Chapter 29 Haohao is gone
Everyone thinks that children are the easiest to fool, but they don’t know that their hearts are the brightest.
Wu Lili's face turned red, and she was too embarrassed to continue being stubborn.
He stomped his feet on the spot and ran out without looking back.
Wu Xiuxiu, who was waiting at the door, was stunned and hurriedly followed behind.
The principal brought Xu Zhixia and Aunt Cai to his office again, and this time his attitude was much better.
"Comrade Xu, you've seen our situation. If it's convenient, could you come over this afternoon?"
"You can rest assured that I will give you money and tickets according to Teacher Qi's salary."
Under his expectant gaze, Xu Zhixia smiled faintly.
"Of course I can, but Principal, can I bring Haohao with me?"
"He is very obedient. I don't feel comfortable leaving him alone at home."
The principal readily agreed to take along just one child. Although Haohao was young, as long as he was obedient and didn't make any noise, it would be fine.
The matter was settled. After saying hello to Aunt Cai, Xu Zhixia took Haohao home first.
The news that Xu Zhixia was a primary school teacher on Shanghai Island spread across the island at lightning speed.
Wu Xiuxiu was still waiting for others to object so that she could bring Xu Zhixia down.
But to her disappointment, everyone else acquiesced to it.
Not to mention Wu Xiuxiu, even Xu Zhixia didn't expect it.
Teaching students is very easy. She only needs to prepare the lessons the day before and teach according to the progress the next day.
But the students' learning progress gave her a headache.
"Daniel, what do you think twelve plus seven equals?"
Xu Zhixia looked around and casually ordered a big shot.
Da Niu stood up, his face flushed, and he couldn't answer for a long time.
Xu Zhixia sighed helplessly and let him sit down.
It’s such a simple question, but they can’t even answer it in the first grade.
Yes, the teachers in the past did not pay much attention to their studies and mainly let them do what they wanted, which is understandable.
But Xu Zhixia is not that kind of teacher. She is thinking about whether there is any way to motivate everyone.
After school, she took Haohao, who was sitting quietly on the side, away.
On the way home, I was still thinking about this question.
"Sister-in-law." A familiar voice sounded, bringing Xu Zhixia back to her senses.
She raised her eyes and met Jiang Hanzhi's smiling gaze.
She was stunned for a moment, but before she could react, Haohao had already trotted over and hugged Jiang Hanzhi's thighs.
Xu Zhixia said politely, "Comrade Jiang."
Because Zhou An did not come back, she did not invite Jiang Hanzhi in.
Obviously Jiang Hanzhi had thought of this as well, and the two of them stood at the door and talked.
He looked much thinner than before he left, but his whole spirit and energy had changed dramatically.
Without waiting for Xu Zhixia to ask, he explained to himself: "Sister-in-law, this time I went back to solve the problem at home."
"The person who wanted to take Haohao away... was bribed by my second uncle."
"He felt that as long as Haohao was gone, the old man would focus on raising his descendants on him."
After a pause, he continued, "Now it has been dealt with. This time I am here to take Haohao home."
As he said this, the atmosphere in the air became cold.
Xu Zhixia's body stiffened, and her eyes drooped, hiding the expression in her eyes.
When he looked up again, he forced a smile: "I know."
She half squatted down and looked into Haohao's eyes: "Haohao, can you go back with your uncle first?"
Haohao's eyes turned red, and he bit his lower lip tightly to control himself from making any sound.
But the little child already felt that this time was different from the last time.
Jiang Hanzhi then advised: "Haohao, grandpa misses you. Can I take you to see grandpa?"
"I'll bring you back later..."
In the adult world, looking back represents a lot of uncertainty, but Haohao doesn't know.
He glanced at Xu Zhixia, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded slightly.
Jiang Hanzhi breathed a sigh of relief visibly. If Haohao insisted on refusing, he really didn't know what to do.
He thoughtfully let Haohao stay at his home for the last night and agreed to pick him up the next day.
When Zhou An returned home, he was faced with a whole table of delicious food.
He hesitated, thought for a moment and took the initiative to say, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been angry with you during this period."
Xu Zhixia, who had just brought the last dish out of the kitchen, was stunned. Angry? When did this happen?
A trace of confusion flashed in Zhou An's eyes: "Then what are you doing..."
Xu Zhixia put other thoughts aside and explained, "Jiang Hanzhi came here today and said he would take Haohao away tomorrow."
Zhou An remained silent and rubbed Haohao's head.
Since arriving on the island, he has become accustomed to Haohao's presence.
When I heard that he was leaving, it was a little hard to accept for a while.
But he covered it up well and didn't show it.
Even so, the meal was eaten in silence, and all three of them were absent-minded.
When Xu Zhixia was packing up the things to take away for Haohao, she found that the house was full of traces of Haohao during this period of time.
It felt like a huge rock was blocking her chest, making it difficult for her to breathe.
That night, she chose to sleep with Haohao in her arms.
Whispering softly, she told him story after story in his ear.
But no matter how much she wished time would go slower, dawn still arrived.
Jiang Hanzhi arrived as promised and took Haohao away.
Xu Zhixia was not used to the days without Haohao, and she could only make up for her free time with busy work.
In addition to preparing lessons and teaching, she also wrote many manuscripts.
Seeing that the money had accumulated to a certain level, she decided to go to the city.
On her day off, she took the island's boat to the dock again.
Zhao Yue was not there this time, which made Xu Zhixia a little disappointed.
After she sent out the manuscripts she had written one by one, she thought about it and went to the supply and marketing cooperative.
She bought a bag of candy and walked towards the address Zhao Yue left for her.
She came to a courtyard house and knocked on the door, which was opened almost the next second.
"Who are you looking for?" a middle-aged woman in her fifties asked suspiciously.
Xu Zhixia raised the corner of her mouth, revealing a faint smile: "Hello, sister, does Comrade Zhao Yue live here?"
Aunt Zhao suddenly smiled, as if a flower had bloomed.
At her age, this was the first time she was called "Auntie" by a young girl.
"That's my daughter. What do you want from her?"
Her tone softened a bit, and she looked at Xu Zhixia with kind eyes.
Xu Zhixia didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, and said slowly: "I'm Zhao Yue's friend, I want to go out with her."
Aunt Zhao agreed without hesitation: "Okay, it just so happens that she has nothing to do at home."
"Comrade, come in first, sit down and have a drink of water."
