"Ah? Zhang Tan really doesn't give me this little face? It's so embarrassing."
On the phone, Wang Yu was disappointed when Su Lan said that Zhang Tan didn't have time to attend the appointment.
Su Lan said on the phone: "No, Zhang Tan is not that stingy. He really has something to do. The crew has to film at night, and as a screenwriter, he can't leave."
"Well, okay, I understand. Susu, I'll leave early tomorrow morning. Thank you very much this time. Without your help, we would definitely be in a miserable state."
"No need to say such outlandish words."
"Help me also thank Zhang Tan. Hey, forget it, I also have his phone number and WeChat, so I'll just say it myself."
"It feels like you're afraid of him?"
"It's not that I'm afraid of him, it's... Hey, okay, Susu, I'll tell you the truth, don't be angry."
"You tell me, I'm not angry."
"That day I went to the set to see you. Didn't you ask Zhang Tan to entertain me and treat me to dinner at noon? I left because of work reasons and passed him up. In fact, the work was not that urgent at the time. It was because I had a bad impression of him.
I didn’t want to eat alone with him, so I found an excuse to run away..."
Su Lan was angry and speechless as she listened there. She thought to herself that no wonder Zhang Tan didn't want to go to the banquet. He was not a fool. Could it be seen? He was already at the door of the hotel. No matter how busy he was at work, he couldn't squeeze in a meal.
time?
Immediately, she felt guilty, because she had asked Zhang Tan to help receive Wang Yu that time, and she had asked Zhang Tan to attend the lunch banquet. As a result, Zhang Tan was dumped like this, how shameless.
Wang Yu did something wrong, but she felt that she was also responsible.
The crew was filming in the evening, and Su Land was looking around. Yang Zhu saw this and asked: "Sister Su Su, what are you looking for?"
"Have you seen Zhang Tan?"
"Teacher Zhang, he left at six o'clock."
When Su Lan heard this, she realized that this guy, she gave him an excuse, saying that he couldn't leave when the crew was filming at night.
She couldn't hold it back and sent a WeChat message: I asked the screenwriter to talk about the play, but couldn't find it. Why isn't Lao Wu here?
After just waiting for a while, Zhang Tan replied: Xiaobai is crying. I will comfort her first. I will call you back in half an hour and I will explain the play to you. Old Wu's understanding of the script is not as deep as mine.
Su Lan blinked her eyes and completely forgot about the drama. She was more concerned about why Xiaobai cried? Also, why did Xiaobai need Zhang Tan to comfort him when he cried? Who was she?
She then sent a message asking: Why is Xiaobai crying?
This time Zhang Tan replied faster, replying in seconds: Please come but you won’t come.
Su Lan: "..."
At this moment, there was a lot of crying in Little Red Horse Academy late at night, and the melon boys were crying together.
Xiao Qian was surrounded by everyone. The children were crying, and she was crying too. Jiang Bin held her in his arms and comforted her softly.
Teachers Xiaoliu and Xiaoman stood outside the children, their eyes red.
Xiaoqian is leaving, and she will not come to Little Red Pony Academy again after tonight.
In the principal's office on the second floor, Aunt Huang was completing procedures for Xiao Qian. Xiao Qian's parents were here, and Zhang Tan was also there.
"Why are you leaving so suddenly? It's too sudden." Aunt Huang was very reluctant to leave.
Xiaoqian has been at Little Red Horse for more than half a year. After being together for such a long time, feelings will develop, but today her parents suddenly came to the academy together and said that they wanted to go through the withdrawal procedures for Xiaoqian.
"There is nothing we can do. The fetus in my wife's belly is a bit unstable. Although the Pujiang River is good, our living environment is not good. My hometown is just a small county town, but the air is good and the mountains and rivers are good for physical and mental health."
Xiaoqian’s father was in a state of hiss.
Originally, their family of three lived in the Pujiang River, and the couple worked to make money. Xiaoqian went to the kindergarten during the day and went to Little Red Horse Late Night Academy at night. Their life was busy but warm and happy, but his wife was pregnant and was already 4 months old.
The cost of living in Pujiang is so high. Life is too tight for a man to make money alone. So the couple discussed and decided that the wife and children would go back to their hometown first, and the children would go to school there. The wife would have peace of mind to raise the baby, and there are old parents at home.
Being able to take care of her is more reassuring than in Pujiang, and the man can continue to stay here and work hard.
This not only saves the cost of living, but also helps the wife raise a baby.
"Then will Xiaoqian come again in the future?" Aunt Huang asked reluctantly after all the procedures were completed.
Xiao Qian’s father said: “I don’t know now.”
But he said that the cost of living with two children in Pujiang is very high.
His hometown is a small county town in Ningbo.
"Sorry to bother you, Xiao Qian is very happy here and has learned a lot in the past six months or so. Thank you." Xiao Qian's father said, and he and his wife bowed to Aunt Huang and Zhang Tan.
It is precisely because of Little Red Horse Late Night Academy that they can work with peace of mind at night without worrying about having no one to take care of their children at home.
