"The teacher said that I kept having trouble learning the same questions and that I might not be used to her teaching style. So, for my own good, she transferred me to Class 3."
"Wait a minute, what do you mean you can't learn the same questions all the time? I remember your grades were always good in elementary school. Is your decline so obvious in junior high school?"
Although Qiao Zhengde wanted to take shortcuts, he was still very concerned about his children's education.
These days, people are not allowed to do business. If you want to have a good job, there are only two ways: either go to school hard or join the army when you grow up.
Joining the army is dangerous and the training is too hard. Qiao Zhengde only has one son, Qiao Xiaoguang. If there is a future for his son by going to school, he would not be willing to let his son join the army.
"Dad, I actually know all the answers to those questions. I told Yang Xiaoxiao that I didn't know them, but I was just pretending."
Qiao Xiaoguang felt a little regretful.
"What's going on in your head? You don't even know how to change the subject. How lazy are you?
I asked you to get close to Yang Xiaoxiao and try to win her favor, but you acted like a moron.
Let me ask you, which girl would want to play with a fool? "
Qiao Zhengde was extremely angry and scolded Qiao Xiaoguang.
"Dad, calm down. Let the child finish his meal first, and then you can teach him a lesson."
Qiao Zhengde's wife Liu Yajuan carefully persuaded the furious man.
"What's he going to eat? How dare he eat? He can't even handle this little thing. Forget about his future and just wait to be a factory worker!"
Qiao Zhengde got up from the dining table, sat on the sofa in the living room and started smoking.
Qiao Zhengde was still having sweet dreams yesterday, but today his eldest son brought him a bolt from the blue.
Qiao Xiaoguang had no appetite for dinner, so he followed Qiao Zhengde to the living room and stood in front of Qiao Zhengde properly.
"Dad, what should I do next? Should I still look for Yang Xiaoxiao tomorrow?"
Qiao Xiaoguang was still young. He had only admired Yang Xiaoxiao and instinctively wanted to get close to her, but he didn't want to pursue her.
But ever since Qiao Zhengde painted a rosy picture for him, Qiao Xiaoguang suddenly got the idea.
When Qiao Xiaoguang thought about having Yang Xiaoxiao as his wife in the future, his heart was filled with excitement.
"What the hell are you looking for? Behave yourself from now on and don't cause me any trouble.
Do you really think that transferring you to Class 3 was just the teacher's decision? If you really think so, our family will be in trouble soon.
Next time you see Yang Xiaoxiao at school, you should say hello, but don't be too obvious. Just let it flow naturally."
Qiao Zhengde is a very cautious person. Although he wants to take shortcuts, he is definitely not the kind of person who would act recklessly in a fit of rage.
Qiao Zhengde keenly felt that Mayor Xiao must be behind his son's transfer.
Although promotion and wealth are important, they are still far inferior to one's life and property.
…
Compared with the gloomy situation of the Qiao family, Yang Baiyi's side is much happier.
Dahuang and his friends brought two wild goats from the mountains. Yang Baiyi did not enjoy them alone, but took one to the agency's staff quarters.
We set up a stove in the yard and had an open-air barbecue. The fresh lamb was sizzling on the stove, and when cumin powder was sprinkled on it, the rich aroma spread from far away, and the children next door were so greedy that they cried.
"Mayor Xiao, we've arrived at an unfortunate time. You haven't eaten yet? Then you can eat first, and we'll report back later."
Several key leaders, headed by the deputy mayor, never took their eyes off the barbecue grill while they were talking.
"Okay, Lao Chen, stop pretending. If you want to eat mutton, just say so. Don't do this useless thing."
Xiao Qingyang gave a few old friends a cold look.
What about reporting work? Who reports with a bottle of wine in their pocket? If there's any urgent work, can't you report it tomorrow when you get to work?
"Old Chen, since you're here, let's eat something together. My eldest grandson brought a whole wild goat, and our family can't finish it all."
Mu Xue asked Xiao Fuxing to move a few more chairs out of the house.
Yang Baiyi didn't care how high their leadership positions were. He gave the first batch of grilled skewers to the women and children at home.
Those uninvited guests didn't have any objections. Good food is never too late. They came here to eat meat anyway, so what's the harm in waiting a little longer?
It was finally their turn to cook from the second furnace. As soon as Yang Baiyi put down the skewers, several people looked at Xiao Qingyang eagerly.
"What are you looking at me for? Is there a mutton kebab on my face?"
Xiao Qingyang picked up a skewer of lamb and blew on it. He took a sip of wine and a bite of meat, and every pore in his body felt soothed.
“It’s delicious.”
"It smells so good, it almost makes me dizzy."
"Mayor Xiao is so lucky! He has such a capable and filial grandson."
Some of the leaders were quite capable. They were eating skewers while saying compliments.
"If it's delicious, eat more."
Those who have the nerve to come here today are all Xiao Qingyang's most direct descendants.
It was originally just a family barbecue, but unexpectedly it turned into a team-building activity.
Children don’t eat much, so they are full after eating a few skewers.
"Brother, we're full. Can we play in the family compound for a while?"
"Godfather, I'm full too."
Yang Xiaoxiao and Lele held Junjun's little hands on the left and right.
"Take some skewers and go out to play, there are a few greedy little cats outside the door!"
Outside the gate of my grandpa's house, there is a surveillance camera that Yang Baiyi had set up early in the morning. No movement near my grandpa's house can escape his eyes.
At this time, there were several children outside the door, drooling, their nostrils opening and closing, sniffing the fragrance in the air frantically.
Yang Baiyi didn't know whose children these were, but they didn't cry or make a fuss, and didn't come in to disturb his family's meal, which showed that they were well-educated.
Anyway, the family members have almost finished eating, so let them taste the remaining skewers.
Yang Baiyi looked at the two tables and saw a lot of grilled skewers, which should be enough for everyone to eat, so he stopped.
"Grandson, come and have a few drinks with grandpa."
The position on Xiao Qingyang's right has always been reserved for Yang Baiyi.
"Okay!"
Yang Baiyi took the last batch of grilled skewers and sat down to Xiao Qingyang's right.
"Comrade Xiao Yang, your cooking skills are incredible. I almost swallowed my tongue. Come, to thank Comrade Xiao Yang for his hard work, let's toast to him together."
Deputy Mayor Chen took the lead and everyone raised their glasses.
Yang Baiyi drank three glasses of wine with them, then got up and went to the table with women and children.
They were talking about work, which Yang Baiyi was not very interested in.
A few people came over to eat the meat, and left the Xiao family after eating and drinking their fill.
"Grandson, next time we eat barbecue, let's go to Jinyun Villa. There are too many people in the family compound."
Mu Xue began to clean up the mess with her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
