their parents for rewards when they returned home. Those with poor grades sighed and said that they had done so poorly in the exam, let alone rewards, they would be fine if they didn't get beaten. As for those who did not go to school, they clenched their fists, they also wanted to go to school for the rewards!

Only Zhang Xiaokai looked confused. Did He Yan do well in the exam?

His gaze slowly moved from He Yan's face to the toy in his hand.

He Yan ranked third from the bottom in the exam, but his parents still rewarded him with a toy army truck, so it shouldn't be too much for him to ask them for a toy car, right?

That night, the Zhang family heard Ms. Huang's roar: "You ranked sixth from the bottom out of 52 people in the class and you still want a reward?! Do you want a meal of bamboo shoots and fried pork?"

Zhang Xiaokai: “…Woo woo woo!”

…

After sending the manuscript, Su Ting was not in a hurry to draw a new comic strip. Firstly, she had no inspiration at the moment, and secondly, she wanted to see the feedback from "Comic Book" before deciding what to draw next.

Without having to concentrate on painting, Su Ting suddenly became free and started going to the playground whenever she had time.

That day, as soon as she sat down, someone came over. When she looked up, she saw it was Zhang Xiaokai's mother, Huang Wenxia, ​​so she smiled and greeted her.

Huang Wenxia smiled at Su Ting, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then asked, "I heard that you went to the city yesterday?"

There are no secrets in the family compound. Su Ting is used to this, so she was not surprised. She smiled and replied, "I went there once."

"I heard that you also bought a toy car for He Yan?"

“Yes, I bought it.”

"I heard that you bought this toy car for He Yan as a reward for his good performance in the midterm exam?"

“That’s right.”

Huang Wenxia was speechless for a long time after hearing this. After a long pause, she asked in great confusion: "Do you really think He Yan did well in the exam this time?"

Su Ting turned her head and asked, "Sister Huang, what do you mean?"

"Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that you're bad. I just think that as parents, we should set higher standards for our children. If a child ranks in the top ten in the class, it's fine to reward him. But if he ranks last, you should still reward him..."

Huang Wenxia didn't continue speaking, but she felt that Su Ting should understand what she meant.

Actually, she doesn't like to meddle in other people's business, but who made her son have such a good relationship with He Yan? Last night, he cried in front of her, saying that He Yan ranked third from the bottom in the exam and everyone else gave him rewards, but he ranked sixth from the bottom and she still wanted to beat him. He must not be her biological son! He also said that he wanted to be He Yan's parents' son.

Huang Wenxia was so angry that she didn't sleep well all night. Today, she happened to see Su Ting at the amusement park and asked her about it. She didn't believe it. With He Yan's grades, could they, as a couple, still reward him?

That is exactly what happened.

Huang Wenxia did not reflect on his son too harsh and joked, and he was the sixth!

She felt that the problem was with Su Ting and her husband. Their expectations for their children were too low! This was not raising a child, this was clearly raising an ancestor!

Su Ting did understand. If someone else had said this to her, she would definitely be unhappy. But she knew Huang Wenxia and knew she had no bad intentions, so she explained, "Xiao Yan's ranking in the midterm exam was indeed not very good, and he was at the bottom of the class, but he didn't go to elementary school in his hometown. He has achieved this result after studying for a month, and his father and I are already very satisfied."

Huang Wenxia was stunned: "He never went to primary school? Then how come he... No, why don't you send him to school in the second half of the year?"

"Xiao Yan was attending a seedling raising class in his hometown. He suddenly stopped going to class and his father was afraid that he would not be able to adapt, so he sent him to primary school, hoping that he could make more friends and adapt to life on the island as soon as possible." Su Tingqian smiled and said, "We had originally prepared for him to rank last in the exam, but we didn't expect this child to do well and get a good score, so we gave him a reward."

Huang Wenxia understood. Although He Yan and her son both ranked last in the midterm exam, they ranked last because they had studied for a short time, while her son ranked last because he was stupid!

