The morning reading class had already begun. Li Ruolan held her textbook and walked around the class, supervising the students in the class as they read the text aloud. However, her gaze drifted back from time to time and fell on Xi Xi's empty seat.
Lan Xin's seat was also empty. The two little girls in the class had not arrived at school today. She did not know if they were late or if they were absent from school for some reason.
"Could it be that something happened at home? "Li Ruolan thought worriedly," Yang Xi usually comes very early. She doesn't seem like someone who would be late! "
Of course, Li Ruolan was leading the morning reading class now. She had to wait until she was free before she called Xi Xi and Lan Xin's families to ask about their situation.
However, not long after, Liu Xuanxuan's figure flashed by the door and waved for her to come out.
Li Ruolan was a little surprised. She arranged for her language class representative to continue to lead everyone to study before she hurriedly walked out.
When Li Ruolan came out, she finally saw Xi Xi and Lan Xin with their heads lowered. In addition, there was a plain-clothed woman standing beside Liu Xuanxuan.
Liu Xuanxuan explained to Li Ruolan, "I was at the school gate just now and saw that they were late and were stopped at the gate. I thought that you weren't free now, so I helped bring them back. This is Yang Xi's father's assistant."
The morning reading class was done in shifts by several teachers. Liu Xuanxuan didn't have any arrangements today, so she came a little late.
When Li Ruolan saw Xi Xi and Lan Xin, she heaved a sigh of relief. It was fine if they were late, but nothing happened. Everything was fine. Moreover, when she saw the pitiful appearance of these two little girls with their heads lowered in shame, she also felt a little funny in her heart. They were really obedient girls. They didn't even need to be taught that it was wrong to be late.
At this moment, the woman standing with Liu Xuanxuan said, "Hello, Teacher Li! I'm Brother Yang Yi's assistant. You can call me Ding Xiang. Brother Yang is on a business trip, so I've been picking them up this week. "
Ding Xiang handed over her business card so that Li Ruolan could contact her more conveniently. She explained with embarrassment, "Xi Xi and Lan Xin were late today. Actually, it was my fault. I didn't know what time they were going to school, nor did I calculate the distance. Please don't blame the children. If you want to blame someone, blame me. I promise I won't let them be late again next time."
It was Murphy's fault. The main responsibility was Murphy's. However, Ding Xiang felt that she hadn't done well enough and hadn't prepared well enough.
Li Ruolan had a good impression of Ding Xiang. It was drizzling outside today, and although Xixi and Lan Xin were a little disheveled, the two girls were not drenched by the rain. On the other hand, Ding Xiang's shoulders and hair were wet even though she was holding an umbrella.
"It turns out that Mr. Yang went on a business trip. This lateness is pardonable. Just pay attention next time." Li Ruolan smiled. She turned her head and patted Xi Xi and Lan Xin's shoulders gently. She said softly, "You two go back to the classroom first and follow the morning reading!"
Of course, this lateness could be forgiven, but forgiven didn't mean that there would be no punishment. According to the class rules set by Li Ruolan, children who were less than half an hour late had to go to the teacher's office after school to receive education and stay in class. Whatever time was delayed, they had to make up for it after school!
Don't think that such a punishment was a bit too strict. Making such a rule was to let those children who liked to be late establish a correct sense of time.
Although Xi Xi was very obedient and Li Ruolan didn't believe that Xi Xi would be late often, since the rule had been set, it had to be strictly enforced. There couldn't be double standards. Otherwise, how could this rule and Li Ruolan's management convince the public?
Seeing that Xi Xi and Lan Xin had entered the classroom, Li Ruolan had a simple chat with Ding Xiang. She told her about the rule and also mentioned some of the school's requirements for parents to pick up their children so that Ding Xiang could pay attention to it.
On the other hand, Xi Xi and Lan Xin entered the class dejectedly.
Lan Xin was a little better. She lowered her little head, but her eyes were darting around. When she saw that Teacher Li didn't follow them, she immediately raised her head, and the guilty look she had just now was swept away.
