Chapter 3288 Evening at Little Pine Tree Academy

Chapter 3288 Evening at Little Pine Tree Academy

Teacher Xiaoliu brought a box of colored chalk, which she had prepared in advance. She originally intended for the children to write and draw on the blackboard, but she didn't expect it to be used on the wall.

Xiaobai started drawing. She stood on tiptoe and drew a crooked pine tree in the center of the wall. The branches were bared and clawed, like a hedgehog, but on the top of the tree sat two stick figures, one big and one small, wearing straw hats.

“This is me!” she said, pointing to the smaller stick figure, but without saying who the larger one was.

Liu Liu complained that Xiao Bai had taken up such a good spot: "Couldn't you have drawn it on the side? Why did you have to draw it right in the middle? That's so domineering!"

Xiao Bai chuckled: "Didn't you call me Little White the Domineering CEO, my wife?"

Liu Liu glared at him angrily: "Say it again!"

Xiaobai shoved the chalk into her hand: "Hurry up and draw, you're angry again."

Liu Liu gasped for breath twice, then swallowed her anger for the moment.

Next to Xiaobai, she drew a "lush" pine tree, with snacks hanging on it. If you look closely, they are bear-shaped biscuits, lollipops, cotton candy, and bottles of bear-shaped drinks falling from the sky.

Robin looked at the painting with envy: "Liuliu, I really want to have this tree too."

When her drawing of the pine tree was appreciated, Liuliu couldn't help but burst into laughter. Although the others didn't express their approval, Liuliu believed that everyone secretly wanted a pine tree like that, but was just too shy to say it.

Liu Liu shoved the chalk into Jun Jun's hand: "Hey, why are your hands shaking!"

"I...I wasn't shaking." This was Junjun's last act of defiance.

Dudu explained to him, "You're not shaking, it's an earthquake."

Xiaomi comforted her, "Don't rush, think it through before you draw."

Junjun held the chalk; he had never drawn on the wall before. At home, the walls were snow-white, and his mother said he wasn't allowed to get them dirty.

Xi'er encouraged, "Draw however you want!"

Junjun gritted his teeth and drew a straight pine tree, with each branch symmetrical, as if it had been measured with a ruler.

"Wow, so neat!" Xi'er exclaimed.

Next was Xiaoyu, whom she drew very carefully; it was a flowering pine tree.

As for how pine trees can bloom? That's not the point. The point is that she thinks it looks beautiful. Real pine trees may not bloom, but the pine trees in her heart can bloom, blooming innocently and beautifully.

Dongdong drew a pine tree covered with monkeys that looked like matchsticks...? He said they were little monkeys doing somersaults. That's quite imaginative.

Xiaoya drew a pine tree with many little frogs hanging from its branches. Robin asked, "Why are the little frogs hanging on the pine tree?"

Xiaobai explained to Xiaoya, "These little frogs all hanged themselves from the southeast branches. Don't be surprised. You're too young and haven't seen much of the world."

Robin simply said "Oh," without arguing. There was nothing she could do; this was her own aunt. If it were someone else, she would have argued with her.

Her own drawing was the most abstract; she drew a pine tree that looked like a steel fork.

“This is Pine Tree Hero!” she explained earnestly.

A few bursts of laughter erupted from the crowd, and Robin immediately glared at Liuliu, who was laughing the loudest.

"What are you laughing at, Liuliu?"

Her little hand had already slipped into her pocket; you can guess what she was going to do.

Liu Liu laughed and said, "I'm laughing at how creative your Pine Tree Hero is! I just want to know who can defeat such a Pine Tree Hero."

"Huh?"

Robin thought Liuliu was going to laugh at her, but it turned out she was praising her? It was all a misunderstanding.

Her previously sullen face immediately brightened, and she exclaimed, "Hiahia, I think it's amazing too~~"

……

As Ms. Xiaoliu looked at the wall gradually being covered with paint, those crooked, naive lines, she suddenly felt that, from this perspective, the wall was actually quite beautiful.

It is no longer a clean but cold wall, but a wall with stories and children.

After finishing the drawing, Xiaobai asked Dongdong to perform his specialty—somersaults.

Dongdong took a deep breath and did three flips on the mat in a row. Although he almost fell over on the last one, Dudu was quick-witted and gently helped him steady himself.

"it is good!!"

Xiaomi led the applause.

Dongdong's face was flushed, but his eyes shone brightly. It was the first time he had been praised by so many people for doing a somersault. At school, the teachers only told him to be careful, or simply forbade him from doing somersaults altogether, while at home, his mother was more worried about him getting his clothes dirty.

Xiao Bai waved his hand and said, "Xiao Weiwei, hurry up, interview! Arrange it!"

"Come on~"

Xiao Weiwei immediately rushed forward, pressed the golden microphone against Dongdong's face, and asked him if he had been able to do somersaults since he was born.

Xiaoyu's specialty is origami frogs. She has very skillful hands and can fold a chubby little frog in just a few strokes. If you press its bottom, it will really jump.

Robin stared wide-eyed, utterly bewildered as to why the paper frog could hop around just by being touched on its bottom! This was illogical!

"Fold one for me!" Xiaomi was the first to chime in.

Then everyone wanted one; Xiaoyu had never been needed by so many people before. She folded faster and faster, her smile growing wider and wider.

Junjun plans to do a jigsaw puzzle. There's a starry sky picture in the academy that costs exactly 1,000 pieces. He found out about it yesterday, but he hasn't dared to do it yet because it might take several days. He hasn't made up his mind to take on the challenge.

But now, the twelve children are sitting around the big table, working together to put it together.

"This piece should be here!"

"No, no, this piece is next to the moon!"

"Let me see! Let me see!"

