Rebirth 90: The Long Road to Finding a Son

After the training school opened, everything went smoothly, and the teaching and enrollment work were carried out in an orderly manner. Yuan Jie also returned to her teaching position as the students started school.

But now she has become an elementary school teacher and needs to deal with a group of children.

English in primary school is very simple, so the teaching task is relatively easy for her.

In addition, primary school students go to school late and leave school early, so they have more time. Sun Mian's arrival and departure time is consistent with Yuan Jie's, so there is no need for other family members to pick him up. This creates more time for Yuan Jie to spend with her son.

When she has no classes, she would walk to the door of her son's classroom and look for the little figure through the doors and windows. Seeing the child listening to the class seriously and actively raising his hand to answer questions, Yuan Jie felt so relieved.

Although he is only in the first grade of primary school, he brought back two big awards in the final exam last semester. When Yuan Jie has time to pick up her child, she will also ask the teacher about Sun Mian's performance in school, and the teacher's evaluation of him is full of praise.

Thinking back to the past, Sun Xiaohao's short life really made Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin worry about him. When he was in elementary school, the teacher often called his parents because he didn't like to study and didn't do his homework.

As a high school teacher, Yuan Jie was often scolded by elementary school teachers and could not even raise her head. She wanted to find a hole to crawl into many times.

The teacher thought that the parents did not pay enough attention to their children's studies, and that she and Sun Aimin felt really wronged.

When he entered junior high school, his bad behavior became even more of a headache for the couple. Not only did he skip classes, he also learned to smoke and often found various excuses to ask for money from his family.

By then he was no longer as weak and sickly as he was when he was a child. Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin would hit him when they got angry, but neither preaching nor beating or scolding had any significant effect.

Sun Xiaohao gave in on the surface, making Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin think that he really listened to them, but behind the scenes, he did not change. Instead, the experience of being beaten and scolded by the two sowed the seeds of hatred in Sun Xiaohao's heart.

He knew from a young age that he was not their biological son, and he considered being beaten and scolded as abuse.

Later, when taking the high school entrance exam, Sun Xiaohao only scored over 200 out of 600.

He is the only son of Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin. No matter how disappointed they were with him, they never thought of giving up on him.

At that time, Qingyang No. 1 Middle School had a policy that if the children of faculty and staff did not have high scores in the high school entrance examination, they could be admitted to the middle school as an exception.

That year, the admission score of No. 1 Middle School exceeded 500 points, and Sun Xiaohao's score was really embarrassing.

Yuan Jie felt ashamed, but in order to keep Sun Xiaohao under her nose and prevent him from learning bad things, she sacrificed her own reputation and sent Sun Xiaohao to No. 1 Middle School.

But all the teachers who taught him shook their heads and sighed at this child. It was common for him to doze off and pass notes in class, and after class he would hang out with the other students who looked like gangsters.

Because his family runs a restaurant and has some assets, his behavior is exactly like that of a rich second-generation spendthrift.

Every time he was criticized by Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin, he pretended to be hurt and made various promises verbally. Then he might be quiet for a few days, and then he would start to revive again.

Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin were troubled by Sun Xiaohao. In the end, they no longer had any hope for him. As long as he didn't cause any big trouble, they would just let him be.

In this way, Sun Xiaohao spent his high school years in a daze. He scored 300 points in the college entrance examination, and was then sent to a junior college by Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin at their expense.

Compared to letting him enter the society early, even if the school is not very good, the school atmosphere will be simpler than the social environment.

During the three years in college, Sun Xiaohao's daily life was filled with eating, drinking and having fun, and he lived a very comfortable life.

After graduating from college, Sun Aimin wanted Sun Xiaohao to learn cooking skills in a restaurant. When he was young, he complained about the hardship and was very tiring.

Now that we are adults and at the age to start a family, we should understand a few things by now, right?

In the end, Sun Xiaohao was still unwilling, thinking that the identity of a cook was not worthy of him, and insisted on going out to venture into the so-called business, but in fact he was just doing nothing with his parents' money.

In the end, because his parents were tight on money, he felt that he was not good at spending money, so he staged a kidnapping case to cheat money from Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin.

All of this seems like a nightmare in retrospect. Yuan Jie admitted that she and Sun Aimin did have some problems, and the biggest problem was that she did not really have the heart to properly discipline Sun Xiaohao.

But thinking of how he was lying on the hospital bed and repaying kindness with enmity, Yuan Jie thought again, maybe she was too harsh on him, and his hatred for her and Sun Aimin would only get worse.

Fortunately, these things will never happen again. She and Sun Aimin can raise their children like normal parents, instead of wasting all their efforts.

Now, Qian Jindou has been executed, Zhan Jinhua is in prison, and no one knows where their children are living. In any case, it is impossible for them to have any connection with the Sun and Yuan families.

