Speaking of which, Ah Yu and Xie Huai'an are just friends.

It's a bit overwhelming to suddenly be entrusted with a child who needs to be taken care of.

Thinking of what she had said to her grandfather and brother in advance, Ah Yu thought for a moment and then responded.

After agreeing, Ah Yu brought up the matter of dragon boat racing again, and asked Xie Huai'an why he suddenly changed his mind and decided to participate in the competition again.

Mao Mao snorted and wanted to go to Ah Yu's side, but she was trapped in a wooden chair and couldn't get up or down.

Xie Huai'an smiled: "Someone gave me a war letter before, but the other party is a scholar, and I am just a reckless man with no strength, I have a little self-knowledge, and I don't want to be embarrassed by others." ”

"He said that he wanted to compete with me, but whether it was a literary test or a martial test, I was always the one who suffered."

If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have suddenly remembered to use dragon boat racing as a way to compete.

Ah Yu agreed with Xie Huai'an's opinion very much, and said to him: "The person looking for you is really strange, your previous reputation was not spread because of reading, and even now, you don't show that you like to read." He suddenly came to the door and asked for a competition, which was a bit too bullying. ”

Xie Huai'an remembered that Ah Yu didn't like people to mention Duan Yuzhi in front of her, so the person who didn't look for him was Duan Yuzhi.

He nodded, his face full of indignation.

"He also said that the method of the competition can be determined by me, as if he will definitely win, which is really a very annoying person."

The two talked, and it wasn't until the sunset dyed the sky red that Ah Yu got up to say goodbye.

Xie Huai'an also stood up, and Mao Mao, who was sitting on the wooden chair, had already been hugged into his arms, and walked out of the door of Mingxin Hall with Ah Yu on his front and back feet.

Standing at the fork in the road, he shook the sullen child in his arms, and suddenly stopped Ah Yu.

"There are not many days left before the Dragon Boat Festival, and I am going to participate in the dragon boat race, so I will definitely have to spend some time practicing how to row the dragon boat with the team members I have found. Ah, why don't you take Maomao back today and try to take care of it overnight? ”

"If you think Maomao is still easy to take care of tomorrow, then I'll find someone to form a dragon boat team, if you don't think it's okay, then don't try. What do you think? ”

Although Ah Yu had already complied to his request, Xie Huai'an didn't think about bothering Ah Yu too much.

The premise of his request is that Mao Mao is really well taken care of.

If Maomao is in front of Ah Yu and in front of him are two kinds of performance, so that Ah Yu can't help but have the wrong version of the mind, then he will definitely withdraw his previous request.

Ah Yu stopped and looked, blinked, and nodded: "I can, but will Maomao cry to find you at night?" ”

She hadn't seen many children, but children were always willful.

It's like the little cousin of my uncle's family, who made an appointment with her during the day to sleep at night. But when it was night, the little cousin hugged the pillow and cried and shouted to find her mother.

People who don't know think she's being bullied!

Mao Mao is also a child.

A child with an uncertain mind.

If Ah Yu took Mao Mao, he would definitely go back to the Wen Mansion Courtyard.

At that time, the academy was separated from the other courtyards by a lot of roads, and if Mao Mao suddenly wanted Xie Huai'an, then she would have to ask someone to find Xie Huai'an overnight, which was too troublesome.

"You can go back to the other courtyard with me!" Ah Yu quickly came up with a good solution, "You can live in the courtyard last time, and Maomao will live in the small bamboo building with me." If there is really any emergency, it will be easy to solve. ”

The little girl's invitation came casually, and Xie Huai'an didn't think about it, so he agreed directly.

On the other side of Wuliuju, Wen Huan stood in front of Old Lady Wen.

Old lady Wen already knew that Ah Huan planned to stay in the other courtyard, and when she heard Wen Huan talk about this year's Dragon Boat Festival, she only thought for a moment. He said that he planned to stay in the other courtyard with Ah Yu, and in previous years, although he spent most of his time in Hakuba Academy, he would still return to Kyoto during the New Year's holidays. Now Ah Shen is interested in studying, and he doesn't even plan to spend his rare vacation, so he will stay with Ah Yu.

Hearing Mrs. Wen say that he didn't want to go back to Kyoto, Wen Huan said in his heart that he also wanted to stay with Ah Yu, but isn't the situation now allowed!

Wen Huan also told Mrs. Wen that someone in the academy was going to participate in the dragon boat race.

After learning the news from Ah Yu that day, Wen Huan returned to the academy and inquired in many ways.

