章節 32: Breakfast With Love!
編輯: Henyee Translations
Ding Hong tugged at his blanket.
"It's indeed not easy, but it's not easy for everyone these days."
"Which one of those people who buy vegetables in the market doesn't wake up early and stay up late?"
"Let's talk about your husband, me. I walk around every day. People usually wear a pair of shoes for three years, but I've worn out the foundation of my shoes in a year."
Ding Hong was still a very rational person. However, it was probably because he was used to seeing hardships in his work that he did not have such deep empathy.
Everyone in the world was suffering. He had seen too much!
Li You sniffed.
"But don't we originally live in the same area? I think you can help if you can."
"Besides, that's a loan shark. We don't know how much money we have to pay for the interest. Xiao Yuan ran away. How long will it take to count on Wu Cuifen alone? Xiao Ran is going to university soon. We can't delay the child's studies because of this, right?"
The high interest loans not being protected by the state actually only began in 2019.
Therefore, although everyone knew that it was not good before this, everyone tacitly agreed to its existence. After all, it could also resolve the urgent matters.
Ding Hong frowned.
"Do you really think that I have nothing to do all day? Isn't it only right for them to repay what they owe?"
Not to mention that he was a district mayor, even if the prime minister was here, he could not say that they did not have to pay back the money they owed.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Li You was really worried. "This good child can't be ruined because of his parents, right?"
Hearing this, Ding Hong sighed.
She had two children, so she knew the sadness of raising children very well.
It was indeed a pity.
He pursed his lips. "How about this? I'll ask around tomorrow. If Xiao Ran can really become a talent, it's not impossible to apply for a scholarship for him!"
This was all Ding Hong could do to help.
"That's fine too. Remember not to forget."
"Alright, I understand."
As Ding Hong spoke, he thought of something else and his tone became serious. "Let me ask you, how did you know about this? Did Little Wan ask you to tell me?"
Although Ding Hong had drunk too much, his mind was still very clear.
His wife rarely interfered in these things. Moreover, he had just seen Xiao Ran send his daughter back during the day. Why was his wife speaking up for Xiao Ran at night?
This was too much of a coincidence!
Li You glanced at him.
"Little Wan didn't say anything. I was the one who asked. Didn't you ask me to figure out their relationship? I only found out after asking a few more questions!"
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt.
"You're just old-fashioned. Don't forget that we've been together for several years when we were 18 years old. Why does it feel like the sky has collapsed when it comes to our child? Think about Wenxuan…"
At the mention of her son, Li You felt terrible and her eyes welled up.
It had been a few years, but her son had not returned home in a fit of pique.
His father wouldn't let him come home, either. She was almost 40 years old. She was already halfway through her life. How many more years could she wait?
She couldn't possibly wait for her son to die before asking him to come back, right?
"Sigh, let's not talk about Wenxuan anymore. Let me tell you, I won't let this kid come back for a day as long as he doesn't walk the right path!"
Speaking of Ding Wenxuan, Ding Hong felt the same way, but what could he do?
Recently, he heard that this brat was buying things and speculating again. He was ignorant and incompetent!
Just the thought of it made him so angry that his blood pressure increased!
Li You couldn't win against him, but she was angry.
She simply exerted strength and rolled the entire blanket over, covering herself tightly.
"Hey, hey, hey. Give me some blankets."
"Did you hear me when I spoke to you?"
Ding Suiwan, who was separated by a wall, pressed her fair little ears tightly against the wall, wishing she could pass through them!
Unfortunately, even so, she only heard a little.
It seemed like her father wanted to apply for a scholarship for Xiao Ran, but he was not very sure.
After waiting for a while, she realized that there was no movement on the other side.
She pursed her lips and walked to the bed reluctantly.
Her beautiful long legs bent slightly and she stepped on the ground. She put on her small slippers and walked to the writing desk.
Forget it, she should revise first.
However, before she could take a look, her mind involuntarily started to wander.
It was strange. She was clearly reading a math book. As she read, she recalled how he had helped her hold her legs during the day.
She changed to language again and began to memorize the text!
As she carried him, she thought of how he would stand up and memorize "Li Sao".
The girl, who refused to admit defeat, took out her English book again. In the end, his pleasant American pronunciation began to echo in her mind.
Her eyes were filled with despair. She leaned against the back of the chair and patted her plump forehead with her fair hand.
Oh no!
She wondered if she had a strange illness that made her feel uncomfortable just because she didn't want to think about Xiao Ran.
She had only been home for a few hours, but she had already thought of him dozens of times!
***
The next morning, Ding Suiwan woke up very early. After all, she was a third-year high school student and not human.
At six o'clock, Ding Suiwan's clear and pleasant voice was already heard at home.
She had already started to recite English words seriously.
To be honest, Ding Suiwan was not a smart girl. Her good results depended on hard work.
Li You woke up early to make breakfast for the family of three. She poured some oil into the frying pan and fried three eggs. After some thought, she added another one.
Then, she cooked a pot of century egg and lean meat porridge. It was lighter and not greasy.
Finally, she turned around and took out a pack of hot dogs from the fridge.
This was sent over by his sister, who was in foreign trade a few days ago. She heard that it was imported and purely made of meat. It was completely different from the taste of the domestic sausages that were made of starch.
However, she naturally could not bear to eat it. She had to leave such things for Ding Suiwan.
There were a total of two in the pot. One was Xiao Ran's and the other was Ding Suiwan's.
After making breakfast, she placed the couple's portion on the table as usual. Then, she put Ding Suiwan and Xiao Ran's portion in a thermos.
This was to save Ding Suiwan time.
After all, there was no one around now, so she was more focused on memorizing.
When there were more people in school and it was easy to get distracted, she could start eating breakfast.
Moreover, the breakfast at that time was already almost cold and it was easier to eat.
At 6:40 pm, the girl put down her book on time and sat on the bed. She took off the beautiful home clothes and put on her blue school uniform.
She took out a pair of white socks and put them on before walking out of the bedroom.
She went to the bathroom and started washing her face and brushing her teeth!
The girl in the mirror had shockingly tender skin and a pair of big eyes. She had crescent-shaped double eyelids, black jade-like pupils, a tall and small nose, and beautiful full lips.
She combed the back of her hair high with a comb and tied it into a ponytail.
The hair in front of her forehead made her naturally beautiful and exuberant.
Seeing that Ding Suiwan had packed up, Li You took out the breakfast she had prepared and handed it to her daughter.
"There's also Xiao Ran's share. Remember to bring it to him. This child's family background is so poor now. He must be just having random stuff for breakfast. We'll make breakfast for you and him!"
She couldn't help them pay their debts, but it was still very easy for her to let Xiao Ran eat a nutritious and balanced meal!
This was how she was. She wouldn't like to do anything that added to others' glory, but once she knew that someone was in trouble, she couldn't help but want to help them.
