Cotton Balls

Meng Ru was so passionate about Song Shixia that Ji Ran couldn't get a word in.

"Xiao Song, where do you live? I can finally come to thank you in person."

Ji Ran quickly interrupted: "Teacher Meng, let's talk about this later. Let's get my sister enrolled first. I'm still in school. You can ask me anytime, anywhere."

Meng Ru slapped her forehead and said, "I'm sorry, I'm so excited. Let's eat first and talk while we eat. You still don't believe me, I will definitely help you get your sister admitted to school."

Song Shixia said appropriately: "Teacher Meng, what I meant is to apply for home-schooling and just be listed in your class."

Meng Ru looked at Song Shixia in confusion: "Don't you live together?" Ji Ran's family is well off, so can't they stay with him since they are such close relatives?

Ji Ran took the initiative to help explain: "She lives in the family area of ​​​​Yenching University, which is too far from our school, and she has children to take care of at home."

The more Meng Ru listened, the more distressed she felt. Having a child at the age of just over 20 must have meant that her family conditions must have been very difficult.

"Okay, but I still suggest that you take some classes at school to see if you can catch up."

Song Shixia looked to her elder sister for help, and Ji Ran comforted her: "No problem, our home is only six bus stops away from school."

She breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, Mr. Meng, I will study with you for a while, and then go home and study on my own when I catch up."

Meng Ru breathed a sigh of relief: "What will you do with your children during this time?"

"Currently, the child is taken care of by his father." Ji Weiqing only needs to pick up and drop off the child from school every day. He can eat in the school cafeteria. The three of them have returned to their previous life, that is, back to the days before she got married.

Every family has its own problems. Meng Ru didn't ask too many questions, but she couldn't help but feel sympathy for Song Shixia who was about to become her student.

She couldn't help but add one more sentence: "That's good. Can't we trouble the child's father to take care of the child? If you want to take the college entrance examination, you definitely can't stay at home every day to take care of the child and do housework."

Song Shixia smiled and explained: "It's my personal reason. I always feel uncomfortable returning to campus at such an old age."

Meng Ru understood what was going on. She felt that she had to explain: "Don't worry about this. I teach a repeat class. Some students are still in school after taking the exam for several years. There are students in the class who are older than you."

Song Shixia expressed her understanding and did not change her mind immediately.

Seeing her like this, Meng Ru didn't try to persuade her much. She thought that maybe she would like the school atmosphere after a few days of classes. It would definitely be easier for her to take care of her husband and children at home than to go to school.

There was too much food on the table for three people to finish, so Meng Ru packed up all the untouched food for Song Shixia.

"Take it. Don't be polite with me. Your elder sister and I are still off work early. It will definitely go bad if you take it back."

Song Shixia didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How could food go bad so quickly in autumn? She really wanted to refuse but had to accept it. She also wanted to go eat noodles later. She hadn't been to that old brand for a long time. It seemed that she had to go home directly.

Meng Ru took her to handle the formalities and quickly registered her at No. 9 Middle School. If it were an ordinary person, it would probably take half a day to run around to get stamps.

Her mother-in-law asked someone to help her with her school record. She did not even go back to her hometown and sent it directly to the capital. Due to some force majeure, many people's school records were destroyed or lost, so the school in her hometown re-established her school record.

Song Shixia held the warm file bag in her hand. Once she handed it over to the school, she would become a high school student again. If you ask her if she ever regretted dropping out of school to work, she would have regretted it a little, but she didn't regret it. If there was no Lingquan Space, she would have to drop out of school and work to survive without finishing high school.

"There are a few troublemakers in our class. Don't pay attention to them. Their families just send them here to get a degree. They don't listen to the class but they won't disrupt the class either."

Meng Ru got a headache when she thought of these students.

Song Shixia was not surprised. Every class has a few lazy students. They come from prominent families but don't like to attend classes, like to go against the teacher, don't study but have a bright future, and were born in Rome. Such people exist in every era, and Song Shixia didn't take it seriously.

