take a break

It is self-blame and helplessness, and I deeply feel the hard work of being a parent.

Li Xuesheng's enrollment caused a huge commotion in the entire No. [-] Middle School of H City.

All the teachers and students in the school rushed to witness the demeanor of the "child prodigy".

As soon as it was time to end the get out of class, the entrance to Class 1 of Senior One was blocked.

Li Xuesheng had anticipated this kind of situation, and has always dealt with it calmly.

Occasionally, someone came to take a photo with him with a camera, and he would readily agree.

His good looks, friendly attitude, and warm smile left a good impression on everyone.

Chen Shuhua was extremely disgusted by the excessive enthusiasm of the crowd. He felt that his beloved was being coveted by others.

Every time he saw Li Xuesheng talking and laughing with others, he was very angry, but he dared not speak out.

He put Li Xuesheng under scrutiny 24 hours a day, even following him to the toilet.

When sleeping at night, he stuck to Li Xuesheng's body like a piece of brown sugar. No matter how Li Xuesheng persuaded him, he refused to return to his bed.

The two share the same table during the day and the same bed at night, and they are really together all the time.

Because of Shen Yixuan's special care, the school arranged Li Xuesheng and Chen Shuhua in a dormitory alone.

Li Xuesheng was very grateful for this kind of care at first, but now he feels that this encourages Chen Shuhua's clingy behavior and is not conducive to the cultivation of his independence.

Li Xuesheng knew that the experience of losing a loved one in childhood left a deep psychological shadow on Chen Shuhua, making him feel insecure all the time.

He really wanted to help Chen Shuhua, but he didn't know how to do it.

Currently, he can only let Chen Shuhua cling to him like a baby.

When Liu Chunhua learned that Li Xuesheng had been admitted to No. [-] Middle School in H City, she immediately happily went to the mayor to give Li Xuesheng a special subsidy.

The mayor happily agreed, thinking about how to publicize the "prodigy" in Pingqiao Town.

Liu Chunhua originally thought that Chen Shuhua and Li Xuesheng would return to the orphanage at the end of September, but she waited for half a month for no one, so she packed her luggage and went to City H to visit the two children.

She set off early in the morning, and it happened to be noon when she arrived at No. [-] Middle School in H City.

Chen Shuhua and Li Xuesheng had just finished class and were going to the school cafeteria for lunch.

Seeing Liu Chunhua coming, they were both very happy.

They invited Liu Chunhua to have a lunch with fish and meat, and then led Liu Chunhua to visit the dormitory.

Seeing that the school's room and board conditions were much better than those in the orphanage, Liu Chunhua felt relieved.

Liu Chunhua took out 40 yuan neatly wrapped in a handkerchief from her pants pocket, handed it to Chen Shuhua, and said, "This is the subsidy for both of you in October. The mayor asked you to go back next Saturday. He asked a reporter from the county TV station to come and interview him on Sunday."

"What kind of interview? What's there to promote?"

Chen Shuhua exploded immediately, his voice was as loud as exploding firecrackers.

"Xuesheng is smart. He is born well. What does he have to do with the mayor? He wants to make political achievements, so he won't hurry to get Pingqiao out of trouble? Don't use Xuesheng as an excuse!

"Tell him that we don't agree to be interviewed!"

Liu Chunhua looked at Chen Shuhua in surprise, she didn't expect that this usually gentle child would lose his temper.

She cast her eyes on Li Xuesheng and asked him with her eyes.

Li Xuesheng smiled and explained: "Since I entered the 'city', there has never been a day of cleanliness. Everyone is very curious about me, and reporters come to harass me from time to time. Xiaohua is very angry, afraid that these things will affect my study. The school specifically told me not to be interviewed by reporters, but to study with peace of mind."

Li Xuesheng's words were both true and false, but Liu Chunhua believed them all.

"Oh..." Liu Chunhua nodded and said, "I told the mayor that the school doesn't allow it. Even if he is unhappy, he can't say anything."

"Okay, sorry to trouble you!" Li Xuesheng said.

"However, what if the mayor cancels your subsidy because of displeasure?" Liu Chunhua worried.

"If you don't give it, you won't give it. I don't want his little money."

Chen Shuhua seemed to have taken dynamite, and his tone was very angry.

Li Xuesheng quietly stretched out his right hand, covered a small piece of skin around Chen Shuhua's waist with his thumb and index finger, and twisted it vigorously.

Chen Shuhua shivered in pain, gritted his teeth and remained silent.

"The mayor shouldn't be so narrow-minded, after all, he is also a leader. If he doesn't even have this kind of tolerance, he probably won't be a long-term official." Li Xuesheng comforted Liu Chunhua.

"The school gave me a subsidy, which is enough for me and Xiaohua. Even if the mayor really cancels the subsidy, we don't have to worry about food and drink. Don't worry.

"If he still gives us a monthly subsidy, you can collect it yourself and get everyone something delicious.

