Chapter 3383 Supporting Xiao Zhou
As dusk fell and the sun set, the streetlights in Huangjia Village were already on.
Outside the courtyard gate, Robin burst in like a launched cannonball, clutching the rolled-up "Good Boy" certificate tightly in his hand.
"Auntie—Auntie!!!"
She shouted at the top of her lungs, her eyes searching everywhere like searchlights.
Actually, she wanted to rush over as soon as school was over in the afternoon, but her grandma grabbed her and took her home, insisting that she have dinner first.
At the dinner table, her parents and grandfather surrounded her, asking her all sorts of questions and praising her for being so great. But Robin felt like she had twenty-five kittens scratching at her heart; the certificate she received had practically warmed up in her schoolbag. How could she possibly eat? She shoveled down a few mouthfuls and said she was full, then looked longingly at her grandfather.
Bai Jianping had no choice but to put down his chopsticks and take her to Little Red Horse, listening to her chatter on and on.
In Little Red Horse Academy, Robin blew like a gust of wind to Little White, who was discussing something with Xi'er and Dudu under a tree.
"Auntie! Look! Look!!"
Robin was panting, her small chest puffed out, her face flushed from running and excitement. She carefully unfolded the rolled-up certificate.
Xiao Bai looked him over from left to right, a pleased smile spreading across his face: "Wow! You're doing great, kid! You've really made something of yourself! You even brought home a certificate!"
"hiahiahia~"
Robin was so proud of his aunt's approval that he jumped up and down on the spot.
"Auntie, aren't I amazing? Aren't I?"
"Amazing! Amazing!"
Xi'er and Dudu also praised Robin.
Xiao Bai thought for a moment and said to Xi'er, "Xi'er, Robin won a big prize, let's celebrate for her! Why don't you sing a song to congratulate her!"
Xi'er's eyes lit up, and she immediately nodded, smiling sweetly, "Okay! What song does Robin want to hear?"
Without a second thought, Robin exclaimed, "Little Swallow! When I went up on stage to accept this award today, I was singing Little Swallow in my heart!"
"it is good!"
Xi'er cleared her throat, gently clasped her hands in front of her, and with a sweet smile on her face, began to sing: "Little swallow, wearing a flowery dress, comes here every spring..."
A clear, childlike voice drifted through the courtyard at dusk.
Robin listened, first laughing foolishly, then involuntarily starting to sway to the rhythm.
She doesn't know any proper dance; she just waves her hands, kicks her legs, and spins around randomly. She learned it from watching her grandfather dance in the square. Her movements are clumsy yet comical, like a happy little bear bouncing around.
"I asked the swallow why it came, and the swallow said, 'Spring is the most beautiful here...'"
Robin got more and more into jumping, and even added some impromptu moves, such as suddenly squatting down to jump like a frog, or spreading his arms to imitate a plane circling, which made Xiaobai and Dudu laugh out loud.
The singing and laughter attracted other children playing in the yard.
Little Vivi was the first to run over, asking curiously, "What kind of dance is Robin doing? He seems so happy!"
"Robin got an award! A good boy award!" Xi'er sang while taking a moment to reply, "Xiao Weiwei, you're a reporter, why don't you interview Robin?"
Robin realized what was happening and jumped up and down, saying, "Yes! Interview me! Interview me! I'll tell you everything!!! There's nothing I won't tell you!"
"A certificate?"
The word seemed to have a magical power; instantly, more little heads poked out from all directions.
Zhou Zizi, Tian Xiaoya, Xiao Youyou, Xiao Wang... one by one the little ones put down their toys and gathered around.
"What award certificate?"
"show me!"
"Robin, you're amazing!"
"I want a certificate too..."
Robin was even more pleased with himself, holding the certificate high so that everyone could see it clearly.
"Look! 'Good boy/girl' graffiti! The teacher gave them out!"
She held her chin high, her voice full of pride.
"Wow--"
"that is true!"
"Robin, you're a good boy!"
"Let me touch it!"
"I want to touch it too!"
A pair of little hands carefully touched the smooth certificate paper, their little faces filled with envy.
At this moment, Robin was surrounded by his friends, receiving their praise and admiration. He felt light as a feather, as if he were walking on clouds.
This child is so young, yet he has already reached the pinnacle of life.
Xiao Bai looked at his niece, who was being fawned over by everyone, and shook his head with a smile.
