Daddy Academy

Chapter 2703 Tell Your Story

"Don't cry, don't cry, crying is nothing, I'll buy you something to eat, do you want to eat it?"

In order to comfort Xiao Xiaobai who was still crying and wiping her tears, Xiaobai went to a street stall and bought some bayberries for her.

Xiao Xiaobai asked curiously what it was. She had never eaten bayberry and had never seen it before.

There's nothing I can do about it. I'm young and have little knowledge. You can call me a little fool.

Dudu came over and asked, "Is it sour?"

The aunt who was selling bayberries said in a loud voice that they were not sour at all. She picked a big, red bayberry and handed it to Dudu, asking her to taste it. If it was not sweet, she would not pay.

I put Dudu in my mouth and tasted it. It had a little sour taste, but more sweetness. It was also very moist and juicy, and very delicious.

“So sweet~”

When Xiaobai heard this, he said generously, "Then buy more, five kilograms, and bring it back for Xiwawa and the others to eat."

Three children were picking bayberries in a bamboo basket. In fact, only Dudu was picking them. The other aunt and nephew stupidly put all of them into the bag without any intention of picking.

In the end, he bought a big bag and weighed it, which was nearly six pounds. Xiaobai didn't plan to take some out, but instead added a little to make up the six pounds to take home.

On the way home, Xiaobai took a bayberry and gave it to her grandmother as if she was offering a treasure.

Of course, when I buy something good, I should give it to my grandma first.

Teacher Jiang thanked her, tasted it, and praised the bayberry for being indeed sweet and not very sour.

There are bayberry trees growing on the mountains nearby. Some people grow their own bayberry trees at home. The bayberries sold in the town are generally those grown in the mountains.

Xiao Xiaobai also grabbed a bayberry and gave it to Zhang Tan who was driving. Zhang Tan took it in his busy schedule and put it into his mouth without even looking at it. The expected sweetness was not there. Instead, a sour taste that stimulated the soul rushed into his mouth, and it was so sour that his nose, eyes and eyebrows were all wrinkled together.

"hiss--"

"What's going on? Is it not tasty?" Xiaobai heard him gasp and asked curiously.

Zhang Tan held back, opened the car window, spit out the bayberry in his mouth, and said, "It's delicious. I'll spit out the pit, you guys can try it too."

When Xiaobai heard the old man praising the delicious bayberries she bought, she felt a little proud. She grabbed one to taste herself and suddenly took a breath.

"Aunt, what's wrong with you? Is the food not tasty?" Xiao Xiaobai asked with concern, his eyes almost sticking to Xiaobai's face.

Xiao Bai pushed her face away and said, "It tastes good. You should try it too."

As she spoke, she grabbed a bayberry and stuffed it into Xiao Xiaobai's mouth.

Xiao Xiaobai's happiness didn't last for two seconds before she started to feel sour and tears came out, with saliva dripping from the corners of her mouth.

"It's so sour, so sour - I don't want to eat it!"

She quickly spat out the bayberry and cried because it was so sour.

Little white hiahia laughed and encouraged Dudu to eat one as well.

"You definitely didn't pick the good ones. Look, you should pick the dark red ones. Don't eat the green ones." Dudu said as he picked a dark red bayberry for himself. It was still very sweet and not sour at all.

Xiaobai and Xiaoxiaobai were both drinking water to dilute the sour taste in their mouths.

The car quickly arrived at Baijia Village, and soon after, we arrived home.

Xier ran out with a bowl of rice in her hand and stood under the eaves waiting for them.

"Are you back?"

"I'm back, I'm back~"

"Hiahia, it's so fun to go to the market. Look, Xier, I have new shoes, hiahia~~"

Xiao Xiaobai showed off his new shoes as soon as he got off the car.

“It’s really beautiful~”

Xier praised him, and then she saw her godfather appear dressed like a street urchin, and her eyes widened.

"Sister, come and see godfather, he doesn't look like a good person——"

Xier shouted into the house, and soon several children ran out and surrounded Zhang Tan.

Liuliu was admiring his flowery shirt while walking around Zhang Tan, touching him here and there.

"I know you are envious, but please don't be envious yet."

As Zhang Tan spoke, he carried the vegetables in the cart to the kitchen. Tan Jiner, who was busy in the kitchen, saw him coming, took a look, and then was stunned. She was obviously also surprised by Zhang Tan's flowered shirt, but only for a moment.

"How is it? Teacher Jiang bought it for me." Zhang Tan said with a hint of pride in his tone.

Tan Jin'er looked at it openly and said with a smile, "It fits well and looks good, but it's a little flowery."

Zhang Tan didn't mind at all and said with a smile: "Teacher Jiang said that only I can handle this kind of floral shirt. No one else can do it."

