Vegetables and Fruits

Song Shixia has no good feelings towards Chen Jiao's relatives. This family is a weirdo in the original novel. Even though he has some friendship with Chen Jiao, he is unwilling to have anything to do with this family.

"I'm not familiar with Chen Jiao. For this kind of thing, you should ask someone to write a letter and send it to her. It will be much faster than me finding someone to pass the message."

Chen Jiao's mother wanted to say more, but the woman next to her rolled her eyes in disdain.

"We are all from the same village. It won't cost you anything if you bring a message."

Song Shixia pretended to be surprised: "You are? I haven't seen you in the village."

"I'm Chen Jiao's sister-in-law, just tell me whether you want to bring a message or not?"

Song Shixia shook her head: "Study is busy, you should just write a letter."

Chen Jiao's sister-in-law's mouth smelled of leeks. She spat on the ground.

"Mom, let's go back. The people in Songjia Village are too arrogant and won't help us."

Song Shixia grabbed her brother who wanted to come out and shook her head at him.

"Why don't you let me curse back? Didn't you see their attitude?"

Song Shixia said helplessly: "Brother, you are a big man and you quarrel with them. If they sit on the ground and cry, it will be your fault. And this happened in front of our house. How annoying."

Song Qiu Sheng was unwilling to accept it: "They rolled their eyes when they asked others to do something for them, and spit on the ground. How can they be in the same village as us?"

Song Shixia comforted her brother: "Don't be angry. It's not worth getting angry at such a person. Aren't all the people in Chenjia Village like this? It's not like we've known each other for the first time."

The night before leaving, Song's mother found her daughter and suggested that Song Dongdong go to the capital to attend high school.

"In our county high school, one teacher takes care of many students, and your brother can only get into a junior college at best. I want your brother to transfer to your high school. The teachers in your city are all university graduates, and they may be better teachers than those in the county."

Song Shixia had considered where her brother would go to high school before, but she never mentioned it because no one in her family cared. Other people's children went to county high schools, so maybe county high schools were not bad. Besides, in this era, there were no restrictions on repeating a grade or repeating a grade, so even if they failed the exam, they could start over.

Song Dongdong was so happy when he learned that he could transfer to the capital.

He said excitedly: "Sister, can I go to your place for free meals every day?"

Song Shixia ruthlessly broke his brother's fantasy.

"You think too much. I live a long way from school. You have to live on campus."

Song Shixia discussed with her mother to let Song Dongdong live in the school dormitory and take him to her home during the monthly holidays to improve his diet.

Song Dongdong was instantly discouraged.

"Live on campus. I don't want to live on campus."

He lived in the school dormitory during junior high school, in a large dormitory with more than 40 people. Every night, he could hear the sound of teeth grinding or other people's smelly feet. He finally got into high school and was about to leave, but he was forced to live in the school dormitory again.

Song Shixia said earnestly, "I lived on campus in the county when I was in high school, and I still have to live on campus when I go to college. You can't be different from others, right? Living on campus means you can sleep longer in the morning and go to bed earlier at night. That's not good."

Song Dongdong pouted: "I know living on campus means I can get up later, but I'm tired of hearing other people grinding their teeth and talking in their sleep and smelling their stinky feet."

Song Shixia was immediately happy: "High school dormitories all have eight people in a dormitory. If it really doesn't work out, I can rent you a house across the school."

Song Dongdong's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Eight people in one room?! Schools in the city are so good!"

"Our school is a new school, built only a dozen years ago, so of course it's good." The facilities are certainly not comparable to those of future schools, but compared to other schools it is already luxurious.

"I live on campus! Sister, if you had told me earlier that it was an eight-person room, I would have agreed."

The car was filled with large and small bags of vegetables, fruits, eggs, duck eggs, and sausages. Song Shixia and his brother repeatedly persuaded their parents not to bring any live poultry.

It was a hot trip and the smell of two poultry in the car was unpleasant.

Before leaving, Uncle Yao left behind a six-seater car, which was just enough for us to squeeze back home.

Normally, transfer procedures can only be completed at the start of the school year, but everyone in the admissions office knew Song Shixia, so they completed Song Dongdong's transfer procedures in less than half an hour.

The staff smiled and saw them out.

"When school starts, just bring the form from your new school and get it stamped."

Chen Jiao once again had a quarrel with her husband, and the trigger was still about his ex-wife.

"Jiaojiao, please help. Li Mengxuan has suffered so much. After all, she and I were husband and wife. I can't just stand by and watch."

Chen Jiao folded her arms and looked at him coldly. This was the man she had chosen.

"Huo Kai, I have said many times that Song Shixia and I have an average relationship. Why would I ruin our friendship for a stranger? She was kind enough to help me with my homework, but I turned around and took someone to get in through her backdoor. Do you think this is appropriate?"

Hawke felt overwhelmed.

"That's not what I meant. Li Mengxuan didn't ask Song Shixia for help for nothing. She must have brought gifts and asked you to help lead the way. Don't react so strongly."

Chen Jiao snorted coldly: "I don't have the ability to bring people in, you can find someone else."

"Jiaojiao, I know you're not happy about my contact with Li Mengxuan, but I'm your husband. Can you please be more open-minded and not get so upset at this time?"

Chen Jiao found it funny and ironic.

