Teacher Fang also saw the injury on Cen Huaian's ankle. She exclaimed, "It's so swollen! An An, how did you keep silent?"
Thinking of how she actually listened to him and didn't help him or check his legs when Cen Huaian limped back, Teacher Fang's guilt almost drowned her.
She felt that she was really derelict in her duty as a class teacher.
Chu Xia reached out and held his ankle. Cen Huaian finally became like a child in front of her. He hissed and wrinkled his face.
"Mom, it hurts."
Chu Xia didn't say anything. After checking, she confirmed that he just sprained his ankle and didn't hurt his bones. She was relieved, but she still looked unhappy.
"Do you feel the pain now?" Chu Xia looked at Cen Huaian, feeling angry and distressed: "You're still walking with a sprained ankle, do you still want your leg? Do you want to become a cripple?"
Cen Huaian looked helpless, shaking his head while pinching the corner of his clothes: "Mom, I don't want to."
He lowered his head: "I don't feel much pain."
He was also injured in fights before, and this was the first time he sprained his ankle, so he was used to it. Hungry is the most uncomfortable thing, even more uncomfortable than when you get injured in a fight.
Chu Xia listened to what he said, and her heart felt like it was bitten by an unknown insect, sour and numb.
"Silly." She reached out and touched Cen Huaian's head, still with a serious face, "You have to learn to take care of your body. No matter whether you can bear the pain or not, you can cry when you are hurt. You can ask the teacher for help. You don't have to bear it yourself. You still have your mother."
In the past, Cen Huaian licked his wounds by himself after fighting. Last time he fought with Chenchen, he had the upper hand, and his mother mainly taught him a lesson.
Until this time, Cen Huaian found that he also had someone to rely on. Even if he was injured in a fight, his mother would still love him.
At this moment, he could not feel the pain in his body. He felt very warm in his heart, as if he drank a cup of warm water in the cold winter and warmed up all of a sudden.
Cen Huaian couldn't help but hug Chuxia and rubbed his head against her: "Mom."
Chuxia patted his back gently. Teacher Fang was immersed in guilt, and Jiang Zhida had no place to vent his anger. No one spoke in the car for a while.
After hugging for a while, Chuxia let go of Cen Huaian and asked him where it still hurt.
At this moment, Cen Huaian was no longer as strong as before. Except for the injuries that could only be seen after taking off his clothes, he showed all the other injuries to Chuxia.
"Mom, the neck was pinched by Zhao Yin's fingernails, the left corner of the mouth was hit by Zhao Jin's fist, and the arm was rubbed on the ground by Zhao Jin..."
Chuxia's face darkened as he said one, and Jiang Zhida, who was driving in front, was no less anxious.
After Cen Huaian finished speaking, Chuxia also checked them all. Children don't have that much strength, and the injuries that look serious are actually superficial, with the most serious one being the ankle.
Chuxia breathed a sigh of relief, this was the best news for her.
Jiang Zhida's face went dark, and the aura he exuded made Teacher Fang hide back again.
Although he looks easy to talk to and has no bad intentions, that's when he's not provoked. Jiang Zhida had experienced a lot when his family was in trouble before. If he wasn't ruthless enough, how could he protect himself and his family?
"Those two kids bullied my nephew so much, what do you say, Teacher Fang?"
Although Teacher Fang felt that Jiang Zhida's momentum was a bit scary, she still remembered that she was a teacher. She swallowed her saliva and said, "Uncle An'an, I have asked Zhao Jin and Zhao Yin to ask their parents to come to school this afternoon. They will definitely be punished then."
Jiang Zhida said "hmm" and didn't say anything more.
Chuxia looked out the window and wondered why the way to the hospital was so long.
The car finally arrived at the hospital. The doctor examined Cen Huaian again. The result was the same as Chuxia's. Except for the ankle, which was the most serious, the others were just superficial injuries and would heal in a few days.
The doctor treated the wounds on Cen Huaian's face and body, applying medicine where necessary and rubbing the wounds where necessary.
