By the time the school teachers braved the wind and snow to arrive at the school, Xie Zhuo had already gone home.
Apart from Zhao Wenhu, no one knew what he said to the eight- or nine-year-old Zhao Wenhu in a dilapidated empty classroom when he was happy.
At first, Da Bao and Xiao Bao did not believe what their third uncle said, that Zhao Wenhu would never do anything to Lin Dong again. During breaks, they were both very wary and stayed close to Lin Dong.
Zhao Wenhu didn't glance at Lin Dong again from beginning to end. When someone urged him to bully Lin Dong, he impatiently kicked that person in the shin.
"Get lost, aren't you annoying!"
The other children, who had always followed his lead, were taken aback and eventually dispersed dejectedly.
Although they were usually naughty, they were still afraid of the teacher. They only dared to bully others when Zhao Wenhu led the way. Now that Zhao Wenhu had stopped, they went off to play other games.
"I told you my third uncle was amazing," Da Bao stared at Zhao Wenhu for a long time, making sure he really wouldn't bully Lin Dong anymore, and said in a low, childish voice.
Lin Dong was also a little surprised.
The most unexpected thing was that Xie Zhan and Xie Jingyi actually brought their third uncle to the school. Not only did their third uncle not look down on him for being the son of a former landlord, but he also helped him and even bought some candied hawthorns before leaving, giving him one as well.
Lin Dong knew that he did this because of Xie Zhan and Xie Jingyi, but he still couldn't help feeling a little teary-eyed.
This is the only adult besides his grandparents who buys him food.
On the other side, Xu Yan took a bite of the candied hawthorn Xie Zhuo brought back, glared at him, and asked, "Did you set the dog on that student?"
“How could that be?” Xie Zhuo was changing clothes, his sweater already ruined by the mud on Kaixin’s body. Hearing this, he replied, “I was just trying to scare him. Kids are so annoying.”
"Besides, with its mouse-sized body, who could it possibly bite? I'm even afraid that the child might go crazy and bite it, so I've been protecting it the whole time."
Xu Yan: "..."
Xu Yan withdrew his gaze from Xie Zhuo and glanced at Kaixin, who was playing with a small ball on the ground. This dog…
I don't know what breed it is, it's not growing at all.
It's never lacked food or water, and it looks like a large ball could crush it.
After Xie Zhuo changed his clothes, he noticed that Xu Yan was staring at Kaixin, so he leaned over, hooked her chin, and kissed her on the corner of her lips.
"Look at me more."
When Da Bao and Xiao Bao returned home, they brought Lin Dong back with them. Lin Dong had initially refused to come, but they had nowhere else to go.
His grandparents were already in poor health, and because of their family background, they were bullied by all sorts of people under various pretexts. Although they were only in their sixties, they already looked incredibly old.
He couldn't hold on any longer and passed away a month ago.
For the next month, his second uncle stopped him from going to school and even took him to the school to get his tuition back. He stubbornly refused to leave the house and was even whipped several times with a wooden stick by his second uncle.
Later, a relative persuaded him to finish the semester to fulfill his grandparents' last wish, and only then did my second uncle give up.
But from that day on, his family never gave him a kind look again.
This morning when he was leaving the house, his second aunt wouldn't let him go and asked him to take care of her one-year-old cousin. He refused and was kicked in the back by his second aunt.
She also told him to never set foot in the house again.
Lin Dong had been thinking that he should just give up and not go to school anymore, or he could go to the school today to ask for the remaining tuition fees and then go home, and then his second aunt would probably be less angry.
but……
He had no idea what happened that morning.
Later, when Teacher Feng stood on the podium rubbing his hands together and started lecturing, he still couldn't bring himself to say it.
I heard that when Xie Zhan and Xie Jingyi first came to the school, they became the most popular people there because their third aunt was as beautiful as a fairy. Not only was she very kind to them, but when she came to pick them up from school, she also gave all the children in the class White Rabbit milk candy.
Lin Dong arrived late and hadn't tasted the legendary fairy aunt's candy, but he had tasted the candy given to him by Xie Zhan and Xie Jingyi.
It's very sweet.
It also has a milky aroma.
It was the most delicious thing he had ever eaten in his life.
He didn't dare to hope that he could become friends with the two of them, because everyone in the class really wanted to be friends with them.
He only hoped they wouldn't bully him.
But to his surprise, the two most popular people in the whole school later helped him many times, gave him a lot of food, and even chose to be his friend.
Lin Dong had never been to anyone else's house, and he rarely even visited his relatives' houses.
When Xie Zhan pointed to a house and said, "That's my house," he even considered turning around and leaving.
“My third uncle and aunt are really nice,” Da Bao said. “You can stay at my house tonight without worry. My third uncle will tell you stories tonight, stories that are not in books.”
"or……"
The more Lin Dong listened to him, the more he regretted it.
He glanced at Xie Zhan and Xie Jingyi's clean and stylish clothes, then looked at his own dirty clothes and pants, and subconsciously took a few steps back.
"How about next time? I'll come again next time."
"Huh?" Da Bao was taken aback. "Why?"
"Yeah, why?" Xiao Bao was a little surprised by his sudden change of heart. "My third uncle is a very good person, you met him today. My third aunt is even better, don't worry."
“Yes, my third aunt is really nice,” Da Bao chimed in.
Last year, the two kids would cry because they thought their third uncle thought they were dirty and that he would dislike them. But after more than a year of getting along, they no longer have such concerns.
