Lin Lan didn’t want to pay attention to her any longer, so she turned around and left. She was going to school to see her children.

Only the children of her own family could touch her heart the most.

In the end, Xiaowang was not at the school. After Teacher Huo taught him for a bit in the morning, he went to the Commune school to teach, leaving the child to play with his devices.

Lin Lan went to Dong Huaihua’s house and discussed some things for a while before rushing home upon seeing the worsening weather.

Xiaowang and Wangwang sat side by side on the stone steps of the gate and waited for her. His little hands stroked the dog’s fur rhythmically. Wangwang was so comfortable that it relaxed its head in Xiaowang’s arms and made a happy bark.

Wangwang’s golden hair was especially beautiful under the sun, but Xiaowang was also fair and beautiful. A child with a dog was just the sight that triggered Lin Lan’s cuteness appreciation.

Her originally gloomy mood was swept away in an instant.

She ran over with a smile, “Xiaowang, you were waiting for me, I see.”

Xiaowang hugged her immediately as Lin Lan hugged him and held the child high, “Why didn’t you play with your other little friends?”

Xiaowang was good-looking, well-behaved and could play the harmonica. The children all liked him very much.

Lin Lan assumed that he should probably have friends already.

He hugged Lin Lan’s neck and rubbed his head against her neck, “I miss my mother.”

Lin Lan’s heart softened, so she carried him home, “Mother will fry some dumplings for you.”

There were still a few dumplings left from last night, which happened to be sufficient for Xiaowang.

As Lin Lan was frying the dumplings, Xiaowang was about to play Teacher Huo’s new tune to his mother, but the tone of the instrument was horrible.

Lin Lan heard it immediately before she took it over to have a look, “Child, why is there something in it?” She took a match and poked it clean, only to find that there was still sand inside.

“Little guy, if mud and sand get in, the harmonica will be spoiled and you won’t be able to play it anymore.”

Xiaowang immediately looked like he had done something wrong. He lowered his head and looked very sad, but he dared not speak.

Lin Lan hurriedly comforted him, “Mother isn’t blaming you, I just want you to pay attention in the future.”

Xiaowang, “Oh, it won’t happen again.”

Lin Lan thought that it probably happened when he was playing with Wangwang. But now that she thought about it, he would usually be covered in dirt from head to toe whenever he played with the dog.

Instead, she felt that Xiaowang was a little depressed, “Child, when you were playing outside, did anyone bully you?”

Xiaowang shook his head, “No.”

“Did anyone touch you?”

Xiaowang, “Yes, there were many.”

Lin Lan became nervous, “Where did they touch?”

Xiaowang pointed to his head and face, “Mom, they touched my hair till it’s bald.”

Lin Lan smoothened her hand on his hair, “I’ll tell them to never touch my child’s head from now on,” Xiaowang was clean and beautiful, so adults liked to say something like,  “Look at this child, he is so handsome and well-behaved” whenever they saw him. They would also take the initiative to pat the child’s head.

Their hands were thick and hard from the amount of work they have done, so there was no way that Lin Lan was going to let them destroy his scalp.
