Chapter 040 Xiao Qiu is in the spotlight

"My grandma was arrested by the police yesterday!"

As soon as Shi Qiu Shui entered the kindergarten classroom early in the morning, he heard Xiaopang shouting excitedly with a flushed face.

Xiaopang: "Really? Oh, don't disbelieve me! My grandma was arrested by the police and disciplined for a long time. My parents went to the police station this morning to get her back."

Shi Qiushui: ...

Keep your voice down, Fatty. This is not a glorious thing!

But Fatty had no such awareness. He kept chattering, "Has your grandma ever been arrested by the police? Has she ever been detained at the police station? No!"

Xiaopang's belly was bulging, and he had a proud smile on his face. Luckily, Xiaopang's grandmother wasn't there; if she had known what Xiaopang had done, she would have made him eat a feast of bamboo shoots and pork.

The other children in the classroom kept exclaiming "Wow".

Even Xiao Taozi, who always loves to spoil Xiaopang's fun, didn't do anything this time. Instead, she looked at him with envy and said, "Xiaopang, your grandma is so amazing!"

Xiaopang raised his chin and said, "Impressive, right? Of course my grandma is amazing!"

"Little Fatty, what did your grandma do to get arrested by the police?"

"Yes, Xiaopang, tell us. We also want our grandma to be arrested by the police."

"Xiaopang, if you are good friends with us, just tell us!"

“…”

Shi Qiushui: ...

She looked at the other children surrounding Xiaopang and felt deeply that she was out of place.

Shi Qiu Shui pursed her lips, walked around the children who were gathered together, and went straight to her seat.

Not all the kids in the class were surrounding Xiaopang. At least Shi Qiushui's deskmate, Zhao Ran, was sitting quietly in his seat reading a book. Shi Qiushui glanced at him when he passed by him.

Well, Zhao Ran was reading foreign books that she had never even heard of.

Because of the example of Zhao Ran, Shi Qiu Shui's behavior of returning to her seat was not abrupt. She sat down in her seat, supported her chin and began to think.

Little Fatty’s grandmother was taken to the police station, which means Uncle Xu and the others had already taken action last night. The two scammers should have been caught as well, right?

That should be the case, right?

After all, if it was found out that the qigong master who taught Xiaopang’s grandmother was not those two scammers, the police would not arrest them, right?

Shi Qiu Shui was so obsessed with this matter that she couldn't help but get distracted during class. She couldn't wait to find her father to find out the news.

But it’s still early for school to end.

Zhao Ran glanced at Shi Qiu Shui, whose eyes began to become dull and lifeless again, sighed, and stretched out his little hand to poke her.

"Ah?" Shi Qiu Shui felt someone poking his arm and immediately came back to his senses.

Zhao Ran pointed at the teacher on the podium, motioning the teacher to look over and let Shi Qiu Shui concentrate on listening.

"Oh." Shi Qiu Shui quickly turned around and listened carefully.

"bell--"

Fortunately, the class was not long and it was soon time to end. Shi Qiu Shui stretched himself and turned to thank Zhao Ran seriously.

"Thank you, Zhao Ran."

Zhao Ran nodded lightly and said, "It's okay." Then he lowered his head to read again.

Shi Qiushui had glanced at Zhao Ran before. He was reading a foreign book whose words she couldn't even recognize. She had no interest in the book at first, but seeing how seriously Zhao Ran was reading, she asked curiously, "Zhao Ran, is this book you're reading interesting?"

Zhao Ran: "Hmm...it's okay. I got it from my mom's bookcase. It's about philosophy. It's a bit boring actually, but the class is even more boring."

Shi Qiu Shui's big eyes, with distinct black and white, were filled with confusion.

What is philosophy?

Why did she feel bored just by listening?

She rubbed her cheeks and said, "Well, I saw you were reading so seriously, I thought it was a very interesting book."

However, Zhao Ran seemed to read any book very seriously.

Before, she had watched Zhao Ran reading "Zhuangzi" with great interest. You know, her father couldn't help feeling sleepy when reading this book!

Maybe Zhao Ran is just born different from others!

Shi Qiu Shui accepted this setting very easily. She blinked her eyes and was about to say something else when she saw Teacher Kobayashi leading the headmaster and two people in police uniforms walking in from the front door of the classroom.

"Xue Kexuanbibibi opened his eyes wide and looked at Fang Xiaoke who came in with Teacher Xiaolin in shock.

Fang Xiaoke noticed Shi Qiu Shui's gaze, raised the corners of her mouth, and winked at her secretly.

Shi Qiu Shui pursed her lips and smiled gently, but she felt strange in her heart.

What is Sister Xiaoke doing in the kindergarten?

Her doubt was quickly answered. Teacher Kobayashi on the stage had a flushed face and her voice was no longer as gentle as usual, but trembling with excitement. She clapped her hands and began to speak.

"Come on, kids, let's be quiet and listen to Teacher Xiaolin. Go back to your seats. Teacher Xiaolin has good news to tell you."

The children in Class 2 were all very well behaved. After hearing what Teacher Kobayashi said, even though they didn’t know what was going on, they all returned to their seats.

Seeing that everyone was seated, Teacher Xiaolin spoke, "Children, please sit down. Teacher Xiaolin wants to share some very good news with everyone. A child in our class helped the police catch a bad guy. Who was it?" She looked at Shi Qiushui with bright eyes, "It's Xiaoqiu from our class!"

