After a few simple exchanges, Xiao Xiao, Zhuge Yun, and Zhao Lu climbed into the open trunk of the car and sat down just as they had arrived.
Zhang Bo also got into the passenger seat.
"Drive carefully."
Auntie warned Uncle Zhang.
"Know."
Uncle Zhang responded, then waved his hand, "Then let's go."
"Goodbye, aunt."
Xiao Xiao and others said goodbye to their aunt.
"Hey, goodbye."
Auntie stood there and watched the car disappear at the end of the road, then turned and entered the house.
...
"Uncle, goodbye."
"goodbye."
"Abo, and you guys, uncle, you are welcome to come and play at any time."
"Don't be polite to me."
Then, Uncle Zhang said with some regret, "As a result, that boy Ah He still hasn't seen you."
"After all, Ah He is a student preparing for the exam."
Zhang Bo smiled and said, "There is nothing we can do about the holiday being late."
"See you later, too."
"Um."
Uncle Zhang looked at the time and said, "Okay, you guys go in quickly."
"Sit inside for a while and you'll be able to check in."
"Uncle, let's go."
"Uncle Zhang, goodbye."
"Uncle Zhang, please go back."
...
After everyone waved to Uncle Zhang, they turned and walked towards the security checkpoint.
...
But after entering the security checkpoint, everyone separated.
After all, each of them has a different destination.
"Brothers, see you next year."
Zhang Bo grinned.
"See you next year."
After everyone looked at each other and smiled, they dragged their suitcases and walked towards the ticket gate marked on their tickets.
...
Walking on the familiar bluestone slab, Xiao Xiao's heart became calmer.
The white walls and black tiles on both sides are somewhat peeling, showing some traces of the wheels of time.
The branches sticking out of the wall no longer have the lush greenery of midsummer, but are sparse and sparse, but they also have a different air of sparseness and tranquility.
Xiao Xiao raised his eyes.
Home is just ahead.
...
Xiao's Teahouse also posted couplets, the Chinese character "Fu" and hung red lanterns.
A festive atmosphere.
Although the Chinese New Year is coming, the teahouse is not very deserted.
They are all old people who come to drink tea and chat.
The children of these old people were not around, and they did not come to reunite with them so early, so they all came to the teahouse to pass the time.
…
"Hey, Xiaoxiao, school is on holiday?"
"Xiaoxiao is back."
…
Several regular customers greeted Xiao Xiao one after another.
Xiao Xiao also responded with a smile.
"Xiaoxiao, are you back?"
Xiao's mother heard the noise outside, opened the kitchen door curtain and walked out.
Behind her came Grandma Xiao, her eyes narrowed with laughter, "Xiaoxiao is back."
"Mom, grandma, I'm back."
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows are curved.
"Hey, just come back."
There was a pleasant smile in the corners of Xiao's eyes and eyebrows, and then she asked with concern, "Are you tired from the journey?"
She knew that Xiao Xiao had gone to Zhang Bo's uncle's house to play.
It is still quite far away from Yanjing.
Without waiting for Xiao Xiao's answer, she had already made arrangements, "Your father and grandfather are in the kitchen. Go tell them that you are back, and then go to the house to have a good rest."
"Mom, I'm not very tired."
Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly, "It's just that I haven't had tea for some time, and I miss our tea."
"Hey, okay."
Xiao's mother took a closer look at Xiao Xiao's expression and found that there was indeed no trace of tiredness on the child's face, so she smiled and agreed, "Then you will find a seat and sit down later, and I will bring you tea.
"
"There are also refreshments for Ah Jiu and Ah Bai."
Xiao's mother bent down and looked at the little white fox in Xiao Xiao's arms and the white snake on Xiao Xiao's wrist with a smile, "Ah Jiu, Ah Bai also misses the refreshments at home, right?"
The little white fox opened his half-closed eyes, and the narrow corners of his eyes curved into the shape of a crescent moon, flashing with little pink lights.
"Hiss~"
The white snake stood up, its silver scales covered with a layer of gorgeous color under the halo of the red lantern, as if it had been smeared with bright rouge.
"hehe."
The reaction of the two little guys made Mother Xiao laugh even more heartily.
"Don't worry, I will prepare a lot of delicious snacks for you."
Xiao's mother knew that although these two little guys were small, they had amazing appetites.
…
After Xiao Xiao said hello to Xiao's father and grandfather, he found a seat by the window and sat down.
The red rosewood carved screen on the side isolates a bit from the excitement of the lobby.
The all-too-familiar scent of elegant tea lingering in his breath made the corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth curl up even more.
My heart also calmed down.
…
The little white fox and the white snake are also in a good mood.
Especially after hearing the familiar footsteps, their eyes lit up.
Xiao Xiao lowered his head knowingly, and a hint of amusement flashed across his face.
"Xiaoxiao."
Xiao's mother came from behind the screen.
Xiao Xiao stood up, took a few steps forward, and took the tray from Xiao's mother's hand.
The white fox jumped onto Xiao Xiao's shoulder, and when he saw that there were only teapots and teacups on the tray, his sparkling eyes dimmed a bit.
"Hiss~"
The white snake stretched out its body and lay softly on Xiao Xiao's wrist, its voice was a little weak.
The straightforward reactions of the two little guys made Mother Xiao couldn't help laughing.
"Sorry, refreshments are being made."
"It still needs a little time."
"It'll be ready soon."
"Ah Jiu, Ah Bai, please wait a little longer."
Xiao's mother comforted the disappointed two.
Xiao Xiao placed the teapot and teacups on the table, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Mom."
"You ask grandpa and dad to take care of the guests first."
"I'll just take my time here."
Little White Fox and White Snake looked at Mother Xiao clearly.
Similar eye colors reveal a bit of Baba.
Coupled with the good looks of the two, the lethality was so great that Xiao's mother was "defeated" at once, "Ah Jiu, Ah Bai, don't worry, the guests' refreshments have been served, and your snacks are being made in the kitchen now.
Woolen cloth."
"I'll go take a look now and send it to you when it's ready."
The little white fox and white snake exude a cheerful atmosphere.
Xiao Xiao:......
He shook his head slightly.
These two guys.
For the sake of snacks, they actually "sold their appearance".
…
Xiao's mother went to the kitchen again.
Xiao Xiao poured himself a cup of tea. The tea was fragrant and refreshing.
Just when I was about to drink tea, the vibrating sound of my cell phone came from my pocket.
After Xiao Xiao took a sip of tea, he put down the cup and took out his mobile phone from his pocket.
Looking at the caller ID, he suddenly felt something.
Could it be...
He answered the phone and said, "Boss."
...
"Lao San, Uncle Li is dead."
really.
"Just now, I received a call from my uncle. He told me that Uncle Li was gone."
"well."
Zhang Bo sighed, "Uncle Li still hasn't survived this year."
"It's only a few days away."
...
"Said he left at home."
...
"That day, my uncle took them to the hospital. I originally wanted to send them to the ward."
