Chapter 4, He is not dirty

Pei Chuan opened his eyes and sluggishly released his mouth

Chen Hu could no longer maintain his composure.

He lowered his gaze to her, and her almond-shaped eyes seemed to hold a pool of clear water: "It doesn't hurt..."

Teacher Xiao Wu stood awkwardly to the side: "I apologize, I apologize, it is our failure to take good care of the child. Let's quickly take Xiao Hu to have a look."

The head that was just struck by Chen Hu still hurts very much

Once Bei Yao is ready, she naturally has to be sent to kindergarten

Blood flowed from Peichuan's mouth, but it was unclear whose it was

Bei Yao turned around, and that slender figure remained motionless

When they arrived at the kindergarten, Teacher Wu was already at work. She was even gentler than Teacher Zhao, as she had taken a half-month leave for her wedding. Teacher Wu was slightly plump, and her smile radiated the genuine joy of a newlywed woman: "Yao Yao's flowers are truly beautiful; come and play games with the children."

Zhao Zhilan felt heartbroken that she had only received this flower because she was ill

By early August, during the hottest time of summer

Here is for you

Teacher Xiao Zhao is distributing filled biscuits

Beyao looked dejectedly at the frail figure of the little boy, and then walked towards Tongtong.

The frail little boy, dressed in a dark blue summer outfit, seemed almost empty beneath his clothes

May I have a flower

The girl's voice is tender and crisp, like a set of wind chimes

Teacher Xiao Wu could not pull away. She had no choice but to exert force and grip Peichuan's jaw: "Peichuan, let go!"

"Alright, the teacher will carry you outside"

Beyao has large eyes and very long eyelashes. She flutters her eyelids, making one want to pat her head. With a serious expression, she shakes her head and says, "He is not a puppy." She loudly informs Xiang Tongtong and the other children, "His name is Peichuan. My mother said that 'Chuan' means river, and rivers are very clean."

Beyao, holding a lotus flower that was as tall as she was, noticed that no one was attending to Peichuan. Peichuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and silently stared at the crushed cookies on the ground.

Like the return of spring to the earth, the withered trees sprout green branches, and the scattered glimmers of light add color to his dark eyes. She pushed the wheelchair outside, and Beiyao heard the boy's hoarse voice softly say, "Mom"

Mother said, biting is for little dogs. Yaoyao, we will not play with him

Teacher Xiao Wu led her inside

Lima has several children who nod in agreement at the location

Fang Minjun's face was pale. She was right next to Pei Chuan and Chen Hu when they started fighting. She barely managed to hold back her tears—because her mother told her that the Hong Kong star was a cold and beautiful woman. Therefore, as a "little jade girl," she could not cry

Little Beiyao is only that tall, and Zhao Zhilan feels sorry for the fifty cents, so she picked a long section of the flower stem. Beiyao carefully holds it, and the flower completely covers her face

Bei Yao's memories have finally stabilized, and her recollections are now fixed at the third grade of elementary school; this is the limit of her soft and pliable body. She vaguely understands that she has been reborn and knows that she must treat Pei Chuan well, but when asked to explain why, she finds herself at a loss for words.

Anyway, Peichuan doesn't eat, so what's the harm in giving him some! Moreover, every time Peichuan's cookies have gone into his stomach, there hasn't been any noticeable effect.

Oh my, she is squeezing a child's cheek so hard that he cannot even loosen his grip. Teacher Zhao rushed in and upon seeing this scene, her heart nearly jumped out of her chest

Xiang Tongtong nibbled on her cookie like a little hamster, and her eyes lit up when she saw Beiyao: "Yaoyao! Your flowers are so beautiful"

Bei Yao was ill until August in her life, and her four-year-old body strongly rejected the memories of her past life. As soon as Bei Yao became conscious, she began to write in her notebook. She then hid it in the crevices between the headboard and the cabinet, a place Zhao Zhilan would not clean.

