Early the next morning, Zheng Jiawen spent one silver dollar to buy three catties of pork, a tin box of Italian biscuits, two pieces of French chocolate, and two catties of white sugar, and hurried to Wang's house in the alley.

When she arrived at Wang's house, little Wang Yue put on clean clothes and carried a schoolbag made from old clothes on her back. Seeing Zheng Jiawen, she happily greeted her at the door.

"Aunt Tao~"

Zheng Jiawen put the things down with a smile, touched little Yueyue's head and said, "Yueyue, have you had breakfast?"

"Yes, my mother made white rice porridge, which is delicious."

"Miss Tao, here we come."

"Sister-in-law, just call me hidden from now on, Miss Tao sounds weird."

"Okay, I'll tell you to hide from now on. Have you eaten in the morning? I'll get you porridge." Aunt Zhiming had a smile on her face. She was so excited that her daughter was able to study that she didn't fall asleep yesterday.

"Okay, I'm hungry." Zheng Jiawen said and picked up the things on the ground and followed into the house.

"This is a snack for Yueyue, and there are three catties of pork." Zheng Jiawen put the things on the table.

"Oh, you just gave us ten yuan yesterday, which is enough for us for more than three months. Why spend money on these things?" Zhiming's wife put the porridge on Tao Yin's table, looking at the bucket of biscuits and chocolates My heart felt distressed, "Your money didn't come from the strong wind. The teacher earns a lot, but he can't afford you to spend like this. I am already very grateful that Yue Yue can study. These snacks eaten by rich people are really delicious." There is no need to buy it, as long as you can eat enough."

"Kids, they always like to eat some snacks." Zheng Jiawen said, opening the iron lid of the biscuit bucket, took out a biscuit from inside, and handed it to Yueyue, "Come on, Yueyue."

Wang Yue glanced at his mother, and took it under her helpless gaze.

"To be honest, Yinzhi, don't buy these in the future, it's too expensive." Zhiming's wife put a bowl of dried radishes in front of Tao Yinzhi.

"Understood, I will buy less in the future." Zheng Jiawen picked up the chopsticks with a smile.

After eating, Zheng Jiawen looked at his watch. Yes, she put on the watch Hou Shuyi bought for her this morning.

"It's getting late, sister-in-law, I'm taking Yueyue to school." Zheng Jiawen stood up.

"Can I go along with you?" Zhiming's wife put down the rag, "I just know the way, so I can pick Yueyue up from school this afternoon."

"Okay." Zheng Jiawen nodded with a smile.

"Then you wait for me, I'll go change clothes." Zhiming's sister-in-law said and went to the back room to change into clean but slightly whitish clothes.

When they arrived at the school, Zheng Jiawen led Yueyue to go through the formalities, and took out the money to pay the tuition.

"Yueyue, you must study hard." Seeing Zheng Jiawen and the principal filling out the enrollment form, Zhiming's sister-in-law quietly pulled her daughter aside and told her, "Mother just asked, your Aunt Tao is here for 30 yuan a month." , I could live a good life at first, but now I have to save food and money for your schooling, you have to remember the great kindness, and learn to show yourself, you know?"

"I know, mother." Wang Yue nodded sensiblely.

Zheng Jiawen walked over after finishing.

"Sister-in-law, it's all done. I'll bring Yueyue into the classroom."

Zhiming's Wife heard the words and said quickly: "Okay, okay, you go, you go quickly, I should go back too."

Zheng Jiawen smiled and took Wang Yue's hand into the classroom.

The arrival of Wang Yue made the children in the classroom whisper to each other. Almost all of them are from well-off families who can go to St. Lacey Primary School. When they saw a child wearing coarse clothes coming in, they were all talking.

Zheng Jiawen took Yueyue's hand and came to Zheng Xianglan's side.

"Yueyue, come, sit next to this sister." Zheng Jiawen said and looked at Zheng Xianglan, "Lanlan, my little sister is six years old and it's her first time to go to school. Take good care of her. If you don't understand in studies, you will." Teach her, and take her to play after class."

Zheng Xianglan curled his lips, glanced at Zheng Jiawen and remained silent.

"Why this expression? I was scolded by your aunt this morning?" Zheng Jiawen pinched Zheng Xianglan's nose.

"No." Zheng Xianglan refused to accept, how could she be scolded by A Niang for being so obedient.

"It was my aunt who said that she wouldn't let me talk to you if she didn't nod her head."

Zheng Jiawen's smile disappeared when he heard this.

"Your mother really said that?"

"Hmm." Zheng Xianglan glanced at Zheng Jiawen as she said, she must have been bullied by her husband, after all, Auntie treated her husband so well in the past.

Zheng Jiawen took a deep breath, that's all.

"Your mother means that you don't talk to me outside the school, but how can there be any reason for a student to ignore you in class?" Zheng Jiawen raised his hand and looked at his watch. There are still twelve minutes before class.

"My little sister's school uniform and books won't arrive until tomorrow, so you can read the books with my sister today, okay?" Zheng Jiawen and Xiao Xianglan discussed it.

"Okay." Zheng Xianglan said and put the book in the middle.

This made Zheng Jiawen very satisfied, the adoptive daughter was very kind.

"Then can I give this semi-automatic pencil and this writing brush to my sister? The writing brush she brought is bald and unusable. I will take you to buy it in the afternoon, okay?" Zheng Jiawen regretted, why didn't she think of it yesterday? Buying stationery for Yueyue.

"No." Zheng Xianglan's little hand was pressing on the semi-automatic pencil at this time, "My aunt just bought this for me." The semi-automatic pencil is a new thing, and it just came out of the department store the day before yesterday.

