Zhang Zian had seen Xu Zhuangzhuang’s father before. Although he was not familiar with him, he immediately remembered him when he saw him.
He came riding an electric bicycle, and his hair was as messy as a bird’s nest due to the wind. He tried his best to squint his eyes, but it was still hard to block out the sand and dust. He parked the bicycle on the other side of the road and called Xu zhuangxu over with his hands together.
Xu Zhuang Zhuang pretended to be focused on reading and didn’t hear his father’s shout.
“Hey! Your father is here to pick you up, stop pretending!” Zhang Zian said from the side.
Xu Zhuangzhuang glared at him.
Xu Zhuangzhuang’s father saw that his son had no reaction, so he rode his electric bike carefully to avoid traffic and crossed the road to come here.
“Zhuang Zhuang! Zhuang Zhuang! I’m coming, hurry up and get in the car to go home!”
Xu Zhuang Zhuang finally raised his head and happily stood up with his bag.”Dad! Why are you only here now! I’ve been waiting for a long time!”
His father looked at the textbook in his hand and smiled. He was obviously very satisfied with his son’s attitude of learning hard.
“The road is tough and the traffic is bad. I came as fast as I could … Your mom kept rushing me, so I’m really worried … Okay, let’s get in the car and go home.” His father patted the back seat.
Xu Zhuang Zhuang didn’t seem to be in a hurry. He walked slowly, and as he walked, he looked around sneakily, as if waiting for something.
Zhang Zian noticed that after he opened the bag, he didn’t close the cover of the bag and left it open.
Could it be …
He turned around and called famous over.
Famous didn’t know what he was going to do, so it walked to the door of the shop in confusion.
Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew over. It was even stronger than the wind from before.
Xu Zhuang Zhuang’s eyes lit up, and his pupils burst with excitement. He pretended to cover his eyes, raised the hand carrying the bag to face the strong wind, and then pretended that the wind was too strong that it had slipped from his hand.
Whoosh!
His school bag was rolling on the ground, and all kinds of exercise books flew out of it. It looked like they were about to be blown away by the wind.
“Argh! My homework!” Xu Zhuang Zhuang pretended to cry out in pain, but the corners of his mouth were full of joy.
Because school was dismissed half a day earlier, and in order to prevent students from staying outdoors and not going home, the teachers left a lot of homework, which caused the students to complain all over. When other primary school students passed by the store, Zhang Zian had already heard them complain.
He didn’t expect that Xu Zhuang Zhuang would actually think of the typhoon. He pretended to make use of every opportunity to review his homework, but his real purpose was to let the wind blow away all his homework, and in front of his father. This way, he had a legitimate reason to play crazily for an afternoon and a night. If he still couldn’t go to school tomorrow or the day after, he might be able to play to his heart’s content for a few days.
You could say that he was smart, but his grades were at the bottom … You could say that he was stupid, but this stupid idea was not something that an ordinary primary school student could come up with.
His father threw the electric bike down and waved his arms anxiously to grab the exercise book, but the wind was too strong, and in the blink of an eye, the exercise book was blown high up.
At this moment, a black and yellow figure nimbly leaped over his head and accurately caught the exercise books in between them as they were blown over the roof.
His father took a closer look and saw that it was a German Shepherd that had rushed out of the Pet Shop.
Famous didn’t bite too hard to avoid biting through the exercise book.
“Kaka! I’ll help too!”
Richard flapped its wings and flew higher, trying to resist the wind and hold the exercise book in its mouth. It was not usually so active.
Zhang Zian took the exercise book and homework from their mouths, and picked up Xu Zhuang Zhuang’s bag. He smiled and said,””I was almost blown away.”
“Aiya! Thank you so much! Thank you so much!” Xu Zhuangzhuang’s father was very happy and slapped Xu Zhuangzhuang’s head.”Why are you still in a daze, kid? hurry up and thank him! Without her, you won’t be able to do your homework!”
Xu Zhuangzhuang’s face turned green, and he stared at famous as if he had killed his father.
“Little celery, help me get a rubber band from the shop. The wind is too strong. Let’s help Xu Zhuang Zhuang tie his bag tightly so that his homework won’t fly away again.” Zhang Zian greeted her with a smile.
Little celery quickly got some tape and helped Zhang Zian wrap Xu Zhuang Zhuang’s bag around it.
“The wind is too strong. Why don’t you help him hold it?” Zhang Zian solemnly handed the bag to Xu Zhuang Zhuang’s father.
“Alright, I’ll carry it. This brat can’t even carry his bag. He’s wasted all his weight!” His father stuffed his school bag into the front basket of the electric bike and even closed the cover.
“Goodbye, Xu Zhuang Zhuang. Come again next time if you have the chance. You should lose weight.” Zhang Zian smiled and waved goodbye.
“Little brat, say goodbye to your uncle!”
His father dragged Xu Zhuang Zhuang, who was on the verge of tears, to the back seat.
Until the electric car went away, Zhang Zian could still hear Xu Zhuangzhuang complaining about the problem of the exercise book being stained with dog saliva and bird poop, but his father would never compromise on the problem of doing homework.
Brother store manager, did he throw his homework away on purpose?” Little celery was simple but not stupid. She could guess what was going on from Zhang Zian’s attitude and practice.
“Definitely. This kid is really working hard just to not do his homework.” Zhang Zian said.
Little celery nodded and didn’t say anything. She didn’t plan to complain to the teacher, but when she saw someone come to take Xu Zhuang Zhuang home, she couldn’t help but show some envy in her eyes.
The wind grew stronger, Thunder rumbled, and rain began to fall.
At this time, the staff also came back from the rental house in the opposite community. They didn’t have umbrellas because they were all wet because there was no point in holding umbrellas in such a strong wind.
They taped up the windows of Lu Yiyun and Jiang Feifei’s rental house, moved all the electrical appliances that could be moved to the bed and table, and wrapped the small digital products in plastic bags. They also put important things such as documents and bank cards into sealed waterproof bags and carried them with them.
It was just past noon, but the sky was getting darker and darker, almost like evening.
The wind continued to grow stronger, and the world was filled with ghostly wails and howls. Those who were slightly further away could not even hear clearly what was being said. All they could hear was the howling of the wind and the pitter-patter of the raindrops.
The number of pedestrians and vehicles on the road had been greatly reduced, and those who had not had time to go home all hid nearby. It was too dangerous to stay outdoors in this weather, and the sound of glass being blown to the ground and broken bones could be heard frequently.
Zhang Zian asked the staff to pull down the curtain Door on the first floor and glue the glass door together with tape. He went up to the second floor and put down all the blinds that welder Zhao and electrician Wu had made.
“Squeak?”
The power of nature made Pi nervous and restless. Seeing Zhang Zian go upstairs, it quickly gestured to him to ask about the situation.
Just as Zhang Zian was about to tell it not to sit by the window to prevent the glass from being blown to pieces and hurting it, he heard a thunderclap from above his head. It was so loud that his ears buzzed and echoed. Then his vision went black, and he could not see anything.
There was a power outage.
