Chapter 5: Farewell

Han Xuan is very reluctant; both teachers have treated him well. Although they are sometimes a bit strict, they are indeed dedicated to providing him with a better education

Upon careful consideration, it seems that I have yet to give this fellow a name. Han Xuan thought as he closed the door, glancing at the big-bellied creature beside him. For a moment, he was reminded of a certain animated character. The mini donkey noticed its owner's gaze, raised its head, squinted, and revealed a smile.

Downstairs, my mother is preparing breakfast. A small frying pan is placed on the stove, with butter sizzling inside. She cracks an egg and pours it in, and before long, it turns a golden yellow. She flips it evenly to cook it through, then takes a long knife to cut two slices of bread, toasting them over the fire for a moment until they become soft. She then layers fresh greens and the egg between the slices, arranging them neatly on a plate. After slicing them in half, two breakfast sandwiches are ready.

Han Xuanman casually replied: "It's nothing, just a novel for practicing grammar"

Three women are chatting under the eaves, all of whom are knowledgeable individuals. Their conversation is very pleasant, likely revolving around amusing anecdotes from their respective student days.

It is about to be completed

The farewell was inevitable, and the hired taxi had been waiting at the entrance of the garden for a long time. At this moment, Han Xuan finally swung her arms and walked out of the room, going downstairs to hand two brown paper bags to the teacher. Once the luggage was placed, they departed.

The couple is chatting casually

"Is that true, teacher? Perhaps you have some dissatisfaction regarding the compensation?"

The French teacher Elsa has arrived, and the German math teacher Angelika is also here. The two are sitting in rocking chairs under the eaves, enjoying coffee with Mother Guo

Han Xuan saw that the sun was already half-hung in the sky. After thinking for a moment, he patted Mai Dou on the head, untied the rope to let it play, and returned alone along the same path.

Resignedly adopting a hygienic demeanor, I responded to Teacher Angelica: "I am already very cute"

"No, teacher, children should not drink this; it will make them dull," Han Xuan replied skillfully

Elsa and Angelica felt somewhat melancholic, and it was only after the vehicle had driven quite a distance that they remembered the gifts that Han Xuan had given them

This little thing, how is it like a dog...

It might be a novel, an interesting child

Xiao Han Xuan is sleeping in his own room, where the duvet, curtains, and carpet are all bright red. He has not yet gotten up. He hurriedly returned home last night, and after having dinner and washing up, it was already past 10 PM. It seems that he is utterly exhausted.

In a daze, I recalled yesterday, turned around to wrap my arms around its neck, and continued to sleep while holding the mini donkey in my embrace. The little donkey remained motionless, seemingly enjoying this sensation

Hastily finishing breakfast, I looked up at the wall clock, and the hour hand had just pointed to 7

The two teachers exchanged a glance, nodded in agreement, and could not bear to refuse their student's heartfelt request

Upon seeing this, Han Xuan quickly ran back to his room, took out a large stack of manuscripts from the drawer, which were densely filled with writing. He swiftly sat down at his desk, reached out to spread a sheet of white paper, and picked up a black fountain pen to write rapidly.

Han Xuan quickly shook his head: "No, teacher, thank you for your kindness, but I think now is not the right time. I am only seven years old this year"

The tutor will not arrive until 9:00 AM, which is still two hours away. I might as well call for the little donkey, tie a rope around its neck, and take it out for a walk.

"Mai Dou, this is what I will call you from now on. I don't know about exercising, but look at you being so chubby. Come on, little brother will accompany you for a walk."

The morning air is particularly fresh, the sound of birds chirping comes from the forest, and the rhythmic jingling of footsteps on the pasture path attracts the attention of the noble alpacas.

Harry Potter

The mother cast a questioning glance at Han Xuan, seemingly somewhat moved.

On the morning of the second day, the sun had just risen above the horizon, casting a golden hue over the grassland

Father, wearing a checkered shirt, stands in front of the mirror combing his hair; as long as it is neat, it suffices, for those who work in the fields do not have such elaborate concerns

Just keep it for now, my son likes it

In the ranch, Han Xuan was lying on the sofa, lazily holding Mai Dou, turning on the television, lamenting the departure of the teacher, and wondering when they would meet again.

