Zhang Tan saw three children sitting in the corner of the first floor, Xiaobai sitting on the far left, Xi'er in the middle, and Luo Zikang on the far right.
They sat there quietly, looking forward to it.
It's rare that the two little rivals didn't quarrel.
Xiaobai didn't want her mother to see her looking fierce, and maybe Luo Zikang did the same.
Zhang Tan looked away, and the phone in his trouser pocket vibrated. It was a message from Su Lan, thanking him again for his help today.
Zhang Tan didn't reply, but sent a photo of her wearing the devil's horn.
The two chatted for a while, and suddenly there was the sound of light footsteps in front of them, and a little man spoke.
"Boss Zhang, are you here?"
Zhang Tan looked up and saw that it was Xiaobai.
"emmm, me~"
Zhang Tan quickly thought about how to answer, then Xiaobai took the initiative and said, "Are you waiting for mom too?"
She looked at him with pitiful eyes, pulled his clothes and said, "Come on, let's sit there."
She pulled Zhang Tan to sit down in the corner.
Xi'er said happily: "Boss Zhang is here too. Ah, Xiaobai said, I can't laugh now."
She covered her small mouth to prevent herself from laughing.
"How do you know where I'm sitting?" Zhang Tan asked Xiaobai curiously.
"I saw a bright light." Xiaobai said.
Even though they were so far apart and there was something blocking the way, Xiaobai could still find her. Zhang Tan thought to herself that maybe she was really looking for her mother who came to her door in the dark.
Zhang Tan, Xiaobai and the others sat together and told them stories.
Three stories passed. The person they were expecting did not appear, but Xi'er's sister did appear. However, Xi'er's sister cannot float or pass through walls. She is not a ghost.
"I didn't even wait for my mother."
Xi'er was disappointed and looked at Zhang Tan, waiting for the powerful boss Zhang to come up with a solution.
Xiaobai also looked at him. If Xi'er didn't wait for her mother, then she might not be able to wait either.
Zhang Tan explained: "Maybe we were wrong. Do you still remember? The story says that Xiaoguang only saw grandpa when he was alone, but now there are several of us here."
The three children were immediately disappointed.
Zhang Tan continued: "But it doesn't matter. When we get home, they will look for you in their dreams."
The kids really believed it.
Perhaps, they would rather choose to believe it.
Xi'er followed her sister.
She lay on her sister's back, hugged her neck, and carried her sister's small bag on her shoulders.
"Xi'er, are you tired? Give it to me." My sister said as she walked.
"I'm not tired, let me tell you~~"
Xi'er leaned into her sister's ear and told her the story that Boss Zhang had told her.
When they go to bed at night, their mother will come to them in their dreams.
Xi'er's sister Tan Jin'er did not reveal the truth, but cooperated with Xi'er. When she returned home, she only turned on a floor lamp.
After the two hurriedly brushed their teeth and washed their faces, they quickly turned off the only light, lay side by side on the bed, folded their hands on their stomachs, looked at the ceiling, waiting for their mother, and then looked for their mother in their dreams.
Xiaobai was also picked up, and it was Bai Jianping who came to pick her up tonight.
"How good are your paws today?"
At home, Ma Lanhua saw that Xiaobai was very good tonight and took the initiative to brush her teeth, wash her face and lie in bed without having to rush her as usual.
Bai Jianping said coquettishly: "Haha, I don't even want to see who picked it up."
Xiaobai here immediately said loudly: "Uncle, I want to go to bed early. You are snoring like a pig. It's so noisy that I can't sleep."
Bai Jianping said: "You could fall asleep before."
Xiaobai: "I can't sleep today."
"You are a little friend, but you still have insomnia?"
"I miss my mother."
"What are you instigating?" Bai Jianping didn't hear clearly, because Xiaobai said this very quietly, more like talking to himself.
"I'm sleeping with you, please don't bother me. If you make me angry, I'll get very angry."
Malanhua didn't want to rest so soon. She had to prepare ingredients for tomorrow morning. In order not to disturb Xiaobai, she closed the bedroom door and the kitchen door, and she and Bai Jianping were busy in the small kitchen.
back.
In the dark corner of Little Red Horse Academy, only Zhang Tan and Luo Zikang were left.
The two people stared at each other, and finally Luo Zikang took the initiative to speak and asked: "Boss Zhang, what's wrong with your mother?"
Zhang Tan thought carefully before saying, "She should be fine."
Luo Zikang: "Then why are you here? All the children here have no mothers, not me, not Xiaobai, not Xi'er."
Zhang Tan said: "But I am dead."
Luo Zikang shrank to the side and stared at him warily.
Without Xiaobai and Xi'er around, he was a little scared. It was so dark around him, and Boss Zhang was still trying to scare him!
"Hahaha~~ Don't be afraid, I'm just teasing you." Zhang Tan said with a smile.
Luo Zikang was still nervous. He sat at the other end of the bench, away from Boss Zhang. He couldn't help but think of Xiaobai's mantra, Boss Zhang is a bastard!
At this time, Teacher Xiao Liu's voice came from the door: "Boss Zhang, Luo Zikang's grandfather is here."
"Let's go, your grandpa is here to pick you up."
Luo Zikang followed his grandfather away like a gust of wind.
The children all left, and Zhang Tan heard Teacher Xiao Liu saying goodbye to Luo Zikang and going upstairs.
Zhang Tan also stood up and left, turning off the wall lamp with a click, and the corner instantly melted into darkness.
But there was no sound of footsteps. In the dark night, Zhang Tan stood there for a while, even keeping the gesture of turning off the lights.
Da~~~
The wall lamp was turned on again.
Zhang Tan sat down again and leaned against the wall to think about something.
Xiaomi couldn't sleep on the second floor and tossed and turned in bed. Finally, she got up the courage to get up, put on her shoes, went out, walked in the corridor in the dark, and found Teacher Xiaoliu who was taking care of the children in the dormitory.
"Xiaomi, why are you here? Are you awake?" Teacher Xiaoliu asked.
"I want to see Xiaobai."
"Xiaobai has gone home."
"Has she seen her mother?"
"I don't know, you can ask her tomorrow."
While the two were talking, Cheng Cheng's father came up from the stairs on the first floor.
"It's Cheng Cheng's father who is here. I'll call Cheng Cheng. Xiaomi, please go back to your room first."
Teacher Xiaoliu went to wake Cheng Cheng up.
Cheng Cheng didn't sleep tonight. She was a little scared. She only felt safe in her father's arms.
As usual, Cheng Cheng was carried home and told stories to her father along the way. It wasn't until she was lying on the small bed and her father said good night to her that she whispered that she missed her mother and refused while holding her father's hand.
spread.
Meng Guangxin was at a loss. Under Cheng Cheng's coquettishness, he took out his mobile phone, went out first, and made a call over there. He turned around and was about to go into the bedroom to find Cheng Cheng when he saw Cheng Cheng who was wearing pajamas.
Standing at the door, looking at him and the mobile phone in his hand with big eyes.
"Cheng Cheng, when did you come out?"
"I want to talk to mom."
Meng Guangxin handed her the phone: "Here, mom is waiting for you."
Cheng Cheng was overjoyed, hugging his cell phone and sweetly calling his mother before chatting.
