When Mi Yang was about to leave after delivering the stewed food, Bai Luochuan held Mi Yang's hand and stopped him from leaving. He said to him, "We have some new kiwis from the south at home. They are delicious. Why don't you stay and let's eat them together?"
Mi Yang shook his head and said, "I'm full."
Bai Luochuan didn't give up and asked him again: "What about the last time we put half of the puzzle together, and the Rubik's Cube hasn't been restored yet." He rolled his eyes and made a calculation, just wanting Mi Yang to stay.
Mr. Bai pretended to read a newspaper in the living room, but he was also secretly looking up at the two children.
Sure enough, the slightly shorter child stood on tiptoe and touched his grandson's head, and coaxed him like a little adult. Although his precious grandson was still not happy, he slowly let go of his hand and let him go. He still listened to the advice. The little boy holding the empty plate at the door loved to laugh, and his curved eyes made people like him. He was obedient and sensible, and Mr. Bai liked him.
Although Bai Luochuan let go, he still found an excuse and said, "I have to go see Mi Yang off." Then he followed the man out, and the nanny didn't have time to stop him.
He walked hand in hand with Mi Yang, humming on the way. He glanced at Mi Yang and suddenly called him, "Little cutie."
Mi Yang turned his head to look at him: "What did you say?"
Bai Luochuan smiled with his white teeth showing, and said with cunning in his eyes: "I heard your grandma calling you like that, I want to call you too."
Mi Yang shook his head and said, "This is not good, just call me by my name."
Bai Luochuan said proudly: "I don't."
He called out twice more, but Mi Yang didn't say anything. Young Master Bai's temper was getting worse and worse. He let him call out a few more times, but Mi Yang lost interest and stopped calling out. Sure enough, after calling out a few times and getting no response, Bai Luochuan called back to Mi Yang, muttering something about their studies in a low voice.
Bai Luochuan said: "My mom said I will go to elementary school in September."
Mi Yang nodded and said, "Yes."
Bai Luochuan said again: "Can we still study in the same class?"
Mi Yang said yes, but he was thinking in his heart that it was uncertain whether Master Bai could stay to study. Mrs. Bai had been transferred here for a few years, but she would go to Shanghai several times every year, and it seemed that she was ready to go back at any time. Political Commissar Bai had to stay in the military region, but this place was too hard. Not to mention that Mrs. Bai's own work development was limited, the children's education could not keep up. Kindergarten was okay, it was nothing more than playing with them, but when it came to the nine-year compulsory education, it was impossible for them to stay in this border town.
Young Master Bai was oblivious to his suffering and was still happily imagining that the two of them would continue playing in the "primary school" in the future. He even asked Mi Yang if he liked the little wooden horse so that they could take it to the elementary school to continue playing with it.
Mi Yang lied to him: "Why bring it? The elementary school gave out new toys."
Bai Luochuan asked in surprise: "Really?"
Mi Yang nodded and suppressed a smile, "Yes, every day." One lesson, one exercise, a required homework in primary school, from writing to arithmetic, fresh homework is assigned every day.
Bai Luochuan didn’t understand, but was quite looking forward to it.
The distance from Bai's house to Mi Yang's house was not far, and they arrived in a short while. After Bai Luochuan sent Mi Yang to his house, he rolled his eyes and lingered at the door, "It's getting dark, how about I sleep at your house?"
Mi Yang was amused by him and said, "No, I can't sleep anymore."
Bai Luochuan insisted: "I slept there at noon last Sunday. I can sleep well."
Mi Yang shook his head: "My grandma is here."
Bai Luochuan then remembered and said with a bit of disappointment: "Oh, yes, I forgot." Then he went back to his home, looking back every three steps.
Mi Yang stood at the door, and when he saw the guards approaching with flashlights after he had taken only two steps, he felt relieved and went in. He used to be a little afraid of Master Bai, but after becoming a child, he had been with him for several years, watching Master Bai grow up little by little, and he often put himself in the position of protecting him, subconsciously paying attention to his situation.