He Yan deserves to be rewarded for being last in the exam, but her son wants a reward for being last in the exam?

You’re dreaming!

So that night, Huang Wenxia gave her son the bamboo shoots fried with meat that she had not given up the day before, and threatened him: "If you dare not do your homework and go out to have fun again, I will beat you up every time I see you!"

Yang Xiaokai cried: ...I really did pick it up!

…

He Yan's life isn't much better now, so Su Ting prepares to give him extra lessons when she has some free time.

Tutoring is not difficult for Su Ting. Although she has never been a teacher, she has been a student for more than ten years. Even if she has been working for many years, she can recall most of it and know what she should do.

She first asked He Yan to borrow the Chinese and math textbooks from last semester from his classmate, Zhang Xiaokai. Then she simply flipped through them and took out the Chinese textbook and asked He Yan to read from the first page.

This reading revealed a problem.

He Yan also learned something in the seedling class. He knew the saying “Who knows that every grain of rice on the plate is the result of hard work” and memorized the saying “The moon shines brightly in front of my bed, and it looks like frost on the ground”.

Simply put, the teachers in the nursery class had taught them to read or memorize those famous and catchy Tang Dynasty poems, but they did not teach them any of the consonants and rhymes in the first lesson for elementary school students.

The initials and finals are the basis for primary school students to recognize words. As long as they learn this well, they can read unfamiliar words by giving the pinyin. The texts in the first and second grades of primary school all have pinyin.

But He Yan doesn't have this foundation.

This was not taught in the nursery class, and he was a transfer student in a military primary school. It was impossible for the teacher to waste everyone's time reviewing the previous semester's lessons for him.

He was young and had no idea what was going on. He just listened to whatever the teacher said and never thought about catching up on what he had missed learning the previous semester.

This also resulted in He Yan being unable to read a new text by looking at the pinyin like other students after opening it. This also resulted in him having to spend more time to read through the text, and he often only understood part of it during class. Compared to others, it can be said that he was getting half the result with twice the effort.

Compared with Chinese, mathematics was much easier for He Yan. He had learned numbers within fifty in the seedling class, and first-grade mathematics was basically addition and subtraction. The difficulty increased at most from adding single-digit numbers to adding tens-digit numbers. He did not find it difficult to learn.

The main reason why he failed the exam was that his Chinese was too poor and he did not recognize many of the words in the test questions.

If you can't even understand the questions, how can you solve them?

We still have to start with the vowels and rhymes.

After analyzing He Yan's problem, Su Ting opened the textbook and began to teach He Yan the rhyme mothers.

Because He Yan was not a freshman, Su Ting did not teach him step by step. While teaching him to read, she also taught him the tones and showed him how to spell the text he was learning.

If it was a beginner or a very young child, Su Ting's teaching method might confuse the person, but He Yan had been helped once before and had a smart mind, so he could basically absorb what she taught.

Generally speaking, Su Ting is a pretty happy teacher. It would be even better if He Yan didn't always use Duan Xiaoying's teaching as a standard.

For example, now, Su Ting corrected herself and said: "ping ping! ping guo! It's a back nasal sound, not a front nasal sound!"

"But our teacher is studying pink fruit." He Yan said aggrievedly.

"Is your teacher right, or am I right?" Su Ting frowned, and then said, "No, you said apples were normal before, didn't you? How come apples have become pin fruits now?"

"But, but this is what the teacher said."

"That means your teacher is not good enough."

He Yan continued to scratch his head: "But, but she is a teacher."

Does it mean that teachers’ pronunciation must be standard?

Her junior high school history teacher was extremely knowledgeable, having been born in the 1950s. She was familiar with every stage of history after the founding of the People's Republic of China. She herself was highly educated, being one of the first batch of college students after the Great Movement, but she still could not speak Mandarin well and had a strong local accent.

Although this group of students were not as good as others in terms of academics, they had all been exposed to Mandarin since childhood and had basically passed the Mandarin certificate exam in university. She even got a top score, which was enough for her to teach Chinese in primary school.

