Chapter 82

"Stop seeing me off, let's stop here, Huaiye. There's no one else around; tell your master, have you really never doubted your own parentage?"

Qiu Zhiyang had been worrying about this matter for the past few days, and before leaving, he specifically instructed Su Mingqiang to ask the elderly in the village more about the Pei Fugui family.

"Master, whether they are my biological parents or not is no longer important."

No matter what the truth is, it is very cruel.

Fortunately, he now has a home of his own.

Pei Huaiye's heart softened at the thought of Su Qingyue, and he smiled faintly, "In my eyes, you are the same as a father."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Zhiyang's eyes turned red, "Good, good, good child, you and Qingyue live your lives well."

After seeing his master off, Pei Huaiye hurried back to the base, only to be bumped into by a man on a street corner.

Shen Xunbao's eyes flashed, he adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, and said very apologetically, "Comrade Pei, I'm sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going."

This was his first time being this close to Pei Huaiye, and those sharp, heroic features were suddenly magnified before his eyes.

Shen Xunbao took two steps back, blushing slightly as he apologized.

Pei Huaiye didn't say a word from start to finish; he lifted his eyelids, shot a fierce look, and walked away.

Shen Xunbao stood frozen on the spot for a long time before he curled the corners of his mouth and returned to Maple Tree Lane.

After Su Qingyue and Pei Huaiye finished their respective work, they explained the school information they had gathered to Li Zilan and her husband.

"There are many primary schools in the county, four in total, one in each of the east, west, south, and north districts. The tuition is eight yuan per semester, including books. The rest is for food; the school canteen is even cheaper than the state-run restaurant, costing two to five mao a day, and they also collect grain coupons."

Su Qingyue added, "Zhuangzhuang can attend preschool at any of them. Qingxi is thirteen, so I want her to go straight into the second grade, but she has to pass an entrance exam."

"How about this: we look at every school, ask about the admission requirements, and once Qingxi passes the exam at a school, we'll have Zhuangzhuang follow her to attend preschool there?"

Everyone was very satisfied with Su Qingwu's suggestion, so they went to look at a few more schools together and finally settled on Yucai Primary School.

This school is connected from preschool all the way to junior high, with strong teaching staff and a high level of education.

Most importantly, both Zhuangzhuang and Qingxi liked it very much; the two children, one big and one small, kept looking at everything on campus with curiosity, their eyes filled with a thirst for knowledge.

Li Zilan joked with a smile, "They're excited about everything now, but I'm afraid they'll be crying and not wanting to go to school once they have homework later."

"I won't cry!"

Su Zhuangzhuang puffed out his little chest, crossed his arms, and said seriously.

"Oh my, Zhuangzhuang is just too cute! And Qingxi is so pretty too. Then the teacher will wait to see you when you enroll."

Teacher Gao is the grade director of the primary school department, and she happened to be on duty when she received Su Qingyue and the others.

"As parents, you should still seize the summer vacation to help Qingxi with her learning progress. As long as she can pass the entrance exam in all subjects, she can go straight into the second grade."

"Thank you, Teacher Gao, I will work hard." Su Qingxi wasn't intimidated at all, and the little girl said generously.

"I will work hard too!" Su Zhuangzhuang said in a milky voice, refusing to be left behind.

Everyone laughed; the schools for the two children were finally decided. After the family said goodbye to Teacher Gao, they walked back, talking and laughing.

"Qingyue, your brother and I will go to the bus station to take a bus back, you take the two children and ride the bicycles."

"No need, sister-in-law, eldest brother can take you and Qingxi, and A Ye can take me and Zhuangzhuang, we'll all go back together."

Li Zilan looked at the bicycle with an envious expression, but said with concern, "Carrying two people? Don't wear out this good bike."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, the bicycle won't break."

This was Li Zilan's first time riding on a bicycle, and she gripped Su Qingwu's waist tightly.

Su Qingwu smiled honestly, "Wife, sit tight, let's go!"

