Chapter 12 Autumn Outing
Chapter 12 Autumn Outing
Time flies, and a long time has passed in the blink of an eye.
Song Huan and Xiao Yunqing have moved up to the senior class and become big kids.
At the same time, autumn has arrived.
The trees in the kindergarten have donned golden leaves, and when the wind blows, the leaves rustle down and carpet the ground.
Today is a special day, an autumn outing.
The children arrived at kindergarten early in the morning, each carrying a bulging little backpack, their faces beaming with excitement.
"Let's go on an autumn outing!"
"Take the bus! Take the bus!"
"My mom bought me lots of snacks!"
They chirped and chattered like a flock of little sparrows.
Teacher Chen, holding a small flag, maintained order at the front: "Line up, line up, get on the bus one by one!"
The children obediently lined up and boarded the bus one by one.
Song Huan was the last to board the bus because his shoe had been stepped on and knocked off by a chubby boy, which had delayed him for a while.
He had just stepped into the car when he heard a familiar voice.
[Here, here, here!!]
He looked up and saw Xiao Yunqing sitting by the window, waving frantically at him.
"Song Huan! Over here!"
Song Huan walked over and sat down next to her.
As soon as she sat down, Xiao Yunqing leaned over, her eyes sparkling.
Did you bring any snacks?
Song Huan shook her head.
He didn't bring it with him. Zhang Xuejuan packed it for him, but he thought it was too heavy and secretly took it out.
Xiao Yunqing's eyes shone even brighter.
"Then I'll share some with you!"
Song Huan: "..."
Why does this girl seem a little happy?
The bus started moving.
The scenery outside the window slowly receded, buildings turned into fields, and fields turned into forests.
Xiao Yunqing leaned against the window, watching intently.
"Wow, there's a cow!"
Wow, so many trees!
"Wow, that house is so small!"
Song Huan leaned back in her chair, watching her startled expression, and couldn't help but laugh.
This girl usually seems cold and aloof, but she's a completely different person once she comes out to play.
And she seems to never get tired.
My mouth hasn't stopped since I got on the bus.
They're either talking or eating.
Song Huan yawned.
He was really tired.
Although he is now a five-year-old child, his body still doesn't have enough energy.
Xiao Yunqing heard the yawn and turned to look at him.
Are you sleepy?
"A little."
Xiao Yunqing thought for a moment, then took out a bag of potato chips from her schoolbag and stuffed it into his hand.
"Then eat something and you won't be sleepy anymore."
Song Huan looked at the potato chips in her hand, then at her bright eyes, and smiled.
"it is good."
When Xiao Yunqing saw that he had eaten, her eyes curved into crescents with joy.
She opened her schoolbag again and started taking things out.
"Look, this is my favorite cookie. Let's eat more of it later."
"And these jelly balls, Mom bought two, one for each of us."
"This candy is strawberry flavored, here you go."
"This chocolate..."
Song Huan watched as she took out the snacks one by one, and the small seat was soon piled up with them.
"That's enough, that's enough," he quickly stopped her, "There's too much, we can't finish it."
Xiao Yunqing blinked, thought about it seriously, and said, "Then we'll save it and eat it slowly."
Then they put everything back one by one.
While collecting them, he muttered, "This belongs to Song Huan, this also belongs to Song Huan, we'll each have half..."
Song Huan felt a warmth in her heart as she looked at her earnest expression.
This silly girl.
……
We've arrived at the forest park.
The trees are very tall, the sky is very blue, and there is a fresh scent of grass and trees in the air.
The children, like a flock of little birds, chirped and fluttered off the bus.
Teacher Chen walked ahead, holding a small flag, and reminded everyone, "Stay close to the group and don't run around!"
Xiao Yunqing held Song Huan's hand and asked as they walked:
"Song Huan, what kind of flower is this?"
Wildflowers.
"What kind of tree is this?"
"Big tree."
Why are leaves red?
"Because it got married today."
