Chapter 322 Little Tomorrow and Her Soldier Brother (47)
As for his son Xu Songze, it goes without saying that Xu's mother has been talked to by the teacher several times.
Unable to withstand the pressure from the school, Xu Songze has been transferred from the middle class to the lower class.
He didn't have to complain now. After all, his current class consisted of students with similar grades and mentalities to his, and the teacher wasn't very strict.
Basically, these people cannot get into high school and will be diverted to technical secondary schools and vocational schools.
Mother Xu was extremely worried and wanted to use her connections to send her son back to his original class, but the three middle class teachers were unwilling to accept her son.
Mother Xu brought the last dish to the table with a tired look on her face. Looking at the plate that had been stripped clean of almost no meat or vegetables left, she felt a chill in her heart.
She suppressed her anger and said to the people who were about to leave the table: "Are you planning to leave like this?"
"Mom, if you have anything to say, hurry up and say it!" Xu Xiaowei frowned and urged impatiently, "I have a New Year's Eve party with my friends. You're too slow today. I'm almost late."
"Yeah! You weren't so slow in previous years. Why are you so slow today?" His son Xu Songze also echoed, "I have an appointment with a friend to play games, and I'm about to break it."
Xu's mother was so angry that her hands were shaking. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. Then she said, "Look at this family. Is it still like Chinese New Year? You all only care about yourselves and don't consider my feelings at all!"
Father Xu looked at his wife and said in confusion, "Everyone is busy, who has time to take care of these things? Didn't you do it all by yourself before? Why are you so talkative this year? Are you in menopause?"
Mother Xu widened her eyes, unable to believe that her husband would say such a thing.
She questioned angrily, "When Youwei was at home, she would always help me and share the housework with me. How come she has no such idea at all when she comes to you guys? How tired am I from running around all by myself? Don't you see it?"
"Okay, okay, I know you're tired." Father Xu said disapprovingly, "But who isn't tired? I'm also tired after a day's work, and I have to listen to your nagging while eating New Year's Eve dinner. It's really annoying. Since you're not happy, we won't be at home to bother you."
After saying that, he stood up and walked out the door: "I made an appointment with my friends to play cards all night, and I went to stay up with them to celebrate the New Year."
Xu Xiaowei followed closely behind, quickly changed her clothes and went out.
Xu Songze did not go out, but went back to his room obediently. However, not long after, the sound of him and his friends playing games could be heard from the room.
Tears welled up in Xu Ma's eyes, but she held them back stubbornly.
She silently began to clear the table.
During this time, Xu Songze came out to get some water. He glanced at his mother and met her tearful eyes. Although he felt a little guilty, he did not want to admit his mistake.
He muttered, "Really? It's New Year's Day, and you have to make everyone feel bad."
After saying that, Xu Songze took the cup of water and turned back to his room.
Although the voice was very low, Xu's mother should have heard it, because the tears that had been in her eyes just now flowed out of her eyes.
Sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching the wall clock point to ten o'clock in the evening, she thought for a moment and called her second daughter who was spending the New Year away from home.
But no one answered the call twice.
It was only on the third time that Xu Youwei answered the call.
There was the sound of firecrackers on the other end of the phone.
Xu Ma didn't think her timid second daughter would set off firecrackers, so she asked, "Youwei, where are you? Why are you making so much noise?"
"What did you say? I can't hear you!" Xu Youwei looked at the brilliant fireworks in the sky, her face full of excitement.
They have special salute-style fireworks today, which are very loud and beautiful.
"Are you okay over there?" Xu's mother asked first, and then she planned to dump her "emotional garbage" as Wang usually did, "Mom is not well, Mom..."
"Anything else?" Xu Youwei interrupted her, "If not, I'll hang up. The signal here is not good, and the sound of the fireworks is so loud that I can't hear what you are saying.
Let’s talk later! I’m hanging up now.”
After saying that, Xu Youwei hung up the phone.
Mother Xu looked at her phone, feeling mixed emotions for a moment, as if no one could "listen" to her thoughts anymore.
In a bad mood, Xu's mother decided not to stay up all night. She was already tired enough that day, so she took a shower and went to bed to rest.
After an unknown amount of time, her cell phone kept ringing. Mother Xu was woken up and checked the time. It was just past one in the morning, which meant she had only slept for a few hours.
Looking at the several incoming calls from unfamiliar numbers on her phone, she hesitated whether she should call them.
Just at this moment, the number called again.
After thinking about it, Mrs. Xu answered the phone.
"Thank God, sister-in-law, you finally answered the phone." The person on the other end of the phone was a friend of Xu's father. They had made an appointment to play cards together today.
"What happened? You didn't go out to play cards, but instead got together to drink, and then our Mr. Xu got drunk?" Xu's mother intuitively thought that this was the reason.
"What did you drink? Come to the hospital quickly! Brother Xu was just taken here by ambulance." The man was obviously very anxious.
