I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 30. Zhang Yiyi
After lunch, the group arrived at the girls' dormitory.

The dormitory is small, with four wooden beds in a space of ten square meters. Pushing open the door leads to a small balcony of five or six square meters, complete with a toilet and sink.

Unfortunately, it seems that dormitory assignments were done based on student ID numbers, and Lin Wanning was not assigned to the same dormitory as Xia Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ruanwen.

It has to be said that primary school is a place where women outnumber men. When we were introducing ourselves, two-thirds of the first twenty people were girls.

The two remaining roommates in the small dormitory must both come from well-off families. Their parents are dressed simply yet elegantly, with just the right amount of perfume, giving off a natural, botanical fragrance.

The Patek Philippe watch that was inadvertently revealed when he raised his hand is the best proof of this.

[There was once an opportunity to avoid twenty years of hard work right in front of me!] Looking at the parents chatting idly in the corridor, Xu Qingfan fell into deep thought.

With his father still cleaning the dormitory, Xu Qingfan, worried about being drafted, ran over to Lin Wanning's dormitory.

Lin Wanning's dormitory was a bit deserted, with two beds already made up. The balcony and floor were spotless.

"Uncle, how come you cleaned so quickly?" Xu Qingfan asked curiously when he saw Lin Qiaoshan already making the bedding.

"Hey! My daughter's roommate cleaned the dorm ahead of time, what a nice person!" Lin Qiaoshan said while busy working.

"Xiao Fan, why aren't you wearing the shoes your sister bought for you?" Lin Wanning's mother pulled him to her side and asked with a smile.

"I'll wait until tomorrow when classes officially start before wearing the shoes my sister gave me!" The real reason was that Xu Qingfan was in a hurry to leave and didn't want to bother tying the shoelaces, so he didn't wear them.

"It's okay, if you like it, I'll buy it for you again next time!"

"Wanning wants to buy it too!" Lin Wanning rubbed her little head against her mother's belly and said coquettishly.

With one in each of Wen Wanqing's arms, the three of them stood at the doorway, chatting and laughing as they watched Lin Qiaoshan work inside. Suddenly, a soft Wu dialect voice came from behind them: "Hello, my daughter is also a member of dormitory 306."

"Oh, excuse me, please come in!" Wen Wanqing quickly pulled the two little ones aside.

"It's alright. Are these your son and daughter? They're so cute. Oh, little one, I recognize you. You're the first one to come up and introduce yourself. Your name is Xu Qing." The woman seemed to be recalling something, and her words were a little hesitant.

"Hello, Auntie, my name is Xu Qingfan." Xu Qingfan's gaze fell on the little girl the woman was holding hands with. It was her!
[Her name seems to be Zhang Yiyi.]
“Yes, yes, this is my daughter, Zhang Yiyi.” She pulled her daughter in front of her.

"Hello!" The little girl's words were mumbled, but Xu Qingfan could barely make out what she was saying.

"Is your throat sore, Yi-yi? I have some mints here!" Lin Wanning said, taking out a pack of He's mints from his pocket.

The woman paused for a moment, her smile froze, and after a long while she said sadly, "My daughter was born deaf, so..." As she spoke, the woman's eyes reddened slightly.

Everyone's expression was the same; they all gaped in surprise upon hearing this.

"I'm sorry, my daughter," Wen Wanqing wanted to comfort the woman, but she was at a loss for words.

Lin Wanning felt guilty, thinking it was all because she had said the wrong thing. She mustered her courage, stepped forward, grabbed Zhang Yiyi's hand, and said earnestly, "From now on, Wanning will be Yiyi's ears!"

Lin Qiaoshan and Wen Wanqing looked at their daughter in shock, never expecting such touching words to come from her own daughter.

My mischievous little darling has grown up before I knew it and is now able to hold an umbrella for others.

The woman could no longer hold back and squatted down, hugging the two of them and bursting into tears.

Several people were moved by the emotions, their throats choked, and their eyes suddenly reddened.

"Mommy, don't cry!" Zhang Yiyi also cried, but a smile remained on her face. The little girl reached out and wiped away the tears from her mother's eyes.

"Thank you, little classmate. My name is Zhang Chunxue. I'm entrusting my daughter to you from now on!" "Don't worry, Auntie, Wanning will definitely do a good job. And Brother Qingfan, Brother Qingfan is capable of anything!" Little Wanning's voice trembled a little, but what she said made everyone in the room laugh and cry at the same time.

“Daughter, you used to say that your father was omnipotent.” Lin Qiaoshan said with a hint of jealousy.

“Hehe, Daddy is all-powerful too!” Xiao Wanning scratched his head and added.

Everyone burst into laughter, and the originally sad atmosphere vanished because of this little episode.

He wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt like he had heard the name Zhang Chunxue somewhere before.

Xu Qingfan swore that he was not Jia Baoyu, who would see a pretty girl and think, "I've seen this girl before."

Having shared their earlier affection, the two girls quickly became acquainted. Zhang Yiyi took out a notebook from her pocket, and the two wrote and exchanged words in it.

However, Lin Wanning has only been learning for a short time and doesn't know how to write many characters, so he has to call on Xu Qingfan for help from time to time.

"Brother Qingfan, how do you write the character '淋' in '冰冰' (ice cream)?"

"Brother Qingfan, how do you spell KFC?"

"Brother Qingfan."

Seeing her daughter make new friends so quickly, Zhang Chunxue finally felt relieved.

[In that case, the incident at the kindergarten shouldn't happen again, right?]
Xu Qingfan glanced at the two little ones chatting animatedly over the desk and thought to himself, "Looks like I'm about to become their guardian again."

Reborn back to kindergarten, Xu Qingfan doesn't have much to do. Since he has enough time, he'll take good care of these spring flowers and help them grow strong!
The short-term goal is to avoid the tragedy of Wan Ning's family having to sell their house; the long-term goal is to prevent the tragedy of Xiao Xiao later going abroad.

When they left the girls' dormitory, the group grew again. Xia Xiaoxiao's two new roommates and Zhang Yiyi all said they wanted to visit Xu Qingfan's dormitory.

The little girls were very enthusiastic when they learned that Zhang Yiyi was deaf. Along the way, the notebook was passed around among the girls.

Even Xia Xiaoxiao, who is usually quiet in front of others, was writing and communicating with Zhang Yiyi on it.

Xu Qingfan walked behind them, his heart filled with emotion.

He could roughly guess why the other person called him Yi Yi, because "Yi" is the easiest word to pronounce.

Whether these people are sincere or just having a fleeting interest, Xu Qingfan will make them sincere.

Academic performance cannot determine whether a person is good or bad, but the environment can change a person's morality. With him around, he believed that the troublemakers in the class would not stand out.

When a group of people rushed into Xu Qingfan's dormitory, the parents who were still sitting there were taken aback by their commotion.

The couple were sitting on stools drinking tea when a group of people suddenly rushed in, startling them so much that they dropped their teacups.

"You startled me, there are so many of you!" the woman said jokingly, patting her chest.

"Holy crap, bro, you're in first grade?" The couple wasn't the only ones shocked; Xu Qingfan was too, because the little kid in front of him, huffing and puffing as he wiped the wooden bed, was a whole size bigger than him.

"Yes, I was a little late this morning because something came up. My name is Wu Dongsong. What's yours?"

"Ahem. Hello, my name is Xu Qingfan," he said, waving his hand awkwardly.

So, when Xu's parents saw that Dongsong could support himself, they completely gave up the idea of ​​helping.
