CH 14

Si Tian: …

Although she is the mother of two children now, she feels that she is still very young. Although strictly speaking, it is appropriate for Ji Ningyi’s classmates to call her aunt, but Si Tian said: “Let’s call it sister.”

Pei Jing’s face was a little confused, but he still said very sensibly: “Thank you, Sister.”

Si Tian pushed the envelope to him: “This is the money you deserve and others pay you it.”

Pei Jing only clenched the fifty yuan in his hand and his voice was slightly hoarse, but what he said was very clear: “If it wasn’t for you today, I wouldn’t get the money. Fifty yuan is enough for me and the rest should be given to you.”

Pei Jing’s stubbornness at this time changed Si Tian’s view. She thought that Pei Jing was pragmatic so he asked for money and she tried to get more money for him, but she did not expect him to have his own persistence in this regard.

Still a child after all.

Si Tian’s heart softened and said, “Then let’s do this, we’ll be half of us.”

Pei Jing said, “No…”

Si Tian bent her lips and smiled: “Ningyi said that you are his new tablemate, so I ask you to take care of Ningyi in school from now on.”

Pei Jing pursed his lips, and finally, took the money. His voice was low, but his tone was solemn as if making a promise: “Okay.”

The waiter brought over the new hamburgers and offered them a Coke.

Pei Jing said restrainedly, “Thank you.”

Ji Ningyi blinked. He did not expect Pei Jing outside the school to be completely different from the one in the classroom. In the classroom, Pei Jing was withdrawn and cold, like a little hedgehog, who would be stabbed if he touched it with his hands, but outside the school, he was much more polite.

Ji Ningyi said: “Pei Jing, try the Coke, it’s delicious.”

Pei Jing reached out his hand hesitantly, followed their example, inserted the straw into the small mouth of the lid, and took a sip.

Ji Ningyi’s eyes crooked as he smiled, his brows were somewhat similar to Si Tian’s, and he asked expectantly, “Is it good?”

Pei Jing swallowed it. It was a little spicy and a little sweet. He was not used to it yet, but it was a novel feeling, the first time in his life, Pei Jing nodded: “It’s delicious.”

He was biting a hamburger and drinking Coke. He felt that he was no different from these people, except that he did not have a father.

Pei Jing ate faster than Ji Ningyi and Ji Zhile and finished the hamburgers in three or five bites.

Ji Zhile had a half-eaten hamburger in front of him and he held a chicken leg in his hand. He was gnawing on it and there was some untouched food on the tray. It seemed that he could not finish it.

He rolled his eyes and said immediately: “Brother, you eat so fast, you can’t get enough of a hamburger, I’ll give you mine.”

Ji Zhile was very enthusiastic, picked up an untouched tender beef roll, and put it in front of Pei Jing. He blinked and looked at him expectantly: “Brother, you eat.”

Pei Jing had never met such an enthusiastic child before, so he was a little embarrassed. Just about to shake his head to refuse, he heard Si Tian sternly say, “Take it back.”

Pei Jing’s fingers trembled and he swallowed back the words in his throat. He held down his pocket. There was money in it and he preferred to buy food by himself.

How could Si Tian not know Ji Zhile’s idea? She sneered: “Ji Zhile, don’t forget what you said, if you can’t finish the food you ordered, you will take it home and eat it. What is it to give it to others to eat?”

He even said in a high-sounding manner ‘I will give you mine, you are not full’.

He was flamboyant at a young age, but when he grows up, he doesn’t turn out to be a good man. On the contrary, he is the most consistent and vicious supporting male character.

Ji Zhile pouted: “I am willing to give it to Brother and Brother is also willing to take it, as long as we both agree.”

Si Tianle felt that Ji Zhile’s wings were really hard, so he dared to block her with the words “as long as both parties are willing” she said just now.

However, as an adult, Si Tian naturally sees more clearly than Ji Zhile, a little Douding, that Pei Jing will not easily accept other people’s kindness. He has a pragmatic personality, but he has his own persistence in his bones.

Si Tian looked at Pei Jing and asked in a softer voice, “Pei Jing, are you willing to accept Ji Zhile’s kindness?”

In order to show that she is very fair, Si Tian added: “Just say what you think, don’t care about anyone else’s feelings.”

Ji Zhile looked at Pei Jing expectantly, hoping that he would eat that tender beef roll.

Pei Jing glanced at Si Tian gratefully, then met Ji Zhile’s yearning gaze, and said, “Thank you, Brother, but I want to buy it myself.”

After saying this, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Si Tian looked at Ji Zhile: “Did you hear that? It’s just your unilateral wish to take your things back.”

Ji Zhile pouted.

Si Tian added: “And you have half of the hamburger left. You have to take it back if you can’t finish it.”

Hearing this, Ji Zhile picked up the hamburger with the other hand, opened her mouth wide, took a big bite viciously, stared at Si Tian, ​​his cheeks puffed up, and said in a vague voice, “I can finish it.”

It’s just that a big bite is only in Ji Zhile’s imagination, the reality is that his mouth is only that big and his big bite only makes the hamburger suffer a slight injury.

Ji Zhile lowered his head, looked at the hamburger, and spoke in a low voice as if he was cheering himself up: “I can finish it, I can.”

