Mother Su opened the door and saw her longing daughter standing outside the door. She breathed a sigh of relief. While welcoming her in, she asked: "Why are you back so late?"
Su Lan: "There's a traffic jam on the road."
"Been stuck in traffic for so long?"
"Isn't it? Why are there so many cars in Hangzhou? The road planning is not scientific enough."
Before setting off from Pujiang, she had already reported her itinerary to Mother Su, and she would arrive home between 7:30 and 8:00. For this reason, Mother Su cooked a sumptuous dinner for her to come back to eat. But she waited and waited.
I got my daughter's phone call and said she wouldn't be home until nine o'clock.
Su Lan changed her shoes and went into the room. The lights in the restaurant were bright, and there were chrysanthemum herring, Pujiang drunken crab, oil-soaked baby greens and other delicious dishes on the dining table, all of which she had never eaten before.
"Mom, you haven't eaten yet?" Su Lan asked.
Mother Su came over and said, "Wait for you, you haven't eaten yet, have you?"
Su Lan: "...I was a little hungry on the way, so I ate something to cushion my stomach, but I can still eat."
"Then wash your hands quickly and let's eat."
Su Lan went to the bathroom to wash her hands. When Su's mother couldn't see, she quickly massaged her stomach twice. She went to the refrigerator and took a bottle of apple cider vinegar. She opened it and drank it twice. She frowned because of the soreness.
"Hey, you girl, why are you jealous? Aren't your teeth sore?"
Su Lan said nothing, sat down at the dining table, had four dishes and one soup, and asked, "Mom, how did you cook these dishes?"
Zhang Tan had cooked these dishes for her before, and she took photos of them and posted them on Weibo.
Mother Su said with a smile: "You like to eat, don't you? It's specially made for you, eat it quickly."
At the same time, Zhang Tan had already boarded the high-speed train back to Pujiang. By the time he got home, it was already early in the morning. He parked the car and walked through the deep alley, his leather shoes making a crisp sound on the gravel road, going back and forth.
Echoing, the alert dogs pricked up their ears, some barked twice and ignored the footsteps as they faded away, while others got out of the doorway and stood in the alley watching the retreating figure, doing their duty.
, it took a while before he returned to his nest.
When Zhang Tan came to the door of Little Red Horse, he happened to see a dark figure knocking on the window of the guard box, and a clear female voice came: "Master Li, Master Li~~~ I am Xi'er's sister, can you open the door?
?Sorry to bother you so late."
Immediately, Lao Li's sleepy voice came from the guard box. Zhang Tan was worried about scaring Tan Jin'er, so the footsteps were deliberately louder to attract her attention.
"Boss Zhang?" Tan Jin'er recognized him immediately.
Zhang Tan approached and said with a smile: "Are you going to get off work so late today?"
"The colleague who takes over my shift has something to do at home, so I helped her out for a while..."
Lao Li opened the door and let Zhang Tan and Tan Jin'er in. Xi'er was no longer in the dormitory. The dormitory was dark at the moment and there was no one there.
Xi'er went to Teacher Xiao Liu's dormitory and slept on the same bed as Xiaomi. Teacher Xiao Liu also lay on the bed and fell asleep first. It was not until Tan Jin'er came that she stood up and took Xi'er away who was sleeping on her stomach.
"She just fell asleep not long ago." Teacher Xiao Liu said, handing Xi'er wrapped in a towel and blanket to Tan Jin'er.
"Thank you, I bothered you so much today." Tan Jin'er thanked her while hugging Xi'er tightly. The child was sleeping soundly. After being tossed around like this, he was drowsy. He opened his eyes and saw that it was his sister.
Mumbling, half asleep and half awake, hiahia smiled twice, nestled tightly in her arms, shrank in, and dozed off little by little with her little head.
Saying goodbye to Teacher Xiaoliu and Zhang Tan, Tan Jiner left Little Red Horse with Xier in her arms.
The weather was extremely cold late at night in winter. Tan Jin'er pulled down her woolen hat and looked down at Xi'er in her arms. The sky-blue towel blanket wrapped her tightly, and the little guy also felt the cold.
The little head is drilled into it, like a cocoon.
Tan Jin'er wore a long black knee-length down jacket. She opened the zipper and wrapped the little sister Xi'er to prevent her from catching a cold.
Although it was already late at night, the lights in the city were bright, and vehicles passed by in twos and threes on the empty streets. Her shadow fell on the ground and stretched very long. With her footsteps, it shortened a little bit, and then changed a little bit.
long.
