The branches of the mulberry tree swayed in the wind in the moonlight.
It was already early in the morning, and adults working the night shift came to Little Red Horse Academy one after another to pick up their children.
They drag their tired bodies, but their faces are full of smiles and their eyes are bright. The hard day is finally over, and being with their children is the happiest time of the day.
The school was quiet, little bugs were chirping in the grass, and cicadas flew up from the mulberry trees at some point, pulling weakly on the strings of the piano.
The last one sent Xiao Bai away, Lao Li locked the academy and returned to the guard box to rest.
When he went to work the next day, Zhang Tan received a notice that the comic book author was here and wanted to chat with the three shortlisted screenwriters.
"Lampburner" is a passionate comic, but the author is a pretty little beauty, kawaii.
I don’t know if it was because of his good looks, but she had a great time chatting with Zhang Tan, and he was the one she chose in the end. Although the other two were also young men, they were not handsome enough.
These two people were named Xu Jian and Liu Zhiguo.
Xu Jian is quite handsome, but not tall, about 170cm, while Liu Zhiguo cannot be described as handsome. He is about 175cm tall and has entered the stage of gaining weight early. He is estimated to weigh over 175cm.
Liu Zhiguo knew the result. When he learned that Zhang Tan was finally selected, he was obviously dissatisfied and his face was not very good, but he didn't say anything. He hurriedly said congratulations and left.
Xu Jian stayed and chatted with Zhang Tan for a few words, acting relatively calmly.
Zhang Tan had a good impression of Xu Jian and felt that he looked very much like him in the past. As for Liu Zhiguo, he also had a good impression and did not block him because he was unhappy.
After successfully winning the screenwriter role of "Lampburner", Zhang Tan's career finally reached a milestone. He had told Jiang Rong and He Chao before that being transferred from the script evaluation team was nothing, and it was not even worth treating him to a meal.
Food, and now, it counts.
Because Luo Ming, Jiang Rong and others didn't know each other, after some consideration, they decided to treat each other separately. They invited Luo Ming first to thank him for his help this time.
For Zhang Tan, Luo Ming is both a teacher and a friend. He doesn't have any pretensions as a senior and takes good care of him. He was able to win "Lamp Burner" this time. Without him, he might not have been able to succeed.
The two of them drank some wine in the evening. Luo Ming's drinking capacity was not good, and he got a little drunk after drinking a few glasses of red wine. Zhang Tan, on the other hand, originally loved to play and drink, and his drinking capacity was very good. If he hadn't deliberately controlled it, everyone at home would have been drunk.
The refrigerator is probably filled with the necessary cold beer in summer.
They both drank. When they went out, Zhang Tan called for a driver and also called one for Luo Ming, but Luo Ming waved his hand and said no.
You can't drive after drinking, especially Luo Ming, who is a little drunk. Zhang Tan won't let him drive anyway, so he must call a substitute driver.
Luo Ming kept saying no, no, no.
"There are thousands of roads, and safety is the first priority. Never drive on the road after drinking." Zhang Tan persuaded.
"No, my wife is coming here and she is driving."
"..."
This may be the inherent limitation of single dogs, which is sad.
Sure enough, after a while, Luo Ming's wife came. This was the first time Zhang Tan had met. She was a very gentle woman. She came by taxi. She saw that Luo Ming was drunk, so she didn't complain at all, and took the drink from her bag.
He took out two bottles of kudzu hangover drink, gave one to Zhang Tan first, unscrewed the other bottle and let Luo Ming drink some.
"Sister-in-law, I'm really sorry for making Teacher Luo drunk," Zhang Tan said.
The other party smiled when he heard this: "Today is to celebrate you, I told him to drink it."
Zhang Tan really didn't know, thinking that it was no wonder that Luo Ming, who had never drank alcohol before, was so relaxed this time.
Zhang Tan helped Luo Ming into the car and watched his sister-in-law drive away. Then he got into the car and was driven back to the village in the city by his driver.
After parking the car, paying the driving fee, Zhang Tan walked back to the academy.
An old man was sitting in the alley chatting in the shade. Children were running around with kittens and puppies at their feet. A little boy ran over and bumped into his leg. He sat down on the ground. Zhang Tan helped him up and looked up.
There is a teahouse next to you.
