Dad Academy

"Here we are, that's your mother's house!"

Xiaobai pointed to a small three-story building outside the car and said to Xiaoliu.

Xiaoliu also recognized this house as her mother's home.

Zhang Tan parked the car and as soon as he reached the back row and opened the door, Xiaobai had already opened the door first and jumped out of the car first. Then he opened his hands and picked up the little friends to get out of the car one by one. He looked like a competent person. Miss.

Zhang Tan turned his attention to this three-story building. Under the eaves of the first floor, clothes racks were set up to dry clothes. However, the door was closed and no one seemed to be at home.

He took a few steps forward, knocked hard on the door a few times, and asked, "Is anyone home?"

The house was silent and no one responded.

Zhang Tan knocked again and waited for a while, but still no one answered.

He turned back to the children and said, "No one is home. Maybe they went to work in the fields and haven't come home yet. We'll wait and see."

Xiaoliu looked up at the sky with some worry. At this time, the sun was about to set and set on the top of the mountain. In less than half an hour, it would completely disappear under the horizon.

"We have to wait for Xiaoliu's mother to come back. She hasn't found her mother yet, so we can't leave." Xiaobai said firmly.

"We won't go back until we find Xiaoliu's mother." Xiaomi's expression was extremely determined.

Gulu gulu gulu...

Everyone glanced at Liliu.

Liuliu was a little embarrassed and laughed to resolve the embarrassment. She was a little hungry and her stomach was pounding.

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you are hungry. We must find Xiaoliu's mother." Liuliu said.

Everyone nodded and comforted Xiaoliu thoughtfully, telling her not to worry. She would definitely find her mother today.

"But the sun is going down, and you still have to go home." Xiao Liu whispered, looking anxious.

Xiaobai said loudly: "What are you afraid of? What are you afraid of? Don't panic. There is still moonlight after the sun goes down. She will light up the road and take you to where you want to go. We will wait here and we will definitely be able to wait for your mother." Yes. Your business is our business.”

Everyone continued to wait at the door of the house, and suddenly there were so many people, which finally attracted the attention of the neighbor next door.

An aunt from the house next door came out and stared at them suspiciously. She took a few steps closer. When she saw so many children, her eyes became less wary and she asked, "Who are you looking for?"

After Zhang Tan answered, he asked where the family had gone, and the aunt told them: "They went to the county town to sell melons. It's hard to sell watermelons now. They can't sell them in the town. They can only transport them to the county town, but the county town doesn't sell them." It’s easy to sell, but there are few people there, so they usually don’t come back until very late.”

Zhang Tan asked: "How late will it be?"

The aunt said: "This can't be done accurately. If you are lucky and there are many people buying melons, you will come back early. If you can't sell melons, it may be very late. I didn't get home until after eight o'clock in the evening yesterday, and it was almost eight o'clock the day before yesterday. , my old man also went there, but he hasn’t come back yet. He called just now and said that the sales were not good today.”

"Thank you." Zhang Tan thanked the other party.

The aunt was still quite enthusiastic and said: "If you are looking for someone, I suggest you come over tomorrow morning. In the morning, you will usually pick melons in the melon field, and you will not be at home after lunch."

Zhang Tan thanked the other party again, and then discussed with everyone. In fact, he mainly discussed with Xiaoliu.

It was definitely not possible to wait until eight o'clock in the evening. Everyone was hungry, and the little girl Xiaoliu said that she planned to leave after seeing her mother and would not spend the night here. It was so late, how could she, a little child, leave!

Xiaoliu also heard what the aunt said. When she heard that her mother would not come home until very late, she was about to burst into tears.

Xiaobai quickly comforted her: "It doesn't matter if you can't wait today. We'll wait again tomorrow. We'll eventually wait, don't you think?"

Xiaoliu didn't speak.

Xiao Xiaobai immediately agreed. She is her little aunt's follower: "Yes! Xiao Liu is right! We will definitely help you find your mother."

Xiaobai corrected her and said, "You have to call me Sister Xiaoliu."

Xi'er then said, "Yes, Xiaobai, you are right. As long as we do it with our heart, we will do it well."

Liuliu was shocked and said: "Wow - Xiwa, you can speak reasonable words."

