Dad Academy

In the afternoon, Zhang Tan appeared outside the school on time to pick up Xiaobai and Xier from school.

But he waited and waited, but no one came out, until Dudu ran out and told him that Xiaobai and the others were practicing raising the national flag on the playground and would be back later.

"Raising the national flag?"

Zhang Tan was puzzled and was led into the school by Dudu. The security captain Sun Kang who was guarding the door smiled at Zhang Tan and said hello.

Zhang Tan also nodded to the other party and explained his purpose.

Sun Kang said he knew and invited him in.

Who doesn't know Zhang Tan? He is a big shot in their school, and his daughter Xiaobai is even more of a big shot.

He, Sun Kang, is Liuliu's rival.

Zhang Tan saw Xiaobai and a few others on the playground. Xier was also here, as well as Teacher Wu Mei and two other older elementary school students.

In addition, there was a chubby voice, which was the principal Li Tao.

The group was practicing raising the national flag.

Dudu told Zhang Tan that Xiaobai, Liuliu and Xiaomi became flag-raisers and would perform in front of all the teachers and students next Monday.

Zhang Tan's appearance did not attract the attention of the children, as they were concentrating on learning how to raise the national flag.

Only the principal Li Tao and the head teacher Wu Mei noticed Zhang Tan's appearance. Li Tao came over and stood beside Zhang Tan to chat and introduce the situation.

"Xiaobai, Xiaomi and Liuliu are all good children with excellent character and learning. After unanimous recommendation by everyone, they are invited to the flag-raising ceremony next Monday. They are very attentive and are practicing hard..."

Everyone likes to hear nice words. Zhang Tan said that he was very useful and praised Xiaobai.

However, when he heard that Xiaobai was excellent in character and learning, he still couldn't help but feel a little strange. This "learning" seemed to be reluctant.

Zhang Tan noticed that the positions of Xiaobai and the other two were, Liuliu in the middle, Xiaobai and Xiaomi standing on each side, with clear division of labor.

Liuliu raised the national flag, and Xiaobai and Xiaomi stood on one side.

Liuliu smiled happily and almost laughed out loud.

Xiaomi looked solemn.

Xiaobai looked grim and a little unhappy.

Dudu and Xier also stood aside to watch the ceremony, especially Dudu, who faced the rising national flag, with a straight posture, head held high, eyes slowly moving up with the rising national flag, and saluted the national flag.

When the national flag reached the top, the national anthem had not yet ended.

An older elementary school student said, "Liuli, you raised it too fast. The national flag has reached the top before the national anthem has ended. You should go slower."

Xiaobai immediately said, "Liuli, if you can't do it, let me do it."

Liuliu pretended not to hear Xiaobai's words, and said, "I won't be fast next time."

The group practiced several times, and Liuliu gradually mastered the rhythm, and the flag-raising movements became more and more skilled, and they could already find the beat with the national anthem.

The sun was about to set, and today's practice ended here.

The principal and teacher Wu Mei left after leaving them, and Zhang Tan led Xiaobai and the others out of the school.

Liuliu was excited and chattered non-stop.

Xiaobai was a little silent.

After returning home, Zhang Tan also saw that Xiaobai was not in a good mood, so he specifically talked to her and learned that she was upset about not becoming a flag-raiser.

Zhang Tan encouraged her not to be discouraged. If she was not selected this time, she would strive for the next time. Isn't there a flag-raising ceremony every week!

"Your competitor is not Liuliu, but other children in the senior grades. As long as you perform well enough, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Xiaobai thought about it, figured it out, nodded, and took the initiative to say: "Liuliu's performance today is very good. She is qualified to be a flag-raiser. I am not jealous of her."

Zhang Tan was very pleased. It was great that his daughter thought so.

But what Xiaobai said next really surprised him.

"Old man, let's donate money to the school and build an automatic flagpole, so that Liuliu will not raise it too fast and too slow at one moment."

Zhang Tan thought about this problem seriously, and at the same time was pleased with Xiaobai's idea. His Xiaobai was indeed growing up.

However, Xiaobai then said: "In this way, Principal Li Tao will definitely let me be the flag-raiser."

Zhang sighed: "..."

Little friend, it would be great if you didn't say the last sentence. Why do you have to add to my story? I was almost moved, but in the end...

Zhang sighed speechlessly.

In the evening, Liuliu came to Xiaohongma Academy after dinner. She went to find Xiaobai and gave her a roasted sweet potato.

The roasted sweet potato was steaming hot. She said that she had just bought it under the overpass of West Chang'an Street and spent several yuan.

Liuliu, who was already poor, was even worse off and was on the verge of bankruptcy.

But she still spent money to buy a sweet potato. She couldn't bear to eat a bite herself, so she gave it directly to Xiaobai and asked Xiaobai to eat it.

She didn't say why she gave it to Xiaobai to eat. With her greedy personality, this was very abnormal.

But everyone seemed to know why Liuliu did this.

Xiaobai looked at the roasted sweet potato, then at Liuliu, and smiled.

She took the roasted sweet potato with both hands, put it under her nose and smelled it, and exclaimed: "It smells so good, you smell it."

Handed it to Liuliu.

Liuliu took a deep breath and agreed: "It smells so good."

Xiaobai asked: "Do you want to eat it?"

Liuliu almost nodded, but fortunately she realized in time that this was for Xiaobai to eat, and she couldn't eat it herself.

Xiaobai used both hands to break the roasted sweet potato into two pieces, keeping one piece for himself and handing one piece to Liuliu.

"Let's eat it together, you half and I half."

Liuliu laughed and agreed with this suggestion, but it seemed a bit bad.

"Here you go. If you don't want it, I'll eat it all."

Xiaobai stuffed the piece of sweet potato into her hand. He thought Liuliu would be touched, but unexpectedly, Liuliu screamed and almost dropped the piece of sweet potato on the ground!

It's too hot!

Fortunately, Liuliu cherishes food very much. Although it was burned, she never let the sweet potato fall to the ground. Instead, she tossed it back and forth in her hands, hissing and laughing.

Seeing this, Xiaobai lifted up the hem of his clothes and made it into the shape of a bib, letting Liuliu throw the sweet potato into the bib.

"Let go quickly, why are you lifting my clothes? My belly button is exposed." Liuliu said anxiously.

The clothes that Xiaobai lifted were hers, exposing her bulging belly. Liuliu had already seen some idiots looking at her belly.

Xiaobai laughed and let go, ignoring Liuliu, and took a bite of the roasted sweet potato. It was steaming hot and hot, but also very delicious.

She often ate sweet potatoes in Baijia Village. In the winter mornings, her grandmother would steam sweet potatoes for her breakfast. They were soft, sweet, and delicious.

This is the taste at the moment.

The two sat on the steps in the courtyard of the school. The wind blew through the mulberry trees, making a rustling sound. They ate roasted sweet potatoes while talking about raising the national flag.

Xiaobai was telling Liuliu some details about the movements.

Liuliu expressed her determination and said that she would be a good flag-raiser like she acted in a play.

The two reached a consensus that they should work together to do a good job in the flag-raising ceremony next week.