Therefore, she did not dare to be arrogant in other aspects, but in terms of standard Mandarin, she really did not think that she would lose to Duan Xiaoying.

More importantly, the word "ping" is a velar nasal sound!

Su Ting was so angry that she didn't want to continue arguing with He Yan, the stubborn boy, so she had to seek help from outside.

After listening to Su Ting's words, the foreign aid first confirmed that the word "ping" was a nasal sound, and then interrupted He Yan's question and asked, "Is what the teacher taught necessarily correct?"

He Yanchi asked doubtfully: "What the teacher taught...could it be wrong?"

"Everyone makes mistakes. Since teachers are also human, why can't they make mistakes? If nothing else, at least your teacher mispronounced this word."

He Yan scratched his head, thinking about what his father said, and said, "Okay."

"Any other questions?"

"No more."

Su Ting breathed a sigh of relief, finally she understood.

After this experience, when He Yan had another objection, Su Ting would directly call for He Dongchuan. After two times, she felt that it was troublesome to call him into the room, so she simply let him watch while giving He Yan extra lessons.

But as she watched, Su Ting felt unbalanced.

That's not right. He has nothing to do at night. He Yan is still his son. Why should she work so hard to give the child extra lessons while he just watches leisurely?

In order to sacrifice herself and benefit others, Su Ting decided to drag He Dongchuan into the matter, and they would take turns tutoring He Yan every day.

He Dongchuan didn't refuse, since he had nothing to do anyway, but He Yan suffered because his father was too fierce in class!

Although He Dongchuan didn't curse, his expression was particularly serious and his eyes were particularly sharp, looking ferocious. And if He Yan didn't remember what he said, he would frown and give a death stare.

After experiencing the fear of being dominated by his father, He Yan realized how gentle Su Ting was when teaching.

When Su Ting was lecturing, He Yan dared to raise objections, but when it was He Dongchuan's turn, he became silent, daring not to say anything or ask anything, and just asked his father to ignore his existence.

Of course it is impossible to ignore him, after all, there is only one student.

Therefore, in order to escape from this miserable life, He Yan could only work harder and harder to finish his lessons as soon as possible, sob.

…

Because of the cram school, He Yan's time for playing was drastically reduced.

There was no other way. He had to finish his homework after school at 5 o'clock. The homework assigned by the teacher was not difficult, but the amount was large. For Chinese, it usually started with one page of words, and for math, two or three pages of questions were considered small. He basically had dinner after finishing his homework.

He starts tutoring after dinner, which isn’t long, only half an hour every day. But his parents also give him homework, which isn’t much and can also be finished in half an hour.

But usually it is almost eight o'clock at this time. The children who were urged to go home by their parents have already gone home to take a shower and go to bed, and those who were not urged so urgently are also about to go home to take a shower and go to bed. If he goes out at this time and cannot find a playmate, he can only take a shower and go to bed.

He Yan hadn't gone out to play for a whole week, and he felt like he was going to go mad.

So after breakfast on Sunday morning, He Yan said hello to Su Ting and went out with his toy truck.

But he arrived too early. There were only five or six children in the playground who were playing house, and among them there was only one boy, a three-year-old kid.

Children aged five or six already have gender awareness. They may not understand the physical differences between boys and girls, but they are definitely clear about the differences in personality.

Boys are bold and are usually interested in playing games such as filming, rolling rings, and playing marbles. Girls are relatively quiet and like skipping ropes, tumbling flowers, and playing house. This difference may not cover all children, but in most cases, boys and girls cannot play together.

When He Yan arrived on the island, his father sent him to a military primary school. He met Zhang Xiaokai on the first day of school and followed him around, playing with boys. So before he even entered the playground, he became paralyzed when he saw the group of little girls. He started running, then walked, then moved, and finally stopped.

The girls were quite happy to see him, because they were playing house without a father, so they discussed it and the leading girl came over and asked, "Do you want to play with us?"

He Yan hugged the toy car tightly in his arms and was about to shake his head to refuse, when he heard the girl in front of him continue to ask: "How about you play the role of the father?"

