"What are you doing?" I looked back at her and asked.
She pointed to the lanterns and balloons behind her that had not been hung on the tree, as well as the green plants at the door, and said, "Hang these lanterns on the tree for me. I can't reach them, and I can't move those green plants either."
."
I smiled and said: "Co-author, you asked me to work as a coolie for you, right?"
"It's just a favor. I'll treat you to dinner later."
After saying that, she added: "I cook it myself."
It's rare for me to see An Lan cook by herself. I have never even eaten the food she cooked. It's still unknown whether she can cook.
But I won't be fooled by her few words. I have to know the purpose of my coming here.
I waved to her: "Bye bye, find someone else! I don't have time."
After saying that, I turned around and was about to leave, but An Lan called out to me and said, "I know who you are going to find. He is not at home, so it is useless for you to go."
I was stunned on the spot, looked back at her again and said, "How do you know who I'm going to find?"
"Of course I know." She looked confident.
I found that I really couldn't understand her. It felt like she knew everything. But if she knew that Zhang Heng had a problem, why would she move here?
When I was still silent, An Lan suddenly said to me in a weaker tone: "Help me, I really can't do it."
"If you can't fix it, you can find someone!"
"I'm planning to find someone, but I want to arrange it today. I want to see how it works."
After saying that, she squinted her eyes and asked me with a smile: "Is that okay?"
I really didn’t want to have anything to do with her, so I persisted and shook my head and said, “I really can’t help you, so you’d better find someone else to do it.”
This time, I really left after I finished speaking.
I still went to Zhang Heng's residence to check, and sure enough he was not at home and the door was closed.
After waiting nearby for a while, he still didn't come back when it was getting dark, so I had no choice but to go home.
But when I was about to go back, I passed by An Lan again, and I saw that she was really carrying those heavy green plants alone.
She looked very strenuous, and the child's cry came from the back room. She seemed a little at a loss.
She shouted into the room: "Baby, don't cry, mommy will be here soon."
The child was so young that he couldn't understand what she said. He kept crying, probably because he was hungry.
I couldn't stand listening anymore, so I immediately walked to the door and started to complain from An Lan: "Your child is crying, didn't you hear it?"
Hearing my voice, An Lan raised his head and glanced at me, obviously feeling a little emotional about me.
She ignored me and continued to move the pot of green plants.
I walked into the yard feeling speechless, and finally said to her: "Let me do it. You go in quickly and check on your child to see if she is hungry."
After I took the flowerpot over, An Lan rushed into the house immediately.
I also quickly moved the green plants at the entrance of the yard to the yard and placed them where she placed them.
Some of these green plants are heavy, some are light, some are so heavy that it is difficult for me to carry them, let alone An Lan.
When I was about to finish moving, An Lan came out. She was still holding the baby in her arms, and the baby stopped crying.
I took a look at the child first, and then asked An Lan: "Is the moving place correct?"
"Well, please help me hang these lanterns on the tree. You can help me to the end, but I can't reach them either."
I said speechlessly: "It seems that I am much taller than you, but you can't reach me. Can I reach you?"
"There's a ladder over there."
I:""
I had no choice but to move the herringbone ladder over and ask her how to hang it. She said I could hang it however I wanted, as long as it looked good.
I first looked at the layout of the yard, and then thought about the rough renderings in my mind.
As I was thinking about it, I suddenly laughed, because I didn’t know where she got all this leisurely elegance. This was not the woman I knew!
As if An Lan saw through what I was thinking, she immediately said: "My mother said that now that I have a child, I should stop focusing all my energy on work. I think that's right. I should find fun in life.
I want to decorate my home beautifully. Imagine being in the yard at night and turning on all the colored lights. Wouldn’t it be very pleasant?”
I seemed to see a breath of "life" in the picture she sketched. I couldn't help but smile and said, "It's very pleasant."
When I took the lantern and stepped on the ladder to hang it on the tree, An Lan suddenly shouted to me: "Chen Feng, wait a moment."
"What?"
"I'll help you hold on, be careful." She said and walked back into the house.
After a while, she pushed out a stroller and then gently put the child into the stroller.
The child neither cried nor fussed, and even seemed to be laughing.
The moment I saw the child, my heart almost melted.
An Lan immediately came to the herringbone ladder and helped me hold the herringbone ladder with his hands. At the same time, he also handed me some tie ties and balloons.
After all this hard work, the balloons and lanterns were finally hung on the branches.
Then he worked hard and hung the remaining lanterns on other trees.
Not to mention, the yard is really a little more interesting when decorated like this.
Anyway, it looks better and smells more like fireworks than when I stayed here before.
I just put my hands behind my back and looked at her, An Lan was standing next to me, her eyes reflected the light of those lamps, making her look even more charming.
At this moment, it was really difficult for me to connect her now with her in the past, but she did a move that surprised me even more.
She handed me her cell phone, then stood under the trees with colored lights and asked me to take a photo of her.
I subconsciously asked: "Don't you always hate taking pictures?"
I remember one time when we were in two places and I missed her, I asked her to take a photo for me. She took a long time to take it.
Unexpectedly, now she actually asked me to take pictures of her!
"People can change, please hurry up and help me take a picture. I want to commemorate it."
I stared at her blankly, feeling that she was strange but also inexplicably very real.
Isn’t this what women should be like?
I finally raised An Lan's cell phone, and she leaned against the tree in a timely manner, making a very leisurely posture.
I can only call it a leisurely pose because she doesn't know how to pose.
I also conscientiously chose the best shooting angle, and then fixed her figure in the lens.
She said to me again: "Wait a minute, wait until I take a photo with the baby!"
As she spoke, she picked up the child from the stroller and stood under the tree.
The colorful lights shone on her such a beautiful face, and I suddenly felt a little lost.
After being stunned for a while, I finally came to my senses and picked up my phone to take a photo of the scene.
An Lan took the phone from me. After feeling satisfied, he posted a message on Moments with the title "This Night".
I'm really surprised!
Because she hasn’t posted on WeChat Moments for ten thousand years, she actually posted a selfie of herself and her children!