She replied calmly: "I understand. I just want to focus on my studies and ignore them."

She went home with her new textbooks and told Ji Weiqing that she would be staying at his house temporarily and occupying his room, and might not be able to go home until Saturday and Sunday.

"Mom, are you going out again?" Ji Yuan hugged her thighs.

"I will be staying at my grandma's house and will be back on Saturdays and Sundays. If you want me, you can visit me at my grandma's house."

Ji Yuan puffed his cheeks: "Mom has her own family, why do you want to live in grandma's house?"

Song Shixia patiently explained to the child: "Because mom has to go to class, grandma's house is closer to school. If I lived at home, I would have to get up in the middle of the night to go to school."

"You stay at home and listen to your brother and dad, and wait for mom to come back and bring you comic books, okay?"

Ji Yuan's face showed seriousness: "I want to go to school with my mom."

Song Shixia hugged him with a smile and said, "No, Mommy wants to go to an adult school, and they don't accept children."

Ji Yuan could only ask his brother for help.

Ji Yang shook his head: "We have to finish elementary school and junior high school before we can go to high school."

Unable to go to school with his mother, Ji Yuan lost interest in eating and only ate two spoonfuls of the steamed egg with minced pork that he brought back.

Song Shixia didn't expect him to be so sad. She softened her heart for a moment and thought about taking him to her grandmother's house. He would miss the kindergarten classes anyway.

However, Ji Weiqing was not used to them. After taking them to the study and giving them a lecture, he never again insisted on following her to school.

He was probably the one with the calmest reaction at home.

At night, Song Shixia turned over to face him.

"What did you say to the children today? Why are they so obedient?"

"I told them to be more sensible and not to cause you any trouble."

Song Shixia didn't quite believe it: "Really?"

Her answer was that there was an extra person in the quilt.

She thought that she would not get into his bed when she went to school tomorrow, but she didn't expect that he would take the initiative today.

"What are you doing here?"

Ji Weiqing didn't say anything, just hugged her.

She reached out and poked his chest: "Are you reluctant to leave me?" She thought it was unlikely. The harmonious relationship between husband and wife only showed that he was a good husband with good character, but it could not prove how much he loved her.

After a long time, Song Shixia thought he had fallen asleep, and she heard a faint "hmm".

Does this person have a slow reaction time?

She poked him again: "Are you asleep?"

He held her arms tightly. Okay, he wasn't asleep. Could he be shy?

Once you accept this setting, no...Song Shixia couldn't imagine his shy look at all.

She followed her breathing to find his forehead, but accidentally touched the tip of his nose. Before she could say good night, he probably thought she was hinting at it, and a pair of hands slipped under her pajamas.

The former moved upwards cautiously in front, as if it had discovered a fun toy and couldn't let it go; the latter wandered around the flawless white jade back.

Song Shixia rested her forehead on his chest and chuckled: "Why do you look like a thief?"

He was silent but his breathing was disordered. His hot breath made her heart hot. She pressed herself against him, but he did not take the next step.

Suddenly, the world was spinning and the positions of the two people changed. Her pajamas were rolled up to her collarbone and were taken off in coordination with his movements.

He leaned on her and said in a whisper, "Make a button for your pajamas next time."

Her slender fingers were wrapped around the man's neck, her smooth and straight legs were hooked around his waist, and her voice was accompanied by a charming gasp.

"No, that would be too good for you." As she spoke, she used her arms to pull him down slightly and took the initiative to kiss him. Even though she was at a disadvantage, she still held the initiative in her hands.

It was no longer possible to tell whose breathing was whose. Song Shixia flapped his tail like a dying fish on the beach, trying to save himself, but he could not leave the heavy sand. No matter how he struggled, it was all in vain. In the end, he was exhausted and paralyzed into a puddle of water.

The soft cotton balls were topped with sugar beans, and the man had eaten a fruit that was sweeter than cotton candy today.

