Daddy Academy

Chapter 2827 Good friends should be happy for each other

In the afternoon, Zhang Tan appeared outside the school on time to pick up Xiaobai and Xier from school.

But no matter how long he waited, no one came out, until Dudu ran out and told him that Xiaobai and the others were practicing raising the national flag on the playground and would be back later.

"Raising the flag?"

Zhang Tan was puzzled and was led into the school by Dudu. The security captain Sun Kang who was guarding the door smiled at Zhang Tan and greeted him.

Zhang Tan also nodded to the other party and explained his purpose.

Sun Kang said he knew and invited him in.

Everyone knows Zhang Tan. He is a well-known figure in their school, and his daughter Xiaobai is even more so.

He, Sun Kang, is Liuliu's enemy.

Zhang Tan saw Xiaobai and others on the playground. Xier was also there, as well as Teacher Wu Mei and two other older elementary school students.

In addition, there was a chubby voice, it was the principal Li Tao.

A group of people are practicing raising the national flag.

Dudu told Zhang Tan that Xiaobai, Liuliu and Xiaomi became the flag-raisers and would perform in front of all the teachers and students in the school next Monday.

Zhang Tan's appearance did not attract the attention of the other children, as they were concentrating on learning how to raise the national flag.

Only the principal Li Tao and the class teacher Wu Mei noticed Zhang Tan's appearance. Li Tao walked over, stood beside Zhang Tan, chatted with him, and introduced the situation.

"Xiaobai, Xiaomi, and Liuliu are all good kids with excellent academic performance. With everyone's unanimous recommendation, we invite them to the flag-raising ceremony next Monday. They are very dedicated and are practicing hard..."

Everyone likes to hear nice words. Zhang Tan said he appreciated it very much and was praising Xiaobai.

However, when I heard the words "excellent in both moral character and academic performance", I still couldn't help but feel a little strange, as the word "excellent in academic performance" seemed a bit forced.

Zhang Tan noticed that Xiaobai and the other two were standing in this position, with Liuliu in the middle, Xiaobai and Xiaomi standing on each side, with a clear division of labor.

The one who raised the national flag was Liuliu, and the ones standing guard on the side were Xiaobai and Xiaomi.

Liuliu was so happy that she almost laughed out loud.

Xiaomi looked solemn.

Xiaobai looked stern and a little unhappy.

Dudu and Xier also stood aside to watch the ceremony, especially Dudu, who faced the rising national flag, with his body straight and his chest puffed out. His eyes slowly moved upwards as the flag was rising, and he saluted the flag.

When the national flag reached its zenith, the national anthem had not yet ended.

An older elementary school student nearby said, "Liuli, you're raising the flag too fast. The flag has already reached the top before the national anthem is over. You need to go slower."

Xiaobai immediately said, "Liuli, if you can't do it, let me do it."

Liuliu pretended not to hear what Xiaobai said, and said, "I won't go fast next time."

The group practiced several times, and Liuliu gradually mastered the rhythm. The flag-raising movements became more and more skillful, and she was able to find the beat with the national anthem.

The sun is about to set, and today's practice ends here.

The principal and teacher Wu Mei separated from them and left. Zhang Tan led Xiaobai and the others out of the school.

Liuliu looked excited and chattered non-stop.

Xiaobai was silent.

After returning home, Zhang Tan also noticed that Xiaobai was not in a good mood, so he went to talk to her and found out that she was upset about not becoming the flag-raiser.

Zhang Tan encouraged her not to be discouraged. If she didn’t get selected this time, she should try harder next time. Isn’t there a flag-raising ceremony every week?
"Your competitor is not Liuliu, but other kids in the higher grades. As long as you perform well enough, you will have plenty of opportunities in the future."

Xiao Bai thought about it, figured it out, nodded, and took the initiative to say: "Liuli's performance today was very good. She is qualified to be the flag-raiser. I am not jealous of her anymore."

Zhang Tan was very pleased. It was great that his daughter thought this way.

But what Xiaobai said next really surprised him.

"Old man, let's donate money to the school and build an automatic flagpole, so that the flag will not rise too fast and too slow at times."

Zhang Tan thought about this problem seriously, and at the same time was pleased with Xiaobai's idea. His Xiaobai was indeed growing up.

However, Xiao Bai then said: "In this way, Principal Li Tao will definitely let me be the flag-raiser."

Zhang Tan: "..."

My dear, it would have been much better if you hadn't said the following sentence. Why did you add to it? I was almost moved, but in the end...

Zhang sighed in silence.

In the evening, after dinner, Liuliu came to the Little Red Horse Academy. The first thing she went to find Xiaobai was to give her a roasted sweet potato.

The roasted sweet potatoes were steaming hot. He said he had just bought them under the overpass on West Chang'an Street and spent several dollars on them.

Liuliu, who was already poor, was made even worse and was on the verge of bankruptcy.

But she still spent money to buy a sweet potato. She couldn't bear to eat a single bite herself, so she gave it directly to Xiaobai and asked Xiaobai to eat it.

She didn't say why she gave it to Xiaobai. Given her greedy personality, this was very unusual.

But everyone seems to know why Liuliu did this.

Xiaobai looked at the roasted sweet potatoes, then at Durian, and smiled.

She took the roasted sweet potato with both hands, put it under her nose and smelled it, and exclaimed: "It smells so good, you smell it."

Hand it to Liuliu.

Liuliu took a deep breath and agreed: "It smells really good."

Xiao Bai asked: "Do you want to eat?"

Liuliu almost nodded, but fortunately she realized in time that this was a gift for Xiaobai and she couldn’t eat it herself.

Xiaobai exerted force with both hands and broke the roasted sweet potato into two pieces. He kept one piece for himself and gave the other piece to Liuliu.

"We'll eat together, half for you and half for me."

Liuliu laughed and agreed with the suggestion, but it seemed a bit inappropriate.

"Here you go, if you don't want it I'll eat it all."

Xiaobai stuffed the piece of sweet potato into her hand, thinking that Liuliu would be touched, but unexpectedly, Liuliu screamed and almost dropped the piece of sweet potato on the ground!
It's too hot!
Fortunately, Liuliu cherishes food very much. Although the sweet potato was very hot, she did not drop it on the ground. Instead, she tossed it back and forth in her hands, hissing.

Seeing this, Xiaobai lifted up the hem of his clothes and made it into the shape of a bib, and asked Liuliu to throw the sweet potato into the bib.

"Let go of me, why are you lifting my clothes? My belly button is exposed." Liuliu said anxiously.

The clothes that Xiaobai lifted up were hers, exposing her bulging belly. Liuliu had already seen some idiots looking at her belly.

Xiaobai laughed and let go of Liuliu, taking a bite of the roasted sweet potato. It was steaming and hot, but also very delicious.

She could often eat sweet potatoes in Baijia Village. On winter mornings, her grandmother would steam sweet potatoes for her for breakfast. They were soft, sweet and tasted great.

That’s the taste of the moment.

The two sat on the steps in the school yard. The wind blew through the mulberry trees, making rustling sounds. The two ate roasted sweet potatoes and talked about raising the national flag.

Xiaobai was instructing Liuliu on some details of the movements.

Liuliu expressed her determination and said that she would be a good flag-raiser just like she did in her acting.

The two reached a consensus that they would work together to prepare for the flag-raising ceremony next week.
