At five o'clock in the afternoon, the plane landed in Pujiang.
Zhang Tan found his car in the airport parking lot, took Xiaobai and Teacher Jiang and went straight to Little Red Horse Academy.
There are all high-rise buildings along the way, which seems to be two different worlds from the one in Baijia Village. Teacher Jiang looked out the window in a daze.
Xiaobai pointed to a strange building and said it was a science and technology museum with many airplanes and ships inside.
"Have you been there?" Teacher Jiang asked her.
"I've been there before. Xiwa and I went there together. The old man took us there."
Little Bai Bala Bala, telling grandma interesting stories about the Science and Technology Museum.
When the car passed another building, Xiaobai pointed at it and said it was a biology museum. She had been there too, and the old man took her there.
"There are many animals and plants inside. Nature is really magical." Xiaobai sighed.
Teacher Jiang also lamented that Xiaobai now looks more and more like a child here, and Baijiacun is her other hometown.
But at the end of the day, she's going to be the child here.
Just like Xiaobai is her child, he is not her child. In the final analysis, he is not her child.
The same goes for Baijiacun. In the future, its status in her heart will only become lighter and weaker.
For a moment, Teacher Jiang had mixed feelings.
Xiaobai couldn't see how excited her grandma was at this moment. She was still enthusiastically introducing the scenery along the way to her grandma.
She can actually recognize many buildings and tell them from east to west, which is really amazing.
Until Zhang Tan asked her to call her aunt and ask whether she should have dinner at home or out.
Xiaobai immediately called her aunt, and after a friendly exchange with her, she told her that her aunt had cooked food at home and asked us to go home and eat directly.
"What a troublesome orchid." Teacher Jiang said.
Malanhua was still opening the store in the morning. When she learned that Teacher Jiang was going to Pujiang in the afternoon, she simply closed the store and gave the employees a half-day holiday. She went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and cook, and held a welcome banquet for Teacher Jiang.
"No trouble, no trouble, grandma, no trouble, aunt doesn't cook anymore," Xiaobai said.
"Why don't you cook? What are you going to eat?"
"My uncle cooks the food. My uncle cooks and sends it to my aunt."
"It's been hard work for both of them."
At this time, it happened to be the rush hour after get off work. After entering the city center, the traffic began to be congested. It took more than ten minutes longer than usual to get to Xiaohongma. The time was exactly six o'clock.
The sun hasn't set yet, it's bright and the color is brighter.
There was a steady stream of cars, and the Little Red Horse Academy gradually became lively. However, the teachers had already arrived before the children arrived.
Aunt Huang was chatting with Lao Li in the yard. When they saw Zhang Tan appear, the two of them immediately stood up, greeted him, and said with a smile: "Teacher Jiang, welcome, why are you here now?"
"Director Huang, thank you. Master Li, thank you." Teacher Jiang smiled and chatted with them for a few words.
"It's been a hard journey. Let's take a rest first. We won't disturb you. I'll chat with you tomorrow. We have a long time to come." Aunt Huang said.
"Okay, there will be plenty of time in the future."
Not only Aunt Huang and Lao Li came out to greet Teacher Jiang, but several young teachers such as Teacher Xiaoliu, Teacher Xiaoyuan, and Teacher Xiaoman also came out and expressed their welcome to Teacher Jiang with a smile.
Everyone's enthusiasm made Teacher Jiang feel much better. She smiled and thanked everyone, and went upstairs with Xiaobai to the door of her house.
The door was not closed, but open. There was a pair of slippers at the entrance, which belonged to Teacher Jiang.
Malanhua heard the noise and rushed out of the kitchen to help carry the luggage.
"Sorry to trouble you, Lanhua." Teacher Jiang said.
"Hey, why bother? What's the trouble? I'm just cooking a meal. It'll be ready soon. Sit down and we'll have dinner in five minutes."
"What did you cook that tasted delicious? I'm Kangkang."
