The plane streaked across the sky, leaving a beautiful trail of clouds.

Xu Fan and Zhao Feiyang spent two days in Hangzhou before boarding a plane to Chengdu.

They landed at noon. After leaving the airport, the two first had a simple Sichuan meal before taking a taxi to the main urban area of ​​Chengdu.

I strolled around Kuanzhai Alley, and then passed by Chunxi Road to take a look at the crowds of people dressed in all sorts of beautiful clothes.

Actually, every place has such lively spots; there's nothing particularly special about them.

Zhao Feiyang checked the time and said, "The children will be getting out of class soon, so it should be just in time for us to go now."

Xu Fan hummed in agreement, and the two tossed and turned again before finally arriving at the school.

Goodbye, Xiao Ran, she's still as charming as ever.

Her long, flowing hair cascaded over her shoulders, and she wore a white dress in the sunlight, looking as beautiful as Snow White.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Li Xiaoran smiled, and Xu Fan nodded, saying, "Really? It's only been a few months."

Zhao Feiyang chimed in, "Can't we stop being so artsy? When old friends meet, can't we be a little more normal?"

puff!

Li Xiaoran covered her lips and laughed.

Xu Fan shook his head helplessly. The fat man stepped forward and asked, "Where are Bean Sprout and the others?"

Li Xiaoran said with a smile, "We're still in class, it should be over soon."

The fat man stepped forward and looked around, his eyes darting from the window, clearly hoping to see the children he longed for.

Xu Fan said, "If I remember correctly, you should be going back to school by now."

Li Xiaoran nodded and said, "Okay, let's send the children back."

Xu Fan looked at the fat man and said, "You've worked hard these past few days."

Li Xiaoran gently smoothed her bangs and said, "The disaster area is being rebuilt, and the children are in much better spirits. Especially these past few days, I've seen them smile more often than before. It's actually quite good. I wouldn't call it hardship; it's all about the same."

Xu Fan hummed in agreement, and Li Xiaoran continued, "These past few days, the children have asked me to play your piece 'Tick Tock' for them every day. They really love it. Also, they really miss you, so they always like to watch TV. I've already tried to talk to them about it, but they say they want to watch TV because they want to see you."

Xu Fan was stunned for a moment, as if something had stabbed his heart, causing a slight pain.

Just then, the fat man in the distance had already picked up the child.

As soon as the bell rang, the children happily ran out of the classroom after the teacher came out.

Because Teacher Xiao Ran said that after school today, I can go see my older brother.

When the children came out, they saw a fat man.

The boy at the front stared wide-eyed, covering his mouth with one hand, and said in disbelief, "Come quick, look! Fatty's here! He's gotten even fatter! So fat! Hahaha!"

The children laughed innocently and then swarmed around them.

Zhao Feiyang was speechless, but seeing the children's bright smiles, he suddenly smiled too.

He called out, "Fatty, Bean Sprout, Century Egg, Dog Egg, and oh dear, and what's that, Flower Roll and Steamed Bun, come over here quickly."

Another burst of laughter erupted as the children surrounded Zhao Feiyang, and then, led by him, walked outside again.

The children instinctively stopped in their tracks.

Hearing the children's voices, Xu Fan turned around and looked over.

The children ran towards Xu Fan, shouting that their big brother was here.

The fat man stood there empty-handed.

Just because I'm fat, you can abandon me?

===Chapter 175 A Hot Pot Meal===

"Big brother, you've finally come to see us."

"Big brother, are you really my big brother? I'm so happy to finally see you again!"

"Teacher Xiao Ran didn't lie to us, Brother Fanfan really came."

"Brother Fanfan, I got a perfect score on my test before I came here. How about that? Pretty impressive, right?"

"Brother Fanfan, I want to hear you sing. The tape recorder at home is broken, and I haven't been able to sleep for a long time because I can't hear you sing."

The children surrounded Xu Fan, chattering away. Xu Fan listened to every word, feeling a deep sadness in his heart. He didn't know why he felt so bad.

The fat man still remembered the children's nicknames; he really deserved to die.

Apart from the girl with braids, whom I remember quite well, I really don't remember the names of the others.

Of course, he knew who each child was, because he had talked to each of them very seriously before.

The fat man was lonely and felt wronged, but when the children gathered around, they pulled him back together.

He even pulled Li Xiaoran over, and the fat man laughed happily as the children danced in a circle.

The children surrounded the three people, laughing happily.

Several teachers passing by in the distance witnessed this scene and were all slightly taken aback.

