Inside the school.

"You kid, what are you running, I won't eat you, what should I do if I get sick when it's raining so hard!" The middle-aged man's eyebrows revealed a look of pity, and he half-squatted down and took out a handkerchief to carefully wipe the rain on A's face.

Looking back at Fan Yan, who didn't dare to raise his head on the side, he knew the general situation of the matter, and suddenly became a little angry and funny, pretending to be angry and said: "Fan Yan, is your father and I such a terrible person in your eyes?"

Fan Yan was a little uneasy, his eyes were dodgy, he looked down at the carved wooden door of the school, and whispered: "Isn't it? Last time you glared at Qi Wu, even he was too scared to speak." ”

"You girl!" The middle-aged man made a gesture and lightly slapped Fan Yan's head, but he also approached the past, and half-squatted to comb Fan Yan's wind-blown hair. Then he led Ah Xiao to Fan Yan, got up and said:

"Ah Xiao, I will now formally introduce to you, I am the gentleman in this school, you can call me Mr. Zhao. As for this troublemaker, it's my daughter Fanyan. ”

Ah Xiao bowed and bowed to Mr. Zhao.

Mr. Zhao smiled and stood there to accept this salute, and said: "Then this ceremony can be regarded as an apprenticeship ceremony, in the future, you will have to come here to attend classes together, the days are from Monday to Friday, two days off, today is Saturday, you can come over next Monday, carefully when the time comes, I will let Brother Jiang tell you, things in the school, if there is anything you don't understand, Fanyan will tell you." ”

Ah Xiao was a little overwhelmed, and wondered when he would be able to come to the school for class. Although I don't know what the reason is, I still bow down, intending to bow again.

Seeing Ah Xiao's appearance, Mr. Zhao stretched out his hands to support his body, and said with a smile: "You don't have to look like this, your grandfather and Brother Jiang have already come to me a few days ago, saying that you are also of school age, and they are discussing bringing you over in the next few days, but I didn't expect you to come here so early today." I also hugged you when you were a child, to be honest, Ah Xiao, you look like a little boy from a family, it's a pity not to come to school. ”

Ah Xiao heard Mr. Zhao's praise like this, and his face turned a little red.

"Hahaha... Stinky thief, you're blushing again!" Fan Yan stuck out a small head from behind Mr. Zhao and made a grimace with his tongue out.

Mr. Zhao was a little angry, his eyebrows were like knives, his eyes looked at Fan Yan, and two eagle-like sharp eyes pierced Fan Yan's face, and he snorted heavily.

Fan Yan was most afraid of this stern father on weekdays, but now when he heard his father's cold snort, he immediately knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he reluctantly lowered his head and walked in front of Ah Xiao, and said a little aggrievedly, "I'm sorry." ”

"It's okay Mr. Zhao, I don't care, she's just joking with me!" Ah Xiao looked at such an aggrieved Fanyan, and he didn't want to be embarrassed, so he begged Mr. Zhao for mercy.

Mr. Zhao only punished Fan Yan a little, he was just a baby girl, he was afraid of melting in his mouth, how dare he let her suffer a little grievance?

After seeing Mr. Zhao go upstairs, Fan Yan made a striking gesture towards Mr. Zhao's back, put his two hands against the corners of his eyes, rolled his eyes, and whispered "slightly" to Mr. Zhao's back.

Mr. Zhao turned around suddenly, so frightened that Fan Yan immediately stopped, and stood there obediently and didn't dare to speak, Mr. Zhao didn't know if he saw it or not, but added to Ah Xiao: "I forgot to say one thing, Ah Xiao, do you know how old you are?" I don't know how old you are when I hugged you, and I didn't ask you how old you are, so I can make a record." ”

Ah Xiao scratched his head and thought about it, it seemed that the old Taoist priest didn't know his specific age, but the old Taoist priest said that he should be eight years old, so he said, "Grandpa said that I was eight years old." ”

Mr. Zhao wrote down Ah Xiao's age in his heart, and asked, "Then do you know about your birthday?"

Ah Xiao shook his head.

Mr. Zhao frowned, the student's birthday is an important column in the transcript, but no one knows about Ah Xiao's birthday, his brows furrowed for a while, he thought of a way, looked at Ah Xiao and said, "Then Ah Xiao, I use the day of your enrollment today as your birthday, fill in the birthday column, what do you think?"

Ah Xiao thought for a while, and felt that he still had to ask his grandfather before he could make a decision, so he thanked him: "Thank you, Mr. Zhao, I think this matter should be done by going home and asking grandpa first." ”

Mr. Zhao couldn't help but laugh dumbly, it seemed that he was too anxious to urgently fill in Ah Xiao's transcript, and he was a little embarrassed to ask such a reckless question, and said: "It's me who is reckless, then I'll go get busy first, Fanyan, you take Ah Xiao here to go around." ”

After confirming that Mr. Zhao had really gone upstairs, Fan Yan turned his head to look at Ah Xiao and said with a smile: "Do you know what you want to call me now?"