Before the mother could react, it had already disappeared

The mother wanted to comfort her son but did not know what to say, so she could only divert his attention by asking, "What gifts did you give to the teachers"

Thank you for your compliment, so are you leaving now?" Mother Gu asked, reaching out to hold Han Xuan in her arms, gently rubbing his soft hair

The little fat donkey arrived in the house at an unknown time, its bell ringing incessantly around its neck, wearing a serious expression as if it were sneaking around, afraid of being discovered. It wagged its tail and trotted up the stairs, appearing quite familiar with the surroundings

It seems that he has completely forgotten what he looked like in his previous life

As they continued to walk forward, the alpacas seemed to have discovered something amusing, each one joining the line and forming a row behind Mai Dou. By the time Han Xuan noticed, they had lined up for more than ten meters, each one strutting proudly, sporting either a middle part or a three-seven split hairstyle, resembling a group of elderly gentlemen.

Han Xuan has not even come out for lunch, busying himself alone in the room. Mai Dou has already returned to the yard, lying in the hay nest for a midday rest

"Then, teacher, can you wait until the afternoon to leave? I would like to give you a gift to express my gratitude," Han Xuan thought for a moment and asked.

After speaking, he wiped his hands and walked into the room, took out a set of clothes, held little Han Xuan in his arms, and sat on the sofa to help him put on his clothes

Little Han Xuan was still asleep when suddenly a heavy object fell from the sky, waking him from his slumber. He raised his right hand to rub his eyes, and as soon as he opened them, he saw a long-faced creature lying on top of him

"Then have a glass of milk; only by growing taller will girls like you," Angelica said in German

Teachers Elsa and Angelica each returned to their rooms, having already packed their belongings, preparing to bid farewell to the students one last time

The donkey named Mai Dou saw a companion that resembled it, squinting its eyes and humming twice to express joy. However, Han Xuan was displeased and pushed away the alpaca that had its head stretched towards him. There was no helping it; after all, its bad breath was too strong, polluting the atmosphere

Elsa stared at Han Xuan and after a long pause, she slowly spoke: "Alright, I know you are a thoughtful child. Childhood should be beautiful, shouldn't it? I hope you will continue to learn in the future, and you will surely excel. God bless you"

"No, no, no, that's not the case," Angelica said helplessly. "I truly have nothing more to teach him. Your child is truly a genius; I believe Han will become a great person like Einstein! He deserves a better education and should not be here; no school would overlook him."

Elsa laughed heartily, the rocking chair swayed, and the coffee nearly spilled. She reached out to place the cup on the table, turned to look at Guo's mother, and said in English: "I have never seen such a smart child. At just three months old, he can chat fluently in French. It's truly incredible! Now he only needs to memorize words, and I think it's time to leave."

After accumulating throughout yesterday, the dairy cows are once again filled with milk, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the workers to help relieve this heavy pressure

Elsa said

After Han Xuan finished washing up, she went downstairs wearing a loose-fitting nightgown, her two smooth, bare legs exposed. The pine wood in the fireplace was burning, and it was not cold even in the morning

The old dog Pudding softly grumbled on the carpet, seemingly feeling helpless about being caught in the crossfire.

In the cedar forest, one can occasionally catch a glimpse of the figures that have vanished throughout the entire winter, as the squirrels begin their busy activities once again

Angelica also spoke up: "I have also found a job at Brown University, it is time to leave, my time here has been very pleasant over the past few months, I wish you well, madam, and of course you too, dear Han"

As soon as they saw Xiao Han Xuan, the alpacas immediately ran over, their short hair just starting to grow, still unable to cover their flesh-colored skin, making them look like a group of shaved poodles.

The turkey flapped its wings and hurried out of the pen in search of food. The lights in the cowboys' cabin gradually illuminated, and shadows were cast on the window glass. Before long, the door opened, and they set out to begin another day of work

Open the kraft paper bag and take it out, the cover only has a personal name written on it

I didn't say anything again

Upon seeing the student return, Elsa raised her hand and lifted her cup, asking in French: "Good morning, young sir, would you like to have a drink?"

Yes, madam, from the very first day I arrived here, I have been deeply moved. Because of your son, I am once again eager to learn more, so I have already enrolled in the Doctor's degree program at Oxford, which will commence in a few days. I must bid you farewell.

Angelica inquired

Beside Mai Dou, there are two baby alpacas that were born not long ago. In fact, Mai Dou is only 3 months old as well, and the several small creatures of similar size are exchanging glances and having a great time.

The mother had just set the tableware on the wooden table when she turned around and saw her son and that fat donkey. She laughed and scolded, "Oh, the young master has finally gotten up, not even wearing his pants, and has no sense of shame."
