"A fight?" Seeing several children come back in disgrace, they didn't know where they rolled, their clothes were covered with mud, and there was a bruise on Sanbao's handsome face, Wei Jiajia felt that she didn't need to ask, they must have gone out again Got into a fight with someone else.
"Mom, it's not our fault this time. It's Wang Yaowen who failed Dabao and Sanbao in the exam. He didn't dare to come to us and actually held a grudge to let others bully Xiaoyi." Erbao felt that she was being bullied because of her little cousin. It's understandable that he would fight.
"Yeah!" Dabao and Sanbao nodded hurriedly, thinking they were right. Didn't mom say that? Xiaoyi is the younger brother and they have to protect him. And this time it happened because of them, Xiaoyi was innocently implicated.
Their little cousin was bullied, and the three of them would definitely go find someone to settle the score.
Wei Jiajia ignored them. She looked at Zeng Yi and asked, "Tell aunt, are you injured?"
Zeng Yi was worried that his brothers and sisters would be punished by his aunt for helping him vent his anger. He carefully looked at the gentle aunt in front of him, shook his head slightly, and then stretched out his little hand to hold Wei Jiajia's, "Aunt, don't punish your brothers and sisters. They didn't mean to fight, they were trying to help me."
Wei Jiajia raised her hand and touched Zeng Yi's little head and asked: "Then tell aunt, why did they bully you? Did they beat you?" The reason why the children were fighting must be clarified, that is, Zeng Yi was bullied. , she also had to ask why so that the children would pay attention in the future.
"No, they tricked me out of the classroom and took me to a corner. They made me lie down on the ground and learn how to bark. When I didn't obey, my brothers came when they were about to beat me."
Zeng Yi grew up with the three Dabaos. He has always had a good relationship with the triplets, and the children in the compound all know that they are cousins.
In the past few years, Zhang Huimin has not had any more children due to work reasons, and Zeng Guoqiang has also followed her. Zeng Yi is the only one in the family. Fortunately, there are triplets. He spends most of the day at Qiao's house, so he is not lonely.
But I don't know how he grew up. Compared with other boys, little Zeng Yi has a relatively shy personality and is more easily bullied. However, the children in the compound grew up together, and the triplets of the Qiao family were considered the king of children among their peers. Those who knew the relationship between them would rarely find trouble with Zeng Yi.
But few does not mean there is none. The small gang headed by Wang Yaowen often opposes the triplets. Whether it is occupying territory or recruiting younger brothers, the two parties are secretly competing with each other.
Wang Yaowen and the triplets are only one day apart in age, so they are also classmates. The two children, who had been compared by others since they were young, also began to secretly compete with each other in their studies and refused to give in.
The three children of the Qiao family have been good at studying since they were young, especially the two boys Dabao and Sanbao. The second baby is relatively inferior. In her heart, eating comes first, and the others have to take a back seat. The same goes for academic performance.
Fortunately, Qiao Haoyu and his wife do not insist on how well their children learn. As long as they pass the exam, the most important thing is that the children are happy, and they will not impose their own wishes on the children.
As for Wang Yaowen, although he was an only son and Li Linlin doted on him in every possible way out of guilt and allowed him to develop a domineering character, he was not actually bad-minded. On the contrary, he was actually very smart.
These children are in the same class, and they can maintain a superficial harmony even if they don't talk to each other on weekdays. But when it comes to exams, they all work hard to surpass each other. The top three in the class are basically eliminated. The three of them took care of it.
Every time the results come in, some people are happy and some are worried. The Qiao family was okay. No matter where the triplets got in the exam, Wei Jiajia encouraged the children as long as they were serious. But the Wang family was different. Every time Wang Yaowen didn't get first place, Li Linlin would always be very angry. She didn't She would get angry at him, but she would ask Wang Yaowen to continue working hard and not to be defeated by the three children of the Qiao family. She talked too much and made Wang Yaowen even more disgusted with the triplets.
