891 The Aspiration Is to Make Money
Zheng Peng observed that Qiao Mei was the complete opposite from how she was described in the rumors. He had thought that he would be able to avenge Zheng Yuan today, but he did not expect things to turn out like this.
After dinner, Zheng Peng brought the four children to the living room for a study session. The rest of them went to the side room for a chat. Qiao Mei pulled Xia Wen to one side and told him about what happened last night. She also gave Xia Wen her views on the matter.
“Let me think about this issue. They’re still being locked up at the police station now. It’ll be quieter for the next two days,” Xia Wen said as he took a sip of tea.
“Eldest brother, what about the issue at the factory?” Qiao Mei asked.!!
When Li Gui was reported against, Qiao Mei had asked Xia Wen for help to talk to the people at the factory and get them to make Qiao Yu more busy. Two days ago, Xia He had found Qiao Yu appearing often near the cinema and she heard that there were also many rumors going around in the factory. The matter between Qiao Yu and Su Yang had caused an uproar and it was easy to find out the details after asking around.
“It’s a simple matter and just a phone call away,” Xia Wen said.
“Just let her go,” Qiao Mei said expressionlessly.
Xia Wen understood what Qiao Mei meant. This matter was easy to handle and he would make the arrangements when he was back at work.
Zheng Peng did not immediately talk to the children about their studies. He wanted to find out more about each child’s aspiration.
Zhang Wei was the first to raise his hand and answer. He said confidently, “I want to become a soldier! I want to become as capable as my brother-in-law!”
Zheng Peng watched as Zhang Wei fantasized about replacing Xia Zhe in the future. It was quite interesting. Although he did not like Xia Zhe, he had to admit that Xia Zhe was indeed very outstanding in the military. It was not too exaggerated for a child to aspire to be like him.
“What about you?” Zheng Peng turned his gaze to Zhang Chao, who had been hugging his book and did not speak.
“I want to build airplanes. I want to build many, many things in the future. My elder sister told me that people in this profession are called engineers! They can design all kinds of things and are very capable people,” Zhang Chao said.
Zheng Peng nodded in satisfaction. The country was currently short of top-notch talents. When he came in, he had also taken a quick look at the kind of learning environment each child had. Zhang Chao had the most books in his room and many books were those that adults read.
“That’s very impressive, I think you can definitely do it!” Zheng Peng turned to look at the two girls and asked, “Then what about the two of you? What about your views? Tell me about them.”
Zhang Miao jumped up excitedly and said, “I want to become a pianist! I want to become the best pianist in the world!”
Zheng Peng was so amused by Zhang Miao’s childish innocence that he laughed out loud. He patted Zhang Miao on the head and said, “Then do you know how big the world is?”
Zhang Miao thought for a long time. She had only heard the word “world” from Zhang Chao. Zhang Chao said that the world was full of a wide variety of things and there were many things that they had never seen before in the entire planet.
However, she did not know what a “planet” was or what a “world” was. However, according to Zhang Chao, it was something that was super duper big.
“I know! My second brother said that it’s a place that can accommodate everyone! I want to become the most capable person among everyone!” Zhang Miao said.
“Then do you have any views?” Zheng Peng looked at Zhang Qin and asked gently.
Zhang Qin remained silent. There was nothing that she wanted. Previously, when she said that she wanted Xia He to teach her how to dance, it was only because she liked Xia He and so it extended to whatever Xia He liked. What she liked the most was to earn money and she liked anything that could earn money. However, Li Gui said that she was tacky and that she should study hard.
Zheng Peng looked at the changes in Zhang Qin’s expression seriously. The other three children all had very wondrous dreams, but when it came to Zhang Qin, why did she hold back and not say anything? Could it be that it was a sore subject?
“It’s fine if you don’t want to tell me. Everyone has the right to choose. No matter what you do, I will support you as your teacher,” Zheng Peng said.
“I… I want to earn money…” Zhang Qin whispered.
Zheng Peng was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Looking at the way these four children were dressed and their family’s financial condition, they did not seem to be so poor that they could not afford to eat. Why would this child say that she only wanted to earn money?
“Why?” Zheng Peng asked patiently.
Zhang Qin did not know why either. She only knew that she was very happy doing it and that she would feel very joyful and satisfied. She did not know anything else.
