In the evening, Xiao Baixing hurried to Little Red Horse Academy, stood under the balcony, and shouted to the balcony on the third floor: "Boss Zhang~~~Boss Zhang~~~~~ Eat recklessly."
She was ordered to invite Boss Zhang to her home. Today is the beginning of winter.
"Xiaobai? I'll be there~~~~~"
Zhang Tan didn't show up, but the voice came from the house. Then someone else quickly went downstairs, carrying a food packaging bag containing Pujiang Drunken Crab. He spent some time in the afternoon making it and putting it on the plate.
, you can eat it when you bring it to the table.
In addition, there were two bottles of Big Bear wine. Knowing that Xiaobai had no Little Bear drinks at home, he bought another box from a small store deep in the alley, and Xiaobai carried it with a sigh of relief.
Liliu's father returned to Pujiang today and bought her beautiful clothes and toys. The effect of these things was obvious. After winning a moment of excitement from Liliu, it also helped her remember that she had a father.
At this moment, their family of three is making dinner happily.
Jiang Bin followed his father out the door, hung the house key around his neck and stuffed it into his collar.
He held his head high, followed behind his father, and secretly imitated his walking, feeling that he was an adult too.
Tonight, his father finally agreed to take him to work together. Although the weather was cold, he was full of energy.
Sitting on the electric motorcycle and putting on the helmet, his father helped him pull the zipper to the top and said, "Put your hands in my pockets so that you won't get cold."
They quickly disappeared into the night and began a busy night.
Cheng Cheng's father won't work overtime tonight. He has been preparing for tonight two days in advance. He has to rush forward or push back the things at hand. He wants to accompany Cheng Cheng tonight.
Little girl Cheng Cheng received a pair of red gloves with a bunny pattern, and she was very happy.
She didn't have dinner at home, so her father took her to a children's restaurant. It was not only delicious, but also fun, and full of surprises.
——
"Do you want sister to carry it?"
"No, Xi'er can do it herself."
"Then you have to be careful. The dumplings are very hot. You can't touch them with your little hands."
"Okay, sister, Xi'er will help you."
"Then come on."
"Sister, Xiaobai is in front, and my aunt is also there. Let's go find her and give her dumplings to eat."
Xi'er held her handbag and ran on the sidewalk to the place where Malanhua usually sells pancakes and fruits. Sometimes she comes early and can meet Malanhua here. If Xiaobai is there, she and Xiaobai
While playing, Xiaobai was not around, so she sat on the small stool where Xiaobai usually sat, chatting with her aunt happily.
Hiahiahia, Xiaobai doesn’t know.
She ran over in a hurry, but she didn't see the stall. After walking around, her aunt was nowhere to be seen either. The aunt selling scallion pancakes next to her said that Sister Ma hadn't left the stall yet today.
"Xiao Bai and her aunt must still be having dinner, we came too early." Tan Jin'er comforted the disappointed Xi'er.
"hiahia, let's go find Li Weibao."
Xi'er and her sister came to Little Red Horse. Xi'er wanted to surprise Li Baibao, but the door of the guard box was locked, the TV was turned off, it was pitch dark inside, and Li Baibao was not there.
"Li Weibao is gone." Xi'er said disappointedly.
Tan Jin'er: "He must be having dinner too. Today is the beginning of winter, so everyone will be late."
"Okay~~~" Xi'er ran to the classroom to find other children.
Tan Jin'er called out to her: "Xi'er, that sister is gone. You have a good time playing with the children."
"Bye~~~sister."
"Bye, remember to give the dumplings to everyone."
"Yeah."
Xi'er ran to the door, watched her sister go away, and then walked to the classroom with the dumplings in her arms. Suddenly two people walked out of Building 2 and greeted her: "Kid~~~ You are here so early? You
Have you had dinner?”
Xi'er stood still and looked up at them. She didn't recognize them, not even one of them: "Eat, have you eaten?"
Even though we don’t know each other, we are all good friends. Even if we don’t know each other, we are still good friends. People all over the world are good friends.
"We just got off work and haven't had dinner yet. You're so early."
Xi'er nodded: "Xi'er is a little bee."
"Haha, is your name Xi'er?"
"How do you know? Do you know me?"
One of the two was Wu Shiying. She said funnyly: "I know you, your name is Xi'er. I heard Boss Zhang told you that you are a very cute little girl, right?"
"hiahiahia~~~~" Xi'er was overjoyed. When she smiled, she immediately revealed her small mouth with missing front teeth. It is estimated that this strange laughter was caused by air leakage from the front teeth. Wu Shiying and her companions looked at each other and were holding back their laughter.
.
"It's getting late, we have to leave, bye."
Xi'er immediately raised the dumplings in her arms and wanted to feed them. When she heard that they had not eaten dinner, she immediately forgot her sister's instructions.
"Can you give it to us?" Wu Shiying asked in surprise.
Xi'er nodded: "I can only eat one, I have to give it to Xiaobai."