No, in this final exam, Wang Yaowen only got third place. The first and second places were taken away by the two Qiao brothers. He felt uncomfortable. His domineering personality and his mother's constant indoctrination made him very uncomfortable. Convinced, but he couldn't do anything to them.
Later, he thought of Zeng Yi. Since I can't deal with you, then I will deal with your cousin and let out the bad breath in my heart.
He found a few people and promised them benefits. After letting people from Zeng Yi's class trick him out, they took him to a remote corner to humiliate him. This scene happened to be seen by other children and told the triplets. , and this was the beginning of the fight.
After Wei Jiajia knew the reason, she did not blame them, but smiled and said: "Yes, you protected your brother from being bullied. That's good. Today, my mother won't punish you to stand in the corner. You all went to wash up and change your dirty clothes." Mommy will make you a delicious treat as a reward."
Seeing several children running into the house happily, Wei Jiajia walked to the kitchen. She felt that the children did not do anything wrong today. If her younger brother was bullied, her older brothers would definitely be punished. Even Zeng Yi's character is still too soft. When Zhang Huimin comes back from get off work in the evening, she has to have a good chat with her. Now that the child is small, the softer will be softer, but it will still be like this when he grows up. It will be too easy for people to be out of society. Bullied.
We don't talk about bullying others, but at least we have to make ourselves look like we are not easily bullied by others.
While the children were away, Wei Jiajia took out a few bunches of grapes and washed them. She waited for the children to come out and gave them to them to eat first. Then she quickly started washing the meat and cutting vegetables.
When Qiao Haoyu and Zhang Huimin came back from get off work, everyone had delicious food and felt indescribably happy. Even the beautiful Sambo has forgotten the bruises on his cheeks, and he eats delicious meat and rice.
The three of them came back from work and saw the injuries on Sanbao's face. They also knew the reason why their children were fighting. No one criticized them. They all said that they fought well. Zhang Huimin and his wife even thanked the three children repeatedly. If it hadn't been for Sanbao, The twins, their son Wen Zou Zou, are still being bullied. This also makes the couple determined to train him well. Not to mention how much his personality has changed, at least the force is worth it. When others hit you, you You have to be able to fight back.
As a result, when the meal was only half-way through, there was a knock on the door of Qiao's courtyard, and there was a faint sound of someone yelling and cursing.
Wei Jiajia frowned, put down the chopsticks in her hands, stood up and walked out. In fact, she had already guessed who was knocking on the door.
Seeing Wei Jiajia's actions, the others stood up and followed her out, wanting to see what was going on outside.
Opening the door and seeing the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law outside and the child standing next to them who looked arrogant because he had family support, Wei Jiajia knew that her guess was right and thought that I haven't come to the door yet, but you are here instead. .
Seeing Wei Jiajia opening the door and coming out, the jealousy in Li Linlin's eyes flashed away. After all these years, she still hadn't changed much. She was as young and beautiful as when she first arrived, but a wrinkle had already appeared in the corner of her eyes.
Li Linlin maintained her identity and hid the jealousy in her eyes without speaking first, but her mother-in-law was different. When she saw Wei Jiajia, she said with an unhappy face: "Commander Qiao's family, look at your three children. How did you beat my Yaowen? Look at the injuries on his face. This is my good grandson. We have never touched a finger on him in normal times, but now he is beaten by your child. What do you think? What should I do?" After all, this old man lost the understanding and kindness she had when she first came to the compound because of her preference for her grandson day after day. She didn't care why his grandson was beaten. She only knew that she If your grandson is beaten, then that's not okay.
"What do you want to do?" Wei Jiajia asked with her arms folded.
"Of course I want to beat them up and let them know how hard they were beaten, so that they won't make such mistakes again in the future." She looked at Wei Jiajia's expression and continued: "Of course, that's it. It's up to you to take action. We won't help you educate your children. When it's over, let your three children come out to apologize to my family Yaowen and give my family twenty yuan for medical expenses." This was what she had thought about on the way here. Yes, her grandson suffered this, so she can't just let the Qiao family take it easy. After this, let's see if they will still cause trouble for her grandson every day.
