Orphan girl reborn: Why are you clinging to me?

Two days later, Chen Chao came back to school.

He looked a little thinner, and his formerly chubby face was obviously smaller, looking more like the adult Chen Chao Lin Luo had seen.

Fortunately, he was in good condition. Although he didn't talk as much as before, he was still keen on class activities and started organizing rehearsals for the graduation stage play after class.

It is now mid-June, and next Friday will be the time for the graduation performance. The students will perform on stage, and the school will also invite parents of the graduating class to watch.

The students attach great importance to this. Students in the actor group have to participate in rehearsals and rehearsals, and are in charge of activity committee member Chen Chao. Students who do not perform on stage belong to the logistics group, and have to prepare props and other performance supplies, and class monitor Luo Hui is in charge.

Luo Hui, as her name suggests, is a smart and capable girl. She is the daughter of Luo Rensheng, a good friend of Chen Chao's father. She and Chen Chao have known each other since childhood, but they have not gotten along since childhood.

While Chen Chao was still battling wits with his father and cheating on his homework, Luo Hui had already finished her homework and was helping her father look after the store.

Chen Chao couldn't stand Luo Hui's obedient and good-natured attitude, and Luo Hui also couldn't stand Chen Chao's playfulness and lack of ambition.

However, as the adults of the two families were on good terms, the children could not avoid seeing each other more frequently. The gatherings between the two families often became Luo Hui's praise meetings and Chen Chao's criticism meetings.

Chen Chao avoided this, and Luo Hui felt embarrassed at the scene.

The adults of both families hope that they can become good friends and can help each other and make progress together.

Only at this moment can the two of them reach an agreement: "Let's forget about being friends or something like that."

During the preparations for this stage play, Chen Chao, the head of the actor group, and Luo Hui, the head of the logistics group, inevitably met on a narrow road.

Chen Chao looked at the props brought by Luo Hui with disgust.

"These toy guns look too fake, and they are also colorful. When you take them on stage, you will immediately make a show."

"And these clothes are so ugly. Our classmates who play warriors have to wear camouflage uniforms to look good."

Luo Hui listened to the props prepared by her team and was criticized by Chen Chao, so she immediately refuted it.

"These toy guns were all brought by my classmates from home, and it was hard to get enough of them. We also bought these clothes, and we went to a tailor shop to ask a master to make them in batches. I asked my grandpa what they were doing back then. They wear clothes like this. During the war, when they didn’t have enough to eat, how could they have the money to buy camouflage clothes?”

Chen Chao looked at Luo Hui suspiciously: "I don't believe it. Your grandfather has seen it with his own eyes?"

"Of course," Luo Hui raised her head proudly upon hearing this, "Do you dare to follow me after school to meet my grandpa?"

Chen Chao was not to be outdone: "Just go."

------

Lin Luo didn't understand why he should follow them when they went to seek an answer.

"Our answer requires a witness," Luo Hui said.

Fortunately, Luo Hui's grandfather lived with them and often stayed at his family's grocery store to help, so the three of them went to Luo's family's grocery store together.

Lin Luo originally thought that the matter was simple and he could leave after just chatting with the old man.

Only when I met Grandpa Luo did I realize that things were a little troublesome.

When the three of them arrived, the old man was sitting in front of the store basking in the sun. When he saw his granddaughter coming back, he happily waved her over and took out a fruit candy from his trouser pocket, stuffed it into Luo Hui's hand and said: , "Eat quickly, your dad didn't see it."

Luo Hui didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Grandpa, I'm not a child anymore. My dad no longer cares about me eating sweets."

Chen Chao and Lin Luo walked over and said hello to Grandpa Luo Hui: "Hello, Grandpa Luo."

Chen Chao then said: "Grandpa Luo, we have some questions about costumes and props and want to ask you for advice..."

Before Chen Chao could finish speaking, Grandpa Luo Hui suddenly grabbed Chen Chao's hand and said, "Maocai, you have been eating well recently and have gained a lot of weight."

Chen Chao looked at Luo Hui with confusion on his face.

Luo Hui shrugged, spread her hands and said, "There's nothing we can do today. My grandfather was diagnosed with early-stage Alzheimer's disease last year. Now it's good and bad. We can't ask anything today."

Only then did Lin Luo realize that Grandpa Luo Hui was not here to help in the store. His family was worried about him, so they brought him to the store and kept an eye on him at all times.

Chen Chao was a little unwilling. He took out the clothes prepared by the logistics team from his schoolbag and unfolded them for Grandpa Luo Hui to see.

"Grandpa Luo, when you fought against the enemy, did you wear this kind of clothes?"

Grandpa Luo Hui took the clothes from Chen Chao's hand, looked at them over and over again, and then threw them to Chen Chao in disgust.

"These are the clothes that people wore in the past. They were not good. Now that life is better, we can wear nice clothes."

Seeing that there was something going on, Chen Chao asked next.

"Did you have uniform clothing at that time? For example, camouflage uniforms. You could hide in the woods, ambush the enemy, take advantage of them, and give them a fatal blow."

Grandpa Luo Hui kept shaking his head, but pointed at the clothes in Chen Chao's hand and repeated, "Old clothes are too ugly and not good."

Seeing that Chen Chao still wanted to ask, Lin Luo took his arm and advised, "Forget it, Chen Chao, Grandpa Luo is not in good health, so don't ask."

Chen Chao listened to Lin Luo's advice and saw the worried look on Luo Hui's face, so he silently put away his clothes.

Lin Luo's words also attracted Grandpa Luo Hui's attention. He looked at Lin Luo intently for a few times, and when others were not paying attention, he stuffed a tablet into Lin Luo's hand.

Lin Luo was about to ask when she saw Grandpa Luo Hui nervously waving his hand at her and putting his index finger to his mouth to signal her to keep it secret.

Lin Luo had no choice but to say nothing. Seeing Chen Chao entering the store and greeting Uncle Luo, she followed him in.

"Hello, Uncle Luo, I am Luo Hui's classmate, and my name is Lin Luo."

"Hello, I know you. Luo Hui said that your grades were very good. You were 2 points higher than her in the last math test."

Lin Luo smiled shyly and looked at Grandpa Luo Hui at the door of the store. When he saw that he was not looking, he took out the thing in his hand. It seemed to be a white plastic fragment, half the size of Lin Luo's hand.

"Uncle Luo, Grandpa Luo just pushed this into my hand. I don't know what it is, so I'd better give it back to you."

Uncle Luo curiously picked up the fragment and looked at it.

"This isn't something from our family. Alas, your Grandpa Luo is a little confused. He doesn't know where he picked it up. If you like it, just play with it. If you don't, just throw it away."

With that said, Uncle Luo returned the fragment to Lin Luo's hand.

"Okay then." Lin Luo was embarrassed to throw it away in front of others, so he had to put away the white fragments.

Chen Chao and Luo Hui were still discussing the stage play. She went over to say goodbye to them and went home alone.

The moment Lin Luo walked into the Wang family's ancestral house, she felt that the fragment in her pocket suddenly became warm. She took out the fragment and checked it. There was nothing abnormal. She didn't care, put the fragment into her schoolbag, and walked back to her room. .
