"Uncle, what should we do with these things?"
An'an squatted on the ground, looking at the large stack of white papers with a worried expression; she couldn't even lift it up.
Liu Jiandong was also a bit of a headache. He never expected that Tiedan's precious schoolbag would contain so much blank paper.
After Tiedan threw his backpack into the bushes, they sneaked over and took it. When they opened it a short distance away, they found something was wrong.
Liu Jiandong gets a headache whenever he sees books, and the same goes for these blank sheets of paper; he wants to put them back.
At that time, Tie Dan finally managed to shake off a few enthusiastic peers who insisted on inviting him to go hunting in the deep mountains.
"You guys go in, I won't hold you back."
After those people left, he immediately ran back to where he had just thrown his schoolbag to look for it.
Liu Jiandong, realizing he had done something wrong and not wanting to be caught by Tiedan, was about to retrieve his schoolbag and put the things back when Tiedan found it before they could.
So Liu Jiandong and An'an watched helplessly as Tiedan suddenly ran away in a panic.
?
Shouldn't he keep looking?
If he had searched a little longer, Liu Jiandong would have been able to find a way to put the item where he was going to pass by.
"What should we do, Uncle?"
Liu Jiandong was also very troubled. Although the stack of white paper was worth some money, it was useless to them and was very heavy, almost too heavy to carry.
"He will probably come back looking for it."
Both of them knew they had done something wrong today, so they simply sat there and waited for Tiedan to come back.
"He probably thought that a hermit in the mountains stole his things, which is why he was so scared. He will definitely come back to look for them once he figures it out."
Such thick and heavy white paper must cost a lot of money. If it were Liu Jiandong, he would rather spend the money on something else than buy so much.
Since Tiedan bought it, he must be heartbroken to lose it now.
The two sat there waiting for a while, but Tie Dan didn't show up. An An was getting impatient.
"Why don't we take it back to him?" An'an knew where Tiedan lived.
"Then you'll take it back?"
"I can't carry him."
That stack of white paper was thick and heavy; An'an definitely couldn't carry it. Liu Jiandong knew she wanted to order him around, and he gave a cold snort without any politeness.
"If you can't carry it, neither can I. Let's wait a little longer."
Unlike Tie Dan, he wasn't willing to carry such a heavy thing around in the mountains.

Zhou Lian was pacing anxiously at home. Tie Dan knew he had made a mistake and kept crying. Soon, even the youngest child started crying.
"Alright, alright, stop crying."
She took a deep breath, telling herself not to panic, that there was still a way before things reached a dead end.
Tie Dan stopped crying and hugged his youngest brother to comfort him.
"What should we do, Mom?" Tie Dan was smart and didn't ask his mother what those things were.
Zhou Lian still couldn't understand why Wei Lan had taken the exam paper, even though she had given her the key and found her a shortcut.
But as long as Wei Lan doesn't admit it, and no one saw them meet, who would believe her?
Only then did she realize how dangerous her impulsive actions the day before had been. The textile factory had security personnel on night shifts, and the residential area had guards.
Although they managed to bypass the textile factory's security personnel last night, anyone who noticed something was wrong could ask the sentry at the entrance to the residential area.
That would tell you she went out last night.
As Zhou Lian thought about it, cold sweat poured down her back. What should she do?
"mom?"
"Never mind, let's find the things first."
