Chapter 399: Lying

Three buses swayed their way towards the outskirts of the city.

Gu Chen and his daughter, Tang Tang, were sitting in one of them.

Compared to the slight feeling of crowding in the other seats, Gu Chen and his daughter had the most comfortable seats.

After all, he was the only man on the entire bus.

The rest of the people out with their children were all young mothers.

The whole carriage was full of chatter, and everyone seemed to be getting along well with each other.

Only Gu Chen was the quietest here, as if he were cut off from the world, and no one came over to him.

After all, no one knew each other very well.

And after a few days of word-of-mouth fermentation, and the wild imaginations of a group of parents,

Gu Chen has already gone from being a womaniser who eats his wife's soft food, to a more advanced version of himself.

There are also many brand new settings, and all kinds of bizarre family entanglements from the various story-telling sessions.

There are stories about how he hooked up with a rich woman and how he eats soft food.

There are even different versions of the story about how many steel wool balls he uses at night.

The only thing that is the same is that Gu Chen undoubtedly plays the role of the buffoon in all these stories.

The main character, who should be despised and spurned by everyone.

Gu Chen had heard a little about this, but in fact, he was too lazy to care.

After all, no matter how much they gossiped about him in private, he couldn't hear them.

And there was no way he could rush over and stop them.

Besides, he knew that these guys spent their days either getting their hair permed or shopping.

They probably just had a lot of spare time on their hands, and there was a pitiable lack of information on the internet these days.

Most of the good movies and games were imported.

These women, who have no shortage of money at home, spend their days gossiping about the latest news.

So they can only make up gossip and have a laugh together while they are at the spa and getting their beauty treatments.

The children are always full of energy and active, and this is coupled with the idle gossip of dozens of women.

The sound inside the entire bus is basically no different from that of a food market.

Zhang, who is sitting in the passenger seat of the bus and came out together, feels a little restless at this time.

The main reason was, of course, that she was sitting too far away to join in the parents' chatter.

And the journey was going to be a long one, which made her feel slightly uncomfortable.

And she thought that the people talking together were really noisy.

Then she stood up and put on a professional smile again.

First she clapped her hands to attract everyone's attention.

Then she said to the children in the car:

'Children, there is still half an hour's drive to the destination.

Would it be good if the teacher tells you a story next?'

Upon hearing this, the many children in the car suddenly felt as if they had returned to class.

They all sat up straight in their seats at once and said in unison:

'Yes!'

Teacher Zhang was telling the story of the little horse crossing the river, and the children in the kindergarten class were listening with great interest.

Meanwhile, many of the mothers, who had been interrupted and were now not allowed to say a word,

were now green with anger.

After all, they had been in the middle of a gossiping session.

Now they were suddenly interrupted, and as a result, they felt a little uncomfortable.

Moreover, the people sitting in the car were all kindergarteners.

The story the teacher was telling was not at all appealing to these adult parents.

But they couldn't make a sound, otherwise they would be the ones ruining the children's lesson.

This made them feel a little bad all of a sudden.

Gu Chen, sitting on one side, looked at the depressed expressions of the female parents next to her.

She couldn't help but smile and shake her head, and the feeling of silence in the car was quite nice.

She thought to herself, 'Sure enough, this is what they call a bird of a different feather. Just now, they were still arranging others.

I didn't think they would be so easily deflated so soon.

But after all is said and done, it was just a little story. Even if Teacher Zhang deliberately slowed down the pace,

In fact, it was over very quickly, and afterwards she simply used the car as a classroom.

She started asking the children in the car again about the story she had just told.

They were finally given the chance to show off.

The parents, who had been a little drowsy, suddenly became excited.

They began to urge their children to raise their hands.

This was a chance to show off in front of the whole class, and the children didn't know how to seize the opportunity, so they had to give them a nudge.

Of course, the specific question the teacher asked was whether the children around them had really learned.

That didn't matter, because their child was so smart that there was no way they wouldn't understand and learn.

Even if there were really problems, it must be that the teacher's teaching skills were lacking.

Soon, in response to her question, almost all the children in the car raised their little hands at the same time.

Teacher Zhang was also quite speechless about this. She knew exactly what these children had learned.

So she decided to ask a few of the smarter children to answer.

This would give the parents an excuse to leave, but at that moment

she suddenly saw Tang Tang sitting next to Gu Chen, completely detached from the situation, looking indifferent.

This immediately piqued her interest, because in the past few days in kindergarten, Tang Tang had often looked like this.

She had previously thought that it was because he had just transferred there a few days ago and was not quite used to it.

That's why she didn't raise her hand, but now, judging from her expression, it seems that wasn't the case.

'Tantan, did you understand the story the teacher told earlier?'

Teacher Zhang crouched down and asked quite patiently and gently.

Tantan just nodded her head vigorously and said sweetly in response.

'Teacher Zhang, the stories you told, Mummy has told them to Tantan before.

I understood them all.'

'Huh?'

Teacher Zhang felt a little surprised, and couldn't help but glance at Gu Chen next to her.

She suddenly felt that the other person's home education was quite good.

She had actually learned so much knowledge in advance, but she had never trusted parents teaching their own children.

So she continued to ask:

'So, Tang Tang, apart from the story of the little horse crossing the river, what else has your mother taught you?'

Upon hearing this, Tang Tang couldn't help but tilt her little head and think for a while.

Then she smiled and said to the teacher in front of her:

'Well, I can recite Tang poetry, memorise English words, draw pictures, do arithmetic and dance. Before, when Mum wasn't busy, she kept saying how clever Tang Tang was. And Miss Chen, my former interest class teacher, also said that Tang Tang might become a big star in the future!'

The daughter sitting next to Gu Chen said with confidence in a sweet and mellow voice.

However, when Zhang heard this, she felt a little uneasy. She felt that as a young child, Tangtang could not possibly know so many things.

This was obviously boasting.

As a teacher, she felt responsible for correcting this bad habit.
