Chapter 178 No. 500 (14)

"Ah? Zhang Tan really doesn't give me this little face? How embarrassing."

On the phone, Wang Yu was disappointed when Su Lan said that Zhang Tan didn't have time to keep the appointment.

Su Lan said on the phone: "No, Zhang Tan is not such a petty person, he really has something to do, the crew has to shoot at night, he can't leave as a screenwriter."

"Well, okay, I understand. Su Su, I will leave early tomorrow morning, thank you so much this time, if it weren't for your help, we would definitely be in a mess."

"Don't be so polite."

"Please thank Zhang Tan for me too, oh, forget it, I also have his phone number and WeChat, I'd better say it myself."

"Do you think you are afraid of him?"

"I'm not afraid of him, it's... oh, okay, Su Su, I'll tell you the truth, don't be angry."

"You tell me, I'm not angry."

"That day when I went to the crew to see you, didn't you ask Zhang Tan to receive me and treat me to lunch at noon, I left because of work and missed him, in fact, the work was not so urgent at the time, I didn't have a good impression of him, I didn't want to have dinner with him alone, so I made an excuse to slip away..."

Su Lan was angry and speechless when she heard it over there, thinking that it was no wonder that Zhang Tan didn't want to attend the banquet, he is not a fool, how can he not see this? We were already at the entrance of the restaurant. No matter how important the work was, could she not squeeze out time for a meal?

Immediately, she felt guilty because she had asked Zhang Tan to help receive Wang Yu that time, and she had asked Zhang Tan to go to the lunch banquet. In the end, Zhang Tan was dumped like this. How embarrassing.

Wang Yu was wrong in this matter, but she felt that she was also responsible.

The crew was filming at night, Su Lan looked around, and Yang Zhu asked: "Sister Su Su, what are you looking for?"

"Have you seen Zhang Tan?"

"Teacher Zhang, he left at six o'clock."

Su Lan heard this, this guy, she even made excuses for him, saying that the crew was filming at night and he couldn't leave.

She couldn't help it and sent a WeChat message: I went to talk to the screenwriter about the play, but I couldn't find him. Why isn't Lao Wu here?

Just waited for a while, Zhang Tan replied: Xiaobai is crying, I will comfort her first, call you back in half an hour, I will talk to you about the play, Lao Wu's understanding of the script is not as deep as mine.

Su Lan blinked her eyes, and she had completely forgotten about the play. She was more concerned about why Xiaobai was crying. Also, why did Xiaobai need Zhang Tan to comfort her when she was crying? Who was she to him?

She immediately sent a message to ask: Why is Xiaobai crying?

This time Zhang Tan replied even faster, and replied in seconds: I asked you to come but you didn't come.

Su Lan: "..."

At this moment, in the Little Red Horse Late Night Academy, there was a lot of crying, and the idiots were crying together.

Xiao Qian was surrounded by everyone. The children were crying, and she was crying too. Jiang Bin held her in his arms and comforted her softly.

Teacher Xiao Liu and Teacher Xiao Man stood outside the children, their eyes red.

Xiao Qian was leaving, and she would not come to the Little Red Horse Academy after tonight.

In the principal's office on the second floor, Aunt Huang was handling the procedures for Xiao Qian. Xiao Qian's parents were there, and Zhang Tan was there too.

"Why are you leaving so suddenly? It's too sudden." Aunt Huang was reluctant.

Xiao Qian has been in Xiao Hong Ma for more than half a year. After being together for so long, they will develop feelings. But today, her parents suddenly came to the academy together and said that they wanted to process Xiao Qian's withdrawal from the academy.

"There is no way. The fetus in my wife's belly is a little unstable. Although Pujiang is good, our living environment is not good. My hometown is just a small county town, but the air is good, and there are mountains and rivers, which are good for physical and mental health."

Xiao Qian's father sighed.

Originally, their family of three drifted in Pujiang. The couple worked to earn money. Xiao Qian was in kindergarten during the day and went to Xiao Hong Ma Late Night Academy at night. The days were busy but warm and happy, but his wife was pregnant for 4 months.

The cost of living in Pujiang is so high. It is too tight for a man to earn money alone. So the couple discussed and decided that the wife and the child would go back to their hometown first. The child would go to school there, and the wife would rest assured to take care of the baby. There are elderly parents at home to take care of, which is more reassuring than in Pujiang, and the man will continue to stay here to work hard.

This not only saves living costs, but also helps the wife to take care of the baby.

"Will Xiao Qian come again in the future?" Aunt Huang asked reluctantly after the formalities were completed.

Xiao Qian's father said: "I don't know now."

But he said that it is very expensive for two children to live in Pujiang.

His hometown is in Ningbo, a small county town.

"I'm sorry to bother you for more than half a year. Xiao Qian is very happy here and has learned a lot of knowledge. Thank you." Xiao Qian's father said, and he and his wife bowed to Aunt Huang and Zhang Tan.

It is precisely because of the Little Red Horse Late Night School that they can work at night without worrying about the children being left alone at home.

They also know that the Little Red Horse Late Night School is operating at a loss, after all, the fees charged to them are very low.

"No need to say these polite words, this is what the school should do." Aunt Huang said.

"Then we're leaving, goodbye." Xiao Qian's father said.

