13. Don't think about returning empty-handed

Xiaobai sat on a small stool, holding a glass bottle, looking up at Zhang Tan who was walking around the house with his little head raised. Seeing that he didn't go to the kitchen, he asked curiously: "Uncle, why don't you make a meal?"

"

Zhang Tan glanced sideways at the clock hanging on the wall and said, "It's already 9 o'clock. I've eaten outside."

"Oh." Xiaobai nodded his head, then remembered something and said unhappily: "Then you don't want to play with me with your paws? What do you mean?"

Zhang Tan used to excuse not eating, so he didn't play football with her.

"emmmm~~~~"

"Hmm what? You are so embarrassed, what are you doing?"

What's going on? Why do you feel like you're asking for punishment? Do you want me to compensate you?

"...I'm sorry." Zhang Tan confessed, "I lied. In fact, it was too late and it was already dark. Is this okay? I will play football with you tomorrow."

Xiaobai was stunned by his words and looked at his face curiously. This was the first time an adult had said sorry to her. Aren't only children saying sorry?

"Oh. That's great. Don't lie to me."

"I will never lie to you. By the way, do you like being a striker?"

Xiaobai was confused: "What? Bee? Is it a bee?"

It turned out that she was a newbie in football, so Zhang Tan did not embarrass her and said, "How about I be the goalkeeper tomorrow and you take the shot?"

Xiaobai understood this and said confidently: "Don't be joking. Playing football is my strong point. Don't blame me if it hurts you~"

Zhang Tan smiled and said: "I definitely don't blame you, just come over here."

"What are you bringing here?"

"……horse."

"Why did you let the horses come here? Let the dogs come here."

"..."

That makes sense.

Zhang Tan took out the grapes from the refrigerator, washed them, put them on a small plate, brought them to Xiaobai, and invited her to eat.

Xiaobai took a quick look and did not move. Instead, he raised the glass bottle and said, "Uncle, do you still want to see my penis?"

"Dintin Cat? I won't read it. You can keep it for yourself."

"Then I'll let Tintin Cat go."

She stood up and asked Zhang Tan if she could go to his balcony. After receiving permission, she carried the glass bottle over, reached in with her little hand from the mouth of the bottle, gently caught the dragonfly, held it in her palm, and let it fly.

Zhang Tan asked curiously: "Don't you like Tintin Cat?"

Xiaobai watched the Tintin cat fly away and disappeared, then reluctantly returned to the house and replied: "I will catch it tomorrow."

"Then you let it go?"

"Let Tintin the cat go find his mother for a while. He wants to go to sleep."

"……All right."

"Bye~"

"Ah? What for?"

"I'm leaving, bye~"

It really comes in a hurry and goes in a hurry.

Zhang Tan politely asked to stay: "Sit for a while longer."

Xiaobai put on the little shoes placed at the door and said that she was busy and wanted to play with the children.

"Then bring some small grapes to eat."

"Don't eat it, don't eat it."

"Eat some, I've prepared it for you. Why don't you give me face?"

This child always refused to eat his food, which made him feel a little frustrated.

Not enthusiastic enough?

You must be passionate today.

"Don't eat it, don't eat it."

"Eat a little, eat a little, here you go."

"This is not good~~~~"

"What's wrong? Come on, give me some face."

They all made Zhang Tan sound like Trump.

He enthusiastically poured the grapes from the small saucer into a crisper and stuffed them into Xiaobai's hands. He wanted it even if he didn't want it, so he didn't want to run away empty-handed.

Since Zhang Tan was so enthusiastic, Xiaobai couldn't bear to dampen his enthusiasm.

"This is not good~~~Take it back and give it to the children to eat."

She took the crisper box and said: "There are so many, this is not good~~~"

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's very, very good."

"How can I thank you?"

She was very serious when she said this.

"Then why don't you sing a song for me."

Xiaobai has no stage fright, he just speaks.

"Tang Monk is riding a horse, and behind him is Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong, run fast, and behind him is a pig..."

I finished singing a Sichuan tune.

"Do you want it?" Xiaobai asked.

"I have to have it, it sounds great."

Zhang Tan sent the child out and said uneasily, "I'll take you downstairs. Walk slowly."

Xiaobai asked: "Is there a ghost?"

"..." Zhang Tan squeezed his sweat and said, "That's not true."

When Xiaobai heard that there were no ghosts, she immediately waved him back, saying that she was not afraid of ghosts. She was afraid of a ghost.

Zhang Tan heard that the guard Lao Li said that she liked to sneak out to play in the yard, and he was not at ease. He did not come back until he handed her over to Teacher Xiaoliu.

After returning home, Zhang Tan saw small slippers neatly placed in the corner of the entrance hall, and they were not even worn.

Little White Children's Shoes is so well-behaved, well, provided she doesn't get angry, curse, or fight.

The air conditioner was turned on in the room, and Zhang Tan closed the doors and windows of the balcony tightly. Suddenly he saw a dragonfly parked on the balcony, which seemed to be the one Xiaobai let fly.

Why didn't you listen to Xiaobai and go find your mother?

He turned off the main light in the room and turned on only the spotlight above the sofa. He put his laptop on his knees and found a newly released movie. He had seen its promotional video on the subway yesterday. It was very exciting.

