Ji Baian also came to the bedroom to see them. Mi Yang had medicine applied on his legs and the blood on his mouth was wiped off. He sat there and was blown by Bai Luochuan holding his knees. When he saw Ji Baian coming in, he pulled his legs back a little embarrassedly and whispered, "It's really okay."

Ji Baian took two steps forward and asked carefully, "What happened to Mi Yang? Why did he fall suddenly?"

Bai Luochuan was feeling upset at the moment, and seeing that his cousin didn't treat him well, he pushed him and said coldly, "Go away, take those bugs with you!"

Ji Baian retorted: "What kind of insect is that? It's a silkworm!"

Bai Luochuan said: "Mi Yang is most afraid of these things, why are you stuffing them into his desk hole?"

Ji Baian wanted to retort, but when he heard him say that, he immediately turned back to look at Mi Yang, his eyes shifted from his knees to his face, and frowned, "Are you afraid of silkworms?"

Mi Yang was a little embarrassed and didn't dare to look him in the eye. He was afraid that the matter of the bug had been successfully covered up in his previous life and Bai Luochuan didn't know about it. Who would have thought that everyone would know about it now

Ji Baian was silent for a moment, then apologized to Mi Yang: "I'm sorry."

Mi Yang waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just my own carelessness."

Bai Luochuan said impatiently: "You are still speaking for him!"

Ji Baian's expression was not as ugly as before. He walked over and carefully looked at Mi Yang's wound. After confirming that it was not serious, he wanted to reach out and touch it. His cousin slapped his hand mercilessly and scolded him, "You dare to touch him? Do you want to be beaten?"

Ji Baian withdrew his hand, not caring at all that there was a red spot on the back of his hand.

Mi Yang saw it, but he just looked away and said nothing.

When Aunt Wu found these silkworms in the trash can, she was also shocked. Bai Luochuan then remembered that the culprit had not been cleaned up. Mi Yang was afraid of these soft insects, so Bai Luochuan was naturally annoyed by them. He took a cardboard box and was about to throw it out. Mi Yang stopped him and said, "Take it to our class, give it to the class monitor, and let our class write an observation diary."

Although Bai Luochuan was not happy, he still nodded and agreed, "Okay."

Ji Baian had been watching the silkworms, and he was relieved when he heard Mi Yang say that. He took another box and put the silkworms in it, and also took down a large bag of mulberry leaves. Bai Luochuan was probably afraid that he would do something else, so he didn't let him take them. He wanted to take the silkworms and mulberry leaves away, saying, "Give them to me, I'll take them to the classroom."

After Ji Baian gave it to him, he stared at the paper box for a long time, looking a little worried.

Mi Yang comforted him, "It's okay, our squad leader is a very nice person. I'll ask her to take pictures for you. She will take good care of them." He remembered that Ji Baian had raised similar insects before. He had seen it once. It seemed to be some rare species of spider. Mi Yang was quite afraid of those and didn't look closely, but Ji Baian took care of these small animals regardless of their status and was always gentle.

Ji Baian looked up at him and suddenly said, "I found it for you. You said you wanted to take an observation class, so I found it for you."

Mi Yang shook his head and said, "No, I don't want it."

Ji Baian insisted: "But I found them all for you. I brought them all from so far south."

Mi Yang stood there with a hint of guilt in his eyes.

Ji Baian tilted his head and looked at him with a smile, with a cunning look in his eyes, he said: "Remember, I spent a lot of effort to get it for you. Even if you don't want it, you have to accept this favor, understand?"

Mi Yang: “…”

Ji Baian probably felt relieved after giving away the gift, and asked Mi Yang: "If you don't want this, do you want the katydid? What else are you observing?"

Mi Yang said with a stiff face: "No, I don't need those, I just need to take care of the silkworms."

Bai Luochuan just came back. He had recently become obsessed with an encyclopedia and had read a lot of insects. When he came in, he heard Ji Baian talking to Mi Yang and immediately snorted, "The teacher asked us to observe silkworms, which are insects with complete metamorphosis. Grasshoppers have incomplete metamorphosis. Why are we watching them?"

Ji Baian was very interested: "What is a pervert?"

Bai Luochuan wanted to show off, but seeing that he kept leaning towards Mi Yang, he could not help but push him. The two cousins were already angry. Bai Luochuan felt that he had not yet made amends for Mi Yang's injury, while Ji Baian felt that his cousin had just thrown away the "gift" he had obtained with great difficulty. The two of them pushed each other, and they were on the verge of fighting. Mi Yang, a disabled patient, could only stand in the middle to persuade them to stop fighting.

He had just lost a tooth, so he spoke with a lisp and his pronunciation was inaccurate. He tried to stop the fight for a long time, and he didn't know which of the cousins laughed first. The other one stopped fighting and laughed at Mi Yang. Ji Baian was still asking Mi Yang to say a few more words with a hopeful look on his face. Bai Luochuan didn't stop him this time. He glanced at Mi Yang and laughed.

Mi Yang: “…”

You guys are perverts! Have you ever lost a tooth

At night, Bai Luochuan took care of Mi Yang and got up several times to apply ointment to his wound. Mi Yang tried to persuade him twice, but he couldn't stop him and just let him do whatever he wanted. Master Bai kept applying the ointment several times, and it was a little late. When they went to class the next day, they were both yawning because they were sleepy.