Cen Huaian was very patient throughout the whole process. It must have hurt to apply the medicine, and the swollen areas had to be rubbed, which hurt even more. But he gritted
his teeth and said nothing. Chuxia let him hold her hand, frowned and said, "If it hurts, just scream."
Cen Huaian did not scream, and only hummed or hissed when it hurt.
Chuxia's face showed both distress and helplessness: "Why are you so stubborn?"
"Mom, it doesn't hurt." Cen Huaian even comforted Chuxia, which made Chuxia feel even worse, and she rubbed his head.
The doctor put a plaster on his ankle and said, "This foot is too swollen. You must not use force until it is completely healed."
Then he smiled and said, "I have never seen a child as strong as your child."
Before, all the children he saw were injured and they cried loudly. It was good that they could cooperate throughout the whole process. It was impossible not to cry.
Chu Xia smiled and said nothing. She would rather Cen Huaian was not so strong.
Jiang Zhida also saw Cen Huaian like this for the first time. He walked out before he finished the examination. He felt very uncomfortable.
Teacher Fang knew that Cen Huaian could endure it just now, but he couldn't help being shocked when he saw it now.
How could there be a child like Cen Huaian who was not afraid of pain at all? How did his mother raise him to be so sensible and strong?
Teacher Fang couldn't figure it out.
When paying the fee, Teacher Fang wanted to pay, but Chu Xia refused. Even Jiang Zhida wanted to pay Chu Xia, but she refused.
"Don't pay. An An is my son. I should pay for it."
Chu Xia forcefully suppressed their thoughts and paid the fee. She wanted to leave the hospital with Cen Huaian on her back, but Jiang Zhida took the lead to hold him.
"Cousin, if you don't let me pay, you should at least let me hold An An."
Chu Xia finally smiled a little, and she was not as tense as before: "If you are willing, hold him."
Teacher Fang was relieved when she saw that Chu Xia and Jiang Zhida's faces were finally not so ugly.
When we returned to the alley from the hospital, Chu Xia asked Teacher Fang, "Teacher Fang, where is your home?"
Teacher Fang pointed inside the alley and said, "My home is in this alley."
The car continued to drive into the alley. Not long after driving, Teacher Fang quickly leaned on the passenger seat and said, "Stop, stop, we're at my home."
Chu Xia watched Teacher Fang get out of the car, standing in front of the house that was similar in structure to hers, raised her hand and waved to them with a smile: "We're at my house, don't forget to come to school this afternoon."
The car drove forward a little and stopped, Chu Xia got out first, then Jiang Zhida turned off the car and got out, carrying Cen Huaian out of the car.
Teacher Fang, who was about to watch the car drive away, froze with her waving hand, blinked, and looked confused: "An An's mother, why don't you leave?"
Chu Xia pointed to the gate in front of her and said: "My house is here."
Teacher Fang's eyes widened suddenly, and she looked at Chu Xia and the other two in surprise, and then at the house.
"Hasn't this house always been empty? When did you move in?"
When Chuxia's family moved in, Teacher Fang was teaching at school. She usually came back to eat, clean up, and then went to bed. She didn't hear her mother talk about the neighbors, so she didn't know that someone was living in the yard next door.
Chuxia said, "We've been here for two or three days." She
didn't say much else.
Teacher Fang couldn't calm down yet. She looked at Chuxia and the other two in a daze, then shook her head and hurried home.
"Mom, someone is living next door to our house?!"
Chuxia had already prepared the meal before Cen Huaian got out of school, and put the meal in the pot waiting for him to come back to eat.
As a result, he got hurt in a fight. Now sitting at the dinner table, not only Chuxia was hungry, but Cen Huaian and Jiang Zhida were even more hungry.
In fact, Chuxia's cooking skills are only at the level of home cooking, and she can't cook complicated dishes.
Because of Jiang Zhida, she cooked an extra dish. Usually, she and An'an only cook one dish, and they can't finish it if they cook too much.
A dish of beef brisket stewed with tomatoes and a dish of stir-fried vegetables. Now is the time when there are many fresh vegetables. In spring, people eat fresh food, so Chuxia will naturally not miss those vegetables just dug out of the ground.
