Chapter 3180 The Clever and Brave Miss Xiwa~
The light in the principal's office was softer than in the classroom. Aunt Huang was tidying up a stack of registration forms when she saw Xiaobai and Xiaomi enter. She quickly put down her pen, took two enamel cups with ducks printed on them from the cabinet, poured them warm water, and handed them over.
"Did you have fun chatting with the new kids today? Were there any little ones who don't like to talk much?"
She knew about Xiaobai and Xiaomi's work; they had reported to her beforehand.
She naturally agreed wholeheartedly. Putting aside the fact that this matter is very meaningful, it is necessary to encourage Xiaobai and Xiaomi to do it simply from the perspective of cultivating their sense of responsibility and work ability.
Seeing them arrive at the office, and noticing the time (it was already 9:30 PM), I guessed they had finished their work for the night and were here to report their results.
Aunt Huang was very interested and wanted to hear about their work tonight.
Xiao Mi clutched the blue notebook, her fingertips lightly picking at the edge of the pages, and said, "Most kids love to talk! But there's this little girl named Duo Duo who speaks very softly, sometimes like a mosquito. When we're building blocks, she always hides in the corner. When I ask her if she wants to play with me, she shrinks even further behind the pile of blocks."
Xiaobai also said, "She always carries a teddy bear, saying it was a gift from her mother. Last night, Xiaoweiwei told me that she secretly shed tears because she missed home and her mother. We'd like Robin to play with her; Robin is so boisterous, maybe he can liven up Duoduo!"
Aunt Huang thought for a moment and remembered that there was a little girl named Duoduo. She was indeed a bit timid and shy, but it's not surprising that children of this age would be afraid for a while when they come to a strange environment. They would get better once they adapted.
"Yes, Robin and Duoduo can become friends. You shouldn't interfere too much, lest it backfire."
Xiaobai and Xiaomi nodded.
Xiaomi continued flipping through the notebook, and when she saw the name "Yueyue," she introduced her to Aunt Huang.
"Yueyue's family is facing some difficulties."
“I remember Yueyue,” Aunt Huang thought to herself. “Last week her mother brought her here, and the coat she was wearing was all faded from washing. She said there was a sick little brother at home, and no one usually brought her here. It’s good that you want to help her, but don’t let her feel like she’s different from others, okay?”
Xiaomi nodded quickly: "We know! I plan to check if she has enough pencils and if she's out of erasers first, and then I'll tell Aunt Huang!"
She drew a small heart next to it with colored pens: "That way we won't forget!"
The work report was in progress when the office door creaked open a crack, and Robin's little head peeked in, his face flushed and a little anxious: "Auntie! I can't find Liuliu! She disappeared like a chicken! But I clearly heard her voice!"
What Robin found most infuriating was that he clearly heard Liuliu's voice, but when he followed the sound, he couldn't find anything.
She has mobilized Leonardo DiCaprio and others to help search, even opening the toilet lid to check inside.
Xiaobai got up, Xiao Mi closed the laptop and hugged it to her chest, waved to Aunt Huang, and took Robin's little hand and went downstairs.
At 10:30 p.m., half of the children at Little Red Horse Night School had already left, and the rest were being picked up by their parents.
Xiaomi, Liuliu, and the others have all gone home, and Little Red Horse Academy is much quieter now.
In the toy area of the classroom, a few warm yellow lights were on. Four-year-old An'an sat on the carpet, her little body curled up in a ball, clutching a scarf with a little train printed on it tightly in her arms. She was crying so hard that her shoulders were shaking, and her tears had soaked a large part of the scarf.
Teacher Xiaoliu tried to comfort him, but to little avail; no amount of coaxing could soothe him.
"Hey kid~~ Hmm, little one, be good. Your mom must be stuck in traffic. She'll be here to pick you up soon."
Xiao Bai squatted in front of him, holding a dinosaur doll in her hand, trying to hand it to him, but An An just buried her head even lower, and her crying did not lessen at all.
