Siheyuan: Banggeng and I are classmates

"Muhua, why are you here?"

Today was very different from yesterday. When Jia Zhang saw Li Muhua calling her, she smiled so warmly that it could kill a bunch of mosquitoes.

As for why Jia Zhang's attitude towards Li Muhua changed so drastically in just one day.

Of course, this was all thanks to Qin Huairu's long talk with her last night. After deliberately trying to take advantage of the Li family, Jia Zhang now looked at Li Muhua as if she were a golden doll, and was naturally extremely enthusiastic.

"Hi, I'm here to play with Banggeng. Where are he?" Li Muhua said as he looked towards the central courtyard, as if he was looking for Banggeng.

Jia Zhang was delighted when she saw this. This was not like what her silly daughter-in-law said. She even said that she wanted her own son Bang Geng to curry favor with Li Muhua and his brothers. Were they worthy of allowing their eldest grandson to curry favor with them?

Look at this kid Li Muhua, didn't he come to curry favor with his boss today?

It seems that people still have to be officials, even primary school students are no exception.

This kid Li Muhua must be afraid that his own gang will draft him into the army and make him sweep the streets, so he came here to flatter him in advance!

Thinking of this, the smile on Jia Zhang's face became even more intense. She quickly put away her insoles, stood up, and called Li Muhua to go into the house and talk.

"Our Banggeng was the leader for the first time yesterday. He didn't know how to order people around. The teacher had arranged for people to do the work for him, but he was still stupid enough to do it himself. Now he's exhausted! This morning he kept complaining about leg pain and refused to get up from the kang."

Li Muhua was delighted to hear this. He only knew that Banggeng was tired yesterday, but he never expected that he would be so tired that he couldn't even get out of bed the next day due to leg pain.

But come to think of it, Banggeng pushed such a heavy and difficult basket cart and ran around for the whole morning yesterday. It is normal for him to have cramps and muscle pain today after his thighs have recovered.

This is growing muscle, which is a good thing!

Enter the house, turn right, and walk through the floor-standing cabinet, and the Jia family's long kang will be in front of you.

Banggeng was lying on the kang, Jiadang and Xiaohuahua were sitting cross-legged opposite him. There were a lot of small toys between the three of them, as if Banggeng was playing with them.

"Banggeng, guess who's here to see you? It's Mu Hua, the Mu Hua from the front yard, who's here to see you!" As soon as she entered the secret room, Jia Zhang shouted at Banggeng with a smile on her face.

Banggeng then raised his head, but before he could speak, Li Muhua looked at his sickly appearance with a worried look on her face, turned her head and asked Jia Zhangshi.

"Aunt Jia, Banggeng is like this, can he still go to school tomorrow?"

"How about I ask for a leave for him?"

"If Banggeng doesn't go to school tomorrow, then wouldn't his cleaning yesterday be in vain? When Teacher Xu sees how clean the classroom is, he will definitely praise their commando team. But since Banggeng didn't go to school, then he can only praise Zhu Maomao and his team members. As the team leader, Banggeng—"

Li Muhua said this as if she was thinking entirely about Banggeng.

Hearing what Li Muhua said, Jia Zhang was stunned and looked at Bang Geng with a worried look on her face.

Banggeng was also stunned. He had really planned to continue to stay away from school tomorrow.

Ever since he came back from being the labor team leader yesterday, Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu have been so happy. They have been praising him nonstop, pampering him and feeding him meat, and even giving him a bonus.

Now both Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu are agreeing with him. His legs just happen to hurt again, and he has the two cents Qin Huairu gave him as a prize yesterday. So he is going to have fun at home for a few days!

But I worked so hard yesterday just to get a compliment! If I didn't go to school, wouldn't all the hard work be in vain?

And let those sneaky guys take advantage of him for nothing.

Besides, the praise from my grandma and mom at home is nothing compared to the praise from school, where there are 70 or 80 people in the class!

Thinking of this, Banggeng quickly crawled up and sat up, then stood up while enduring the pain, his little face twisted tightly.

"You don't need to ask for leave. I can go to school tomorrow. Don't you think I'm fine now?"

"Sigh~~"

Bang Geng was afraid that Li Muhua wouldn't believe him, so he turned around on the kang and raised his legs twice. His face looked so painful that it was almost twisted into a bun. Li Muhua felt the pain just looking at him and couldn't help but gasp.

"Well, since you can go to school," Li Muhua nodded. "I won't ask for leave for you."

Bang Geng felt relieved when he saw him nod. He felt a pain in the corner of his mouth and quickly lay back on the kang. Seeing that there was nothing to see if he stayed here any longer, Li Muhua looked at Jia Zhangshi again.

"Then Aunt Jia, I'll leave first."