While eating, Jiang Zhida said, "Cousin, your cooking skills are so good, much better than my mother's!"
Jiang Zhida's mother, Ms. Yang Mei, can be asked about various book allusions and foreign languages.
But she has no tricks at all in cooking. Uncle Chiang could only cook until the rice was cooked, so when Magistrate Chiang and Chiang Chi-ta grew up, the kitchen was handed over to them. They really didn't want to eat food that was worse than pig food.
But Chiang Chi-ta was mainly responsible for helping out, while Magistrate Chiang was responsible for cooking. After Magistrate Chiang got married, he and Uncle Chiang cooked for the Chiang family. Sometimes his mother would cook when she was interested, but there was no delicious meal anyway. Whenever
Chiang Chi-ta thought of it, he burst into tears.
Cen Huaian said innocently: "Can't your aunt cook?"
Jiang Zhida looked at Cen Huaian, sighed and said: "It's not only people who can't cook that make the food taste bad."
Cen Huaian looked puzzled. Why would someone who can cook make the food taste bad? It tastes bad only if he can't cook. For example, the food his father cooks is not delicious because his father can't cook.
Jiang Zhida didn't explain so much. Chuxia picked up a piece of beef for Cen Huaian and said: "Eat quickly, eat more to grow taller."
Cen Huaian immediately forgot the question just now and concentrated on eating meat.
After dinner, Cen Huaian was injured. Jiang Zhida was the guest, so Chuxia had to clean up the dishes.
Of course Jiang Zhida didn't do anything either. Seeing her busy, he quickly stood up and said, "Cousin, let me help you."
Chuxia didn't refuse. She let him pour the leftovers into the dog bowl and help her take the dishes to the kitchen.
When everything was cleaned up, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon, and the school started at 2:30 in the afternoon.
Chuxia asked Cen Huaian if he was sleepy?
He always had the habit of taking a nap, and so did Chuxia.
Cen Huaian rubbed his eyes and said, "Mom, a little."
"Then take a nap."
After all, she had to deal with the problem of An An being bullied by Zhao Jin and Zhao Yin in the afternoon, so she probably couldn't go to class. Besides, she also greeted Teacher Fang, so it didn't matter if she went to school late.
After watching Cen Huaian fall asleep on the bed, Chuxia walked out and saw Jiang Zhida standing in the yard looking up at the young leaves of the date tree.
"Cousin, you haven't eaten the dates from this tree, right? They are so sweet."
Chuxia also looked up at the date tree. Just by looking at its new leaves, she knew that it had strong vitality.
"Then I'll have to taste them when the dates are ripe."
Jiang Zhida looked over, glanced at the room where Cen Huaian slept, and asked Chuxia while stroking his chin: "Cousin, what do you want to do with the two kids who beat people?"
"Give them compensation and apologize, and make them not dare to beat people again in the future."
Jiang Zhida said: "That's for sure, is there anything else?"
As long as Chuxia said it, he could do it. He is a native of Beijing, and if nothing else, he has many friends.
"Let's talk about it in the afternoon. If they don't think they are wrong, we can try other methods."
"Okay." Jiang Zhida nodded.
When Chuxia was very angry before, she also wanted to beat up the two children. Now she has regained her senses and knows that it is impossible, so she will think of a way to scare the two children so that they will never dare to bully others again.
Chuxia also told Jiang Zhida about this idea. Jiang Zhida nodded and understood what Chuxia meant.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Chuxia called Cen Huaian, picked up the bag, and the three of them went to school.
Zhao Jin and Zhao Yin's mothers were already waiting impatiently in Teacher Fang's office, with a look of impatience on their faces: "Teacher, when will the kids who beat people come over? We've been waiting here for a long time, are they coming yet? They bit Zhao Jin's arm like that, I won't let it go."
"I won't let it go!"
Chu Xia's voice rang out of the office. Jiang Zhida carried Cen Huaian on his back, and Chu Xia followed beside him. The three of them walked into the office.
