Hearing this, Huo Xiaoxiao hadn't recovered from the little shock of the homework book Yi Qian gave her, when she heard Lu Jingyi's words, she turned to look at him.
This kid is so innocent.
Teacher Zhao couldn't laugh or cry, "Lu Jingyi, how did you promise the teacher that you didn't write yesterday? Why don't you write every day?"
Lu Jing's eyes widened and he was speechless, "Teacher, how do you know I didn't write it?"
"What doesn't the teacher know? You are lazy again, stand up first, the teacher will talk to you later." After finishing speaking, he looked at Yi Qian, "Yi Qian, it doesn't matter if you forgot to bring it, bring it here tomorrow, but next time you can't be so careless Yes, remember?"
"remember."
Huo Xiaoxiao looked down at the last signature of Yi Qian's homework book—Yi Yang.
"Teacher, I'm sorry, it's not that Yi Qian didn't bring it, but I didn't. I forgot my homework in Dad's car. This homework belongs to Yi Qian, not mine."
Yi Qian was in a hurry, "Xiao Xiao!"
Teacher Zhao took a look at the homework book in front of Huo Xiaoxiao, saw the last signature, and glanced at Yi Qian, but there was nothing to see.
"Yi Qian, the teacher knows that you and Xiaoxiao are good friends, you are worried that Xiaoxiao will be scolded by the teacher for not bringing homework, but if you do it, you do it, if you don't bring it, you don't bring it, how can you lie to the teacher deliberately for the sake of good friends? "
Yi Qian lowered his head in shame, "Teacher, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong."
"Don't do this next time. Good friends should help each other, but you can't lie for each other. This is wrong. You can't do this again next time. Remember?"
"Well, I remember."
Teacher Zhao asked Yi Qian to sit down.
Huo Xiaoxiao was a little uneasy. With the lesson learned from that idiot Lu Jingyi, he didn't know if the teacher would believe her.
"Xiao Xiao, it's okay, I just didn't bring homework, the teacher trusts you, just bring it here tomorrow."
Huo Xiaoxiao looked up, "Really?"
"Of course, sit down."
Huo Xiaoxiao was overjoyed, "Thank you teacher."
Only Lu Jingyi was the only one, that child never changed after repeated admonitions, no matter what guarantees were made that day, there would still be none the next day.
"Teacher, I know I was wrong, and I will definitely teach tomorrow."
"Lu Jingyi, how many times do you think this is the first time? How many times has the teacher said it? Have you heard it?"
Lu Jing thought for a while, then shook his head, "I don't remember."
"So the teacher is going to call your dad."
"Teacher—" Lu Jingyi wailed, "I promise! It won't happen in the future!"
"No, the teacher won't pamper you this time. Sit down now, and the teacher will call your father later."
Teacher Zhao's words were like a knife hanging on Lu Jing's head, which made him sleepy all day, lying on the table, not happy at all.
Xiang Chen and Jiang Yue leaned over, "Lu Jingyi, what's wrong with you?"
Lu Jingyi turned his head in the other direction and lay on his stomach, "You guys are so mean."
"Where we are not enough."
"That's it."
As soon as Lu Jing heard this, he stood up indignantly, "I call you every night, and you all say that you haven't written it yet, but... But isn't it not enough to hand in your homework every day?"
"We didn't write it when you called me."
"Who told you not to write every day?"
Hearing this, Lu Jingyi fell down angrily again.
"But now the teacher wants to call my father. If my mother is not at home these two days, he will definitely beat me up. It's all Yi Qian's fault. It's you who killed me."
Yi Qian retorted: "Stop talking nonsense, how did I hurt you?"
"If you didn't say that you forgot to bring it, I wouldn't say that I forgot to bring it too, and the teacher wouldn't know that I didn't do it."
Huo Xiaoxiao knows that these children are not afraid of anything, but they are afraid that the teacher will call their parents.