Xiao Yunqing looked at him, her eyes sparkling.
"You're so amazing, you know everything."
Song Huan paused for a moment, touched her nose, and then looked a little smug.
"Of course."
Xiao Yunqing pointed into the distance again: "What's that?"
"That's a mountain."
"What's behind the mountain?"
"Behind this mountain is the second mountain."
"And then what?"
Song Huan thought for a moment: "The third one is right after that."
Xiao Yunqing raised her head, looked at the horizon, and nodded seriously.
"You're amazing, Huanhuan! How do you know everything?!"
"Because I'm not a three-year-old anymore, I'm a five-year-old."
"What you said makes a lot of sense, even more so than my dad."
Looking at her serious profile, Song Huan suddenly felt...
It feels pretty good to be admired by this little girl.
……
At lunchtime, each child received a boxed lunch.
Rice, braised pork, stir-fried vegetables, and a poached egg.
But most of the children didn't eat much because they were already full from snacks.
Song Huan is an exception.
He held the lunchbox, shoveled a big mouthful of rice into his mouth, and almost cried with emotion.
Carbs!
Finally, I got to eat some carbs!
He ate snacks all morning, and they were so sweet they made him feel sick.
This mouthful of rice is simply divine.
Xiao Yunqing watched him wolf down his food, somewhat bewildered.
"Is the bento box... really that good?"
With her mouth full of rice, Song Huan mumbled, "Delicious! So delicious!"
Xiao Yunqing looked at the lunchbox in her hand that she had only taken a bite of, and then at his appearance. After hesitating for a moment, she also took a bite.
Then he frowned.
It's not as tasty as snacks...
But seeing how much Song Huan enjoyed the food, she thought it wasn't so bad after all.
……
After lunch, Teacher Chen divided the activity area for everyone.
"Children, please play on this grassy area and don't run far, okay?"
"Know!"
Just as Teacher Chen turned around to take care of the other children, Xiao Yunqing grabbed Song Huan's hand and led her towards the woods.
"Let's go take a look over there!"
Song Huan stopped her: "Teacher Chen said we can't run around."
Xiao Yunqing stopped and turned to look at him.
His eyes blinked pitifully.
"But... I want to go play with you."
Song Huan: "..."
Here we go again with this trick.
He looked into those bright, sparkling eyes and sighed.
"Let's go."
Xiao Yunqing immediately laughed and pulled him into the woods.
Song Huan followed behind, watching her lively and energetic figure, and a smile appeared on her lips.
As long as you're happy.
The woods were quiet, with only the sounds of birds chirping and the rustling of leaves in the wind.
Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground.
Xiao Yunqing walked for a while, then suddenly stopped.
"Wow!"
She pointed to the edge of the grass, her eyes shining.
There was a patch of wildflowers blooming there, yellow, white, and purple, scattered like stars, it was especially beautiful.
"Song Huan, I want to pick a bunch."
Song Huan nodded: "Go ahead and pick them."
Xiao Yunqing released his hand and carefully walked into the bushes.
She squatted down and reached out to pick the little flowers.
One, two, three...
As she picked the grass, she didn't notice that the grass under her feet was getting deeper and deeper.
By the time she realized it, it was too late.
She lost her footing and slid down.
"what!"
Upon hearing the shout, Song Huan abruptly looked up.
He saw Xiao Yunqing's body sliding down a slope with rocks at the bottom.
There was only one thought in his mind.
We can't let her fall.
He lunged forward without thinking.
Song Huan threw himself out, and before Xiao Yunqing's body could completely slide down, his hand gripped her wrist tightly.
A look of pain crossed his face, then he gritted his teeth and pulled back with all his might.
Xiao Yunqing was pulled up by him and sat down on the grass with a thud. She was stunned when she saw his clothes stained with blood on his abdomen.
Just now, Song Huan slipped while trying to grab her, lost his balance, and crashed sideways into a rock on the slope.
A sharp stone grazed his side.
pain.
