On the way back to the classroom, I thought of what Lin Nianwei said just now in the office.
When she thought that Liu Weicheng still cared about her, Zhao Xuanying's mouth felt like a mouthful of honey, and the sweet taste flowed down her mouth to her heart.
The fatigue was swept away, and even after arriving at the door of his class, he didn't enter.
The recess time is coming to an end, and more and more students in the corridor are hurrying back to their respective classes.
Zhao Xuanying, who was standing at the door of the class, was also taking a deep breath to ensure that her emotions had stabilized slightly before she was ready to turn around and enter the class.
As soon as I turned around, I almost bumped into the head teacher who was going out.
Fortunately, the brakes were successfully applied halfway and an embarrassing incident was avoided.
"You are here."
Before Zhao Xuanying could speak, the head teacher who had just come out of the classroom said so.
"You don't have to go to class this afternoon."
"..."
"ah?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Xuanying was stunned for a moment.
After blinking his eyes several times, the silence ended and he made a very confused sound.
Seeing the confusion of his students, the class teacher also realized that what he said was not clear enough, and then added.
"It's your grandma who's here. She asked for half a day's leave for you."
"My grandma?"
His head was tilted.
Zhao Xuanying thought she had heard wrongly, and hurriedly looked back at the corridor behind her, but did not find her grandmother.
"I'm in the office downstairs. I was afraid that the old man's legs and feet would be inconvenient, so I went to call you personally."
He opened his mouth to explain.
As Zhao Xuanying's class teacher, although he was not too young in his thirties, he could not find any flaws in his character. He seemed to be aware of the other party's confusion, and after explaining, he walked towards the stairs.
He waved to Zhao Xuanying behind him and continued with a smile.
"I just heard that you went to the office with your test papers. I was just about to go find you."
"What's wrong with my grandma? Is she feeling unwell?"
Compared with listening to the homeroom teacher's irrelevant topics, Zhao Xuanying seemed a little nervous at this moment.
After all, in her opinion, grandma should be at work during this time.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xuanying immediately felt nervous.
In recent years, Zhang Cuilan's physical condition has become worse and worse. In the first half of the year, she fainted from heatstroke on the street due to the high temperature. Fortunately, someone helped her and sent her to the hospital, which prevented an accident.
Zhao Xuanying mistakenly thought that something had happened to her grandma again, and now Zhao Xuanying's heart was almost in her throat.
"It's okay, he looks pretty tough."
"Huh...that's good."
He breathed a sigh of relief, and his nervousness subsided a little.
Zhao Xuanying followed her class teacher downstairs and saw her grandma at the door of the office from a distance.
She was dressed the same as before going out in the morning, and her complexion seemed to be fine. Especially after seeing her granddaughter, the wrinkles on her face became more conspicuous because of her smile.
The head teacher brought Zhao Xuanying to Zhang Cuilan. After chatting with the student's parents for a few words, he opened the door and entered the office to prepare for class.
Zhang Cuilan took her granddaughter's hand and walked towards the teaching building downstairs.
The confused Zhao Xuanying was led for a while, and it was not until she finished walking down the stairs and was about to walk towards the school gate that she came to her senses.
He stopped and forced Zhang Cuilan, who was leading the way, to turn around.
"I still have class today!"
"It's okay, I've asked for leave for you."
"Then what are you going to do? And...don't you have to go to work today?"
After hearing the explanation given by her grandma, Zhao Xuanying was completely confused.
When it comes to studying, my grandmother has always maintained a supportive and important attitude. The childish behavior of asking for leave now, unless there is a major accident, is simply impossible.
"..."
Looking wordlessly at the girl behind her, Zhang Cuilan pursed her lips and remained silent for a while, her eyes fixed on her granddaughter for a long time.
She said with a smile as if she wanted to look more free and easy.
"My salary is paid today. I will take you to buy new clothes."
"Is that why?"
"Girl, don't you want to buy new clothes? You wear your school uniform all day long, so it's time to put on some decent clothes."
"I don't need it. The clothes I'm wearing are very good now. Other students are also wearing school uniforms."
"What about on vacation? You wear this when you go out with friends."
"Didn't Lili bring me several pieces? Those clothes are very beautiful!"
The two mothers and grandsons were arguing with each other word by word.
Young girls are the age group that should be interested in beautiful clothes and objects.
Zhao Xuanying was not surprised either.
Due to the education she received since she was a child and seeing her grandma working hard, Zhao Xuanying has always been very conservative in spending money.
She is sensible and feels that she should not spend money on these things. If she has to buy clothes anyway, she hopes that her grandma can keep the money for herself.
Over the years, she has been able to wear a few more clothes during the holidays.
But grandma hasn't changed into new clothes for many years.
The hand held by Zhang Cuilan swayed as if coquettishly, Zhao Xuanying said with a smile.
"I'm not short of clothes at all, really! It's Saturday in two days, so I'll buy it when I have a break. I'll go shopping with you. Grandma, you should have a few more new clothes."
"..."
"It's not long before the final exam. The teacher is going to talk about the test paper from the day before yesterday. I don't want to ask for leave."
"..."
"grandmother?"
He said a lot, but Zhao Xuanying's words did not receive any response from Zhang Cuilan.
Looking at himself, the grandma opposite seemed to be in a daze, motionless.
It wasn't until Zhao Xuanying called the other party many times that Zhang Cuilan suddenly woke up.
She seemed to be distracted just now.
"Let's go, I'll take a taxi at the intersection later. The pedestrian street should be very busy at this time."
Zhang Cuilan seemed to have not heard what Zhao Xuanying just said. After saying this, she took the other person's hand and turned around and walked towards the school gate.
This abnormal behavior made Zhao Xuanying worried. Looking at her grandma who had been thinking about it, she did not refuse this time.
Arriving at the guard room, Zhang Cuilan rummaged in her pocket for a long time before handing over the leave request form she received from her class teacher.
The guard took a look at it, made sure it had the teacher's signature, and then opened the door to let him go.
After leaving the school gate, Zhang Cuilan looked back and forth on both sides of the road, and then she quickly pulled her granddaughter towards the intersection.
She, who has always been frugal, actually thought of taking a taxi, which made Zhao Xuanying who was following behind her even more moved and worried.
She always feels that.
Grandma today... seems to have something on her mind.
