Little Xixi's eyes were full of tears, and she couldn't help but move the stool and put it in front of the table next to her.
The table next to her is the table of the little tiger. Except for the human cub, Zhao Xixi, the other students in their class don’t need stools. They all stand directly on the table, so the other tables are connected together. It is precisely for this reason that if Little Xixi wanted to get into her position before, she always got in from under the table.
At the back, the little tiger had aligned his table with Little Xixi's table, leaving a gap so that Little Xixi could walk in from the side. Therefore, now Little Xixi can put her own stool in front of the little tiger's table, then sit on the stool and lie down next to the sleeping little tiger.
Although Little Xixi's hands were not big enough, she couldn't help wrapping her hands around the little tiger's head. Zhao Xixi's little head touched the little tiger's head, then she swore in her heart: In the future, she must work hard to make money, and she must let the little tiger find his mother, then let him be a happy little baby tiger.
When the cub woke up, he saw the big eyes of the human cub.
There is also a little tiger reflected in her big eyes. Seeing that the little tiger had woken up, Little Xixi quickly gave back the money that the little tiger had stuffed in her schoolbag before, and then she said, “This is the money you have saved for finding your mother...”
The little tiger said, “It's okay. After all, there are still a lot more differences in the amount of money needed. It's just a small amount. This is nothing.”
Little Xixi still shook her head. Little Xixi thought for a while and said, “Then, when I have money, I will give you more and more money!”
“After this, if you give me money, I don't want it anymore.”
The little tiger continued, “I don't want chicken drumsticks either.”
It was always the human cub who helped him: she gave him tiger-stripe clothes, combed his fur, gave him food... He has done nothing, and this time he wants to help the human cub too!
The two little heads got together, rubbing and rubbing, and it seemed as if the money was not a big deal for a moment.
On the other side, the teachers in the kindergarten office were about to cry. What kind of earth-shattering monster and human emotion is this?
At noon before, the little tiger, who never talked to the teacher very much, came to them and said he wanted their help.
Although the little tiger is a stray cub, which is known to all the teachers in the kindergarten, this stray cub is in fact studying and living just like other cubs and has never asked the teacher for help.
But now, with a sudden request for help, the teachers are naturally willing to help.
It turned out that the little tiger cub wanted them to help sell discarded wires and plastic bottles.
The teachers looked at the dilapidated basement in poor light and then at the discarded wires and plastic bottles piled up in the corner. This sheer number of items shocked their eyes! How long did it take him to collect so many?
One needs to realize that it’s very inconvenient for monster cubs to do things when they are young. Because they do not have hands like humans and their claws are not suitable for holding things, they need to pick them up slowly most of the time.
The little tiger inspected the piled-up plastic bottles and discarded wires like a king, then said, “Teacher, can you sell these things for me?”
The little tiger cub is a monster. If he sells it himself, those people will not give him the money, and they may even beat him.
The teacher naturally thought of this, so several teachers made a bunch of them and sold the things that the stray cub had collected for so long to the scrap shop.
After several teachers sold it, they all took out the cash they had on their bodies and pooled it together, giving him 1,200 yuan.
When they came back, one teacher said, “It was very sad. I heard from a friend yesterday that the little tiger cub was saving money to find his mother. This should be the money he has been saving since he was a child.”
“His mother...” Teacher Yu Lan sighed, “Alas...”
Little monsters rarely wander because, with the advancement of technology, cubs can find their parents through the gene pool. And this Tiger Cub is wandering because his parents are not in the gene pool. In other words, his parents are also mixed-blood monsters who cannot turn into humans. Even if he has found his parents now, they may be imprisoned somewhere in the zoo and behaving chaotically like low-level animals. There has long been no intelligence.
The teachers were not in a good mood. When they handed over the money to the stray cub, they didn't tell him about his mother.
As a result, when the teachers returned to the office, through a surveillance camera, they saw the stray cub putting the money in Little Xixi's schoolbag.
The few teachers who went out just now were looking at me, and I was looking at you, and they all felt very incomprehensible.
When several teachers were feeling puzzled, there was a teacher who had been sitting in the office observing what Little Xixi had said in the morning; then he told his colleagues.
Later, the last group of monster teachers looked at the screen and saw these two cubs lying on the table, rubbing their heads, and sleeping next to each other.
All the teachers thought, Their hearts are going to melt! How can there be a human cub and a monster cub who are both so cute? How could anyone bear it?
A group of people immediately described the earth-shattering friendship of this human cub and monster cub!
The deeper children’s feelings are, the more they can touch the sensitive hearts of adult monsters.
How long has it been since anyone saw such feelings?