Half an hour later, Peichuan's mother, Jiang Wenjuan, arrived. She had a delicate appearance, with her hair neatly tied up at the back of her head, looking clean and tidy

"Got it, got it." Zhao Zhilan looked around and asked the owner of the lotus. Then she spent 0.5 yuan to buy a lotus with a seed pod. Zhao Zhilan picked up a branch to pull the lotus over and plucked it off to give it to her

During this period, Bei Yao's illness greatly distressed Zhao Zhilan and Bei Licai. Bei Licai, while smoking a cigarette, said: "Let's hang a red banner and set off firecrackers for Yao Yao's fourth birthday to ward off bad luck." Zhao Zhilan readily agreed. In the 1990s, the rate of child mortality was significantly higher than in later years. Bei Yao was the couple's first child, and at that time, the preference for sons over daughters had not yet been eradicated. Bei Yao's grandmother did not like her, but the couple cherished their daughter very much.

Beiyao knows that she should treat Peichuan well, but being young, her mind is not steadfast. This flower was originally meant for Peichuan, but now she is reluctant to part with it. She looks at it again and again, planning to enjoy it with Xiang Tongtong before giving it to Peichuan.

Tontong's eyes were filled with tears: "He is so scary, he bites."

At this moment, she no longer sat around Peichuan, but ran outside the classroom in one breath

However, a name that was once utterly honorable has now been tainted by the severing of its legs, losing its soul.

In fact, he is not dirty; he has been dressing himself in clothes and pants for a long time. After using the restroom, he also diligently washes his hands three times. Peichuan is even more precocious than his peers; he can already solve arithmetic problems. However, it seems as if his legs are broken, rendering him a dirty existence

The road to the kindergarten is lined with summer flowers

The children were terrified and hurriedly distanced themselves from Peichuan

Xiang Tongtong is her classmate from kindergarten and will also be her classmate in elementary school

Beyao, holding the flowers, suddenly caught sight of Peichuan's gaze. He was biting Chen Hu's arm, drenched in sweat, while several children were watching her.

Fang Minjun wore a hint of arrogance that was not befitting her age: "His cookies are dirty, Chen Hu, you shouldn't eat them."

He gazed out at the chinaberry tree, his eyes as dark as ink

The little girl, with her nose tip flushed red, grabbed Beiyao's hand, trying to pull her outside

The round table was filled with children. Each child cherished their cookie, first licking it carefully, then taking a small bite. A single cookie could last for ten minutes.

His leg is broken, and many people find him dirty

The children in the kindergarten all remember that incident of urination

Pei Chuan lowered his gaze

Beyao turned back again, looking up at the little boy sitting in the wheelchair. Her height only allowed her to gently pat his small arm, her soft voice soothingly said: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt..."

Minmin is right, Peichuan will wet his pants, his cookies must be very dirty

Beiyao stared intently at the lotus flowers in the pond

Chen Hu's mother also shot a glare at Pei Chuan, holding the child as she headed to the clinic to tend to the injury

The sandwich cookies are distributed only once a month, while the regular cookies given out are ordinary round cookies. For the children, the day when sandwich cookies are distributed once a month is particularly anticipated

Chen Hu's father, a familiar figure to the children, is a burly uncle with a tiger-like build. His eyes are as wide as copper bells as he points at Pei Chuan and says, "You little brat, if anything happens to my little Hu, I will kill you!"

Chen Hu was taken aback: "Dumb person, what are you doing!"

Chen Hu cried breathlessly in the teacher's arms: "Teacher, let's go, let's go..."

Teacher Xiao Wu was the first to discover that something had gone wrong

Beyao clearly saw that the silent little boy's eyes gradually lit up with color

The woman approached silently, first smiling at Peichuan, and then bent down to touch his head

Beyao looked over, and he closed his eyes again, but his mouth did not loosen, as if he wanted to bite off a piece of flesh from the little fatty

Upon hearing this, Chen Hu was overwhelmed with grief, crying out in a manner that shook the heavens, feeling extremely wronged

Finally, I implored Zhao Zhilan to pick a flower.

Bei Yao vaguely realized that he seemed to have lost a few more pounds compared to a few days ago

Beyao walked in holding flowers, he glanced at her briefly and then shifted his gaze to the window

Teacher Xiao Wu picked up Chen Hu to comfort him, while Teacher Xiao Zhao quickly informed the parents

Chen Hu swallowed hard and raised his fist at him, saying: "What's wrong! You can't beat me."

She gently stroked Peichuan's head: "Xiaochuan, can you relax a bit? The teacher is here, the teacher is right here..."

Teacher Xiao Wu quickly pulled out Chen Hu's arm. There was a deep bite mark on Chen Hu's arm, from which blood was oozing.