"Who told you not to write every day, and you never changed after repeated admonitions."
Only when I am about to die do I know regret, Lu Jing groaned, "As long as I can escape this disaster, I swear, I will study hard in the future and listen to the teacher, and I will definitely not fail to complete my homework!"
"real?"
Lu Jing nodded firmly.
"Actually, it's easy not to let your father beat you up..." Huo Xiaoxiao made a fool of himself.
Lu Jing looked up at Huo Xiaoxiao in surprise, "It's very simple?"
"Want to know?"
"Think about it! You tell me, I'll bring you chocolate tomorrow!"
"I don't want chocolate."
"Then what do you want?"
Huo Xiaoxiao thought for a while, then looked at the little devil in front of him, "Call me sister and I'll tell you."
Hearing this, Lu Jing pursed his lips, "Obviously I am older than you, I have a cousin who is as old as you, she calls me brother, how about this, if you call me brother, I will protect you from now on, no one dares bully you!"
Huo Xiaoxiao snorted coldly, "Forget it if you don't listen."
"Huo Xiaoxiao!"
"Shout it or not? If you don't shout it back, you will be beaten."
"..." Lu Jingyi looked at Yi Qian, stomped his feet, and still chose the latter between being beaten and having no dignity, "Shout, just shout!"
Huo Xiaoxiao tilted his head to listen.
As soon as Lu Jing endured the humiliation, his face turned red, and he choked out after a while: "Miss!"
"?" Huo Xiaoxiao looked at him as if constipated, "...what did you call me?"
"Miss," Lu Jing didn't feel that there was anything wrong at all, and plausibly said, "I have a cousin who calls me Brother Jing, Yi Qian as Brother Qian, Xiang Chen as Brother Chen, Jiang Yue as Brother Yue, aren't you Miss? ?”
"..." This made sense, but she couldn't refute it.
"Okay, I yelled, you tell me what to do."
"No, you have to call me Sister Huo!"
"I've already yelled, Xiao Xiao, don't you count your words?"
"..."
"Speak quickly!"
"..." Don't care about children.
She said: "Do you know why your father beat you? Because you have done wrong things and you have not corrected after repeated admonition. Adults don't like children who lie. As long as you sincerely admit your mistakes to your father and promise not to do it again, he will definitely not I'll beat you up again."
Lu Jing was half convinced, "Really?"
"Of course it's true. You can try it. Adults like children who know their mistakes and correct them. But the premise is that you really know your mistakes. Otherwise, you lied to your father this time. If you do it again next time, he will take it with you." Beat you harder this time."
Lu Jing frowned as if thinking about whether Huo Xiaoxiao's words were feasible.
"Don't worry, I won't lie to you, trust me!"
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Jing glanced across the faces of Yi Qian, Xiangchen and Jiang Yue, and asked if they had any other opinions, but seeing that they all shook their heads, they had to nod.
But having said that, Huo Xiaoxiao also felt that her name was really perfunctory when Lu Jingyi called her like that.
Huo Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao
I didn't think about it before, but now the more I think about it, the more casual I am.
Her grandfather is not such a casual person, it is impossible to give her such a casual name.
Only her father can do this.
It must have been taken by her father casually.
Now she is still young, it's nothing, when she grows up, the name is too imposing.
At the moment, her father, who is missed by Huo Xiaoxiao, is in contact with Yi Yang, who has just returned to China, about the progress of the Luming Mountain project.
The excavation of the ancient tomb at the foot of Luming Mountain was smoother than expected. After the archaeological team entered the ancient tomb, they found that the ancient tomb had been completely destroyed by long years of erosion, and basically lost its archaeological value.
Although the professor of the archaeological expert group felt very sorry, there was nothing he could do.
Therefore, the Luming Mountain project will start again in the near future.
"I conservatively estimate that the project will start again in one month, and optimistically estimate that it will not take too long in half a month."
