Mr. Fang finally swallowed the piece of braised pork, smacked his lips in satisfaction, and then he looked up at his son:
"Look at you, you are so lucky! Your son cooks for you! It's so rare that this dish is so delicious! It's much better than your mother's!"
The old man praised her again without hesitation and stepped on his wife.
Mrs. Fang slapped the old man on the side, scolding him: "Eat your food! You talk too much!"
But looking at the table full of food, the old lady's eyes were full of pride.
Lu Qingyang felt a little embarrassed by his grandfather's praise, and said quickly:
"Grandpa, you are exaggerating. This is just a simple home-cooked meal. We are short on time today and don't have any particularly good ingredients. Let's eat it now. Next time, when you have a rest, I will prepare it in advance and make a good meal for you two elders and your parents!"
His tone was sincere, not polite. There were a lot of good things in the space, and he was worried that he would not have the chance to take them out to replenish his family.
"Is this called a general?" Fang Zhongwen finally couldn't help it and picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth.
He had no time to talk, but just nodded repeatedly. Every flavor was just right, far better than the big pot meals in the cafeteria, and even more to his taste than the products in many state-owned restaurants.
"Your grandfather is right. Your craftsmanship is truly unique."
After Fang Zhongwen finished eating, he nodded with satisfaction:
"By the way, Qingyang, is Xiaoting adapting to the school here? Do you want to talk to the principal of Yucai Primary School and let her transfer there? The teaching quality there is the best, and the children of cadres all go to school there."
"Xiaoting came from the countryside. You know, the teaching in the countryside is not that good. She just barely caught up in the ordinary primary school. If she goes to a better primary school, I'm afraid she won't be able to keep up with the homework. It's good to be here. It's close to the yard and it's convenient to come back."
Shen Mo also nodded repeatedly: "The schools nearby are pretty good. Xiaoting said the cafeteria there is also good."
Speaking of Shen Ting, Mr. Fang thought of Uncle Shen.
"Next time, ask your grandpa to come over for dinner. We can just eat here from now on so we don't have to cook. It'll be more lively with more people. It'll be boring to stay in the yard. Big girl, you can also help Xiaoting with her work. We are all one family and we shouldn't be so divided."
Shen Mo nodded: "I will tell them."
After finishing their meal, she and Lu Qingyang prepared to go out for a walk to visit their grandfather and others.
Uncle Shen was digging in the flowerbed with a hoe. When he saw the two of them coming, he said happily:
"Hey, why are you here?"
Chen Mo smiled and placed the cakes, malted milk and other supplements she brought on the table in the yard:
"I've eaten, Grandpa. I'm going to take a walk after dinner and come to see you. I'm afraid you're bored."
"How can I feel bored?" Uncle Shen waved his hands, full of energy and a satisfied smile on his face.
“When I first moved here, I was a little bit worried because I had no one to talk to and it would be lonely.
Hey, now I realize that my worries are unnecessary! There are so many old friends around here, all of them are warm-hearted, and often come to play chess, chat, or go out for a walk in the park together. "
He pointed at the flowerbed and said, "This is a good place for me to stretch my legs and kill time! Life here is quite comfortable, much more fun than being alone in the countryside guarding a large yard."
"How is Xiaoting? Are you used to everything here?"
"She's used to it. She's doing her homework in her room now."
Shen Mo wanted to say hello to her and gave her two bags of sugar.
Hearing the noise, Xiao Ting turned her head and forced a smile on her face: "Sister, brother-in-law, you are here."
Although the voice was clear, the eyes were evasive and the smile was forced.
Shen Mo keenly noticed her sister's abnormality.
She walked to Xiaoting and habitually wanted to touch her head, but her eyes involuntarily fell on Xiaoting's arm as she rolled up her sleeves to write.
Under the dim light, on the outside of that thin arm, near the elbow, there was an obvious purple bruise!
