Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

Chapter 774 Returning Home to Prepare for the Medal After listening to You Benhua's report, Zeng Wangcai said, "Thank you for your hard work down there. I will be back to Sijiu City tomorrow. The news from above is that I will be awarded the highest medal, which will be published in the newspapers and on television.

"If nothing unexpected happens, few people will dare to provoke me openly. Have you ever thought about going back?"

"Go back? Where to?" You Benhua said with a sad smile, "I don't have a home anymore. Everyone in my family is dead. Why should I go back? So be it. Don't worry about me. I've gotten used to my current life."

Zeng Wangcai watched You Benhua leave quietly, his back looking desolate and heroic.

In the next few days, Zeng Wangcai received news from You Benhua, confirming that things were developing according to plan. He then took Xiaobao and Lin Huyang and set out on the road back to Sijiu City.

......

Late September, Red Star Primary School.

The school bell rang, the doors of each classroom opened, and the children who had been cooped up in school all day rushed out like wild horses that had broken free from their reins, and then lined up in the playground, arranged according to their class positions.

The team of Class One, Grade Four was quickly organized. The transfer students, brothers Zeng Hao and Zeng Bang, stood at the end of the team. They were the tallest and best dressed, and they seemed a little out of place with the rest of the class.

A female teacher who was in her thirties and looked very young walked to the front of the class, Grade 4, Class 1.

"Classmates..."

"Goodbye, Teacher Ran!" The brothers Zeng Hao and Zeng Bang responded very smoothly. As soon as the teacher spoke, they said goodbye and prepared to leave.

"Stop right there, both of you!" Ran Qiuye held down the new transfer student, "The teacher hasn't finished speaking yet. I have something to announce today."

"Oh!" The two brothers immediately stood still obediently.

They have been in school for less than a month and have not yet made friends with their classmates. They are somewhat unable to adapt to school life and just want to go home after school every day.

Ran Qiuye, who has become a teacher again, is now the head teacher of Class One, Grade Four. Before school was over, the principal of the elementary school suddenly called a meeting of all the head teachers as the school was going to hold a major event during the National Day.

This event is divided into two parts. The first part is to select a group of students to go to Tiananmen Square to participate in the celebration; the second part is for students in school to organize a cultural performance to celebrate National Day.

Because the notice came too quickly, the class teachers could only talk to the students about it after school.

After rectifying the class discipline, Ran Qiuye said loudly: "Classmates, our National Day is coming in a few days. Our school is scheduled to hold a parent-teacher meeting tomorrow afternoon. Students must notify their parents to attend. They cannot be absent. It is best if the father comes."

"Teacher!" Zeng Hao raised his hand, "My dad is not at home!"

"Teacher!" Zeng Bang raised his hand, "My dad is not at home either!"

"Hahaha!"

The students in Class 1, Grade 4 burst into laughter, and Ran Qiuye was speechless.

Everyone knows that the Zeng Hao brothers are twins, but no one knows that their father is Zeng Wangcai. However, even if they knew it, it would not matter. In an era when news spread mainly by word of mouth, it would be impossible for Zeng Wangcai to become famous among the common people.

"If dad is not at home, mom can do it too!" Ran Qiuye asked the students to calm down and said again, "But it's better if it's dad. This parents' meeting is very important. Do you understand?"

"I understand!"

"Okay, disband!"

"Ohhhhh, school is over!"

"..."

The students dispersed and ran towards the school gate. In those days, there was no such thing as parents picking up and dropping off children.

It's not about safety. Taking pictures of beauties in this era is much more glamorous than in later generations, mainly because parents don't have time.

Nowadays, children finish school early and their parents are still at get off work. This is unlike the past, when parents go home from get off work but the children are still studying hard under the lamp.

"Boss, how about we ask grandma to attend the parent-teacher meeting tomorrow?" Zeng Bang said as he walked out of the school gate.

"As long as you are not afraid of being beaten by mom, just say that." Zeng Hao pouted, "You broke the school chair and are afraid that mom will beat you. It was you who broke it, not me. You notify grandma to come. When mom beats you, can I run away?"

"I didn't mean it!" Zeng Bang said aggrievedly, "Who knew that chair wouldn't explain it? Besides, I've already apologized to Teacher Ran, she probably won't tell mom, right?"

"It's hard to say..."

“It’s so worrying!”

The two brothers were talking to each other arm in arm, totally unaware that Zeng Wangcai and Xiao Bao were following them.

"What are you two talking about?" Zeng Wangcai couldn't stand it anymore, so he got in between his sons and put his left and right hands around one of them. "Did you do something wrong at school, so you're afraid of being beaten by your mother?"

"Dad, when did you come back?"

"Dad misses you so much, you have to attend the parent-teacher meeting tomorrow!"

"Dad, my second child broke the school chair..."

"..."

The two brothers were overjoyed and held their father's arm tightly.

In the Zeng family, it is a typical combination of a kind father and a strict mother. The two brothers are afraid of Zhang Xiuzhi but not Zeng Wangcai.

"Haha, it's just a parent-teacher meeting, I'll do it!" Zeng Wangcai rubbed his son's head affectionately, and the father and his two sons went home together, dragging a little leopard behind them.

On the way, Zeng Wangcai asked his son what he would say at the parents' meeting and learned that the school was going to hold an event.

"Brother, you will have to go to Tiananmen Square to receive the medals." Xiao Bao said with a sly smile, "You will definitely not be able to attend the school celebrations, or you can ask your sister-in-law to come to the parents' meeting."

"Uncle Leopard, why are you so mean?" Zeng Bang said angrily, "You wish we would get beaten..."

"Hiahia..." Little Leopard said with a sly smile, "You are right, if your mother beats you, she won't beat me."

"Little Leopard, this is not going to be easy for you!" Zeng Wangcai said with a smile, "Son, don't bother with your Uncle Leopard, he's getting married."

"I know, it's Aunt Linghua who's here."

"Uncle Leopard, grandma will beat your ass into pieces..."

Xiaobao's face immediately fell: "I don't want to play with you anymore, you and your son are bullying others."

Linghua is coming to get married soon. No one will oppose this, and there is only one reason for the leopard to be beaten, that is, Linghua is late, and there is a child in the belly.

"Dad, what did you just say about conferring an honor?"

"Dad, what about the school chairs?"

"Awarding honors..." Zeng Wangcai laughed, "It is I, your father, who will stand on the Tiananmen Tower. Those who attend the ceremony will see your father below the tower. It is an honor... The seat is not a problem. I will take care of it at the parents' meeting tomorrow."

"That's great..."

The two brothers didn't know what standing on the city wall meant. To them, solving the troubles at school and preventing their mother from having the chance to beat them was the greatest joy.

The entire city was in a state of excitement, especially the top leaders, and all departments were busy to ensure an unusual National Day ceremony.

Zeng Wangcai secretly hoped that one day he would be able to walk sideways...