The more impetuous, refined, and self-interested you are, the more you yearn for such a relationship.
Originally, the monsters watched the human cub, Zhao Xixi, with the greatest goodwill. But now, seeing such news, a group of monsters are happy as if they are simply celebrating the new year.
This time, not only Zhao Xixi, the human cub, but they had also noticed the tiger cub.
Because he pointed out that he wanted to use the gene pool to find his mother. The other monsters soon knew what the teachers had known: the little tiger cub had been wandering all the time, so they understood that the parents of this little tiger monster must not be in the gene pool. His parents must be mixed-blood tigers, and according to the age of the little tiger, his mother probably failed to transform, and now she had either passed away or lost her sanity and was imprisoned in the zoo.
No matter what kind of result it is, coupled with a little monster who worked so hard to save money to find his mother, it makes people or monsters feel very uncomfortable.
Generally speaking, The Monster Association or other families with monster cubs will adopt them if they have lost their parents. But there is a prerequisite that they cannot be mixed-race monsters, and no one is willing to waste their efforts and energy on a cub who is destined to become a low-level monster and spend the rest of the cub’s life like a normal, non-intelligent animal.
Moreover, if the tiger monster cub is mixed-blood, he will suffer racial suppression against other monsters. If the tiger family does not adopt him, it is even more impossible for other races to adopt him.
This has led to the unabashed position of the tiger cub now.
For all this, the two cubs know nothing.
In the afternoon, Father Zhao carried Little Xixi and left the school community.
Sitting in the car, Dad still didn't look so happy.
Father Zhao looked up and saw the chicken drumstick stall over there.
Father Zhao: “Xixi, do you want to eat chicken drumsticks?”
Zhao Xixi shook her head when she heard the fried chicken drumsticks and said, “I don't want... I don't want to eat it.”
Some time ago, she ate too much, and now whenever she thinks of fried chicken, her legs feel so greasy.
So Father Zhao returned to the car with Little Xixi in his arms. Just as he put Little Xixi on the child safety seat, he saw his daughter showing a mysterious smile like an adult, and she said excitedly, “Daddy, Daddy, close your eyes!”
Father Zhao was a bit surprised. “What's wrong?”
Zhao Xixi said childishly, “Daddy, close your eyes. You will know when you close your eyes!”
Father Zhao cannot do anything to her. Sometimes she does whatever she wants to do, and she will not give up if she doesn't do it. So Father Zhao closes his eyes and says, “Okay, I closed my eyes. What are you going to do?”
Little Xixi: “I want to give Dad a surprise. Daddy is not allowed to peek.”
Father Zhao: “I won't peek.”
Immediately afterwards, he heard the sound of the chain of the schoolbag being unzipped; then he seemed to feel Little Xixi's chubby little hand holding his hand and the little daughter's cheerful voice saying, “Daddy! You can open your eyes now! Dang, dang, dang! Surprised!”
Father Zhao froze when he opened his eyes. Her young daughter looked at him with stars in her eyes, pleading for praise, and in her hand was a small stack of hundred-yuan bills.
For a moment, Father Zhao was stunned, not knowing how to react, and when he came to his senses, he frowned, then said, “Where did you get the money?”
Little Xixi immediately spoke for her best friend: “The tiger cub gave it to me! The tiger cub is super nice! Dad has no money, and this is the money to find his mother. He told me to give it to our family.”
Zhao Xixi spoke upside down. Father Zhao remembered telling Little Xixi that the family was going bankrupt. So even if she spoke in a mess, it still didn't affect Father Zhao's efficiency in extracting some important information: This is the money from Xixi's kindergarten friend, Fu Zai, who gave it to her. It's the money he needs to find his mother. After hearing that our family was short of money, he gave the money to Zhao Xixi.
Something seemed to have hit Father Zhao's heart. It was sour and moist at the same time.
He touched his little daughter's head and said, “This is someone else's money. You must return it to him.”
“He doesn't want it,” said Little Xixi.
“Then give it to his father.” Because her daughter said this was the money he needed to find for his mother, Father Zhao assumed that the child's father must be there.
Little Xixi shook her head and said, “He doesn't have a father either.”
Father Zhao: “Then do his grandparents take care of him?”
“No, he took care of himself,” Little Xixi said in a tone of admiration. Tiger Cub is so powerful. He is not afraid of living alone in such a big house.
“Then how does he have so much money?” Father Zhao picked up the small stack of money, trying to count how much it was. Little Xixi was too small, and he was afraid Xixi would lose it.