Tan Jin'er suppressed her laughter and said, "Yes, yes, yes, it suits you. What vegetables did you buy?"

She changed the subject.

Zhang sighed and said, "Here is part of it. I'll get the rest. They are all in the car."

He went to the yard and took out all the vegetables from the car. He saw Xiaobai distributing bayberries to his friends.

"Delicious bayberries, come on, come on, everyone has a share. Liuliu, I'll give you a big one. It's delicious and not sour at all. Come here, my dear. Sweet bayberries..."

Zhang Tan took a look and saw that Liuliu had picked up a really big bayberry, but the color was a little green and looked very sour.

He didn't remind me. After all, life is full of ups and downs, and one should taste every flavor.

Especially for Liuliu, who has had such a sweet life since childhood, it’s time for her to try other flavors.

So Zhang Tan gave her a look that told her to go ahead bravely, and left silently.

As soon as I walked into the living room, I heard Liuliu's screams like a pig being slaughtered coming from the yard.

When he walked to the kitchen door, Xiaobai suddenly jumped past him, and then Liuliu followed him.

"I'm going to fight with you, Xiaohuahua--" Liuliu shouted.

When Zhang Tan walked into the kitchen, Xiaobai and Liuliu had already run to the backyard, shouting and fighting.

Xiwawa, Dudu, Xiaoxiaobai and others also rushed through the kitchen and rushed to the backyard.

After a while of trouble, the group finally calmed down.

Zhang Tan stayed in the kitchen to help Tan Jiner and Teacher Jiang pack up the purchased vegetables and prepare for lunch.

"Oh no, oh no, Boss Zhang, oh no—" Liuliu ran over in a hurry and said in a panic.

Zhang Tan put down the kitchen knife in his hand and asked, "What's wrong?"

Liuliu looked at the kitchen knife in his hand with fear and said, "The village chief brought people with weapons and attacked us - did you do something bad and let everyone find out?"

Zhang Tan said angrily: "Can't you think of something good? Why must I have done something bad? Can't it be you? I think it's you!"

After saying that, he walked out of the kitchen and came to the yard. Sure enough, he saw the village chief and a group of people, carrying hoes, hammers and other things, crossing the small bridge and about to come home.

Zhang Tan saw Liuliu following him with a fire stick, and said helplessly, "Why are you still picking up weapons? Give the fire stick back. We are not fighting. The village chief is here to help us repair the yard."

"Repairing the yard?" Liuliu asked.

"Yes, didn't I tell you last night? Don't you remember it?" Zhang Tan said.

"I remember, I remember! Now I remember, it was to repair the yard. Hey, this is a good deed. Why didn't you tell me earlier? Look at the way you did it. I don't know what you are doing!"

After Liuliu shirked her responsibility, she ran back home, returned the fire stick, and came back with a washbasin. Behind her, Xiao Xiaobai also followed, holding an aluminum washbasin in his hand.

The two men banged on the basins, making a deafening noise, and said enthusiastically to the village chief who walked into the yard: "Welcome, welcome! Warm welcome!!!"

Xiaobai carried a camera and filmed the village chief and his entourage.

Dudu, Xier and others served tea and water.

The scene was full of enthusiasm and the village chief was flattered. He did not expect that there would be a welcoming ceremony, and such a grand one at that.

“You’re welcome, you’re welcome, no need to take pictures, no need to take pictures, it doesn’t look good, hahaha~~~” the village chief said reservedly.

"Then I won't take pictures~" Xiaobai followed the advice and really stopped taking pictures.

The village chief actually felt a little disappointed, and he couldn't understand why he felt that way.

The villagers came to work with their tools. In the distance, a small truck was approaching, carrying bricks, cement and other materials.

Zhang Tan was busy discussing with everyone how to build the wall, while the children were milling around, extremely curious. Bai Feng and his younger brothers also came over. As for Bai Guagua, he had heard the news and came early.

The yard was bustling with activity, but Cheng Cheng didn't like a noisy home. She preferred a quiet environment, so she stayed alone in her room, writing and drawing in her notebook.

Xiao Xiaobai was sitting next to her, playing games on her tablet, and as an obligation, she needed to answer Cheng Cheng's questions.

"One of your shoes fell off this morning, and then you lost the other one, right?" Cheng Cheng asked.

Xiao Xiaobai stared at the tablet and answered, "Yes, we looked for it for a long time but couldn't find it. Then my aunt said, Xiao Xiaobai, throw away the other shoe as well, so that whoever finds it can make a pair and wear it..."

Cheng Cheng's eyes lit up and he wrote quickly in his notebook.

Not long after, she finished writing a short story, walked out of the room, came to the yard, found Xiaobai who was distributing bayberries to Baifeng and others, and said, "Xiaobai, Xiaobai, come here quickly~"