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps and an angry voice came from the courtyard gate.
"Xiao Bai! Xiao Bai!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Xiao Songqin holding Xiao Zhou's hand, hurrying over.
Xiao Zhou looked somewhat bewildered, clutching a few banknotes in her hand, while Xiao Songqin's face turned red with anger.
"What happened?"
Xiao Bai immediately stopped smiling and went to greet them.
Xi'er and Dudu followed, and even Robin, who was immersed in the peak experience, noticed that something was wrong and moved closer with his certificate in hand.
Xiao Songqin pointed at the banknotes in Xiao Zhou's hand and said angrily, "Xiao Zhou just bought pencils and erasers at a stationery store in the alley. He spent 3 yuan in total, but he gave the shopkeeper 10 yuan. He should have received 7 yuan in change! But the shopkeeper only gave him 3 yuan!"
"What?" Xiaobai frowned.
Xiao Songqin took the banknotes from Xiao Zhou's hand and showed them to everyone: "Look! There are only three one-yuan notes here! The shopkeeper took advantage of Xiao Zhou's poor eyesight and gave him a one-yuan note as a five-yuan note! He gave me five yuan less in change!"
Xiao Zhou said in a low voice, "I couldn't feel it... banknotes feel about the same."
His voice held little anger, but rather frustration and a barely perceptible hint of embarrassment. This feeling of being looked down upon and deceived because of his visual impairment was not unfamiliar.
"Shovel!!"
Xiao Bai was instantly enraged, her fists clenched tightly. "Which boss is so wicked?! Taking advantage of our Xiao Zhou's blindness?! This is fraud! We must settle accounts with the boss!!"
Dudu's cheeks puffed up with anger: "That's so mean! How could you do that!"
Xi'er patted Xiao Zhou on the shoulder and said softly, "Xiao Zhou, don't be afraid, we'll help you get it back."
The other children in the yard, upon hearing this, also became indignant:
"Bad boss!"
"You're cheating children out of their money!"
Go find him!
"Get our money back!"
Looking at Xiao Zhou's lowered head, then at Xiao Songqin's flushed face, and the indignant expressions of the other children, Xiao Bai said firmly, "Xiao Zhou belongs to our Little Red Horse! Bullying Xiao Zhou is bullying all of us! Does that boss think he can bully Xiao Zhou just because he can't see clearly? Dream on!"
She patted Xiaozhou on the shoulder, "Xiaozhou, it's alright, we're here. We'll definitely get justice for this!"
Xiao Zhou raised his head. Although he couldn't see, he could feel the supportive gazes around him. He nodded vigorously.
Xiao Bai turned around, her gaze sweeping over the little faces, and began to call out names: "Dudu, you'll come with me later. Why hasn't Liuliu arrived yet?"
After asking the question, without waiting for Dudu's answer, Xiaobai continued to select his contingents.
Xiaomi will definitely go; she's a junior police officer.
The doll also wants to go; if the shop owner is difficult to deal with, he'll have the doll cast a spell.
Xiao Weiwei called on everyone; this matter had to be exposed, so they went through journalistic channels.
Xiao Songqin and Xiao Zhou will definitely be going too. In addition, Xu Jun must be invited, in case the shop owner is naive and takes advantage of the children. Therefore, Xu Jun is needed to represent the shop.
Then, he called on Wan Xiaohu to be Xu Jun's helper.
Hmm, is there something I forgot? Oh right, there's Robin. She just received her award today, and as a reward, she can join them.
So, Xiaobai looked at her little niece, who was still holding the certificate and squeezed at the front of the crowd:
"Robin!"
Robin snapped to attention, immediately tucked his prized certificate into his arms, straightened his little frame, and loudly replied, "Here!"
Xiao Bai looked at her eager little face and then glanced at the inflatable steel fork, nicknamed "Devil's Horn," that she had somehow put on her shoulder again. He wanted to laugh, but he held it in.
"Stay close to the group and don't wander off! Carry your pitchfork and... um, protect everyone!"
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
Robin felt he had a sacred mission on his shoulders. He instantly switched from the pinnacle of the podium to the "guardian" of the crusade. Full of fighting spirit, he put away his certificate, ran to the classroom, and carried the inflatable fork back with him.
"Alright! Let's go! Let's find that awful boss and demand an explanation! Let's get our money back!" Xiao Bai waved her little hand with great enthusiasm.