"Study here is very stressful. Xiaohua and I have to wait until the winter vacation to go back. You can tidy up the firewood house and give it to someone else to live in."

"If there is still a subsidy, I will save it for you. You will still have to go to college in the future, and there will be plenty of places to spend the money." Liu Chunhua said, "I will also keep the firewood room for you."

Liu Chunhua handed over the clothes and boiled eggs to Li Xuesheng, and got up to leave.

Li Xuesheng bumped Chen Shuhua with his elbow, and expressed his apology with his eyes.

Chen Shuhua hesitated, and said in a soft voice: "Mother Liu, I'm sorry, I shouldn't lose my temper with you."

Liu Chunhua smiled and said, "Mom didn't take it to heart. It's not easy for you to go to school outside. If you have something that doesn't go your way, just tell your mother. Mom has no education, so I can only listen to your complaints. If you have something on your mind , don’t hold it in your heart, it will be a pleasure to say it.”

Chen Shuhua nodded and said, "Let's take you to the bus."

"No, no, no." Liu Chunhua quickly waved her hands, "Hurry up and take a rest, you have class in the afternoon. I originally wanted to come on Sunday, but I was afraid that if you go back, I will miss it with you."

At Li Xuesheng's insistence, Liu Chunhua followed Li Xuesheng and Chen Shuhua all the way to the bus stop near the school.

Looking at the two children wearing the autumn uniforms of No. [-] Middle School in H City under the sun, Liu Chunhua felt infinite pride.

With anticipation for a better future, she left happily.

After returning to the dormitory, Li Xuesheng closed the doors and windows, and sternly reprimanded Chen Shuhua.

"If you get angry at me in the future, don't blow it up like firecrackers. This time it's Dean Liu, she won't argue with you. What if it's someone else? Wouldn't that offend someone?"

"I was wrong!" Chen Shuhua apologized honestly.

"Since you know your mistakes, you must correct them. Don't do it again in the future!"

"Ah."

Li Xuesheng looked at the docile Chen Shuhua, sighed, and said softly, "Did it hurt just now? Let me see."

Chen Shuhua immediately lifted up his shirt, and turned the pinched waist to Li Xuesheng.

Seeing a bruise on Chen Shuhua's waist, Li Xuesheng asked, "Does it still hurt?"

"If you touch me, it won't hurt me anymore." Chen Shuhua said coquettishly.

Li Xuesheng glared at Chen Shuhua, then stretched out his hand to gently stroke his wound.

Chen Shuhua squinted his eyes comfortably, that look of enjoyment, like a cat taking a nap in the sun.

Winter is coming, and the dead leaves of the trees are shivering in the cold wind.

Seeing that Li Xuesheng and Chen Shuhua's clothes were thin, Shen Yixuan went to the mall to buy winter clothes and shoes for them.

After buying the clothes, Shen Yixuan called the two to the vice principal's office and told them to try them on.

"You're really sorry for spending so much money on us." Li Xuesheng said politely, "We've been used to it since we were young, and we don't need to dress so thickly. These things are unopened, so you can take them back and return them."

"In the past, you had no conditions and could only suffer from the cold. Now that I am here, how can I watch you suffer this?" Shen Yixuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Hurry up and put it on."

Li Xuesheng shook his head and said, "You are kind-hearted, and you can manage us for three winters. What about after three years? We're not going to be frozen, and we can't afford warm clothes. Wouldn't that make us suffer even more?"

Shen Yixuan was stunned.

He really didn't think about this kind of problem.

"It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality." Li Xuesheng said, "We can't live too comfortably now, otherwise, the future will be very difficult."

Shen Yixuan stared at Li Xuesheng's moist jade-like eyes, from which he could see the maturity and vicissitudes that were completely inconsistent with that immature face.

He was so sad that he couldn't help blurting out: "Xuesheng, be my younger brother and let my parents adopt you!"

Li Xuesheng and Chen Shuhua looked at Shen Yixuan in amazement at the same time, their hearts fluctuated.

"For such an important matter, you'd better discuss it with your parents first." Li Xuesheng said, "Adopting a child is not a matter of impulse, you should calm down first."

Shen Yixuan did not expect that he would be taught a lesson by an 8-year-old child, and a strange feeling arose in his heart.

Regarding the issue of adoption, he really had a whim and was a little impulsive.

He hasn't asked his parents yet and doesn't know if they will agree.

He has not consulted a lawyer to know whether his family situation is suitable for adoption.

He didn't make any preparations, but hurriedly expressed his thoughts.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt extremely ashamed.

"I'm sorry, I'll call home in a while." Shen Yixuan said shamefully, "I didn't make thorough preparations, but I made such a request to you. I'm really sorry!"

Li Xuesheng nodded and comforted: "I have received your wish. Thank you!"

Chen Shuhua looked at Shen Yixuan who was sincerely apologizing, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

He didn't expect that the dignified vice principal would be so unassuming, and he felt a strange feeling in his heart.