Yuan Jie, standing at the door of Sun Mian's classroom, quietly wiped the wet corners of her eyes, a smile appeared on her face, and she turned back to the office.

The weekend was coming soon, and Yuan Jie took advantage of the lunch break to take Sun Mian shopping.

The last time she met Shen Nan, she specifically asked about Qian Baoge's height, weight, and shoe size. Shen Nan thought it was just a regular topic between mothers, so she told the truth. Unexpectedly, Yuan Jie wanted to buy clothes for Qian Baoge.

They went to a children's clothing store, picked out two spring and autumn dresses, and bought two sets of sportswear. Finally, they also matched Qian Baoge with a pair of bright red leather boots and a pair of comfortable and soft sports shoes.

The mother and son carried a lot of bags and went into a nearby hamburger restaurant. Although the family runs a restaurant, the child is still very happy to eat some other kinds of food occasionally.

Hamburgers and French fries are the favorite food of children nowadays. Although this type of food will be classified as junk food in twenty years, it is actually nothing to eat it once a month or two.

After eating, the mother and son took a taxi home to return the things they bought, and then returned to school to prepare for the afternoon class.

Shen Nan was away for a week, and she was worried about her family. She would call home every day from the school landline to ask about the situation. This was the first time her daughter had been away from her for such a long time, and she was worried that Qian Jingui would not be able to take good care of the child.

However, judging from Qian Baoge's state on the phone, he didn't seem to be greatly affected by his departure. Instead, he was happy every day. Like a little adult, he told Shen Nan to study hard and not to worry about family.

On the first Friday of studying in the city, after class at around five o'clock, Shen Nan prepared to go to a nearby small supermarket to buy some snacks for the children to take back.

The children in the village are easily satisfied, and a little snack can make them happy for a long time.

Sun Aimin called Shen Nan to the office and handed the clothes and shoes that Yuan Jie bought for the child, as well as a bag of snacks to Shen Nan: "Sister Shen, these are all bought by my wife for the child. You can take them back home tomorrow!"

Shen Nan felt that studying here for free was already a great bargain, and it would be unreasonable to charge them for it: "Principal Sun, this won't work. I can't charge them. I can learn technology here without spending any money. I don't know how to thank you..."

Sun Aimin interrupted, "Sister Shen, please stop calling me Principal Sun. Just call me Aimin from now on. This is a small token of our love, so don't refuse it."

My wife told me in advance that if I didn't send these things out, I would be in trouble when I got home. She picked these clothes and shoes for the children, and Xiao Mian picked this bag of snacks. Take them quickly."

Shen Nan was so moved that he didn't know what to say. In the end, he couldn't persuade Sun Aimin and could only accept the generous gift.

When she returned home the next day with her bags, Qian Baoge came out to greet her, "Mom, you're back? Wow, you bought so many things. Are these for me?"

Shen Nan smiled and replied, "Yes, yes, they are all for you. Let's go in and see if you like it."

It is the off-season now, so Qian Jingui has not gone out to do farm work. He has been resting at home for almost a month since he returned home before the New Year. He sleeps on the heated kang at home every day, and feels that his waist is much looser.

He went to Luo Changshun to check his back injury and he was prescribed some Chinese medicine for external application. Now his back pain has been significantly relieved.

When Qian Jingui saw Shen Nan carrying a lot of bags into the house, his first reaction was to think that it cost a lot of money.

But thinking about the hard life he and his wife and children had gone through over the years, he didn't say anything, but asked, "Why did you buy so many things all at once?"

Shen Nan naturally saw through Qian Jingui's little thoughts. In order to save money to look for their son, the couple tightened their belts over the years, not wanting to eat or wear anything.

She smiled and said, "Don't feel bad, I didn't buy it with my own money, it was given to me by someone else."

Qian Jingui was puzzled: "Someone gave it to you? Who is so generous to give you these things?"

Shen Nan replied, "I happened to help a city dweller. He heard that I have a little girl at home, so he bought so many things for the child to thank me."

She did not tell the truth to Qian Jingui. She could not let anyone in the Qian family know about the matter between Sun Aimin and Yuan Jie, not even Qian Jingui who had severed ties with the Qian family.

Qian Jingui is honest and dull, and he is easily influenced. Now that the old couple of the Qian family are old, they need someone to take care of them. If they can't make it, they may pester Qian Jingui to take care of them in their old age.

After all, they are Qian Jingui's biological parents. If Qian Jingui softens his heart and forgives those two old bastards, there is no guarantee that he will not let something slip and cause trouble for others.

So Shen Nan said that she would never mention this matter at home. Even to her daughter Qian Baoge, she basically stopped mentioning the matter of Qian Xiaoshu in the past few months.

The two children have already become people from two different worlds, so let them slowly forget this childhood friend.
