Chapter 33 fourth quarter

Early the next morning, Chao Dai's mother called the school.Although he went to Shigang's old man's house to apologize last night, Chao Dai refused to bow his head at all, and refused to speak, which made the other party even more angry.On the phone, Chao Dai's mother's voice was very weak, as if she only had the strength to breathe. It was a voice squeezed out with all her strength. I tried to speak to Dynasty three times that day.I clicked on Mr. Shigang's business. The first time I talked about the music class, and the second time it was about lunch, but both times I didn't answer, and I didn't even lift my head from the table.

"I want to talk to you for a while." The third time, before the class meeting, I told Chao Dai to let her stay in the classroom after the class meeting.Still no response.After the class meeting ended, Chao Dai stood up and left the classroom.I hurriedly chased her out, but I only saw her walking through the classmates and quickly disappearing with her schoolbag on her back.Maybe I will come back after I have sorted out my mood elsewhere.With such unfounded expectations, I waited in the classroom, but Dynasty still did not show up. However, an hour later, we met in an unexpected place.Because the name stamp of the dynasty must be used, I met her on the way to the seal shop.

In front of the bushes of the houses, the dynasty squatted all the time as if staring at the courtyard.In the right hand... is holding something.I immediately thought it might be a stone.What is she going to do this time?To throw stones at? ——Before I could make a sound, Chao Dai stood up, lowered his head, and walked feebly.In front of the next-door bush next door, she repeated the previous action.What is being held in the right hand.In his left hand, he held a colorful plastic bag with a cat pattern printed on it. I finally understood what she was looking for. "...Are you looking for a kitten?"

In order not to scare her, I asked gently.Chao Dai shrank back and saw that I became nervous. "right?" What she is holding in her right hand can be seen between her fingers.It is a brown granular substance.cat food.The dynasty staring at me was as powerful as staring at me.But then, like a scolded child, he softened unwillingly and sadly.She opened her lips to say something, but I said first: "Can I look for it with you?" I blurted out.Not because I am a teacher.I can't do anything well, not even an apology to the old man Tokioka, so at least I have to look for the escaped kitten like Dynasty.Chao Dai's opened lips were immediately closed, and small wrinkles appeared between his brows in surprise.She probably thinks that a teacher who asks a fourth grader is weird.

"Can you give the teacher some cat food?" Chao Dai looked at the bag for a while, then nodded quickly. In order to find kittens, we walked on the road holding cat food.Peek out to the courtyard through the gates, the parking lot, and the trees, then drop your shoulders and move on.As we gradually approached the old man's house, we searched for the nearby houses with the old man's house as the center.The dynasty never said a word.I don't know what to say.The cat food held in our right hand had swelled with moisture, so we took another handful out of the bag. "I've been found like this before."

Suddenly, Chao Dai looked at his hand and said. "When I was in kindergarten, I sneaked out of the house - when I knew that my mother was not the real mother. When relatives gathered, I heard everyone talking strangely, so I asked my mother. Then my mother hesitated for a while, and told me the truth. Said I thought I should tell me, but I couldn't find a good time. After I finished speaking, my mother went to the kitchen to make dinner, and I came out. I ran away from home." Walking on the road, Chao Dai sniffed the cat food in his right hand and frowned. "This stinks."

It stinks, I replied, laughing. "Mom came to me not with cat food, but with kittens." "Take the kitten?" "A doll. My mother bought it for me." The sun is slanting to the west, and the wind has the warmth of early autumn. "I hid in the park near my apartment... I was scared and didn't dare to go anywhere else, so I hid in the head of the elephant slide. Then I saw my mother enter the park calling my name. I don't plan to go back. Although completely I didn't think about where to go or what to do, but I just didn't want to go home. But when I saw my mother holding the kitten foolishly, I immediately came out. My mother cried a lot."

Chao Dai raised his right hand slightly, looking at the stinky cat food. "It seems that I don't come here if it's different from what I usually eat. Just ask the type of cat food from yesterday's grandfather." "Even if it's not one kind, it's okay." I don't understand cats, but I have this feeling.For the dynasty who ran away from home in kindergarten, if her mother hadn’t taken the kitten doll she was used to at the time, even if she bought it somewhere, she would have come down the slide. "Where did the kitten go?" "I don't know if the teacher has never raised it."

"Can you find it?" "I can find it." But it was not found.Afterwards, we changed the cat food in our right hand four times. The autumn evening was getting dark, and we finally felt the coolness on our necks. The dynasty stopped at the corner of the path dyed by the setting sun.Thinking that she would stop there to think about something, she turned around the corner and walked straight to nowhere.Ahead is the home of the old man Tokioka.I followed silently.As I gradually approached Tokioka's home, I knew that the tension on the face of the lowered Dynasty was gathering.

"When I apologize, teacher, don't say anything, okay?" I finally know what Dynasty is going to do. "understood." "But by the side." "Will be there." We stood in front of Shigang old man's house.It was Chao Dynasty who rang the doorbell.I looked at Dynasty's face—and then at the ground.it's here!What a fool we did. "Ok?" Chao Dai yelled unconsciously following my line of sight, and immediately stretched out his right hand.The kitten's ears moved back a little bit, and immediately stretched out its head, gradually approaching Chao Dai's right hand as if being pulled.Smell it.hesitated for a moment.Sniff again.Then I started eating.

Chao Dai let out a long sigh, as if exhaling all the emotions accumulated in his chest.I squatted beside her and sighed too. "It doesn't matter if you hurt, it's great." Afraid that if we touched it with our hands, it would run away, so we looked at the head and face of the kitten sticking out its head.There appears to be no scars left.Eyes with drooping outer corners don't look cute, but they're flattering. "Because the stone missed." Chao Dai said while feeding the kitten the cat food in his hand. "……what happened?" "Missed the rock yesterday. Neither. Grandpa looks like he just hit." I see. "But the result is still the same, after all, the stone was thrown." "Because the result is the same, why didn't you say you missed it when you were criticized yesterday?" Chao Dai looked at the kitten and nodded.When weeping silently with her lips tightly closed in this yard, it turned out that she had fully reflected on herself.None of us noticed and did something wrong to her. "Should I practice speaking more?" Dynasty said blankly. After thinking about it for a while, I replied: "In order to express my feelings, yes. However, it should be enough as it is now." "Isn't it always the way it is now?" After finishing speaking, Chao Dai closed his mouth and looked at the kitten who was eating cat food attentively. "I haven't had a good conversation with my new father yet." After that, the two of us waited for a while, but the old man Shigang still didn't come back. The sun had completely set, so we had no choice but to leave the entrance.The kitten, who was full, returned to the yard contentedly. On the way to Dynasty’s apartment, she says she doesn’t want to go home just yet. "Starting today, the new father has come to live here. It's too troublesome for me to help with packing things." What a lame lie.From the tone of voice, it can be heard that it is not true to think that it is troublesome and does not want to help.But what was the real reason why she didn't want to go home, I can't say clearly.It's just that she vaguely felt that the reason did not stem from her willfulness. When I was thinking about what to do, I remembered something that had been completely left behind. "Then let's go to the seal shop together?" "Stamp shop?" "Go get your new seal." "From Yabushita?" "Yes. I'll call your mother and tell you to go back later." After looking at his feet for a while, Chao Dai raised his head and said, "Teacher has a lot of work."