Xiwawa nodded and said, "As long as I read more, I will understand a lot of truths and become smarter and smarter. As long as we come here a few more times, we will definitely be able to find Xiaoliu's mother."

Everyone was comforting Xiaoliu, and Xiaoliu finally relieved her anxiety. She didn't want everyone to wait here with her all the time. Everyone hadn't eaten yet, so they must be hungry, and Liuliu was cooing with hunger.

So Xiaoliu suggested that everyone go back first.

Zhang Tan immediately agreed and suggested going home first and coming to find someone early tomorrow morning.

"Xiaoliu, come stay at my house. Can we send you to find your mother early tomorrow morning?" Xiaobai suggested.

Xiao Xiaobai also vowed: "We will definitely help you find a good mother. Are your father and your mother together?"

As soon as she finished speaking, her little aunt covered her mouth and dragged her away.

Xiaoliu smiled and said nothing.

At this time, Dudu said: "When the sun rises tomorrow, we will set off. We will set off at six o'clock. We will ride our bicycles and we will definitely find Xiaoliu's mother."

Xiaomi also enthusiastically helped with ideas: "Let's leave a note at her door and tell her mother that we will come early tomorrow morning and ask them to wait for us, okay?"

…

Everyone talked about it and put forward various ideas, which made Xiaoliu feel much better. It was not the end of the world if she did not find her mother tonight.

In the end, she agreed to go home with Xiaobai first.

Tan Jiner was thoughtful and asked Xiaoliu to call her family first to report that she was safe, otherwise her family would be very worried if she did not go home tonight.

"I don't have a phone." Xiaoliu said a little embarrassedly.

"I have!" Xiaobai showed her smart phone watch at the first time, "Use my phone watch to call."

"I have one too! Use mine!"

"And mine."

...

Everyone took out their own phone watches enthusiastically and asked Xiaoliu to use theirs to call her family, as if it was an honor.

"Xiaoliu, do you remember your home phone number?" Tan Jiner asked with some concern.

The little girl went out without a phone. Her family was really generous. They dared to let the little girl go on a long journey.

Xiaoliu smiled, and her little hand dug in her trouser pocket and took out a small piece of paper. When she unfolded it, it was a mobile phone number.

"This is my grandfather's phone number." She said.

Xiaobai came over, entered the number on the phone watch, dialed it, and handed the phone watch to Xiaoliu.

The phone rang eight or nine times before it was connected. Xiaoliu called grandpa and then talked about what happened today.

The old grandfather was of course worried about Xiaoliu going out, especially staying at a stranger's house at night, he was even more worried.

So Zhang Tan took the initiative to explain to him and reported the name of the village chief of Baijia Village.

Unexpectedly, the old man actually knew the village chief, so after Zhang Tan hung up the phone, he immediately called the village chief, told him the situation, and then asked him to call Xiaoliu's grandfather to reassure the old man.

After more than ten minutes, the village chief called again and told Zhang Tan that the matter had been settled.

The old man was very vigilant. Although he had heard the name of the village chief, he did not know him. The village chief called him, and he could not tell whether it was true or false, so the old man actually ran to the village chief's house in his own village.

The village chief of their village knew the village chief of Baijia Village, and they had each other's phone numbers, so when Lao Bai called, the village chief answered the phone. After confirming that everything was correct, he felt relieved.

Zhang Tan thanked the village chief, and seeing that the matter had been settled, he took the children back to Baijia Village.

When he returned home, the sun had completely set, and the moon rose in the sky. The moonlight was like water, illuminating the village as if it were daytime, and you could walk on the country road in the moonlight without a flashlight.

There were people playing in the water and bathing in the small river in Baijia Village, and Zhang Tan took the children there. For children in summer, playing in the water and bathing in the small river is the happiest moment of the day.

Xiaoliu didn't bring any change of clothes, so Xiaobai gave her a set of clothes. They were of similar body shape and they were just right.

The little girl quickly integrated into this big family, and the dinner in the evening was unprecedentedly lively. It was obvious that she had more smiles on her face, and she was amused by Liuliu several times.

After dinner, bamboo beds were placed in the yard. On the coffee table were cut watermelons, apples, pears, grapes, and pear melons sent by Dunzi’s mother. The evening breeze was blowing...

The children fell asleep while counting the stars in the story.
