Daddy Academy

Chapter 2873 The adventurous journey begins...

After school, Zhang Tan came to pick up Xiaobai and Xier as usual.

After separating from Liuliu and others at the school gate, Xiaobai and Xier followed Zhang Tan into the car. As soon as they sat down, before the car started, Xiaobai, who was sitting in the back seat, came over with a list.

"what?"

Zhang Tan took it in his hand and looked at it, but didn't understand what it was for.

"What is this for?"

Xiao Bai said, "Old man, I will go to school and come home by myself from now on. You don't need to pick me up. I want to be independent!"

"You don't want me to answer it?" Zhang Tan's voice rose a few degrees involuntarily.

Xiaobai said she wanted to apply to go to and from school by herself and learn to be independent.

"You are still a child, it is not safe on the road." Zhang sighed.

Xiao Bai disagreed: "Xie Xiaoxu and Yu Danni go home from school by themselves every day."

Zhang Tan tried to reason with her, but it was useless. Xiaobai was determined to stand on her own.

So Zhang Tan looked at Xi'er and asked, "Xi'er, do you want to go home from school by yourself too?"

Xi'er just laughed and before she could say anything, Xiaobai answered: "Xi'er, come with me, don't be afraid! I will protect you."

Xier looked at Xiaobai, then at her godfather, and said honestly, "Xiaobai, is it unsafe? Safety comes first."

Xiao Bai said confidently: "We will take the main road. There are people everywhere on the road, so we won't run into bad guys. Besides, even if we do, we are not afraid. We can call the police."

Xier said, "It's not written on a bad guy's face that he is a bad guy. We don't know who the bad guy is."

For Xier, who puts safety first, she does not agree with Xiaobai's suggestion. She thinks it is too dangerous, unsafe and does not conform to her philosophy.

But Xiaobai was in high spirits and eager to show that he was a big kid.

Zhang Tan knew that it would be difficult to persuade Xiaobai now, so he planned to take her home first and let her grandmother talk to her. If that didn't work, he would invite her aunt over.

Her aunt has a hundred ways.

Who would have thought that when Xiaobai got home and told Teacher Jiang about it, Teacher Jiang actually agreed to Xiaobai's application.

She thinks that her home is not far from Hongqi Primary School. It only takes about ten minutes to walk there, or one stop by subway.

Secondly, there are many pedestrians on the road after school, and Xiaobai can accompany Xier and other children living in Huangjia Village in groups of three or five, so there should be no problem for them to walk together.

Xiaobai's smart phone watch has a real-time positioning function, and there are surveillance cameras everywhere along the way.

Most importantly, Teacher Jiang believes that Xiaobai’s independence should be cultivated.

Xiaobai didn't expect that his grandma would support him so much. He was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

Robin was confused and didn't understand, but the situation seemed serious, so she kept a fierce look on her face and tried hard to listen, but her mind was useless.

Zhang Tan finally agreed, but he gave Xiaobai a week to experience it first. After a week, if she still insisted on going to and from school by herself, then Zhang Tan would have nothing to say.

He signed the application form, and Xiaobai immediately put it into his schoolbag with a smile for safekeeping.

Xier seriously asked her to adjust the time on her smart phone watch.

"It should be the same as Beijing time. It's six o'clock now."

"Oh, you even know Beijing time."

"I know a lot."

The two of them checked the time and adjusted their watches, just like a spy meeting, with the time accurate to the minute and second.

After they met up, they ran downstairs to play. In the evening, Liuliu, Xiaomi, Chengcheng and Dudu all came. When everyone got together, they found out that Liuliu, Xiaomi, Chengcheng and Dudu's families did not agree to let them go home alone because they had no company and they would be worried if they were alone.

"Xiaobai, do you and Xier really want to go home from school by yourselves?" Xiaomi was a little worried.

Liuliu also asked: "Xiaobai, can you protect Xier?"

These words made Xier a little scared. She has never been a brave person and she attaches great importance to safety.

But Xiaobai wanted to go to and from school by himself so much, so as Xiaobai's good friend, of course she had to accompany him.

The next morning, Xier came with her schoolbag. She also brought Robin with her. She said to Xiaobai that it was Robin who insisted on following her, like a little tail.

When Robin heard that her aunt was going to school by herself today, she wanted to follow her. This is called sharing the hardship.

But she was soon abducted by her grandmother. Although she was extremely reluctant, facing the powerful grandmother, she did not even dare to resist and could only argue with reason. After being scolded a few times, she dared not complain anymore and left unwillingly.

"Be careful on the road, don't play, and go to school early." Malanhua reminded and walked away holding Robin's hand.

Xiaobai and Xier went out after breakfast. Zhang Tan and Teacher Jiang gave them instructions from behind, and they responded while strolling away.

The two adults watched them turn onto West Chang'an Avenue and pass under the overpass...

Zhang sighed and said, "I'm still a little worried for the first time, so I'll follow behind and see."

Teacher Jiang thought it was okay and let him go with him.

Zhang Tan followed not too far away. The two children in front did not look back at all and had no idea he was following them.

The two of them were seen walking and stopping, looking here and there, curious about everything. They even stood in front of the sweet potato stall for several minutes. Just when Zhang Tan thought they were going to buy one to eat, they left empty-handed.

The two of them walked hand in hand at the zebra crossing when crossing the road, and they waited several seconds for the traffic light to turn green before they moved.

Safety awareness is at its peak.

When crossing the overpass, they leaned on the fence and watched the hustle and bustle of traffic under the bridge. I don’t know what they were talking about, but they watched for several minutes before they started walking again.

When they see others walking by with their dogs, they will stop and watch them go away.

They walked and stopped many times, and it took them nearly twenty minutes to reach the school, which was a distance of just over ten minutes, and they finally arrived on time.

Sun Kang kept looking at his watch at the school gate, and the school gate was about to close.

In the last ten minutes, Xiaobai and Xier started to receive frequent calls from Liuliu, Xiaomi, Chengcheng and Dudu, asking them why they had not arrived at school yet and whether they had taken the wrong way.

Only Liuliu asked Xiaobai if she had skipped school, asked where she was, and wondered if she could follow her.

Seeing the two of them appear, the friends breathed a sigh of relief.

"Haha, this is quite interesting."

Xiaobai walked to school easily. It was his first time walking to school by himself and he felt quite fresh and new. He did not feel tired at all. Instead, he felt full of novelty and before he knew it, he had walked the distance which took more than ten minutes.

"We were so worried because you guys hadn't arrived yet. Dudu almost went to find the teacher." Xiaomi said.

Dudu said that she would bring the bow and arrows in the evening so that Xiaobai and Xier could carry them for self-defense when they go to school tomorrow.

The friends really cared about them. After school, everyone followed Xiaobai and Xier with their schoolbags on their backs. Even when they arrived at the school gate, they did not leave, but said they would walk home with them.

"We've thought it through. With so many of us together, we won't be afraid of encountering any danger," Xiaomi said.

Dudu also said: "There is strength in numbers. When we encounter difficulties, we can work together to find a solution."

Liuliu said: "Xiaobai, if you are so touched that you feel embarrassed, you can buy us a popsicle on the way."

Dayanyan is really realistic. She really cares about her friends, but she also really wants popsicles. She can have the best of both worlds, so why not?

Cheng Cheng muttered quietly, eager to try: "The adventure journey has begun. Will it be the beginning of a legendary story waiting for us?"