Zhao Jin's mother was a woman who looked as sturdy as them, with small eyes that were tilted upwards, and she looked at Chu Xia with a fierce look on her face.
"It was your son who bit my son like this? How did you teach your children to bite people like dogs!"
Chu Xia looked over without showing weakness: "How dare you say such things to me? It's because of a mother like you who doesn't know right from wrong that you taught these two naughty kids to bully their classmates!"
"What are you talking about? You..."
The strong woman then started to curse at him with a long string of obscene words, which were as ugly and vulgar as they could be. She even came over and tried to hit him.
Jiang Zhida had already put Cen Huaian on the chair beside him. He listened to the strong woman's harsh words and his face became gloomy.
Seeing that she was still going to hit him, he reached out and grabbed her arm with all his strength.
"Hey! It hurts! Let me go!" The strong woman stretched out her other hand and was about to grab Jiang Zhida's face. Jiang Zhida quickly loosened and pushed her hand away.
Not only did the strong woman fail to hit Jiang Zhida, she was also pushed to the ground.
She wanted to continue scolding, but when she looked up, she met Jiang Zhida's fierce eyes. His eyes were just like those of the street hooligans who came to her stall every month to collect protection fees. No, he was even scarier than those hooligans, as if he wanted to kill her.
Zhao Jin's mother shuddered and turned to look at Teacher Fang: "Teacher, he...he beat people."
Teacher Fang was already shocked by Zhao Jin's mother's scolding. It was the first time she saw a parent making such a fuss in the office. Although she was young, she had dealt with student affairs before, and this was the first time she had seen such a scene.
Seeing that Zhao Jin's mother was the first to complain, she had no good feelings towards her. She frowned and said, "Zhao Jin's mother! What do you want to do? If you don't want to solve the problem, then take your child away and don't come to my class again!"
At that time, parents were very respectful of teachers. It was even common for teachers to corporally punish students. Parents would not say anything and even let teachers beat them at will.
Moreover, the "Compulsory Education Law" has not been promulgated yet, and the nine-year compulsory education has not been implemented. The teacher can refuse students if he wants to, and the principal can expel you if he wants to, even if you are an elementary school student.
Therefore, when Teacher Fang spoke, Zhao Jin's mother quickly got up from the ground and said, "Teacher, I don't want to solve the problem."
She looked at Jiang Zhida's dress and saw that he looked like a street thug. She was scared.
She didn't want to pay the protection fee before, but those hooligans smashed her stall and beat her. After a few beatings, she started to pay obediently.
Those people didn't say much to you. If you didn't pay, they would beat you. They beat you to death. Some people were beaten to disability. She was also afraid.
Teacher Fang continued, "Then you should stop swearing. Besides, what they said is true. Zhao Jin and Zhao Yin bully others in school all day long, and a big reason for this is that you, as a parent, did not discipline them well. Moreover, the cause of their fight was that Zhao Jin and Zhao Yin bullied Cen Huaian first." Zhao Jin
's mother did not agree with Teacher Fang's words, but she was afraid of Teacher Fang and Jiang Zhida, so she stood on She whispered beside him, "Then my two sons were beaten and their bodies were covered with injuries."
Chu Xia looked at her, and suddenly took out a few big wedding notes from her bag, and said with a smile, "Injured, right? We will compensate you, and I can give you more."
Zhao Jin's mother's eyes were full of greed. She wanted to take the money, but she was afraid of Jiang Zhida next to her, "If you had said so earlier, wouldn't the matter be easily resolved?"
"An An, Mom." Teacher Fang frowned beside her, "No..."
Chu Xia stretched out her hand, telling Teacher Fang not to worry, and she took out a few big wedding notes, looked at Zhao Jin's mother and said, "You can compensate, but you can't just compensate like this."
"Da Zi, catch Zhao Jin and Zhao Yin."
Then she said to An An in a gentle tone: "An An, hit them wherever they hit you, and we will pay after the beating. Zhao Jin's mother, as long as they don't maim or kill them, it's okay, right?" Zhao Jin's mother
was stunned by Chu Xia's words. Seeing that Jiang Zhida really grabbed a child in each hand and easily controlled Zhao Jin and Zhao Yin, her two sons were so scared that their faces turned pale, trembling all over, and shouted "Mom".