Although Xie Huai'an hadn't decided on the way to compete with Duan Yuzhi at that time, there were indeed other people in the academy who were ready to participate in the dragon boat race.

Wen Huan: "This should be the first time in the academy that someone has participated in a dragon boat race, no matter how much he wins or loses, my grandfather should always go and see it." ”

Even if those people don't get grades, there is always the encouragement they deserve.

Old Lady Wen was silent.

There were so many people in the academy, he definitely couldn't know everyone.

Compared with strangers who don't know each other, shouldn't it be more important to be Ah Yu?

If he wasn't the dean of White Horse Academy, then he could really just take care of his own mind, stay if he wanted, and don't care about the students who went to participate in the dragon boat race.

It's a pity that he is the director of White Horse Academy.

There are responsibilities that cannot be shirked.

Old lady Wen said to Wen Huan: "...... You spend the Dragon Boat Festival in Kyoto every year, and this year Ah Yu doesn't plan to go back, and I can't stay with her for the time being, do you want to go back to Kyoto, or stay in the other courtyard? ”

"If you go back to Kyoto, the staff in the other courtyard will have to be increased, and if you don't go back, then the safety of Ah Yu will be entrusted to you, what do you think?"

Wen Huan replied without thinking: "Naturally, I stayed." ”

The people left behind by my grandfather in the courtyard must have been trustworthy people.

With those people here, there is no need to worry about Ayu's safety.

Just because you're not worried doesn't mean you won't worry about other things.

The little girl grew up in Kyoto, and she was surrounded by her own people all the time, when did she feel the atmosphere of a festival alone!

Old Lady Wen was not surprised by Wen Huan's answer, and nodded to indicate that he knew.

Ah Yu was still alone before he went out, but when he came back, he became three people, as if he was dragging his family with him.

Xie Huai'an took Maomao to Wuliuju.

If he wants to borrow the Wen family's courtyard for one night, he must first inform the owner of the courtyard.

Ah Yu is also the owner of the other courtyard, but there are Wen Huan and Mrs. Wen above her, and they are both characters that should not be underestimated.

What Xie Huai'an said to Old Lady Wen, Ah Yu didn't know.

After dinner in the weeping flower hall, she took Maomao back to the small bamboo building.

Maomao is only one year old, and she is carried in and out on weekdays, and she has just learned to walk, so she doesn't have much time to go to the ground.

But Ah Yu's strength was small, and he didn't take two steps with the child in his arms, so he had to stop and rest for a while.

She didn't feel bored when she walked and stopped by herself, but Xie Huai'an, who was following her, frowned.

Maomao is now walking very steadily.

In fact, you don't need to hold him all the time, you can let him walk by himself, Ah Yu only needs to watch from the sidelines.

When Ah Yu stopped again, Xie Huai'an couldn't help but want to step forward.

At this time, Mao Mao suddenly pushed away Ah Yu's hand.

Children can't speak the whole sentence yet, they can only jump out of two words and two words.

He looked at Ah Yu softly: "I...... I'm leaving...... Walk ......"

Ah Yu squatted down, his gaze at the level of Mao Mao's eyes.

"Does Maomao want to go by herself?"

There was no superfluous expression on the child's face, and his eyes were staring at Ah Yu without blinking, so that it was impossible to see what he was thinking.

Did I guess him wrong?

Or did he not understand me at all?

Ah Yu was a little confused.

She always felt strange when she looked at the hairy contemplative appearance.

Children have always acted on intuition, and their seemingly contemplative appearance is very similar to a daze if interpreted from another angle.

Maybe it was because she had been in a daze for a long enough time that Maomao finally had the next move.

He took Ah Yu's hand and walked all the way along the bluestone path, without forcing Ah Yu to hold him.

Xie Huai'an followed behind Ah Yu and watched the two of them walk into the small bamboo building, and then asked his subordinates to take him back to the courtyard where he lived temporarily.

Just looking at the interaction between Mao Mao and Ah Shen along the way, I think he will be very obedient in front of Ah Yu.

Maybe it's more than just obedience.

Xie Huai'an has put his mind at ease, but Ah Yu's heart has always been carried.

"Where did you get a child, girl?" When I entered the courtyard, I heard Mama Chang's surprised voice.

Ah Yu's attention was half separated from Mao Mao's body, and he turned to look at Mama Chang: "Mama, his name is Mao Mao, he is the child of Xie Huai'an's family, Xie Huai'an can't get out of his body temporarily, let me help take care of him for two days." ”

Mama Chang knew Xie Huai'an, who was a new friend of their girl.