Huh?

Being a dad?

It seems... not bad.

…

He Yan had never played house before, but after playing it now, he felt that girls’ games were really complicated!

They started in the morning, with mom, dad, sister and brother having breakfast together. After breakfast, mom washed the dishes and sent dad out to work.

Then He Yan took his toys to the side and pushed them here and there. Well, his job was a truck driver.

The mother was at home receiving guests, including the child's grandmother, uncles and aunts. The guests came and went in waves, and then it was noon, and he drove the truck home for dinner.

After dinner, it was still mom who washed the dishes. He Yan was very confused. Why was it always mom who washed the dishes?

After eating, my mother went out. She was going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy soy sauce. Then waves of neighbors came to visit us. Yes, except for my father, mother, sister and brother, everyone else was a repeat actor.

By the time the neighbors came back, it was already dark. Mom continued to cook. The bowl was made of leaves, the rice was made of sand, and she broke off two branches to make chopsticks. Then the meal was ready.

After dinner, it's time to go to bed.

The beds were benches next to the playground. My sister and brother slept on one chair, and my parents slept on another.

My older sister and younger brother sleep on their own heads, while my mom and dad hold me while I sleep.

"!!!"

He Yan was shocked: "Why do mom and dad want to hold me while I sleep?"

Others said as a matter of course: "Mom and Dad just hold their children when they sleep."

He Yan didn't believe it and shouted, "You are lying! My parents didn't hold me when I slept!"

Zhao Lingling, who played the role of the mother, asked: "How come you didn't know that your father and mother didn't hold you when you slept? Did you see it?"

He Yan puffed out his chest and said, "Of course I saw it, my dad slept with me! So I want to sleep with my brother!" He didn't want to sleep in the arms of a girl!

Zhao Lingling didn't believe it: "You are lying! My dad and mom always hold me in their arms when they sleep!"

The little girl who played the role of the older sister said: "My dad and mom also sleep together."

Others nodded one after another, even the little boy who played the younger brother said, "Dad and Mom sleep together, and my brother and I sleep together."

"Yes, that's right!"

When Yu Hongzhi came over with her daughter, she saw a group of children arguing. She casually asked what was going on, and the children started talking at once.

Originally, Yu Hongzhi was just asking casually and had no intention of mediating between them. However, after hearing the whole story, she became interested and asked with a smile, "Xiao Yan, do you really sleep in the same room with your dad at night?"

He Yan still remembered the words Su Ting had used to scare him before. He held the toy car and looked at Yu Hongzhi warily, pursing his lips and saying nothing.

But the other kids had already answered for him: “Yes, that’s what he just said.”

Yu Hongzhi's smile deepened: "Do you know why your father sleeps with you at night instead of sleeping in the same room with your mother?"

He Yan still remained silent, and the other children rushed to ask: "Why?"

"Because," Yu Hongzhi deliberately slowed down her speech until He Yan looked to the side, then she raised the corners of her lips and said, "Your father and mother don't have a good relationship, and they are getting divorced."

One child exclaimed: "Divorce?"

Some children also asked: "What is divorce?"

"Divorce means that his parents are going to separate. One of them will leave the home and no longer want him." Yu Hongzhi answered the question while keeping her eyes on He Yan.

When He Yan heard this, he couldn't help but tear up. He raised his toy car and wanted to hit Yu Hongzhi, but before he used force, he remembered that the toy car was bought for him by his parents, so he withdrew his hand and held the toy car in his arms. He looked up and glared at Yu Hongzhi fiercely and said, "You are a bad person, I don't believe you!"

After saying that, He Yan turned around and left. He felt that he should not have come here today.

But he hadn't taken two steps when he heard Yu Hongzhi's voice behind him: "If you don't believe me, go back and ask your parents if couples who have a good relationship sleep together. Do they have trouble sleeping separately? Haha."

He Yan gradually exerted strength in holding the toy car. After an unknown amount of time, he lowered his head and ran with all his might.