……

Everyone was making a lot of noise and chattering; it was very noisy, but also very lively.

Junjun was a little anxious at first, as they had put together several pieces incorrectly! But he quickly realized that it didn't matter if they made mistakes; they could just take them apart and put them back together. Besides, putting them together together was much faster than if he did it alone.

More importantly... I'm happy.

For the first time, he felt that puzzles were not a task that required quiet, focus, and no mistakes, but a game that could be played, laughed, and debated with others.

Everyone worked on the puzzle until 9 p.m., and two-thirds of it was completed. They left one-third unfinished, saying that Junjun could finish it himself in the next two days, or ask Xiaoyu and the others to finish it together.

Now it's time for the storytelling segment.

Teacher Xiaoliu invited Chengcheng to tell the story, since Chengcheng is a master storyteller.

When Xiaobai announced that Chengcheng would be telling the story, all the people from Xiaohong Malaysia rushed to grab seats. Even Xiaoweiwei reserved her own stool before going to interview and report.

Liu Liu secretly moved Xiao Weiwei's chair away, wanting to take the good spot for herself, but Robin discovered her.

Liuliu thought she had done it perfectly and no one was paying attention. Just as she was about to take over the spot, she suddenly felt something hard pressing against her lower back. Then she heard a soft voice in her ear: "Liuliu, don't move. This is Xiaoweiwei's place."

Liu Liu turned around and saw Robin. Following Robin's outstretched right hand, she saw a golden radish knife stuck in her waist.

Liu Liu couldn't help but complain: "Damn it, why do you love to meddle in other people's business?"

Robin smugly said, "Heh heh, I'm protecting this place."

Liuliu could have easily ignored Robin, but Robin's outburst brought everyone's attention to her, exposing her despicable behavior to the public eye.

After being criticized by everyone, Liuliu sheepishly put Xiaoweiwei's stool back in place and obediently sat down on the very edge. When she turned her head to look, she saw a little child grinning at her. It was that thing.

Next to Dongdong were several children from Little Pine Tree Academy. Because they were a beat too slow to react, none of them managed to get a good spot and had to share with Liuliu.

This group of girlfriends who only want to play and not do any work is really something else. They have no sense of courtesy whatsoever. It's first come, first served, and whoever takes a spot sits there. They won't give up their seats for those who come later.

Today, Chengcheng is going to tell a story about a little forest. In the forest lived a shy little pine tree that always stood straight and tall, too shy to talk to the other trees. Until one day, a flock of birds flew in, built their nest on it, and brought feathers of various colors, sparkling pebbles, and seeds from afar…

After the story was told, the little pine tree became colorful and became the most special tree in the forest.

"I'm done talking," Chengcheng said.

The classroom was silent for a few seconds.

Xiaoyu asked softly, "Chengcheng, did that little blue bird... come back later?"

Liuliu said, "She might not be able to come back."

Xiaoyu almost cried.

Liuliu was about to speak when Dudu covered her mouth from behind, telling her to stop talking.

Xiaoya asked, "Have the seeds on the little pine tree grown into flowers?"

Dudu nodded repeatedly: "It's done, it's done, it's definitely done."

She held Liuliu's hand tightly, not daring to relax for a moment.

Robin asked curiously, "If the little pine tree learns to bend over, will it not grow tall?"

One question after another, Chengcheng answered them one by one.

At 10 p.m., parents began to pick up their children.

Junjun's mother was the first to arrive. As soon as she entered, she saw the wall covered with paintings of pine trees and paused for a moment.

Junjun is teaching Robin to put together another 10-dollar jigsaw puzzle. Robin keeps making mistakes; he's a bit slow on the uptake, but Junjun patiently corrects him again and again.

When Junjun saw his mother, his eyes lit up and he said, "Mom! Look! The pine tree we drew tonight!"

Looking at the colorful wall and the straight yet warm pine tree her son had drawn on it, Junjun's mother smiled and said, "It's quite beautiful."

Junjun laughed even more happily.

When Xiaoyu's mother came to pick her up, Xiaoyu was folding her tenth paper frog. Liuliu in front of her had already taken two, but wanted a third.

Xiaoyu held up a frog and said, "Mom! Look! I folded this! Everyone says I fold the best!"

Xiaoyu's mother was stunned. In her memory, her daughter had rarely been so confident. At school, she was always that quiet, introverted, and unremarkable little girl.

Mom encouraged her, "My little Yu is so great!"

When Dongdong's father came to pick him up, Dongdong was receiving instruction from Dudu on how to do somersaults.

Dudu counted loudly: "One! Two! Three! Good!! One more!"

Dongdong was sweating profusely, but he was laughing so hard his eyes were almost closed.

Dongdong's father stood at the door for a while before speaking, "Dongdong, it's time to go home."

Dongdong ran over, panting, "Dad! I did thirty somersaults today! Dudu said I'm amazing and very talented!"

Dad patted his head and smiled: "Yes, of course, you're my son."

Xiaoya was the last one to be picked up. Everyone surrounded her, saw her off, and wished her goodnight.

Xiaoya's eyes sparkled with light; she had never imagined that she would be so popular and loved.

On her way home, she couldn't help but ask her mother, "Mom, can we come again tomorrow?"

The day isn't even over yet, and she's already looking forward to visiting the little pine tree tomorrow.

"Of course you can." Her mother took her hand. "Do you like it here?"

Xiaoya nodded vigorously.

After all the children left, Little Pine Tree Academy became quiet.

As Aunt Wang tidied up, she exclaimed, "Today is so lively... completely different from yesterday."

Teacher Liu said with a smile, "The children have finally let loose. Look at Junjun, he's even laughing out loud."

Looking at the colorful wall and then at Xiaobai and the others, Teacher Xiaoliu really didn't know how to thank them.