It hurts.
Song Huan's face was contorted in pain. Looking down, she saw that her clothes were torn and blood was seeping from the wound, staining her clothes red.
Damn it, my back hurts!
Xiao Yunqing was stunned for two seconds, then burst into tears.
"Song Huan! Song Huan, you're bleeding!"
She lunged forward, wanting to touch him but not daring to, tears streaming down her face.
"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry... It's all my fault..."
"Please, please don't die, sob sob..."
Hearing her heartbroken voice, Song Huan's face turned a little pale, but he took a deep breath and forced a smile.
"Don't be afraid," he said, his voice trembling slightly, "Quickly call the teacher."
He reached out and gently wiped away Xiao Yunqing's tears.
"Remember, don't tell my mom..."
Xiao Yunqing cried even harder.
……
In the hospital corridor.
The smell of disinfectant permeated the air.
Xiao Yunqing sat on the bench, tears streaming down her face, unable to stop.
Xu Wan and Xiao Haifeng were standing next to her.
When the two received the call from Teacher Chen, their hearts were in their throats.
When they arrived at the hospital, they learned that it wasn't their daughter who was injured.
It's Song Huan.
She was injured while saving her daughter.
Xiao Haifeng looked at his daughter, who was crying her eyes out, sighed, and squatted down.
"Little Cloud, don't cry. The doctor is treating your wound. It'll be alright."
Xiao Yunqing shook her head and cried even louder.
"He lost so much blood...so much blood..."
Xu Wan also squatted down and hugged her.
"Mommy knows, Mommy knows. We'll thank him properly later, okay?"
Xiao Yunqing buried her head in her mother's arms, her shoulders trembling.
Just then, hurried footsteps came from the other end of the corridor.
Song Wentao and Zhang Xuejuan ran over.
Zhang Xuejuan, her face filled with anxiety, ran alongside, asking, "How is it?! How is my son?!"
Before Xiao Haifeng and Xu Wan could speak, Xiao Yunqing broke free from Xu Wan's embrace and ran towards them.
She ran up to Zhang Xuejuan, looked up, and tears streamed down her face.
"Auntie, I'm so sorry... It's all my fault... I'm the one who caused Song Huan to get hurt..."
She spoke and cried, her small body trembling violently.
"I wanted to pick the flowers... He bled a lot trying to save me..."
Zhang Xuejuan was stunned.
She looked down at the little girl who was crying her eyes out, and seeing the self-blame and fear on her face, her anxiety and worry suddenly softened.
She knelt down and reached out to wipe away Xiao Yunqing's tears.
"Okay, okay, don't cry," her voice softened. "Auntie knows you didn't mean it."
Xiao Yunqing shook her head, but tears still wouldn't stop.
"But...but he's in pain..."
Looking at her, Zhang Xuejuan suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for the child.
She pulled her into her arms and gently patted her back.
"It's okay, the doctor will heal him. Let's go see him together when he gets out, okay?"
Xiao Yunqing leaned on her shoulder and nodded vigorously.
But I still cried.
Xu Wan and Xiao Haifeng stood to the side, watching this scene, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.
They watched the small figure sobbing in Zhang Xuejuan's arms, saw her so heartbroken because of Song Huan's injury, and suddenly felt...
The bond between the two children seemed to be much deeper than they realized.
Xiao Haifeng walked over and patted Song Wentao on the shoulder.
"Old Song, I'm so sorry, it was all for saving my daughter..."
Song Wentao waved his hand.
"What are you saying? It's good that the child is alright."
He glanced at Xiao Yunqing, who was nestled in Zhang Xuejuan's arms, and then at the closed door at the end of the corridor.
"That kid's pretty manly."
Xiao Haifeng nodded.
He remembered what his daughter had just said.
The five-year-old boy rushed out without thinking at that moment.
If it were him, he wouldn't have done much either.
He took a deep breath and said something to himself.
Thanks, kid.
