The next morning, He Yan was still woken up by his father.

He was very sleepy and tired, and didn't want to get up. But He Dongchuan was not so easy to talk to. He agreed to work for a week and not a day less. His sarcasm stimulated He Yan and he began to arrange today's affairs.

The housework was still the same, but today there was a new job at the seafood supply station, so He Dongchuan asked him to brush his teeth and wash his face, then go to the canteen to buy breakfast, get milk after 6:30, and go to the seafood supply station at 7:00. If he had time in between, he could sweep the floor, and if he didn't have time, he could wait until he got off work to sweep.

He Yan's eyes lit up when he heard this: "There are so many things to do, what should I do if I can't finish them?"

"How can you not finish it? Didn't you finish it yesterday? Didn't you sleep for more than an hour at noon?" At this moment, He Dongchuan had the temperament of Huang Shiren. "If you are worried that you can't finish it, then move faster. If you still can't finish it, don't sleep at noon. If you don't want to study, you have to do these things when you come back."

"Then..." I want to study?

Before He Yan could even ask, his father interrupted him: "Even if you change your mind and want to go back to school, you still have to finish this week. A man should keep his word. Oh, the same goes for little men."

He Yan, who considers himself a little man: "..."

He is very regretful now. Why did he bring trouble upon himself?

He Yan was determined not to be looked down upon by his father, so even though he wanted to strike, he still gritted his teeth, got up, washed his face and brushed his teeth, and went to the cafeteria to buy breakfast.

Although He Yan often went to the cafeteria to buy meals during the summer vacation, after school started, Su Ting set an alarm clock out of consideration for his classes. She bought breakfast herself and also brought back the milk.

Therefore, He Yan, who appeared in the cafeteria for two consecutive days, attracted the attention of the lady at the window. When she served him noodles, she asked, "Why are you the one who buys breakfast these two days? Where is your mother?"

"Mom is sleeping." He Yan said.

The lady at the window asked again, "Why did you get up so early?" The military primary school starts morning reading at 7:20, and it is only 6:20 now.

Because my dad woke me up!

He Yan sighed but said nothing. The lady at the window suddenly thought about it and looked at him with a look of pity: "If you are not having a good time at home, tell your father."

He Yan didn't understand the hint in her words and could only take it literally. He thought to himself that his father was a bad guy who woke him up so early. What was the point in talking to him?

But he didn't say this out loud. He just said, "I understand." He thanked the lady at the window and left with the net bag.

Watching his thin figure walk out of the cafeteria, the lady at the window couldn't help but sigh: "Children with mothers and those without mothers are just different."

Although Su Ting's reputation is much better than before and no one thinks she is a vicious stepmother anymore, she is also famous for being lazy.

When He Jia first started cooking, everyone thought that her heart was entirely devoted to her man, so she wouldn't cook when her man was not at home.

Later I found out that it was He Dongchuan who cooked in the evening. Su Ting didn't know how to cook at all, so when her husband was not around, she and He Yan always ate in the cafeteria.

When the news first came out, the military wives in the compound didn't believe it. They felt that He Dongchuan was not bad in terms of conditions, so why did he want to marry such a lazy and ignorant woman?

Some people even went to their house while they were cooking to borrow something to find out what was going on.

After the investigation, everyone had to believe that the cook in their family was really He Dongchuan, and Su Ting really couldn't cook.

No wonder she always takes her stepson to the cafeteria to eat when her man is not at home. This is when she is more diligent. When she feels lazy, she doesn't want to go out at all and asks He Yan to get the food and take it home to eat.

That's what summer vacation was like.

It has become even worse recently. The child has already started school, but he still doesn't let him get a good night's sleep. He makes him get up early every day to buy lunch, while he himself sleeps soundly at home.

Because they are not my own children, I just don’t feel sorry for them.

He Yan didn't know that the window lady had thought so much. After entering the family compound with his breakfast, he turned to the Women's Federation office to get milk.

