Lin Lan decided to emphasise that in the next publicity talk, no one was allowed to touch Xiaowang’s head.

Xiaowang immediately rubbed against her, “Only mother can touch me.”

Lin Lan patted him carefully as she was afraid that if she touched his hair too much, he would lose his hair, which would be troublesome.

She still remembered that when Wangwang was a child, the children had petted the dog all day long and caused the puppy to start balding, which was horrific.

Of course, that was also due to the dog’s shedding.

Lin Lan also provided Xiaowang some knowledge about physical hygiene, such as not allowing people to touch his little JJ, not allowing people to kiss him casually and it especially applied to teenage children. They were ignorant and curious, so they tended to do things on impulse very easily.

Xiaowang listened carefully.

Lin Lan also made up nursery rhymes that she vaguely remembered and sang to Xiaowang, “…shorts and vests protect the body, others aren’t allowed to touch! Say it loudly!”

Xiaowang could sing it as well after learning it once, but his voice was very sweet.

Lin Lan told him again, “Your little JJ is a place to pee. You can’t let others touch it and you shouldn’t move it yourself, too. However, you have to wash it with clean water every day. If bugs get in, it will hurt…”

Xiaowang listened very carefully, “Little JJ, if bugs get you, you can’t see clearly,” He also pointed to his eyes, implying that if his member’s were to be infiltrated by bugs and insects, it wouldn’t be able to see clearly, so it would hurt.

Lin Lan praised him, “You are a very good child. In the future, I will ask the other kids to listen to you too.”

At noon, when the children came back for lunch, Lin Lan quietly asked Maisui and Erwang, “Was Xiaowang not happy in class today?”

The two shook their heads, “It went very well, what’s the matter? Teacher Huo taught him a tune and he was very happy. Later, when Teacher Huo went to teach classes, he played by himself.”

Lin Lan, “Nothing’s wrong, don’t worry.”

She asked Sanwang again, “Sanwang, has anyone bullied your younger brother?”

Sanwang, “No, who would bully him when I’m around?!”

Lin Lan smiled and said, “You really seem like an older brother.”

When Lin Lan asked this question, they realised that Xiaowang was particularly bummed today. He merely sat aside and played his harmonica for a bit before stopping altogether.

They were all puzzled, “Xiaowang, what’s the matter?”

Xiaowang shook his head, “Nothing.”

Sanwang rolled up his sleeves, “Who is bullying you? Tell me and I’ll beat him up!” As he said that, he was about to storm out, but was brought back by Dawang.

After eating, the children continued to go to school. Seeing that Xiaowang was feeling down, Lin Lan took him with her and went to find Dong Huaihua together.

Han Qingsong didn’t come back for dinner at night and he didn’t get home until 8 o’clock.

“You seem really busy today,” Lin Lan warmed up his meal.

Han Qingsong seemed to have achieved a big case, so with a relaxed expression, he added, “Come with me tomorrow.”

“Why do you need me when you’re working?” Lin Lan was puzzled.

Han Qingsong, “Just come along.”

Still remaining silent? Despite her doubts, Lin Lan didn’t push him any further and agreed.

The next morning, she told Maisui to take Xiaowang with her before she went out with Han Qingsong.

It took a long time to get to their destination by bike, which was a Brigade under Beicheng Commune, dozens of miles away from their home.