Zhao Jin's mother rushed over and shook her head frantically: "No! I don't want the money! No more!"
"It's okay, we will compensate." Chu Xia still smiled: "We won't hit too hard, whatever injuries my child suffers, your son will suffer the same injuries, we will never hit him more than once."
Teacher Fang also hurriedly stopped her: "An An's mother, be rational, let's be rational."
Chu Xia looked at Zhao Jin's mother with some regret: "It seems that you don't want our plan of paying compensation, then let's go for the second plan."
Zhao Jin's mother nodded quickly. She had never seen a crazy woman like Chu Xia before, and said with a smile: "As long as you don't beat people to death or disability, it's fine." "
There was also a second-rate man standing next to her. Both of them looked like ruthless people who would really beat someone to death. She was really scared. She started crying along with her child and said, "What do you think the second option is? I don't want the compensation option."
Chuxia put the money away slowly, still smiling, "It's very simple, Mother Zhao Jin, let your child give us a gift and apologize in front of all the classmates in the school, and don't forget to pay for our medical treatment. I will pay whatever your child spends on medical treatment. I'm not an unreasonable person."
"No need! No need!" Mother Zhao Jin waved her hands frantically, fearing that if she agreed to take Chuxia's money, her own son would really come home with missing limbs one day.
Teacher Fang was stunned. She didn't expect that Chu Xia's mother looked gentle and polite, but she handled things in such an unexpected way.
But she had to say that she felt very comfortable looking at Zhao Jin's mother's current state. She thought that evil people should be dealt with in an evil way.
Zhao Jin's mother gave in, and the next thing was easily solved. Chu Xia didn't ask for much. She only asked for the amount of money that An An paid for the medical treatment. She also estimated the injuries on Zhao Jin and Zhao Yin's bodies and gave the money to Zhao Jin's mother.
Zhao Jin's mother didn't dare to take it no matter what. Chu Xia gave the money to Teacher Fang, saying that it was for class fees.
In fact, it is very common for children to fight. Teacher Fang does not always call parents. It is mainly because Zhao Jin and Zhao Yin often bully other students. Teacher Fang wants their parents to educate them.
In addition, they fought with An An at the school gate and suffered obvious injuries. Although they were only minor skin injuries, their parents would care about it, and the impact was not good. Other students saw it.
It was not much time before school was over. Zhao Jin and Zhao Yin were scolded by their mother and taken home in disgrace.
And when the national flag is raised next Monday, they have to apologize to Cen Huaian in front of all the teachers and students in the school, and read a letter of apology.
Teacher Fang did not let Cen Huaian go back to class. He was in this state, with medicine on his face and swollen ankles. She couldn't bear to see him, so she asked Chuxia to take him home to heal his injuries.
On the way back, Chuxia said to Cen Huaian: "Do you know why mom gave you money and asked you to beat Zhao Jin and Zhao Yin?"
Cen Huaian said "hmm" on Jiang Zhida's back: "Mom was trying to scare Zhao Jin's mother."
"Right." Chu Xia smiled: "Also, Zhao Jin's mother is not someone who will admit her mistakes easily, so we have to use other methods to let her and Zhao Jin and Zhao Yin know their mistakes. But An An, you can't take seriously what I just said to scare Zhao Jin's mother. No matter how rich you are, you can't beat people up just because you can afford it! This behavior is no different from Zhao Jin and Zhao Yin, and it's even worse!"
Cen Huaian nodded heavily. He actually knew that what his mother said just now was not true, because his mother had told him before that he couldn't fight casually.
Chuxia raised her hand and rubbed his head, and continued to say to him: "There are thousands of people in this world, and different methods can be used to deal with different people, but An'an, you must have your own bottom line as a person, and be an upright person..."
Chuxia analyzed the fight, the behavior of the Zhao family mother and son, and An'an's approach, and told him what he did right and what he did wrong, what he should do when he encounters such a thing in the future, and how to be an upright person who will not be bullied.
