Chapter 1212 It’s Hard to Meet and Hard to Leave (13 Monthly Tickets Requested)

In the evening, Tan Jiner called and asked about Xier's parent-teacher meeting.

She turned on the video and chatted with Zhang Tan for a few words. Before she finished talking, Zhang Tan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and gave the phone to Tan Xier, who was standing by and looking at her eagerly.

If he didn't give the phone to Xier immediately, Zhang Tan would feel that he had robbed her sister.

Although he didn't, Xier gave him the same feeling.

Tan Xier held the phone and chatted with her sister, blah blah about what happened at the parent-teacher meeting today, proudly saying that she met many mothers of little friends today, and these mothers were so gentle, hiahia...

Tan Jiner asked her to put the phone away from the other end of the phone, otherwise all she could see was her mouth and nose.

This sentence hit Tan Xier's funny spot, making her laugh so hard that she couldn't stop, woooo, woooo, opening her little mouth to scare her sister on the other end.

Xiaobai sat on the sofa watching cartoons, and also laughed from time to time.

Zhang Tan went out and came to the second floor, and saw that Aunt Huang's office was not closed, and the light was on inside.

He walked in and saw Aunt Huang working at her desk.

"Zhang Tan is here." Aunt Huang heard the noise and raised her head to greet him.

"Aunt Huang, have you eaten?" Zhang Tan sat on a chair in front of the desk.

"I have eaten." Aunt Huang took off her reading glasses and said, "Here, I'm calculating this year's account book, and the results are just out."

Zhang Tan glanced at the thick account book on the desk. Aunt Huang pushed it to him and asked him to take a look.

Zhang Tan took it in his hand and flipped through it casually. The account book recorded the daily expenses of the Little Red Horse Academy.

"After all the calculations, the academy still lost money this year." Aunt Huang said guiltily.

"This has nothing to do with you. We have long known that it is impossible to make a profit by opening the Little Red Horse Academy. Just think of it as a public welfare academy. If you think about it this way, you won't mind."

"Public welfare is public welfare, but public welfare must also be healthy and sustainable. If we continue to operate at a loss, it means that there is a problem with our model and that my ability is limited."

"Why are you talking about you? This has nothing to do with your ability. On the contrary, if you are not in charge, the academy will not be able to continue to operate, and there will be no place for so many helpless children."

According to Aunt Huang's estimate, the Little Red Horse Academy has lost about 150,000 this year.

When Zhang Tan heard this number, he didn't feel much. 150,000 is really nothing to him, but this 150,000 can provide a safe haven for many children in Pujiang City.

The loss is much worse than the gain.

So this is a good deal.

As for the Little Red Horse achieving a break-even, it is of course good if it can be done, but it doesn't matter if it can't be done.

Zhang Tan does not plan to increase the fee. It is good now.

He came out of the office and came to the classroom on the first floor, where he saw many children playing.

Dudu was also walking among them, and she ran past Zhang Tan holding a rag doll.

"Liuli, Liuliu - come and look at our baby."

"Haha, what's wrong with the baby?"

"Don't laugh, the baby is sick."

"Good guy, I'll give the baby an injection, and it will be fine in a while."

As she said that, Liuliu opened the first aid kit that had been prepared long ago, took out a big and scary pin from it, and stabbed it into the doll's buttocks, while coaxing the doll to stop crying, stop crying, and it will be fine in a while.

It turned out that they were playing house and treating the doll.

After the injection, Dudu said that the baby was indeed much better. She carried the doll back and when she passed by Zhang Tan's feet, she looked up at him and snorted, which was considered a greeting.

Zhang Tan understood the subtext, which meant, ha, I'm busy, I don't have time to talk to you.

Dudu took the doll back and handed it to another child.

Zhang Tan recognized her. She was the little girl named Xiuxiu whom he had met at Xier's parents' meeting yesterday.

Xiuxiu happily hugged her doll and went to listen to Chengcheng's story happily.

Teacher Xiao Liu came to Zhang Tan at this time. Seeing him observing Xiuxiu, she said, "That's Xiuxiu. She has been in the academy for more than three months. She will leave after tonight."

"Ah?" Zhang Tan asked in surprise, "Leaving after tonight? Where to? Going back to her hometown?"

Teacher Xiao Liu nodded and said, "I heard from her father that she is going home. The kindergarten semester is almost over, and she and her father are going back to their hometown for the New Year."

"Will she come back?"

"I don't know."

Zhang Tan was silent. When he saw Xiuxiu's father yesterday, he could tell that Xiuxiu's father should be working here and was dressed very frugally.

Workers like him are in Pujiang this year and may go to Dicheng next year. It's hard to say. They go wherever there is an opportunity and drift around.

Just like Malanhua and Bai Jianping in the past, they have been to so many places, and Pujiang is just one of their many stops. If they hadn't met him, they might have left with Xiaobai, and who knows where they would go.

There are too many children like Xiuxiu who come and go.

Zhang Tan took a walk in the yard, strolled around the studio, came out and chatted with Lao Li for a while, and then returned home.

Xiaobai and Xier had already gone downstairs to play with their friends.

Zhang Tan sat in the study, working in front of the computer. Time passed slowly. In the dead of night, he suddenly heard a faint cry coming from the yard.

He stopped typing on the keyboard and listened carefully. Sure enough, there was a cry, and it sounded like Xier's.

He looked at the time. It was already 9:30 in the evening.

He got up, first went to the balcony and looked down, and sure enough he saw Xi'er crying in the yard, surrounded by many children and several teachers.

He also saw Xiuxiu's father among them.

Zhang Tan went downstairs and found Xi'er crying while hugging Xiu Xiu.

People around her were trying to persuade her to let go and let Xiu Xiu go home, but Xi'er was reluctant to let go.

Xiu Xiu was also holding Xi'er. Xiu Xiu's father stood aside, carrying a luggage bag and a huge packaging bag at his feet. The zipper at the mouth of the bag seemed to be broken, revealing a quilt inside with small Rabbit cartoon pattern. He stood aside quietly and let Xiu Xiu, Xi'er and other friends say goodbye.

The two little ones hugged each other tightly.

Not only are they good friends at Little Red Horse, they are also good friends at kindergarten, and they spend more time seeing each other than their relatives every day.

In the eyes of adults, three months is a very short period of time, and it goes by in the blink of an eye.

What can you do in three months? Let alone becoming a close friend with a stranger.

People's hearts are so unpredictable.

However, for children, in their short life, three months can be a long time, enough for them to become good friends with each other.

None of the adults came forward to persuade him. Maybe they had already tried to persuade Zhang Tan before he came, but to no avail.

Xiaobai took two steps forward, touched Xi'er's little head, then touched Xiuxiu's little head, and held both little ones in his arms.

Although she has limited contact with Xiuxiu and is not familiar with it, she will be sad when every child leaves Little Red Pony.

At this time, Dudu rushed out of the classroom, got through the crowd, held a doll in his arms, patted Xiuxiu who was hugging Xi'er, gave the doll to her, and said anxiously : "*&%%￥#%......"

Zhang Tan recognized it. This doll was the one he saw before. Dudu held it while playing house. He went to Liuliu for medical treatment and injection, and was held by Xiuxiu to listen to it. Let Cheng Cheng tell the story.

Dudu hurriedly uttered baby talk. Although everyone couldn't understand what she said, everyone could understand that she wanted to give this rag doll to Xiuxiu.

Xiuxiu hugged the doll tightly and whispered thank you Dudu.

With a beeping sound, she looked up to the sky and cried, hugging Xiuxiu with tears in her eyes.
