12. Chapter 12
Ji Mengmeng felt that Xue Zheng had been particularly easy to get along with recently, but this inexplicable change made her feel a little uneasy.
Every time she sent her child out, he would politely say goodbye to her. You must know that he used to raise his eyes to look at her, and it was all troublesome. What's even more exaggerated, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, he also sent her two boxes of top-quality mooncakes.
Ji Mengmeng was about to be stunned by him, and when she couldn't bear it anymore, she called Xue Zheng.
"Dad Xue, our school has a rule that you can't just accept gifts from parents."
Xue Zheng paused for a moment before he spoke: "Take it Teacher Ji, it's not a valuable thing, I just want to wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival." His voice was cold, and he was a little reserved. Even the blessings are not said with a hint of human flavor.
Ji Mengmeng knew that the moon cake was nothing in his heart, but she still insisted on refusing: "I'm sorry Dad Xue, I understand your kindness, but the rules are there, I hope you don't embarrass me." ”
She said tremblingly, afraid that Xue Zheng would cause her some trouble on a whim.
Xue Zhengna paused for a while, and finally he agreed: "Okay, let's see you at the coffee shop outside your street in the evening, it just so happens that I also have something to discuss with you." ”
Ji Mengmeng couldn't think of a better idea, so she could only agree.
At the appointed time, Ji Mengmeng took Xue Zheng's two boxes of mooncakes to the coffee shop. As soon as she pushed the door open, her eyes fell on the man.
He seems to lean on the back of the chair casually, but the temperament around him all shows his cultivation and background. Ji Mengmeng took a deep breath, he was indeed different from the parents of the students he had met in the past, so she had to pay more attention to deal with it.
She walked in front of Xue Zheng, and before she could speak, Xue Zheng spoke first. He raised his hand and made a gesture: "Sit, Teacher Ji." ”
Ji Mengmeng sat down, she picked up the two boxes of moon cakes and was about to hand them to him, Xue Zheng had already picked up the menu on the table, and asked while flipping through it: "How about ordering you a cup of signature coffee here?" ”
Ji Mengmeng is going crazy, she always feels that in front of Xue Zheng, many things are out of control.
"That Dad Xue, if it's okay, I think" Before she finished speaking, Xue Zheng took the conversation to him.
"I'm sorry Mr. Ji, you're okay but I have something, so I'm going to delay you for some time." Crisp and neat, there is no room for her. Ji Mengmeng was choked, she bit her lip, put down the moon cake in her hand, and waited for Xue Zheng to speak.
After the coffee came up, Xue Zheng slowly stirred the coffee in the cup with a spoon before he spoke: "Teacher Ji, I want to talk to you about my son."
Ji Mengmeng looked puzzled, and before she could speak, Xue Zheng continued: "I asked my son's opinion, you are right, but Wei is much more sensitive than I imagined." After a pause, he added, "I don't know what is going on with that. Speaking of which, I'm spoiling him enough."
"Adults can't fully understand a child's mind. But now that you know Xue Yiwei's thoughts, there are some things you have to be cautious about. ”
"Of course." Xue Zheng bowed slightly, and after a while, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face. After hesitating for a moment, he looked at Ji Mengmeng and asked with a little expectation: "I don't know if Mr. Ji, do you have any good ways to make my child not reject the new mother." ”
Ji Mengmeng hurriedly waved her hand when she heard this: "Dad Xue, I'm just a teacher, not an education expert, and I'm really not easy to deal with this matter." "She just wants to be a teacher in peace, if she is involved in other people's family affairs, I am afraid that there will be no peace in the future.
Xue Zheng shook his head and said a little helplessly: "Teacher Ji, you are too polite, my child will listen to you now, I, who is a father, will stand aside." ”
This is too exalting for her. Ji Mengmeng couldn't get off the stage, and after thinking about it, she struggled to squeeze out her words.
"Who the child likes is not what the elders say, the key is to see the person's heart for the child. Father Xue, do you think the young lady who is with you is really good to Xue Yiwei? ”
Xue Zheng's eyes flashed with complexity when he looked at her. Ji Mengmeng knew that she had overstepped herself, although Xue Zheng was asking for her opinion, she was still not qualified to judge the people around him.
She bowed her head and took a sip of her coffee, then added, "I'm just talking about my own opinion, and I don't know that young lady." How to do it, it's up to Dad Xue to make your own decision. ”
Xue Zheng pondered for a while, and then said: "That person is also very gentle with Wei Wei, but my child doesn't know what's going on, that is, he rejects others, I think he listens to you so much, can you persuade him." ”
Ji Mengmeng: "A child's mind cannot be changed by an adult in two or three sentences. Some people may be born with a misalignment, and even if you and I reconcile them, it may not be effective. ”
"Is there really no solution?" After pondering for a few seconds, Xue Zheng asked again without giving up.
