Chapter 336


    Chu Feng thought that it was quite amusing. Ms. Luo was only delivering overused titudes. Not


    only was it devoid of any useful content, but it was also very boring.


    Yet somehow, that man could be "deeply moved" by the teacher''s "dedication."


    He must have aced theprehension test back in school!


    The other parents were not very happy that someone had spoken on their behalf, nor did they feel


    like apuding that boring speech.


    However, they did so out of courtesy anyway.


    Ms. Luo was incredibly ttered. She said, "Thank you, everyone. If all the parents can empathize


    with the teachers like Mr. Jiang did, our job will be much easier."


    "You tter me, Ms. Luo. All I did was walk a mile in your shoes."


    The shrewd-looking man smiled fawningly and took one step ahead. "Ms. Luo, I''ve heard that you''re


    a tea connoisseur. I''ve brought some genuine Mount Shi Longjing tea I asked someone to buy.


    Would you like to have a taste?"


    "Oh, really? You''re too considerate, Mr. Jiang."


    "Don''t mention it. It''s our obligation as parents."


    Ms. Luo was satisfied by that man''s ttering words. She never stopped smiling.


    The other parents smirked while whispering to each other, using words like "bootlicker" and "brown-


    noser" to describe that man. They were unhappy that he had used the other parents to make


    himself look good in front of the teacher.


    Chu Feng watched all that with curiosity. He asked, "Who''s that guy? Why is he such a show-off?"


    "His name is Jiang Fengguang. His shamelessness knows no bounds," Yun Muqing rolled her eyes


    and said.


    Jiang Fengguang was infamous among the parents for being a serial bootlicker.


    He was a civil servant, and he held a minor leadership position obtained by brown-nosing his


    superiors. Unfortunately for the other parents, Jiang Fengguang brought that obsequious behavior


    into the parents'' chat group. He volunteered to be the admin, and he often spoke up "on behalf" of


    the other parents.


    He was the first one to reply to any announcements from the teachers. Not only that, he would often


    share requests for votes or shares whenever the teachers or his child needed to win a poprity


    poll. In short, he was very annoying.


    Also, during special asions, he would rally the other parents to chip in money to buy presents for


    the teachers "to appreciate their sacrifice". At first, he would ask for a few hundred yuan to buy


    bouquets. That evolved to shopping vouchers worth a few thousand yuan and even luxury


    handbags worth several ten thousand yuan.


    Worst of all, when the kindergarten principal''s dog died the week before, he had posted his


    condolences in the group and even asked everyone to chip in two hundred yuan…


    "That guy is a total weirdo. If we''re at war now, he''ll be the first one to betray the country," Yun


    Muqing said through gritted teeth. "Why do you think anyone would behave like that? Is it so fun to


    suck up to someone else? What benefits can a kindergarten teacher give him? At most, they''ll give


    his child some candy or offer the child the best seat in the ssroom. I wonder why he''d sacrifice


    his dignity for that."


    Chu Feng chuckled and said calmly, "It''s not that he doesn''t value his dignity, but he''s used to


    brown-nosing for his entire life. I''ve read this in a book before: It''s not wrong to be submissive, as


    long as one strives to elevate themselves from that position. However, if one findsfort in


    submission, they would be truly irredeemable. It seems that Mr. Jiang is stuck in that mindset, so


    he''ll be submissive for the rest of his life."


    Yun Muqing thought about it for a while and smiled. "When you put it like that, I don''t really find him


    that annoying. Instead, I kind of feel sorry for him…"


    What value would a person have if they sacrifice their dignity to gain others'' attention? They would


    be worse than a dog. At least a dog would bare their teeth at their enemies.

    "Haha, well said, bro. That Jiang bastard is born to be a bootlicker."


    A strong man with tanned skinughed and walked over to Chu Feng. He extended his hand and


    said with a smile, "I''m Yang Gang. I overheard what you said about Fengguang earlier, and I


    couldn''t have said it better. I could never see that guy eye to eye anyway. Why don''t we be friends?"


    Chu Feng smiled and shook his hand. "Chu Feng. I''m Duo Duo''s father."


    Yun Muqing also smiled and greeted Yang Gang. He had an outgoing personality, and the three


    people soon found a lot inmon.


    During the chat, Chu Feng found out that Yang Gang was a former soldier. That gave Chu Feng a


    good impression of that man, and they promised they would have some drinks togetherter in the


    night.


    "Hey, Brother Yang, where''s your child?" Yun Muqing asked curiously.


    The other children at the winter camp were already running around and ying with each other, but


    Yun Muqing could not see Yang Gang''s child anywhere.


    When his child was mentioned, a hint of sadness shed on Yang Gang''s face, a departure from his


    usual demeanor. He sighed and said, "Well, my child is… a bit special…"


    He turned around and said, "Honey, bring Doudou over."


    A woman in her thirties came over pushing a wheelchair. In the wheelchair was a sickly five-year-


    old boy, and his frame was smaller than a girl''s. "Good afternoon," he greeted Chu Feng and Yun


    Muqing timidly.


    Chu Feng and Yun Muqing were surprised. They suddenly felt sorry for Yang Gang.


    "Brother Yang, Doudou is…"


    The woman said, "Doudou is born with muscr dystrophy. He''s been stuck in a wheelchair ever


    since he''s a toddler."


    She sighed and continued, "Because of his condition, he''s quite reserved, and he doesn''t have


    many friends. Even though he doesn''t say it, I can tell he really wants to y with his friends. Too


    bad, he won''t be able to do that. The doctor said he''ll never stand on his feet…"


    By now, the woman was already sobbing. "We owe him so much. We couldn''t provide him with a


    happy childhood. He''s only five. Life shouldn''t be so cruel to him."


    Doudou tugged his mother''s arm with his bony hand as thoughforting her.


    Yang Gang forcefully exhaled and said, "I insisted that Doudou attend this winter camp. Even if he


    might not be able to stand up, I don''t want him to spend his life alone in a wheelchair. I want to bring


    him to see all the splendid sights of our country, no, the whole world. I want to let him know that his


    life can also be beautiful. I''ll do whatever it takes to make his life exciting."


    Yang Gang was grinning, though his gaze was gentle.


    Yun Muqing was already tearing up. She empathized with the father''s sacrifice for his son.


    She knew how Yang Gang felt. Once, she was driven out of the household because of Duo Duo.


    For five years, the mother and daughter had lived a hard life, but they pulled through.


    If Chu Feng had not suddenly appeared, Yun Muqing could not tell how their lives would be.


    Fortunately, Chu Feng was there for her.


    Chu Feng stepped up and said, "You''re right, Brother Yang. Everyone''s life is unique. No matter


    how life treats us, we should face reality with courage and do our best to pursue a beautiful life, but


    just for today, why don''t we take a break and let the children go on an adventure on their own?"


    He crouched in front of Doudou and smiled. "Doudou, do you want to y with the other kids?"
