Fang Guihua was busy in the kitchen early in the morning, and Li Weimin was lighting a fire at the stove. After dinner, Tian Xiaolan followed Li Weiguo to school. Along the way, the villagers greeted Li Weiguo.
After a while, they arrived at the school gate and met a few children. They looked at Tian Xiaolan curiously and asked, "Teacher Li, why did you bring this fool to school?"
Li Weiguo listened and retorted: "She's not stupid. Don't say such things. If I hear it again, I'll tell your parents and ask them to teach you a lesson."
Tian Xiaolan didn't take these words to heart and walked in. She didn't need to bother with the little brat.
I went to Li Weiguo's office first. There was already a woman in the office. She was a little surprised to see her come in.
"Aren't you Teacher Li's daughter? Why are you here?"
"Yes, my uncle asked me to come."
The female teacher covered her mouth and exclaimed: "The rumor is true? You are really not stupid!"
"What's the problem?"
Just as the female teacher was sighing, Li Weiguo came in.
"Teacher Li, why did you bring your child here?"
"Bringing her here to study won't affect you, right?"
"It's okay." The female teacher shook her head and went out with the books she was going to take to class.
The bell rang, Li Weiguo took her to the classroom, arranged for her to sit in the back row, and started the class.
Li Weiguo was teaching Chinese in this class. Tian Xiaolan was sitting in the back and was drowsy from listening to the class. The get out of class was finally over. Li Weimin saw her head dozing off little by little and left in anger.
Tian Xiaolan was woken up by a few children. She rubbed her eyes and looked at the people who disturbed her sleep. She said unhappily, "What are you doing?"
A short-haired girl blinked her big watery eyes and looked at her, "Sister, can you play hide-and-seek with us?"
Tian Xiaolan immediately agreed: "Okay, let's go somewhere to play."
"It's on the playground."
The little boy standing behind the little girl opened and closed his mouth, and the words he was about to say to encourage her to play were stuck in his throat.
Tian Xiaolan followed them out. The playground was just an open space in front of the school gate. There was a pole standing on the yellow ground with a flag hanging on it.
After agreeing on the rules, they all looked at Tian Xiaolan and said, "If you come to find us, you must count to one hundred before you can come to us."
Tian Xiaolan blocked her eyes with her arms and listened to the sound of footsteps. She continued counting. When she reached one hundred, Tian Xiaolan began to look everywhere. She looked everywhere in the school but couldn't find anyone.
Ding ding ding!
The bell rang for class. Tian Xiaolan didn't find anyone, so she simply went back to the classroom. It was still Li Weiguo's class. She sat at the back desk and found that there were still a few empty seats in the class. Li Weiguo obviously noticed it too.
With his brows furrowed, he asked the squad leader in the front row, "Where did they go?"
"I don't know. They left after class."
Li Weiguo knew that they were naughty and mischievous, but now they had even started skipping classes. He had to teach them a lesson. "Dabao, go look for them everywhere and bring them back when you find them."
He looked at Tian Xiaolan with relief, at least her attitude was still decent.
"Yes, teacher."
Dabao searched all over the school and stood at the school gate wondering where the people had gone. He heard voices coming from the haystack. He peeled open the haystack and found that they were hiding inside, numbering 7.
Dabao pulled the three of them out of the haystack and kicked the boy who was still laughing on the butt.
"It's time for class. The teacher has been looking for you. I was calling your name just now. Didn't you hear it?"
"I really didn't hear it, did you hear it?"
The others shook their heads and brushed off the dust on their clothes.
Dabao grabbed his collar and took them back to the classroom without listening to his explanation.
Li Weiguo saw them come back and continued teaching. When the get out of class was over, Li Weiguo looked at their relaxed expressions and said casually, "You guys, come to my office."
They followed him there, and when they came back from the office, they looked hopeless. They saw Tian Xiaolan still sitting there quietly. She was only three years older than him, so why was she so cunning?
Tian Xiaolan found it a little funny. It wasn't her who asked them to hide there. "How old are you this year?"
The little boy turned his head and glared at Tian Xiaolan angrily, "Why should I tell you this? Remember this."
The short-haired sister said, "He is fifteen this year."
Tian Xiaolan looked him up and down, and after a while she said, "Okay."
The little boy seemed to sense contempt in her eyes. She was only four years older than him. Although he was only thirteen years old this year, he believed that he would be taller than her in no time.
Tian Xiaolan said something to Li Weiguo and went back. Uncle Weiguo told her with a cold face that she didn't need to bring him lunch at noon, as he would go back to eat.
Seeing the man walking fast and slow, it must be Xing Yifei.
The woman holding the child and the man joked, "Look at what's wrong with him? He walks so crookedly, it's so funny."
The man took one look and figured out the reason without hesitation, "It must be retribution, it's what he deserves!"
The sound was so loud that it was difficult for Xing Yifei to pretend not to hear it.
Suddenly, his sharp eyes swept across the couple, revealing a fierce light, which made the two people being stared at tremble in their hearts and hurriedly ran back home to close the door and bolt it.
Tian Xiaolan found it funny to see him being humiliated. Xing Yifei happened to be coming towards her, so Tian Xiaolan stepped forward and stretched out her arms to block his way.
"I'm going into town tomorrow morning. Do you want to come?"
Xing Yifei crossed his arms over his chest and stared at her intently for a moment. After a while, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Oh, what am I going to do?"
Seeing that Xing Yifei did not refuse, he threw out another sentence.
"It's no big deal. Do you want to laugh at my joke?"
Xing Yifei lifted Tian Xiaolan's chin with two fingers, pushed her away, and left around the mud pit.
"Not interested."
Now that the topic has been brought up, whether to go or not is not her concern.
Seeing him leave, Tian Xiaolan didn't stay long.
When they got home, Aunt Guihua was in the kitchen, making a fire and cooking. She didn't notice that the small bamboo stick was being swallowed by the flames little by little and was about to fall out of the stove. Tian Xiaolan dodged and kicked it into the hole.
Aunt Guihua noticed her movements and sighed, "Luckily you're here. If it got burned it would be a disaster."
"Nothing unexpected will happen while I'm here."
When the meal was ready, the bowls and chopsticks were taken out first. At this time, Li Weiguo also returned home.
Li Weiguo looked at Tian Xiaolan, feeling very disappointed and said, "Is my class bad or what? How can you sleep?"
"Uncle, it's not your problem. I didn't sleep well the day before. I will listen carefully next time!" Tian Xiaolan said as she raised her hand to swear.
Li Weiguo's expression relaxed a little. "Alright, if you keep doing this, don't come with me. Go work with your brother."
Tian Xiaolan smiled and took Li Weiguo's bowl to scoop rice for him: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
