Dad Academy

In the courtyard of Little Red Horse Academy, the shadows of the trees were dancing under the moonlight, the shadows were moving in the wind, and little bugs were playing and singing around.

Zhang Tan moved two chairs from the classroom and sat with Lao Li and Meng Guangxin. He pointed to another empty chair and said to Xi'er who was looking this way from a distance: "Want to come over and sit? Sit here."

Hiahia ran over and hesitated whether to sit for her. After getting a positive answer, she happily sat down, holding the unfinished bear drink and biting the straw.

"You haven't finished drinking your little bear yet?" Zhang Tan asked. He just saw her giving one mouthful to one person and one mouthful to that person, and thought he had finished drinking it.

"hiahiahia~~~" Xi'er giggled and shook the bottle. There was still the sound of water. She bit the straw and took a long time to take a small sip. Naturally, she could drink for a long time.

She looked up at Meng Guangxin and said, "Cheng Cheng's father, why are you looking at me?"

Meng Guangxin laughed and said she was so cute, "Do you know me?"

"You are Cheng Cheng's father, hiahia, do you know who I am?"

Meng Guangxin hesitated and asked tentatively: "Are you Xiaomi?"

Xi'er hiahia laughed and said she was Xi'er, not Xiaomi.

Meng Guangxin smiled awkwardly.

Xi'er asked again: "Are you here to see Cheng Cheng?"

"yes."

"Did you know that Cheng Cheng is great at telling stories?"

"Oh, really?"

He knew that Cheng Cheng liked reading picture books and telling stories. She often told them to small animal dolls at home. He also heard that she often told them to children at Little Red Horse Academy, but he rarely saw her with his own eyes.

I came so early today and made a special trip to observe. The shy little guy was actually telling stories to several children, and he was not shy at all.

He stood outside the window and watched for a long time, unable to hear anything, but he watched with great interest, as if he was also immersed in Cheng Cheng's story. This side of his daughter was unfamiliar to him, and he felt relieved and guilty at the same time.

Xi'er didn't sit in the yard for long. Drinking tea with a few adults was boring, and they didn't play with her. She ran to find Xiaobai and Xiaomi.

The remaining three people were drinking tea and chatting in the yard. The purple clay pot was steaming, and Lao Li kept making new tea for the two of them.

At this time, Little Red Horse is the quietest, and parents picking up and dropping off children will not come during this time.

The three of them chatted incessantly. Lao Li and Meng Guangxin talked a lot, but Zhang Tan talked less.

"You haven't been very busy at work lately, have you?" Zhang Tan asked.

Meng Guangxin said: "The job is still the same job, and the things are still the same, but it is not so busy."

He went on to say: "Things can never be finished. Even if we work overtime and finish today, there will be nothing missing tomorrow."

He used to work hard, doing more work than others, but received little recognition and praise. Now he has changed his work attitude and approach, no longer being a bad guy, he has fewer things to do, and his work and life have suddenly become smoother.

Before leaving get off work today, his immediate superior talked to him. He thought they were going to talk about work, but in fact they were not. The two of them just chatted, mostly about life, like friends chatting about family matters. Only at the end, the leader brought up the topic and said that work is for life. If life is not straightened out, work is impossible. Take care of yourself, work hard, and enjoy life.

In the corridor outside the classroom, four little guys ran out one after another, and flew into the woods nearby, thinking that Zhang Tan didn't notice them.

They were watering the vegetable seedlings they planted and squatting in front of them to look at them. It took a while before they returned to the classroom.

Meng Guangxin also came to the classroom and sat quietly outside the children, listening to Cheng Cheng's story.

Only Zhang Tan and Lao Li were left in the yard. Lao Li suddenly said: "The young couple outside is here again."

"Which young couple?"

Zhang Tan turned around and looked outside the courtyard gate, and indeed saw a young man and woman wandering outside the gate, as well as a child, looking inside the iron gate.

"I think I've seen them too, what? Do they come often?" Zhang Tan asked.

Lao Li: "I come not only often, but almost every day."

"What for? I saw they had children with them."

"I don't know what they were doing. Let me ask. They didn't say anything and just left with the child. I doubt they wanted to throw the child away, right?"

"Oh no."

"Harm, I'm just guessing. I can't ask, so I can only guess."

"I gonna go see."

Zhang Tan got up, came outside the yard, and asked them, "Are you in trouble? Do you want to come in and take a look?"

The couple looked at each other, and the man nodded and made a few gestures with his hands, making Zhang Tan confused. He seemed to be mute.

Zhang Tan couldn't understand sign language, so he could only guide them in and look around.

The two men took the children outside the classroom and looked at the children playing inside through the window. The baby in the woman's arms was babbling and wanted to join in.

Zhang Tan whispered to Lao Li that the two of them were disabled and could not speak.

Lao Li suddenly understood. No wonder he came up to ask several times, but they didn't say anything and turned around and left.

At the door of the classroom, a child was lying on the edge of the door looking out, sizing up the family of three, then ran out, ran to Zhang Tan and asked: "Boss Zhang, who is that??"

It was Xiaobai who noticed someone peeking at them outside the window and immediately ran out to inquire about the situation.

"Don't worry, they just want to see the little red horse. Maybe they want to put their little baby here." Zhang Tan said.

Xiaobai said "oh" and saw the young couple leaving. The man bowed slightly to Zhang Tan, waved goodbye, and left with the woman holding the child.

…

The latest issue of "Fantasy Night of the Tang Dynasty" hit a new sales high. Today's traffic and topic is "Qin Shi Mingyue". Friends who like this comic have naturally heard of Little Red Horse Comics Studio, and Little Red Horse The studio is about to launch a new comic about a fairy tale about a human child and a little mermaid. Everyone was talking a lot and looking forward to it.

The magazine has already made a preview, as well as a simple introduction and poster. On the poster, Ponyo is trapped in a bubble, as small as a little goldfish, flying in the air and looking at Sousuke on the cliff.

Looking at the poster and introduction, this will not be the passionate style of "Qin Shi Mingyue".

"It should be similar to the style of Coco."

"That's great. I really like "Coco". I heard that it has been adapted into a comic book and handed over to Pujiang Film Studio. I don't know when it will be released. I'm really looking forward to it."

"It might just look like it, but of course it can't be exactly the same style, but I'm still looking forward to it."

"I also really like the style of "Looking for Dreams". "Qin Shi Mingyue" is not my cup of tea. I was quite disappointed at first, but now it's better. I hope to see "Ponyo on the Cliff" soon. Ponyo Is it a little goldfish? A little mermaid?”

"I'm tired of watching the fighting and killing. I still like quieter comics. I hope this one will be my cup of tea."
