Chapter 155: First in the City

Stone's scabs had all fallen off his back, and he had been applying the Scar Soothing Gel that Luo Qiao had mixed for him for several days. Besides studying, he occasionally went out to play with the village children.

Stone was now wearing new clothes made by Luo Qiao, and since he had told the village kids he would be going to school after this summer vacation, some of them were willing to play with him.

Sometimes Luo Qiao would give him some dried apricots she had prepared earlier to share with his playmates, so these days Stone had been getting along well with the children in the village.

While playing outside that day, they were asked for directions to Luo Qiao's house by two people who had entered the village. They said they were teachers from the commune's middle school and had come to deliver Luo Qiao's report card.
