Divorced woman with child travels through time

The next day at noon, Chen Xuanyu splashed some water on his pants, pretending to wet them, and asked Teacher Wang for leave to go home and change. He was too young and he was worried about him. He also asked for leave for the first day of the lunar month, so all four of them asked for leave together. Teacher Wang was easy to talk to; he had already paid him, so he figured it was better to skip one and approved all of them.

Wang Xiucai's son, Wang Yizhi, is seven years old this year. He is a little chubby. Wang Xiucai is over forty years old and had a son late in life, so he naturally dotes on him. It is common for him to skip school. He would naturally go to the games he had arranged, and he would also invite a few of his usual playmates. They would all run away. There were only a few dozen children in Wangjiazhuang. Wang Xiucai was happy to have some free time, so he said he would take the afternoon off, grabbed a pot of turbid wine, and went to find someone to play chess with.

Chen Xuanyu, being rather cunning, went to the bridge beforehand to choose a good spot to escape. He surveyed the area, dug a hole, pulled down his pants, and defecated. He then covered it with sand and told the three to be careful not to step on it. Chu Yi and Shiwu, watching from the side, were dumbfounded. "It's just a fight, why resort to such a scheme?" they thought. Xiao Ahao, however, thought it was brilliant and added, "We'll put a blade of grass on it, then they'll know when they get back and won't step on it."

Chen Xuanyu agreed that this made a lot of sense. Chu Yi casually dug up a small grass that had just sprouted some new green shoots and patted it on the grass. After thinking for a moment, Chu Yi said, "Xuanzi, if a fight really breaks out, you all hide behind me."

Chen Xuanyu washed his hands in the river, took out a handful of red dates from his pocket, popped one into his mouth, and said while chewing, "Come on, eat with us. You can't beat so many people by yourself, so I'm not going to hide."

Fifteen took a bite and said, "I won't dodge."

The other two each took one, and Xiao Ahao said, "What's the point of hiding? They might not be able to hit us."

Fifteen agreed, "That's right."

While they were eating, the chubby Wang Yizhi arrived with a few of his underlings. They were all small kids, and there was one taller kid whose name Chen Xuanyu couldn't quite remember. He called the taller one "Erpang" (Second Fatty). Actually, he thought the name "Erpang" should have been given to Wang Yizhi.

Upon seeing them arrive, Chen Xuanyu immediately launched into a taunt, "Wang Xiaopang, don't go home and complain about us if you lose!"

Wang Xiaopang said disdainfully, "Who do you think you are? Don't cry later."

Chen Xuanyu scoffed, spat out a date pit, and, mimicking the villains on TV, said nonchalantly, "Who's going to cry is still uncertain! How will we fight, all at once or one-on-one?"

Wang Xiaopang glanced at his group of five and the other group of four, realizing that they had an advantage in a group fight, and said, "Let's all come at him together."

Chen Xuanyu then said, "Alright, let's go together. Let's make this clear first: if I lose, I won't call you Wang Xiaopang anymore. If you lose, you can't call me 'Mother Widow' anymore, or I'll beat you until you call me 'Dad'."

Wang Xiaopang said, "Okay!" Then he shouted, "Start! Erpang, charge!" and charged forward. The five children started fighting in a flurry. Chu Yi was quick and nimble, and was the first to stop Erpang, who was rushing over to hit Chen Xuanyu. He grabbed Erpang's hair with one hand and pinched Wang Xiaopang's right fist, which was about to hit Chen Xuanyu, with the other. Seeing the opportunity, Chen Xuanyu immediately took advantage of being shorter than Wang Xiaopang and headbutted Wang Xiaopang in the stomach. With a "whoosh," Wang Xiaopang squatted down on the ground. Chen Xuanyu quickly used his other leg to kick his other child.

Xiao Ahao and Shiwu were clever. As soon as they saw that the two of them were taller than them, they turned around and ran. The two of them were agile and ran around the two children chasing them.

Chu Yi was ruthless; having been a street urchin since childhood, he was known for his viciousness in fights. Seeing that these guys didn't seem like they fought often, and considering he was older than them and had grown taller rapidly while eating well at Chen Wenfang's house for the past few months, he didn't want to bully them too much. So he just grabbed Erpang's hair to immobilize him, pulling hard on his head. Erpang immediately cried out in pain, "Ouch, ouch, brother, be gentle, be gentle!"

Chu Yi grabbed Wang Xiaopang with his other hand, preventing him from running away. Moreover, Wang Xiaopang had been forcefully shoved in the stomach by Chen Xuanyu, causing him unbearable pain. He used to be the one to pin people down while he did the hitting; he never expected to be hit so hard… Wang Xiaopang couldn't take it anymore.

Chen Xuanyu and another child were locked in a fierce fight, each throwing a punch and stabbing the other, politely striking and then stopping, going back and forth. Chu Yi, watching from the side, almost laughed. After a while, perhaps realizing this wasn't working, Erpang shouted, "Wang Xiaofei, are you stupid? Beat him up!"

Wang Xiaofei was a man who listened to advice, so he immediately changed his one-on-one mode. Taking advantage of his height, he tackled Chen Xuanyu to the ground, sat on him, and slapped his buttocks. "Do you submit?"

"Fuck you, let me go!" Chen Xuanyu struggled, but he was too small and made no move. Wang Xiaofei couldn't move him much either.

Chu Yi was extremely anxious. If he let go of the two of them, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to protect Chen Xuanyu if they started fighting. Xiao Ahao, who was running, turned around and saw this. He ran over in a flash and pushed Wang Xiaofei hard, knocking him off Chen Xuanyu. Chen Xuanyu quickly got up, pushed Wang Xiaofei back, and then saw the grass growing on the poop. After thinking for a moment, he didn't push him too far. After knocking him down, he pressed down on him and sat on him like Wang Xiaofei. Just as he was about to say something, the kid who was chasing Ahao came over. Seeing Xiao Ahao's behavior, he also wanted to push Chen Xuanyu away like him.

Without a second thought, Xiao Ahao turned back and helped Chen Xuanyu. The two of them grabbed the child, leaving only the other child, Shiwu, running around.

Wang Xiaofei was sitting on Chen Xuanyu's chest, and he couldn't breathe for a moment. He choked on his saliva and started coughing. When Chen Xuanyu saw that his face was not right, he said, "It's not that I can't beat you, but you can't do it like this. Let's fight again later!" As he spoke, he got up and let go of Wang Xiaofei. Only then did his face look better and he stopped coughing.

Wang Xiaopang had recovered and waved his hand, saying, "I'm not fighting anymore, I admit defeat, okay?"

Chu Yi glanced at Chen Xuanyu, and seeing him nod, she released her grip on Wang Xiaopang's hand and also let go of Erpang's hair. The two of them rubbed their hands and scalps, looking at Chen Xuanyu, who said, "Then remember this from now on, you can't talk about my mother anymore."

Wang Xiaopang muttered, "Then could you please stop calling me Xiaopang? I don't like it when people call me fat."

Chen Xuanyu reluctantly agreed, "Alright, I'll call you by your name from now on."

Wang Xiaopang said dejectedly, "Fine, then we'll go back." With that, he turned and left without looking back.

Chen Xuanyu saw that Wang Xiaopang was about to step on the grass. "Hey, watch out!" Wang Xiaopang turned around. "What now?" His foot landed precisely on the grass. A foul stench filled the air.