"We don't bully people, but we are not afraid of people."
After listening to this, Jiang Zhida admired Chuxia even more in his heart.
From Chuxia's behavior in solving the problem just now, he found that his cousin's wife was not as gentle and generous as she looked on the outside, and the method she thought of was really amazing.
When he listened to her teaching An An how to behave, he even envied An An a little bit. His mother didn't have that much patience with him before, and when he was a child, his mother was busy with work, so he was often taken care of by his grandparents.
"Cousin, how did you come up with that method of paying money for beating people?"
Chu Xia had never told him before, and he was also shocked when he heard those words.
Fortunately, he was smart and cooperated perfectly with his cousin.
"It's nothing, that kind of person needs to be treated more cruelly than her, so that she will give in."
Jiang Zhida nodded in agreement. He was different from his brother. He liked to hang out in the streets. He had seen too many people who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Just like Chu Xia said, she will be afraid of you only if you are more cruel than her. It's useless to reason with her.
"Cousin, have you ever thought about letting An An learn some self-defense skills?"
Cen Huaian is at the right age now, and he doesn't need to practice martial arts all day like those who specialize in learning martial arts. High-intensity training is not good for children, and the body can't bear it.
Find a teacher who knows this and make reasonable arrangements, so that he can strengthen his body and protect himself without damaging his body.
Chu Xia has thought about letting An An exercise more, because he really doesn't like running and jumping activities, but she has never thought about learning self-defense as Jiang Zhida said.
"An An, do you want to learn?"
Since Jiang Zhida said this, Chu Xia thought that there would be no harm in An An learning something. At least if he encounters the situation again, he won't be as injured as he is now, and his foot will not be sprained.
Cen Huaian nodded without hesitation: "I want to."
There is a movie called "Shaolin Temple" at this time. It is very popular.
When they were in Liangzhou, Cen Huaian and Bangzi went to watch it together. After watching it, all the children wanted to learn Shaolin Kung Fu.
Now walking on the streets, you can still hear children talking about "Shaolin Temple" and saying that they want to go to Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts in the future. It seems so amazing!
But learning Kung Fu is not that simple. Cen Huaian and Bangzi just thought about it in their minds. They never thought that they could really go to Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts, and they never thought that they could learn martial arts.
Moreover, Cen Huaian likes to play chess more. The dream of Kung Fu is strongest only when watching movies. After watching it, as time passes, it is almost forgotten.
Now, when he heard his uncle say that he could learn martial arts, Cen Huaian suddenly remembered what he and Bangzi had thought at that time. How could he not agree?
Jiang Zhida immediately smiled and said, "Okay, you are worthy of being my cousin, you are a little man!"
Chuxia was a little worried when she heard the conversation between the two. She asked Jiang Zhida, "An An also has to learn Go. Will learning martial arts be too tiring?"
Jiang Zhida waved his hand and said, "It's not that you have to study every day. Even if you practice every day, you won't practice for too long. It won't affect it." Jiang Zhida
knows a lot of people from all walks of life. He knows people who really learn martial arts, and he also knows the upper class who only learn some self-defense and physical fitness. He has also learned it, so he naturally knows the ins and outs.
Chuxia was relieved.
Jiang Zhida took so much care of An An that Chu Xia had been thinking about how to thank her. After thinking it over, she found that he had everything he needed and had not shown any need for help, so she had to send him more food.
For example, beef jerky from the northwest and the Liangzhou specialties she brought.
Jiang Zhida actually didn't care about these things. He just liked An An and his second cousin's family, and they were all relatives. It was a piece of cake and didn't take much effort.
But Chu Xia remembered his kindness and thanked him, and he was not unhappy in his heart.
Jiang Zhida started looking for a suitable teacher after returning home.
Grandpa Jiang didn't know that An An was injured, but he knew it the next day.
Because the next day was Sunday, An An had to go to Grandpa Jiang's house to learn chess, and Chu Xia took him there by bus.
Although the two houses are located in different parts of Dongcheng District, it doesn't take long to take the bus. It takes about 20 minutes to reach the entrance of Grandpa Jiang's alley.
