Zhang Tan quietly looked at the little girl named Yueyue. She was about three or four years old. She was thin and small, with two little pigtails. She was very cute.
The little girl was holding a rag doll in her arms. It was a female rag doll wearing a hat with bunny ears.
Teacher Xiaoliu was comforting Yueyue softly, and the little girl sobbed in her arms from time to time, looking pitiful.
Zhang Tan said to go downstairs and take a look. If Yueyue's mother came, he would call them down.
He went downstairs. The lights in the classroom on the first floor had been turned off and it was dark. There were still lights in the corridor outside, there were lights in the yard, and there were lights coming out of the guard box at the gate. That was Lao Li who was still at his post.
.
Zhang Tan was not sleepy and was pacing in the yard. Apart from him, there was no one else around.
The evening breeze was blowing the leaves in the grove, bringing a cool feeling. It was already late autumn, and winter was about to begin.
Suddenly something fell from the top of his head. Zhang Tan scratched his hair with his hands and grabbed a yellowing sycamore leaf.
The window of the guard box suddenly opened. Old Li stretched out his head, picked up the flashlight and looked over here. When he saw it was Zhang Tan, he said, "What are you wandering around for? Why haven't you slept yet?"
Zhang Tan walked over and Lao Li opened the door and let him in.
"There is still a little girl in the dormitory. I came to see if her mother is coming soon."
Lao Li flipped through the notebook that recorded access control and said, "Is it little Yueyue? There is no record of her mother coming tonight."
"That's her."
"She, that's not surprising. She is often late and comes in very late at night."
"The employees at the convenience store, the 24-hour kind, are on West Chang'an Street, not far away. I've seen them once."
At this time, footsteps sounded outside the door. Before Zhang Tan and Lao Li could open the window to take a look, a woman had already appeared at the window and knocked on the window with a smile.
Lao Li opened the window and said, "I got off work so late again today."
"Well, I'm so sorry for delaying you from getting off work again." The woman was small, about one and a half meters tall, and her face was also small. Such people usually look small, but there were traces of hard work on her face.
Makes her look older than she actually is.
She simply tied her hair into a ponytail and wore sleeves on both hands.
She saw Zhang Tan in the guard box, but she didn't recognize him and just smiled in a friendly manner.
It's just that her complexion is very poor, pale and bloodless, and her smile is very forced, making people worry that she will collapse at any time.
"You look so bad, are you feeling unwell?" Lao Li asked.
The woman tried her best to smile and said it was okay.
Lao Li said that his health was urgent, and he opened the door and let her in.
The two of them were not familiar with each other, so he could just say something about his concern. He couldn't do anything whether they would listen to him or not.
When the woman entered the little red horse, Zhang Tan also came out of the guard box. He shouted to the second floor. After a while, Teacher Xiaoliu came downstairs with little Yueyue in his arms.
"Mom~~" Little Yueyue shouted happily when she saw her mother, and immediately got off Teacher Xiaoliu's arms and threw herself at her mother.
The woman squatted down and wanted to hug her, but she didn't know whether it was because the little girl had too much momentum or because she didn't stand firm, so she squatted on the ground with her buttocks.
Teacher Xiaoliu hurriedly helped her stand up, but saw that the woman's face was pale, her body was swaying, her brows were furrowed, and she looked in pain.
"What's wrong? Are you sick?" Teacher Xiaoliu asked nervously.
The woman said weakly that it didn't matter. She got up and wanted to leave, but she couldn't walk after two steps and had to stop and take a deep breath.
When little Yueyue saw this, she cried in fear.
Teacher Xiao Liu, Zhang Tan, and Lao Li all gathered around her, asked her about her physical condition, and helped her into the classroom.
Zhang Tan said she wanted a doctor to come over and take a look at her, but the woman quickly said no, she really didn't.
She was resolute, so Zhang Tan had no choice but to give up.
In order to dispel the worries of others, the woman whispered a few words to Teacher Xiaoliu, and Teacher Xiaoliu asked Zhang Tan and Lao Li to leave first while she stayed here to take care of them.
Zhang Tan and Lao Li didn't know why, so they went out first and chatted in the yard. After a while, Teacher Xiao Liu came out and told them that little Yueyue's mother was indeed not sick, but had her period, and her stomach hurt very much.
I worked all day today and stood almost all day. My energy was exhausted and my body was very weak. Even now, the pain is unbearable.
Zhang Tan suggested, "How about we let her stay here tonight? She probably won't be able to stay home like that. We can let her and little Yueyue live in the dormitory on the second floor."
Teacher Xiaoliu said: "There are all small beds in the dormitory."
"It should be enough for her." Zhang Tan thought that little Yueyue's mother was petite and sleeping in a small bed should be enough. However, "or living in the staff dormitory on the second floor would be better."
Teacher Xiaoliu said that they should live in the staff dormitory. She was originally going to stay tonight and take care of little Yueyue's mother.
When Teacher Xiaoliu returned to the classroom, Zhang Tan stopped her and asked, "Are there any sanitary products? How about I go buy some."
Teacher Xiaoliu was a little embarrassed, but she still tried her best to speak generously.
Zhang Tan asked Lao Li to go back to rest after get off work. He and Teacher Xiao Liu returned to the classroom together and helped little Yueyue's mother to the dormitory on the second floor.
Although little Yueyue is young, she is very sensible. She knew her mother was not feeling well and stopped crying long ago. She also supported her mother in a decent manner and did her best.
Zhang Tan brought some fruits from home and saw that he could not help much, so he went back.
Early the next morning, he got up and went for a morning run. When he went downstairs, he saw Teacher Xiaoliu who had already gotten up. He asked Xiao Yueyue and her mother and learned that they had already left.
It's seven o'clock in the morning. Little Yueyue's mother went to bed so late, but got up so early today.
"She asked me to thank you, but I didn't have time to thank you in person." Teacher Xiao Liu said, and at the same time told Zhang Tan that after a night's rest, her body was much better and her mental state was much better.
After finishing speaking, Teacher Xiaoliu carried her bag and prepared to go home and come back to work in the evening.
At this time, Xiaobai also got up and said he would go for a run with the old man.
"Wang Xiaoyu?" Xiaobai asked, remembering Wang Xiaoyu who was still sleeping in, and immediately ran to wake him up in a hurry.
"Don't..." Before Zhang Tan could finish his words, Xiaobai had already run away and got into the bedroom. Seeing Wang Xiaoyu still sleeping soundly, he shouted to him: "Wang! Xiao! Yu!——
Why don’t you get up quickly!!!”
"Ah~~~~~"
Wang Xiaoyu was startled and sat up suddenly, looking at her with a horrified expression. It took him a long time to regain his composure.
"Ah - Xiaobai!!!"
"Hoo ho ho~~ Get up and run, Wang Xiaoyu!"
"I want to sleep."
"Running can keep you alive."
"I want to sleep."
"Stay alive~"
"Go away, I get annoyed when I see you."
"What did you say???"
Wang Xiaoyu's words made Xiaobai unhappy. When this child becomes unhappy, he will turn into a black man.
She circled around the bed and started to fight for the quilt with Wang Xiaoyu. Wang Xiaoyu was so annoyed that he rolled on the bed and was so angry that he wanted to break up with Xiaobai!
A few minutes later, Wang Xiaoyu finally couldn't bear Xiaobai's annoyance any longer, so he got up on his own initiative and followed the running father and daughter in circles slowly like a zombie.
He doesn't want to come to Little Red Horse anymore. He just wants to go home quickly and his mother will pick him up quickly!
