Pei Hanchuan leaned against the counter and said sourly, "Ever since your son picked up Tianci last time, Tianci has always been calling him his older brother at home. He still wants to play with your son again. Little brats just like to be with little brats."
He didn't even finish the second half of his sentence. Tianci was almost disliking him as his uncle.
Pei Hanchuan felt sad, but he hoped that Pei Tianci could be happy. Lu Yuanbao was the first friend Pei Tianci made, so he should be happy.
Chu Yue thought for a moment and said, "It's almost the weekend, I'll bring Yuan Bao with me."
In the 1970s, there was no double day off, only one day off, and the weekend was Sunday.
"Okay, it's settled. I'll bring Tianci here that day and let the two little boys play together." Pei Hanchuan couldn't wait to go back and tell Pei Tianci the good news. Pei Tianci would definitely be very happy when he knew it.
When Chu Yue heard him say "two little boys", she silently wiped the non-existent sweat from her forehead.
What a dull man he is. He lives with his family all day long, but he doesn't even know that Pei Tianci is a girl.
At the same time.
“A-choo—”
Lu Yuanbao in the classroom suddenly sneezed. When his nose felt itchy, he immediately covered his mouth with his hand and turned his head away. He wanted to stay away from his deskmate Tan Rourou.
Chu Yue taught him that he should cover his mouth when he sneezes, and never sneeze at others, as that was very impolite and unhygienic.
From the first day, Lu Yuanbao knew that Tan Rourou loved cleanliness, to an excessive degree, because he had seen Tan Rourou wiping the table with a handkerchief more than once, whispering "It's so dirty, so dirty, so dirty" as she wiped.
He asked Chu Yue why this happened, and Chu Yue said that this symptom was called "cleansing".
Sometimes mysophobia is not only a physical preference for cleanliness, but also a psychological obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Chu Yue also said that people under the sign of Virgo, for example, tend to have more severe mysophobia.
Lu Yuanbao didn’t understand what obsessive-compulsive disorder was, nor did he know what Virgo was, but from Chu Yue’s tone, he felt that it was a disease.
Since Tan Rourou is sick, he should take better care of her.
So Lu Yuanbao turned his head and sneezed very seriously.
When Tan Rourou saw Lu Yuanbao suddenly move away, she frowned hard. He must not like her!
Chen Dazhuang leaned over and asked, "Yuanbao, what's wrong with you? Why are you sneezing? Did I infect you with my cold?"
"No, you drank so much hot water, your cold would have healed long ago and it won't be transmitted to me," said Lu Yuanbao.
Chen Dazhuang touched his forehead, it was neither hot nor feverish, he nodded and smiled innocently, "I also feel that my cold has healed, I feel much better, and my stomach doesn't hurt anymore. When I had diarrhea this morning, I felt so uncomfortable, the hot water Aunt Chu gave me really worked, I felt better in no time."
"You have to do your homework now. You can't use the excuse of feeling unwell to be lazy."
"……All right."
Chen Dazhuang suddenly felt physically better but not so happy.
At this time, the school bell had already rung, and the students packed their bags and prepared to go home. Lu Yuanbao's bag was bulging with something in it.
He stood up and looked at Tan Rourou, his face serious, "Tan Rourou."
Tan Rourou was startled when Lu Yuanbao called her name seriously. She didn't know why she felt guilty and asked nervously, "Why... are you calling me?"
"This is for you." Lu Yuanbao took out the sachet made by Chu Yue from his schoolbag. "My mom said thank you to your dad for sending canned yellow peaches and gifts yesterday. This is a return gift from my family. You can take it back to your dad."
"Just for this matter." Tan Rourou whispered and stretched out her hand, "Give it to me."
A silk sachet with a tassel hanging from it was placed in Tan Rourou's small palm.
She picked it up and smelled it. It had a faint scent of Chinese medicinal herbs. All medicines are bitter, and she didn't like it, so she wrinkled her nose.
This kind of reaction would subconsciously make people think that she was disgusted with the sachet that Chu Yue gave her as a return gift.
Tan Rourou first put the sachet into her schoolbag, and then slowly sorted out her books and pencils, putting them in one by one.
Today, she did not steal glances at Lu Yuanbao from time to time like she did yesterday, as if she had given up the idea of going home with Lu Yuanbao.
But after she spent several minutes tidying up everything, she looked up and saw Lu Yuanbao and Chen Dazhuang had already put on their backpacks and water bottles and were standing by the desk without leaving.
Tan Rourou looked at the two of them, and suddenly, her heart began to pound violently.
Although she was very excited, the first thing she asked was, "Why don't you leave?"
"Waiting for you." Chen Dazhuang said loudly, "Yuanbao told me that we will wait for you after school. We will go home together in the future."
Tan Rourou looked at Lu Yuanbao with bright eyes, as if asking, is it true?
Lu Yuanbao remained calm as usual and said, "If you don't want to go with Principal Feng, then come with us."
"I didn't say that. You took the initiative to agree to it. You can't go back on your word!"
Tan Rourou pointed at Chen Dazhuang and Lu Yuanbao and asked proudly. She was relieved when she saw Lu Yuanbao and Chen Dazhuang nodded.
Then she quickly started packing her schoolbag and put it on her back.
She stood up, patted her schoolbag, patted her skirt, pulled her sleeves, and after tidying herself up, she said, "Let's go."
Tan Rourou took the lead and walked in front, followed by Lu Yuanbao and Chen Dazhuang.
As soon as she walked out of the classroom, she met Principal Feng again. This time, Tan Rourou was not afraid at all. She raised her chin and looked at Principal Feng and said, "I will go home with Lu Yuanbao and Chen Dazhuang."
Principal Feng frowned, then quickly relaxed his brows, smiled and nodded, "It's good for you to be together. You can take care of each other on the way. Go back quickly and remember to do your homework well when you get home."
"Okay, Principal Feng."
"Principal Feng, see you tomorrow."
Lu Yuanbao and Chen Dazhuang waved to Principal Feng and caught up with Tan Rourou. The three of them walked out of the school and returned to the compound in the setting sun.
That evening.
After Tan Siqi returned home, Tan Rourou took out the sachet that Lu Yuanbao had given her.
When she took it out, the sachet was actually wrapped in a handkerchief. Tan Rourou placed it very carefully for fear of damaging it.
She also told Tan Siqi everything Lu Yuanbao said.
Tan Siqi hesitated and asked, "Rou Rou, did Lu Yuanbao really say that?"
Tan Rourou nodded vigorously. "That's what he said. He said it was a return gift to thank you for the canned yellow peaches you gave me, Dad. I remembered it all, word for word."
"Well, Rourou is really amazing." Tan Siqi gently touched the top of Tan Rourou's head, with all his attention still on the sachet.
He moved closer and sniffed.
Tan Rourou frowned and said, "Dad, it stinks. It doesn't smell good."
"Rou Rou, you can't say that. The sachet contains medicinal herbs. Medicinal herbs can be used to cure diseases and save lives. They are very useful things. When you grow up, you will understand that good medicine tastes bitter and is not smelly at all—"
Halfway through his speech, Tan Siqi suddenly stopped and looked stunned.
Medicinal herbs... The sachet contains medicinal herbs...
He understood Chu Yue's intention.