Chuxia supported An'an, and An'an hopped on one foot. The two walked slowly to Grandpa Jiang's house.
Grandpa Jiang knew that Chuxia and An'an were coming over today, and he couldn't sit still at home, so he started strolling at the door after breakfast in the morning.
There are many scholars with similar status to Grandpa Jiang living in this alley, most of whom are his friends. Seeing him at the door early in the morning, some friends invited him to their home to drink tea and play chess.
Grandpa Jiang refused, and said with a boastful smile on his face: "Today my grandson's wife and great-grandson are coming over, I'm waiting to pick them up, I don't have time to play chess or drink tea."
After saying this, the old men were curious, and they asked if his great-grandson was the one who sent him bookmarks and various calligraphy exercises?
"That's him. Didn't his parents bring him to the capital? Although he is a little young, he has some talent in Go. He wants to learn Go from me, so I let him come every weekend."
Grandpa Jiang didn't show off Cen Huaian in his tone, and he was still strict like a teacher, but who among those old friends couldn't hear his boasting!
Take the initiative to learn Go, and look for the young people around them, and there is no such request. They are all asked to learn Go, calligraphy and painting.
This Jiang Zhongmin is still as annoying as ever!
Waigong Jiang was showing off, and when he looked up, he saw Chuxia and Cen Huaian, who was even hopping on one foot.
He immediately lost the desire to talk to his friends and hurried over to the two of them: "Chuxia! An'an!"
"What happened to An'an?"
Although Grandpa Jiang was not young, he was in good health and walked quite well, even faster than Chuxia and An'an.
He had already seen the injuries on An'an's face and her swollen ankles. After all, her trousers could not cover them, so he could see them clearly.
Grandpa Jiang's expression of worry was genuine, and his eyes were filled with heartache. He wanted to reach out and see Cen Huaian's injuries, but was afraid to touch him.
"When Da Zi came over yesterday, he didn't tell me that An'an was injured!"
Chuxia also knew that Grandpa Jiang would know about this sooner or later, so she told him roughly what happened yesterday.
Grandpa Jiang frowned, with anger in his eyes: "Did the parents and the child apologize?"
Chu Xia nodded: "Yes."
Grandpa Jiang looked at Cen Huaian and asked him: "An An, does it hurt?"
Cen Huaian shook his head: "Grandma, it doesn't hurt anymore."
His tone was childish and well-behaved, and Grandpa Jiang hated the two bullying children even more after hearing it.
Encountering this on the first day of school, Grandpa Jiang even wondered if that school was not so good, and asked Chu Xia: "Should we transfer An An to another elementary school?"
Chu Xia didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Grandpa, no need, An An's head teacher is very good, a teacher who knows right from wrong."
Grandpa Jiang then said: "Okay, if someone bullies An An again, you let An An go to their principal. I know Xiao Qian's teacher, he will not fail to help."
Chu Xia said "OK" as he meant, but behind her back she signaled to Cen Huaian, asking him not to go to the principal easily.
Children's fights should be left to the head teacher to resolve. Teacher Fang is not the kind of snobbish and unreasonable person. If she can't handle it, it's not too late to go to the principal.
Following Grandpa Jiang to the door, Grandpa Jiang's friends who were standing there before also saw Cen Huaian's injuries and asked what happened with concern.
Cen Huaian lowered his head when he was looked at, with embarrassment in his eyes.
Soon everyone will know that he was injured in a fight, so embarrassing. He looked at the gate of his great-grandmother's yard and wanted to go in quickly.
Grandpa Jiang didn't want to explain a lot to his friends, so he just said "something happened", which made Cen Huaian's ears not so red, and no one would know that he had a fight!
Then Grandpa Jiang looked at Cen Huaian and said, "An An has been standing for a long time and is uncomfortable, let's go in first."
Cen Huaian's foot was injured, but his hand was not injured, so it would not affect his learning of Go.
They played chess, and Chu Xia was also doing her own homework in the study. The three of them did not disturb each other, and she and An An were learning very well.
