Chapter 3110 Home Visit 1

"Don't cry, don't cry. Your aunt is only doing this for your own good. Don't be too sad."

That evening, Zhang Tan went to Xiao Bai's bedroom to comfort her.

Xiaobai was nearly driven mad by her aunt's mockery, but luckily, Xiwawa brought a first-aid kit and saved her. Even so, Xiaobai was heartbroken that night, unable to control her emotions, lying in bed unable to sleep, tears welling in her eyes. She had truly been broken by her aunt's mockery.

Xi'er and Robin, who originally wanted to stay and comfort her, both went back. They were driven away by Xiaobai, who was now furious and didn't want to lose face in front of her good friend and niece.

Zhang Tan sat on the edge of the bed and handed a tissue to Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai, sobbing, took the tissue to wipe her tears, blew her nose, which turned bright red, and then handed the tissue back to Zhang Tan.

Zhang Tan pinched the tissue between two fingers and threw it into the trash can.

"But Auntie shouldn't say that to me!" Xiaobai felt extremely wronged. Her defenses had been completely broken by her auntie's mockery. Her auntie really didn't give her any face at all.

“Your aunt’s words were indeed a bit too direct; she should have been more tactful,” Zhang Tan said.

Xiao Bai looked at him with a start: "Old man, what do you mean? You mean Auntie is right?"

Zhang Tan quickly denied it: "That's not what I meant. Your aunt's intentions were good, but her methods were wrong. Don't keep taking it to heart. Go to sleep. Teacher Wu is coming for a home visit tomorrow."

"Old man, you go to sleep first. I need to think about this carefully."

Xiaobai let Zhang Tan leave first. She lay on the bed, tossing and turning, thinking about it. One moment she felt that her aunt was really cruel, saying those things to mock her. The next moment she felt that what her aunt said seemed to make some sense. Had her grades really dropped? Had she really not worked hard enough? Was she really becoming a poor student?

As she was thinking, Xiaobai fell asleep, sleeping soundly and sweetly!

The next day, before Xiaobai was even fully awake, Xier and Robin arrived. Both looked grave, and as soon as they saw Zhang Tan, they asked how Xiaobai was doing.

Xi'er made dumplings overnight and brought them over, while Robin brought his own glaring little green worm.

Upon learning that Xiaobai was still sleeping, the two were somewhat relieved, as they had thought Xiaobai would have been sleepless all night.

When Xiaobai got up and came out of the bedroom, she immediately saw Xier and Robin watching cartoons in the living room.

Xi'er smiled at her and said, "A beautiful day has begun."

The smiling face of the baby is very healing, and Xiaobai feels much better.

After having breakfast together, Xiaobai found Zhang Tan in the study and told Xi'er and Robin, who had come with her, not to come in but to wait for her outside.

"Is there something you want to tell me?" Zhang Tan asked, putting down what he was doing.

Xiao Bai nodded, closed the study door, and said, "Old man, I thought about it for a long time last night. What my aunt said hurt me deeply, but why do I feel that what she said makes some sense? Do I really not like studying? Are you and Grandma very disappointed?"

Zhang Tan never expected Xiao Bai to say these things. Not only did she no longer hold a grudge against her aunt, she also learned to reflect on her actions.

He thought for a moment and said, "We have high expectations for you."

Xiao Bai understood and nodded: "Old man, what Auntie said wasn't nice, but she's right. ε=(ο｀*))) Sigh, I really didn't do well on the test. I'm the class monitor, after all. I can't laugh at Liu Liu anymore. I'm not much better than her. She's got eight ounces, I'm half a pound. Nobody should laugh at anyone else. I need to reflect, I need to work hard, I want to become a linguist, a mathematician, an English expert, and a scientist..."

Zhang Tanxin said, "I hope you're not just working intermittently, giving yourself a pep talk and then reverting to your old ways after the hype wears off. But I still want to offer encouragement and affirmation."

"It's great that you think that way. As the class monitor, you should set a good example, both in life and in your studies."

Xiao Bai said, "Old man, you're right. The power of role models is boundless. From now on, I'll learn Chinese from you, math from Xiaomi, English from Xiwawa, and science from Xiaomi."

"That's good, I'm glad you think that way."

"I wonder if the English training class that Xiwawa mentioned yesterday will be held or not. I'd like to sign up for one."

"We can invite Robin along."

"That's right. If you start learning from a young age, you'll progress faster. Let's invite Liuliu too, so we can all improve together."

"If you want, I can find you a training course and send you to attend it."

"Huh? No, no, hehehe, don't waste this money. It's not easy for our family to earn money. Keep it. I'll just find everyone to learn from. Xiao Songqin is very good at math, Chengcheng is great at Chinese, and Xiaozhou knows a lot about science. You see, life is full of teachers. Old man, do you think I should go find my aunt?"

Xiao Bai quickly changed the subject, afraid that her father would insist on sending her to some kind of training class.