She stepped forward and found that Ah Yu's face was full of lightness, and she had no thoughts for deep thought, and she wanted to say again, "Girl...... Children don't cry or make trouble during the day, and they seem to be very well cared for, but when there are no familiar people around, they make a fuss that will keep you awake all night......"

Mama Chang is not alarmist.

"I think Maomao should be a special case, he is very well-behaved and obedient, he shouldn't be too noisy!" Ah Yu replied uncertainly.

But whatever the girl believes, even if she hits the south wall, even if the wall collapses, she won't see her look back. She now believes that the child in front of her named Maomao is well-behaved and doesn't like to make noise, and as long as Maomao doesn't make a fuss, the girl won't change her mind.

Mama Chang looked at Mao Mao and smiled: "The girl didn't say that she wanted to bring the child back, and she couldn't clean up a room in the small bamboo building, the girl took this little boy in to rest for a while, and I went to let someone clean up a room for the little boy to come out......"

Ah Yu nodded, seeing that Mama Chang had already turned around to clean up the room.

She took Maomao to the first floor of the small bamboo building, looked at the stairs up, and then looked at Maomao's little short legs, took a deep breath, held the child, climbed to the second floor in one go, and then panted tired at the staircase.

Mama Chang was always worried that Maomao would suddenly become noisy.

Not only her, but Xie Huai'an on the other side was also very worried.

When she was in Xie's house, Mrs. Xie wanted to leave Maomao in her yard for a night, but it was okay during the day, and the children didn't cry or make trouble, which gave Mrs. Xie a little more confidence. However, after nightfall, the whole Xie Mansion could hear the sound of children crying, and I don't know where he got the strength from, and he kept making noise for a quarter of an hour, without stopping at all.

This night, except for Ah Yu and Mao Mao, who slept soundly as usual, the others didn't sleep well.

After Xie Huai'an was sure that Maomao was by Ah Yu's side, he would be extra obedient, so he was very relieved to hand over the child to Ah Yu and went back to the academy by himself.

He's now ready to go to the dragon boat race.

But dragon boating can't always be alone, he also needs to find other people to be companions.

In addition, he had to inform Duan Yuzhi, who had written the war letter.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the Dragon Boat Festival.

Most of the people in the annex were given holidays, and they were fortunate enough to be able to rest for half a day. However, rest comes in turns, some people rest in the morning, and some rest in the afternoon, depending on the individual's thoughts.

Ah Yu got up early in the morning, and Aoba served her to change her clothes.

Only then did he whisper to her: "Young Master Fang Cai came to ask the girl, I want to go back to Kyoto today." ”

Ah Yu looked at the blurred reflection in the mirror, and for a moment forgot why he was angry with his father.

But it was only for a moment.

As long as she doesn't want to leave Kyoto to escape the summer, her father and mother will come forward in person, and she will not change her mind.

As for this year's Dragon Boat Festival, she has already made up her mind that if she doesn't go home, she will definitely not go back.

A: "You and Brother Tell me that I'm not going back." Forget it, I'll talk to him again when I have breakfast! ”

Mama Chang's voice came from outside the door, and Ah Yu looked at the door when she heard the voice.

The little child held the threshold with both hands, and turned from the door to the door with difficulty, and the lower plate was unstable for a while, and he rolled on the ground twice.

Mao Mao lay on the ground and waited for a while, but saw that no one came to help him.

The child rolled over on the spot and got up on his own.

When Ah Yu came over, the child was already standing up on his own.

Looking at the dust on Maomao's clothes, Ah Yu frowned unhappily: "Mama, where are the people who take care of Maomao?" ”

There is no reason to let such a small child run around on his own.

A few days ago, it wasn't all after she dressed up, she went to the next room to find Maomao.

Maomao will always stay in the room obediently, waiting for her arrival, no matter what she says to Maomao, the child will look at her with a smile, the most well-behaved.

She got up earlier today than a few days ago, but now she saw the child running over by herself.

"Mao Mao wants to come to me, the threshold is so high, I don't want to bring him in, and let him cross the threshold by himself!"

Ah Yu was very unhappy and hugged Maomao in her arms, and when she looked at Mama Chang, she couldn't help but have a trace of dissatisfaction in her eyes.

Forget about the others.

Mama Chang is the one who has always taken care of her, how could she not know how much she values Maomao!

But she still allowed Maomao to be 'self-reliant' here, which made Ah Yu not very happy.