Xiaobai followed Malanhua and went to the kitchen to see what delicious food was cooked.
Malanhua didn't say anything at first and let her follow her. After entering the kitchen, she closed the door and immediately educated Xiaobai with a straight face: "You melon kid, you don't know how to care about your aunt, you only have eyes for her."
Don’t eat without conscience.”
Xiaobai:→_→
"It smells so good. Auntie, what delicious food did you make? Give it to me."
"Crawl away, crawl away, go out and watch whatever you want while you eat."
Xiaobai was pushed out by Ma Lanhua. Xiaobai quickly said loudly: "Auntie, you have worked hard, you have worked hard - I want to thank you~ You have made so many delicious things, you are so awesome -"
This way he avoided being kicked out of the kitchen.
However, after a while, she was asked to take the food out.
"It's a cucumber shot." Xiaobai came out with a cucumber shot and placed it on the dining table. When he brought a dish, he also said the name of the dish.
"It's cold beef. It has a little less chili, but it's still delicious."
…
When the last dish was served on the table, Ma Lanhua came to ask Teacher Jiang to eat, and at the same time told Zhang Tan that Tan Jin'er had been helping in the afternoon, but before they came back, she left and refused to stay even after saying anything.
"Call Jin'er to come and eat together." Malanhua said.
"It's Jin'er, Zhang Tan, I'll definitely invite you to have dinner with me." Teacher Jiang also said.
When Xiaobai heard about Sister Jin'er, he immediately thought of Xiwawa.
Xi'er, Liuliu, and Bai Jianping have been filming on the set for the past two days. The crew has already gotten off work. Ma Lanhua called Bai Jianping and said that she was on her way here.
Xi'er and Liuliu are also here.
Zhang Tan called Tan Jin'er and invited her to come over for dinner, but Tan Jin'er said she had already eaten and refused to come.
"How could you just eat it?" Ma Lanhua was a little dissatisfied with Zhang Tan for hanging up the phone after just a few words. "She must have been polite. Why don't you go to her home and invite her over."
"I'm going to—"
Xiaobai immediately went to invite Tan Jin'er in a hurry, but the next second she was rushed back by Ma Lanhua, telling her to let her old man go, but not her.
"Teacher Jiang, what do you think?" Malanhua looked at Teacher Jiang and asked her specifically.
Teacher Jiang smiled, nodded and said, "That's right, Zhang Tan, go quickly."
"Okay, I'll go then."
Zhang Tan went out, walked into Huangjia Village, and came to the downstairs of Tan Jiner's house.
The street lights in Huangjia Village are now on. The alleys here extend in all directions, and night falls earlier.
Zhang Tan raised his head and looked upstairs. The lights were on at Xiao Tan's house, and Tan Jin'er was at home.
He went upstairs, knocked on the door, and said, "Jin'er, are you at home? I'm Zhang Tan. Let's go have dinner together. I'm waiting for you."
There was the sound of chairs moving in the room, and after a while, the door opened, and Tan Jin'er appeared in front of Zhang Tan with a slightly red face.
"I've already eaten. You can eat it yourself." Tan Jin'er said.
She is a bit shorter than Zhang Tan. If she looks directly at her, her gaze can only fall on Zhang Tan's collar, just enough to avoid eye contact.
"It doesn't matter if you eat, or you can go eat some more food. Teacher Jiang just came and chatted with her. She kept talking about you and Xi'er on the way. By the way, Xi'er will be here later."
"Will Xi'er go? I don't even know." Tan Jin'er was a little surprised, but then she felt that she wasn't surprised either.
"She and Liuli were brought by Lao Bai," Zhang Tan said.
"Oh, I really have eaten. I won't go."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a crash from the kitchen, and the bowl and chopsticks fell to the floor and broke.
Tan Jin'er hurried to the kitchen to check, and Zhang Tan followed. Then he saw a bowl of green vegetables and half a bowl of porridge on the pot table.
