NOVEL NEXT Chapter 71: Qi’s Mother: This Scene Seems Familiar!
Qi’s mother was cooking at home when she heard a commotion outside, thinking something had happened.
When she went out to look, she saw so many people!
Wang Shang was standing at the door, and behind him were five or six people she didn’t recognize.
There were both men and women, and they all seemed to be around her age.
Seeing Qi’s mother come out, the people started talking excitedly.
“So this is Qi Yun’s home?”
“You must be Qi Yun’s mother, right?”
“We are the parents of Qi Yun’s classmates……”
Looking for Qi Yun?
Did Qi Yun get into trouble outside?
Qi’s mother started to get a little scared.
So many people were looking for Qi Yun. Did they come to confront him?
She couldn’t possibly handle a confrontation.
“Ah, who said we are……”
“Mom! Is someone looking for me?”
Qi Yun was in his room when he heard someone calling his name outside. He couldn’t help but come out.
As soon as he stepped outside, he saw his mother signaling to him with her eyes, her eyes almost twitching.
Qi’s father also came out, looking puzzled.
……
“Ah, so you’re Qi Yun! You look so spirited!”
“I am Li Du’s mother!”
“I am Qian Mu’s father!”
The group of people saw Qi Yun and started introducing themselves.
Qi Yun listened for a while and realized they were all his classmates’ parents.
“I am Qi Yun. What can I do for you all?” He asked, puzzled.
“We came specifically to thank you!”
“That’s right! Li Du’s grades improved so quickly this time.
I asked him, and he said it was because of your lectures!”
“Yes! The same goes for Qian Mu. I don’t know how to thank you!”
Qi’s mother, standing on the side, understood what was happening.
They weren’t here to confront Qi Yun but to thank him. She felt relieved.
“Please come in. You don’t need to bring anything!”
These people didn’t come empty-handed. They were carrying gifts, although they weren’t anything expensive. Mainly beverages, fruits, and supplements. There was even a man dressed modestly, holding a live chicken.
“It’s not sincere to come empty-handed. These things are all for Qi Yun!” Qi’s mother felt a bit embarrassed.
“We’re classmates, and helping each other is natural, right?”
“The kids might not understand, but how can we, as adults, not understand? Hiring a tutor is so expensive these days, and Qi Yun’s teaching is better than any tutor’s! Please accept these gifts!”
At this point, Qi Yun said, “Actually, the main reason is their own efforts. They improved their grades because they worked hard.”
This statement wasn’t modest at all.
Not everyone in the class had improved their grades. Some even declined. The significant improvement came from those who had always worked hard but hadn’t grasped some key points.
Once Qi Yun explained, their understanding improved, resulting in good results.
“Without you, how could they have improved? Come, come, take these fruits and enjoy!” A middle-aged woman handed a bag of fruits to Qi Yun.
Others followed suit, stuffing things into Qi Yun’s arms.
Qi Yun couldn’t take it all.
They placed the items on the ground, not giving Qi’s family a chance to refuse. Only the man with the live chicken didn’t move. After all, the chicken was alive and tied up.
Even if they put it on the ground, it would keep moving around, causing trouble.
The man looked at Qi Yun and said apologetically, “I am Zhao Gang’s father, and we don’t have much at home. This time, I caught a chicken for you. We raise it ourselves, a free-range chicken with tender meat. It tastes great!”
Qi Yun remembered Zhao Gang. His family, indeed, didn’t have good living conditions.
Qi Yun pondered for a moment and reached out to take the chicken.
“Free-range chicken? I’ve never had it before. I heard it was expensive! Mom, let’s have it for lunch today!”
Standing among the group, the man felt relief when he heard Qi Yun’s words.
He smiled in relief.
Since the gifts had been given, the parents didn’t stay for long. After all, it was mealtime, and staying longer would disrupt Qi Yun’s family meal.
Watching the group of people walk away, Qi’s mother couldn’t help but sigh.
“To be honest, the last time classmates’ parents visited Qi Yun was in first grade.”
“Yes! That time he broke a classmate’s nose, and the parents came to our house, and we had to compensate for the damages,” Qi’s father also remembered, nodding along.
Qi Yun: ??? Why don’t I remember this?
“Don’t mention it. I was startled when I opened the door, and I even thought about letting Qi Yun turn himself in,” Qi’s mother said.
Qi Yun’s tone was complicated, “Mom, you have a great sense of justice!”
Qi’s mother confidently said, “With so many people, I can’t fight them, and we can’t afford the compensation. It’s better to let you go in. It’s safe inside, and they even provide food. Isn’t it great?”
Qi Yun couldn’t help but feel that his mother’s twisted reasoning made some strange sense.
After the family chatted, Qi’s mother went back to cooking. Qi Yun looked at the front door, ready to close it.
“Don’t close it! I deliberately left the door open!”
“Why?” Qi Yun couldn’t make sense of it.
“We have chicken today! Let everyone upstairs and downstairs smell it. It’s the chicken given to my son as a token of gratitude!”
Qi’s mother proudly said while chopping the meat.
Qi Yun: …… Alright.
……
While Qi Yun’s home welcomed a large group of people, high school students gathered around a milk tea shop.
“Is this the shop?”
“Yes! I asked around, and it’s clear that the students from Class One like to come to this shop mostly!”
“The students from Class One who come to this shop have shown a rapid improvement in their grades!”
The group of high school students turned their heads, their eyes filled with anticipation, looking at the milk tea shop.
