Children are not sensible, but many times they are very sensible and more transparent than adults.
They know who is good to them better than anyone else.
After three months of getting along, Xiaobai has unknowingly regarded Zhang Tan as the person he trusts the most.
After all, in her short life of more than four years, few people were so kind to her.
When she bit him, not only was he not angry, he also tried to coax her.
She called him a bastard, but not only did he not get angry, he always asked her to come home for dinner.
…
She doesn't understand those little things, but she understands them.
After all, on this night, when she was greatly wronged, Xiaobai was thinking of him, it was him who ran out to find her at all costs, and it was him who she wanted to say with all her grievances.
At this moment, she was lying in his arms, crying extremely sadly.
Zhang Tan has never seen Xiaobai cry so sadly.
After losing the fight with Luo Zikang, Xiaobai was beaten and shed tears silently. That was the only time Zhang Tan had ever seen her shed tears.
But at that time, even though she lost the fight, she never lost the battle, and she was always unforgiving. She said harsh words and vowed to get back her position, so that no one could see how sad she was.
But this time it was different, she was really sad and sad.
Tonight, she put down all the outer shells, revealing her weak body underneath. She couldn't stop her tears, and they fell down in big drops, soaking the T-shirt on Zhang Tan's chest.
Zhang Tan hugged her, and her little body was smaller than expected.
He patted her back gently, touched her little head, and comforted her softly.
He didn't know what happened, but Xiaobai needed him now, that was for sure.
The lights in the corridor came on, and the director, Aunt Huang, came.
Behind her, there were Ma Lanhua and Bai Jianping who looked ashamed.
"Xiao Bai~~The director's aunt is here to see you." Aunt Huang said softly, gently stroking Xiao Bai's little head.
Xiaobai put his little head in Zhang Tan's arms and hugged him tightly with both hands, especially hard.
She had no reaction to Aunt Huang's words, and she had no intention of letting go. She was like a drowning person holding on to the only floating object.
No matter in his past or present life, Zhang Tan had never felt that anyone would need him so much. This made him feel so wonderful that it was hard to describe.
This feeling of being needed made him even more determined to protect this little person.
He welcomed them into his home and asked them to sit in the living room. He carried Xiaobai into the bedroom, closed the door, and soothed her softly.
In the living room.
Aunt Huang withdrew her gaze and looked at Ma Lanhua and Bai Jianping who were at a loss. She originally had a lot to say in her heart, but when her eyes fell on their weather-beaten faces, she was so confused that her thousands of words turned into a sigh.
Malanhua and Bai Jianping are both in their forties. Due to long-term fatigue, they are all swarthy and their hair looks like it has been gnawed by dogs.
She and Malanhua are about the same age, but judging from their appearance, some people believe that Malanhua is 5 years older than her.
"What's going on? Tell me in detail." Aunt Huang said in a harsh voice.
Bai Jianping lowered his head and remained silent.
After a moment of silence, Malanhua whispered, "I, we want to expel Xiaobai from school..."
…
In the room, Xiaobai was tired from crying, so he ran all the way, hid in Zhang Tan's arms, gradually relaxed, and soon fell asleep.
But in my sleep, it was still not a good dream. I would choke from time to time, and my whole little body would tremble.
She was so thin and light, Zhang Tan felt heartbroken when he saw her.
The breakfast and lunch meals are irregular and careless. Children are lacking in the nutrients they need to supplement. How can they be healthy?
Zhang Tan gently put her on the bed, but her clothes were tightly grasped by her little hands and she wanted to let go. She immediately became uneasy, her eyelids trembled, and she was about to wake up at any time.
Zhang Tan lay down with her, took the towel and blanket at hand, and wiped Xiaobai's feet clean.
Her feet were dirty and stained with mud.
She had run barefoot all the way, and the soles of her feet were broken. There was a small grain of sand embedded in the flesh, and blood was oozing from it.
It must hurt a lot.
Zhang Tan gently wiped her clean, wiped the wound again with povidone iodine, applied the medicine to make sure she was well, and then slept with her little friend, gently patting her little body.
Her little fists were clenched tightly and never let go.
Zhang Tan put his little fist in the palm of his hand and wrapped it warmly. After a while, the little fist slowly opened on its own, revealing a Buzz Lightyear doll.
This space trooper who upholds justice was sent by him.
