Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Jin Nian was a very empathetic person. When she saw Lu Kekes sad face, her heart ached too. Whats wrong? she asked gently.
Lu Keke started counting on his fingers. I have to recite ancient poems in the morning, draw after breakfast, study math after lunch, and play the piano after lunch. Im really tired.
Jin Nian had never interfered with the childs education. The family had hired a professional child-rearing teacher who specialized in one-on-one tutoring for children of Lu Kekes age. Occasionally, Lu Xixi would learn from them, but she was still young, so the teacher did not ask her to learn. It was enough to just listen and see.
In addition, Lu An had gained experience in raising children over the past few years, so he had always been in charge of the children.
Jin Nians heart ached when she heard that Lu Kekes day was packed and he didnt even have a happy childhood. She didnt expect her children to be outstanding. She just hoped that the two little guys could grow up healthily and happily.
The next second, Lu Keke threw himself into Jin Nians arms and cried. Mommy, I want to watch cartoons. Can I just watch them for a while?
Jin Nian, who had been feeling sorry for him, suddenly realized that she had been tricked by Lu Keke. She couldnt help but smile. She picked up the little guy and said, About that, I need to ask your fathers opinion.
No need, Lu Keke said anxiously. Its just a small matter. Theres no need to alarm Daddy.
What a joke. Daddy will really spank people.
Daddy would not only spank his b.u.t.t, he would also spank his mothers b.u.t.t!
Lu Keke always remembered that one day, he and Lu Xixi were sleeping next to their parents when they vaguely heard their mother crying.
He didnt have many chances to sleep with his parents. Every time, he had to beg his parents to agree.
It would be too crowded if Lu Keke and Lu Xixi both got into the big bed, so they put a small bed next to the big bed for the siblings to sleep on.
However, as he was sleeping, he suddenly heard a sound. When the little guy opened his eyes, he saw his mothers back facing his father. His father was spanking his mothers b.u.t.t.
There was a smack. The expression on her mothers face was very strange, and her hair was a little messy.
At that time, Lu Keke had burst into tears, and Jin Nian and Lu An had stopped in their tracks.
Only G.o.d knew how embarra.s.sed Jin Nian at that moment. She quickly pulled the blanket over her head and pretended to be dead. She didnt have the time to do anything, or else she really wouldnt be able to face the child.
Lu Keke didnt give up. He crawled over and hit Lu An with tears on his face. Bad Daddy, bad Daddy, you hit Mommy!
His crying alarmed Lu Xixi. The little girl opened her eyes and cried as well, instantly breaking the silence of the night.
Lu An had no choice but to bite the bullet and come up with an excuse. Youre mistaken. Daddy is. .h.i.tting the mosquitoes on Mommys body.
Jin Nian immediately crawled out from under the blanket and echoed, Yes! There are so many mosquitoes. Mommys body is red from the bites. Really? Keke asked skeptically.
Jin Nian nodded. Yes, yes. Baby, did you have a nightmare just now?
I dreamt that Mommy was crying, said Lu Keke.
Why would Mommy cry? Jin Nian asked.
Keke started to doubt his life. Although he was young, he was already more than four years old. He didnt believe his parents nonsense. Of course, he knew whether he had nightmares or not.
As the saying went, one should not wash ones dirty linen in public. Of course, Lu Keke wouldnt tell anyone about this, but Grandma wasnt just anyone.
One day, when Grandma came home, Lu Keke took her hand and quietly went to the garden. He said mysteriously that he wanted to tell Grandma a secret. What secret? Xie He squatted down and asked with a smile.
I saw Daddy spank Mommys b.u.t.t, Lu Keke whispered into Xie Hes ear. They even lied to me and said there were mosquitoes. There are a few red spots on Mommys neck that were caused by Daddy!
Xie He looked embarra.s.sed after hearing this. She cleared her throat and said, Dont tell anyone about this secret. Its fine if you and I keep it between us.
I know. Keke nodded solemnly.
But Grandmother and Grandfather werent just anyone, were they?
Great-Grandma wasnt anyone else, was she?
Uncle Lu Feng wasnt just anyone!
Lu Kekes small mouth was like a small sieve, and anything could leak out.
Lu An had always been in charge of Lu Kekes education. The truth was not as bleak as Lu Keke had described.
Lu Keke wanted to memorize ancient poems, learn painting, play the piano, and learn arithmetic. Lu An had never forced him to do so.
Happy education had always been Lu Ans philosophy. Whatever Lu Keke wanted to learn depended on his hobbies. He had seen the children in the short videos who could draw and play the piano, and he insisted on learning them..