Ji Mengmeng nodded simply: "This problem depends on the children themselves, we can't be 100% successful as adults." ”
Xue Zheng was not particularly satisfied with her answer, but when it came to this, he also knew that there was no way to go on.
Their conversation passed like this, and the only thing that made Ji Mengmeng happy was that Xue Zheng took back the moon cakes. When I walked out of the coffee shop, I heard the sound of the wind whirring. Ji Mengmeng instinctively hugged her arms to keep warm, she didn't expect that after just over an hour, the temperature would drop so much. Just as he was about to say goodbye to Xue Zheng, he heard the man say, "I'll send you, Teacher Ji." ”
Ji Mengmeng didn't want to have too much contact with Xue Zheng, so she hurriedly waved her hand and refused.
"No need Dad Xue, my house is a few steps inside."
Xue Zheng looked down at her, with a faint hint of toughness in his momentum.
"Teacher Ji, don't be polite, it's me who delayed your time, and the temperature is low at night, you are easy to catch a cold if you wear so little."
Ji Mengmeng still wanted to resign, but she didn't want Xue Zheng to take the lead and cut off her back road.
"Teacher Ji, I hope you have the ethics of being a teacher. The flu has been so bad lately, what if you don't take care of your body and pass the disease on to your children? Not to mention anything else, my child has been in poor health since he was a child, and if someone coughs next to him, he will be infected. ”
The words of such a mean citizen were really a bit funny when Xue Zheng said them in his cold tone. Ji Mengmeng no longer refused hypocritically, thanked him for his kindness, and got into the car.
The car quickly drove to her door, and Ji Mengmeng thanked Xue Zheng again before pushing the car door. As soon as she stood still, she ran into her brother.
Ji Peng took a cigarette in his mouth, like a ruffian. He looked at Ji Mengmeng, then at the car behind her, and sneered: "Yo, it's all a big deal!" ”
Ji Mengmeng waved his hand and patted his head, and said sharply: "Keep your mouth clean!" ”
Ji Peng's temper came up, and he pulled up his sleeves to reason with Ji Mengmeng. Seeing this, Xue Zheng hurriedly got out of the car and blocked in front of Ji Mengmeng.
"You've learned to hide behind wild men?" Xue Zheng frowned, his face unabashedly showing his disgust. Ji Mengmeng didn't want to pull unrelated people in, so she walked up to Xue Zheng, pushed Ji Peng, and said angrily: "Ji Peng, you don't embarrass me outside." If you don't want to live at home, go back to your school dorm! ”
Ji Peng saw that Ji Mengmeng was so anxious, and felt more and more that this man had a lot to do with her. He glanced at the two of them with bad intentions, thinking that this was a good opportunity for blackmail, so he smiled and stretched out his hand, and said to Ji Mengmeng: "Sister, if you want me to go, you can do it anyway, right?" ”
Ji Mengmeng's face turned red. Her family's affairs are very unwanted to be seen by outsiders. It's just that this person is still the parent of her own student, which makes her even more embarrassed.
Although Xue Zheng is not used to seeing men who reach out to women to ask for money, it is also Ji Mengmeng's family matter, and he has no reason to interfere. Ji Mengmeng bit her lip and thought about it, and finally took out her wallet from her bag and ordered one thousand five to him.
"That's it, you call Hanako!" Ji Peng looked at the stack of banknotes with disgust and didn't reach out to take it.
"Don't forget it!" After Ji Mengmeng finished speaking, she took back the money, Ji Peng hurriedly reached out and grabbed it, nodded, looked at Ji Mengmeng, and raised her chin.
"Thank you, sister, I won't trouble you, I'll go back to school. You're going on a good date, I won't bother you! ”
Xue Zheng looked down at Ji Mengmeng's face next season, and found that the purple ones were almost comparable to eggplants.
Thinking of Ji Mengmeng, who has always been strong, watching her eat deflated, Xue Zheng felt interesting for a moment.
However, this thought quickly disappeared, and he couldn't help but worry when he saw her like this. With this kind of younger brother, there is a timed \ bomb \ bomb around this Ji Mengmeng.
When the people were far away, Xue Zheng opened his mouth and asked softly, "Are you okay?" ”
Ji Mengmeng breathed a sigh of relief and said with a wry smile: "It's okay, I'm used to it." She turned her back, faced Xue Zheng, and said, "Let you see the joke, and thank you for sending me back." ”
It's driving people away. Knowing that she was embarrassed, Xue Zheng didn't stay long, and after a brief goodbye to her, he got into the car and quickly drove away.
Through the front mirror, Xue Zheng saw that Ji Mengmeng was still standing in place, and it seemed that she was not lightly angry. Thinking of what she told him last time and today, Xue Zheng felt that it was time for him to reflect on his education.
But no matter what, he didn't believe that his son would be like that yellow hair. His Wei Wei is so smart, and he is definitely an elite when he grows up.
