Xie Jun thought he was silent enough and was ready to leave after cleaning himself up. However, he was stopped by his brother, who had already woken up.
“Where are you going? I’ll have to check on your homework after breakfast.”
Xie Jun’s excited face was gone almost instantly. “Bro, can we do that a few days later? You and sis haven’t been home, and I missed you guys.”
“You were playing around, huh?” Xie Heng asked.
Xie Jun lowered his head and didn’t argue.
The little boy did miss his older brother, but that didn’t stop him from playing around.
As he used to be weak, he couldn’t play much like other children.
Now that his body had gotten healthier, nothing was stopping him from playing. He was still a kid, after all, and it was in their nature to have fun. No matter how good his self-control was, he could not stop himself from playing.
“I-I’m sorry…” Xie Jun mumbled. “I couldn’t stop myself from playing. There are a lot of things I wanted to try, so…”
“Did you have fun?”
“Not really. I was worried that you would scold me when you came back…”
“So, you didn’t have fun and didn’t do your homework?”
Xie Jun remained silent after that.
Xie Heng patted the little boy’s head. “There’s nothing wrong with playing, but you must learn to make a schedule. If you finished your homework earlier, then you could play to your heart’s content, no? ()r else, you would think of playing when you are studying and worry about your homework when you play. How is that fun?”
“It’s not.” “Then, do you know what you’ve done wrong?’
“Yes.”
“What should you do then?”
“Finish what I should do first before playing.”
“Good. Then, you’ll be able to finish your homework and play as much as you want after that. You have to remember that there are more important things that should be taken care of first.”
“Okay!” Xie Jun raised his head. “I accept any punishment!’
“Forgot it. I’ll let you off the hook just this one time.” Xie Heng wasn’t going to be too harsh on Xie Jun. “However, there’s no next time, okay?”
“Okay!” Xie Jun nodded before he whispered, “Bro, did sis invite you to her room?”
Xie Heng was speechless for a second before yelling, “Bring your homework out!
I want to check them!’
Shocked, Xie Jun wailed in his head, scolding himself for being a busybody.
He went into his room and returned with the passage he had copied for the past few days.
Xie Heng turned into a strict teacher and picked out all of Xie Jun’s mistakes. His criticism was so harsh that he made the boy drop his head.
Fortunately, his handwriting was the only thing Xie Jun didn’t do well enough. He still perfectly memorized all the passages that Xie Heng had asked him to. In the end, he just had to rewrite all the words he didn’t perfect ten times. Xie Heng then went and cleaned himself up before making breakfast.
Zhao Chuchu waited until then before coming out of the room.
When she saw Xie Jun fully focused on writing, she couldn’t help but laugh.
However, she didn’t interrupt the little boy and went to check what breakfast Xie Heng was making.
When Xie Jun heard his sister-in-law’s voice, he ran into the kitchen excitedly and dragged her out.
Xie Heng looked at his brother, and all he could think of was that the punishment wasn’t enough.
Xie Jun had no idea that he would get in trouble again.
“Sis! How was the city?” Xie Jun asked, wanting to hear stories of the big city. Zhao Chuchu glanced at his homework and patted his head. “Junjun, I think you should finish your homework first, or else, your brother will make you write more. Didn’t you promise to focus on what’s important first?”
Xie Jun chuckled embarrassingly and said, “Alright. I’ll finish them first!’
“Good boy.”
The little boy then started to focus on his writing again.
Xie Heng saw that and didn’t say anything else.
After breakfast, Zhao Chuchu headed to the watermill workshop.
Niu Tongsheng had his own idea of managing the workshop, and it started to look like a factory from the future.
When he spotted Zhao Chuchu, he quickly greeted her. “Chuchu, you’re up early.”
“I’m just here to take a look. You’ve been doing a great job managing this place,
Chief.”
“I just did what I thought was right. I’m not sure if it’s good or not. If you think it’s okay, then it’s good enough for me.”
“The workshop will only grow bigger if this goes on.”
“I hope so. Are you here to see the new employees?”
“No. I happened to pass by. I won’t be here for long.”
Zhao Chuchu had no intention of spending much time on the workshop matters..