Shen Mo also knew Xiao Ting's personality. Under her guidance these days, she has become more cheerful.
But the shadow of the past is always there. She has a weird personality and likes to be alone, which makes her have few friends.
Xiaoting saw that she had discovered it, and tears flowed down her face involuntarily: "Sister, I miss Jinfeng and the others."
Shen Mo patted her shoulder: "놖땣 I understand, then 땣 can you tell 놖, how did your arm get injured?"
"Nothing, 늀놆 fell down by himself."
Seeing her evasive eyes, Shen Mo knew it wasn't that simple.
"to be honest."
Xiao Ting just lowered her head. "After school, I met a few girls from other schools. They said that my hair ornaments were pretty and wanted to take them away. I didn't want to... I started fighting with them, but I was very upset. They didn't get any benefits either. They were even worse off than me!"
"The leader was sitting on the bed crying, with a tooth mark on the back of her hand! Another one was hugging her leg and jumping, saying that it hurt so much from the kick! Their schoolbags fell off, their stuff was scattered everywhere, and then they ran away cursing!"
After listening to Xiao Ting's record of "one against three", Shen Mo nodded in agreement with great satisfaction:
"Well done! If they want to bully you, you have to fight back and never let them take advantage! Our Xiao Ting is not someone you can easily bully!"
"Damn..." Xiao Ting scratched her head. She had no appetite for food just now. "They said they would sue our parents."
As soon as the words fell,
Just as he finished speaking, the wooden door of the courtyard outside the door was slammed "bang bang bang", and a sharp and angry woman's voice penetrated the door and came in clearly:
"Open the door! Open the door quickly! Come out!"
Then another equally exasperated voice said:
"This family of yours! That's right! Come out! What kind of wild child did you raise? Look at what you have done to your daughter."
"Are you still being reasonable? You are a jerk born of your mother but never taught by her! Come out and apologize! Pay for the medical expenses!"
Xiaoting's face turned pale, and her body subconsciously shrank towards her sister. The little courage she had just built up seemed to be frightened away by the fierce momentum, and her eyes were filled with anxiety again.
Lu Qingyang's face also darkened.
You tried to bully a child but got punished instead, and you still have the nerve to go to the parents to make trouble?
"Xiao Mo, stay in the room with Xiao Ting, don't let her go out, go and take a look."
"Qingyang, be careful." Shen Mo was a little worried.
"Don't worry, know your limits." Lu Qingyang turned around and strode towards the door.
He didn't open the door immediately, but responded through the door:
"Who's outside? What's going on? Please speak politely. If you keep banging on the door and yelling, disturbing the neighbors, I'll call the neighborhood committee."
Then, the sharp female voice sounded again, snorting coldly: "You are from the neighborhood committee, you can sue them! Your child hit someone, and you still don't care."
The gate creaked open.
There were three middle-aged women with aggressive looks standing outside the door, along with two crying little girls and a sullen little girl.
녊놆The three that Xiaoting described.
The leader was a fat woman with curly hair and wearing a new Dacron shirt. She had her hands on her hips, a face full of flesh, and glanced fiercely at Lu Qingyang who opened the door.
The chubby little girl next to her did have a small bruise on her arm, which looked much lighter than Xiaoting's. There was also a shallow tooth mark on the back of her hand, and the skin was not even broken. At this moment, she looked into the room with resentful eyes, looking for Xiaoting.
The other two women were dressed similarly. One was holding her daughter's wrist, which had a red mark on it; the other was pointing at her daughter's calf, which had a footprint on her pants.
"Look! See that?"
The curly-haired fat woman pointed at the bruises on her daughter's arm and the teeth marks on the back of her hand, spitting and yelling at Lu Qingyang:
"That uneducated little bitch of yours was so cruel! He is so vicious at such a young age! What will he be like when he grows up? You must give us an explanation today! Pay the money! Apologize! Let your little bitch come out and kowtow to your daughter and admit his fault!"