"Based on an optimistic estimate, the work that has been suspended must be resumed within three days, all..."
The phone rang.
Huo Suicheng glanced at it. It was the teacher of Huo Xiaoxiao Kindergarten. He gestured to Yi Yang to stand up and answer the phone.
"Hello, is this Huo Xiaoxiao's parent? I'm Xiaoxiao's teacher, and my surname is Zhao."
Huo Suicheng frowned slightly, "Mr. Zhao, hello, what can I do?"
"It's like this. Xiaoxiao left her homework on your car yesterday. Is there such a thing?"
Huo Suicheng thought of sending Huo Xiaohour's signature to her as soon as possible.
"There is indeed such a thing. It should be that I forgot to put it in her schoolbag."
"So that's the case, then I understand. I'm sorry, Mr. Huo, to bother you."
"It's okay," Huo Suicheng thought for a while, "Mr. Zhao, I would like to ask, you shouldn't have misunderstood Xiaoxiao in this matter, right?"
"No, I still believe in Xiaoxiao, but because it is related to another kid, I'm here to ask you."
"That's good."
Hang up the phone after a few sentences.
Yi Yang listened to the general idea on the side, and asked: "The teacher called you on the first day your daughter just transferred to the middle class? What's the matter?"
Huo Suicheng looked up at him, "Take her to kindergarten in the morning, and left her homework in my car."
"That's it?" Yi Yang shook his head, "Fortunately, that kid Yi Qian was obedient and didn't make trouble for me."
As soon as he finished speaking, his phone vibrated.
After taking a look, his eyebrows frowned for a moment, he glanced at Huo Suicheng, got up and walked to the French window and said a few words.
After a while, he hung up the phone and walked over.
Huo Suicheng looked at him, "Teacher Zhao?"
Yi Yang remembered what Mr. Zhao said on the phone just now, and smiled, "Your daughter didn't bring homework, my son gave his homework to your daughter, and he lied that he didn't bring homework."
"Is this what you said about your son worrying?"
"Isn't that for your daughter?"
Huo Suicheng was dumbfounded for a moment, "Let's not talk about this, let's talk about the project... Where did we talk just now?"
—
Huo Xiaoxiao was picked up from the kindergarten by Aunt Zhao, and she was obviously absent-minded along the way.
When Aunt Zhao came to pick up Huo Xiaoxiao, Mr. Huo told her that the matter of Huo Xiaoxiao's mother was mentioned yesterday. Xiaoxiao would probably think about it and ask her to pay attention.
Seeing Huo Xiaoxiao's sullen look now, he smiled and said, "Xiaoxiao, what's the matter? Are you unhappy in kindergarten today?"
"No."
"Then why does Xiao Xiao look unhappy?"
Huo Xiaoxiao thought for a while and asked her, "Auntie, why am I called Huo Xiaoxiao?"
Aunt Zhao was startled for a moment, then turned to smile and said, "Why do Xiao Xiao ask such a question?"
"I just want to know who named me."
Aunt Zhao's memory was vague, and she was not very clear, "This... I don't remember too much, it should be taken by the husband."
As expected, her father took it!
She knew that her grandfather had so many collections of ancient paintings and books hanging in his study room, so it was obvious that he was a man of culture.
Only her father would choose such a bad name!
At the dinner table in the evening, Huo Xiaoxiao stared at her father while picking up the food.
Huo Suicheng took two bites and looked up at Huo Xiaoxiaoyin staring at him sideways, and staring at him after two bites.
"Huo Xiaoxiao, why are you staring at me without eating?"
"Dad, did I leave my homework in your car today?"
"Yes, I left it in my car. I'll give it to you later. Let's eat first."
Huo Xiaoxiao took a few bites, looked up and stared at him again.
"Dad, did you choose my name?"
Mr. Huo and Huo Suicheng stopped for a while.
"Why do you ask this suddenly?"