When Song Shixia opened her eyes in the morning, she saw that he was awake but didn't get up, so she hugged his waist.

"Are you feeling unwell? Weren't you very disciplined to get up early and run before?"

His voice was a little hoarse, sounding ambiguous and affectionate.

"You're not sick, you should get up."

Song Shixia went downstairs and found that he had fallen asleep. That is to say, he went out for exercise, came back after breakfast, and then lay down to sleep with her?

This can't be possible?

But the fact was that he had taken the children to school and had bought breakfast and was heating it on the stove.

She didn't have a suitcase and originally wanted to go to the attic to find her own large sack, but Ji Weiqing gave her his suitcase.

"The box is convenient. I'll help you carry it."

He wanted to send her to her mother-in-law's house, and Song Shixia did not refuse. When she was getting dressed, she found that her chest was horrible and a little swollen. If he dared not to treat her well, would he be worthy of her injured skin?

Han Rong was overjoyed when she learned that her daughter-in-law was about to enter school.

Ji Xueya was sitting on the sofa, crossing his legs and reading a newspaper. His reaction was average: "Look how excited you are. It's not like you're going to take the college entrance exam."

"I am happy. It is a foregone conclusion that Xiao Song will be admitted to university because he is smart. The key is that this is not about the university entrance exam. This is because our son and his wife have a harmonious relationship. I am happy."

Ji Xueya sneered: "I don't understand what this has to do with the relationship between husband and wife. Can a couple have a harmonious relationship if they go to university?"

"Don't you know what kind of person our third brother is? He married Xiao Song either because he fell in love at first sight for her looks, or because he wanted to use her as a nanny. I guess he is definitely not the first type. My daughter-in-law is willing to go to college to make herself outstanding, and the third brother personally sent her here. Doesn't that mean that the relationship between the couple has warmed up?"

Ji Xueya shook his head: "You think too much. Isn't the purpose of marrying a wife for the man to work outside and the woman to work inside? How can taking care of the children and cooking at home become a nanny?"

"Oh, that's easy for you to say. You don't cook, do you think it's easy for women to do housework at home? Isn't it like being a nanny to serve your mother-in-law and children all day long? Why can't women be the breadwinners? You owe your feudal thinking to being an old man. If you were 20 years old this year and said this, I wonder if you could find a partner."

Ji Xueya curled his lips and said, "I can't say anything better than you. You women are very good at talking. You can always refute whatever I say. You are worthy of being the friend of women in the street."

Han Rong snorted coldly and went to the kitchen to wash vegetables.

When Song Shixia came over, her father-in-law was playing chess with someone and looked very angry.

"You said she was so lovable when she was young. I fell in love with her at first sight. We have lived in peace for so many years. Why is she so unforgiving now that she is old? It would be wrong for me to say anything more."

The old man opposite me was concentrating on the chessboard and was just making perfunctory remarks.

"Women, when they get older, have bad tempers. If you don't coax them, don't eat the food she cooks."

Before Ji Xueya opened his mouth, Song Shixia greeted him warmly.

"Dad! We're back."

"Hey, your son and daughter-in-law are back."

Ji Xueya stood up and said, "That's right. My daughter-in-law is going to high school and will stay at home for a while."

"In high school? That's amazing. Your family is going to have another college student."

Ji Xueya said modestly: "It's enough to recognize the characters. I don't expect to be admitted to university."

"I can believe you that I'm going to high school just to learn to read?" Learning to read is enough for elementary school.

The two old men were joking with each other, and Yu Fang, who was listening from behind the window, seemed to be thinking deeply.

The neighbor's aunt said that she was forced to drop out of school. The teacher went to her home to persuade her parents, saying that she had good grades and sang well, and should continue to study. The parents asked the teacher in return, "Will you do the farm work at home?"

The aunt should be born in the 1960s. The eldest grandson is six years old and the youngest is four years old. The youngest daughter is getting married this month, and she still remembers this incident when she was a child.