Xiaobai has always disliked crying children. She doesn't like to cry herself, nor does she like other children to cry.
"I want my mom... Waaah... Why isn't mommy here yet..."
Robin also came over, trying to use his age advantage to befriend An An.
"An'an, let's play with building blocks! Let's build a big train station so your mom can come out of the station when she arrives!"
But An'an wouldn't listen to her and kept crying, repeatedly saying "I want my mommy," her little face turning red from crying and her eyes swelling up like little walnuts.
Just as the group was at their wits' end, Xi'er came running over. She hadn't left yet tonight.
"Xiaobai, let me give it a try."
When Xiaobai saw her, she quickly made way and said expectantly, "Come here, come here, our clever and brave Xiwawa Miss~"
Although it's hard to admit, Xiwawa is indeed more popular and liked by the children at Little Red Horse Academy.
Perhaps in their eyes, Xiaobai is like an older sister, while Xier is like a close older sister, someone they can confide in and be friends with, and someone who is more approachable.
In terms of approachability, Xi'er is far superior to Xiaobai and the others.
Xi'er walked over to An'an, and instead of handing her a toy like Xiaobai did, she slowly squatted down, gently touched the scarf in An'an's arms, and whispered, "An'an, did Mommy knit this scarf for you? The little train on it is so cute."
An'an paused in her crying, then raised her tear-streaked face and sobbed, "It...it was knitted by Mom...Mom said...wearing it will keep me warm..."
Xi'er nodded, gently pressed her ear to the scarf, squinted and listened for a while, then said to An'an with a serious expression, "I heard it! I can hear Mommy's voice in the scarf!"
An'an froze, her crying almost stopped abruptly, and she looked at Xi'er with wet eyes: "Re...really?"
“Of course!” Xi’er held the scarf close to An’an’s ear. “Listen, Mommy said, ‘An’an, be good. Mommy is crossing the last traffic light. We’ll be at the school gate soon. An’an, be good and wait patiently. Don’t cry anymore. Mommy brought some sweet strawberry cakes.’”
An'an quickly pressed his ears to his scarf, his little body remaining motionless. After a while, he raised his head, tears still on his face, but a small smile appeared on his face: "I...I heard it too! Mom said there's a little cake to eat!"
Robin looked at Sister Xi'er, then at An'an, and finally stared at the little train scarf. His eyes lit up. There was such a magical scarf?
She wants it too!!!
She wanted to take it and listen to see if she could really hear her mother's voice!
Xi'er took out a small note and a colored pen from her pocket and handed them to An'an: "Let's draw a smiley face for Mom. When Mom comes, she'll know that An'an was very good just now when she sees the smiley face."
An'an held the colored pencils tightly, and although her little hands were still trembling a little, she still carefully drew a crooked smiley face on the paper.
Teacher Xiaobai and Teacher Xiaoliu stood aside, watching in surprise as An'an, who had been crying so hard just moments before, actually stopped crying and was now focused on drawing with her head down, occasionally wiping away the remaining tears with her sleeve.
Xi'er sat next to An'an, drawing with him, and whispered, "I used to cry and look for my mother all the time. I would put my little skirt to my ear and listen to my mother's voice, and then I would stop crying."
Robin stood beside his aunt, his eyes gleaming, listening intently. Regardless of whether An'an believed Xi'er's words or not, Robin definitely did!
At this moment, she really wanted one of those little dresses that Xi'er had mentioned!
An'an finally stopped crying and was taken away by Teacher Xiaoliu.
Xiao Bai couldn't help but sidle up to Xi'er, saying with admiration, "Xi'er, you're amazing! We couldn't soothe him, not even Teacher Liu could, but he stopped crying as soon as you came over!"
Xi'er laughed and said, "Because I know that when I miss my mother, hearing news about her will put my mind at ease."
Robin, completely bewildered, asked in bewilderment, "Why wouldn't I know how???"
