Old Man Zhao, the legendary healer of Xinghua Village!

Zhao Dazhu couldn't help but say, "I thought it was something serious, but it turns out it's just this."

Wang Jiajia glared at Zhao Dazhu before continuing, "The key is that there's a parent-teacher meeting tonight. The homeroom teacher will definitely talk about the exams at the meeting. If my mom finds out, she'll most likely be heartbroken."

After saying this, Wang Jiajia looked dejected and kept sighing.

Zhao Dazhu felt a little sorry for him.

Wang Jiajia is only thirteen years old and in the first year of junior high school, yet she already has such great academic pressure. This is truly... No wonder there are more and more children suffering from depression these days, and there are frequent incidents of students jumping off buildings.

With such immense academic pressure, many children will definitely struggle to cope!

After all, not all children are academically gifted, nor are all children mentally strong or resilient enough to handle pressure.

"I don't know how to tell my mom. I... I don't want to tell her, but I can't stop her from going to the parent-teacher conference. Our school is very strict. If parents don't go to the conference, the homeroom teacher will definitely call to ask why, and then... I won't be able to explain it." Wang Jiajia said, looking very troubled.

Thinking of this, Zhao Dazhu said, "Why don't you just find someone to attend the parent-teacher conference for you?"

"I also want to find someone to help me attend the parent-teacher conference, but who can I ask? I don't have any relatives, and even if I did, I wouldn't dare ask them for help. My mom would find out sooner or later, so it's better to just have my mom go..."

At this point, Wang Jiajia's eyes suddenly lit up.

Her big eyes were fixed on Zhao Dazhu in front of her. The next second, she lunged forward, grabbed Zhao Dazhu's hand, and said, "Uncle Zhao, can you help me with my parent-teacher conference? Just say you're my grandpa, and our homeroom teacher definitely won't suspect you!"

Zhao Dazhu was startled and instinctively shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, how can I attend your parent-teacher conference? I'm not your family."

Wang Jiajia hugged Zhao Dazhu's arm and said sweetly, "Uncle Zhao, although you're not family to me, you're not much different from my family."

"You live right next door to me, we see each other all the time, and you're so close to my mom, you visit her all the time, you know my family situation perfectly, you're definitely the best person to attend my parent-teacher conference..."

"This...this..." Zhao Dazhu didn't know what to say for a moment.

Wang Jiajia continued, "Uncle Zhao, please help me. I really had no other choice but to come to you. You can't just stand by and do nothing."

After a pause, Wang Jiajia blushed and said shyly, "And in my eyes, you really are like my own grandfather. I've even thought about how wonderful it would be if you were my own grandfather..."

Wang Jiajia has already said all this, what else can Zhao Dazhu do?

He really couldn't bring himself to refuse this lovely young girl.

"Grandpa Zhao..."

Wang Jiajia called out in a coquettish tone, and kept shaking Zhao Dazhu's arm.

Zhao Dazhu felt as if all the bones in his body had softened, and his heart trembled.

"Okay, okay, I promise, I promise you, alright?" Zhao Dazhu quickly said.

"That's great! Thank you, Uncle Zhao!" Wang Jiajia said happily.

Zhao Dazhu thought for a moment and then asked, "When does your school's parent-teacher conference start?"

"Seven o'clock tonight," Wang Jiajia replied.

"Okay, I'll be at your school at 6:40. You can wait for me at the school gate then," Zhao Dazhu said.

"Okay, then it's settled. Uncle Zhao, you can't stand me up. If you don't keep your word, I'll... I'll never talk to you again!" Wang Jiajia said, adding a snort.

"Don't worry, don't worry. Since I've already promised you, I'll definitely keep my word and won't stand you up," Zhao Dazhu said with a wry smile.

Just then, a bus came from a distance, so Wang Jiajia stopped lingering there.

She ran excitedly towards the bus, and after boarding, she stood near the bus door waving and shouting, "Uncle Zhao, you really have to come! If you don't, I'm really going to be in trouble!"

"I will definitely go, you can rest assured," Zhao Dazhu shouted.

The bus doors slammed shut with a hiss and the bus wobbled away into the distance.

Zhao Dazhu then stopped wasting time near the grove and strode towards the village supermarket.

After buying groceries, Zhao Dazhu returned home and put all the vegetables he had just bought into the refrigerator. Then, somewhat awkwardly, he went into his room.

Li Yujiao was certainly not asleep; she was lying on the bed playing on her phone.

Moreover, she was still completely naked, just like before, her fair and rounded shoulders exposed to the air, making Zhao Dazhu's mouth dry.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that Zhao Dazhu's expression seemed a bit off, Li Yujiao took the initiative to ask him.

Zhao Dazhu scratched his head and said with a embarrassed look, "I was supposed to cook tonight, but now I can't."

"What happened? Did the village chief give you trouble?" Li Yujiao asked hurriedly.

"It has nothing to do with the village chief; it's Wang Caixia's daughter's business," Zhao Dazhu said.

Hearing this, Li Yujiao became even more puzzled.

Wang Caixia's daughter is only thirteen years old and is in the first year of junior high school at a boarding school in the county. How could such a young girl have any connection with Zhao Dazhu?

Seeing that Li Yujiao was full of question marks, Zhao Dazhu briefly explained that he had promised Wang Jiajia to go to the county town to help her attend the parent-teacher conference.

After hearing this, Li Yujiao had an expression that was both amused and annoyed: "You're not her grandfather, why are you holding a parent-teacher conference for her? What if Wang Caixia finds out later? She'll definitely be angry with you. Aren't you just being stubborn and getting yourself into trouble?"

Zhao Dazhu rubbed his hands together, looking very troubled, and said, "But I have no choice. Jiajia is clinging to my arm, begging me to attend her parent-teacher conference. She looks so aggrieved, like she's about to cry. What can I do? I... I just can't bring myself to do it."

"Besides, it's too late to say anything now; I've already promised them."

Li Yujiao said irritably, "Then go ahead, but don't blame me if Wang Caixia causes you trouble in the future."

"I definitely don't blame you. It's not your fault. I'm not the kind of person who would shift the blame onto someone else." Zhao Dazhu shook his head repeatedly.

At six o'clock, Zhao Dazhu set off for the county town.

Before 6:30, Zhao Dazhu was already standing at the school gate of Hongfeng Middle School.

Because it wasn't the agreed time yet, Zhao Dazhu didn't see Wang Jiajia at the school gate.