Seeing that he was the one coming to get the milk again, Jiang Aihong asked, "Why didn't your mother come?"

"Mom is still sleeping."

Jiang Aihong had a good relationship with Su Ting, so unlike the window lady, she didn't show any interest in him. She smiled and asked, "So that's why you came?"

"Yes." He Yan nodded.

"So good." Jiang Aihong praised and handed the milk to He Yan.

He Yan returned home with milk and breakfast. Su Ting had also woken up and was washing up in the bathroom. She came out when she heard the voices and asked while brushing her teeth, "Are you back?"

He Yan nodded: "I bought breakfast and came back!"

Su Ting responded with a "OK" and went back to the bathroom to continue brushing her teeth. She didn't come out again until she was done.

Breakfast was still the same. Su Ting poured out the milk and gave He Yan a cup. She took a bite of the bun and asked, "Do you want me to take you to the seafood supply station later?"

Thinking that he had to go to work soon, He Yan, who was eating with relish, suddenly drooped his shoulders.

Seeing him hanging his head and looking depressed, Su Ting raised the corners of her lips slightly: "Do you want it?"

"Is it okay?"

In fact, He Yan knew where the seafood supply station was. After all, he passed by it every day on his way to school, but he had never worked there before and was a little scared.

"Of course, it's settled then. I'll take you there after dinner."

After breakfast, He Yan washed the lunch box, while Su Ting went into the room, reached out and touched Man Man's diaper, which felt a little wet, so she got some water and changed her into a clean one.

After changing the diaper and He Yan finished washing the lunch box, Su Ting looked up and saw that it was almost seven o'clock, so she didn't delay any longer and went out with He Yan.

Seven o'clock is the busiest time at the seafood supply station. A long queue formed in front of Li Guifang's stall, all of whom had bought fish and were waiting to have them slaughtered.

Seeing Su Ting and He Yan coming over, she raised her head and greeted them: "Are you here?"

He looked around, then at the military wife in front of him, raised his head and asked, "Why don't you go sit in the back for a while, I'll come talk to you after I'm done with my work?"

"No, I just sent Xiaoyan here. Manman is still at home. I have to go back quickly." Su Ting shook her head and said to He Yan, "In the next few days, you can work with Aunt Li, okay?"

He Yan watched as Li Guifang quickly cut a slit in the fish belly and then took out the fish intestines and gallbladder. He really wanted to shake his head and say no.

But thinking of his father's words, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and said reluctantly, "Okay."

Su Ting looked at Li Guifang again: "Then I'll hand Xiao Yan over to you?"

"Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of him." Li Guifang said with a smile, handing the processed sea fish to the military wife in the front.

After getting the fish, the other party did not leave immediately. He looked at Su Ting's back and asked, "Comrade Su, why did you send He Yan here? Doesn't he have to go to school?"

The wives of soldiers queuing behind pricked up their ears when they heard this.

Li Guifang was afraid of rumors spreading about Su Ting, so she glanced at He Yan who was standing next to her and said, "Didn't a girl in his class drop out a while ago? They are a bunch of kids who don't know anything, and they think dropping out is a good thing. He Yan also had the idea, so Su Ting and her husband asked for leave for him and asked him to come to my place to work for a few days and experience life."

After working all day yesterday, He Yan had already vaguely realized that dropping out of school was not a good thing, but he was so tired that he had no time to think about it. It was not until he heard Li Guifang's words that he realized how naive he was and immediately lowered his head in shame.

The military wives all understood.

In fact, people drop out of primary school in the military area every year. The college entrance examination has been suspended for so many years. No matter how many books the educated youths read, they can only go to the countryside to live a life of facing the loess and back to the sky. As a result, many people feel that studying is useless and it is better to go home early to help. Work.

It was fine in grades one to three, but by grades four and five, there were always a few fewer students in the class at the beginning of each school year, and the teachers were no longer surprised.

But Teacher He has always taught lower grades after joining the army. Chen Juanjuan was the first student she taught to drop out of school, and she was a responsible person. In order to allow her to return to school, she specially visited her home, hoping that she could return to school. Her parents can change their minds.

