I will never give in to Miss Death

At this time, Yin Xiamo's voice came from the headset: "How is it? Do you need my help? The store manager helped me defend my rights before, and I got a lot of compensation after buying bedding."

"No, no, I can handle it myself."

I thought about it for a moment, searched my phone, and dialed the phone number of Li Denghua’s mother that I had saved earlier.

"Hello, this is what I mean..."

"..."

After spending some time explaining Li Denghua's situation, I asked with some concern, "What is the current situation with your child and the school?"

"That's it..."

Li Denghua's mother was silent for a few seconds on the other end of the phone: "I remember that Xingguang Primary School does have evening self-study classes. Today is Mother's Day, and the school seems to be holding some activities... But I don't know what the 'butterfly' Denghua mentioned is, and I don't remember there being such a person in their class."

"Otherwise."

After a while, Li Denghua's mother said, "I am here to accompany my child to her father's lecture. If you have time, you can use the child's school badge to go into the school and have a look. It doesn't matter if you can't find out. We parents will handle the follow-up matters."

"..."

……

No. 144 Rabbit! Rabbit! Cardboard box!

I found that it was a bit strange that Li Denghua had to go to school by herself to help "find someone".

Or rather, there's just something wrong with Li Denghua's family.

When I first came to the coffee shop, the relationship between Li Denghua and her mother gave me a... very subtle feeling, as if Li Denghua knew that I was the "sister" of her "savior" and was so polite and well-behaved out of moral cognition, and had nothing to do with her mother.

Li Denghua’s mother seemed unable to “control” Li Denghua at all, and the two of them lacked the warmth that one would find in an ordinary family as a mother and daughter.

In most families, daughters are generally closer to their mothers, like a sweet and caring little cotton-padded jacket. Usually when a daughter makes a mistake, it is usually the father who plays the bad guy and blames her, while the mother is responsible for persuading her. Over time, girls from elementary school to junior high school will basically be very close to their mothers.

But that’s not the case with Li Denghua.

How should I put it? This child seems to be a little too precocious, and Li Denghua's mother seems to have no clear goal in educating her daughter. It seems like... she is "respectful" to her daughter and "letting her grow up freely."

Considering that when she came to the coffee shop with Lu Xinjian before, Li Denghua stood on the side of Lu Xinjian and his daughter the whole time and left her mother aside, it is not difficult for me to imagine that there must be some kind of gap between them.

This is probably the disadvantage of high IQ and liberal education.

As for the fact that Li Denghua's mother asked me to help with her tutoring, I also found it a bit strange. If Li Denghua's situation was true and she really had deficiencies in Chinese and English, her mother's request was actually not difficult to understand - her daughter's eyes had just been restored after surgery, and she had been in the hospital for so long that her former good friends might have gone to study in other places. In addition, her former classmates at Xingguang Primary School had all gone to junior high school. After the surgery, it could be said that Li Denghua had lost all her peers with whom she could talk.

When I was in college, I once heard my roommate tell stories about his childhood when I turned off the lights and went to bed at night. He was a very cheerful person. He grew up in the same courtyard with three or four other friends. They were all of the same age and went to the same school. But that day he was hospitalized for more than half a year due to a serious illness. His friends all went to study in other places, so he could only play alone and his personality became introverted.

I suspect that Li Denghua is in this situation, or she doesn't even have any childhood friends and has always been alone.

Then Lu Xinjian found their home and explained the situation of my "lifesaver" sister to Li Denghua's mother. Li Denghua's mother then decided to let me accompany her daughter.

The logic here is very obvious. Generally speaking, a genius child like Li Denghua must have more or less "contempt" for their peers. Every night when everyone goes downstairs to play in the mud, Li Denghua stays alone in the room studying academic problems. The two sides have different interests and hobbies. It is definitely not possible to ask peers to help with Li Denghua's academic imbalance. But if you ask a real college student, you are afraid that your daughter will rebel. I just meet these two conditions.

So... Li Denghua's mother asked me to tutor her daughter for two reasons. The first was that she hoped to find a good friend for her daughter, but this good friend could not be someone of the same age, because if it was someone of the same age, her daughter would dislike the other person for being childish. It happened that I was short and looked like an elementary school student, but I was an adult and easy to communicate with, so she chose me at first sight. The second was that after hearing Lu Xinjian's story about my situation, Li Denghua's mother wanted to repay my "brother" for donating his corneas.

