country bumpkin

Fu Jingyu asked, "Jingchao, what brings you here? Is there something you need?"

Fu Jingchao blushed and said, "It's nothing, I... I'm just bored and wanted to talk to you, or... or you can play with me for a while."

Fu Jingyu asked curiously, "With so many students in your class, isn't there a single one of them your friend?"

Fu Jingchao scratched his head awkwardly, "Yes, there are, but they all have their own small groups, and they have plenty of people playing the games, so I can't join them."

Fu Jingyu felt that he probably didn't have many friends, otherwise he wouldn't have come to find him.

He didn't ask anything more, and directly took him to his own class to watch the other students play card games.

After watching for about 10 minutes, the class bell rang, and Fu Jingchao hurriedly ran back to his classroom.

I had barely sat down and caught my breath when the teacher walked into the classroom. It was music class, and for students who didn't do well academically, music, art, and physical education were their favorite subjects.

The music teacher placed the tape recorder on the floor above the podium, plugged it in, and pressed play.

As usual, we'll listen to the song once first, then the teacher will lead everyone in singing the score, and finally lead them in singing the lyrics.

Today we learned "Two Little Elephants," a cheerful tune that the students never tire of listening to.

During class, Fu Jingchao kept secretly glancing at Sun Fei. He wanted to take advantage of Sun Fei's good mood to apologize to her.

Sun Fei noticed that her deskmate was secretly watching her, as if she had something to say to her.

She didn't give her deskmate a chance, and sang nursery rhymes along with the music on her own.

The teacher not only taught the children to sing, but also taught them dance moves to accompany the song.

All the students in the classroom were paired up, singing and performing hand dances.

When singing "hook it up, ya yo luo luo", the two students at the same table should hook their little hands together to represent the elephant's trunk.

Fu Jingchao hooked his little finger with Sun Fei's, trying to hook it together. Sun Fei didn't cooperate, and Fu Jingchao felt very sad. He saw that all the other classmates and their deskmates had harmonious relationships, while he was the only one who ended up empty-handed.

Sun Fei ignored him. What did he care what he thought? He'd offended her anyway! [You heartless bastard, I won't cooperate with you. I'll make you furious, haha!]

Sun Fei's smugness was written all over her face. Seeing Fu Jingchao's empty fingers and his bitter face, Sun Fei felt relieved, and even the air around her seemed fresher.

After a class, it was time to go home.

After saying goodbye to her students, music teacher Ms. Yuan carried her tape recorder out of the classroom and back to her office.

The students began to leave the classroom one after another and head towards the main gate.

Sun Fei stood in her seat waiting for Yun Ya to come find her. Yun Ya saw that most of the students behind her had left and it wasn't so crowded anymore, so she got up to find Sun Fei, and the two walked out of the classroom hand in hand.

Meng Fanxing and Zhang Ruisong also walked out one after the other.

Yun Ya greeted Zhang Ruisong with a smile. Zhang Ruisong smiled shyly, revealing two dimples on his face, which made him very handsome.

Yun Ya, with her bright and lively eyes, said, "Oh! Zhang Ruisong, you even have dimples? Hehe, it seems you'll grow up to be a great drinker."

Zhang Ruisong dropped his pretense and replied with a grin, "If I can drink when I grow up, I'll ask you to drink with me. After all, we're good buddies!"

Yun Ya quickly waved her hand, "That won't do. I hate the smell of alcohol the most, but as a good friend, it's no problem for me to pour you some wine."

Meng Fanxing, standing next to Yun Ya, tugged at her sleeve with a pitiful expression: "Yun Ya~ Can you take me with you? You can pour me some wine too."

Sun Fei was amused by the three of them: "Haha, hahaha, what are you three doing? It's so funny. You're so young, and you're already thinking about the future."

Yunya patted her chest and promised, "Oh! Don't worry, as long as we're still together when we grow up, I'll definitely keep my word."

Sun Fei laughed and pulled Yun Ya along as they ran, shouting, "You two are still Emperor Qianlong from TV dramas, needing maids to pour you wine? You wish! Our Yun Ya is not your maid!"

Meng Fanxing and Zhang Ruisong watched the two girls walk away with smiles; they were youthful, lively, and adorable.

The two exchanged a glance and smiled, then chatted as they went home.

Sun Fei pulled Yun Ya along for a while before slowing down. Sun Fei happily shared with Yun Ya how she had disciplined her deskmate that day.

Yunya chuckled along, "Oh my! Feifei, you're really something. You did the right thing. You let him know that if he doesn't help others, he can't expect others to help him cooperate."

They both felt relieved and went home chatting and laughing.

As soon as she got home, Yunya's expression changed. The atmosphere at home was tense again.

At this moment, Kong Xiujuan was angry. When Yunya saw Kong Xiujuan glaring at her angrily, her heart skipped a beat, wondering what mistake she had made this time.

Kong Xiujuan put her hands on her hips and said loudly, "Yunya, look at you, coming back so late again! Can't you give people a break?"

Yunya lowered her head and explained softly, "Mom, Feifei and I chatted for a while after school, so I came back a little late."

Kong Xiujuan snorted coldly: "Chatting? All you know is playing! Look at Gu Yu, that child studies so well, and look at you, all you do is run around all day."

Yunya felt extremely wronged. She had a lot of fun with her friends at school today, but she didn't expect to be scolded when she got home.

Kong Xiujuan added, "The food at home is getting cold, and everyone's waiting for you. You always procrastinate on everything, just like when you're doing your homework. Can't you be a little faster?"

Just then, Yunya's father walked in from outside. He patted Kong Xiujuan on the shoulder and said, "Alright, alright, the child has been tired all day. Let's talk about it after dinner."

Kong Xiujuan rolled her eyes at him, but remained silent. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yun Ya quickly slipped back to her room, lay on her bed, and tears streamed down her face.

She felt terrible. She hadn't done anything wrong; she had only been home a little late. How could she have made her mother so angry?

Kong Xiujuan heard Yunya hide inside and cry, so she called out from the living room, "Quick, come out and eat, or there won't be any food left."

Yun Ya wiped away her tears and obediently walked back to the living room, found a seat, and began to eat.

She kept her head down the whole time, not daring to look up at her mother. She was afraid that she might accidentally upset her mother again.

When Yunya first came back, Kong Xiujuan really liked the child. She always felt she owed her something. But later she gradually discovered that the child was too naughty and argumentative, so she stopped liking her.

With so many children in the family, arguments were common. Whenever she got angry and hit the kids, the eldest would fall silent after being hit. At most, he would cry a few times, but after she scolded him, Sun Limei would stop crying, and her bad temper would lessen a bit.

The younger one also remained silent, even though she didn't often hit her youngest son. But the second son, despite being hit, kept babbling on and on. This made her increasingly angry.

Furthermore, the eldest sister, Sun Limei, had better grades than the second sister and frequently received notebooks as rewards, while Yunya never received one. Kong Xiujuan grew increasingly displeased with her.

Sun Limei had been home from school for 15 minutes, but Yunya still hadn't returned. Everyone was waiting for her to eat, so they got angry.

Yunya quickly ate a few bites, then went back to her room, covered herself with the blanket, and cried silently.

She realized she was the unwanted person in this family. At that moment, she missed her grandmother even more.

My good mood today was ruined by what happened at noon.