So after seeing the faces of Chen Juanjuan's parents, Teacher He was very angry. When he came back and met the military wives in the compound, he couldn't help but scolded Chen Juanjuan's parents severely.

People who usually don't lose their temper often become even more surprising when they do. Because of this, the military wives in the compound will pay attention to Chen Juanjuan's dropping out of school and use this incident to motivate their own children to study hard.

Of course there were some successful motivations, but there were also many that had the opposite effect. Among the military wives lining up, there were several whose children wanted to drop out of school and go home to play after hearing about Chen Juanjuan's story.

This made them very angry, so they beat them all up and sent them back to school.

After learning about what Su Ting and his wife did, they secretly kept it in mind, thinking that if this method worked, the next time their children dared to threaten to drop out of school, they would just throw them to the seafood supply station. If it didn't work, then forget it.

The above is the thought of military wives who have naughty children at home. Parents whose children are easy to deal with and have never thought of dropping out of school do not quite believe what Li Guifang says.

He Yan is number one in the grade!

They thought that anyone might want to drop out of school and go home to play, but He Yan definitely wouldn't. A child with such good grades must be a good child who loves to study!

If that’s the case, why did Su Ting and his wife send him to the seafood supply station?

Some people couldn't help but speculate on the conspiracy, thinking that Su Ting was probably just pretending to be nice to He Yan before, and now seeing the opportunity, she slandered He Yan by saying that he wanted to drop out of school, and persuaded He Dongchuan to send him to work at the seafood supply station.

They said they were giving him a few days off to let him experience life, but who knows if he will get a few more days off after those few days? Worse still, he might be accused of wanting to drop out of school and be forced to continue working at the seafood supply station.

For a moment, the eyes of these military wives were full of pity when they looked at He Yan.

It is said that if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. They used to be skeptical about this. After all, although the two stepmothers in the compound have their own shortcomings, they are not bad to their children, and the children's father also seems to be clear-headed.

But now it seems that the old saying still makes sense. No matter how clear-headed a person seems at ordinary times, he cannot resist the influence of his young wife.

In front of He Yan, these military wives knew how to restrain themselves and said nothing. However, after leaving the seafood supply station, they could not help themselves and started talking one after another.

He Yan at the supply station didn't know that he had been turned into a cabbage by a human brain. He had to start working.

The job is simple, just separate the fish intestines and gallbladder with your hands.

Fish gall is inedible, so customers basically don't want it. As for the fish intestines, it depends on the person. Some people are more frugal and will take the fish intestines back, while some people don't like to eat them and won't want them.

But no matter whether they want it or not, she has to separate the fish intestines and fish gallbladders. The fish gallbladders will be discarded directly, while the fish intestines will be sent to the farm to feed chickens if no one wants them.

Just like what Li Guifang and Su Ting said, this job is not tiring, but it is very fishy and there is blood on the fish intestines.

Moreover, the supply station did not have plastic gloves suitable for He Yan, so he could only use chopsticks. However, some fish intestines and fish gall bladders were mixed together when they were taken out, and the stick could not separate them, so he could only use his hands. This was what He Yan could not stand the most.

So at first, He Yan really didn't want to touch these things, but after Li Guifang saw his repulsion, every time she put fish intestines and fish gallbladders in front of him, she would add: "It's okay, you can take your time, there's no rush. Anyway, we have a lot of free time, you can leave work when you are done. If everyone else has left work, Auntie will stay here with you."

He Yan: “…”

Although he still had to work after returning home, home was always cleaner than the supply station. In order to finish the work earlier, He Yan had to hold his nose and start to separate the fish intestines and fish gallbladders, and then use chopsticks to squeeze the fish intestines into the bucket.

At first He Yan moved very carefully, fearing that his hands would be stained with dirt. However, as more and more fish intestines and gallbladders piled up in front of him, he could no longer care and began to pick them out with his hands.

