Chapter 3291 Liuliu's Quick Idea
As soon as Zhang Tan got home, Xiao Bai came back downstairs.
"So early today..."
Before Zhang Tan could finish his greeting, he saw a string of children following behind Xiao Bai, including Xiao Weiwei, who was holding a manuscript in her hands.
Zhang Tan knew from the sight of this commotion that someone wanted to see him.
He patiently invited them to sit on the sofa in the living room, and then sat down himself, looking at them.
"Did you need something?"
Xiao Bai chuckled and called out to Xiao Weiwei behind him, "Xiao Weiwei, you tell us."
Xiao Weiwei immediately stepped forward, babbled on about the background of her report, and then solemnly handed over "Little Pine Tree's Midnight School Observation Report".
Zhang Tan reached out and took the book, then immediately began to read it. The room was quiet; although it was full of people, no one spoke, only the sound of him turning the pages could be heard.
After quickly flipping through the pages, Zhang Tan finally looked up. Suddenly, many pairs of eyes, big and small, were staring at him, which made him feel quite pressured.
Facing everyone's expectant gazes, Zhang Tan said, "It's very well written, with pictures and text, data, and materials. It's not just general talk; it records the facts, analyzes them in depth, and draws conclusions. It's excellent."
As soon as he finished speaking, Robin and Liuliu jumped up and cheered, as if they had written it themselves and felt an extraordinary sense of accomplishment.
Xiao Weiwei also gave a restrained "Yay!" and Xiao Bai asked, "Old man, what happened next?"
Zhang sighed and asked, "And then what?"
Xiao Bai said, "Since Xiao Weiwei writes so well, don't you plan to let more people see it?"
Seeing that her husband hadn't reacted yet, she continued, "Let me share my thoughts first. I originally planned to show it to my great-grandfather, but he was transferred to work in another city, so I decided to show it to my great-grandmother instead. She works in the propaganda department and can report on it so that more people can see our report."
"I also plan to let..."
She rattled off a long list, naming several people, each with their name and title, ensuring that asking for help was within their authority.
Zhang sighed in amazement, thinking to himself, "You really know how to utilize resources, and you've used them quite accurately. Saving so many phone numbers certainly wasn't for nothing."
He quickly stated, "Here's what I'm planning: I'll show it to the district leaders who came to our area for research last time. It will definitely be of great help to them. At the same time, I can also send it to Liuliu's mother to see if she can arrange for a TV station to interview and report on Little Pine Tree Night School, thus expanding its influence."
Little White smiled like a little fox: "Sure, sure."
Suddenly, Liuliu whispered something in her ear, and Xiaobai's expression changed. She said, "Old man, aren't their officials too lowly?"
Zhang Tan glanced at Liu Liu. This girl was complaining that someone else's official rank was too low!
"It's not a small matter. As the saying goes, a local official is more powerful than a distant one. The important thing isn't the rank of the official, but that this matter happens to be under their jurisdiction. The Midnight Academy is in charge of the leaders who came last time, so it's most appropriate for them to see it. I suggest you don't show it to your great-grandmother. She's too high-ranking. Wait until the Midnight Academy at Little Pine Tree, Little Willow Tree, and Little Camphor Tree all open and have a larger scale and greater influence before you talk to your great-grandmother and ask her if she wants some publicity."
Xiao Bai thought about it and nodded in agreement with Old Man Zhang's words.
The group got the answer they wanted, but instead of leaving, they turned on the TV and watched cartoons. Little White and Happy Doll, like little masters, brought out bear-shaped drinks and various fruits.
However, there was a slight disagreement among them when it came to choosing which animated film to watch.
Dudu suggested that she bring the TVs up from the first floor, so that two TVs would be enough for them to watch, instead of one fighting over watching "Dora the Explorer" and the other fighting over watching "Cardcaptor Sakura". But Xiaobai didn't agree because the children downstairs also wanted to watch cartoons.
In the end, Xiaobai gave in to the younger girls, including Xiaowei, and they watched "Dora the Explorer".
Liuliu flew up happily. She had plenty to eat and drink, and her favorite cartoons to watch. She was so happy that she didn't want to go downstairs at all.
She used this opportunity to flatter Chengcheng, giving her two grapes and saying obsequiously, "Chengcheng, look, even Xiao Weiwei can write reports. You're so amazing, telling so many stories, each one so captivating. Could you publish a book? If you do, I'll be the first to buy it and get your autograph."
"Publish a book?"
Even the usually composed Chengcheng was shocked by Liuliu's idea: publish a book? This was something she had never even considered.
"Yes, that's right! Publish a book!!"
Liu Liu was completely ignited by her own idea, and she gestured wildly, pointing to a thick notebook.
