Without preparation, he is less likely to be tricked.
What's more, with Grandpa Gu's advance warning.
If he was teased by another child's prank, he would be a little embarrassed.
...
"So Xiaoxiao, when are you free these days?"
Gu Lao mentally planned the time to take Xiaoxiao to see the child.
"I'm free anytime these days."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"Um?"
Mr. Gu was stunned, "That's it..."
Gu Lao laughed and said, "That's good."
"tomorrow."
"How about tomorrow?"
Mr. Gu is very straightforward.
Although there was a moment when he thought that it would be better to choose a different day than to hit it, today was the day.
But thinking about it carefully, he still gave up this plan with some regret.
The child's parents still need to be notified.
It was a bit hasty to go there directly.
Besides, today is not a day off. Even if he takes Xiaoxiao with him, he won't be able to see the child's parents.
The children can actually see it.
...
Fortunately, tomorrow is a day off.
He doesn't have to wait too long for the right day.
However, the next second after the time was set, the old man felt a little hesitant again.
He was not in favor of hiring a tutor for his children so soon.
tomorrow......
Is it too fast?
Or is it better to wait a few days later?
But he said it all...
Mr. Gu's brows knitted together.
...
However, the old man did not hesitate for too long.
If it takes too long, the child's parents will have objections.
He believes in Xiaoxiao.
...
"good."
Xiao Xiao nodded.
...
"Then it's settled."
A relaxed smile appeared on Mr. Gu's face.
"I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."
"Let's go see the kid together."
...
"good."
Xiao Xiao had no objection.
...
The next day, Xiao's Teahouse welcomed its first customer within a few minutes of opening its doors.
Seeing Mr. Gu, Mrs. Xiao was slightly surprised, and then smiled slightly, "Mr. Gu, is it so early today?"
"yes."
The old man squinted his eyes and nodded.
The corners of his mouth widened.
Apparently he was in a good mood and said, "I'm here to see Xiaoxiao."
"I made an appointment with him yesterday."
"Take him to meet the kid who wants to trouble him as a tutor today."
Gu Lao told Xiao's mother the general story of the matter in a few words.
Mother Xiao smiled and nodded.
"Oh, I want Xiaoxiao to be the child's tutor."
It’s not like Mr. Gu has never chatted with Xiaoxiao before.
They are also used to it.
Moreover, they never ask much about what the children and the elderly talked about.
So, she doesn't know about it yet.
...
"yes."
Gu Lao touched his belly and smiled like a Maitreya Buddha.
"That child just met a bad tutor."
"I was quite frightened."
"I'm asking Xiaoxiao to come to the rescue."
...
"You're welcome."
The corners of Xiao's mother's mouth were slightly raised.
"You have watched Xiaoxiao grow up."
"Let Xiaoxiao help you do something as it should be."
"If you need anything, just ask Xiaoxiao."
"You are welcome."
...
"What should and shouldn't be done?"
Mr. Gu shook his head, "Besides, I'm not polite either."
"...I can trust Xiaoxiao."
"If I don't look for him, I don't know who to look for."
There are no other suitable candidates around him.
"However, I won't let him suffer for the favor he helped me."
"I told Xiaoxiao that Grandpa Gu has no intention of letting him be a tutor in vain."
"The tutoring fee will not be less."
"Since Xiaoxiao has no other arrangements, let's just think of it as a way to make extra money."
"It's pretty good, isn't it?"
...
When Xiao's mother heard this, she opened her mouth. She originally wanted to say something about the remuneration the old man mentioned, such as a discount even if she had to give it...
After all, Mr. Gu is a frequent visitor to the teahouse and an old acquaintance of theirs.
But the old man has told Xiaoxiao this...
Since he still told her this now, it meant that the matter had been settled and she would say nothing more.
Xiao's mother turned to smile and said, "Mr. Gu, please sit down for a while. I'll call Xiaoxiao over."
"Um."
Gu Lao sat down directly on a nearby chair.
As you get older, don't force yourself to stand when you can sit.
The bones of the body will protest.
"Xiaoxiao Mom, I'm sorry to bother you."
...
Mother Xiao waved her hand, "Mr. Gu, why are you so polite?"
"Please wait a moment."
Xiao's mother turned around and walked towards the back room.
...
When she walked to the living room, Xiao's mother saw Xiao Xiao walking towards her.
Mother Xiao laughed in surprise.
What a coincidence.
"Xiaoxiao (Mom), Grandpa Gu is looking for you. (Is Grandpa Gu here?)"
Xiao's mother and Xiao Xiao spoke almost at the same time.
The two people's voices overlapped.
Mother Xiao couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
"yes."
"Your Grandpa Gu is here."
"I said I made an appointment with you yesterday."
"Um."
Xiao Xiao nodded, "It's an appointment."
"Say today..."
"Going to see the kid you want to tutor?"
Xiao's mother answered.
Xiao Xiao was stunned for a moment, then nodded, with a smile on his face, "Grandpa Gu told you?"
"yes."
Xiao's mother and Xiao Xiao walked side by side to the teahouse in front, "If your Grandpa Gu hadn't told me today, I wouldn't have known about it."
"Why didn't you tell us?"
Although it's not a big deal.
But tutoring other people’s children is no small matter.
"Feel sorry."
The smile on Xiao Xiao's face faded slightly, and there was a hint of apology between his eyebrows.
"I was negligent."
"no need to say sorry."
Xiao's mother shook her head helplessly, "You are just like your dad sometimes."
"You're too serious."
"This is nothing to apologize for."
"Just remember to mention it to us next time."
"good."
Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded.
...
When he looked up and saw the old man waving to him, the smile on his face became more obvious.
"Grandpa Gu."
"Xiaoxiao."
The old man stood up.
"let's go?"
"good."
Xiao Xiao turned around and said goodbye to Xiao's mother.
"Mom, I'm out."
"OK."
Mother Xiao smiled and sent the two of them to the door of the teahouse, "Be careful on the road."
"Keep an eye on you, Grandpa Gu."
"Um."
Xiao Xiao nodded, "I know."
"What are you looking at?"
Mr. Gu on the side curled his lips in dissatisfaction, "What do I need to see?"
"I'm in good health."
"Well, Grandpa Gu is in good health."
Looking at Xiao Xiao with a look of approval, Mr. Gu showed a look of satisfaction on his face.
"That is."
There was a bit of complacency in his tone.
I completely didn't notice that my previous question was actually ignored.
...
Xiao Xiao took a taxi.
Mr. Gu's home is quite close to Xiao's Tea House.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t come to the teahouse every now and then to “take a dip”.
But the child's home is quite far away from here.
The old man who only realized this now frowned.
This daily transportation fee is also a big expense...
