After dinner, Mama Jiao went dancing with some teachers from her school. Jiao Yuan went to play basketball with Xiong Xiong and would come home with Mama Jiao. Youzi went along with her cousin. Mama Jiao felt it best that she interact more with other kids from the quarters. Some of her classmates were going as well.
Only Papa Jiao and Zheng Tan were home. Papa Jiao looked like he had something on his mind and was in a bad mood. As for Zheng Tan, he was thinking about Kitty Zhuo and didn't want to go out.
Zheng Tan was sprawled on the sofa when he glimpsed Papa Jiao in the bedroom. His computer was on but he wasn't doing anything on it. He was reading Lu Xun again.
Zheng Tan jumped on the desk. Papa Jiao was reading Hot Wind today.
Papa Jiao looked up and smiled.
"What? You interested?"
Zheng Tan quickly retreated. He didn't understand most of the articles in the book.
Papa Jiao put down the book. "Charcoal, it's just you and me now. Let's talk."
