The Lin family's little boy returns to being eight years old, taking his family to new heights.

Chapter 213 Dong Yongshu and Du Ying's Home Visit

“A reporter took a picture of you and your dad. It’s okay, other people probably won’t recognize you.”

Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

In fact, quite a few people recognized them: the soldiers from Henan Province who were repairing the dam, and the experts from Anhui Province. They didn't know Lin Xi and Lin Dayuan, but they recognized their uniforms.

Professor Zhang stared at the television, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

Later, he conducted a series of tests on the dam and found that it would not collapse even if it was bombarded by cannons continuously.

Meanwhile, the engineer Xiao Li, who had been mocking Lin Xi and her father, embarked on a path of no return after seeing the news, going straight to a Taoist temple and studying talismans and incantations every day...

Another week has passed in the blink of an eye.

Since learning about Lin Xi's abilities, Fu Wenyuan and Wu Jingshu have been eating and sleeping well.

Lin Guiying receives text messages from her granddaughter every day, which puts her mind at ease, allowing her to return to her joyful life of square dancing in her old age.

Everyone is used to having the TV on every day to keep up with the latest news in Jiangsu Province.

The phone rang; it was the community security office calling.

"Hey, Aunt Lin, there are two people at the door who say they are Xiaoxi's principal and homeroom teacher."

Lin Guiying's heart skipped a beat. "They're here?"

"Oh, they came to visit, saying they couldn't get in touch with Xiaoxi's father and were very worried about Xiaoxi's condition."

Lin Guiying really wanted to pretend she wasn't home, but since people were so worried about Xiaoxi, she felt embarrassed to turn them away.

"Xiaotian, could you bring them in for me?"

While waiting, Lin Guiying kept rehearsing in her mind. She absolutely couldn't let anything slip this time, or she would not only embarrass herself but also leave a bad impression on Teacher Hui.

A knock sounded at the door, and Lin Guiying greeted everyone with a smile, "Hello, hello, I'm Xiaoxi's grandmother. Thank you for coming to see Xiaoxi. Come in and have a cup of tea."

After Dong Yongshu and Du Ying sat down, Lin Guiying busied herself serving tea and water, and also brought some pastries that Wu Jingshu had made earlier.

If Lin Xi were here, she would know that her grandmother was nervous, and when she was nervous, she would keep busy.

Du Ying kept thanking him, while Dong Yongshu, being straightforward, said directly, "Grandma Lin, please sit down. We came here mainly to see Lin Xi."

Du Ying explained gently, "Grandma Lin, I am Du Ying, Xiao Xi's homeroom teacher. Xiao Xi's father asked for leave before, saying that Xiao Xi had a cold and fever and would come back to school after she recovered."

But it's been half a month and the child still hasn't come. I can't get through to Xiaoxi's father on the phone either. I'm quite worried, so I thought I'd come and check on him.

When Principal Dong found out, he was also very concerned about Xiao Xi's health, so he came over with her.

I wonder how her health is now?

Lin Guiying spoke as if reciting a script, "I'm sorry, Principal Dong, Teacher Du, for making you worry. Xiaoxi is fine. Her fever has subsided a long time ago. She just feels weak and isn't in good spirits. Her father thinks that she might have been under too much pressure from staying up late to study, so he took her out to play and relax."

After saying this, Lin Guiying said with genuine emotion, "Oh dear, our Xiaoxi has never liked to play since she was little. Other children her age are running around in the streets, but she stays in her room all day reading and studying. She won't go out to play even when we ask her to."

As parents, we are certainly pleased to see our children love learning, but we can't expect them to study all day and night like this.

I only have one granddaughter, and I love her dearly. After all these years of studying, it's good for her to go out and have some fun now, isn't it?

Du Ying nodded in agreement, "Grandma Lin, you're right. Xiao Xi must have put in a lot of effort to reach this level at such a young age. I've seen her hard work at school."

Don't worry, the school has no objections. Xiaoxi can come back whenever she wants.

Anyway, she has already finished her self-study, so it's fine if she doesn't come for a semester.

Dong Yongshu was more rational, his brows furrowed deeply, "Grandma Lin, I saw her performance in military training. She has excellent physical fitness and strong resilience. How could she suddenly feel weak?"

Have you taken Xiaoxi to the hospital for a checkup? Is there something else wrong with her health?

Lin Guiying nervously rubbed the hem of her clothes with both hands. "Ah, Principal Dong, you're right. When they come back, I'll have my son take Xiaoxi to the hospital for a checkup."

Upon hearing this, Du Ying also became worried. "Grandma Lin, if you can contact Xiaoxi's father, please have him take Xiaoxi for a check-up now. The child's health..."

At that moment, a familiar voice came from the television, "I just did what I wanted to do. There aren't that many reasons. I don't want to be interviewed. Go interview someone else!"

The three of them looked at the television screen together.

A man snatched the microphone from the reporter and said, "Xiao Xi doesn't like interviews. Let me tell you, when we were delivering supplies, the roads were full of rocks, steel bars, branches and other debris washed down by the flood. Xiao Xi and her father are naturally strong and kept helping us clear the roads. Otherwise, we don't know how much longer it would have taken. After that, they followed us around to carry out rescue operations."

Don't let her young age fool you, she's never complained about being tired or overworked. I'm so grateful to have her; she has sharp eyesight and great skills, she's saved so many people for me..."

On the television screen, only half of the man's face was visible, while the camera was mainly focused on Lin Xi.

The little girl was facing away from the camera, shoveling mud with such efficiency and skill that it seemed like she was a child.

Lin Guiying was immediately embarrassed. What a blunder! She had forgotten to turn off the TV.

She said with an unnatural expression, "Hehe, how did this child end up volunteering in Jiangsu Province? I didn't even know. My son is really unreliable; he actually conspired with the child to lie to me."

Yes, it has nothing to do with me, I don't know anything about it.

It was all lies they told.

Du Ying didn't know what to say, so the cold and all that was fake? And Xiao Xi's father too, how could he take Xiao Xi, who is so young, to the disaster area?

Looking at the energetic and strong little girl on TV, Dong Yongshu understood everything.

"Ahem, it's good that Xiaoxi is kind-hearted, but she's only nine years old. These things are too dangerous for her."

You should talk to your son properly. As parents, you should set a good example. However, we don't encourage children to experience this kind of life firsthand.

This was already the most tactful thing Dong Yongshu could say; he almost said that Xiaoxi's parents were unqualified.

Lin Guiying nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, Principal Dong is right. When he comes back, I will definitely not let him off easily..."

After Dong Yongshu and Du Ying left, Lin Guiying collapsed onto the sofa. Well, she had managed to hide everything, both what she should and shouldn't have kept secret.

Lin Xi received a text message from Lin Guiying that evening. She handed the phone to Lin Dayuan with a slightly guilty expression.

Sorry, Dad, I've made you take the blame.