The more He Yan dug into it, the more he regretted it. If he had a time machine, he could go back to two days ago and beat himself up. How could he have thought that not studying was better than studying?

He regretted it, he really regretted it.

The regretful mood stopped at nine o'clock. Holding the fifty cents given by Li Guifang, He Yan asked in disbelief, "Is this for me?"

Li Guifang nodded and said, "Yes, this is your salary for today. Since you only work for a few days, your salary will be paid on a daily basis."

The working hours at the seafood supply station are from 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., which is five hours in total. Therefore, the salary is lower than that of ordinary units, ranging from 15 to 22 yuan. Based on the minimum wage, the daily income is a little over 50 cents.

Su Ting considered that if the money was too little, it would be difficult to motivate He Yan to work actively, and he might want to strike on the first day. If the money was too much, he would think that making money was easy, which would not be conducive to achieving the purpose of making him understand the hardships of life.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Su Ting decided to pay He Yan according to the supply station's minimum wage. Of course, this would be more, after all, he only worked two hours a day, but she felt that there was no need to calculate it so carefully, after all, he still had to work after returning home.

As for why the salary is paid on a daily basis, it is to give He Yan some sweet treats. Only with the stick and the candy can he not resolutely quit the game.

He Yan had no idea of ​​the adults' "evil intentions" and was quite happy after getting the money. This was the first money he had ever earned since he grew up.

Although it was only fifty cents, it was enough to buy a few mangoes, a handful of candies, and several pounds of melon seeds.

He Yan hovered at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, wanting to go in and buy something, but he felt that this money was earned with great difficulty and was a little reluctant to spend it.

After much hesitation, He Yan still couldn't bear to spend the money. He returned home with the money in his pocket and shouted as soon as he entered the door: "Mom!"

Su Ting heard the voice coming out of the house and asked, "Are you back?"

"Well, I made money!" He Yan held up fifty cents to show Su Ting.

Su Ting knew it well, but she looked surprised: "Where did you get the money?"

"Aunt Li said this is my salary for working today, 50 cents a day!" After He Yan finished showing off, he remembered to ask, "Mom, what do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you."

Hearing this, Su Ting's heart softened instantly, and she wanted to tell He Yan that she would not work at the supply station anymore.

He was really tortured these two days, and Su Ting saw it all. She knew that he wanted to give up several times, but he was tricked by them and held on.

The child is so sensible, Su Ting feels...

But you still have to teach.

If He Yan is not given a sufficient lesson this time, once he has forgotten the hardships he has endured in the past two days, perhaps he will have new ideas when school starts again after the new year.

People's tolerance is constantly increasing. This time he couldn't bear it after working for two days, and next time he might need three or four days. In the end, this method no longer works for him.

That's why He Yan set the time limit to one week. During this week, the things they arranged would continue to pile up, and the regrets in his heart would also continue to pile up, and seven days would almost reach the critical point.

Even if he forgets about this incident in the future, he will remember his emotions at that time and go to school diligently.

The saying "children remember the food but not the beating" is because the beating is not hard enough and the children don't remember the pain. If the beating is really hard, even the most carefree child will become obedient.

However, neither Su Ting nor He Dongchuan are parents who advocate violent education, so they chose a more tactful approach, but they hope it will be useful for He Yan.

Finally, Su Ting chose to express her concern for He Yan with words: "Are you busy at work today? Are you tired?"

Although He Yan was very concerned about his reputation in front of his father, and because of this, his artery was precisely pinched, and he could only grit his teeth to persevere, but in front of Su Ting, he didn't care so much and immediately complained: "It's so busy and tiring! Aunt Li asked me to separate the fish gallbladder and fish intestines. The smell was so bad and there was blood on them. I started to use chopsticks, but the chopsticks were too slow, so I had to use my hands... When I came back, I used soap many times before I washed my hands clean!"

“That was really hard.”

He Yan nodded vigorously: "Yeah."

"Then do you want to rest for a while before doing the housework?"

