A talented girl wears a silly dress and marries a general to become a koi

"My name is Zhu Zhiguo, what's yours?"

"My name is Xiang Junlan, and I'm six years old. How old are you?"

"I'm thirteen."

"Wow, you're so big, more than half a year older than me."

The two children quickly became friends.

Liu Junhui smiled silently. If you help others, you will be rewarded. She invited Zhu Zhiguo to her home for dinner. This way, Xiang Junlan would be even happier because she had a friend.

Zhu Zhiguo and Xiang Junlan liked each other very much and had more and more fun. Zhu Zhiguo temporarily forgot about his mother's hospitalization.

But when he sat at the dining table to eat, he thought of his mother again and became depressed again.

Liu Junhui had already noticed Zhu Zhiguo's depressed mood and reached out to gently pat his shoulder. "Zhiguo, you are worried about your mother's condition. Now I tell you, your mother's illness is not serious. She will be able to go home in ten days at most."

"Is it true?" Zhu Zhiguo was skeptical.

"I was the one who discovered your mother's condition. It's really not serious."

"Oh..." Zhu Zhiguo was still worried.

"I guess your father will hurry up and take you to the hospital to see your mother. Then you will know that I am telling the truth."

"Um!"

Zhu Zhiguo felt that this aunt who spoke warmly really cared about him, and this warmth made him feel much more relaxed.

After dinner, Zhu Zhiguo chatted and laughed with Xiang Junlan for a while, and then went home.

Seeing that he was having fun with Junlan, Liu Junhui wanted to keep him.

"Zhiguo, why don't you just sleep at my house? I have an empty room."

Zhu Zhiguo insisted on going back, "My mother is in the hospital, and my father is busy in the army and can't come back. I have to go back to look after the house."

Seeing that Zhu Zhiguo was determined to go back, Liu Junhui agreed and said, "Okay, I'll take you back."

"Auntie, no need. I can run back by myself. I usually go to school alone."

"But it's night time now, and it's dark outside."

"I'm not afraid of the dark. I often go out at night and play hide-and-seek with the kids."

"Okay, I just saw that you have a phone at home. Don't forget to call me when you get home, otherwise I will worry."

"Well, Auntie, I'll call you when I get home."

"What time do you leave for school tomorrow?"

"I leave for school at seven."

"Okay, I'll pick you up at 6:30 tomorrow morning for breakfast. I'll prepare lunch for you to take to school."

"Thank you, Auntie! I already know your house, so you don't have to pick me up. I can just run over here with my schoolbag on my back."

"I'm afraid you'll oversleep!"

"No, I have a small alarm clock next to my bed. It was my sister's. She left it to me when she went to high school."

"Haha, okay then, Zhiguo, see you tomorrow!"

"Auntie, see you tomorrow! Junlan, see you tomorrow!"

"See you tomorrow, Brother Zhiguo. If you're late for my house this morning, I'll spank you with a feather duster!"

“Haha, good!”

Taking care of a child's meals adds a sense of warmth.

Tao Xingyue's house and Liu Junhui's house were not far apart, and Zhu Zhiguo ran back, so in less than three minutes, the phone at Liu Junhui's house rang.

"Ding-ling-ling!..."

Liu Junhui didn't answer the phone, but instead pouted at Jun Lan.

Xiang Junlan immediately ran to the telephone room like a happy little bird to answer the call.

"Hello, is this Zhu Zhiguo?"

"It's me. Tell Auntie I'm home safely. Let her rest assured!"

"Oh, Zhu Zhiguo, you are very obedient. My mother asked you to go home and call me, and you really called me."

"Of course! Only obedient children can make faster progress! Xiang Junlan, I'm telling you, you have to listen to adults too!"

"Zhu Zhiguo, how do you know I don't listen to adults? I listen to adults even more than you do!"

Two kids who just met today were actually talking on the phone.

"Well, that's right! Xiang Junlan, how are you doing at school?"

"Things are great now! That bad teacher has been fired, and this teacher is so nice to me now! I learned a lot of new things today!"

"Me too. I'm having a good time at school. Our teacher told us a very interesting story in class today. It was really good."

"What's the story? Tell me about it."

Zhu Zhiguo began to tell the story vividly. Liu Junhui, who was standing at the door, saw that Junlan was listening with great interest.

"Your teacher can tell stories, and our teacher can teach us to sing and dance. She is so beautiful!"

The two children chatted happily on the phone, sharing interesting things at school and discussing learning problems, as if they had endless things to say.

Liu Junhui stood at the door for a while with a smile and then left.

She could see that Zhu Zhiguo was a well-educated and good child, and that communicating with such a good child would be beneficial to Jun Lan's growth and progress.

……

The next day at 6:30, Zhu Zhiguo arrived on time.

Probably because of Xiang Junlan, Zhu Zhiguo no longer felt strange about this family and ate breakfast happily as if he were a member of the family.

The talented young girl Liu Junhui has always been a careful person. Since she learned to be a mother to Xiang Junlan, she has become even more gentle and careful.

She knew very well that a child's diet at school was crucial to their health. Today, she prepared lunch with extra care for Zhu Zhiguo, the child entrusted to her by Tao Xingyue, and her own Xiang Junlan.

She got up early and carefully selected fresh ingredients, including green vegetables, tender chicken and nutritious carrots.

She skillfully cut the ingredients into small, even pieces and then stir-fried them in the wok.

While cooking, she imagined Zhu Zhiguo happily enjoying lunch at school.

She knew that this lunch was not only to provide Zhu Zhiguo with healthy food, but also to let him feel that he could still enjoy warmth and care when his mother was not around.

She divided the prepared meal into two portions and carefully packed them into insulated lunch boxes.

Then he put a warm note on Zhu Zhiguo's lunch box, "Zhu Zhiguo, I wish you a happy lunch!"

When Liu Junhui handed the lunch box to Zhu Zhiguo, Zhu Zhiguo was very happy and grateful, "Auntie, you are so kind!"

Zhu Zhiguo put the lunch box into his schoolbag, happily went downstairs and rode his bicycle to school.

The bicycle Zhu Zhiguo rides is a children's bicycle that his father assembled himself using various parts he bought from a store.

Political Commissar Zhu Xinfa was a vehicle repairman.

Xiang Junlan also had to eat lunch at school, so Liu Junhui made two servings of lunch.

However, Xiang Junlan's portion was much smaller. After all, Zhu Zhiguo was a thirteen-year-old boy, and Xiang Junlan was a six-year-old girl.