Among them was Teacher Yang, who said to the teacher next to her, "Those children from the mountains are actually very cute. They are not stupid, but they have not learned enough knowledge since childhood. Fortunately, they have met a good teacher."

A teacher nearby said, "They are working very hard, and I have high hopes for their future."

The group chatted casually as they walked away into the distance.

As Xu Fan listened to the children's lively laughter and simple expressions, he suddenly remembered the question he had asked Shui'er after taking her to school that day.

So he asked, "Children, what have you learned here?"

Last time, Shui'er said she learned two phrases: "Hello, teacher" and "Goodbye, teacher."

This time, Fatty said: I've learned the multiplication tables, and I can even do two-digit multiplication tables now. My teacher taught me many different methods.

Pidan said: Three days make Jing, three people make Zhong, three trees make Sen, and three golds make Xin.

Bean Sprout said: Spring is here, the flowers are blooming, and there's something else I forgot.

Dog Egg said: Teacher Yang is so beautiful.

Xu Fan laughed, Li Xiaoran laughed, and the fat man laughed too.

The children laughed along with them.

Life is actually so beautiful. Children's ideas are always so innocent, but it is precisely because of their innocence that they are beautiful.

Chengdu is located in southwestern China.

This city is much more relaxed compared to Zhonghai.

Mahjong, drinking tea, and getting your ears cleaned.

Facial makeup, Sichuan cuisine, hot pot.

The wind in Chengdu was warm. Xu Fan and his two companions led the children out of the school gate and walked through this somewhat unfamiliar city.

Xiao Ran is a native of Chengdu, but this is Xu Fan's first time here.

This was also the first time for the children and Zhao Feiyang.

Zhao Feiyang walked in front, Xiao Ran walked in the middle, and Xu Fan brought up the rear.

The children are well protected.

Each child carried a brand new backpack, and when Xu Fan asked, they would happily say that Teacher Xiao Ran had bought it for them.

Li Xiaoran had booked a private room long ago, which was not far from the school.

There was no need to take a car, so they walked there.

They were planning to go out for hot pot.

In Chengdu, the best and most special way to meet or part is with a hot pot meal.

The bubbling red soup, paired with seasonings of scallions, cilantro, and minced garlic, and topped with sesame oil, tastes absolutely wonderful.

In addition, there is a saying that has been passed down in the minds of many people.

There's nothing in this world that a hot pot meal can't solve; if there is, then two meals will do.

Xu Fan said goodbye to the children, and Xiao Ran was about to say goodbye to them as well.

Whether it's meeting or parting, a hot pot meal is always the best way to celebrate.

The hot pot restaurant was crowded. Fortunately, Xiao Ran had booked a private room on the second floor. A group of children crowded around two tables. Xu Fan reminded them, "Be careful, the hot pot is very hot, eat slowly."

The children agreed; these children from the mountain villages mature early.

Although they are young, they all look quite experienced.

Perhaps this word isn't very practical for these children, but their innocent faces always show a serious and sensible nature.

Everyone carefully held their bowls, plates, and chopsticks, and according to their own ideas, they followed Teacher Xiao Ran's instructions to prepare their own condiment bowls little by little.

Xu Fan and the other two would also help, tearing open the sesame oil packets for the children and pouring the oil in.

The children were very happy. Xu Fan didn't order all the spicy hot pot; he ordered a mushroom soup hot pot instead.

Perhaps the people in this city say that the final compromise is mild spice, but the children are still young, and he is worried that they will not be used to it.

We only ordered the mildly spicy soup, which was enough for the kids.

Once the bottom of the pot was served, the children sat together.

The bubbling red and white broths each flaunt their own flavor. The steaming pot is filled with aroma; the clear broth is crystal clear, while the red broth is vibrant red. The tripe, dipped seven or eight times in the broth, already looks mouthwatering, not to mention the perfect balance of tenderness and firmness when you take a bite…

It's fiery hot upon first bite, burning your tongue, but the next bite is incredibly tender and flavorful, leaving you wanting more.

Beef balls tumble in the scalding red broth, while freshly sliced ​​lamb is just about to cook in the nourishing mushroom broth. Once cooked, pick them up, dip them in the sauce, and enjoy their rich, tender flavor. The children eagerly scramble to cook the vegetables.

At that moment, Xu Fan and the children were happy.

It was a bit noisy, but mostly it was fun.

Li Xiaoran kept reminding the children to be careful. Xu Fan asked for a lot of aprons, and the three of them carefully put them on the children. They gave them a few more instructions, and of course, they didn't forget to eat hot pot themselves.
