In the courtyard of Little Red Horse Academy, the shadows of the trees were dancing under the moonlight, the wind was blowing, and little bugs were playing and singing around.
Zhang Tan moved two chairs from the classroom and sat down with Lao Li and Meng Guangxin. He pointed to another empty chair and said to Xi'er who was looking this way from a distance: "Want to come over and sit? Sit here."
Hiahia ran over and hesitated whether to sit for her. After getting a positive answer, she happily sat down, holding the unfinished bear drink and biting the straw.
"Have you finished drinking your little bear yet?" Zhang Tan asked. He had just seen her giving one mouthful to one person and another to that person, and thought he had finished drinking it.
"hiahiahia~~~" Xi'er giggled and shook the bottle. There was still the sound of water. She bit the straw and took a long time to take a small sip. Naturally, she could drink for a long time.
She looked up at Meng Guangxin and said, "Cheng Cheng's father, why are you looking at me?"
Meng Guangxin laughed and said she was so cute, "Do you know me?"
"You are Cheng Cheng's father, hiahia, do you know who I am?"
Meng Guangxin hesitated and asked tentatively: "Are you Xiaomi?"
Hiahia laughed and said she was Xi'er, not Xiaomi.
Meng Guangxin smiled awkwardly.
Xi'er asked again: "Are you here to see Cheng Cheng?"
"yes."
"Did you know that Cheng Cheng is great at telling stories?"
"Oh? Really?"
He knew that Cheng Cheng liked to read picture books and tell stories. She often told them to small animal dolls at home. He also heard that she often told them to children at Little Red Horse Academy, but he rarely saw her with his own eyes.
I came so early today and made a special trip to observe. The shy little guy was actually telling stories to several children, and he was not shy at all.
He stood looking out the window for a long time and couldn't hear anything, but he watched with gusto and seemed to be immersed in Cheng Cheng's story. This side of his daughter was unfamiliar to him, and he was relieved and surprised.
Guilt.
Xi'er didn't sit in the yard for long. Drinking tea with a few adults was boring, and they didn't play with her. She ran to find Xiaobai and Xiaomi.
The remaining three people were drinking tea and chatting in the yard. The purple clay pot was steaming, and Lao Li kept making new tea for the two of them.
At this time, the little red horse is the quietest, and parents picking up and dropping off their children will not come during this time.
The three of them chatted incessantly. Lao Li and Meng Guangxin talked a lot, but Zhang Tan talked less.
"You haven't been very busy at work lately, have you?" Zhang Tan asked.
Meng Guangxin said: "The job is still the same job, and the things are still the same, but they are not so busy anymore."
He went on to say: "There is no way to finish things. Even if you work overtime and finish it today, there will be nothing missing for tomorrow."
He used to be busy working, doing more work than others, but received little recognition and praise. Now he has changed his work attitude and method, no longer being a bad person, and has a lot less things to do, and his work and life have suddenly become smoother.
.
Before leaving get off work today, his immediate boss had a conversation with him. He thought they were going to talk about work, but in fact they were not. The two of them just chatted, mostly about life, like friends chatting about daily life. Only at the end, the boss raised the topic and said that work is for Life, if life is not straightened out, work cannot be straightened out. Work hard and enjoy life.
In the corridor outside the classroom, four little guys ran out one after another, and flew into the woods next to them. They thought Zhang Tan didn't notice them.
They were watering the vegetable seedlings they planted and squatting in front of them to look at them. It took a while before they returned to the classroom.
Meng Guangxin also came to the classroom and sat quietly outside the children, listening to Cheng Cheng's story.
Only Zhang Tan and Lao Li were left in the yard. Lao Li suddenly said: "The young couple outside is here again."
"Which young couple?"
Zhang Tan turned around and looked outside the courtyard gate, and indeed saw a young man and woman wandering outside the gate, and a group of children clinging to the iron gate to look inside.
"I think I've seen them too, what's wrong? Do they come often?" Zhang Tan asked.
Lao Li: "Not only do I come here often, I come here almost every day."
"What for? I saw they were bringing children."
"I don't know why, let me ask. They didn't say anything and just left with the child. I doubt they wanted to throw the child away, right?"
"Ah? No way."
"Harm, I'm just guessing. I can't ask, so I can only guess."
"I'll go take a look."
Zhang Tan got up, came outside the courtyard, and asked them, "Are you in trouble? Do you want to come in and take a look?"
The couple looked at each other, and the man nodded and made a few gestures with his hands, leaving Zhang Tan confused. He seemed to be mute.
Zhang Tan couldn't understand sign language, so he could only guide them in and look around.
The two men took the children outside the classroom and looked at the children playing inside through the window. The baby in the woman's arms was babbling and wanted to join in.
Zhang Tan whispered to Lao Li that the two of them were disabled and could not speak.
Lao Li suddenly understood. No wonder he came up to ask several times, but they didn't say anything and turned around and left.
At the door of the classroom, a child leaned on the edge of the door and looked out, sizing up the family of three. He ran out and ran to Zhang Tan and asked: "Boss Zhang, who is that??"
It was Xiaobai who noticed someone peeking at them outside the window and immediately ran out to inquire about the situation.
"Don't worry, they just want to see the little red horse. Maybe they want to put their little baby here." Zhang Tan said.
Xiaobai said "oh" and saw the young couple leaving. The man bowed slightly to Zhang Tan, waved goodbye, and left with the woman holding the child.

The latest issue of "Fantasy Night of the Tang Dynasty" hit a new sales high. Today's traffic and topic is "Qin Shi Mingyue". Friends who like this comic have naturally heard of Little Red Horse Comics Studio, and Little Red Horse
The studio is about to launch a new comic, which tells a fairy tale about a human child and a little mermaid. People are talking about it and are looking forward to it.
The magazine has already made a preview, as well as a simple introduction and poster. On the poster, Ponyo is trapped in a bubble, as small as a little goldfish, flying in the air and looking at Sousuke on the cliff.
Looking at the poster and introduction, this will not be the passionate style of "Qin Shi Mingyue".
"It should be similar to the style of "Coco"."
"That's great. I really like "Coco". I heard that it has been adapted into a comic book and handed over to Pujiang Film Studio. I don't know when it will be released. I'm really looking forward to it."
"It might just be similar, but of course it won't be exactly the same style, but I'm still looking forward to it."
"I also really like the style of "Looking for Dreams". "Qin Shi Mingyue" is not my cup of tea. I was quite disappointed at first, but now it's better. I hope to see "Ponyo on the Cliff" soon. Ponyo
Is it a little goldfish? A little mermaid?”
"I'm tired of watching the fighting and killing. I still like quieter comics. I hope this one will be my cup of tea."
