Chapter 27. Twelve is worse than dancing(1/2)
Fortunately, the adults and children in the wing were quarreling, and no one except them heard this.
The meal started at noon at twelve o'clock, and Xuezhu was called back to her parents and sat down.
In order to save trouble, Lao Meng gave a banquet for teachers and made a treat together. The head teacher Lin raised his glass to speak. The old teacher who was about to retire was full of pride and praised his disciple for his outstanding performance to the guests present.
"I dare say that in terms of self-discipline, Yu Ning is definitely the most strict student I have ever encountered in the past forty years of my career. No matter which subject I do, I have done the best. I have never worried about any subject. I am smart, humble, and capable. In addition-" Teacher Lin looked at Meng Yu Ning, and his strong and powerful voice suddenly rose. "I look like a handsome talent. I know that many female classmates will secretly come to my class to see him when they are finished."
How could a teacher not see any signs of shy thoughts between boys and girls?
Beautiful and immature, but it makes the bystanders feel as if they were young.
Now that they have graduated, the teachers' attitude towards this kind of thing has long changed. Regardless of the result or not, it is a wonderful memory.
Sure enough, the guests laughed.
After being exposed by the teacher, Meng Yuning had no choice but to lower his eyes and pretend that he didn't hear anything.
The atmosphere was relaxed, and Lao Meng was also smiling when he heard it. Xu Qin beside him pouted and pinched his arm, and whispered: "I haven't studied for a few years, but I gave birth to a son who was admitted to Peking University. Are you sure he is his biological child?"
"Isn't it my child or you?" Lao Meng gave Xu Qin a blank look, "I told you that he looks like his grandfather. His grandfather was a teacher before he retired and had a smart mind."
"Then it's all your father's credit?" Xu Qin curled her lips and asked in a tender voice, "Meng Yunjian, do you think if we were born, will we be able to get into Tsinghua University in the future?"
Lao Meng smiled with his lips: "Take it down, just a mother like you who only knows how to dance at the disco every day can teach her son who goes to Tsinghua University?"
The smile on Xu Qin's mouth disappeared instantly and she pushed the man hard: "I can't teach you? What kind of intellectual did your wife be? Isn't it just like you who worked for the boss? Didn't Meng Yuning be born from you? Today I didn't even come to eat the top wine of my son. I think I've found a new man and forgot you and your son completely."
"Are you finished?" Old Meng frowned, lost his patience and gritted his teeth in a deep voice, "If she really comes today, you won't make a fuss? Do you want Meng Yuning to call your mother or her mother?"
"You!" Xu Qin said that, her feet hidden under the table stomped hard, making her feet numb and hated her heart, "I never expected your son to call me mom. After all, it was the belly of another woman. Of course, he looked down on me, stepmother. If I had given birth to a child myself, I would be worried that no one would call me mom?"
After saying that, he glared at Lao Meng with dissatisfaction.
"I will make it clear to you on the day you get the certificate. If you feel wronged with me, you will break up."
Lao Meng took a sip of wine and was too lazy to waste his talk with Xu Qin.
Xu Qin was stunned and lowered her head and didn't know what she was scolding.
At this time, the head teacher finished talking about Hua and handed over the conversation to Lao Meng, asking him, the father, to say a few words.
Lao Meng was suddenly named, and stood up in a daze with a wine glass in his hand.
After holding it in for a long time, I didn’t think of any educational speech. I can only thank my relatives and friends for coming here today and wish you all good food and drink.
I don’t know who shouted: “Lao Meng will share with us your experience of educating children. Let us parents learn and learn from each other, and try to send their children to Peking University too!”
"Yes! Share it!"
"Don't be stingy!"
Lao Meng had no choice but to say: "Actually, I really don't have any experience. I, a father, have never taken care of him much. It's just that he is doing his best."