"Chengcheng's stories are even better than many picture books! If they were made into a real book, printed out, and put in bookstores, or on our Little Red Horse bookshelves... wouldn't many more children be able to hear Chengcheng's stories? They could ask their mothers to tell Chengcheng's stories before going to bed at night!"
The more she talked about it, the more feasible it seemed, as if she could already see the beautiful new book with Chengcheng's name printed on it.
Xiaomi's eyes lit up like the brightest stars in the night sky. She said, "Liuliu's idea is fantastic! Chengcheng's story really deserves to be heard by more people. It's not just fun; it also contains courage, friendship, and imagination."
Even Xiaomi agreed, and Liuliu was even more proud of her brilliant idea. She laughed heartily and said that she would definitely encourage Chengcheng to publish a book today.
Liuliu's suggestion was enthusiastically received by everyone, and Xiwawa also agreed wholeheartedly: "Chengcheng, Chengcheng! Would you like to turn all the beautiful stories you've told into a book? So that they will never disappear and will always be with the children?"
Chengcheng's gaze slowly swept over her friends surrounding her. Xiaobai's face was full of encouragement and pride, Liuliu looked excited and expectant, Xiaomi's eyes showed rational support, Xier's pure joy, Xiaoweiwei's eager look, Dudu's encouraging and affirmative nods, and even Robin stopped watching cartoons and stared at her with wide eyes.
These gazes converged into a warm current, flowing into her usually calm heart. She had always simply enjoyed telling stories and seeing the sparkling eyes of her friends as they listened; she had never imagined that the stories themselves could transcend the little red horse and reach even farther places.
Under the eager gaze of her friends, she felt a strange, solemn warmth. She took a soft breath, then nodded almost imperceptibly, her voice gentle yet clear: "If...everyone thinks it's good, we can give it a try."
"Of course!!"
Little White was the first to jump up, patting her little chest loudly: "Chengcheng's stories are the best in all of Little Red Horse! No, they're the best in the whole world! It would be a disservice to those stories if they weren't published! We all grew up listening to your stories!!"
Her words always carried an undeniable air of authority, yet were also filled with the most sincere approval.
Dudu said, "I've loved listening to Chengcheng's stories since I was little. Whenever I'm sad, I listen to Chengcheng's stories, and they make me feel better. Chengcheng, your stories have power."
Liu Liu nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, yes, whenever I'm depressed, I want to hear Cheng Cheng's stories. Cheng Cheng, do you remember that time I got beaten up at night and couldn't sleep? I called you, and you told me two stories to lull me to sleep."
Chengcheng's gaze fell on Liuliu, who actually remembered it; it had been several years ago.
"Then let's help Chengcheng with it!" Xiao Weiwei was still burning with a sense of accomplishment from completing the report, and immediately volunteered.
“I can help write down and organize the stories Chengcheng has told! I’ll be the little editor of the new book!” Xiao Weiwei said.
“I can be the graphic designer! I can illustrate the new book,” Xiaomi said, her drawings are always quite good.
Xiwawa immediately raised her hand: "I'll be an artist too, and I'm very good at drawing."
Dudu said, "I'll be the first reader! Every time Chengcheng finishes writing one, I'll be the first to read it! Then I'll tell everyone how it is!"
……
Robin looked left and right. Everyone else had already taken all the important positions. What could she possibly do?
She spun around anxiously, then suddenly stopped, her little face hardening as she said, "I'll protect Chengcheng's storybook! I won't let the wind blow it away, nor will I let bad people steal it! I'll also protect Chengcheng so she can write her stories in peace!"
She magically produced a gleaming golden radish knife and brandished it in front of everyone, eliciting laughter from the crowd. Instead of being ashamed, she was proud and became even more enthusiastic, boastfully asking Dudu how good her knife skills were, as Dudu's double swords were quite formidable.
Dudu laughed loudly: "Not bad, not bad, very good, very good."
Robin stood with his hands on his hips, laughing loudly, truly believing himself to be second to none, and even more confident in protecting Chengcheng.
Looking at her friends who were excitedly making plans for her, Chengcheng watched as they chatted away, their warm words like tiny sparks illuminating her heart.
"Thank you everyone," Chengcheng said softly, her voice finally no longer indifferent.
"You're welcome!" Liu Liu casually took the opportunity to put her arm around Cheng Cheng's shoulder, as if to say, "I'll take care of you."
She said, "From now on, you'll be our Little Red Horse's great writer! Remember to be the first to sign the book when it's printed! Write 'To the world's cutest swallow, Liu Liu!'"
Chengcheng didn't say anything, but just stared at Liuliu's hand that was wrapped around her shoulder.
Liu Liu laughed heartily, pretending not to see anything, and continued to hug Cheng Cheng. She even took two deep breaths of the fragrance, thoroughly enjoying herself. "It smells so good! Little melon lives up to its name."
