Xia Wan opened the car door and got out, while Chen MO seemed to want to say something but ultimately remained silent.
Upon opening the door to her home, Xia Wan saw her entire family already seated at the dining table, waiting just for her.
“Is it a festival today? Why are there so many delicious dishes?” Xia Wan exclaimed in surprise, seeing a table full of food.
Xia Hai and Yan Han, accustomed to frugality, never indulged in extravagance even though their life had improved.
A meal for the five family members usually consisted of just a few simple dishes.
“Today we have something to celebrate!” Xia Hai said cheerfully, his smile almost overflowing.
Xia Wan glanced around and noticed Xia Chen smiling shyly with his head lowered.
She figured it must be about today’s hosting of the foreign delegation.
She had planned to return to school in the afternoon to check on Xia Chen’s situation, but a series of events occurred, and by the time she returned, it was already dinner time, so she decided not to go back to school.
“You and your brother are at the same school, and you don’t even know that your brother made a big impression at school today!” Xia Feng said somewhat discontentedly.
“What happened?” Xia Wan asked curiously, hanging up her coat and hurrying to the dining table.
Yan Han tapped Xia Wan’s hand, “Go wash your hands!”
Xia Wan stuck out her tongue and obediently ran to wash her hands before returning to the table.
“Tell me, tell me!” Xia Wan urged Xia Chen while sitting down, “What exactly happened?”
Xia Feng immediately took on a proud demeanor, as if he was the one who had made the impression, “Today, your brother was sent home by the visiting delegation’s car!”
“Even your school’s principal came along! ”
Xia Wan waved her hand impatiently, “Hey, stop messing around, I don’t want to hear from you!”
“Brother, what exactly happened?” Xia Wan stared intently at Xia Chen.
“Yes, tell us! What exactly happened?” Xia Feng also blinked curiously.
Xia Hai and Yan Han smiled silently, eagerly looking at Xia Chen.
Xia Chen’s face couldn’t hide his shyness, “It’s actually not a big deal. Just today, some members of the visiting delegation ran into a bit of trouble, and I helped solve it.
“They sent a car especially to thank me and take me home. “The principal and others came along because they heard about the incident.”
Xia Wan blinked rapidly. “What trouble did they encounter?”
“It’s not really a big deal,” Xia Chen said with a wry smile. “It’s just that the visitors didn’t understand our local customs. During an afternoon outing, someone mistakenly put a clay statue used for ancestor worship into their backpack to take away.
“They were discovered before they even reached the door.
“At that moment, a sincere apology would probably have sufficed.
“But the members of the delegation thought it was just a souvenir on the table and tried to pay for it.
“Naturally, the owners were unwilling, and a commotion ensued.”
Xia Wan frowned, “Didn’t the person leading the delegation explain what they should be aware of?”
Xia Chen shook his head, “The teachers leading the team, Chen and Zhang, were busy resolving the conflict and didn’t notice these things.”
“Resolving a conflict?” Xia Wan was even more puzzled, “Between whom?”
Xia Chen sighed, “I don’t know what Zhou Chen and Song Zhi were arguing about, but they ended up involving a member of the visiting delegation who got hurt.
“At that time, Teacher Chen had to take the injured person to the waiting car to treat the wound. Fortunately, it was just a scrape on the arm, nothing serious.
“Teacher Zhang was calming the other students and making sure Zhou Chen and Song Zhi didn’t start arguing again.
“The leader of the foreign delegation was nowhere to be seen at that time, probably off touring on their own.
“Overall, the situation was a bit chaotic,” Xia Chen said, sighing lightly.
“These idiots!” Xia Wan couldn’t help but mutter under her breath.
“How was the person who took the statue dealt with?” Xia Wan continued to inquire.
Xia Feng looked at Xia Chen curiously, “Was there any punishment? I heard that disturbing ancestor worship statues can bring disaster to the whole family!
“And this one was directly stolen! Isn’t it like stealing the ancestors themselves?
“Wouldn’t their family go crazy?
Xia Feng’s tone could hardly conceal his excitement..