Lu Xinjian definitely investigated me and must have asked Elodie about my situation. He knew that I was very poor, so when he brought Li Denghua's mother here, he must have vaguely mentioned the fact that "Yin Nuoer was very short of money."

This was the direct factor that led Li Denghua's family to decide to let me tutor their daughter.

If you trace it back, the whole thing goes back to Miss Death.

If Yin Xiamo hadn't killed me, the old man that I was, and if she hadn't taken my body to the hospital and donated my corneas, I wouldn't have this kind of... "tutoring" that's like a repayment.

But to be honest, I don't think Li Denghua's Chinese and English are so weak that she needs a tutor. If she is a senior high school student who needs tutoring, I believe it, but elementary school... Chinese and English in elementary school are still in the literacy stage. Chinese is basically about creating characters, forming words, writing synonyms and antonyms, and memorizing ancient poems, letters aoeiuv, ​​etc., and English is about phonetic symbols and ABCD. If she doesn't even know these, there is no reason why she can understand those advanced academic papers.

So this matter... is very strange.

"Ma'am, are you sure you want me to go to school?"

In the slightly cool coffee shop, I was a little confused when Li Denghua's mother replied on the phone: "Is it really okay to impersonate someone else like this?"

"Denghua is a difficult child to manage right now. She lives away from home and doesn't have to go to the evening study session tonight. But the fact that she is willing to discuss this with you shows that she trusts you."

Li Denghua's mother's tone didn't sound like she was joking: "Of course, if you're really too busy, forget it. Children are more willful. I'm very sorry to cause you trouble."

Hmm...how should I answer this?

"Can you give me some time to think about it?"

I hesitated for a moment and decided not to make it too final: "I want to see if I can spare some time in the evening."

Xingguang Primary School is just behind Elodie's rental house, and it doesn't take much time to walk there. The evening self-study session is at 7:30 in the evening. If I really want to go, I have to leave the coffee shop at 7 o'clock, change clothes, and then go to the primary school to look for the legendary "butterfly".

Maybe... I need to ask Ouyang Xue for an hour off?

"Ok."

Li Denghua's mother seemed relieved on the other end of the phone: "I'm really sorry to trouble you, our child..."

"It's okay, all kids of this age are like this. I was like this when I was a kid, too."

I comforted him, "It's not a big deal. I'll go in and ask their teacher what's going on."

"Uh-huh, I'm so sorry..."

"It's really okay, um... by the way, Happy Mother's Day!"

"Thank you."

"..."

After hanging up the phone, I looked around and trotted down from the second floor.

"Xia Mo."

In the pet area on the first floor, I walked up to Yin Xiamo and gestured to her about the elementary school uniform in my arms: "What should we do about Li Denghua?"

"Ok?"

The girl in front of him just took a look at the clothes and asked curiously: "That little loli gave you this?"

"no……"

I briefly explained Li Denghua's request.

"I have no experience dealing with children. You've lived a long time. How do you think I should handle something like this?"

I held the clothes in my arms and felt a headache coming on: "Why doesn't Denghua want to go back to school?"

"Oh?"

Yin Xiamo showed a happy expression: "When the little pet encountered difficulties, its first reaction was to come to me for consultation? It seems that it has gradually gotten used to the fact that it is a little girl and needs to be taken care of!"

"What a mess!"

I felt the hair on my head stand up again. “I am seriously asking for your opinion!”

"As a wife or as the child's mother?"

"Is there no third option? And when will we have a child?"

"Then... as a girlfriend?"

"As a tough guy!"

If there was a mirror nearby, I would probably be able to see a “井” character on my forehead: “Okay, tell me your opinion.”

"Children are very innocent. Since Li Denghua is a boarding student, she doesn't have to go to evening self-study on Saturdays, but she let you into her own school. Considering the child's situation, it is estimated that something happened in the school before she became blind. After her eyes recovered, she wanted to confirm it, but she didn't dare to go for some reason. And Butterfly is probably the key person."

Yin Xiamo thought for a moment and said, "Other people's mothers have said it's okay, so it's okay for you to try it, Nuo'er. I'll help you watch over the coffee shop."

"It really doesn't matter?"

