In the dead of night, Xi'er also left and was picked up by her sister.
The children in Little Red Horse Academy were walking around, some were scattered, and some were sleeping in the dormitory.
The lively courtyard fell into silence, leaving only the chirping of cicadas, small insects, and the sound of wind.
On the balcony of Zhang's house on the third floor, the bright lights went out quietly. Zhang Tan closed the balcony door, walked through the living room, returned to the bedroom, and prepared to go to bed.
As soon as he lay down on the bed, there was a knock on the door.
"Old man, can I come in?"
It was Xiaobai talking outside the door.
"Come in." Zhang Tan said.
The door was pushed open, and Xiaobai walked in wearing pajamas. He laughed when he saw him.
"Old man, I'm afraid of ghosts today, can I sleep with you?" Xiaobai came to the bedside to discuss.
Oops, the sun is out in the west, and he actually asked to sleep with me!
There is such a good thing.
"Okay, come." Zhang Tan readily agreed.
Xiaobai was more cheerful than him. Before he agreed, Xiaobai had already climbed onto the bed, lay horizontally on the bed, and rolled around a few times comfortably.
Zhang Tan let her go and checked the messages on his phone.
Xiao Bai rolled and tossed on the big bed, just like a pig digging in the vegetable patch.
After a while, she stopped and came to Zhang Tan's side, smiling with a silly smile on her face.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Tan put away his phone and put it on the bedside table.
He guessed that Classmate Xiaobai might have something on his mind and wanted to talk to him.
"Hoohoho~~~" Xiaobai kept giggling.
"I'll tell you a secret, please don't tell it, okay?" Zhang Tan said.
When Xiaobai heard this, her eyes lit up. She liked hearing secrets the most, especially those from her old man.
She nodded repeatedly, like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Old man, if I tell anyone, I won't be a human being." Xiaobai swore.
Zhang Tan expressed satisfaction with her statement, and then said mischievously: "Didn't we go to Grandma's house today? When we passed Grandpa Liu's house, I picked one of his small gourds."
"Huh?" Xiaobai was surprised and asked, "Didn't Grandpa Liu kill you?"
Zhang Tan: "..."
The words came so fast that I couldn’t continue to say them.
Xiaobai: "Hahaha, I was teasing you, old man, what did you do to the little gourd?"
Zhang Tan: "What else can I do to the little gourd?"
"have eaten?"
"No, it hatched."
"It hatched, huh? It hatched like a chick?"
"Yes."
"What hatched? Malan flowers?"
"No, it's Calabash Baby."
"Huh?!!! Calabash baby? Is it like a Xiba doll?"
"No, it's Calabash Baby. Didn't I tell you the story of Calabash Baby? Seven melons on a vine."
"There is also a Malan flower, hahahahaha~ Where is the gourd baby?"
"It's buried in the sand pit in the yard. Next spring a team of gourd babies will grow."
"Hahaha, old man, you are deceiving a three-year-old child. You can't deceive me."
After all, Xiaobai is over seven years old. If you want to fool her with this story, you really can't do it.
It would be almost the same if it were Xi'er.
It feels like no matter how old Xi'er is, she will believe this innocent story.
Zhang Tan smiled and said, "But I really picked a small gourd."
"Hohoho, you big bad guy, Grandpa Liu will be angry."
"So don't tell anyone, this is our secret."
"Okay~ I won't tell anyone."
"I told you a secret, so you can tell me a secret too."
"Emm~~~Old man, let me tell you, will you keep it a secret?"
"If I say it, I won't be a human being."
"Hoohoho~~~"
Xiaobai still smiled and said nothing, with a shy look on his face.
This kid actually became shy.
Zhang Tan said: "You didn't do your summer homework?"
Xiaobai was stunned for a moment and nodded.
Zhang Tan said: "This is not a secret, we all know it."
Xiaobai immediately said angrily: "Xiwawa said it all! I saw her talking to the parrot on the tree today, and I was so angry that I was furious!"
Zhang Tan was dumbfounded, the baby was so cute.