But for Xi Xi, she really felt sorry in her heart.
How could she be late?
Being late was equivalent to doing something wrong!
The little girl blamed herself so much that she forgot to say goodbye to sister Ding Xiang and apologize to the teacher. Just now, she kept her head down, afraid that the teacher would scold her.
When Xixi returned to her seat, Lu Xiaoyu, who was pretending to be reading a book, actually couldn't hold herself back any longer. She glanced outside the door, turned her little head, and said excitedly in a low voice, "Xixi, you're here. I thought you wouldn't come to school today! "
"I'm late. My Mom didn't look at the time, and my PaPa isn't at home!" Xi Xi pouted and complained to her deskmate.
Lu Xiaoyu's attention fell on the uncle who could cook delicious food. She asked curiously, "Your father isn't at home? Where did he go? "
"My PaPa is on a business trip. He's with Xin Er's PaPa!" Xi Xi said.
Lu Xiaoyu knew that Lan Xin's father would be on a business trip. When she went to Xi Xi's house to play last time, she also went to Lan Xin's house. At that time, Lanzhou Kai was not at home.
"Oh, my father doesn't seem to be on a business trip. But, but sometimes he goes to work at night! "Lu Xiaoyu tilted her head and thought for a while.
Lu Kang was a traffic policeman, so he didn't have many opportunities to go on a business trip.
Of course, it was still during the morning reading class, so Xi Xi and Lu Xiaoyu didn't dare to talk too much. After Xi Xi sat down, she took out her Chinese textbook and read seriously with the class representative.
Lu Xiaoyu's energy wasn't as focused as Xixi's. While she was mindlessly reading along, her eyes darted left and right.
Soon, she found something new.
"Hey, Xi Xi, your hair is so messy! Didn't you tie it up? "Lu Xiaoyu whispered again.
Xi Xi did come a little late. While Lu Xiaoyu was talking, the bell for the end of the morning reading class rang. The children all dropped their textbooks with relief. The naughty boys even jumped up and shouted with their good friends.
Almost in an instant, the classroom changed from the neat and orderly reading sound to a mess of talking and noise.
Xi Xi heard Lu Xiaoyu's question. At this time, she also noticed the problem. She grabbed her hair in surprise. It was really messy.
If it were other girls, such as Lan Xin, she could casually grab her hair and the day would pass easily.
However, Xi Xi couldn't do that. Her hair was too long and thick. If she didn't tie it up, it would look as if she had just taken a shower and dried her hair. It would be messy and ugly.
"What should I do?" Xi Xi asked her deskmate for help. "My Mom forgot to tie my hair!"
"It's okay, I still have a headband!" Lu Xiaoyu enthusiastically opened her pencil case and took out two thick headbands. She said, "Look, there's a strawberry one and a small Apple one. Which one do you like? I'll tie it up for you!"
"Hehe, Little Yu 'er, you're so nice!" Xi Xi's worry turned into joy. She smiled sweetly and picked the headband with a small strawberry pendant.
Tying hair was a necessary skill for a girl!
Although Xi Xi's hair was tied by her father or mother, and Xi Xi also knew how to tie her hair, the little girl's hair was a little long. She did need help.
Xi Xi turned her back to Lu Xiaoyu. Lu Xiaoyu skillfully gathered Xi Xi's hair and tied it into a ball. Then, she put the headband on, folded it, and tied the hair again.
Just like that, a simple ponytail was done!
Don't think it was simple. It was already very good for a six-year-old girl to be able to do this. Lu Xiaoyu didn't know how to do complicated hair.
"You've become prettier!" Lu Xiaoyu looked very satisfied. She patted Xi Xi's back and said to Xi Xi.
Xi Xi grabbed her hair. The little girl's hair was soft and long. She could pull the ponytail to the front of her body. She wasn't picky. She turned her head and smiled happily with her friends.