The teahouse was very lively, and the strong Pujiang tone came out. People were drinking tea, chatting and playing cards inside, which showed another side of Pujiang, a more down-to-earth side.
He now smelled strongly of alcohol, so he went in and ordered a pot of tea. As soon as he sat down, someone called him, and when he turned around, he saw, oh, it's Yellowberry.
Huang Liangliang sat over and said, "It's really you, Zhang Tan."
Zhang Tan poured himself a cup of tea. It was a bit hot, but he was thirsty now, so he drank it all and said, "You seem to be surprised."
Huangmeiberry: "You wouldn't have come to a place like this before. The bar was your battlefield."
Battlefield? Zhang sighed speechless.
"That's your friend?"
Zhang Tan saw two other girls and a man sitting at Huang Qianmei's table.
He just asked casually, but he didn't expect Huang Liangliang to be very wary and warned him: "Don't strike up a conversation, I won't introduce you to each other."
"..."
What is this? Zhang Tan waved his hand and told her to go away. He was hurt now and didn't want to talk to the murderer.
After Huang Liangliang returned, she drank tea and played cards with her friends. Zhang Tan drank half a pot of tea, waved to Huang Liangliang, got up and left.
"Old Li, it's me, open the door." Zhang Tan came to the entrance of Little Red Horse Academy and shouted to Old Li who was watching TV.
It was already 9 o'clock in the evening, and the children had all come in, so Lao Li locked the gate of the academy to prevent other people from waiting in.
"Oh, Mr. Zhang is back."
Lao Li opened the door, let Zhang Tan in, turned around and entered the guard box, and soon came out again, giving Zhang Tan a handbag with a blue lunch box in it.
"Hehehe, I made the cold noodles myself, Mr. Zhang, please try it."
Zhang Tan knew that Lao Li's family used to open a noodle shop, and their signature dish was cold noodles. His wife was from the Korean ethnic group in the Northeast and was good at making cold noodles. Unfortunately, cold noodles are not well-known in Pujiang. They are relatively unpopular and many people think they are cold.
Noodles are just cold noodles. Coupled with poor management, the noodle shop eventually closed down, so Lao Li came to work as a janitor at Little Red Horse Academy.
"Then you're welcome. Take it back and try it. Thank you."
Zhang Tan was not polite, accepted it, and took it home. When he opened it, his appetite was whetted. The cold noodles were at the bottom of the lunch box, which was filled with various delicacies, including fried prawns, watermelon segments, beef slices, and cuttlefish.
, and spicy cabbage, the cold air is still coming out.
Although I really wanted to eat it, I had just eaten dinner and there was no room to spare. Besides, it was late at night and I was worried about gaining weight.
He put the lunch box in the refrigerator and kept it for eating tomorrow morning. He took a shower and was just about to turn on the computer to check the video account. When he thought of the contents of the bag, he went out and found the little man among the little people.
Xiaobai, Meng Chengcheng was telling them stories, his voice was milky, and his words were not fluent, but he could still tell stories, he was really a little frog pretending to be a jeep and beeping.
"Xiao Bai, come here." Zhang Tan shouted while standing outside the pile of little figures.
"What?" Xiaobai glanced at him and replied, unwilling to move. Obviously, for her, Meng Chengcheng's stories were more attractive than Zhang Tan's and could not impress her at all.
"Xiaobai, come here quickly, I'll give you something."
Xiaobai came over reluctantly and asked impatiently: "Where can I live? I'm so busy."
Why does a kid fall out faster than turning over a book? Yesterday we were on such a good terms, I forced him to eat a fish feast and whisker rice, but today he just ignores me!
"Are you free? Come to my house and I'll give you something."
Xiaobai heard this and shook her head without hesitation, saying that she was not free, she was busy. She pointed to the pile of dolls with her little finger and said that they were all queuing up to tell her stories. After Meng Chengcheng was Xiaoqian, and after Xiaoqian was...
Zhang was surprised and asked: "Everyone wants to tell you stories?"
Are you so awesome? There are so many children lining up to tell you stories, are you the king?
Xiaobai looked at him strangely, as if he didn't understand why he was so surprised.
In view of Zhang Tan's warm invitation, Xiaobai thought that she hadn't visited her little kid in a few days, so she reluctantly agreed to go with him to see him, but he only wanted to sit and walk around for a while, and he didn't want to stay too long.
When she comes back, the story is waiting for her.