When Father Zhao brought up this topic, Zhao Xixi was a bit excited and immediately started talking: “The tiger cub goes to pick up wires and plastic bottles every afternoon. There are a lot of wires and plastic bottles piled up in his house.”
Father Zhao, who was counting this thin stack of money, suddenly stopped. He felt the money in his hand was extremely heavy.
In his mind, there seems to be an orphan in ragged clothes, carrying a small bag in this cold weather, rummaging through trash cans to pick up wires and plastic bottles.
Father Zhao suddenly understood what happened in Little Xixi's sudden dream.
But at this moment, what he was thinking about was how much garbage the orphan would have to pick up to get 1,200 yuan.
This was the money he had saved to find his mother, but because his daughter said our family was short of money, he gave it to her.
Father Zhao felt sore, looked at his daughter's innocent appearance, patted her head, and said, “Do you know where your classmate lives? Take Dad to find him, okay? This money is very important to him. We'll give it back to him.”
Because Father Zhao parked his car outside the community, there was still time to go back and look for her daughter's classmate.
Little Xixi was stunned for a moment. Her mind was spinning so fast. Don't look at her usually slow and silly appearance, but when concerned about her best friend, she will be smart immediately.
Zhao Xixi said deliberately slowly, “Dad, he gave it to me.”
“Our family does not lack this thousand yuan.” Father Zhao said patiently and seriously, “Baby, this is very important money. We can't take it.”
Zhao Xixi originally wanted to ask if her father was really short of money and why he was no longer short of money. However, what she was most afraid of was not this, but that her father would go to find the little tiger.
Little Xixi has known since she was a child that her parents don't like monsters and are afraid of monsters. The little tiger is the most powerful monster! If her father sees him and makes her father scared of him, then her father will definitely not let her be friends with the little tiger! Not only this, her parents will definitely move her to another kindergarten, and she will get spanked.
Faced with such a thing, Little Xixi's little head turned quickly and continued: “Dad, let's go back... Mom is waiting for us to go home.”
Father Zhao was a bit unhappy: “Zhao Xixi, how did I teach you before? It is impossible to take things from others casually.”
Little Xixi: “He gave it to me.”
Father Zhao: “We can't take that! How can you accept such an important thing casually?”
Little Xixi: “Okay then, I'll give it back to him tomorrow.” She thought, Of course she didn't accept it casually. She will save money with Tiger Cub to find his mother. But Daddy is getting fierce now, so she still has to listen to him.
Father Zhao frowned, looked at his watch, and thought that it was time to go back. Then he remembered he had the teacher's WeChat number, and he will ask the teacher’s help tomorrow.
After returning home, Father Zhao told Mother Zhao about this matter. Mother Zhao also felt so moved and sad.
The couple turned their heads again and saw their young daughter, who was well-liked by her classmate, lying on the coffee table, holding a bunch of paintbrushes, muttering, and drawing. Completely unaware of how sincere a friendship they had built.
Like Father and Mother Zhao, they had normal children's lives. From kindergarten through elementary school and then high school, they were busy with homework, then later busy with life and work in college. They do have friends. But they were gone after graduation; they were only staying briefly for a while, that's all. Most of those so-called sincere friendships only exist in the martial arts dramas they have watched since childhood.
The couple sighed, and Father Zhao decided to call the teacher.
When Teacher La Mei on the other side received the call, she was stunned for a moment and then immediately entered the role.
Teacher La Mei: “Is it Zhao Xixi's father? Zhao Xixi is very obedient at school today...”
Teacher La Mei: “Ah? That child is indeed an orphan. He and Zhao Xixi are at the same table. They have a very great relationship.”
Father Zhao: “My Xixi is ignorant and said that our family is short of money. Then the child gave my daughter 1,200 yuan. I didn't know until I got it back. I originally wanted to send it back myself, but I was really busy during this time. So, I will put it in Xixi's schoolbag tomorrow. When the time comes, I will send Xixi to the school gate. Will the teacher please help me return the money to the child?”
Teacher La Mei: “Okay.” After hearing what the human being said, the teacher felt that this human being still had a conscience.
Children don't think so much, but adults are different. If an adult takes this money, it is indeed not wrong, but it is still uncomfortable.
Father Zhao thanked her and then asked, “Is that child living in an orphanage now?”
Under normal circumstances, human cubs who lose their parents will live in orphanages, or other people will adopt the child. So, when Father Zhao heard Little Xixi say that he took care of himself, he thought it should be an orphanage. There are many children in the orphanage, but there' are only a few adults. Also, Little Xixi is ignorant and often speaks unclearly. Looking at this situation, it's also possible that the little orphan is taking care of himself in the orphanage.
