To make He Yu regret - Chapter 3

The big stone in her heart fell to the ground, and Xu Meiyin happily talked about Aunt Fan’s return. The new nanny resigned and the nanny room where Aunt Fan lived was restored.
Jiang Mingzhen knew that Aunt Fan was coming back, so she was naturally too happy. When she heard about the news early in the morning, she jumped downstairs as soon as she woke up and said she was going to the station to pick up Aunt Fan. Xu Meiyin quickly explained that the aunt would be back after a few days. So Jiang Mingzhen wilted like a discouraged ball.
　　
“In these few days, you can help mom and decorate Aunt Fan’s son’s room.”
　
Jiang Mingzhen showed interest, “Who?”
　　
“Aunt Fan’s son, he is also coming to live with Aunt Fan.”
Xu Meiyin rubbed on her daughter’s forehead and said with a smile, “In the future, you will have one more person at home to play with Xiaozhen. Are you happy?”
　　
She was happy, but Jiang Mingzhen sniffed, not wanting to be too obvious, “How old is he?”

“He should be a little older than you.” Xu Meiyin speculated. Aunt Fan used to be Xiaozhen’s nanny, and her child would probably be several months older than Xiaozhen. “Oh.” The corner of Jiang Mingzhen’s mouth flew up again.

Children like to play with children older than themselves, and Jiang Mingzhen was no exception.
She was the only daughter in the family and had no siblings. The only few playmates of the same age didn’t play with her because of Jiang Mingzhen’s poor personality. Now there was a new boy coming. She was so excited that she couldn’t wait to beat the drums with her fists on the table.
　　
“He can live in my toy room.” Jiang Mingzhen suggested. The toy room was next to her room.
Xu Meiyin didn’t see her thoughts, “You don’t need your toy room? There are many guest rooms at home.” Jiang Mingzhen insisted, “He will definitely like the toy room more. The toy room has many of my toys.” Suddenly, Xu Meiyin flashed a hint of worry when she heard her daughter’s natural tone of making decisions for others in advance.
　　
“Xiaozhen, when Aunt Fan’s son comes, you have to be polite to him, understand?”
　　
“Yes.” Jiang Mingzhen responded. But Jiang Mingzhen’s definition of politeness was not the same as Xu Meiyin.
　　
“Last time, my friend brought her daughter to our house. I also told you to be polite. But you insisted her to play blocks with you. She didn’t want to play, then you just threw blocks at her. Last time you did not do what you promised me.”
　　
“I’m very polite. I asked her to play with me. I took all the blocks out and she didn’t want to play.” Jiang Mingzhen’s eyes widened and her face was incredulous, “The blocks are so fun!”
　　
“You think it’s fun, but others won’t necessarily think it’s fun. I tell you to be polite. To respect your guests’ choice. Just let them do what they want and consider their feelings first.” Xu Meiyin said so earnestly and heartily, but the one opposite to her was just a five-year-old foolish kid. Jiang Mingzhen didn’t understand anything.But she felt that her mother made a lot of sense, so she said, “Oh oh”, and nodded like a chick.
　　
On the day the nanny took the child into the city, Jiang Mingzhen made preparations in advance. She called many friends to come home. Jiang Mingzhen found that every time she plays with other children alone, the new kid wouldn’t be able to have fun, so she brought them to introduce him. If there were other children present, he could play with other kids too, then he would be the happiest. She thought this was what her mother calls “polite.” Considering the feelings of the guests first, than herself. When the children were playing at noon, the doorbell of her house finally rang. When the bell rang, Jiang Mingzhen jumped up like a frightened bird and ran to the backyard. The friends didn’t know what was happening. Seeing her nervous, like she saw a big enemy, they thought she was playing some ghost game, and rushed to the backyard with her.
　　
Xu Meiyin went downstairs and opened the door. She was wondering as to why the noisy living room became quiet.
　　
“Xiaozhen? Xiaozhen?” No one answered. A group of little ghosts squatted in the backyard, their heads leaning against the door, focusing on the person who was about to enter.
　
Xu Meiyin opened the door. Later, He Yu asked Jiang Mingzhen what her impression was when she first saw him. She answered honestly, “You are very ordinary.”

He Yu did look like an ordinary five-year-old boy. With short hair. The round face with bulging cheeks. One nose, two eyes, one mouth. There was nothing worthy of comment.

Ordinary, what could she say besides ordinary. The little boy from the countryside that Jiang Mingzhen imagined, would be a little darker and thinner than him. But the appearance of this boy was no different from the five-year-old boy in the city. He was not dark, as his mother’s face was wiped white and clean. He was like a steamed bun, which was round and not sleek, the kind that was made neatly and steamed very thoroughly.
　　
Because what He Yu asked Jiang Mingzhen about was her impression of seeing him for the first time, she could only say ordinary. If he asked, how she felt about him when she saw him for the first time…
　
Jiang Mingzhen prefered to eat his round-shaped bun cheeks. So when she saw He Yu for the first time, she wanted to bite him.