I was a little confused: "Why do I always feel that Xiaomo, you are...trying to get me into school."

"of course."

In response, the girl in front of her did not hide the fact at all: "I am so happy to see Nuoer wearing elementary school clothes!"

really……

"So Nuo'er, just go and give it a try. You have your ID card and your cell phone. It's okay. At most you can explain the situation to the teacher there."

Yin Xiamo said in an instigating tone: "You can also get a set of clothes for free."

"Why would I want elementary school students' clothes?"

"But this suit clearly looks like it was made specifically for you. Look at the height number above, 130/140. Li Denghua is nearly 150 centimeters tall, so she can't wear it."

"Xia Mo..."

"Hi?"

"So who is the person who made me so short?"

I put the uniform and school card in my arms on the cat climbing frame and pushed Yin Xiamo to the corner. "If there is a hell in the other world, lolita lovers should go to hell, right?"

"There are succubi in Hell, and this is a peaceful time, eh?"

The girl in his arms looked aggrieved: "Since it is a peaceful and prosperous era, if we want to create a body, we definitely don't need to consider attributes such as strength and health. Isn't cute enough? In peacetime, beautiful children are the most popular."

"Ok?"

I thought for a moment and asked, “Is that what you think?”

"You haven't asked me what would happen if this was a war-torn world!"

"If this is a war-torn world, will you make me into an uncle?"

"No, I will still turn you into a little loli and protect you."

"It's the same as not saying anything."

"..."

After some "persuasion" from Yin Xiamo, I finally made a decision - to go to Xingguang Primary School.

"Madam, I will go to your daughter's school at 7:30 tonight to see if I can find the person she mentioned. If I can't find her, I will explain it to their teacher."

I called Li Denghua's mother and asked, "Do you think this is okay?"

"Okay, sure, sure. Thank you."

You can tell that the mother is very happy. She feels... how should I put it? It's like the happiness of seeing her autistic child suddenly start talking and make friends.

After solving this problem, I went to the kitchen and found Jiang Wei and his girlfriend Ye Zi who were talking with Master Wang.

"Don't look down on me. With just these few dishes, I can make at least five different flavors for you!"

Jiang Wei seemed to be having a very pleasant chat with Master Wang. The two of them were drinking wine and chatting in the kitchen.

"When I was the head chef at that hotel in the city, not to mention small weddings, even when the deputy mayor entertained the leader of some country and booked the hotel for the whole place, most of the dishes were cooked by me."

Seeing me come in, Master Wang waved his hand and said, "Nuo'er, your friend is quite interesting. He even knows how to cook."

Eh? Jiang Wei? Do you know how to cook?

"After all, I also learned to be a chef for a few months at my own expense."

Jiang Wei laughed: "Brother, don't look at me like this. After I made money, I taught myself a lot of things to avoid unemployment. I first applied for a chef exam, then studied computer science, and finally attended a school that taught excavators for a few months. Now, if you ask me to control an excavator with a computer, I think I can cook!"

"Good fellow, you are bragging, right?"

Master Wang obviously liked Jiang Wei's character: "Then let's put it this way. When the time comes, just send me the dishes you need and I'll ask Xiao Li to prepare them in advance. When my brother gets married, I will definitely come to help with the venue and all aspects."

"Easy to say."

Jiang Wei drank the wine in the disposable bowl in front of him: "With Brother Wang's words, Jiang Mou is very grateful."

"What are you doing? Are you guys swearing brotherhood in Peach Garden?"

I walked in with a smile on my face: "Have you finished talking about it? What did Sister Ouyang say?"

"Sister Ouyang said that since you are Nuo'er's friend, you can book the place from the afternoon to the evening for 8888."

Master Wang also drank the wine in his hand: "Because this is the first time our coffee shop has been booked out, and it is a wedding, so we can make it more festive."

Ah... Anyway, it's good that you guys reach an agreement.

I'm just an ordinary waiter, and all I can do at that time is serve the food.

After confirming that there was no problem with Jiang Wei, I went back to the second floor and simply cleaned up the various milk tea and coffee cups left over by the customers. Then I called Ouyang Xue and explained my idea of ​​taking an hour off in the evening.

"You don't need to ask me for permission for such a small matter. In our store, an hour is not called a leave, it's called a rest."