"You mean I'm narrow-minded and I'm jealous and won't help, right? Fine, whatever you say is what it is. If you want to go, go by yourself. Anyway, in your eyes, I'm just a stingy person."

Chen Jiao felt disheartened: "Also, you are my husband, but you have never been a qualified husband. You married me only because I can be your family's free babysitter and help you raise your children. You only have Li Mengxuan in your heart. Don't deceive yourself."

Huo Kai's heart skipped a beat.

"Don't talk nonsense. Li Mengxuan and I are a thing of the past. Tell me what's going on in your head all day. I don't think of you as a babysitter. You are the mother of two children."

Chen Jiao packed her schoolbag.

"You know in your heart that I don't want to quarrel with you today, so that's it."

Huo Kai quickly pulled her along.

"Where are you going? Don't run around in a strange place like you're in the capital."

Chen Jiao lowered her head.

"I'm going to the library to review. Maybe you don't know that you need to register for adult college. Oh, of course you don't know. You have never had me in your heart, even if you put me in the position of your wife."

Huo Kai stood there in a daze. Chen Jiao walked around him and opened the door to leave.

Huo Xuan woke up when her parents were arguing, and she heard everything in the house.

When she heard her father talking about her mother, she couldn't help but feel excited. Was her mother coming back?

She woke her brother up.

"Would you be happy if Mom came back?"

Huo Li lowered his eyes, "You are the only one who would hope to abandon our woman."

Huo Xuan disagrees.

"Mom must have her reasons. Anyway, I don't like my current mom. Did you sneak a peek at my mom at the last dinner? She's so fashionable. I wish she could attend our parents' meeting. Our current mom is outshined by my mom."

Huo Li's emotions did not waver at all when he thought of his biological mother.

"At least she washes our clothes and cooks for us, so we have enough food and clothes. Your own mother even spends your tuition money on clothes, so you like her."

Huo Xuan was caught in a dilemma. Her mother told her that she could start school a year later because she was young, but she returned to the city not long after buying new clothes. She and her brother chased the car for a long time but her mother didn't turn back.

"Don't mention her anymore. I won't recognize her as my mother. Someone who can cruelly abandon her own child can do it again."

Huo Li was young, but he was smart. Ever since his mother got on the car without looking back, he and his sister ran after the car with tears in their eyes. From then on, he no longer had a mother.

Huo Xuan tried to make excuses: "It's not as serious as you think. I think Mom must regret it. Forget it. I haven't finished my summer homework yet."

Having just mentioned her mother the day before, Huo Xuan met her fashionably dressed mother the next day.

When her mother brought a box of watercolor pens, Huo Xuan's eyes lit up instantly.

This is a foreign watercolor pen. It has twelve colors that can be used for drawing. It looks better than colored pencils! A girl in her class had a father who went abroad and brought back a box of watercolor pens. That girl became very popular.

"mother!"

Li Mengxuan didn't expect her daughter to recognize her. She couldn't help but wipe away her tears.

"Girl, do you miss your mother?"

When Huo Xuan saw her biological mother, she forgot the tragic experience of being abandoned before and ran into her mother's arms.

"I miss you! Mom, I miss you. When will you come back? I don't like my current mom."

Li Mengxuan thought of the important things she had to do, so she quickly wiped away her tears and forced a smile.

"What's the matter? Is your new mother not treating you well?"

"No, but I just like mom. Mom, you are so beautiful. That mom is old-fashioned. She is always mean to us and quarrels with dad. We don't like her."

Li Mengxuan was very proud. What was the point if Chen Jiao didn't help? Her own children were on her side. Chen Jiao could only be a free nanny in the Huo family and raise her children.

"Mom has something to ask of you this time. When you grow up a little bit, I will take you away, okay?"

Li Mengxuan had already made plans. If she could get a divorce this time, she would go out to develop her career. She heard that beautiful women out there could become big stars. It was too late for her because of her age. Since Huo Xuan looked 80% like her, she could give it a try.

Huo Xuan nodded heavily: "Okay! Mom, is there anything you need my help with?"

The mother and daughter came to Song Shixia's residence hand in hand with a good relationship.

"This is Aunt Song's home. My brother and I came here to look for that mother."

Li Mengxuan was standing at the door of Song Shixia's house. Feng Lian next door looked at her curiously. Who did Huo Xuan bring?

The door of Ji's house was not closed, and Song Shixia was in the living room busy preparing for tomorrow's school opening report.

"Hello, Comrade Song."

Song Shixia looked up in surprise, and was immediately surprised to see the person coming.

"What are you doing?"

Li Mengxuan had tears in her eyes and wanted to hold Song Shixia's hand as soon as she came up.

Song Shixia stepped back quickly, "Let's talk it over, don't use your hands or feet."

"Comrade Song, please help me."

Li Mengxuan cried and told a tragic story about how she was beaten by her husband from time to time and how her husband always insulted her after drinking.

The daughter next to him burst into tears.

Song Shixia stood there motionless.

"And then?"

Li Mengxuan was stunned with tears on her face.

"I...I'm here to ask Professor Ji for help."

I had severe stomach pain during my period today. I took ibuprofen but ended up having leg pain, a headache and drowsiness, but it didn't cure the stomach pain. Finally, I used a hot water bottle to relieve the pain. It's really strange.