Why are you looking for your aunt?

You're not thinking of getting revenge on your aunt, are you?

"I apologized to my aunt. I didn't do well on the test and disappointed her. Otherwise, she wouldn't have said those things to me last night."

"...Emmm, if you've made up your mind, then go ahead and do it."

"But old man, I'm too embarrassed to go. I can't bring myself to do it. I think I'll just not go. I won't be angry with my aunt."

Zhang Tan: "..."

Xiaobai did not immediately go to apologize to her aunt; instead, she stayed at the school to wait for Teacher Wu to come for a home visit.

Ms. Wu said she would return to her home at 9:30 and then go to Liuliu's home at 11:30.

Xiaobai also wanted to invite Teacher Wu to her house for lunch, but she didn't expect that Liuliu would win the invitation. She thought that Liuliu must have flattered her and given her a gift, otherwise why would she go to the vice class monitor's house instead of staying at the class monitor's house?

Xiaobai made a special phone call to Liuliu about this, and the two started arguing after only a few words. Then, it's unclear who hung up first, and they parted on bad terms.

To ensure the home visit was a success, Xiaobai tried her best to create an image of being studious and hardworking. Early in the morning, she teamed up with Xier and Robin to clean the study, secretly hiding all of her father's books. Then she brought out the books she was reading and placed them all in a prominent place in the study. If there weren't enough books, she would go downstairs to the classroom and borrow storybooks to decorate the room.

Robin followed suit and brought over a stack of his favorite picture books, placing them in what he considered the most prominent spot.

"Don't put them here, they'll trip people up," Xi'er said, moving the stack of picture books Robin had placed on the floor by the door and putting them on Robin's own little desk.

Robin followed behind, saying unwillingly, "Sister Xi'er, it'll be easier for Teacher Wu to see if we put it by the door."

"When Teacher Wu arrives, you'll have five minutes to introduce yourself."

Upon hearing this, Robin was overjoyed and immediately stopped worrying about where to put his picture books.

Zhang Tan arrived and asked, "What are you doing? It's almost 9:30. Go downstairs to the courtyard and wait for Teacher Wu."

Everyone rushed out and waited in the courtyard, while also keeping Old Li company in the sun and drinking tea.

However, none of the three of them liked tea, finding it bitter and unpleasant to drink, so they usually drank plain water and played with the parrot.

"You don't need to come, you can go home." Xiaobai wanted to get rid of Xi'er and Robin.

Leaving was out of the question; Robin still remembered his five-minute self-introduction, and Xi'er was planning to talk to Teacher Wu about Xiaobai's learning progress.

“I also know Teacher Wu. I’ll keep Teacher Wu company and talk to her.” Xi’er did know Teacher Wu, and they were quite familiar with each other. After all, this little girl often went to Teacher Wu’s office to inquire about Xiaobai, Liuliu, and Xiaomi’s studies, and occasionally she would also go to Xiaobai’s classroom.

Xiao Bai was speechless and looked at Robin.

Robin quickly racked his brains and came up with an excuse: "I'm preparing for elementary school."

Xiaobai was even more speechless. Oh well, she knew she couldn't get rid of these two.

At 9:30, Ms. Wu's car stopped in front of the Little Red Horse store. Her car was a small red electric sedan.

The courtyard gate was wide open, and Xiaobai immediately went to greet Teacher Wu, welcoming her to her home.

Zhang Tan and Teacher Jiang also came and stood in the courtyard to welcome Teacher Wu Mei.

Teacher Wu Mei has been to Little Red Horse before, so she is no stranger to this place, but every time she comes, she feels different.

"Welcome, Ms. Wu." Zhang Tan reached out and shook hands with Wu Mei.

"Hello, Little White's Dad."

Teacher Wu Mei could see Zhang Tan often, because Zhang Tan would often come to the school to pick up Xiao Bai after school. However, this semester it was less frequent, and a male and female bodyguard came more often.

The group first gave a brief tour of Little Red Pony Academy, and then went upstairs to their home.

"Teacher Wu, would you like to visit my study?" Xiaobai asked, trying to cultivate a persona of "love of learning".

"Okay, lead the way."

Wu Mei followed Xiao Bai into the study. Her first impression was that the study was huge, with large floor-to-ceiling windows and warm sunlight shining on the floor. Then, guided by Xiao Bai, she saw the books in the study.

"Xiao Bai, are these all your books?"

"Of course! I love reading."

What kinds of books do you usually read?

As she asked the question, Teacher Wu picked up a book from the large desk; the cover read "Totto-chan: The Story of a Girl at the Window."

What a coincidence, she also has this book.

Wu Mei put down the first book and picked up the second one, whose cover was titled "A Garden of Vegetables Came to Life." Then she looked down at the third book on the desk, whose cover was "Little Bear Baby Picture Book Series."

Okay, Ms. Wu Mei silently put all the books back in their original places and praised Xiao Bai for his love of reading.