There was a soft rustling sound in her arms, and Xi'er's little head emerged from the towel blanket, looking at her hiahiahia with a silly smile.
Tan Jin'er asked: "Xier, why are you laughing?"
Seeing her sister's smile, she instantly felt much warmer, and it was not that cold at night.
"hiahiahia~~~"
Xi'er stretched out her little hand from the towel blanket with difficulty, holding an egg in her palm, and stuffed it into her hand, which was warm.
"Where did you come from?"
"My aunt gave it to me~"
"Huh? Which aunt?"
"Xiaobai's aunt."
"Are you hungry? My sister will peel it for you to eat."
"I'm not hungry, give me something to eat for my sister."
"I'm not hungry either."
"Then let's hatch the chick~~hiahiahia~~"
When she got home, she really held the cooked egg in her hand, squeezed it into her sister's arms, and said she wanted to hatch the chicks.
The next day was the beginning of winter, the cold wind was howling, and it rained in Pujiang River, making it extremely wet and cold.
Tan Jin'er and Xi'er started cooking dinner together. When they were shopping at the mall, they saw many people buying dumplings, which were round like balls and said they meant reunion. Xi'er liked them very much, so Tan Jin'er bought two bags worth 10 yuan in total.
indivual.
The dumplings were very big, similar to steamed buns, and had different fillings. One person could feel full after eating two or three, but the Tan sisters only ate three together and sighed when they were full.
Tan Jin'er didn't plan to eat the other seven by herself. After steaming them, she asked Xi'er to take them to the little red horse.
"Xi'er, who do you want to give these dumplings to?"
Xi'er blurted out: "Give it to Xiaobai~~~ She is a melon, she is my baby, she gave Xi'er eggs."
"Xiaobai is older than you."
"No~"
"Yes, she will be 5 years old soon, and you are not yet 4 years old."
"I am already 8 years old~~~"
Tan Jin'er knew it was useless to discuss this issue with her, so he changed the subject and said, "Okay, let's give it to a noob, what else?"
"Eat one for Teacher Xiaoliu."
"Why?"
"She often takes care of the baby to sleep. I like her so much, hiahiahia~~"
"Okay, let's give it to Teacher Xiaoliu, what else?"
"I gave Xiaomi a meal, Xiaomi hugged me, I slept in her crib, and I even covered her with a quilt."
"Okay, Xiaomi counts as one."
"Cheng Cheng ate one. She told Xi'er a lot of stories. She smells so good. I really like to kiss her. She is a little fairy."
"We can't miss Cheng Cheng."
"hiahiahia, Liliu is a little bad guy, give her one." She stood on tiptoe, leaned close to her sister's ear, and said that she once secretly ate Liliu's big apple, which made her cry.
"You are so happy to steal other people's big apples. You are such a stupid boy. That's okay. You should give it to a pomegranate."
Tan Jiner reminded: "Li Pendui opened and closed the door for us last night, so we have to give him something to eat."
"Oh, Li Baibao, Li Baibao's TV is so good, he gave Xi'er candy to eat."
"Then have you eaten?"
"hiahia, I didn't eat it. My front teeth have all fallen out. It's sweet and sour, and Xi'er doesn't like it."
The two discussed for a long time and finally decided on 7 people.
"Do you remember what sister said?" Tan Jin'er reminded Xi'er again and again before leaving.
"Remember~~" Xi'er happily carried the handbag. Inside the bag was a thermos box, and in the box were the seven delicious dumplings. "For Xiaobai to eat, for Teacher Xiaoliu to eat, and for Li Baobao to eat..."
Tan Jin'er touched her little head and praised her for being so smart, that's all.
"That's it, that's what we'll do, hiahiahia, give it to Xiaobai, give it to Cheng Cheng, give it to Liuliu, give it to Xiaomi, give it to Luo Zikang, give it to Boss Zhang..."
I was praising you just now, but in the blink of an eye I missed it.
Tan Jin'er reminded: "But we don't have that many, you have to give Xiaobai and the others a few to eat first."
"Give Xiaomi a bite, sister~~~" Xi'er requested.
"One is Xiaobai, one is Xiaomi, one is Li Baibao, one is Teacher Xiaoliu, one is Boss Zhang, who else is there?"
Xi'er, bala bala, counted a lot of children and wanted to give them a taste, but the quantity was far exceeded.
Tan Jin'er had a headache and once again told her that she should give to so and so first, and she couldn't just give to people in person, as that would not be enough.