"Look, my sister didn't take anything. What kind of painting did she take in the second painting class? Then she will be scolded by her husband. Help me. Give this pen to my sister. After class, I will buy you two." Branch, how about it?" Zheng Jiawen discussed with his daughter.

"Since when did you become so generous?" Zheng Xianglan curled his lips.

"Are you okay?" Zheng Jiawen asked for Xiang Lan's consent.

"The writing brush can be given to her. I only use the semi-automatic pencil once, so I don't want to part with it." Zheng Xianglan said as he took out a small box from his schoolbag and poured out a charcoal pencil.

"Give this to her. I used this charcoal pencil to draw when I didn't buy a semi-automatic pencil before." Zheng Xianglan said, handing over the charcoal pencil and giving two pages of paper as a gift, "Use this paper to hold the charcoal pencil when drawing, or draw My fingers are all black."

"Thank you, sister." Wang Yue stretched out her small hand to take it, but she didn't understand why Aunt Tao asked her sister to give her something from this sister?It's embarrassing.

"That's fine, Yueyue, use this first, and I'll buy it for you after class." Zheng Jiawen said with a smile.

"Sir, is this little sister your daughter?" Zheng Xianglan asked curiously.

"What are you talking about? Xiao Yueyue is my classmate's daughter and best classmate. So, do you want to help me take care of my sister?"

"Why should I take care of her? I'm only one year older than her. Maybe I'm not a year older than her birthday." Zheng Xianglan felt that she couldn't take on this job, and she was obviously still young.

"Didn't my sister just come here? She needs to make up for her previous studies. She doesn't know much about the school environment. She doesn't know where the toilets are or where the playground is. As an enthusiastic classmate, do you want to take care of her?" Zheng Jiawen was talking. When he said that, he heard someone knock on the door.

Zheng Jiawen turned around and looked, stunned, why did Hou Shuyi come?

"Why are you here?" Zheng Jiawen's heart was beating suddenly.

"You came to ask me for leave." Zheng Xianglan pouted.

Zheng Jiawen was full of question marks when he heard the words, and walked out slowly.

"Tell Xiang Lan, tell her not to talk to me." Zheng Jiawen closed the door of the classroom, "Why do adults have to involve children?"

Hou Shuyi's little thought was shattered, she was only a little embarrassed for a second, then she smiled and said to Zheng Jiawen: "If you don't want to get involved, you have to get involved, this matter has something to do with the children, after all, they will live with me in the future, and I don't like it." You are involved with them."

"You..." Zheng Jiawen choked for a moment, it was too hurtful to tell the truth like this, and he didn't know how to be euphemistic.

"I don't mention it beforehand, I heard from Xiang Lan that you are here to ask her for leave today?"

"Hmm." Hou Shuyi said and took out the leave slip from her bag, "Please sign it?"

"No, what are you going to do?" Zheng Jiawen took the leave note and hesitated to sign it.

Hou Shuyi glanced at Zheng Jiawen happily when she heard the words, and said slowly: "Mr. Tao, don't you know what you are doing? Besides, I will ask Lan Lan for a Friday, and I will be back next Monday. I will leave Tao for a day." Are you not allowed, sir?"

"It's a day off from class, unless you write down the reason for the leave on the leave note." Zheng Jiawen just wanted to know why this person took the child.

"Are you pretending to be ignorant, or have you forgotten?" Hou Shuyi folded her arms and looked Zheng Jiawen up and down, "Or, your memory of this love affair has declined?"

Zheng Jiawen pursed his lips and remained silent, but he was thinking about what day Friday was, but he couldn't think of it.

"Isn't Saturday your grandma's [-]th birthday?" Hou Shuyi asked with narrowed eyes.

Zheng Jiawen's eyes widened, she really forgot.

"My life is a bit messy lately. I, I forgot." Zheng Jiawen said and looked at Hou Shuyi, "You, are you going back too?"

"Hearing what you said, I shouldn't go back? That's right, after all, we have nothing to do with each other now, but to disappoint you, it was your mother who personally wrote to ask me to take the child back to celebrate his birthday. Now, what else do you have? Do you have an opinion?" Hou Shuyi replied with a cold face

"No, how can I have any objection!" Zheng Jiawen said and signed the leave slip, "Well, have you bought the bus ticket? If you haven't, I will buy it together in the afternoon. Let's go back together."

"I'm sorry, Uncle Xu came to pick up my child and me. We don't take the train. Mr. Tao can buy a train ticket and go home." Hou Shuyi took out the leave slip, turned around and was about to leave.

Zheng Jiawen heard the words and hurried forward to stop him.

"What do you mean? Since Uncle Xu is coming, why should I buy a train ticket? Are you, you don't plan to let me go with you?"

"That time I heard in front of the mansion that you took care of all your expenses when you were away. Uncle Xu drove the family car. Do you want to take it?" Hou Shuyi looked at Zheng Jiawen.

The tendons on Zheng Jiawen's forehead were about to explode.

"Although you want to sit, I don't dare to stop you, and Uncle Xu doesn't even dare, but I think a person must have a backbone, and even a foreign-style building can't live. Are you afraid of going back by train?" Hou Shuyi said without stopping for a moment, Turn around and leave.

Zheng Jiawen bit his lower lip, watching the woman in front of her twisting her waist and walking in the corridor, taking the train?joke!

bell......

At this time, the class bell rang, Zheng Jiawen took a deep breath, turned and opened the classroom door, and strode towards the podium. Tomorrow, she must take Uncle Xu’s car back to defend her face as the second miss of the Zheng family. She will never compromise and take the train. no way.