Si Tian snorted softly and mocked: “Heaven’s sins are forgivable and self-inflicted sins cannot be lived.”

Pei Jing could not help laughing and got surprised looks from the other two children. Ji Zhile asked, “What are you laughing at?”

Ji Ningyi’s eyes were also a little puzzled.

Pei Jing understood. They did not know the meaning of Si Tian’s words, but he knew it. When he lived at his grandmother’s house, his grandmother often talked about it, but now Pei Jing did not want them to know, so he said, “I’m not laughing at you.”

He has never been in contact with such a family, not so loving and filial, and there is no relationship breakdown, but he thinks it is very good.

Si Tian snorted lightly and looked at Ji Zhile: “You deserve it.”

Ji Zhile’s eyes widened: “Ah, I’m angry!”

He was really angry. He was so angry that he ate a few bites of the hamburger like crazy again, chewing and chewing fiercely, but the last anger disappeared into the really endless hamburgers. Ji Zhile was dumbfounded, looked at Si Tian indifferently, and described it as pitiful.

Si Tian did not soften at all and very coldly asked the waiter to bring a packing bag. She packed all the things Ji Zhile hadn’t finished eating and asked Ji Zhile to carry them back by himself.

Ji Zhile wanted to cry very much. He had never carried a packing bag when eating out, but he did not dare not to do it.

Si Tian did not care about his feelings at all and instead asked Pei Jing: “Pei Jing, where do you live? Do you want us to take you back?”

Pei Jing shook his head: “No, thank you, Sister. I’ll just go back by myself.”

Si Tian nodded: “That’s good.”

Ji Ningyi looked up at her and said, “Mom, I want to send Pei Jing out, can I?”

“Of course, you can.”

When Pei Jing went out with Ji Ningyi, he had something to tell Pei Jing: “Pei Jing, I have the school uniform I used to wear at home. I can lend it to you to wear first. When your school uniform arrives, you can return it to me.”

When doing exercises between classes today, Pei Jing was the only one in the class who did not wear a school uniform, looking very conspicuous.

Ji Ningyi thought, if he was the only one in the class without a school uniform, he would feel bad too.

Pei Jing asked: “If you lent it to me, do you still have the school uniform?”

Ji Ningyi smiled: “I still have two sets.”

Pei Jing nodded: “Thank you, Ji Ningyi.”

Ji Ningyi said: “You’re welcome, we are at the same table.”

Pei Jing clenched his small fists tightly, as if he had made up his mind, and said, “I promised my sister to take care of you. If anyone dares to bully you in the future, you can tell me. I beat people very badly.”

After saying this, Pei Jing blushed a little, grabbed the strap of his schoolbag, and ran away.

He felt that there were very few places where he could take care of Ji Ningyi. Although he had only entered the new class for a day, he had already learned a lot. Ji Ningyi was very popular, so he should not be bullied. Those who would be bullied were those who had no friends.

It’s just that this is the only skill that Pei Jing can show. Ji Ningyi doesn’t seem to be able to fight, but he will.

But Pei Jing also knew that this was not an excellent skill, and he blushed a little after speaking and dared not stay any longer.

***

As soon as Ji Ningyi returned to the dining table, Si Tian just said: “Now, we are going home.”

Ji Ningyi took the initiative to speak: “Mom, I want to lend my original school uniform to Pei Jing, can I?”

“Of course, it’s your school uniform, you have the right to dispose of it.” Si Tian said.

“Thank you, Mom.”

The mother and the child were very happy and Ji Zhile was the only one who was unhappy. Ji Zhile took the unfinished KFC to the car and finally asked, “Why do we take the uneaten food home?”

Si Tian said: “Because it is very wasteful to throw away food before you finish eating it.”

Ji Zhile did not understand: “But we have money.”

Si Tian sneered: “Really? Then you will soon experience the feeling of having no money.”

Cultivate dolls from a young age and don’t let Ji Zhile grow into a rich second generation who only wastes money.

At this time, Ji Zhile still did not understand what it was like to have no money, so he asked the question that had bothered him for a long time: “Mom, why doesn’t brother Pei Jing want an apology and only want money?”

“Is it because he has no money?”

Ji Zhile’s tone was very innocent, Si Tian felt like an arrow had been shot in her chest. Although she is rich now, she is a person who has lived a hard life after all, and hearing Ji Zhile’s words was very unpleasant.

“It has nothing to do with whether Pei Jing has money or not. It’s his choice, as long as it doesn’t hinder other people.” Si Tian said, “If it were me, I would also choose to ask for money because it is more important to me. Everyone’s situation is different, just make the choice that you think is right.”

“And Ji Zhile, don’t tell people casually that you don’t have money in the future, it’s easy to get beaten up.”

Ji Zhile let out an ‘oh’, a little unhappy.

He was carrying a packing bag, looking out the window, experiencing a brainstorm in his little head.

Why does Mom want money? Is it because there is no money? Although his mother did not allow him to say it, he thought it was okay.

Ji Zhile remembered what the teacher said in his mind, that you have to work to earn money.

But Mom doesn’t work.

Ji Zhile suddenly realized a big problem. His mother asked him to pack KFC and take it home because she had no money.

Ji Zhile frowned slightly, thinking about a heavy question, whether their family is poor.
