Lin Qinglan discovered that the uncles and aunts in school recently developed a new hobby: sunbathing.

At the beginning, only the uncles and aunts who had classes on the first floor would stand together in the corridor after class, close their eyes and feel the afternoon sunshine.

Later, more and more people joined the sunbathing team. The teachers asked them to move the stools in the classroom to the corridor and bask in the sun with them.

"Principal Lin, you should come too. It's so comfortable to bask in the sun."

Aunt Liang and Aunt Du were always worried about her staying indoors all day, and they tried every means to get Lin Qinglan to come out for some fresh air.

Lin Qinglan, who was just trying to find an excuse to avoid work, decisively came out with a chair.

"So lively."

She looked around and saw her uncle and aunt sitting against the wall, with relaxed looks on their faces.

Some people were resting with their eyes closed, some were knitting sweaters, and more were chatting.

There seemed to be something strange mixed in.

Uncle Wang appeared again with new plants in his arms.

"Uncle Wang, you stole the vegetables from home again." Lin Qinglan hurried to ask him.

He was afraid that his son Xiao Wang would call and kill him soon.

"Principal Lin, this is not called stealing, this is called taking."

Uncle Wang said calmly, "My son agreed."

"Why did you bring these to school?" Lin Qinglan stared at the guilty Grandpa Wang.

"Bring them to bask in the sun." Uncle Wang held up his vegetable and introduced it like a treasure: "This shallot is easy to grow and likes to bask in the sun."

"The most important thing is to just grab it and roll up a pancake when you're hungry."

"Principal Lin, think about it. Holding a pot of green onions by my side not only gives me a sense of belonging to home, but also allows me to feel full at all times. It's a win-win situation!"

"I planted this pot of green onions myself, so it has a different meaning. It is now my treasure."

"I understand." Lin Qinglan nodded, exposing Uncle Wang's little thoughts: "Uncle Wang wanted to bring him here to show off."

"Yes, you still understand me." Uncle Wang went back happily holding his green onion.

Uncle Zhou, who was sitting next to him and was in the same physics class, asked for a scallion. Uncle Wang picked out a small one for him and gave him a large pancake as a gift.

Lin Qinglan thought that bringing a plant was strange enough, but when she took two steps forward, she met an aunt holding a turtle.

The aunt was basking in the sun, and the turtle lazily poked its head out of its shell. The two people had exactly the same expressions.

"Aunt Cai, what's going on with this turtle?"

Aunt Cai quickly picked up the turtle. There was no place to hide the 10-cm-long turtle, so she could only lift it above her head and tentatively asked, "Principal Lin, is it against school rules to bring a pet out for a stroll?"

When Lin Qinglan formulated the school rules, she didn't expect that they would affect turtles. She could only comfort the frightened Aunt Cai:

"Aunt Cai, the school doesn't say you can't bring turtles, but at least you can't bring them to class. It will affect your studies."

"You scared me. I don't have class today." Aunt Cai put the turtle down, and the turtle lay back on the ground.

"There is no class, why are you sitting here?" This time it was Lin Qinglan's turn to be surprised.

"Bathe in the sun. Look at the sun in our school. It's so big and round."

"Really?" Lin Qinglan looked at the sun suspiciously: "There is only one sun in the sky, is there any other one?"

"Principal Lin, you young people don't understand. We are not basking in the sun, the key is to have people around to chat with." Aunt Cai laughed and slapped her thigh. "It's lively in school. Where can I find so many people to chat with at home? I am most afraid of loneliness. I feel uncomfortable when I am alone at home during the day."

When Aunt Cai mentioned this, Lin Qinglan didn't have the heart to ask any more questions. She turned around and found that the uncles and aunts next to Aunt Cai were hiding the things behind their backs in unison.

"What is going on?" Lin Qinglan saw more than one animal.

"Principal Lin, you've come at the right time. Our class is opening a zoo." Old Fu came out of the Chinese painting classroom and happily introduced it to her.

"Our Chinese painting teacher said in the last class that we should copy our favorite animals or plants, but he didn't make it clear that we had to bring photos."

Old Fu gestured in the direction of the corridor, "These people are stubborn and insist on bringing the things over here."

He lowered his voice deliberately: "The main purpose is to show off at school. Those who don't have classes also bring their pets here to show off to each other."

Lin Qinglan was afraid that he might let the cat out of the bag, so she interrupted him: "Uncle Fu, are you bringing photos?"

"No, I didn't even bring a photo. I went to the physics class and snatched the onion from Lao Wang, and I just gave it back to him."

"I heard that Mr. Huang, our Chinese painting teacher, also keeps a lot of small animals at home."

"He can talk about his dog, cat, and hamster 800 times a day in class."

After complaining, Mr. Fu tried to make up for the teacher: "Of course it didn't affect the normal class."

He pointed at Mr. Huang You, who was immersing himself in playing with his aunt's puppy, and said sourly, "Mr. Huang is very popular. A group of people are surrounding him to introduce him to someone."

"Unlike my rebellious son, sometimes I want to change my son."

"But I heard that Mr. Huang has someone he likes."

"He's been wearing fancy clothes at school these past few days, and he's always smiling for no apparent reason. It's obvious that something's wrong."

Old Fu gossiped with Lin Qinglan, "I haven't found out who it is yet. I'll share it with Principal Lin as soon as I know."

While they were talking here, the puppy, which was originally lying on its belly and letting Teacher Huang tease it, suddenly ran towards Lin Qinglan.

Lin Qinglan felt her trouser leg being bitten by the puppy.

A white teddy bear with clean and soft fur was blinking its big eyes and tilting its head to look at her.

"Fa Cai, come back." The dog owner, Aunt He, came over and picked up the puppy.

"Principal Lin, our family is not evil, don't be afraid." Aunt He picked up the puppy on the ground, held its little paw and greeted Lin Qinglan: "Come and say hello to Principal Lin."

The puppy barked twice cooperatively.

Aunt He smiled lovingly, "It seems that our Fa Cai likes Principal Lin very much."

"Fa Cai is my daughter's dog. She insisted that I raise it and said it was my granddaughter."

"Oh, I don't like dogs."

Aunt He rubbed Fa Cai's head while speaking, "My dear, I'll take you to eat sausage after you talk to the principal."

"Really, this puppy is so clingy."

Lin Qinglan remembered that Aunt He’s WeChat nickname was “Fa Cai Mama”. She thought Fa Cai was their child’s nickname, but it turned out to be the name of their dog.

Things are different nowadays, the number of people getting rich is increasing rapidly.

"Tsk, what's so good about a dog? My little granddaughter is even cuter. Principal Lin, let me show you our Niuniu."

Aunt He’s arch-enemy Aunt Yang squeezed over and showed Lin Qinglan the photos.

The little girl in the photo looks to be over two years old, with red lips and white teeth, very cute.

Aunt He was not convinced: "You talk about your granddaughter every day. You are the only one in the world who has a granddaughter."

"What's wrong with me showing off? I'm proud that I have a granddaughter."

"Are you done yet?" Aunt He angrily distanced the two of them, "If you have the guts, bring your granddaughter here too."

"Don't envy me for bringing me here!" Aunt Yang was not willing to be outdone.

"You want to compete with me in everything?"

"It's obvious that you can't beat me."

The two people looked at Lin Qinglan at the same time and asked her soul-searching questions: "Principal Lin, please give us your judgment."