It would be great if there was a projector. Projecting movies directly on the wall would be much more enjoyable than being limited to an 18-inch laptop screen.

This movie is called "The Chaser" and it is a modern kung fu movie.

Zhang Tan did not watch the movie immediately, but found the real-time box office. It was released for 5 days and the box office exceeded 1 billion. There is no doubt that it is a box office bomb this summer, kicking off this year's exciting summer season.

The box office is not the focus of Zhang Tan's attention, but the reviews are. The most liked movie review is titled "The Chaser, a homage to traditional martial arts movies that inherits and innovates".

Below this film review is another article "(Contains spoilers, please read with caution) "The Chaser": A new level of violent aesthetics"

Zhang Tan started the second chapter without hesitation. He had a habit of knowing the result first, otherwise he would feel uncomfortable, like a cat scratching his itch. He even wanted to skip the movie to the last 5 minutes and watch it again after watching the end.

.

At the end of this film review, it is said that "The Chaser" can compete for Oscars.

Zhang Tan curled his lips and read three more movie reviews one after another. After getting a general impression of the movie "The Chaser", he ordered the feature film, full screen, and plugged in the speaker.

An hour and a half later, the movie ended. Zhang Tan sat up, put his laptop on the coffee table, moved the movie to the 70th minute, and watched the climax and ending again.

"The Chaser" is indeed a very good movie. Its rhythm control is pure and pure, making people excited. It is a popcorn movie with great content and full of fun.

Zhang Tan classified it as a popcorn movie.

As for many film critics saying that it can compete for Oscars, Zhang Tan thinks it is completely nonsense.

He thought back to the highly praised movie reviews he had just read. They either didn't get to the point or stayed on the surface. He couldn't help but feel itchy hands and couldn't stop vomiting. He sat back at his desk, typed on the keyboard, and wrote a short review of less than a thousand words.

, I specially registered an account with the online name "Wei Guanzhi" and posted it on the film review website.

He closed the computer, the clock on the wall pointed to 11 o'clock, poured a glass of water to drink, and went out to go downstairs. The children were all sleeping in the dormitory on the second floor, but there were also several who refused to sleep and stayed in the activity area on the first floor.

Play.

Xiaobai is one of them.

Zhang Tan found her in the reading area.

She was sitting alone in the corner, her shadow falling at her feet, a picture book spread out on her legs, her elbows resting on her knees, her little face in her palms, her ear-length hair hanging down naturally, covering her face.

, people don’t know whether she is reading a book or taking a nap.

Hearing the footsteps, Xiaobai raised her head, revealing her little face under her hair. Her eyes were bright. When she saw it was Zhang Tan, she waved happily and asked him if he could tell her the story in the picture book.

"It's time for you to sleep." Zhang Tan said.

"The windmill car is very beautiful. Uncle, after finishing talking, Xiaobai will go to bed and say goodbye, okay?"

Okay, Zhang Tan took the picture book and turned to the cover. The windmill and the car are obviously "The Field Mouse."

"What did you see? I'll continue."

Xiaobai shook his head and smiled without saying a word, with a small dark face and two rows of white baby teeth.

"Um?"

"I didn't read it, Xiaobai can't read."

"...??"

He really knows how to make excuses. It was very late. Zhang Tan didn't want to waste time. He opened one of the short stories, "Collecting Sunshine", and said:

"Winter is here, and the little voles are all preparing for winter. Some are hoarding corn, and some are hoarding rice..."

Xiaobai interjected: "Corn is corn."

"..." Zhang Tan nodded: "Yes, corn is also called corn. Some people store biscuits, but..."

Xiaobai interrupted again, and this time Trump said: "You are the corn, and I am the beard on the peak of the corn."

"..." Zhang Tan had a question mark on his face: "What does this mean?"

"Goose goose~~"

Xiaobai laughed like a goose and shook his head, "Uncle, please continue talking."

Zhang Tan stared at her suspiciously, feeling that the kid was scolding him just now. No, I'll go back to the room and check online later. It's a big disadvantage if I don't understand Sichuan dialect.

"All the little voles were working, but Afo seemed to be unprepared for anything. He was just collecting sunlight, air and colors. Then winter really came, and the little voles hid at home when there was no sunlight and color. Afo

I started telling everyone about sunshine and colors, which immediately made everyone feel very warm..."

"Okay, I'm done talking, let's go to bed!"

Zhang Tan put away the picture book and, without giving Xiaobai any chance, inserted the picture book into the bookshelf and took her back to the dormitory.

"Uncle~"

"Um?"

"I won't call you Xiaobai now."

"ah?"

"Xiaobai's name is Afu'er."

Then the kid broke free from his hand and ran away quickly.

Zhang Tan thought she had gone back on her word and was not going to sleep, so he followed her, but saw her coming back with a crisper box.

"Uncle, here you go!"

Put the crisper box into Zhang Tan's hand.

This is a disposable crisper that can be thrown away after use, but Xiaobai not only did not throw it away, but also washed it and it was as good as new.

"Are the little grapes delicious?"

Xiaobai nodded: "It's very sweet. All the melon boys like it very much. Thank you, uncle."

"If you like it, come back tomorrow. I have plenty more."

Xiaobai said embarrassedly: "This is not good~~~~"
