When he went to school the next day, Chen Xiaopang stared at Zhao Ying as soon as he got in the car.
"Didn't I wash my face clean?" Zhao Ying touched her face, and the thick bangs on her forehead swayed.
Chen Xiaopang sat down and asked in a particularly reluctant tone: "Are you a fast runner?"
"Running?" Zhao Ying didn't know why he asked this properly, so she confirmed and said, "It's okay."
To Chen Xiaopang, it just meant something bad.
That’s right when I think about it! Even though she ran fast, she was only five years old, how could she outrun them who were eight years old? Feng Meixin actually wanted Zhao Ying to take the lead. Did she want to tire her to death
Chen Xiaopang struggled with this problem all the way and was restless. Zhao Ying thought silently, does he want to compete with me but is too embarrassed to say it? So when she got off the bus, Zhao Ying took the initiative to speak.
"Do you want to run a race against me?"
Chen Xiaopang’s eyes lit up, yes! He can compete with Zhao Ying in advance, and when she is tired from running, she won't have to lead the race.
"Yes!" He shouted loudly, "We have a running competition in the last physical education class, don't worry! I will run slower and let you go."
Zhao Ying nodded vigorously: "Well, I will tell Uncle Chen that you care about your classmates."
Chen Xiaopang: "..."
So as soon as the physical education teacher walked into the playground today, he saw a little fat man rushing out.
"Teacher! I want to compete with Zhao Ying in running."
The physical education teacher was about 1.8 meters tall, with a sturdy back, and was stunned on the spot.
"Who is Zhao Ying?"
A younger classmate ran out: "Teacher, I am Zhao Ying!"
"Are you from Class 26??" The physical education teacher looked at the child who was just over his knees and was stunned. "Are you the child of someone else's teacher?"
Feng Meixin raised her hand: "Teacher, she is new to our class. She is only five years old."
"Ah, that's right!" The physical education teacher remembered. The principal mentioned this matter in a meeting a few days ago. Because the children are young, good at studying and smart, he specially asked every teacher to pay attention when encountering children with difficulties in school. Be proactive in helping.
The physical education teacher was a young man who had just been assigned from the school. Now he looked at Chen Xiaopang in a different way. All subjects at Kaiser are taught by one teacher, and all physical education teachers recognize Chen Xiaopang.
"Classmate Chen Jinjin, you are a boy, it is not appropriate to ask to compete with girls." In fact, he wanted to say, is it embarrassing for an eight-year-old boy to bully a little girl in kindergarten
"Although Zhao Ying is your classmate, she is still young, so you can't bully her."
Chen Xiaopang was shocked, he... why did he bully her? He is helping her!
"Okay, let's run half a circle around the playground for exercise, and then learn to skip rope today." The physical education teacher didn't have time to look at Chen Xiaopang's aggrieved face and asked the students to line up.
At this time, Feng Meixin raised her hand again.
"Teacher, the sports committee member is not feeling well today. Zhao Ying should run quickly and let her take the lead!"
The sports committee member's face turned red. He wanted to say that he was fine, but several female classmates behind him were pinching him...
"Yeah?"
The physical education teacher glanced at him and saw that his expression was indeed different from usual. He thought for a while and said: "Zhao Ying is younger than you, how can he lead the way? Let's do this! Classmate Chen Jinjin, didn't you just want to run? Then today Let you lead the way!"
Chen Xiaopang: Who am I? where am I
"Classmate Chen Jinjin?" the physical education teacher called again.
Chen Xiaopang stood in front of the team with a sad face, and with a whistle, he raised his chubby legs and ran away. He started to pant after not running a few meters. Kang Liyang caught up with him and gave him a hand.
"Come on, little fat guy! The leader is not the first person to be left to clean the playground."
Huh huh huh... huh huh...
Chen Xiaopang was so exhausted that he gritted his teeth and kept running as hard as he could, and finally... became the last one in the class.
"Why do I think you ran so fast today?" Several male students were sitting on the edge of the playground drinking water. Chen Xiaopang came over slowly and asked, "You are definitely faster than usual!"
Kang Liyang wiped his sweat: "Because Zhao Ying runs very fast!"
"What?" Chen Xiaopang almost choked, "She runs fast? How fast?"
Another classmate secretly stuffed a piece of candy into his mouth: "Uh-huh... It's almost here. We're in first place. We're all running after her. I'm so tired."
"...She really ran first? Did she run very fast?" Chen Xiaopang couldn't believe it even to death.
Kang Liyang said dejectedly: "Didn't you hear what the teacher said just now? We are not as fast as kindergarten children."
Zhao Ying found that Chen Xiaopang had been acting strangely all afternoon. He would look at her secretly when nothing happened, stare at her when he was discovered, and ignore her on the way home from school.
"The teacher called me today!" During dinner, Wang Cailian's eyebrows were beaming. God knows how painful it is to have an unlucky son. Every time the teacher called, it was to complain! I was actually praised today! praise!
Although it was Zhao Ying who was praised...
But Zhao Ying lives in her house now, so she is their child after all!
"Your teacher said that Xiaoying is good at studying and running fast. Even her English pronunciation is very standard. Thank you for sending such an outstanding student to your school!"
Wang Cailian said happily, while giving Zhao Ying a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs.