However, the silkworms brought to the class were very popular. The class monitor liked them very much. He changed a clean new paper box for them and placed them on a small table at the back of the classroom as a gift. They became the favorites of the class.

The greatest pleasure for the children in Class One, Grade Three after school every day is to go and see the silkworms. Some brave boys even touch them gently. The girls hide at first, but when they see them munching on mulberry leaves, they can't help but stare at them with their eyes wide open. After all, they are raised by their class, so gradually they don't think they are ugly anymore and are quite proud of them.

The mulberry leaves for the silkworms were obtained from Ji Baian, but most of them were dried mulberry leaves, after all, they were afraid that they would go bad. However, the dried mulberry leaves reduced the silkworms' appetite a lot. Although they still ate, each one of them looked thinner.

Sun Qian managed to get fresh mulberry leaves from his family, and finally got the supply. His popularity in the class soared, and he was a little proud. Sun Qian always took the most donations in the past, and even 50 yuan didn't give him such a great sense of honor. He was like a little hero in the class, and he was very proud.

Except for Mi Yang, everyone in the class slowly moved towards the silkworms to watch.

Mi Yang only dared to watch from a distance, and would run away if he got within ten steps of them.

Sometimes other male classmates would play tricks on him and deliberately push Mi Yang to go see the class pet. Mi Yang's face turned pale with resistance, and he grabbed Bai Luochuan's sleeves very tightly, shaking his head and saying, "No, I can see clearly here, my eyesight is pretty good."

The male students were still making a fuss. After seeing Mi Yang holding him with both hands, Master Bai stood up and said, "Don't let him see it. Do you still want Mi Yang to highlight the key points for you?"

Xiao Pang was the first to let go with a smile, and he also helped to stop them: "Stop messing with Mi Yang, let's all go!"

Tang Xiao took out the four-wheel drive car, and everyone rushed to "compete" with the cars. This cartoon is very popular recently, and many people bought a small four-wheel drive car to compete together. Tang Xiao had the most cars on hand, with five or six small four-wheel drive cars.

Bai Luochuan had already started playing with these when they first came out. His family even built a special four-wheel drive track with a turning length of about five or six meters. Therefore, he was not very interested in these and stayed to help Mi Yang with his observation homework.

Mi Yang wrote two strokes and then began to rub his eyes. Bai Luochuan came closer and asked, "What's wrong with your eyes? Do they hurt?"

Mi Yang shook his head and said, "No, it's just that my left eye keeps twitching. But left eye twitching is a good thing."

Bai Luochuan asked curiously, "What about the right eye? What does it mean when the right eye twitches? Is it bad?"

Mi Yang said seriously: "If the right eye twitches, it is not accurate, so you can't believe it."

Bai Luochuan lay on the desk and laughed for a long time.

Mi Yang's little pseudo-scientific theory did make some sense, and that night he met the person he most wanted to see.

Mi Zehai was discharged from the hospital, and Cheng Qing came back with him. The couple did not go anywhere, and did not even have time to put down their things. They went to Bai's house to pick up their son. Mi Yanggang came back with his schoolbag on his back. When he heard the adults laughing in the living room, his eyes lit up instantly and he ran over there. Sure enough, Mi Zehai and Cheng Qing were sitting on the sofa in the living room with smiles on their faces. When they saw him, they were also surprised.

Cheng Qing waved at him and said, "Yangyang, come here!"

Mi Yang ran over and hugged her and rubbed her twice, then Cheng Qing held her little face and raised her head to look at him, then lowered her head and kissed her, smiling and said, "You've grown a little taller. I haven't seen you for a few days, and you've grown up."

Mi Zehai also tried to hug his son and said with a smile: "He has gained weight too. Sister Luo takes better care of him than we do. We really trouble you."

Mi Yang didn't dare to move. He pushed his father's shoulders and tried to get down, fearing that he would touch the wound on his father's waist and abdomen.

Cheng Qing also scolded Mi Zehai for wasting his strength and warned him, "Be more careful, the wound has just healed."

Mi Zehai was young and strong, and he had plenty of energy. He could usually carry dozens of kilograms on his back for fun, and weighted training was no problem at all. For him, picking up a little kid like Mi Yang was nothing at all. But when his wife said so, he immediately obeyed and restrained himself.

Mrs. Bai was also smiling. She had packed Mi Yang's things. Seeing the child coming back, she nodded and said, "I wanted to keep you for dinner, but seeing that Yang Yang is homesick, you should go back first. In a couple of days, our two families will have dinner together to welcome you."

This time, Mi Zehai didn't hesitate and agreed readily. It seemed that his relationship with the Bai family had improved a lot.

Mi Yang saw it, holding Cheng Qing's hand without asking any more questions, but with a bit of curiosity. His father usually avoided Bai Luochuan's house, fearing that he would cause trouble for himself and his boss, so why did he suddenly figure it out now

After returning home, Cheng Qing discovered that the house had been cleaned and fresh vegetables and meat were placed in the kitchen. While tying her apron, she said with emotion: "It must be Sister Luo who had it prepared. She is thoughtful and really good to us."

Mi Zehai wanted to help, so he rolled up his sleeves and said, "Yes, Brother Bai's family is very nice."

Cheng Qing glanced at him and suddenly smiled, "Why, you don't want to call me Political Commissar anymore?"

Yonezawa sighed and said, "If he hadn't arrived in time and sent me to the hospital for treatment, I'm afraid I wouldn't be here now. I know how to be grateful. No matter what his position is, I will definitely call him Big Brother."