Su Ting's words instantly broke the warmth. He Yan remembered that he still had a lot of work to do after returning and couldn't rest yet. He immediately asked pitifully, "Can I rest a little longer?"

"Okay, just finish the work before Dad comes back." Su Ting was considerate but also ruthless. "By the way, do you want to take a shower? You smell like fish."

If it was in the past, He Yan would have taken a shower immediately if he was told that he smelled like fish. But now, he asked hesitantly, "Can I not change my clothes after taking a shower?"

Su Ting smiled: "What do you think?"

He Yan sighed, there were two more pieces of clothes to wash.

Because He Yan just needed to take a simple shower and change clothes, the hot water in the thermos would be enough, so Su Ting didn't delay and went into the bathroom to get him hot water after the chat.

He Yan quickly took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and then went to the master bedroom to play with his sister for a while. Later, seeing that it was really late, he slowly went to the bathroom to wash clothes.

Just like yesterday, Su Ting's clothes were washed by He Dongchuan last night. He couldn't accept letting his son wash his daughter-in-law's clothes. Su Ting was the same. If he didn't wash them, she would wash them herself.

Therefore, He Yan still had to wash clothes for both father and son, and his father's clothes gave him a headache just like yesterday.

After finishing washing clothes with great effort, it was already noon. He Yan continued to get food, eat, and take a nap. At two o'clock in the afternoon, he got up and continued working. He Yan still did not rest that day.

The only thing that could comfort his wounded heart was probably the fifty cents he earned through his own hard work.

Because Su Ting said that this was the first money he earned with his own hands and it had commemorative significance, so she asked him to save it well, so He Yan did not spend the fifty cents.

In order to cheer himself up, He Yan would go to bed with the fifty cents in his hand at night.

Earning fifty cents a day could comfort He Yan temporarily, but it couldn't comfort He Yan forever. As time went by, he began to feel physically and mentally exhausted.

In fact, in the next few days, Su Ting did not deliberately increase his workload, and he still did the same work at the seafood supply station.

But for He Yan, even if these tasks were not considered super heavy, they were enough to keep him busy. The first day was fine because it was just the beginning, and the second day was bearable. But on the third and fourth days, he began to feel exhausted from the inside out.

In just a few days, He Yan turned from a little sunshine into a frost-bitten eggplant.

He began to become silent.

After finishing his work for the first two days, he still had the energy to play with his sister, but later on, when he was done, he just wanted to sit there and daydream.

Because she was with He Yan every day, Su Ting was keenly aware of the changes in He Yan, so before going to bed that day, she suggested to He Dongchuan to end the game early.

He Dongchuan frowned: "It's only been five days."

"I think that's enough. Xiaoyan should be taught a lesson."

"Are you sure?"

"Haven't you noticed that Xiaoyan hasn't talked much these past few days? I think he might be too tired, so he can't muster the energy to do anything now."

"It's just some housework. It's not tiring at all. When I was his age, my dad had already thrown me into the Boy Scout training camp." He Dongchuan felt that he had shown some leniency.

Su Ting complained: "You are you, Xiaoyan is Xiaoyan, do you think everyone is the same as you?"

"What's wrong with me?"

As soon as she saw his expression, Su Ting knew that she could only say nice things at this time, so she said unhappily, "You are awesome, okay?"

He Dongchuan's eyes lit up with a smile: "Okay."

"I think everyone's life environment and personality are different, so we can't compare them directly. Take He Yan for example. He has never suffered any hardship since he was a child. It's already very difficult for him to do so much work all of a sudden. You can't ask Xiao Yan to do the same just because you were thrown into a military camp for training when you were seven or eight years old." Su Ting paused and said, "It might be okay if you really threw him into a military camp for training. At least I can't see it and I don't feel bad."

In fact, Su Ting felt that if there really were Boy Scouts on the island, it might be a better idea to throw He Yan in for training. At least he would be surrounded by children of similar age, and they could cheer each other up, and they would be able to get through any hardship or difficulty.

