But Jacob didn’t think much of it. People have emotional fluctuations, especially women’s emotions, which are even harder to grasp. Maybe Teacher Kyra was just in a bad mood today.
“Dad, tomorrow is the parent-child sports day! Teacher Kyra said there are many gifts, and we must win!”
Once in the car, Macy said with anticipation.
“Yes, we will definitely win!”
Jacob smiled and nodded. With the foundation he built from delivering food for a long time, plus some recent workouts, he felt his physical condition was quite good.
“By the way, Teacher Kyra taught you to recite ancient poems again today, right?”
“Uh-huh!”
Macy nodded repeatedly: “Dad, I remembered this time.”
“Then recite one for Dad to hear.”
Jacob was a bit excited because he noticed that Macy’s big eyes were filled with confidence, so she must have really memorized it.
“Okay.”
Macy nodded and then began her poetry recitation time for today.
“Sympathy for Farmers”
“Hoeing rice at noon, sweat drips onto the soil.”
The little girl’s voice was soft and sweet, and she recited the first two lines very smoothly.
Old father Jacob nodded slightly, feeling quite pleased, his eyes filled with gentle light.
She has improved; at least she didn’t recite something like ‘a big goose stewed in an iron pot.’
Then he heard Macy continue reciting: “Who knows the meal on the plate…”
“Who knows the meal on the plate…”
The little girl got stuck here. She tilted her little head and thought seriously for a moment, then her eyes lit up, and she exclaimed loudly: “Who knows the meal on the plate is not as good as roasted sweet potatoes!”
Jacob’s hand on the steering wheel trembled slightly, and his previously gentle gaze turned serious.
“Macy, are you sure this is what Teacher Kyra taught you?”
Jacob asked with a dark face.
“Yes!”
Macy nodded earnestly: “Teacher Kyra made us recite it many times together!”
“Don’t you think the latter part of that sentence is problematic?” Jacob asked.
“Dad, did I recite it wrong again?”
Macy pouted her little mouth, looking pitifully at her driving father.
“Who knows the meal on the plate, every grain is hard-earned.”
Jacob helplessly corrected her.
“Oh, oh, oh, that’s how Teacher Kyra recited it.”
Macy nodded repeatedly, then pouted and complained: “It’s all Eli Jaxon’s fault; I had already memorized it!”
“Again with Eli Jaxon.”
Jacob remembered that the last time the ‘big goose stewed in an iron pot’ incident was also caused by this kid.
Hmm, his ability to make up stories is quite good. When he grows up, he can go to Stockviv to write novels; maybe he can even achieve platinum status!
Coastville University.
Lara and Vivian were both packing their bags, as they were moving tomorrow.
Although living in a dorm meant limited space and they couldn’t have too much luggage, girls always had a lot of miscellaneous items.
“Lara, what car does your brother-in-law drive? I wonder if all this stuff will fit.”
Vivian had already packed two suitcases full of clothes, and two large woven bags were filled with other miscellaneous items, and she still hadn’t finished packing.
“His car is quite big, but it seems like we have too much stuff. It might be better to call a delivery service,” Lara said. Her luggage was similar to Vivian’s, just with a bit less clothing, but she had a lot of books, filling an entire large woven bag.
“We can take your brother-in-law’s car for ourselves and some fragile items, and then let the delivery service take the rest of the luggage.”
Vivian came up with a solution.
“Yeah, that works too.” Lara nodded, thinking it was a feasible plan.
“Hey, my landlord sent me a message?”
Vivian had been busy packing and hadn’t looked at her phone. Now that she was almost done, she picked up her phone and saw that her landlord had sent her a message.
She quickly opened the message and then froze: “Huh?”
“What’s wrong?”
Lara, who was drinking water, looked at her in confusion.
“The landlord refunded the rent, saying the house is temporarily not for rent.”
“How can they do that? They should have said something earlier!!”
Vivian complained angrily, wanting to curse the landlord in the message, but she first accepted the refunded rent.
Once the money was in her account, Vivian angrily replied, “This is a breach of contract! Just refunding the rent isn’t enough!”
After sending that message, she asked Lara, “Lara, shouldn’t we demand compensation?”
“Theoretically, we could.”
Lara had never experienced something like this and didn’t know what to do.
“Then we should ask for one month’s rent as compensation!”
Vivian immediately sent another message to the landlord: At least compensate us for one month’s rent!
However, after sending the message, she was met with a red exclamation mark.
“Huh?”
“They actually blocked me!!”
“What kind of person is this!!”
Vivian gritted her teeth in anger, feeling a sense of helplessness as if she had punched a pillow.
“This person is so untrustworthy!”
Lara was also speechless, not expecting to encounter such a situation.
“Ah, I’m so mad!!”
“I’m going to sue them!!”