Fang Xiaoke took over Teacher Xiaolin's words and said with a smile, "Yes, we came here today to praise Shi Qiushui. Yesterday, my colleagues caught two fugitive fraudsters with her help!"

She cleared her throat and said, "We want to thank Shi Qiushui for her keen observation and highly responsible attitude. She reported any suspicious activity immediately, which greatly helped our police officers in hunting down the fugitive fraudster. On behalf of the District Public Security Bureau, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to Shi Qiushui. Thank you, Shi Qiushui!"

She raised her hand and saluted seriously, not being perfunctory at all because Shi Qiu Shui was a child.

Teacher Xiaolin excitedly said: "Xiaoqiu's performance this time was great. She not only provided help to the police, but also set an example for the children in our Class 2!"

She led the applause, and the children below followed suit.

In fact, the children in Class 2 still don’t know what a scammer is, and they don’t quite understand what Xiaoke says. But this doesn’t stop them from thinking Xiaoqiu is amazing!

Everyone looked at Shi Qiu Shui with their big eyes full of admiration.

Xiaoqiu is so amazing. She was praised by the police. Isn’t this even more amazing than the fat grandma?

Fatty shouted out in admiration: "Xiao Qiu, you are so amazing, even more amazing than my grandma! Otherwise, you can be my grandma!"

The adults in the classroom couldn't help laughing when they heard this, but the children didn't think there was anything wrong with what Xiaopang said. They all felt that Xiaopang had opened up new ideas, and they all looked at Shi Qiu Shui with anticipation.

"Xiao Qiu, don't be Xiao Pang's grandmother, be mine!"

"No, Xiaoqiu and I have a better relationship. Xiaoqiu, you have to be my grandmother!"

"Then Xiaoqiu will be your grandmother today and mine tomorrow!"

"What about me? Xiaoqiu, when will you become my grandmother?"

Shi Qiushui: ...

No, she is only six years old, how can she be a grandmother to so many people?

Shi Qiu Shui covered his face, not wanting to accept these foreign grandchildren.

Fortunately, Teacher Kobayashi also noticed that the children's reaction was inappropriate and interrupted their conversation: "Ahem, children, please be quiet and shut your mouths."

Teacher Kobayashi is worthy of being an excellent kindergarten teacher who has been re-elected for three consecutive years. As soon as she said this, the children who had been chattering non-stop just now immediately quieted down, and Shi Qiu Shui no longer had to suffer a social breakdown.

Xiao Lin waved his hand and said, "Come here, Xiao Qiu. The police officer wants to give you a certificate."

Shi Qiu Shui hurried to the front of the podium and took the certificate from Fang Xiaoke's hand. She took the certificate, turned around and wanted to go back to her seat, but was stopped by Teacher Kobayashi.

Teacher Xiaolin: "Hey, Xiaoqiu, don't leave yet. There's a reporter here taking pictures of you."

Eh? Taking pictures?

Shi Qiu Shui was stunned when he saw an aunt holding a small square box coming in from the back door of the classroom. No, it would be more appropriate to call her a sister rather than an aunt, because she looked only in her twenties.

The reporter snapped a photo and said "OK" loudly. Only then did Teacher Kobayashi let Shi Qiushui return to his seat.

Shi Qiu Shui was confused. She had watched TV and knew that the small square box was a camera. She also knew what reporters did, but she didn't know why the reporters wanted to take pictures of her.

Do we need to report this incident about her?

Shi Qiu Shui secretly exclaimed "Wow" in her heart. If she was really reported, she would be so honored!

“Hehehehehehe——”

Shi Qiu Shui couldn't help but feel ecstatic at the thought that she might be reported. She rubbed her face and kneaded the flesh on her cheeks that were about to freeze from laughing.

At this time, the children around came over curiously.

"Xiaoqiu, Xiaoqiu, what does your certificate look like? Can I see it?"

"Hey, Xiaoqiu, what is a scammer?"

"Oh, you idiot, a scammer is a liar, a bad person!"

"Hey, but how did Xiaoqiu know who the scammer was, and how did she get the information from the police?"

"That's right, Xiaoqiu, how did you know that? Can you tell us?"

Shi Qiushui: ...

She glanced at Xiaopang with an embarrassed look, and seeing the same curiosity on Xiaopang's face, she really couldn't tell him that she got the information about the scam from Xiaopang.

Fortunately, the bell rang at this time. Shi Qiushui puffed up his cheeks and said quickly, "Class has started. Go back to your seats quickly, or you'll get scolded by Teacher Xiaolin!"

The children in Class 2 all viewed Shi Qiu Shui as a police officer, so as soon as Shi Qiu Shui opened his mouth, they immediately returned to their seats and sat down obediently.

"call--"

Shi Qiu Shui breathed a sigh of relief.

“Ha~”

A light laugh was heard, Shi Qiu Shui raised his head guiltily, and found that the person laughing was Zhao Ran, his deskmate.

She pouted and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Zhao Ran pursed his lips lightly: "Nothing."

After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and went back to reading, as if nothing had happened.

Shi Qiu Shui raised his eyebrows and put his hands on his hips.

snort!

Did he think she didn't know that Zhao Ran was laughing at her?
