Chapter 117 the Zheng family couple
There were a lot of brothers and sisters in the Zheng Wentao family. There were two older brothers and one older sister. His parents lived with his eldest brother and rarely came to walk around on weekdays. Judging from the situation today, it was estimated that something had happened at home.
Wen tao, we are here today because we heard that feng is making trouble outside again. The results of the middle school examination are so bad that we didn't even get into the high school and technical secondary school. If we study dance seriously, it is a way out. But now that we heard that she had a conflict with someone else and that she was not going to learn dancing, we came over to take a look."
Zheng Heping, the Zheng family's father, was in his early seventies. He was in a good state of mind. He had a slight stoop on his back and was sitting on the sofa. He did not directly say that his daughter-in-law was wrong, he did not blame her in person for not educating the child well, he just told her about the situation with his granddaughter.
Zheng Wentao unbuttoned his shirt, sat down beside him, and looked at Li Xiaoqin with a frown, "What's going on?"
Li Xiaoqin pursed her lips before telling him, "Mingfeng had a conflict with a girl in the dance class a few days ago and stopped studying. I took a few days off from my teacher and taught her well at home. Minglong also helped persuade her. She has already gone back to class. The girl who had a problem with her is also a bit of a pervert. I guess she's been picking on her on purpose these days. Ming feng didn't say she didn't want to go to class, but just came back every day to complain to us."
Hearing what she said, Zheng Wentao's brows relaxed. Just go to class. He said to the two elders beside him, "Dad, mom, don't worry. We'll teach her well later. She's not mature and steady enough, and she doesn't know how to be tactful. It's common for her to meet people with different personalities in her studies. In the future, she will meet people with different personalities, and gradually she will understand."
Li Xiaoqin had explained to them just now, but Zheng Heping didn't say much. It was normal for the little girl to lose her temper. She had already gone back to school. It was mother zheng who took this opportunity to talk about Li Xiaoqin. The atmosphere in the living room was so stiff because she, as a mother, had failed to teach her children well. Then she found out what happened decades ago and compared her children to zheng mingze.
Li Xiaoqin had been used to it for so many years. Her mother-in-law had been saying the same thing every time she came to the house for more than ten years. Every time she listened, her heart was filled. She let her say it, and she didn't talk back. When she said she was tired, she would leave.
"Well, since Mingfeng has gone to class, don't say anything more. Wen tao, there's another thing we're here for today. Mingze got into the graduate school of Beijing university. We must celebrate. While you're not busy, let's pick a good day to have a banquet." This was another big event for the two of them today. Although their son was divorced and their eldest grandson was with their former daughter-in-law, their grandson had a good relationship with the two of them. They had to make this decision for him.
"Dad, mom, xiao qin and I have already discussed this matter. The banquet is to be held. We have decided not to put it at home, but to go to the restaurant outside to treat us."
Zheng Wentao said that, but he hadn't discussed it with Li Xiaoqin yet. They had been together for so many years, or else they wouldn't have gotten together in the first place. He knew that she must have been wronged just now, so he helped her out on this small matter.
Li Xiaoqin's eyelashes trembled and he said, "Dad, mom, that's exactly what we mean. The house is not so spacious, plus the weather is too hot, and there are many children during the summer vacation. If the children among the guests play back and forth and bump, it is not good, we might as well go to a spacious restaurant to feast. When the banquet is over, my family will come to the house and sit down together. What do you think?"
After all these years of marriage, she knew that Zheng Wentao cared a lot about her eldest son. Zheng Mingze came over twice a year for the new year's festival, had a meal, sat down and left. He rarely talked to her, and talked to Minglong every time he came. She also knew that he didn't like her. After all, she was the one who broke up his parents'marriage, but it was useless to talk about it.
Mother zheng loved Zheng Mingze very much, and Li Xiaoqin's arrangement made sense to her. She nodded and agreed, "Okay, just do what you want. Mingze is the only graduate student in our family and the most educated descendant of our Zheng family. You should pay attention to this banquet. Be polite and don't let people look down on us."
Mom, don't worry about that. We'll get this done. We'll pick a good day and send out an invitation tomorrow." Zheng Wentao was a businessman, and the most important thing was his face. His son gave him a good reputation, and he was eager to put the banquet on the table.
Li Xiaoqin had no problem with this either. She would not let anyone else have any chance to make a fuss about the situation. Now that the family was not short of money, it was appropriate to make the banquet polite.
The Zheng family couple decided on a date and a restaurant with them and went back after a few words of advice.
Zheng Wentao sent them away and called the restaurant to book a table. Then he told Li Xiaoqin about what happened outside today, "I saw her today."
Li Xiaoqin did not react for a moment. It took him a long time to understand who he was talking about. He bit his lip. "Where is she?"
"I saw her at the authentic cantonese restaurant in Chaoyangmen. She's with a few girls. They should all be her classmates."
Zheng Wentao felt terrible. His eldest son was the first graduate student in the family. His second daughter, who was raised outside, was actually better than him. His youngest son, Zheng Minglong, also had good grades. He might be able to get into a famous school in the future. He could have enjoyed his children's happiness for the rest of his life, but now...
Just as Li Xiaoqin was about to speak, footsteps came from the door. She looked sideways and saw that her youngest son was back. She immediately stopped talking, looked at her watch and asked with a smile, "Minglong, why are you back a few minutes late today?"
Zheng Minglong put his schoolbag on the sofa and called out "Father" and "Mother" with a smile before answering, "I met my brother when I came out from the teacher's house. He also went to a classmate's house today as a guest. The other party happened to live in the same neighborhood as the teacher, so we talked for a while on the way back and delayed a bit."
The brother he was talking about was Zheng Mingze, and their half-brothers were getting along quite well. Zheng Mingfeng and Zheng Mingze's relationship became very weak, and they walked away every time they saw him shouting at the most.
Zheng Wentao asked him, "Why didn't you ask ming ze to come over for dinner?"
"I did. He said he had to go to a classmate's house to get something later. That classmate's house is a little far away. It takes an hour by bus, so he didn't come over." Zheng Minglong also knew that his brother didn't like to come home, which was because of his mother, so he didn't come, so he didn't insist.
Zheng Wentao said "Yes," then asked him about his studies. During the summer vacation, he also signed up for a tutorial class and went to the teacher's house every afternoon for classes.
Not long after, Zheng Mingfeng, who was in the dance class, came back.
During dinner at night, Zheng Wentao asked about Zheng Mingfeng's dance class and did not reprimand her. Instead, he took the opportunity to teach her a few words and break it off with her bit by bit.
Zheng Mingfeng answered with his mouth open, but whether he heard it in his head was another matter.
Li Haitang and the girls went to the Kfc in the evening. They waited in line for only ten minutes to buy the western-style fast food that everyone was thinking about. After eating, they packed a family bucket and went home for supper.
After playing at the tourist attractions in the capital for two days, the five returned to the provincial capital with their luggage.
Half a month before school started, she and Zhou Yunyang did a very meaningful thing: the two of them jointly donated a large number of books to the alma mater Tam city 1 middle school. Inspired by this incident, Li Haitang also donated a thousand books to the Ping shan middle school in his own name, and also donated two thousand yuan to build a basketball court, badminton, table tennis court and other schools, along with a batch of sports equipment.
This matter was entrusted to Mr. Tang, and president Wan was especially happy about it. Before school started, he had hired people to work overtime to build the stadium. Although there was a big gap between the schools in the city, it was already very good in the rural schools, just in time for the new semester to be put into use.
After all the things in the shops were arranged, Li Haitang went north with his luggage under the advice of his relatives and friends and started his first year of military training in college.
