Chapter 3103 The Season of Parting
"Uncle Li sold 32 boxes of apples in 4 days, so how many boxes can he sell in July?"
"July has 31 days. If we sell 8 boxes a day, that's 248 boxes."
"What? 3, 31 days?"
"Isn't July 31 days? Liuli, did you miscalculate? No way, no way? You don't even know how many days are in July??"
"How is that possible! I also counted 31 days! I also have 248 boxes."
The school bell rang, and the three members of the Xiaobai trio immediately gathered together. It was mainly Xiaobai and Liuliu who were comparing answers, while Xiao Mi was the standard answer.
After hearing this, Liu Liu felt a chill run down her spine.
Uncle Li sold apples based on a 30-day period!
Ugh! I'm so frustrated! I should have just calculated it as 31 days!
What a blunder! We should have invited the Buddha to intervene.
The three returned to the classroom. All the students who had finished their exams were back, and everyone was happy and excited. Winter break was just around the corner, and they were so excited!
Teacher Wu Mei arrived quickly and first asked the class monitor if all the students had arrived.
Xiaobai had no idea whether everyone had arrived; she hadn't counted the number of people.
Just as she was checking, Liuliu said loudly, "Xiaobai doesn't know either, she didn't have time to count people, but Teacher Wu Mei, I counted, except for Xie Xiaoxu and Wu Qianqian who haven't arrived yet, everyone else has arrived."
Teacher Wu Mei nodded and said, "Okay, then let's wait for Xie Xiaoxu and Wu Qianqian. They might have gone to the restroom. By the way, how did everyone do on the test? Liuliu, how about you? You look radiant, you must have done very well."
Liu Liu laughed loudly, "Didn't I just win Best Actress? I'm in a great mood!!"
This is a classic case of answering a different question. She was actually feeling guilty about showing off her good grades, so she brought up her recent achievements to show off, even though it was already common knowledge throughout the school. Even passing dogs would bark at her and call her the best actress!
Xiao Bai then said, "During the math exam, Liu Liu counted July as 30 days."
As soon as he finished speaking, the classroom erupted in laughter.
Liuliu was furious and embarrassed, wishing she could eat Xiaohuahua on the spot.
Xiao Bai ignores her; the two are locked in a love-hate relationship, digging pits for each other and burying each other in the process.
When Xie Xiaoxu and Wu Qianqian arrived, Teacher Wu Mei began to give instructions about the holiday, such as that safety education and publicity should not be neglected and must be carried out effectively, and that they should not play by the water, play on the road, or touch electricity, etc.
"Everyone needs to come to school again at 9 a.m. the day after tomorrow. The exam results are out, and the certificates will be given to you," Teacher Wu Mei said at the end.
As soon as she finished speaking, the classroom erupted in cheers. Xie Xiaoxu stood on a stool and started singing. A ukulele had appeared in her hand at some point, and she was playing and singing along, having a blast.
Teacher Wu Mei watched all this with a smile, without saying a word to stop them, letting them play as they pleased.
She left the classroom; the students were on holiday, but they weren't. They immediately had to get to work grading the exam papers.
After making a ruckus in the classroom for a while, everyone was still reluctant to leave and prepared to go home.
Liuliu suggested to Xiaobai and Xiaomi that they go to the principal to say goodbye.
Xiaomi said, "The principal must be very busy, so there's no need to go."
Liuliu said, "Yes, yes, it's polite. We won't see him again until next year, Xiaobai, what do you think?"
Xiao Bai nodded: "I think we should go, it's very close anyway."
The two men exchanged a glance, their eyes conveying a cryptic meaning that was obvious to everyone except for Xiaomi, an outsider who couldn't understand their scheme.
Unfortunately, they couldn't find the principal in his office; he wasn't there.
It's also possible that the principal guessed they would come looking for him after the exam, so he hid in advance.
Undeterred, Liuliu called the principal directly.
The principal said he wasn't at school and said goodbye to Liuliu and the others over the phone.
……
It was evening at Little Red Pony Academy.