They also knew that Little Red Horse Late Night Academy was run with a subsidized fee, after all, the fees charged to them were very low.
"No need to say these polite words, this is what the academy should do." Aunt Huang said.
"Then let's go, goodbye." Xiao Qian's father said.
"goodbye."
"goodbye."
Zhang Tan and Aunt Huang sent them out.
Watching them go downstairs, Aunt Huang sighed: "I'm old, I can't bear to see such a separation."
Zhang Tan: "You are still young. You are not even married yet."
Aunt Huang shook her head, not sure whether she was speechless to Huang Liangliang, speechless to her, or speechless to her.
She organized the open filing cabinet, took out a large black book, picked up the pen on the table, and wrote on it. She suddenly said in surprise: "Oh, it happens to be the 500th one."
"What exactly is the 500th one?" Zhang Tan looked at her black leather notebook.
"Xiao Qian is the 500th child to leave our kindergarten."
Zhang Tan was surprised: "500? Are there that many?"
Aunt Huang flipped through the thick notebook and said, "Yes, it has been more than three years, and I see more than 100 children a year. The mobility is very high."
"Let me see."
Aunt Huang handed him the black-covered notebook and said, "Before I knew it, there were so many children."
The notebook was very large and heavy. Zhang Tan flipped through it at will. It was all written by Aunt Huang. She wrote it word by word with a black pen. Each child's name, place of origin, age, gender, etc. were noted.
There are photos.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! These photos are not ID photos, but photos of children's daily lives. All of them are smiling faces, very innocent smiles.
It can be seen that the backgrounds were all taken at Little Red Pony Academy, and the gate of the academy was used as the background: a red galloping pony with four hooves in the air, and in front of it were children with various expressions.
Some of them are shy, some are excited, some hold back their laughter but still smile overflowing, some hold scissor hands, some hold their little hands behind their backs, some tilt their heads, some stick out their tongues, some look up to the sky and laugh,
Some have tears in their eyes but laugh through tears...
Various expressions seem to be right in front of you.
Zhang Tan couldn't help but smile as he watched.
At this moment, he felt that this might be the meaning of opening Little Red Pony Late Night Academy. No matter what hardships there were in life, children should not have to bear them. They should just be responsible and happy.
He turned to the latest page, and there was only one name for the time being, which was what Aunt Huang had just written:
Yao Yuexi...
This is Xiaoqian's real name.
Xiaoqian is just her nickname.
Zhang Tan doesn't know why her father gave her a boy's name. Perhaps because of this, she usually calls her by a nickname, so many people don't know her real name.
The door of the office was not closed, and the crying downstairs suddenly became louder. Zhang Tan raised his head and looked out the window. It was already dark in the night, and there was light rain hitting the leaves, making a dense sound.
He handed back the notebook to Aunt Huang and said, "I'll go down and take a look. Everyone is crying."
"Let's go, I'll go down too."
The two went downstairs and saw children gathered together, crying loudly.
Zhang Tan saw Xiaobai, saw Liliu, saw Xiaomi, saw Tan Xier, Cheng Cheng, Luo Zikang...
Xiaoqian's face was full of tears, she hugged everyone tightly and was unwilling to leave. She muttered, "I want to be a sister, but I have to leave" and "I don't want to be a sister anymore."
The teachers and Xiaoqian's parents tried to comfort them, but it didn't work.
Zhang Tan thought about how when he first came to the academy during the summer vacation, Xiaomi was about to be taken away. Everyone burst into tears, and he was even bitten by Xiaobai. This time he did not dare to come forward and join in the fun. Besides, there were so many melons, and he
No one can comfort me.
Fortunately, Aunt Huang was very experienced. She held Xiao Qian in her arms and comforted her softly.
This is the eye of the storm. Only by comforting her can the other children control their emotions.
Zhang Tan couldn't bear to see Xiaobai crying miserably, so he went over to rub her watermelon head.
When Xiaobai saw him, he pursed his lips and cried: "Uncle~~Why does Xiaoqian want to leave?? I don't want her to leave~~"
Just like Xiaomi last time, she was not willing to let Xiao Qian go. Before Zhang Tan returned, she ran to Aunt Huang and hugged her legs to prevent her from taking Xiao Qian away.
Aunt Huang: "..."
After being noisy for a while, the children finally stopped crying after being comforted by everyone.
Xiao Qian said goodbye to everyone and waved her little hands, saying she was really leaving this time.
The children who had been quiet just now burst into tears again.
Xiao Qian's father did not dare to stay any longer, so he hugged Xiao Qian and left.
Under the darkness of night, it started to rain outside...
"Xiao Qian~~~"
Jiang Bin broke through the teachers' defense line and chased him under the eaves. He looked at Xiao Qian being held in his arms by his father and tried not to cry with tears in his eyes.
PS: One of the main threads of this book is to write about the families in Little Red Horse Academy from the perspective of Zhang Tan and Xiaobai, the welcoming and farewell, and Xiaoqian's departure. You may be worried about the arrival of Cheng Xi'er.
Will she leave? Don’t worry, I will write this line while ensuring that the main cute kids are there.