Teacher La Mei twitched her eyebrows and said with a guilty conscience, “Actually, he lives in our kindergarten.” Human cubs have orphanages. Although monsters also have Monster associations, the problem is that human orphanages accept disabled children with congenital deficiencies. The Monster Associations, on the other hand, wouldn’t accept a mixed-blood cub who is fated to be incapable of transforming. She felt inferior to humans.
Father Zhao didn't know how the monster teacher over there was feeling, but when he heard the orphan lived in kindergarten, he said sincerely, “Your kindergarten is really nice, this kid...”
Mother Zhao whispered next to him, “Talk to the teacher and see if there is anything you can do to help the child.”
After all, the child is so devoted to their daughter.
Father Zhao nodded. His thoughts coincided with Mother Zhao's.
The monster teacher La Mei over there received 1.000 yuan from the human, saying it was for buying some clothes and snacks for the child.
The monster teacher La Mei: “...” This world is magical.
The backbone of the Anti-Monster Alliance told her, a monster, affectionately, to take good care of a mixed-breed tiger cub! People are going to laugh out loud at you if you say it!
And after Father and Mother Zhao solved this important matter, they saw that their daughter had finished her drawing.
Sitting next to the two adults, they saw that Zhao Xixi had drawn some circles and frames and painted them as she wished. Zhao Xixi treats it very preciously at this moment and is ready to put it away.
The couple confirmed once again that their daughter has no artistic cells. Nevertheless, Mother Zhao still asked softly, “What did you draw, baby?”
When Little Xixi heard her parents ask, she didn't put it away but unfolded the drawing. Then she pointed to a yellow circle and said, “This is Hu Zai... He holds money in his hand, and this is me. He gave me the money.”
Father Zhao was a bit surprised, then said, “Baby, why are you drawing this?”
Little Xixi said seriously, “I want to remember that Tiger Cub is very good to me!”
Mother Zhao touched Little Xixi's face and teased her, “Will you forget it if you don't draw it?”
Little Xixi shook her head vigorously. A steam bun-like, chubby face was full of pride. “Mom, let me ask you a question.”
The words “Why am I so smart?” almost covered her entire little face. But Father and Mother Zhao really didn't know what she was going to ask, so Mother Zhao suppressed a smile and said, “If you ask, Mom and Dad will definitely answer well.”
Little Xixi: “It's just that when you have encountered very, very happy things, have you ever thought that after many years, there will still be people who know about this?”
The couple thought about it seriously, and to be honest, they did not have much demand for this aspect.
But Mother Zhao followed her words and said, “I have.”
Then Little Xixi said persuasively, “Then, have you read the book? We can keep the pictures in the book forever, and all children can listen to the stories in the pictures told by the teacher.”
Father and Mother Zhao understood now. It turned out that Zhao Xixi wanted to put her drawing in the book and hope that everyone would know about it.
Of course, this idea is also good. But the couple looked at the ghost symbols drawn by their daughter and then thought about those illustrations in kindergarten books where trees are trees and people are people. Who will tell their daughter about this?
And at this moment, Little Xixi had put away the drawing properly. Her face was so happy; her eyes were shining as if she had seen her drawing on the book.
“In the future, all children will know...” The last sentence that she spoke was too low, and the two adults didn't hear it.
Father Zhao couldn't help but say, “Then what are you going to do now?”
Little Xixi looked at Father Zhao, as if looking at her own Father turned silly, and the child said helplessly, “Of course I will give it to the teacher, and then the teacher will print it on the book.”
Little Xixi thought that when she was in school, the teacher had distributed the book to the students; therefore, it must have been the teacher who printed the book. So there may be no problem at all during the entire process of printing her drawing into a book.
Father Zhao looked at Mother Zhao, and Mother Zhao looked at Father Zhao—
“You tell her...”
“You tell her...”
The two spoke at the same time.
They two have the same thought in their hearts: who will tell their silly daughter? The truth is not that simple.
Although it is just a kindergarten book, one definitely cannot casually make up something about its content.
Especially with this kind of kindergarten-baby-class children's level of drawing, even with text explanations, they may be unable to see clearly what the story is telling.
Although the story is indeed very touching, the drawing is too messy.
The couple watched helplessly as their daughter put the drawing into the schoolbag. And then she carefully placed the schoolbag by the bedside.
Obviously, when she goes to school tomorrow morning, she will give the drawing to the teacher at school.
Well, let's leave it to the teacher alone, who will talk to her about this cruel thing.
At night, Little Xixi lay on the bed and touched the small schoolbag next to her. She thought, She must put this drawing into a book so that everyone can read it. In this way, all the children will know what a good friend the tiger cub is.