Hurry over to plan to pull the child away

Wow... it hurt so much that Chen Hu cried out on the spot

Beyao's big eyes are clear: "We will buy."

Alright. Beiyao, with her chubby little hands, carefully plucked the outermost petal and handed it to her

Pei Chuan suddenly turned his head

Beyao nodded her head

The children were all bewildered when they encountered such a spectacle for the first time

While they were talking, a chubby hand reached over and took the cookie in front of Peichuan

Since Peichuan broke his leg, he has not spoken to the other children anymore

The sunlight was dazzling and blinding, causing pain to the eyes. He placed the lotus flower on the table, brushing aside her small hand. He pushed the wheelchair away from her.

The two teachers exchanged a glance, their faces turned pale

Xiang Tongtong sniffed and said: "It smells nice!"

As he thought this, he quickly took a bite of the cookie while the teacher was not paying attention. Seeing Pei Chuan still looking at him coldly, Chen Hu felt both guilty and angry.

When his father named him, he chose the meaning "the sea embraces all rivers"

Chen Hu's parents arrived first; both his father and mother are here

Beiyao knows that fifty cents is not a small amount, as her New Year red envelope is only one yuan

Pei Chuan's pale hand suddenly grasped the wheelchair, moving towards Chen Hu. He then seized Chen Hu by the collar, pulling him over to his side

Chen Hu cried while hitting his head

When will Peichuan be willing to speak with her

The boy who plays best with Chen Hu in the classroom is named Li Da, and Li Da shouted, "Pei Chuan is a little dog!"

Chen Hu, being robust in build, naturally would not "sit idly by and wait for death"; he pushed Pei Chuan. The slender chest of the boy was pushed back by the sturdy Chen Hu, while Pei Chuan's eyes were dark and silent, as he grabbed Chen Hu's arm and bit down.

He can speak, but he is just not very talkative

They initially called him Peichuan, but now they simply call him the mute.

Beyao held the flowers and looked around

The kindergarten is in a state of chaos.

Beyao glanced at the teacher who was coaxing Chen Hu, her eyes brightening, and with her short legs puffing, she walked up to Peichuan. Then she placed the lotus flower into his arms.

The sandwich cookie was not thrown accurately, and in the end, it brushed against the edge of the table, landing beside Peichuan's wheelchair

Teacher Xiao Wu became anxious

The elegant fragrance of the lotus flower, mingled with the milky scent of a young girl, enveloped him. Her chubby little hand gently patted his bare, soft forearm. It was as if a tender dragonfly had quietly paused in the summer.

She spotted Peichuan at a glance

She turned her head to see Teacher Xiao Wu at the door, patting Chen Hu on the back, saying: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt..."

Her almond-shaped eyes are curved: "Tongtong."

Jiang Wenjuan heard Teacher Xiao Zhao recount the events on her way here

The couple then carried their child and left.

This is a woman with a very gentle appearance. Peichuan resembles his mother more, with handsome features, yet he also bears a slight resemblance to his father, which gives his contours a deeper quality

At a third-grade level, by the time she looked at her homework again, she could no longer understand it. She recognized some characters, yet there were still some she did not know. However, the intense feeling of anxiety compelled her to hide the homework again.

She blinked her eyes, leaning against the door, gazing longingly at their silhouettes.

He threw the bitten cookie in front of Peichuan, also intending to discard it.

In the month of August, Chen Hu cried so much that bubbles of mucus kept emerging from his nose

Young children have a scale in their hearts, with clear boundaries

Although he does not understand what this means, he knows that it is a good name

Zhao Zhilan had a severe headache. Their community was not fully constructed and was classified as a demolition housing project. The lotus flowers seemed to be cultivated by someone else. Zhao Zhilan frightened her, saying: "These belong to someone else; if you are caught looking, they might take you away and lock you up!"

She now views the world from the perspective of a third-grade elementary school student, which has actually improved her greatly. She is no longer restless, and her clear eyes are filled with longing and curiosity about the world

Staring at Chen Hu with a blank expression

In front of him lay a cookie, which he placed on the table without touching. It seemed as if it were not a cookie that all children love, but rather a piece of charcoal

The corners of his lips were still stained with uncleaned blood, and a ridiculously large lotus flower was placed on his body

Pei Chuan seemed like a robot devoid of pain sensation, biting down even harder the next moment
