“Our schools have achieved great results this time!” The principal smiled, “Don’t be in a hurry to go back this afternoon. After the interview, I’ll treat everyone to a meal at the best restaurant in the Capital.”
Tan Rou did not have the mood to stay for dinner. “I’m sorry, Principal. I have to leave first.”
The principal said, “There will be an interview later. You won first place. How can you leave early?”
“Today is my father’s birthday. I have to go back and celebrate his birthday. Principal, you can tell me about the interview.” Tan Rou said as she walked away.
When the principal heard Tan Rou was returning to celebrate her father’s birthday, he couldn’t ask her to stay. “Go celebrate your father’s birthday quickly. I’ll help you with the interview.”
Tan Rou put the trophy that had just been awarded into her bag. “I’m leaving.” After saying that, he slipped out the door when the reporters weren’t paying attention.
Tao Yue was overjoyed to see Tan Rou leave. Normally, the reporters would interview the first place, but now that the first place had left, the reporters would turn to interview the second place.
Although Tao Yue was second, it didn’t affect her desire to be interviewed. She quietly touched up her makeup and adjusted her dress while waiting for the reporters to come over for an interview.
Tan Rou thought that she had already slipped away. When she reached the door, she was stopped by a few old men with white hair.
“Little girl, it really is you!” When one of the old men saw her, his eyes were red as he said, “I haven’t seen you in these few years. How have you been?”
Tan Rou knew that she would meet these old men. As long as she went to the capital to compete, these old men would definitely be aware of it. However, she did not want to admit it immediately. She wanted to tease them for a while. “What’s the matter, grandpas? Can’t find the toilet?” Tan Rou asked innocently. The old men looked at each other and asked Tan Rou, “Don’t you recognize us?” Tan Rou frowned and pretended to be thinking hard. After thinking for a long time, she still shook her head. “I don’t seem to remember where I met you.”
At this moment, Tao Zheng, waiting outside the door, also walked over. When he saw a few strange old men surrounding his sister, he said angrily. “What’s wrong with you, old people? Why are you surrounding a little girl?”
The few old men immediately stepped back and apologized, “We’re sorry. We thought this little girl looked familiar, so we came to say hello.”
“Third Sister, do you know them?” Tao Zheng asked Tan Rou.
“Third Sister? Aren’t you an only child?” One of the old men asked curiously. “Where did you come from? Could you be her cousin?”
When Tao Zheng heard the words of these strange old men, he said angrily, “She’s my biological sister! What cousin? Who are you? If you repeat something strange, 1’11 call the police.”
Tan Rou pulled Tao Zheng back. “Forget it, Second Brother. These old men don’t seem to be in their right minds. Let’s not call the police. Today is Dad’s birthday; let’s go back and celebrate his birthday!”
The old men were heartbroken. “Little girl, not only do you not recognize us, but you also say we are mentally ill. This really makes us sad.”
Tan Rou sneered in her heart. The incident back then not only made her sad, but it also hurt her body. Now, she did not want to return to that place, so she would pretend that she did not know these old men.
Although these old men treated her well and like a granddaughter, Tan Rou still wanted to return to her family and did not want others to ruin her current life.
“Second brother, let’s go!” Tan Rou dragged Tao Zheng away. “Goodbye, grandpas!” After saying that, she ran away like a gust of wind, afraid the old men behind him would catch up.
“I’m sure that that’s her!” The impatient old man said.
“But she doesn’t remember us,” said another.
“I’m so sad. 1 treated her like my granddaughter, but she doesn’t remember Grandpa.” The red-eyed old man finally cried.
After Tan Rou got into the car, she rolled down the window and said to Tao Zheng, “Second Brother, just start the car first. After I’m done talking, you can drive away.”
Tao Zheng didn’t understand what she wanted to do, but he did as she said.
Tan Rou looked out the window and shouted, “Y’all are getting older and older! Hurry up and cut off your beards!”
