Looking at Brother Ting who lowered his head to apologize, A Luo was a little confused.
Over the past year or so, she and Brother Ting had quarreled every three days and had a fight every five days, and they had no idea how many times they had a fight. After each fight, it was common for her to be upset for a day or two.
Brother Ting often apologized to her unwillingly. However, the two children knew very well that Brother Ting's apology was not taken seriously at all.
This is the first time Ting Geer has formally bowed his head and apologized.
A Luo was stunned, Ji Geer and others were also stunned.
Only Brother Lin knew what was going on.
Everything Yin Xiaoxiao said yesterday was a huge blow to Brother Ting. Brother Ting cried bitterly and went to bed without even eating dinner. The two brothers had a good relationship and slept on the same bed at night. Brother Ting
I had nightmares in the middle of the night and woke up crying twice. Brother Lin didn't sleep well either.
The slightly cruel reality made Brother Ting grow up overnight. When I met A Luo today, I should apologize.
"Cousin Ah Luo," Brother Lin took two steps forward and interceded for Brother Ting sincerely: "Cousin Ting has realized his mistake. Yesterday he cried until midnight and told me that he would never bully me again.
He won't fight with you anymore. Just don't be angry with him."
A Luo blurted out: "I'm not angry! It's not a big deal to do it."
Brother Lin: "..."
Brother Ting: "..."
All the children couldn't help laughing.
This smile greatly eased the slightly tense and awkward atmosphere.
Sister Fu smiled and joked: "Cousin Ah Luo, you can't let the seventh aunt hear what you said. Otherwise, the seventh aunt will punish you again."
The emperor and empress could be called a loving father and strict mother. Xie Mingxi taught A Luo very strictly and had extremely high requirements. A Luo was also in awe of her own mother.
A Luo flat mouthed: "I've already been punished. From today on, I have to practice ten more calligraphy chapters every day."
The children were stunned.
Ten articles would take at least half an hour to write.
The outspoken little Bao'er blurted out: "Your mother is too cruel!" After saying this, he immediately looked around guiltily, with such a naughty and ridiculous look, which made everyone laugh again.
Brother Ting stood up straight and asked cautiously: "Cousin Ah Luo, are you really not angry anymore?"
Ah Luo glanced at Brother Ting and nodded in a reserved manner: "For the sake of your sincere apology, I will forgive you this time!"
Yesterday, Brother Ting was the one who made the first move, but she was the one who made the first move. To be honest, both of them were wrong.
She and Brother Ting were used to fighting, and once the anger was over, they left it behind. They were open-minded and never held grudges, which was A Luo's greatest advantage.
Brother Ting was relieved and grinned.
Brother You and Sister Qing exchanged looks with each other.
It seems that Brother Ting is not too annoying. At least he knows how to admit his mistakes.
Brother Ji, the oldest, smiled and smoothed things over: "Master will be here soon to check yesterday's homework. Let's sit down and memorize it first, lest we fail to recite it and be punished by Master."
All the children should sit together as agreed upon yesterday.
The youngest, Xiao Bao'er and Sister Qing, sat in the first row. Brother You, A'luofu and sister sat in the second row. Brother Lin, brother Ting, brother Rong and sister Rong sat in the third row. Brother Yu and sister Qin sat in the third row.
Brother and Brother Ji sat in the last row.
Eleven children each held up a book. Soon, the sound of Lang Lang's reading could be heard in the study room.
…
Xie Mingxi stood outside the study room, listening to the clear sounds of children reading, with a smile in her eyes.
Yin Xiaoxiao, who was standing beside her, also smiled and sighed, saying in a low voice: "I told Brother Ting everything yesterday. He cried twice in the night."
"I feel bad, and I didn't sleep well all night."
"He is still a child after all. The grievances between his parents are too heavy and should not be let him know. I originally planned to wait until he is twelve or thirteen years old to grow up and become sensible before telling him. Yesterday I was really too angry and disappointed
, one said without holding back..."
"You have done a good enough job." Xie Mingxi gently interrupted Yin Xiaoxiao, who was blaming himself: "Anyone else would never worry so much about Brother Ting."
After all, there is a layer of separation in the belly. If he is not his own biological child, even if he is raised by his side, he cannot treat him as his own child.
Therefore, no one is willing to do the hard work of raising children for others.
Yin Xiaoxiao not only did it, she also did it with all her heart. Even better than many mothers in the world.
Xie Mingxi herself is a cold-hearted person, cold-hearted and cold-blooded, and there are very few people she cares about. She asks herself that she would never be like Yin Xiaoxiao. Therefore, she has special admiration and respect for the chivalrous Yin Xiaoxiao.
Yin Xiaoxiao smiled helplessly: "I can't help it. I was born with this temperament. I just hope that Brother Ting can really change. At least, he will get into less trouble."
Xie Mingxi raised her eyebrows slightly and said calmly: "I hope so too."
I hope Brother Ting will be grateful and not be as cruel and ruthless as Prince Ning, nor be as dull and stupid as his biological mother, nor be as narrow-minded and accepting of death as his biological mother.
The two looked at each other and silently spoke at the same time.
This topic is too heavy. Once it is brought up, old things will be brought up and scars will be opened.
It's better not to mention it.
…
The person teaching the children this morning was Chief Gu Shan.
There are five more students, and the learning progress is different. After half a day, the class will not be easy.
When school was about to end, Xie Mingxi deliberately went to wait outside the study room in advance. After waiting for about a while, the door of the study room opened and Mr. Gu Shan came out.
Xie Mingxi greeted him with a smile, and his eyes quickly turned to Chief Gu: "There are more students today, so Master must be more tired from teaching than before!"
Gu Shanchang smiled energetically and said: "With the addition of Brother You and the others, the children are studying more seriously today than in the past. I don't feel tired at all."
Xie Mingxi laughed dumbly: "As long as you're not tired."
Gu has been a mountain leader for most of her life, and her favorite thing in her life is teaching students. Teaching is not a burden to her, but a great joy and happiness.
Gu Shanchang smiled and said: "Brother You is the smartest and the best at studying. Little Bao'er is also very smart, but he is active and lacks determination. Sister Qing is the youngest and the most serious in studying. I have taught all three of them.
, are familiar with them all.”
"It's Brother Yu and Brother Qin. I only met him for the second time. I have to slowly explore his temperament."
Xie Mingxi smiled and said: "Sister Fang is very attentive to the teaching of her two sons. They are two brothers who will never be bad at schoolwork."
This is true.
Chief Gu nodded and was about to say something else when the door opened and the children automatically walked out in groups.
When the children saw Xie Mingxi, they stood up reflexively and performed the student salute together: "Students have seen the Master."