"That's awesome!" Chen Qing slapped the table, and then roared, "Chen Jinjin! You should learn from Xiaoying, you will eat so much food in one day for nothing. You can't even outrun a girl in running, and she is still younger than you."
Chen Xiaopang looked at Zhao Ying with an even more ferocious look. When Chen Qing found out, he slapped him on the head: "What are you doing?"
"Uncle!" Zhao Ying was about to cry when she saw Fatty Chen, and said hurriedly, "Little Fatty... Little Fatty is so good. He protects me from being bullied at school. He is so good!"
Chen Xiaopang was stunned and looked at Zhao Ying blankly.
Wang Cailian knew her son too well and looked at him sideways: "Really? Are you trying to scare Xiaoying into saying good things about you?"
"..." Chen Xiaopang cried out, "I... How could I? I... I helped her today because I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to run fast, but she... she... wow wow..."
Chen Qing snapped again: "Why are men crying? Just like a girl."
"Ahem!" Wang Cailian's eyes flew at him.
"I mean he cries like a little girl..." After Chen Qing finished speaking, he glanced at Zhao Ying, maybe thinking something was wrong, and said, "How can a boy look like a little girl? It's normal for a little girl to cry. And beautiful.”
Fatty Chen, who was whimpering and crying like a little girl next to him:...
"He is really good!" Zhao Ying said again, "He is a good classmate."
Chen Qing and his wife felt that Zhao Ying would not lie, so they were very satisfied. Chen Qing gave Chen Xiaopang more pocket money. Chen Xiaopang burst into tears and laughed. Just when he was about to challenge Zhao Ying, he saw him taking out red tickets that were twice as much as before.
Chen Xiaopang:o(▼伶▼メ;)o
"Uncle, I can't take it." Zhao Ying whispered, pushing the money back.
Wang Cailian rolled it up and put it into the little girl's hand with a smile: "Take it! This is our family's rule. If you perform well, you will be rewarded with pocket money, and if you perform poorly, you will be beaten."
"She's not from our family..." Before the child could say the next two words, Chen Xiaopang was covered by his father again.
Chen Qing roughly hooked his neck and dragged him away.
"Come on, come on! I'm going to check your homework."
Wang Cailian ignored the father and son and hugged Zhao Ying. The little one was so cute in her arms.
but…
"Xiaoying, my aunt will take you to the streets tomorrow weekend!"
Zhao Ying blinked: "Thank you, aunt! But Xiaoying has nothing to buy."
"Hey! There's so much I can buy." Wang Cailian touched her thick hair, "The first thing I need to do is cut your hair!"
Chen Qing said a few days ago that Cong Fei had not been doing well in the past two years. Zhao Ying's father had cancer and had been dragging his feet for three or four years.
"It cost a lot of money, and even the house was sold." Zhao Qing took a puff of cigarette and sighed, "Why do you think she is so strong? Why won't she contact us? We can help her."
"No wonder she agreed to Zhao Ying's stay at our house this time. She probably really had no choice." Wang Cailian also sighed, "By the way, when she left, she said she would give me 5,000 yuan a month, and I would save it for her later. .”
"There is still schooling." Wang Cailian reminded her husband, "Don't let it slip. I lied to her that Xiaoying was smart and had good grades, so the school exempted her tuition and so on."
Caesar does have this kind of thing, and it doesn’t take high school students to enjoy it.
"Don't worry! I know."
On weekends, Fatty Chen slept until about ten o'clock and went downstairs to find food. He saw his father playing Landlords on his mobile phone in the living room.
"Where's mom, dad?" He didn't ask that ugly girl, she even had more pocket money than he did, hum!
Chen Qing didn't even raise his head: "I went out to the street with Xiaoying. Let's order takeout for lunch."
The Chen family has no chef, only a cleaning lady. Because Wang Cailian is a good cook, Chen Qing is used to her cooking, but others are not used to it.
"Then what should I eat now?" Chen Xiaopang went to the kitchen and found that there was only milk.
"Either you are hungry or you eat fruit." Chen Qing glanced at him, "Who told you not to get up in the morning? Your mother made pancakes in the morning."
"Where's the pancake?" Chen Xiaopang asked.
"Oh, I just felt hungry and ate the remaining two."
Chen Xiaopang:…
"Dad, when my grandparents come over during the summer vacation, I want to complain." Chen Xiaopang sat on the sofa opposite with an aggrieved look, "I want to tell them that you keep beating me and don't give me food."
Chen Qing defeated the landlord in a one-two match. He put down his cell phone and laughed at his son: "You are so cowardly! You dare to threaten me."
Fatty Chen pursed his lips and remained silent.
"Look at your potential!" Chen Qing exclaimed, "I originally wanted to order you a lobster set meal for lunch, but in this case I'll forget it. I can eat two kilograms of sauerkraut and meat dumplings."
"Dad! Dad! You are the best dad in the world. I won't sue you anymore. I won't sue you anymore!"
Wang Cailian didn't come back until evening, carrying large and small bags in her hands. Even the driver was carrying a bunch of bags.
Chen Xiaopang was about to ask if he had bought him a gift when he saw a little girl walking out from behind Wang Cailian.
The little girl was wearing a pink sweater and skirt, with a little bunny hairpin in her soft-looking short hair. Her eyes were round and big, and she was looking at him with watery eyes.
"Dad! Dad, come here quickly! My mother is back to pick up the little kid again!"