Huo Xiaoxiao's face was full of unhappiness, "Yi Qian, Xiang Chen, Lu Jingyi, and Jiang Yue, as soon as I heard it, I knew that their names were chosen by my parents seriously. Mine, Huo Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao , I just took it casually as soon as I heard it, Dad, tell me, did you take it?"
Huo Suicheng remembered that when he brought Huo Xiaoxiao from Yipin Lanting to the Huo mansion, Mr. Huo asked him what the child's name was, and he really chose a name casually, "Huo Xiaoxiao."
"It was taken by Dad, but how can you say that Dad took it casually?"
"Then tell me, what does my name mean?" Huo Xiaoxiao looked at her father with an expression of "you make it up, whatever you want to make it up".
Huo Suicheng looked at Mr. Huo.
Mr. Huo stared back at him and told him with his eyes, "Don't look at me, I don't know how to make it up".
"Xiao Xiao, it's been several years, Dad doesn't remember."
"How could I not remember." Huo Xiaoxiao poked the rice, "Dad must have given me the name casually, Xiaoxiao, what does that mean?"
Old Mr. Huo sighed, and smiled at Huo Xiaoxiao: "Xiao Xiao, your name is just a code name for a person. No matter what your name is, you are grandpa's good granddaughter."
"Then I want to be a meaningful granddaughter."
"What is a meaningful granddaughter?"
"I want to change my name, I want my grandpa and dad to give me a meaningful name."
"A meaningful name..." Mr. Huo thought deeply.
Indeed, the name Huo Xiaoxiao is indeed too casual.
Thinking of this, the old gentleman gave Huo Suicheng another hard look.
"Eat first, grandpa will think of a meaningful name for you tonight, okay?"
"it is good!"
Huo Xiaoxiao didn't think that her father would disagree with her proposal to change her name. After all, her father probably felt guilty about the random name.
I just don't know what name grandpa will name her.
Huo Xiaoxiao was inexplicably looking forward to it.
The next day, Huo Suicheng sent her to the kindergarten. Before getting off the car, Huo Xiaoxiao checked the schoolbag again and again to make sure everything was there before getting off the car.
Zhouzhou was waiting for her at the door of the classroom early in the morning, holding the chocolate Sehuo Xiaoxiao he brought.
"Xiao Xiao, I brought this for you."
"Zhouzhou, thank you, hey, this is the candy I brought you, you should go back quickly, otherwise those devil kings will bully you again when they come."
Hearing Huo Xiaoxiao's words, Zhou Zhou was obviously defending him, grinned happily, and ran away with a smile.
Not long after entering the classroom with chocolates, Yi Qian and those demon kings came.
Lu Jingyi, who was sleepy yesterday, was beaming with joy today. As soon as he entered the classroom, he ran to Huo Xiaoxiao, "Little Xiao, you are amazing! My father really didn't beat me up!"
"So have you finished your homework?"
"finished!"
He showed Huo Xiaoxiao his homework, "I also brought you delicious chocolate, which is much more delicious than that Zhouzhou's!"
Yi Qian also handed Huo Xiaoxiao the chocolate he brought from home, "I brought you this."
Huo Xiaoxiao collected a schoolbag full of chocolates, and distributed the candy he brought from home to Yi Qian and the others.
Life in the middle class is quite interesting. Most of the courses combine learning and games, so that children can learn common sense of life and etiquette habits in games.
Compared with the small class, you need to use your brain more, although you don't use your brain much.
In the afternoon, Teacher Zhao came again.
"Kids, the teacher wants to ask you today, do you know who took your name?"
The classroom exploded into a pot of porridge, some said they were taken by their father, and some said they were taken by their mother.
"Then do you know what your name means?"
Huo Xiaoxiao, who was named casually by Huo Suicheng without any meaning, seemed to have a needle in his chest.
"I don't know. It's okay. After you go home today, ask your parents and let them tell you what your names mean, okay?"
