Gu An'an was amused by the description, but thinking of the chubby boy who was dragged in by the teacher at the end, she felt there was nothing wrong with it.
"Yes, we have twins. They've been together since they were little, so they might not be as dependent on us as their parents."
The woman thought what she said made a lot of sense. "Then it seems I can't blame him. If I have to blame someone, it's because I didn't give him a brother or sister to go to school with."
After saying that, he realized something was wrong and quickly shook his head, saying, "No, if I have another child who is just like him, I'll lose all my hair."
Imagining her two big, chubby sons tugging at her legs and crying, she didn't even have the courage to have a second child, let alone two at once, which would mean double the suffering.
"Never mind, I guess your child is just well-behaved. It would be different if it were mine."
As they walked back together, they discovered that their homes were quite close to each other.
On a day without children to accompany her, Gu An'an devoted the morning to translation work. Through Li Hai's introduction, Gu An'an met the director of Beijing Publishing House, who helped her translate a lot of things. The director was the happiest when he learned that she had been admitted to Huazhong University of Science and Technology. The closer the distance, the easier the communication.
Sure enough, Gu An'an got in touch with them just two days after arriving in Beijing, and they assigned her a task.
"An'an, you can't work all the time. You need to balance work and rest. Here, have some fruit. This was just brought over by your grandfather's old comrade-in-arms. It's a fruit from the south. I heard it's called pineapple. It has a lot of thorns, but it tastes pretty good. Try it and see if you like it. If you do, I'll have someone bring some more over."
Grandma Xiao was extremely satisfied with Gu An'an. Unlike other families who worry that their children wouldn't be ambitious, she was worried that Gu An'an would harm her health by working too hard.
Gu An'an quite liked sweet and sour flavors, and after thanking them sweetly, she began to enjoy her meal.
In the afternoon, I went to school for a class meeting, picked up my books, and then rushed back to pick up the two children with Xiao's mother.
As soon as I arrived at the school gate, before the children had even come out, the mother of the chubby boy from this morning greeted me, "Comrade Gu, you're here! The children are still in line; they should be out soon."
Then she cheerfully greeted Xiao's mother, "After a day of school, I wonder if my son cried all day. I find her annoying when he's at home, but I'm worried about him when he's at school. I'm such a worrier."
Gu An'an could understand her feelings and comforted her with a smile, "No, there are many people your age at school. Maybe you don't want to go home after playing all day."
These words were meant to comfort the other person, but they turned out to be prophetic.
Two minutes later, the children lined up in the yard and walked out. Gu An'an spotted her two children at a glance, and they waved to her from afar. It was clear that the two had a very happy first day of kindergarten.
What caught her attention even more was that when the two were waving, a chubby boy behind them was clinging to Xiao Erbao and talking to him. He seemed a little anxious because Xiao Erbao was only waving and ignoring him.
And who else could that chubby boy be but the child who was dragged into kindergarten this morning?
Oh dear! My child went to play with your twins.
The child's mother, with her sharp eyes, noticed that her son was talking incessantly without showing any signs of grievance or other negative emotions, and finally felt relieved.
"Hmm, I didn't expect the two boys to play together on the first day. They're quite destined for each other."
As they spoke, the children lined up and walked out of the school gate, rushing towards their parents like birds returning to their nests. Except for the little fat boy, who acted as if he couldn't see his mother even though she was right in front of him, his eyes only on Xiao Erbao.
"Erbao, did you hear what I just told you? From today onwards, we're best friends, right?"
Xiao Erbao never expected that someone would be even more clingy than him. He was still talking to his mother, and this little fat boy really had no sense of propriety.
But with his mother around, he didn't want to appear rude, so even though he was genuinely annoyed by this insensitive girl, he could only say perfunctorily, "Okay, okay, we're friends now. School's over, you should go home now."
I thought that would be enough to get rid of him, but the chubby guy wasn't satisfied. "Not just friends, we should be best friends. How about we become sworn brothers?"
Xiao Erbao: "...Mom, let's hurry up and go."
As soon as Xiao Erbao whispered those words in Gu An'an's ear, he grabbed her hand and ran off, saying, "Grandma, sister, hurry up!"
Looking at her son pulling her along, and then at the suddenly deflated chubby boy behind her, Gu An'an couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Is our second child so popular?"
Xiao Erbao glanced behind him and saw Xiao Pang staring at him accusingly. He quickened his pace and said, "Mom, don't even mention it. If I had known he was this clingy, I definitely wouldn't have stood up for him."
Little Fatty, who was a step behind, was also talking about the same thing as his mother.
"Meatball, what's going on here? Why is that kid running away when he sees you? Are you bullying him?"
Judging from their physical appearance alone, the woman felt there was a high possibility that her son was bullying someone.
"Mom! Do you think I'm that kind of person? I didn't bully Erbao at all. On the contrary, Erbao helped me, so I want to be Erbao's best friend."
The reason is actually very simple: the little fat boy was dragged into school in the morning. Although there were other children crying, he was the only one in such a pig-slaughtering state.
Two mischievous children, seeing that he was both a crybaby and fat, started making fun of him. Of course, the chubby boy didn't like it, so he wiped away his tears and started fighting with them.
Although he was fat, it was all just bloated fat; he was no match for the two young boys and was pushed down as soon as he rushed forward.
If Xiao Erbao hadn't stopped him, he might have really gotten beaten up.
"Mom, you don't know, Erbao is like a hero in TV shows, he just fell from the sky. Otherwise, I would have been beaten up. He is so good to me, I must be his best friend, and I will rush to help him when he needs help."
Upon hearing that her son had been bullied at kindergarten, Rouyuan's mother was both angry and grateful. No one knew her son better than she did; he was such a simpleton.
Did you tell the teacher about them bullying you?
Meatballs were eaten in one meal. Did he tell the teacher? He forgot!
"No, Erbao has already avenged me. He threatened them that if they dare to bully me again, I will beat them up. And then, I forgot that I could tell the teacher about it."
Meatball Mom: ...She knew it!
"Tell me, what can you remember?"
Rouyuan covered her head and said, "Mom, let's not talk about this now. Help me think of a way to still be Erbao's best friend."