Wei Jiajia hadn't spoken yet. Zhang Huimin, who came out and heard her remarks, was immediately shocked. She had never seen such a shameless person. How could she say it out loud?
Zhang Huimin couldn't hold back her bad temper. She rushed up and pointed at the old lady's nose, "What? You came here to rob me. Are you so poor that you haven't seen any money? You even apologized to your grandson. How dare you open your mouth?" Yes, then if your grandson bullies my child first, am I going to ask you for 50 yuan in mental damages? Why are you so big-faced?" Zhang Huimin felt depressed when she knew her child was being forced to bark like a dog. She was panicking. She originally thought that the children were young and had an imperfect sense of right and wrong, and they were also beaten back by the triplets. Forget it this time, she would hone her child's temper and let him learn to use fists to be less vulnerable. Bullying, I didn't expect that she suppressed her dissatisfaction, and her family even came to show her mercy.
The old lady was dumbfounded when she looked at Zhang Huimin who was pointing at her and talking nonsense. She only dared to say that because Wei Jiajia was a cultured person and was embarrassed to argue with others. In fact, she didn't care about the twenty yuan. She just wanted to teach the Qiao family a lesson, asking them to restrain their children and not bully their grandson all the time, but now from what Zhang Huimin said, it turned out that she was using her grandson's injuries to blackmail others.
The old lady was shaking with anger. This was the first time in all the years she had been in the compound that someone pointed her nose in and yelled at her. She used to look down on those women in the village who always acted like shrews and scolded them. She thought they were vulgar and uneducated. She disdained to associate with them. After joining the army, she was friendly to others. The discipline in the compound was strict and the quality of the military personnel was high. Everyone lived their own little lives every day. She never had any conflicts with others. Looking at the quarrels here because of As for the family members who gathered around and pointed, the old lady's temples were beating.
"You...you..." She pointed at Zhang Huimin, too angry to say anything.
"What are you, you, why didn't you say anything? Aren't you very good at speaking out? Let us beat our own children to vent their anger on your children. If you are so thoughtful, why don't you go to heaven? Have you understood the situation? It was your children who took the lead. We didn't settle the score with you because we are civilized. It doesn't mean we are easy to bully." Zhang Huimin didn't give the old lady a chance to speak. She questioned her loudly and also intended to tell the onlookers. , this time it's not her family's fault.
When Li Linlin and the others came, they didn't want to attract anyone's attention. They just wanted to use this incident to teach the Qiao family a lesson. Not only were their children competitors, but so were their adults. But she didn't expect Zhang Huimin to be so willing. As a cultural person from the city, what about her upbringing? How could she point at other people's noses and scold them like a shrew? If she publicized it so loudly, how would others view it if it spread out?
She hurriedly stood up and said to Wei Jiajia who was watching the show: "Comrade Wei, we are not here to quarrel, we are here to solve the children's problems. Although my mother-in-law said something unpleasant, the injuries on the children's faces cannot be faked, right? She also feels sorry for the child, and she doesn't really want to blackmail him." She must say this clearly to avoid being spread by others and affecting her husband's work. The national situation in recent years is not that words can do anything. of.
Wei Jiajia glanced at Wang Yaowen's face, which was covered with bruises. It was much more serious than her son's, but his skin was dark, and the bruises were not so conspicuous on his face.
She secretly murmured in her heart: These children don't slap people in the face, so why do they greet only two people? Are there not enough other parts of the body for them to perform?
She calmed down and said to Li Linlin: "Comrade Li, although it is wrong for my child to hit someone, there is always a cause and effect. If your son does not lead others to bully Zeng Yi, my child will not do it. Besides, my child He's injured too!" She waved to her youngest son who was watching the show in the back. When he ran over and stood still, Wei Jiajia pushed him forward and said, "Look at the injuries on my son's face, they are no worse than yours. Our children are much lighter, but even so, we don't want to cause trouble to your family!"
Sanbao's skin is as white and tender as his mother's, and any minor injury will be obvious. The bruise on his face is particularly conspicuous, and with the ointment applied by Wei Jiajia, his face looks even more scary.