The guests were yelling that they didn't believe it. Several neighbors familiar with Lao Meng's family did not follow suit and looked at each other tacitly. The smile had deep meaning and helplessness, but no one could tell it clearly.
Without delving into these things, this top wine is still quite lively.
At half past one, guests left one after another. Old Pei and Lao Zhong from a building stayed to help clear the accounts with the hotel. The cleaner took a table of plastic and packed the leftovers.
Xuezhu and her brothers and sisters were playing blackjack on the clean table, waiting for the adults to finish their work.
Song Yanping handed the □ in her hand to Lao Meng: "Click to see if there is any error."
Lao Meng was dizzy after drinking a lot of wine, shook his hand and said, "Let Xu Qin order it."
"Is there a calculator?" Xu Qin took it.
"There is a front desk," said Song Yanping, "Then you order, we will take the children home first."
"Well, go slowly." Lao Meng said, pressing his temple.
Song Yanping turned around and shouted to her daughter who was playing poker: "Xiaozhu, I'm back home."
"Zihan is back home."
"Yueyue, I'm leaving."
Several families were about to leave together.
"Each table adds 350 snacks and drinks per table. Today, so many people came to add two more tables," Xu Qin lit the calculator in her hand, constantly returning to zero, and her brows became tighter and tighter. "Meng Yunjian, you don't have enough salary for a month!"
Lao Meng waved his hand with a cigarette in his mouth and said, "Forget it, I'll only invite it a few times a year."
"I think some people don't even get a penny of red envelopes, and they're eating and drinking for nothing," Xu Qin spread her hands, "Look at how many red envelopes I received, and how much I can make up for them."
Lao Meng frowned: "That red envelope is for Yuning Jiao University's tuition."
"Oh, the red envelope is paid for your son's tuition, so the money for the wine will be wasted," Xu Qin sneered, "I told you that if you don't have money, don't make it so big. You haven't got anything. It's better to buy some cigarettes and alcohol for your director to send it!"
"What are you saying? Is it called "Is it a waste to get a child into college?" Lao Meng's tone gradually grew higher.
"That's your son, not my son. Is there any benefit for me to prepare so much?" Xu Qin reached out and pulled into Lao Mengyi's pocket, "Take out the red envelope and I'll do it."
Lao Meng pulled Xu Qin's hand away: "I said it was because I paid the university tuition fee, so why did you move?!"
Xu Qin was pushed back a few steps, turned her head and looked at the families in the same unit before she left. She couldn't get over her face for a while, and she was so angry that she shook her hands and feet. She gritted her teeth and replied with a grimace: "Your son is almost eighteen and has his hands and feet. You can't earn the tuition for college by yourself? Do you have to get it from you? Not long ago, I found the MP4 from Digital City in his room. The 400 yuan MP4 is more expensive than a table of wine today! Who knows how much money your son secretly saved himself and where did the money come from? Maybe he is richer than you, the one in his pocket now."
This is extremely unpleasant, and Song Yanping couldn't help but speak out: "If you two have any conflicts, you should talk carefully when you go home, and you will lose face if you quarrel outside."
"Ning Ning said less when he held a drink today, don't make the children unhappy." Lao He also came forward to be a peacemaker to persuade him to make peace.
"It's him Meng Yunjian who doesn't want to be faced first," Xu Qin couldn't listen to anything. He pointed to Meng Yuning, who was quiet beside him and said to Lao Meng, "Meng Yunjian, please ask where your son got so much money first. If you have so much money, you don't know how to take it out. Just pointing at you, who is my son, what's wrong with paying it! It will cost so much money to send your son to college. If I give birth to another one, Meng Yunjian, wouldn't you feed my child rice bran?"
"Aunt."
Meng Yuning suddenly spoke.
The clean sound sounds a bit inconsistent in this situation.
"That money is my annual New Year's money. I used it for myself as living expenses. I bought a lot of tutoring books in my third year of high school, so after graduation, there are still more than 400 yuan left. You can use the red envelope to make up for the banquet."