When going down a bumpy road, she became nervous and couldn't help but pinch the flesh on both sides of Su Qingwu's waist. Su Qingwu's handlebars swerved, Li Zilan screamed in fright, and the force of her pinching increased even more.

Zhuangzhuang giggled; he sat on the front bar of Pei Huaiye's bike with his little butt stuck out, opening his little mouth to shout nonsense into the wind.

Qingxi made faces at him from the opposite side, "Stupid Zhuangzhuang, there are people all over the road, you're not allowed to shout!"

Su Zhuangzhuang stuck out his tongue, "Little aunt is the stupid one, bleh bleh bleh."

"You two stop messing around, you'll fall off in a minute."

Su Qingyue wrapped her arms around Pei Huaiye's waist, pressed her little face against his broad, sturdy back, and whispered, "A Ye, being married is so good."

The feeling of the two of them riding on one bike so openly is really good.

A family of six, two bikes, laughter and joy wherever they rode.

After returning to the village, it was just time to finish work. Everyone carried their hoes and looked at the Su family with envy, showing expressions of jealousy.

Pei Fugui spat a few times toward the field, and Chen Lianzhen struck Pei Huaimei with a crutch, pointing at the mulberry tree while scolding the locust tree, "Unfilial child, you only know how to make your parents work hard, it was a waste to raise you this big."

Pei Huaiye stopped the bike and let Li Zilan and her family go back first.

He turned his head to look at Chen Lianzhen, his eyes sharp, "Try hitting Huaimei again and see what happens?!"

"A daughter who is lazy and doesn't show filial piety to her parents, can't a mother discipline her?" Chen Lianzhen slammed her crutch heavily onto the ground!

Pei Huaimei endured the pain and squeezed out a smile, "Eldest brother, you and sister-in-law go back, I'm fine."

Su Qingyue pulled Pei Huaiye away, "Your mother is just hitting her for you to see. Do you know what day it is?"

It was time to pay living expenses to Pei Fugui and his wife.

Pei Huaiye felt a sense of suffocation in his heart. Ever since Qiu Zhiyang guessed that he might not be Pei Fugui's biological son, a seed of doubt had been planted in his heart.

Su Qingyue saw his displeased expression, hugged him, and acted like a spoiled child, "Alright, don't be angry, they haven't been like this for just one or two days."

As she spoke, she pressed her red lips onto Pei Huaiye's chin.

Pei Huaiye held her slender waist and took the opportunity to kiss her.

The two were kissing inseparably under the persimmon tree when the gate was patted.

"Auntie, the little dog is back!"

Pei Huaiye's eyes were fierce, it's Su Zhuangzhuang again!

Su Qingyue glared at him, "If you find Zhuangzhuang annoying now, then I won't have children, so I don't get disliked by you."

Having children.

Pei Huaiye's eyes darkened at these words, and he buried his head in Su Qingyue's shoulder and rubbed it, "Our baby will definitely be sensible, not as stupid as Zhuangzhuang."

Achoo~

Zhuangzhuang rubbed his nose, "Auntie, open the door quickly."

"Coming, coming."

As soon as the door opened a crack, Su Mingqiang said with a smile, "Qingyue, Huaiye, come and see, I've found you a guard dog."

Pei Huaiye was expressionless, Su Qingyue was stunned, both of them had faces full of questions.

Pei Huaiye finally couldn't help but speak, "Dad, are you sure they can guard the door?"

On the ground stood two little puppies, one black and one white, obviously born not long ago. They were looking around with wet eyes, their expressions timid and innocent, and their four short legs were still wobbling.

Hearing Pei Huaiye's questioning words, they let out dissatisfied protests in their immature little voices, "Woof woof woof~"

A milky, soft bark.

Su Qingyue's eyes grew brighter and brighter, she scooped up the two puppies, and said with excitement, "A Ye, my heart has melted!"

"Let's keep them! They will definitely be able to guard the door in the future!"