Seeing the injuries on Sanbao's face, Li Linlin choked. Looking at her son again, she really couldn't tell who was seriously injured.
She calmed down and continued: "Three of your children hit one of my children. Isn't this bullying? Even if my children are wrong, you can't hit one of them!"
The Three Treasures were not happy with this, so why did they bully the few? He frowned and corrected, "Auntie, we don't have three against one, we belong to three against four. Wang Yaowen brought three people to help him at that time. We are missing one!"
The unspoken meaning is that your son is the one who bullies the younger ones.
Li Linlin was choked by Sanbao's words. Listening to the faint laughter coming from around her, she didn't know what to do for a moment. She felt a little regretful. She shouldn't have been impulsive and came to trouble the Qiao family without asking about her son's situation. Who would have thought that such a good thing would end up being her children.
Fortunately, Wang Jianjun arrived quickly and relieved his wife and mother. He strode over and said to Qiao Haoyu, who was standing protectively behind his wife and child but had not spoken a word: "I'm sorry, Captain Qiao, my mother and daughter-in-law didn't understand the situation clearly and ran away when they saw the child was injured. I came to your house to demand an explanation. This is their fault, and I apologize to you. I'm really sorry!"
He got off work late today and saw no one at home when he came home. After asking the neighbors, he found out that they had brought their children to Qiao's house. He hurried over here and happened to hear onlookers saying that his mother and daughter-in-law had run away. He came to trouble someone, but in the end it was his child who made the first move. This made him extremely embarrassed. He felt that he had bowed his head in front of Qiao Haoyu for nothing, but seeing the bewildered look of his mother and daughter-in-law, he could only hold on. Scalp stepped forward to apologize.
When Qiao Haoyu heard Wang Jianjun call him "Captain Qiao", he felt in a daze. Once upon a time, they were comrades who cherished each other, but now, they only have a polite name.
"It's normal for children to fight. It's reasonable for parents to love their children. My children are fine. It's just that your children bullied other people's children. I can't forgive them for this." Qiao Haoyu ignored it. Wang Jianjun was stiff for a moment, and then stood aside after he finished speaking.
After all, Wang Jianjun is now a regiment leader. At his age, he was able to climb up to this position step by step from the countryside through his own efforts. He is actually very proud of himself. He does not feel that he is worse than Qiao Haoyu and other military students. She was in the same position as him, or not as high as him, but today, he felt that Qiao Haoyu was throwing his pride to the ground.
He endured the humiliation in his heart and said to Zeng Guoqiang, "I'm sorry, Deputy Commander Zeng. The child is not sensible. I will definitely teach him a lesson when I go back." After saying this, he turned around and left without waiting for him to speak. , all forgotten.
Li Linlin's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law saw Wang Jianjun leave without looking back after he apologized. Knowing that he was angry with them, they did not dare to say anything more and hurriedly chased after him with their children.
"You offended him today, aren't you afraid that he will find an opportunity to retaliate against you?" Zeng Guoqiang knew that his friend just did what he did for his son, but he still felt a little worried.
"What do you think?" Qiao Haoyu glanced at him. Even if he didn't offend him today, their relationship was doomed when he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart after he married Li Linlin.
"Okay, no need to ask!" Zeng Guoqiang smiled, knowing that he was asking nonsense. He was not afraid of him. With their current relationship, they were indeed not afraid of this.
Seeing that everyone was gone, the two families turned around and walked home. They had only eaten half of their meals and were still hungry!
The children following behind began to murmur, and Dabao said, "I told you not to hit him in the face, as it would be easy to be discovered, but you still have to hit him." Fortunately, he was smart and hit places where he couldn't see.
Sanbao said aggrievedly: "He punched me in the face. I have to take it back. What if my face doesn't look good because of it? I feel so aggrieved when I see his face."
Erbao listened to the two of them arguing behind her, and shook her head like a little adult. She led Zeng Yi and strode into the house. Listening to their nonsense, she might as well go back and eat more meat.