Ah Xiao shook his head.

"Call me Senior Sister! Do you understand? I entered the school before you, and you are new here, call me Senior Sister, and I will definitely cover you. Fan Yan patted Ah Xiao's shoulder and said with a big grin.

Ah Xiao was a little puzzled: "Su Jie also came to school before me, should I also call him senior brother? By the way, do you know Su Jie?"

"No, you're at the same level, what's your name, brother! Also, who doesn't know that simple-minded guy?"

"Oh, are you on the same level as me?"

"yes!"

"Then why do I call you Senior Sister? Could it be that you are older than me?" Ah Xiao was puzzled, and then added: "Although I don't know how old I am, maybe I'm older than you?"

"What do you know? As the old saying goes: 'Where the Tao exists, so does the teacher.' 'You come to school, I'll teach you what you don't know, it's more than enough to be your master, and it's already for you to call your senior sister for your face. Fan Yan gave him a blank look.

Ah Xiao stood in place, thinking about the meaning of the ancient words said by Fan Yan, and it took a while to understand, although he didn't know what was wrong, but he felt that what Fan Yan said was right, so he called out in a low voice: "Senior sister." ”

"Eh, senior brother, senior sister will cover you in the future, come on, let me take you here for a walk. Fan Yan was very familiar with Ah Xiao's shoulder, and with his other hand, he took out a string of brass keys out of nowhere, inserted them into the lock hole of the wooden door and twisted them, only to hear the sound of "tart", and the lock was opened.

"Come here, I'll tell you, the desks and cases here are all bought with money donated by big families in the county. Fan Yan explained to Ah Xiao.

When Ah Xiao heard this, his mind was a little moved, and he asked a little shyly, "Then can I sit down for a while?"

Seeing his appearance, Fan Yan thought of his usual weak posture again, and pointed his head angrily: "Why are you so cowardly?

After saying this, Fan Yan looked at him very seriously, and said very seriously: "You must know, you are my junior brother, you can sit casually with everything here, and when you meet those classmates who come to class, you must not be so weak, otherwise you will be bullied." ”

Ah Xiao nodded.

In fact, Fan Yan didn't know that he wasn't cowardice at all, nor was he weak, he just didn't want to cause trouble to others.

The time for the children to be together passed very quickly, and a quarter of an hour had passed when Fanyan had finished introducing various tools and books to Axiao, Axiao looked at the already clear sky outside the window, walked out of the door, and happened to meet Mr. Zhao who came down from upstairs, and said, "Hello, sir." ”

Mr. Zhao responded with a smile, handed Ah Xiao a note, and said, "Ah Xiao, there are some things I told your grandfather about here, and you will give them to your grandfather when the time comes, and he will naturally know." ”

"The rain has stopped, Mr. Zhao, I'll go out first. Ah Xiao said.

Mr. Zhao pulled out the fan smoke sitting in the school, and said with a smile: "I know that Brother Jiang is going to take you out today, so I won't be polite, be careful on the road, the road is slippery when it rains, and there is no water in my school, so I must step on these stepping stones when I go out, so as not to wet my shoes." ”

Ah Xiao thanked him and stepped on the round bluestone to get out of the courtyard door.

Mr. Zhao turned his head to look at Fanyan, who was a little reluctant, scratched her small nose, and said, "My Fanyan has a fancy for others?"

Fan Yan made a gesture to hit Mr. Zhao.

Mr. Zhao smiled and held Fan Yan's hand, deliberately teasing Fan Yan and said, "A well-behaved and smart child like Ah Xiao is not unavoidable to be my son-in-law! Do you know what I wrote in the note I just gave his grandfather?"

"What is it?" Fan Yan was a little confused.

"Discuss with his grandfather to order a marriage letter for you!"

"You're still a gentleman!" Fan Yan was a little angry, got rid of Mr. Zhao's control, raised his small fist, punched Mr. Zhao in the chest, and ran upstairs alone, even stepping on the stairs loudly.

Mr. Zhao let out an "ouch" in pain, looked at the back of his daughter running upstairs, and chuckled: "I can't cure you yet." ”

But he thought about it for a while: "Ah Xiao is indeed very well-behaved, his own Fan Yan is the same age as Ah Xiao, but he will only make trouble for himself, and none of the little guys in the school are fuel-efficient lamps." It's not bad to think about it this way, but I don't know how this little guy behaves, so isn't it a bit early to think about this now?"

Ah Xiaoyuan, who had already gone out, didn't know what was happening behind him, he just wanted to get on Uncle Jiang's boat now, feel the feeling of riding a boat, see where Hexi was, what was the melon orchard like, and think of the scene where he could temporarily have all the melons in the melon orchard in Hexi, the child's immature face couldn't help but smile.

Not far from the alley.

A woman in a red shirt stood there in a daze.

The woman has a beautiful face, and she can be regarded as the best in the small town, but her beautiful face is too pale, and her eyes are white and dull, without revealing half of her emotions.

Looking at the small figure walking on the road, the corners of her mouth gradually moistened.