He Yan is just too lonely now, with no one to talk to. Su Ting can comfort him, but she does nothing and the comfort she gives is very one-sided, so he becomes increasingly silent.

He Dongchuan was not a dictatorial person. He knew that what Su Ting said made sense. He lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, "Then I won't wake him up tomorrow."

"Um."

…

Without his father urging him to get up, He Yan slept until dawn.

Seeing the bright light reflected on the window, He Yan's heart skipped a beat. He quickly got up from the bed, opened the door and hurried out.

But after taking just two steps, He Yan stopped. He saw Su Ting push the door open and come in, holding breakfast and milk in her hands. He was confused and pointed at Su Ting and asked, "Mom, you...what's wrong..."

Su Ting didn't mean to explain immediately, she just smiled and said, "Go brush your teeth and wash your face first."

He Yan then remembered that he hadn't brushed his teeth or washed his face. He said "oh" and walked into the bathroom. When he came out after washing up, Su Ting greeted him and said, "I bought noodles. You've worked hard these past few days, so I bought an extra fried egg."

He Yan sat down at the table dazed, picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of noodles and took a bite, then he reacted and asked, "Mom, why are you the one buying breakfast today?"

"How have you been feeling these days?" Su Ting answered irrelevantly.

"What?" He Yan didn't quite understand what she meant.

Su Ting guided her, "Just think about how you feel these past few days. Are you tired? Do you think it's better to continue studying or drop out of school? You can say whatever you want."

Of course I am tired.

Studying is definitely better than dropping out of school. I heard that Chen Juanjuan dropped out of school before. He Yan, like many of her classmates, envied her and thought she could play forever.

After these few days, he realized how naive he was. He didn't understand what it meant to "why not eat meat?", but he had already begun to feel ashamed of envying Chen Juanjuan for dropping out of school.

He Yan asked: "Mom, is it true that Chen Juanjuan can no longer study?"

Su Ting was slightly startled: "Why do you ask that?"

"I just feel so sorry for Chen Juanjuan."

Because He Yan is young, the military wives at the supply station don't avoid him when chatting, so he has heard them complain about their children's poor grades in recent days. Some even say that if the child doesn't study hard, he/she should just go home.

But every time after complaining, they would say that this person still needs to go to school. For example, military wives with education can become teachers and work in offices, while those of them without education can only deal with seafood at supply stations. In the end, they would conclude that the children must at least finish junior high school and high school.

After hearing so much, He Yan gradually understood why his parents made him do so much housework and why they made him work at the seafood supply station.

Because they didn't want him to drop out of school.

So He Yan didn't understand why Chen Juanjuan's parents didn't want her to go to school. Aren't parents always doing what's best for their children? But why were her parents different from other parents?

He Yan is only in the third grade. He can think of many things but cannot express them fluently. His words are halting and a little disorganized.

But Su Ting understood and was shocked.

Although He Yan is becoming more and more proficient in his studies, Su Ting always thinks he is silly in life, so it is difficult for her to connect He Yan with the male protagonist of the original novel.

Especially when it comes to Chen Juanjuan dropping out of school, He Yan's naivety makes Su Ting feel that he may not grow up to be Long Aotian in the original novel in the future.

It was not until now that Su Ting realized that he was really smart and sharp, but his life might have been too smooth, so he became less willing to think and appeared stupid.

It seems that he will have to think more in the future.

Su Ting said: "Because not all parents love every child."

He Yan asked in confusion: "But didn't mom say before that she gave birth to a sister out of love? Mom also said that she would love me and my sister."

"I have said this before, and I really love you and your sister, but not everyone will love their children as much as I do," Su Ting said carefully, "Some people value boys over girls, thinking that boys can carry on the family line, so they treat them as treasures, and girls will get married in the future, so they are treated as grass. Chen Juanjuan's parents are such people."

"What is the continuation of the family line?"

