Quick Wear: Oops, the mission target is crying again

Song Mingle thought this way, so he took advantage of Chen Ping'an's home today and pulled him over to sit down and ask him.

"You and Jiang's daughter have been dating for quite some time now, when are you planning to settle down?"

Chen Ping'an's mind was still reeling from what Ling Yao had just done, so he was a little dazed when he heard Song Mingle's words.

"what?"

Seeing Chen Ping'an's bewildered expression, Song Mingyue repeated himself, this time even more directly.

"As for your engagement and marriage, you're both at the right age now, and your relationship is going well, so it's time to put marriage on the agenda."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping'an's eyes lit up, and his face quickly turned red.

"I...I don't know what she's thinking. I think it's better to hurry up."

Song Mingle had a knowing smile on his face.

"Then why don't you ask her when you have time? You're a boy, you can't always expect girls to take the initiative, you know? You have to take the initiative when it's time!"

Chen Ping'an nodded, taking his mother's words to heart.

That very evening, he sat down at his desk and showed all his assets—what he had earned and saved in the village, and the large red envelopes that Old Master Qin and Qin Shaoxin had given him the first time he entered the Qin family home.

Song Mingyue gave him the most, and even transferred two shops and a car to his name.

Now he receives a large sum of pocket money regularly every month.

The normal allowance he received came from his father.

However, his mother, Song Mingle, would give him another sum of money, more than Chen Ping'an could spend in several months.

He himself was not the type to spend money extravagantly. When he received his salary, he would give some pocket money to Old Mrs. Chen, give some to Ling Yao, and save the rest for himself.

Now, looking at his savings account, there's almost ten thousand yuan left. This is all Chen Ping'an's savings for his wife.

At that time, there were quite a few people in the provincial capital with 10,000 yuan, but it was definitely not something that just anyone could easily take out.

Chen Ping'an calculated his assets and felt they were still insufficient.

The money is too little.

He planned to save up a lot of money as a dowry before he could be qualified to ask Lingyao to marry him.

The money was saved up until the Chinese New Year.

The military gave everyone a few days off so they could go home and reunite with their families.

Chen Ping'an had packed his things early, and Ling Yao was picking him up again today.

However, there was one more person in the car.

It was Jiang Jianping who also moved to the provincial capital to study.

Lingyao was planning to pick up Chen Ping'an today, but on the way she received a call from Jiang Jianping's homeroom teacher.

It's said that Jiang Jianping got into a fight at school.

Lingyao originally wanted to find someone to pick up Jiang Jianping, but the teacher insisted that she go, saying that there was something she had to talk to her about in person.

Lingyao was speechless. She had never been scolded by a teacher in her life before, but today she had experienced it.

Lingyao only found out what Teacher Jiang Jianping wanted to say to her after she arrived.

“Ms. Jiang, I know it's not easy for you as an older sister raising a younger brother, but children this age are very sensitive. In his previous essay, he said he was a little afraid of you, and you... don't seem to care much about him. So now he's a bit rebellious, likes to form gangs and do bad things at school, trying to attract his family's attention..."

This time, Jiang Jianping got into a fight at school with a little boy from a wealthy family.

It was said that the little boy was bullying a child from the countryside who spoke with a slight accent in the classroom, and Jiang Jianping spoke up for him.

However, because Jiang Jianping also had a slight accent, the little boy joined in mocking him, and then Jiang Jianping hit the boy.

Lingyao listened for a long time but couldn't find anything wrong with Jiang Jianping's actions.

I couldn't help but ask the teacher, "So why did you call me here specifically?"

The homeroom teacher choked, realizing that all her previous talk had been for nothing.

"These days, kids can easily go astray if you're not careful. I know you're busy, but you should still pay attention to your brother's mental health."

Lingyao thought he was mentally healthy: "I think the one who bullied others is mentally less healthy."

The boy's parent, who was sitting next to them, immediately became furious, stood up, and shouted, "Who are you calling mentally unhealthy! How can you talk like that at such a young age?"

Lingyao looked coldly at the parent who had hit the child, then at the child in her arms.

The child trembled slightly under Lingyao's gaze.

Seeing that the probing was getting out of hand, the teacher quickly stood up to stop it.

"Both parents, please stop arguing. I'll address the issues one by one. Ms. Jiang, they are indeed at fault. I already had Wang Qiangjun apologize to Jiang Jianping before you arrived. I'll also speak with their parents later..."

Lingyao didn't have time to give her teacher any official pleasantries, so she grabbed Jiang Jianping and prepared to leave.

However, before leaving, the homeroom teacher quickly stuffed the essay written by Jiang Jianping into Lingyao's hands.

Now it has fallen into Chen Ping'an's hands again.

Chen Ping'an looked at the essay in his hand while listening to Ling Yao briefly explain what happened today.

He would glance at Jiang Jianping, who was sitting in the back seat with his head down, every now and then through the rearview mirror.

Finally, his gaze fell on Ling Yao's face.

He couldn't help but smile slightly, put away his essay, and looked at Ling Yao before speaking.

"Are you unhappy?"

Lingyao kept a straight face: "No."

She's angry, she's angry, she's angry, so what!

She's never been scolded by a teacher in her life, doesn't she have any pride?

Chen Ping'an smiled without saying anything, but instead asked Ling Yao what she wanted to eat.

Lingyao coldly replied, "Whatever."

Chen Pingan turned back and asked Jiang Jianping what he wanted to eat.

Jiang Jianping glanced at his sister, who had a cold face, and shook his head in frustration.

No words were spoken.

Chen Ping'an, however, continued to ask him with a relaxed expression.

He used to be afraid of Lingyao getting angry, but after being together for a while, he realized that the degree of Lingyao's anger varied.

However, she is usually not particularly angry; she is usually just a little angry or pretending to be angry.

When she's a little angry, she likes to tease him.

Pretending to be angry is happening right now; actually, it's just that they're embarrassed, or they're deliberately feigning indifference.

Actually, they're very easy to coax.

Jiang Jianping, sitting in the back, finally spoke up after hearing Chen Ping'an keep asking him questions. This was mainly because his sister had glanced at him in the rearview mirror, and he dared not remain silent.

So I chose a roast chicken restaurant that my friends said was delicious.

Chen Pingan nodded.

The three of them then drove towards the roast chicken shop.

While eating roast chicken, Lingyao would occasionally plot how to send Jiang Jianping, that little third wheel, back home.

Perhaps Jiang Jianping was very perceptive, because after finishing his meal, he suggested that he go back to do his homework.

Chen Ping'an nodded, but gave Ling Yao a wink, telling her to wait in the restaurant for a while while he took Jiang Jianping to the mall downstairs to buy some things.
