Chapter 158 What does it mean?
There’s nothing more exciting for kids than summer vacation! It’s two full months of free time to play, explore, and enjoy life.
However, before this moment full of hope and longing, there is always an insurmountable obstacle - the final exam.
"Zhong Ruyi, if you fail the English test again, I'll really beat you up."
When Ruyi was in school, the English course did not start in the first grade, but was a new subject added after the third grade. Although Ruyi's grades in Chinese and mathematics have always been good, her English has not been very good.
"Oh, I see. It's so annoying. Why do Chinese people have to learn bird language? Isn't it better to speak human language?" Xiao Ruyi complained to Darong with an impatient look on her face.
"Hey, you naughty kid, if you keep talking back to me, please don't." Darong was making dumplings in the house and pointed at Ruyi threateningly with a rolling pin.
Ruyi curled her lips, took her schoolbag and went to the coffee table in the outer room to do her homework.
"After you finish your exams tomorrow, go directly to your second uncle's house, and then go to your grandmother's house with them. Your father and I will also go there after get off work in the evening."
"Hmm... yeah..."
When Darong heard Ruyi's words from the inner room, she stood up from the stool.
"Zhong Ruotong, what did you say? Are you crazy?"
Ruyi looked at Da Rong, who was standing at the door with a rolling pin in her hand, with a confused look on her face.
"Ah? What's wrong?"
"Who did you learn to curse from, you damn girl? Who are you calling a bitch?"
Darong's hands were shaking with anger, and she launched a barrage of high-energy attacks at Ruyi.
"What? Didn't you tell me to study English well? Isn't that what the English teacher taught me? I don't understand why it's so ridiculous. That's what the teacher said!"
Ruyi stiffened her neck, frowned, and retorted to Darong with an unconvinced look on her face.
Darong stood there in confusion. Darong was born in 68 and was the last student in Yutian who did not have to take an English exam. Therefore, Darong had never taken a serious English class since childhood. For a moment, she didn't know how to respond.
"Just wait till I come back and ask your uncle. If you dare to learn to curse, I will smash your mouth."
After the mother and daughter confronted each other for a few seconds, Darong said something harsh and went back to the house to make dumplings.
After being scolded by Darong, Xiao Ruyi, who already hated English, simply put away her English book and took out a math exercise book to do the exercises herself.
"Ruyi, how did you do in the exam?" After the exam the next day, Xiao Jindan caught up with Ruyi from behind.
"Oh, don't mention it. I must have failed in English again. My mom will nag me when she gets home. It's so annoying." The English test in the afternoon went surprisingly well.
"You go home first. My mother asked me to go to my second uncle's house. Wang Jing and I will go together."
"okay."
After separating from Xiao Jindan, Ruyi went to Zhong Yunhong's house with another female classmate.
"Ruyi, how did you do on the test today?"
Zhong Yunhong and Wu Meifeng were both resting today. Seeing Ruyi's expression, they knew that she must not have done very well in the exam, so Zhong Yunhong opened his mouth to tease her.
"Anyway, I've answered all the questions. I don't know if I did well in the test, but I'll definitely have no problem surpassing Jixiang."
Jixiang has been a simple-minded child since childhood. His hands-on ability far exceeds his learning ability, so his grades have not been very ideal since he started school.
Ruyi's words were just the competitive spirit of a child, but Zhong Yunhong and Wu Meifeng both seemed extremely embarrassed. Only Jixiang was still happily playing with her sister.
"Mom, I'm hungry."
Wu Meifeng didn't want to go to Erdaohezi too early, so she took Jixiang and Ruyi to play at home for the whole afternoon, and they didn't set out until almost five o'clock.
"Eat less to fill your stomach. Let's go to grandma's house now." Zhong Yunhong said to Jixiang after hearing him complaining about being hungry.
Wu Meifeng got up and took out a McDonald's hamburger from the refrigerator, then glanced at Ruyi standing beside her.
"This hamburger has salad dressing in it, it's a bit smelly, but your brother loves it."
In fact, Ruyi never complained of being hungry from beginning to end. It wouldn't have mattered if she didn't say it. Saying this made it seem more deliberate.
Ruyi smiled politely. She had never eaten KFC, so she didn’t have any expectations for McDonald’s.
Wu Meifeng heated the hamburger in the microwave and handed it to Jixiang.
However, Jixiang was very practical and loved his sister. He took a pancake and a bag of noodle sauce from his own dining table and ran to Ruyi.
"Big sister, are you hungry? My mom said that your family is worthy of eating this, so you should eat some too."
Never tell the truth in front of children, especially when your children are innocent enough.
Ruyi looked up at Zhong Yunhong who was looking at Wu Meifeng, then looked at Wu Meifeng who had a complicated expression, and just said softly: "I'm not hungry."
In fact, many times, a child’s growth always happens in corners that we are not aware of. Ruyi seems to have once again understood what the gap in living conditions means.
Ruyi never told Darong what she said that day, but since then, her English grades, which were her only weak point, began to improve by leaps and bounds.
After dinner in the evening, the family sat on the kang in the east room, chatting and watching TV. Jixiang Ruyi and Xiao Xiangrui were in the yard, following Father Zhong to light grass to repel mosquitoes.
"Yunsheng, is there an English word called 'deerbi'? What does it mean?"
Darong suddenly remembered what Ruyi said last night and asked Zhong Yunsheng.
"Ah?" Zhong Yunsheng was stunned by Darong's question. Although he did not get into university, his English grades were always very good when he was studying.
“Hahaha… Is it the sentence pattern of 'There be'? Sister-in-law, you are making me laugh to death… Hahaha…” Zhong Yunsheng suddenly burst into laughter after reacting.
At Ruyi's current age, he should have just started learning sentence patterns, and the only 'dead word' he can think of is 'There be'.
When Zhong Yunsheng laughed like that, Darong couldn't help but laugh along with him. She really didn't know what that was, but as long as Ruyi wasn't learning to swear, it was fine.
Life always has many sides. If you avoid the trivialities, there will always be some warmth and harmony. The scene of the family sitting together and joking and laughing at this moment is very much like the TV drama "A harmonious family brings prosperity."
Xiaoping has never gone out to work since she got married, and the family's life depends on Xiaogao alone to take care of it, so during that period, Xiaoping's life always seemed stretched.
Although Darong's life is not easy, as long as Xiaoping brings the child to her home, she will always try her best to prepare more things for the child. She and Wu Meifeng are two completely different people.
"Sister-in-law, I want to discuss something with you." Before Xiaoping came that day, she sent her child to Mother Zhong's house and then came to Darong's house alone.