From ancient times to now, people have always believed that blood is the key to succession, but science has proven that only female genes can be passed down. In addition, some families with only daughters would rather adopt a non-blood-related boy in order to continue the family line... Su Ting said, "It's probably the surname."

"Is the surname important?" He Yan asked. He had no idea about it.

“It’s not important, but some people think it’s important.”

"In their hearts, the surname is more important than the children?"

Su Tingzhen said: "It is more important than girls."

He Yan couldn't understand this concept and said, "I think my sister is more important than my surname."

"So, everyone thinks differently. Some people are born in a new society, but their thoughts are still stuck in the old society."

He Yan fell into deep thought again. It was not until Su Ting reminded him that he lowered his head and took two mouthfuls of noodles. Then he stopped and sighed, "Chen Juanjuan's grades are very good... It would be great if she could come back and continue her studies."

Although they were both among the top students in the class, He Yan never liked playing with girls, so he was not very familiar with Chen Juanjuan.

Until these few days, every time he wanted to give up, Su Ting would mention Chen Juanjuan, and her image gradually became clear in his mind.

As his body became increasingly tired and his heart was filled with regret, He Yan would think of this classmate whom he was not very familiar with in the past from time to time. He began to feel ashamed of mistaking her pain for happiness in the past, and also felt sorry for her.

No matter how hard his life is now or how difficult his life is, it is only temporary. When the agreed time has passed, he will be able to return to school.

But Chen Juanjuan is different, she really dropped out of school and it is difficult for her to go back to school.

Listening to He Yan's words, Su Ting felt very comforted. Although he was born in a honeypot and didn't know the sufferings of the world, he was compassionate, which was very different from the hero in the original novel who would do anything to achieve his goals.

Su Ting consoled her by saying, "Maybe after you return to school, Chen Juanjuan will also come back to school?"

He Yan quickly asked: "Is it possible?"

"Of course it's possible. Although Chen Juanjuan's parents don't love her that much, your head teacher loves every child in your class and she has not given up on Chen Juanjuan."

He Yan was delighted, and after calculating the time in his mind, he said, "I can go back to school the day after tomorrow."

"Want to go back to school?"

"I do." Afraid that Su Ting wouldn't believe him, He Yan emphasized, "I really, really want to!"

"Then congratulations, after breakfast you can go back to school."

He Yan was stunned, and it took him a while to react, with surprise showing in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows: "Really? I can go back to school today? But isn't today only the sixth day?"

He remembered his father had said that not a single day could be missed in the seven days.

"Because you have behaved well these past few days and have realized how hard it is to get the opportunity to go to school, I have discussed with your father and decided to end the game early and let you go back to school. However!" Su Ting emphasized, "This is the first and last time. If you have the idea of ​​dropping out of school again in the future, your father and I will not ask for leave for you, but will directly let you drop out of school. Do you understand?"

Although Su Ting's expression was very serious, He Yan was not afraid at all. Joy filled his heart, and he couldn't help but jump off the stool, hugged Su Ting, and kissed her hard on the face twice: "I know! Thank you, Mom!"

Su Ting was stunned by the sudden kiss. It took her half a minute to react. She wiped her face and said angrily, "You kissed me all over the face."

"I'll get you a towel!" Feeling guilty, He Yan ran into the bathroom, took out a towel and handed it to Su Ting.

Su Ting didn't wipe her face, she just hooked her finger at He Yan and said, "Come here."

"Ah?" He Yan approached Su Ting with confusion.

Su Ting leaned over and kissed He Yan on the cheek.

Compared to many parents of this generation, Su Ting is relatively good at expressing herself, but her expressions are limited to verbal expressions, and she does not kiss He Yan often.

So after being kissed, He Yan was happy, shy, and a little embarrassed: "Mom, what are you doing?"

"This is a reward for you." Su Ting said, then she remembered something and specifically instructed, "Don't tell your dad."

He Yan blinked: "Is this our secret?"

Su Ting smiled: "Yes."

It has to be a secret, otherwise if some jealous person finds out, she suspects her lips will be swollen from being kissed at night.