"Banggeng, continue, continue playing with your two sisters!" After shouting this to Banggeng, Li Muhua quickly ran out of the Jia family again.

After sneaking out of Jia's house, Li Muhua couldn't help but feel lucky that she remembered to watch Banggen today.

"If I hadn't reminded him, judging by the way Jia Zhangshi and Banggeng looked just now, he might have to ask for leave tomorrow. Since you, Banggeng, want Old Xu to praise you so much that you want to go to school even though your legs hurt so much, I'll have to talk to him tomorrow to give you a proper talk..."

As he spoke, Li Muhua's eyes began to roll around again, and he began to form an idea.

Early the next morning.

This time Li Muhua learned their lesson, and the few of them did not stay in the yard to chat. After breakfast, they picked up their backpacks in the house, and the four of them ran out of the yard.

They arrived at Hongxing Primary School with laughter all the way. After entering the gate, Li Muhua did not go to the classroom but went straight to the teacher's office.

……

"Teacher Xu!" Li Muhua called out crisply.

Xu Ming, who was still sorting out his homework at his desk, raised his head and looked at Li Muhua standing in front of his desk in surprise. He then asked in confusion, "Student Muhua, do you have something to ask the teacher?"

Li Muhua nodded, then looked around, dragged a chair over to the table next to him and sat down carelessly, then continued:

"Teacher Xu, I came to talk to you about Bang Geng."

"What about classmate Jia Geng?" Xu Ming pushed his glasses and murmured in confusion.

"Yes!" Li Muhua nodded, and then continued in Xu Ming's puzzled look: "Teacher Xu, didn't you let Banggeng be the labor monitor on Saturday? And then you asked him to stay in school to clean the classroom."

Xu Ming nodded, somewhat confused about what Li Muhua meant by these words.

"I guess he got tired from pushing the stroller the day before yesterday. Banggeng started complaining about leg pain as soon as he woke up yesterday. It hurt so much that he couldn't even get out of bed—"

"What? Your legs hurt so much that you can't even get out of bed." Upon hearing this, Xu Ming stood up and asked anxiously, "What about now? Is Jia Geng okay?"

Seeing that Xu Ming was so anxious because of his words, Li Muhua quickly continued, "Comrade Xu, don't worry, Banggeng is fine. He was usually spoiled but suddenly got tired the day before yesterday. He is growing muscles! It's a good thing. He can come to school today."

In his haste, Xu Ming did not even notice that Li Muhua called him Comrade Xu. Instead, he continued to ask, "What do you want to say?"

Seeing Xu Ming so anxious, Li Muhua stopped talking too much and said directly: "Actually, Banggeng's legs still hurt today. His family wanted him to take a leave to rest at home, but Banggeng insisted on coming to school."

"She also said that she must keep the class clean for her classmates, and that a little leg pain is nothing, so she came to school."

As he spoke, Li Muhua looked at Xu Ming with sharp eyes.

"Teacher Xu, you must praise Banggeng for his eagerness to work, his determination to provide the cleanest learning environment for his classmates, and his attitude of not leaving the front line even when seriously injured!"

"Are you serious?" Hearing Li Muhua praising Jia Geng so much, and thinking of the usual naughty Bang Geng, Xu Ming couldn't help but become a little suspicious.

Li Muhua immediately stood up and patted his chest, his eyes firm as if he was taking an oath.

"Of course it's true, Mr. Xu. I just admire his spirit of dedication, so I came to tell you. Besides, what good would it do me if I lied to you and praised him?"

After hearing this, Xu Ming thought about it and nodded.

"Okay, I know what you said, Muhua. I am very pleased that you can find the advantages of your classmates and tell them to the teacher. But I would like you to learn from Banggeng and learn his willingness to -"

When Li Muhua heard that Xu Ming was going to tell her all kinds of truths again, she immediately rushed to shout, "Teacher Xu, I want to learn from Comrade Lei Feng and learn to do good deeds without leaving a name. So, teacher, please don't tell Banggeng that I am the one telling you this! Otherwise, I won't be able to learn."

Xu Ming was startled by Li Muhua's howl, and then he said hesitantly: "Learning from Lei Feng is good, and learning from Lei Feng is even better. Don't worry, classmate Muhua, I won't tell classmate Jia Geng about this."

Li Muhua realized that her goal had been achieved, so she said goodbye immediately: "That's good, goodbye, Teacher Xu, I'm going to class first."

Watching Li Muhua walk out of the classroom, Xu Ming's excitement turned into excitement. Seeing that other teachers in the office had not come, he couldn't help but stand up and paced, saying:

"It seems that my trick is really useful. Even Jia Geng and Li Muhua, two little naughty boys, have learned it well in just a few days..."
