After successfully purchasing the rosemary, Gu Zi decided not to linger. She glanced at the time and realized it was time for her eldest and second child to finish school. Given that she was carrying a potted plant, it wasn’t convenient to continue shopping. They promptly left the farmers’ market and got in the car to head to the school.
Upon reaching the school gate, they noticed a considerable number of parents waiting for their children.
At first glance, it was evident that only the children living in the city had parents picking them up. Children from the villages walked home by themselves. Their parents were too busy with household chores to spare the time to walk and fetch their children. The so-called warm-hearted education often paled in comparison to the harsh realities of life.
In this era, those who could afford a car were far from ordinary. Many wondered which young master’s parents had arrived.
When school was over, Su Bing and Su Li walked out of the school gate, each pushing a bicycle. Su Li was chatting with his older brother, oblivious to the fact that their parents were waiting for them at the school gate.
“Brother, look, I got a big red flower today. Isn’t it beautiful? You’ll never guess which teacher rewarded me!” Su Li said mysteriously, quickening his pace to show Su Bing the red flower sticker on his forehead.
The red flower sticker, a reward from the teacher, was more than just a sticker to the children. It was a symbol of recognition and honor.
Su Bing often received red flowers, but he understood the symbolic significance of the red flower sticker and did not dismiss it as trivial.
Imitating his mother’s words, Su Bing encouraged his younger brother, “You must have been performing exceptionally well recently. I bet it was the math teacher who gave you this.”
In truth, Su Bing didn’t need to think hard to know it was the math teacher. Recently, Su Li had been receiving more and more red flowers. The fact that he kept bringing it up indicated that it was indeed the math teacher, especially since Su Li had always struggled with math but had shown significant improvement recently.
Su Li clapped his hands, nearly knocking over his bicycle. His hair was a mess from napping on the desk at noon, which had lasted the entire afternoon, making him look rather amusing. “Brother, you’re amazing! It was indeed our math teacher who rewarded me. He said if I keep improving, he’ll let me be the math class representative!”
Su Bing nodded in response, watching as his classmates walked past them. There were many parents outside, but his younger brother seemed oblivious to their gazes. Wasn’t he going to tidy up his hair?
This boy only cared about his appearance in front of their mother. Su Bing didn’t need to remind him; once they reached home and Su Li saw their mother, he would naturally tidy himself up.
However, what Su Bing didn’t expect was that they wouldn’t have to wait until they got home to see their mother. She was standing at the school gate holding their younger sister, waiting for them. Their tall and handsome father was also there. They had all come to pick them up.
Su Bing caught sight of them, his steps quickening involuntarily. At the same time, his younger brother, who had also noticed their parents, swiftly hid behind him. Only after a few seconds did he emerge, pushing his bicycle and following his older brother out of the school gate.
“Mom, Dad, what brings you here?” Su Li, taking a large stride, intercepted their mother before Su Bing could reach her. His hair, usually unkempt, was now neatly combed, giving him a lively appearance.
Su Bing felt a wave of annoyance at his brother’s cunning, but he couldn’t suppress his joy as he asked, ‘Mom, Dad, have you come to pick us up?
Gu Zi smiled gently at them, “Yes, we came into town to buy a few things and thought we’d pick you up on the way. Come on, get in the car.”
Both Su Bing and Su Li were delighted, but they looked at their bicycles, unsure of what to do with them. “What about these?”
Gu Zi slapped her forehead, realizing her oversight. “Oh, I completely forgot about your bikes. Just take them to the bike shop over there and leave them for the night. You can ride them back home after school tomorrow. Your dad can drop you off in the morning so you won’t have to walk. Isn’t there a bike storage place nearby? Do you have any money on you? Your dad can give you some.”
Gu Zi mentioned ‘dad’ twice in her instructions, which made Su Shen, who was standing to the side, chuckle. He enjoyed hearing her talk to their children in this way. Before the children could ask, Su Shen took out ten yuan from his wallet and handed it to his eldest.
The eldest child looked a bit bewildered. “Dad, it only costs ten cents to store a bike. My brother and I only need twenty cents in total. This is too much. I have my own pocket money, so we don’t need it..”
