Dinner at Yuan Tiezhu's house was a bit early.
This was done on purpose by his father.
Yuan Tiezhu usually pays special attention to food, afraid that he might miss out on a bite.
There's a saying that a half-grown boy can eat his father out of house and home, which refers to people like them.
If there's no food in its belly, it'll be even more panicked than a rabbit.
He did something wrong today.
His father just wanted to eat early so he could see what would happen if he didn't have food.
Yuan Tiezhu was not unaware of what his father was planning.
He wasn't in the mood to argue about it at the moment.
His mind was filled with images of Yuan Ping'an, whose face was bruised and swollen from being beaten so badly.
I feel like I went too far.
I felt immense regret and guilt.
The rumbling in his stomach did not disturb his thoughts at all.
It was as if the sound wasn't coming from his stomach.
Suddenly, he stood up abruptly and knelt down again.
He had been kneeling for a while, and when he suddenly stood up, a sharp pain shot through his knees, forcing him to kneel back down.
Kneeling down caused even more pain in his knees, making him frown.
The people eating all turned their eyes to him.
He struggled to his feet and stumbled as he ran outside.
His mother was about to chase after him.
His father, Yuan Daikui, stopped him.
"You all stay home and eat your meal. I'm going out to check on things."
He took a piece of bread and followed behind, keeping a distance that wasn't too close or too far.
He wanted to see how much his son had reflected on his actions.
Where are we going?
Judging from the direction he walked, he was probably going to Yuan Shitou's house.
He didn't know whether they were there to cause trouble or to apologize.
Yuan Tiezhu stumbled and ran to the former Yuan Shitou's house.
The gates of the Yuan family's house were wide open, and the family members were gathered around Yuan Ping'an.
Yuan Ping'an sat on a recliner, his face covered in oil.
Yuan's mother and Xiaoxiao each held an egg and were rolling it on his wound.
Yuan Shitou and his father each held one of his hands.
The occasional painful cries of Yuan Ping'an made him feel even more guilty.
He rushed in and, to the astonishment of the whole family, knelt down on the ground with a thud.
"Yuan Ping'an, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have bothered you today and beat you up like this. It was my fault."
I will kowtow to you and apologize.
He then kowtowed three times with a series of "bang bang bang" sounds.
This left Yuan Shitou and his family completely bewildered.
Xiao Xiao was the first to react and reached out to pull him up.
"What are you doing, child?"
"Why can't we talk things out properly? We don't follow the old ways anymore."
Yuan Tiezhu bowed his head and gave Xiaoxiao another salute:
"Teacher Yun, I'm sorry, I have failed your teaching."
As he spoke, he bowed to each of them, including Madam Yuan.
The attitude of the apology was very appropriate.
Yuan's mother's anger immediately softened.
She sighed and patted him on the shoulder: "Sigh, you kid, don't be so impulsive in the future."
What else could she say?
The other child not only lost money, but also took the initiative to come and admit his mistake.
If she keeps holding on to it, then she's being incredibly unreasonable.
Besides, Yuan Ping'an, who had black sesame filling in his mouth, wasn't seriously injured.
Let's just let this go.
Yuan Ping'an nodded: "Yes, impulsiveness is the devil. We must not act impulsively in the future."
Don't worry, I forgive you.
I won't hold it against you anymore.
As he spoke, he hissed and reached up to touch the corner of his mouth.
Look at what he's saying! Anyone who doesn't know him would think he's incredibly generous.
Xiao Xiao nodded: "Yes, it is the best thing to admit one's mistakes and correct them."
Besides, you kids are at a time when you're prone to impulsiveness.
Remember to think things through before you act.
Hopefully, such a trivial matter as today will never happen again.
I think I know what you're thinking.
You all feel uncomfortable if you think Ping An is a good kid in everyone's eyes and you all follow his example.
In fact, everyone has their own way of living.
Ping An is a pitiful child who has no parents.
Although our whole family loves him, we can never give him the love that his parents have for him.
So he worked very hard.
I just want to gain everyone's approval.
You are all loved by your parents and are the darlings of your families.
It's inevitable that one's ambitions will become somewhat high.
It's understandable that they felt jealous because they couldn't stand that Ping An was better than them in every way.
Actually, it's quite easy to surpass Ping An.
As long as you listen to me and use your brains more when things happen.
Do everything seriously.
It will definitely outperform Ping An.
Don't start a fight over every little thing.
Fighting won't solve anything.
Work hard from now on and become a real man. I believe in you!
As he spoke, he patted him on the shoulder.
Xiao Xiao is not a magnanimous person.
On the contrary, she is petty and extremely protective of her own.
But you can't sentence someone's child to death just because they got into a fight with your child.
To put it bluntly, these children are still in a hazy stage of development and are the apple of their families' eyes.
It's normal to have a temper.
Especially the children in the mountains.
He has a lot of drive when he encounters problems.
They simply don't want to use their brains.
To say they're bad is an understatement; they're not really bad.
It's all about saving face.
Therefore, Xiao Xiao, as a schoolteacher in the village, was very willing to give them another chance.
They were also very willing to consider Yuan Ping'an's feelings.
It's always better to have one more friend than one more enemy.
Yuan Tiezhu still listened to everything Xiao Xiao said.
This gave him the idea of wanting to change himself.
I feel like I'm being too petty and narrow-minded.
This is not in line with his status as a man.
No, it must be corrected.
Fortunately, Teacher Yun gave him a reminder today.
Otherwise, he would continue making the same mistakes.
His life after that was not what he had envisioned.
Thinking of this, he bowed deeply to Yun Xiaoxiao again.
"Thank you for your guidance, teacher. I understand now, and I will never do anything rash again."
Yuan Ping'an, let's be friends from now on.
I will not be your enemy.
I will defeat you with my actual abilities.
Yuan Ping'an jumped up from the stool in one gulp: "Okay! Okay! I accept."
Let's see who's more successful and who's more of a man in the future.
As he spoke, he even stretched out his hand and made a gesture of encouragement.
Then he lay back down in the chair, groaning.
Yuan Tiezhu quickly stepped forward and reached out to touch him.
But I don't know where to touch?
Seeing his face, I couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Yuan Ping'an couldn't help but laugh.
That's how the two children made up.
Mr. Yuan, Mrs. Yuan, and Xiao Xiao and the others standing nearby also smiled.
Mother Yuan smiled and said, "Zhu Zi hasn't eaten yet, has he? He'll eat here. We haven't eaten either."
Yuan Zhuzi shook his head: "No, I'd better go back and eat."
He turned and ran away.
Yuan's mother immediately grabbed him: "Then you wait here, I'll go get you some eggs, and when we get back, I'll have your mother cook them for you to roll around in."