Chuxia worked on the questions for an hour and came out to rest her eyes. She found that Grandpa Jiang had planted several more pots of flowers and plants outside, and they were all just sprouting.
She was drinking tea and looking at the flowers when the familiar voice of Zhang Lu came from the door.
"Grandpa! Mom and I are here to see you!"
Jiang Zhiguan, the eldest daughter of Uncle Jiang, stood beside her and smiled, with helplessness in her eyes: "Lulu, run slower!"
Grandpa Jiang heard the voice, but he was teaching An An how to play chess and did not move.
Chuxia stood in the yard and talked to them: "Cousin, Lulu, Grandpa is playing chess with An An."
Jiang Zhiguan saw Chuxia at this time. She was a different person from her mother. She didn't look so gentle on the outside. She had short hair and looked very neat.
"Sister-in-law! Oh, playing chess is good. I also want Lulu to learn calligraphy, painting, chess and so on from grandpa. Who knew that she hated these things the most and refused to learn them no matter what."
Jiang Zhiguan wiped the sweat from her head. As soon as she got off the bus, she ran after her daughter, and she was sweating all over.
Because she herself was not gentle enough, she wanted to cultivate a gentle daughter. Who knew that her daughter was even more naughty than she was when she was a child, climbing up the roof, climbing trees and catching birds. There was nothing she wouldn't do.
"Mom! I don't want to learn those, it's boring! I want to learn to play ball and swim!"
Zhang Lu had already run into the house. When she heard her mother's words, she leaned over the door and stuck her head out and said loudly.
"Your brother is playing chess, keep your voice down!" Jiang Zhiguan said to her.
"I know, I know." Zhang Lu quickly went back into the house like a little loach.
Chu Xia really liked Zhang Lu like this: "I think Lu Lu is good like this, she is as energetic as a little sun. I usually think An An is too quiet."
"Then it would be better if the two siblings can get back together."
Jiang Zhiguan walked to Chu Xia's side and looked at the flowers with her: "Did Da Zi send flowers? Every time he makes grandpa angry, he always finds a way to make him happy, and then make him angry again next time. I suspect he does it on purpose."
Chu Xia didn't fully understand the Jiang family's affairs, so she didn't express her opinion, but just smiled.
Jiang Zhiguan didn't insist on an answer, and pulled her into the house: "The sun is getting higher and higher, it's still more comfortable at grandpa's house, there are more trees, and it's cooler. Chuxia, I heard that you are going to take the college entrance examination, have you chosen a school?"
Chuxia knew that after she told the Jiang family that she was going to take the college entrance examination that day, she would not be able to hide it from the Jiang family.
She didn't tell Jiang Zhiguan that she wanted to study medicine. She hadn't taken the preliminary exam yet, and the number of places for the college entrance examination hadn't come out yet. It was too early to say all this, so Chuxia shook her head and said, "I want to wait until the results of the preliminary exam come out."
Jiang Zhiguan poured a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp: "Yes, your province still has a preliminary selection. It's useless to think too much if you can't pass the preliminary selection . Back then I..."
Before Jiang Zhiguan finished his words, he heard Zhang Lu's very surprised voice coming from the study: "An An, you actually fought with others?" When
Jiang Zhiguan heard this, he immediately got up and went to the study, and Chuxia followed him.
Jiang Zhiguan saw An An's look immediately: "Who beat him up? It's lawless! Chu Xia, is someone bullying An An on purpose? Tell me, I'll find friends to help you!"
Jiang Zhiguan was very angry. If you dare to bully the Jiang family, you should see if the Jiang family agrees!
Jiang Zhiguan rolled up her sleeves. Zhang Lu did the same thing as her and said angrily: "Brother An An, don't worry. I have many good friends. If anyone bullies you, I will take them to help you. You don't have to be afraid!"
Such a good brother An An was actually bullied. As a sister, she must help him get back on his feet!
Zhang Lu was not wrong. In their school, she was like a little sun, enthusiastic and righteous. Many children liked to play with her.
Even the kids in her neighborhood are her friends. No one dares to bully her.