He really wanted to tell Xiaobai that maybe the parrot would be shouting everywhere tomorrow, and even take the initiative to say hello to you and ask you if you did your summer vacation homework.
"You have to think about it this way, Xi'er loves you so much and cares about you so much that she always thinks about your summer homework."
"...Alas~"
Xiaobai sighed and looked tired.
This love weighs heavily on her. As a child, she cannot bear it.
The father and daughter discussed the love of Xiwa and finally got to the point.
Xiaobai was still a little worried and asked: "Old man, if I tell you, will you dislike me?"
Zhang Tan assured: "If I don't like you because of this, then am I still a human being?"
Xiaobai laughed, finally relieved.
She looked at Zhang Tan sheepishly again, and plucked up the courage to say, "Old man, I actually beat Xiao Du."
"..."
Seeing Zhang Tan's shocked look, Xiao Bai quickly asked: "Ah, do you not like me?"
Zhang Tan quickly responded: "No, I like it, I like it, I'm just wondering why you want to hit Xiao Du?"
Children are very sensitive at this time.
Now that I have already confessed, Xiaobai might as well be honest.
"Take a melon and pee on my pepper seedlings. I'm so angry that I'm furious!"
"this……"
Many questions came to mind, and Zhang Tan asked: "Then since it was you who hit him, how could Xiao Du not see clearly?"
Xiaobai said: "Xiao Du saw it clearly, he must have seen it clearly, and we even talked."
Zhang Tan: "That night, why didn't Xiao Du say that you beat him?"
"I know it."
Zhang Tan asked again: "Then you really caught someone's little Jiji?"
Oh my God, my daughter can’t be so tough, right?!!!
I knew she was tough, but I didn’t know she was so tough!
Xiaobai quickly shook his head: "I didn't! I didn't, I'm a girl."
Zhang Tan breathed a sigh of relief, but something was wrong.
"Then why did Xiao Du say someone grabbed him?"
One of Xiaobai and Xiaodu must be lying.
Xiaobai said: "Xiao Du is a liar. If he didn't say this, everyone would think it was a pomegranate that hit him."
Zhang Tan asked again: "Why was Liliu suspected of having sex?"
Xiaobai shook his head, thought for a while and said, "Maybe it was her bad luck."
Zhang Tan couldn't help but smile bitterly. At first, he was a little doubtful whether it was Xiaobai who was pulling him to support him.
Maybe it was really unlucky and happened to hit the muzzle of the gun.
Zhang Tan asked again worriedly: "Did you really not grab Xiao Du?"
Xiaobai:←_←!
"Are you such an old man?"
"Hahaha, I just asked you casually to tease you."
"Hmph~"
"Why do you want to confess?"
"Cheng Cheng understands."
"Is that why you confessed?"
"I did something bad and couldn't sleep. Old man, I shouldn't have hit Xiao Du. Although he peed on my pepper seedlings, I shouldn't have hit him either. I should have educated him and reasoned with him.
Right?"
"You're absolutely right."
"Old man, should I apologize to Xiao Du?"
"Ask yourself if you want to."
"I kind of want to."
"Then just follow your heart."
"But if I apologize, other children will know it."
"Isn't it a good thing that you can correct your mistakes after you know them? Everyone will only think that Xiaobai is a good boy. You can also set a good example for everyone."
"Oh, then I will apologize to Xiao Du tomorrow."
"Okay, I will go with you then."
"Hehe, old man, do you think I am a bad boy and don't love me anymore?"
Oops, Xiaobai always starts to act like a baby.
"No, I want you to know how much I love you. I love you more now than I did a minute ago, an hour ago, a day ago, a week ago, a month ago. When you behave well, stay with me.
It's very easy to be by your side. And when you don't perform well and encounter difficulties, I love you even more. At this time, we need to stand together and face it together."
Xiaobai's eyes are sparkling, there is light in them, and there is energy on his face.
…
It was quiet at night, Xiaobai snuggled next to him and fell asleep soundly.
Zhang Tan recalled the whole incident, and felt more and more that there was one person who was very special, Xiao Du who was being beaten!