"What's in there?"
"The white dumplings were made by my sister and I. They are warm, like the warm babies my sister gave me." Xi'er said proudly.
Wu Shiying squatted down, took the thermos box from Xi'er's hand, opened the lid, and a stream of hot steam came out, and the aroma was fragrant.
"Wow, it smells so good. Sister is really hungry. Can you really give it to us?"
Xi'er twitched her little nose and inhaled the fragrance: "Eat, eat, eat. Sister, you have to be careful, it's very hot."
Seeing how sincere and enthusiastic the children were, Wu Shiying made a soft meat dumpling.
"Sister, you can have one too." Xi'er enthusiastically invited another young lady.
"Thank you kid, we can share it between the two of us. It's so big and delicious. You and your sister are so awesome."
Xier is overjoyed, hiahia is silly and happy~~~
The sky was getting dark, Xi'er watched them go away, raised her calves, and continued walking into the classroom, shouting as she walked: "Little friends, little friends~~~ Little friends, come out quickly, here you go
Eat dumplings.”
Her voice echoed in the empty Little Red Horse Academy, and the only response to her was the rustling sound of the mulberry and camphor trees blown by the cold wind.
Xi'er ran into the classroom, but it was empty, not a single child.
She searched every corner, but there was no one. It wasn't a child playing hide-and-seek with her.
The only one who came after hearing the sound was Teacher Xiaoman.
Teacher Xiaoman told her that some children have asked for leave, while others have not arrived yet.
Xi'er completely forgot about her sister's instructions. When she saw Teacher Xiaoman, she enthusiastically shared a hot dumpling. Then she sat at the door of the classroom holding the thermos box, waiting for the arrival of the children.
She opened the thermal box and counted the dumplings inside. There were 5 more dumplings, one for Xiaobai, one for Xiaomi, one for Duoliu, one for Cheng Cheng, and one for Boss Zhang... Li Baibao and Teacher Xiaoliu hadn't eaten yet!
She counted again, and it was still 5, which was not enough.
Hiahiahia, she is so happy, not because she has thought of some solution, but because she doesn’t know what to do. Who cares about her, whoever comes first will be fed first.
The sky was darkening quickly, and night came quickly and quietly. As if in the blink of an eye, the Little Red Horse Academy outside the classroom was shrouded in night.
Xi'er waited and waited, but no children arrived.
She ran to ask Teacher Xiaoman, and Teacher Xiaoman said that Liuliu's mother had just called and said that Liuliu would not be coming tonight.
Xi'er was very disappointed, but fortunately, Teacher Xiaoman said again that Cheng Cheng did not ask for leave, and neither Xiaobai nor Xiaomi asked for leave, and they would come.
Xi'er sat down at the door of the classroom full of hope and started counting dumplings again. If the little bad guy Liuliu didn't come, he wouldn't eat the duliu and left it to Teacher Xiaoliu. Well, that's what we said.
She looked at the school gate, hoping that the children would come soon.
The lights were on in the Little Red Horse Academy, and the street lights were on on the road outside the yard. The rich darkness of night was dispersed a lot. Xi'er ran to ask Teacher Xiaoman again why no children had come yet, and whether the children were lost.
.
Teacher Xiaoman said apologetically that Cheng Cheng's father just called and he didn't have to work overtime tonight. He planned to take Cheng Cheng to play, so Cheng Cheng would not come.
Xi'er said with a slumped face: "Xi'er brought dumplings for Cheng Cheng, they are delicious."
But fortunately, Xiaomi and Xiaobai will come.
She hurriedly ran to the door and sat down, still looking forward to tonight, and she had enough dumplings.
Teacher Xiaoman looked at her little back and dialed the phone worriedly.
"Hello, Officer Ding, I am Teacher Xiaoman from Little Red Horse Academy. I would like to ask, will Xiaomi come over tonight? Yes, tonight is the beginning of winter, and many children will not come, so I specially asked."
After this call, she called Malanhua again.
"Xi'er, please come in quickly. It's windy and cold here."
Teacher Xiaoman felt that his feet were tied with heavy weights, and the walk towards Xi'er was extremely heavy.
Xi'er hugged the thermos box and said happily that her dumplings were warm and not cold at all.
"Xiaomi must be coming soon." There was light in her eyes.
Teacher Xiaoman opened her mouth, not knowing what to say, but finally told her that Xiaomi would not come tonight.
"...Hey, where is Xiaobai?"
"Xiaobai's aunt said that Xiaobai won't come either."
"Where's Luo Zikang?"
Luo Zikang will not come.
Jiang Bin won't come either.
…
The night outside was dark, Xi'er sat on a small stool and stared blankly at Teacher Xiaoman, her face full of disappointment, her little mouth pursed, she endured, endured... Finally she let out a cry, unable to hold back, and burst into tears.
She got up. She cried and said, why didn't any of the little friends come? Her dumplings were getting cold, and they wouldn't taste good when they were cold.