Tonight, she came here to seek justice from him, the Space Ranger.
As the time approached midnight, Zhang Tan gently let go of Xiao Bai and came out of the bedroom.
The lights were on in the living room. Aunt Huang was still there, as were Bai Jianping and Ma Lanhua.
They chatted without saying a word, and as soon as the door opened, they immediately looked over.
Zhang Tan closed the door and said, "I fell asleep."
Malanhua said embarrassedly: "Excuse me, Boss Zhang, Xiaobai came running over before we could stop her..."
Zhang Tan interrupted: "No trouble, Xiaobai can come to me if anything happens in the future. Also, what happened today? Can you tell me about it?"
Malanhua opened her mouth to speak, but Aunt Huang said, "Let me speak."
She recounted what happened.
Zhang Tan knew that Xiaobai was going to drop out of school. He thought that Xiaobai would cry, but he didn't expect that she would be so stubborn.
What a strong kid.
He asked Ma Lanhua: "Does Xiaobai have to drop out of school? Can she not drop out? She is still so young, you can't let her sell pancakes and fruits at such a young age? Do you plan to let her do this for the rest of her life?"
He tried his best to suppress his temper, otherwise he wouldn't be able to speak well.
He wanted to scold the couple so much. What kind of things had to be done to force the strong and optimistic Xiaobai to be like this.
Malanhua defended: "I don't want her to sell pancakes and fruits with me, I just want her to be with me and have someone to take care of me. I used to go to school because Lao Bai and I were working at the construction site and didn't have time. It's different now."
, since I was fired... After I left the construction site, I could take Xiaobai with me and sell pancakes without delay. In the past two days, I took her to the train station and the subway entrance. She liked it very much and was very happy, so I
I think, let her follow me."
She thought that showing Xiaobai the outside world would make her forget about Little Red Pony Academy. Little did she know that in the eyes of the children, she had regarded Little Red Pony Academy as her roots and her home. Although the outside world was good,
The most cordial and safe place is still here.
Malanhua doesn't understand this. She is hard-working and kind-hearted, but she has her own limitations.
Zhang Tan said: "Then you plan to let her follow you like this all the time?"
After thinking about it, he added: "She can't even read now. Who among her peers hasn't started to read? You can't delay her growth. If you delay this kind of thing, you won't be able to make up for it in the future."
Malanhua: "No, we won't let her become illiterate. Lao Bai and I have suffered from illiteracy and can only work as coolies in Pujiang. We want to work in Pujiang for another year and then return to our hometown in Sichuan.
It’s time to send Xiaobai to kindergarten, just wait another year.”
Zhang Tan said: "Are you going to let her go around selling pancakes and fruits this year? Or continue to lock her at home and not let her go out for a whole day without anyone talking? You know, she is starting to be sensible at this age.
stage, beginning to shape the body and mind..."
Aunt Huang took up the topic and said something about early childhood education: "Children need to go to school, and they need to have playmates of their own age, not just adults..."
These words made Ma Lanhua and Bai Jianping feel ashamed. Bai Jianping, who had been silent all this time, said in a low voice: "It's because we don't have the ability. I'm sorry, baby."
Malanhua wiped her eyes and said harshly: "Young, kindergarten is too expensive."
Little Red Horse Academy charges very cheaply, but kindergarten in Pujiang is not cheap. It costs about 800 a month. This is the cheapest.
Zhang Tan and Aunt Huang looked at each other and both knew that this was the root of the problem. After talking so much, they finally had to face this real problem.
No money.
Zhang Tan thought for a while and said, "Is this okay? I understand your difficulties. Life is not easy. So, I will help Xiaobai study until she graduates from college. I will bear the tuition and living expenses during this period. Xiaobai
Red Horse Academy is in my name, and I agree that she can enter the academy for free without increasing your burden. What do you think?"
Malanhua and Bai Jianping looked shocked.
Aunt Huang was equally surprised.
She was worried that Zhang Tan would be passionate for a while, so she persuaded: "Zhang Tan~~"
Zhang Tan interrupted her and said: "I think clearly, this idea is not new to me. That day, when Sister Ma told me that I wanted to withdraw from the kindergarten, I was thinking about this matter. Xiaobai is a very smart person,
She is a very polite, strong and optimistic child. I like her very much and want to help her. This is within my ability. In the future, even if you return to your hometown in Sichuan, my promise will still be valid."