He quietly stated how his money came from and how he spent it, and also gave a statement of compensation.
I didn't argue with my stepmother, nor did I care about where the red envelope should be used.
Xu Qin was stunned.
"You can work part-time in college, and you don't have to worry about tuition fees," Meng Yuning curled her lips sarcastically, and her eyes were faintly unexcited. "If you want to have a baby, just give birth, my dad can afford it."
His concessions made Xu Qin, who had just been chaotic, instantly turned into a mute, and an embarrassing feeling rose from the soles of her feet. He heard the neighbors' slightly reproachful sighs. His face was hot, embarrassed and embarrassed, and he wished he could disappear from here on the spot.
They are all upstairs and downstairs, and they look up every day and look down. At this time, no one can blame them.
The only child present who was ignorant of the world had the courage than everyone present at this time. In Xuezhu's eyes, she could not compare to her thoughts of venting her anger for her brother at this time.
Xue Zhu loosened her mother and held her hand.
"Xiaozhu, where are you going?"
The next second, she ran to Meng Yuning, and he was still sitting on the chair. Xuezhu could easily cover his ears without tiptoing.
She is now quarreling with her brother's stepmother, so her brother cannot listen.
"Auntie," Xuezhu took a deep breath. She had never been so ignorant in front of adults. She said loudly, "That MP4 was bought by my brother and gave it to me as a birthday gift. If you want it, I will give it to you. And those red envelopes are given to my brother by others for congratulations to him on his college entrance examination. Even if it is not used as tuition, it is his money. You are not qualified to get it. Brother is Uncle Meng's son. Our teacher said in class that parents have an obligation to support their children. If they don't raise children, it is illegal. Therefore, Uncle Meng should spend money on his brother, and you are not qualified to complain. Even if you have a child now, the children you have may not be as good as your brother and can still be admitted to Peking University!"
The child did not use words that were too complicated, and the sentences were simple and easy to understand. Xu Qin responded almost immediately. I wonder if it was because Xue Zhu's parents were present, so they could only stand there to receive Xue Zhu's "education", and could not say a word.
Twenty seconds after this passage was said, Song Yanping spoke up a lesson from her daughter: "Xiaozhu, why did you talk to your aunt? Why don't you apologize to your aunt?"
Xuezhu curled her lips, stuck out her tongue, and said in a low voice: "Auntie, I'm sorry."
It would be better not to apologize than to apologize, and Xu Qin's face turned even worse.
After apologizing, Xuezhu let go of Meng Yuning's ears and then took Meng Yuning's hand: "Brother, you go home with us first."
Meng Yuning suddenly came to his senses from what she said just now. Although his covered ears did not isolate the sounds from the outside world, Xu Qin's words just now seemed to have been blocked by her small body. The soft temperature in his palm made him subconsciously hold his sister's hand, and at this moment he switched to her role, nodding in a low and gentle voice.
The families are really planning to leave now.
Lao Meng said in a lukewarm voice: "Xu Qin, think about it yourself, is it embarrassing to lose it."
Xu Qin was not willing to give up and muttered: "The university tuition is expensive. How much does he earn part-time jobs? We still have to pay it."
"Tsk."
This sound was made by Zhong Zihan.
Anyway, he is the second youngest here.
So he turned around.
"Auntie, don't worry, I can work part-time with Yu Ning to earn tuition, and I will never spend a penny on you."
He Zhengyue, the third youngest, also said: "I will graduate and find a job next year. Ningning is my younger brother. I am happy to pay his tuition. Auntie, don't worry."
Lao He and Lao Zhong said a few perfunctorily, asking Xu Qin not to take the children's words to heart.
Xu Qin's face turned pale and she was so silenced that she had no place to vent her.
***
When I walked out of the hotel, Xue Zhu realized that the sun was shining in the sky this afternoon and the weather was so good.
It's so boring to go home with such good weather.