"it is good!"
"Then today, the teacher will teach everyone to write their own names. Everyone takes out the pens and paper, and the teacher will teach them one by one."
There are not many students in the class, twelve, one teacher is more than enough.
Teacher Zhao taught them one by one, and when it was Huo Xiaoxiao's turn, she had already written her own name crookedly on the paper: Xiaoxiao.
"The small and small letters are awesome! Don't you know how to write Huo characters? Come, the teacher will teach you."
The character "Xiaoxiao" is really simple for children, but the character "Huo" is complicated. When Huo Xiaoxiao is written on the paper, the handwriting would like to occupy the entire paper.
"Okay, just follow what the teacher just taught, write slowly, don't worry."
"Thank you, teacher."
The word Xiaoxiao is simple, but the word Huo is a bit laborious.
Huo Xiaoxiao followed the teacher's handwriting stroke by stroke, twisted and twisted, and finally wrote a ball that could barely be regarded as a "Huo" character.
After finishing writing, I can't help but feel a little lucky that the name is not difficult to write, otherwise I have to write it off!
After Teacher Zhao finished teaching her, he went to teach Lu Jingyi again, making him howl to the sky.
"Why does my name have three characters, while Yi Qian, Xiangchen and Jiang Yue only have two characters..."
"Lu Jingyi, don't cry, look how easy and simple your name is to write, don't be lazy."
Lu Jingyi also enjoyed the howling process, did not shed a tear, pretended to sob twice, and continued to draw his "ghost painting talisman" with difficulty.
After Mr. Zhao taught all the children to write their own names, the whole classroom was filled with the cries of children raising their heads and shouting "It's too difficult".
Yi Qian leaned over, "Xiao Xiao, can you write your name?"
"Yes," Huo Xiaoxiao showed him his name, "Look, it's simple!"
"Then can you teach me to write your name?"
"Of course you can."
Huo Xiaoxiao taught Yi Qian to write his name stroke by stroke.
Yi Qian's handwriting is better than theirs, and the three characters "Huo Xiaoxiao" are also neater than hers.
"Wow, Xiaoxiao, your name is so easy to write."
As soon as Lu Jing heard what Xiang Chen said, she leaned over to have a look, raised her head and cried again, "Why is my name so difficult to write, I want to change it! I want to change it to... Lu Yiyi!"
"Children, I will give you another task today. Show your parents the names you wrote, and practice a few more times at home. Tomorrow, the teacher will select the three best children, okay?"
The children were so tormented by the names that they all reluctantly responded: "...Okay."
—
When returning home in the afternoon, Huo Xiaoxiao excitedly showed Aunt Zhao the name she had learned so hard, "Auntie, look, the teacher taught me to write my own name today."
Aunt Zhao glanced at it. Although the word "Huo Xiaoxiao" was written crookedly, it was not easy for a child to write it like this.
"Little is awesome! I'll go home later and show it to the old man, he will be very happy!"
"Ok!"
Huo Xiaoxiao held the homework book full of his name all the way. As soon as the car turned into the Huo mansion, he got off the car impatiently, ran into the living room, and showed the homework book to his grandfather.
"Grandpa, Grandpa! I'll show you the name I wrote!"
Mr. Huo took her homework book with a smile, looked at the homework book filled with Huo Xiaoxiao's name, and praised her: "This is written in small and small letters? It's really well written!"
"The teacher taught me, I will write it twice later, it will be better written!"
"Exactly, Xiaoxiao, didn't you say yesterday that the name 'Huo Xiaoxiao' was too easy and casual for your father to give you? After a night of serious thinking, Grandpa gave you a name. Listen to see if you like it. "
"Pingting, Huo Pingting. This Pingting refers to a beautiful girl like Xiaoxiao. How about it? Do you like the name your grandfather gave you?"
"..."
"Come on, grandpa will teach you how to write."
"..."
