Under the mother's "order", the child took Xiao Xiao to his room.
There is only a few steps from the living room to the child's room, but the child's deliberately slow pace actually took a lot of time.
Xiao Xiao didn't rush him either.
Just follow quietly.
He could feel the eyes of several people behind him... Mr. Gu and the child's parents...
He helped the hesitant child open the door.
The door suddenly opened in front of him, almost making the child jump in fright.
He turned his head suddenly.
Xiao Xiao lowered his head and looked at the child with a smile.
The child's eyes were darting around, and his expression looked a little panicked.
...
"Don't you want to go in?"
Xiao Xiao asked warmly.
As if being reminded, the child immediately walked into the room.
But they are somewhat in the same boat.
Xiao Xiao, who followed the child into the room, couldn't help but curl his lips.
...
The child looked around.
Then...he showed a relaxed look?
Xiao Xiao's face showed a bit of thoughtfulness.
In this room...his eyes turned...is there anything there?
As far as the eye can see... is a common simple style boys' bedroom.
It's just that the toys everywhere highlight the fact that the owner of the house is still a child.
...
Mr. Gu and the child's parents were still in the living room.
After all, teachers have to teach children, so what are they, "uninvolved persons" doing?
Doesn't it affect the teacher's class?
Although the child's parents were obviously a little restless.
There was a bit of anxiety between his eyebrows.
Looking at Mr. Gu who was there, the child's mother couldn't help but say, "Uncle...is there really no problem?"
Gu Lao put down his tea cup and asked, "What's the problem?"
"Don't worry."
Gu Lao shook his head.
I said one thing after another, for the sake of the child, to let the child face the unpleasant memories early, etc. What are you doing now?
"The person I introduced will not be wrong."
...
"Teacher, sit down."
After closing the door, the child who turned around and approached pulled a chair to the desk.
"Thanks."
Xiao Xiao found that the child's expression became a little more natural and his movements were no longer so stiff.
Is it because...you didn't find something in the house just now?
...
Xiao Xiao turned around again and looked around.
"......teacher?"
The child's hesitant voice sounded.
Xiao Xiao tilted his head and lowered his eyes, looking at the child who looked at him with wide eyes and some uneasiness.
"What are you looking at?"
The child pursed his lips.
...
"I'm not looking..."
Xiao Xiao's incomprehensible words made the child who didn't know what he meant couldn't help but reach out and hit his head.
What's the meaning?
Not looking?
Obviously... I'm just watching.
...
"exactly......"
Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "I'm looking for it."
try to find?
The child's doubts were quickly answered.
"I'm looking for what you were looking for before."
The child's already wide eyes became even wider.
There was even a somewhat panicked look on his face.
"..."
The child opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
After several attempts, the child finally made a strange sound, "What are you talking about, teacher?"
"I...I'm not looking for anything."
"Teacher, you are so strange..."
...
"Yeah?"
Xiao Xiao did not argue with the child, nor did he point out that there was something obviously wrong with the child.
He followed the child's words and said, "Maybe I saw it wrong."
"Um."
The child nodded hurriedly, "Teacher, you are wrong."
"I'm not looking for anything."
The child emphasized again.
Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "Sit down."
"Today is the first lesson I teach you."
...
Two hours is not a short time, but it is definitely not a long time.
But the parents of the children waiting outside felt like their days were almost like a year.
I don’t know how many times I looked up and down.
Gu Lao, who was influenced by them, rolled his eyes countless times.
The performance of these two guys made him a little anxious.
"alright."
Mr. Gu was helpless, "How old are you!"
"Not stable at all."
"What if I have to take two hours of class?"
"Again-"
Seeing the child's parents suddenly stand up, Mr. Gu turned his head to look.
really.
The old man's eyes narrowed into slits.
Xiaoxiao and Linlin came out.
...
"Linlin."
The woman walked to the child's side in a few steps.
She took the child's hand and looked him up and down.
Especially, I carefully observed the child’s expression.
After a while, the woman showed a gentle smile.
"Thank you for studying hard."
"Are you hungry?"
"Mom, give you a bowl of mung bean soup?"
The child nodded.
What the new teacher said before really scared him.
But later he saw that the new teacher was only telling him the contents of the exercise book and did not talk about the topic again, and he felt relieved.
Slowly, he listened to the explanation carefully.
The unsolved questions that were left out in the exercises were solved one by one under the new teacher's explanation.
This sense of satisfaction made the child couldn't help but show an expression of joy.
The resistance to the new teacher that was revealed in his brows and eyes before has dissipated.
...
"You serve the teacher a bowl first."
The man took the woman's hand and reminded her in a low voice.
The woman was stunned.
Then a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.
She patted her forehead and said, "Look at me."
"Teacher Xiao, you are really negligent."
"I just forgot to let you drink a bowl of mung bean soup before class."
It was obvious that she had planned this before.
At the same time, you can also talk more about your children with the teacher.
Unexpectedly, when she talked about the bad things her children had encountered some time ago, all she could think about was the trouble.
I don't think of mung bean soup at all.
As a result, the students were asked to teach their children directly as soon as they arrived at home.
Not that this is bad.
After all, the purpose of hiring a tutor is to teach their children to learn.
It's just that this new teacher is someone the uncle knows.
It's my uncle's... friend... who I've known for years and years.
With such status...their reception was a bit rude.
"Linlin, take Teacher Xiao to the living room to sit for a while."
"Just wait for me."
"I'll serve you mung bean soup."
Xiao Xiao closed his slightly open mouth as the woman left in a hurry.
...
"Ha ha."
Gu Lao shook his head.
He put his hands behind his back and called Xiao Xiao, "Come on, Xiao Xiao, let's go sit in the living room for a while."
"Let's go back after eating a bowl of mung bean soup."
"Linlin's mother's craftsmanship is very good."
"Um."
The child nodded seriously and echoed the old man's words, "The mung bean soup made by mom is delicious."
"Teacher, you will like it."
"I am looking forward."
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows are slightly curved.
The old man looked at the child and then at Xiaoxiao, "Hey, you two seem to get along well?"
"Linlin, how is this new teacher?"
The child nodded.
"The teacher explains very well."
He was able to do many questions that he couldn't do under the teacher's explanation.