When Xiaozhou arrived at Little Red Horse Academy with Xiaonian, Xiaomeng, and Xiaosongqin, they hadn't even entered yet when they heard a familiar singing voice.
"The ducks of West Lake~~~ Ah~~~ My tearful ducks—"
Xiao Meng exclaimed in surprise, "Oh no, it's Liu Liu singing!"
Xiao Songqin said, "Her final exams ended today."
Xiao Zhou asked, "Didn't Liu Liu learn to sing from Shi Bao Bao's mother? Why is her singing still like this?"
Xiao Meng just smiled and didn't say anything. Did you even need to ask? It just means Liu Liu isn't cut out for singing.
Old Li let them into the academy and saw Liu Liu singing in the yard with a microphone. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her, making her look like a sunset singer.
It wasn't Dudu who helped drag the portable karaoke machine, but Robin.
Old Li didn't sit in the yard either; he hid in the guard post, but his tea set and other belongings were still outside.
Even the parrot, at its insistence, was taken back to the guard post by Old Li.
"Haha, you're here! What song would you like to hear on Little New Year's Eve? I'll sing it for you."
Liuliu was in high spirits tonight. The heavy burden of studying that had been weighing on her shoulders was finally lifted, and she felt like she had come back to life.
Xiao Nian waved her hand and said, "Liu Liu, I like listening to whatever you sing."
Liuliu exclaimed in surprise, "You also enjoy listening to me sing?"
The young man was kind-hearted, so what could he say? He could only nod and agree.
Liuliu was overjoyed.
Just then, Xiaobai's voice came from afar: "Robin—what are you living there for??? Hurry up and come home for dinner!!!"
Upon hearing this, Robin felt as if he had been granted a pardon and immediately abandoned the portable karaoke machine and ran away.
Liu Liu had no choice but to call Xiao Zhou to help her push and pull.
Xiao Zhou said with difficulty, "Liu Liu, you should find someone else. I have trouble walking by myself, so I can't help you push or pull the karaoke machine."
"You can do it, Xiaozhou. You have to believe in yourself. In my eyes, you're just like us, no different. If I had to say what the difference is, it's that you're a little handsome."
These words shocked not only Xiaozhou herself, but also Xiaonian, Xiaomeng, and Xiaosongqin.
Xiao Zhou's face flushed red the next moment. For the first time in his life, someone had associated him with the word "handsome"!
"Me, me, me~~~"
Xiao Zhou was incoherent and easily manipulated by Liu Liu, who then helped Liu Liu push and pull the karaoke machine.
"Liuliu, how did your exam go?"
Dudu is here, and the girls are most concerned about her studies.
Liu Liu waved her hand, indicating she didn't want to answer the question. Couldn't they talk about something more cheerful?!
At Little Red Horse Academy, all the kids came. Because it was deep winter and the weather was cold outside at night, everyone stayed in the classroom, making it lively and fun.
Whether the children are in kindergarten or primary school, they are all on holiday. Everyone is in high spirits, immersed in the joy of the holiday and the upcoming Spring Festival, and looking forward to a lively and festive New Year.
"Little Li, are you staying in Pujiang for winter break, or going back to your hometown?"
"Little Weiwei, what about you? Where is your hometown?"
"Little Youyou, what are you doing running around like that? Are you going home?"
……
Xiaobai and Xiaomi are compiling winter vacation plans for the kids. School is out for break, and many children will be leaving Little Red Horse. Some may come back after the Spring Festival next year, but it's more likely they won't.
It's that time of year again when we say goodbye, and there's a faint sadness in the air.
Upon hearing Xiao Weiwei say that she was going back to her hometown in a few days, Xiao Bai couldn't help but ask her if she would come back after the New Year.
“You absolutely have to come back, you know? If you can’t stay here, I’ll tell your mother. How can you not come back? You’re still so young. You need to learn and grow here.”
Xiao Bai was afraid that Xiao Weiwei would never return, so he planned to talk to Xiao Weiwei's mother and tell her to bring Xiao Weiwei back when the time came.
