Bai An waved his hand casually and said, "Although, well, that's about the meaning."
Lin Zhixia's simple and easy-to-understand explanation made Da Zhuang's mind clear.
It turned out that Bai An was not on Goudan's side, but on himself.
Thinking of this, Da Zhuang smiled foolishly and said innocently, "What are you afraid of? What's the big deal? He didn't get punished by the teacher for hitting you yesterday, so if I hit him today, what can the teacher punish me for?"
"That's not necessarily true." Lin Zhixia glanced at the silly Da Zhuang sitting on the ground, "The teacher won't punish you, but there are others who will punish you."
"Who?" Da Zhuang raised his hand, patted the thin arm, and said, "Who else?"
Bai An pinched his waist and tapped his head, "Push Goudan to the ground and beat him. What if his mother finds out? What if she tells your mother?"
Da Zhuang didn't care, "Who told him to bully you?"
Bai An looked at Da Zhuang and didn't know what to say. After all, he beat Goudan for her sake.
Bai An had no choice but to say again: "If your mother wants to beat you, you can put the blame on me, and don't go looking for Goudan again. He should know he is wrong."
...
...
After hearing Bai An's words, Goudan lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
Bai An nodded at him again and asked, "Do you understand?"
Goudan then nodded reluctantly and said, "I understand."
Bai An asked Goudan to return to his post, while she continued to follow Lin Zhixia to haul soil.
Lin Zhixia thought about what she had just said, looked at Bai An thoughtfully, and asked, "Are you so nice to every friend?"
Bai An looked at him in confusion, "Are you talking about Da Zhuang? Let me tell you, if Da Zhuang's mom knew about this, she would beat him, but my parents wouldn't beat me, so let him take the blame on me."
Bai An looked at him with a serious expression and said, "You can't tell this to anyone else."
"Of course not." Lin Zhixia smoothed the hair on her forehead, revealing her fair and pretty face, and said jokingly, "Don't you see who your brother Lin is?"
Bai An looked at him speechlessly while he was showing off. He pointed at the tall pile of dirt and said, "You should first try to do your job well."
Lin Zhixia smiled confidently and strode towards the tall mound of earth.
Bai An still sat under the shade of the tree holding his coat and waiting for him.
Time passed quickly. Bai An looked at Lin Zhixia's face covered with sweat, thought for a moment, and handed the handkerchief in his arms to him.
Lin Zhixia looked stunned when he saw the handkerchief. He didn't expect that there would be someone in the countryside who would carry a handkerchief with them.
Bai An saw that he was only looking at the handkerchief in her hand and didn't reach out to take it. She thought he wanted the handkerchief, so she stuffed the handkerchief into his arms.
"I'm giving it to you."
Lin Zhixia took the handkerchief that was stuffed into her arms in a daze, and said in surprise: "Give it to me."
He touched the material in his hand and it was very nice, but it was something he didn't deserve.
Bai An waved his hand and said, "You are sweating all over. I will wipe it off with this handkerchief."
Lin Zhixia finally understood that Bai An was disgusted by the smell of his sweat. But it didn't matter, because the things given to him were his.
Seeing that Lin Zhixia didn't wipe her sweat with a handkerchief, Bai An stuffed the handkerchief into his arms and asked curiously, "Why don't you wipe it?"
“I don’t want to use this.”
Bai An felt puzzled, so he stretched out his hand and said, "If you don't like it, just give it back to me."
Lin Zhixia pretended not to see it, took her coat from Bai An's arms, and walked forward on her own.
It was just an ordinary handkerchief, so he didn't have to return it. Bai An didn't care much about it, after all, she had plenty of them at home.
When they reached the school gate, Lin Zhixia leaned against the wall and said to Bai An, "I'll take you home."
"No need." Bai An stretched his head to look behind Lin Zhixia, "My brother will come to pick me up."
Hearing Bai An talking about her brother, Lin Zhixia was a little curious, "All the children in the village have to come to school, why doesn't your brother come? What does he do at home?"
When thinking about what to do, Bai An thought about when she was at home, Lu Jinan would sit on a stool and read the books she took out from the space. Seeing that he liked reading so much, Bai An took out a lot of books from the space.
Bai An couldn't understand those books, and he didn't know why Lu Jinan was reading them with such relish.
Bai An was about to say something when he turned around and saw Lin Zhixia staring at him with his eyes.
Well, she suddenly didn't want to say anything.
Seeing Bai An not speaking, Lin Zhixia asked in confusion, "You looked like you wanted to say something just now, why aren't you speaking now?"
Bai An looked at him quietly, pretending to zip up his mouth.
Lin Zhixia was left in tears and amused by Bai An's action. Just as he was about to say something to tease her, Bai An pushed him away forcefully.
Lin Zhixia didn't expect that Bai An, this little girl, had such great strength in her hands that she could push him backwards with just one push. Just when Lin Zhixia finally managed to steady himself, he looked up and saw Bai An looking behind him with a somewhat frightened expression.
Following Bai An's gaze, Lin Zhixia saw Da Zhuang's mother holding a stick in her hand and walking towards Da Zhuang in a menacing manner.
"Da Zhuang's mother!" Bai An shouted in the direction of Da Zhuang. Da Zhuang's mother heard Bai An's voice and was about to respond, but when she saw Da Zhuang running away, she reached out and grabbed him, and carried Da Zhuang towards home.
As she walked, she greeted Bai An with a smile, "Bai An, Auntie has something to do so I'm taking Da Zhuang home first."
Bai An was a little stunned and nodded, but then he thought something was wrong. Da Zhuang would be beaten if he got home like this.
Bai An looked around and saw Goudan huddled behind his mother. When Goudan met Bai An's eyes, he seemed a little uneasy and hid back again.
Well, when Bai An saw Goudan’s expression, he knew what was going on.
Bai An turned around and said to Lin Zhixia, "You should be alright, right? When my brother comes, tell him that I'm going to Dazhuang's house."
Lin Zhixia frowned, and seeing Bai An running forward anxiously, she asked in confusion: "Are you so anxious about Da Zhuang being beaten?"
Bai An waved at him to express his response, leaving Lin Zhixia with only her back.
Lin Zhixia shrugged. He still had to go home to work.
He pulled a passing child and said, "When Bai An's brother comes over, tell him that Bai An went to Da Zhuang's house."
Looking at the dumbfounded child in front of her, Lin Zhixia asked uncertainly, "Do you know who Bai An's brother is?"
The child nodded.