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Zhang Tan and Aunt Huang sent them out.

After watching them go downstairs, Aunt Huang sighed, "I'm old, and I can't bear to see such a separation."

Zhang sighed, "You are still young, and Meimei hasn't even married yet."

Aunt Huang shook her head, not knowing whether she was speechless to Huang Meimei, or to her, or to her.

She sorted out the open filing cabinet, took out a big black leather notebook, picked up the fountain pen on the table, and wrote on it. Suddenly, she was surprised: "Oh, it's exactly the 500th."

"What do you mean exactly the 500th?" Zhang Tan looked at her black leather notebook.

"Xiao Qian is the 500th child to leave our kindergarten."

Zhang Tan was surprised: "500? Are there so many?"

Auntie Huang flipped through the thick notebook and said: "Yes, it has been more than three years. More than 100 children leave every year. The turnover is very high."

"Let me see."

Auntie Huang handed him the black leather notebook and said: "Unconsciously, there are so many children."

The notebook is very large and heavy. Zhang Tan flipped through it casually. It was full of Auntie Huang's handwriting. She wrote it word by word with a black fountain pen. Every child has the name, place of origin, age, gender, etc., and there are photos.

These photos are not the kind of ID photos, but the children's daily life photos. Each one is a smiling face, a very innocent smile.

It can be seen that the backgrounds were all taken at the Little Red Horse Academy, and all of them were shot with the academy gate as the background: a red galloping pony with four hooves raised, and in front of it, there were children with various expressions.

Some of them were shy, some were excited, some held back their laughter but still overflowed, some made scissors hands, some put their hands behind their backs, some tilted their heads, some stuck out their tongues, some laughed up to the sky, some had tears in their eyes but burst into laughter...

All kinds of expressions seemed to be right in front of them.

Zhang Tan looked at it and couldn't help but smile.

At this moment, he felt that this might be the meaning of the opening of the Little Red Horse Late Night Academy. No matter what kind of difficulties there are in life, children should not bear these, they just need to be responsible for being happy.

He turned to the latest page, and there was only one name for the time being, which was what Aunt Huang had just written:

Yao Yuexi...

This is Xiao Qian's real name.

Xiao Qian is just her nickname.

Zhang Tan didn't know why her father gave her a boy's name. Perhaps because of this, she was usually called by a nickname, so that many people didn't know her real name.

The door of the office was not closed, and the crying downstairs suddenly became louder. Zhang Tan looked up and looked out the window. It was already dark in the night, and there was a drizzle of rain hitting the leaves, and the sound was dense.

He returned the notebook to Aunt Huang and said, "I'll go downstairs to see how everyone is crying."

"Let's go, I'll go downstairs too."

The two went downstairs and saw the children gathered together, crying loudly.

Zhang Tan saw Xiaobai, Liuliu, Xiaomi, Tan Xier, Chengcheng, Luo Zikang...

Xiaoqian's face was full of tears. She hugged everyone tightly and didn't want to leave. She muttered, "I'm going to be a sister, but I'm leaving," "I don't want to be a sister anymore."

The teachers and Xiaoqian's parents were all comforting them, but it didn't work.

Zhang Tan thought of when he first came to the academy during the summer vacation, Xiaomi was about to be taken away, and everyone cried, and he was even bitten by Xiaobai. This time he didn't dare to join in the fun. Besides, there were so many idiots, and he couldn't comfort them alone.

Fortunately, Aunt Huang was very experienced. She held Xiao Qian, who was crying, in her arms and comforted her softly.

This was the eye of the storm. Only after comforting her could the other children control their emotions.

Zhang Tan saw Xiao Bai crying miserably and couldn't bear it, so he went over to rub her watermelon head.

When Xiao Bai saw him, she pouted and cried, "Uncle~~ Why is Xiao Qian leaving?? I don't want her to leave~~"

Just like Xiaomi last time, she was reluctant to let Xiao Qian go. Without waiting for Zhang Tan to come back, she ran to Aunt Huang and hugged her legs to prevent her from taking Xiao Qian away.

Aunt Huang: "..."

After a while of noisy, the children finally stopped crying with the comfort of everyone.

Xiao Qian said goodbye to everyone and waved her little hand. This time she was really leaving.

The children who had just been quiet cried again.

Xiao Qian's father didn't dare to stay any longer and left with Xiao Qian in his arms.

Under the cover of night, it started to rain outside...

"Xiao Qian~~~"

Jiang Bin broke through the teachers' defense line and chased to the eaves. Looking at Xiao Qian in her father's arms, he tried not to cry with tears in his eyes.

PS: One of the main plots of this book is to write about the families of Xiaohongma Academy from the perspective of Zhang Tan and Xiao Bai, welcoming and seeing off. Xiao Qian left, and everyone may be worried about whether Liuliu, Chengcheng and Xier will also leave at that time. Don't worry, I will write about this plot while ensuring that several main cute kids are there.

In addition, the book friend circle launched the "Kuakua Building" activity, where everyone goes to praise the characters in the book and share the starting point coins. It is an activity organized together with several big books, such as Night Watchman, Tribulation of All Races, etc. This is also a good publicity for the academy, and new book friends will find here through the through train. If Xiao Youzi participates, he should be invincible.
