Zhang Tan invited Tang Yu, Xiao Bai, Xi'er, and the little orange cat to his home. Tang Yu looked at everything in the house curiously, and Xiao Bai diligently brought her a small chair and asked her to sit on it.
Zhang Tan smiled and said, "Let's sit on the sofa."
But Tang Yu saw Xiaobai sitting on a small chair, so he did not choose the sofa, but also sat on the small chair. Although he felt a little uncomfortable, he happened to be face to face with Xiaobai.
The little white boy said a lot, but in fact there was not much substantive content. It was just a child saying that he was so happy, just like a little puppy running around in the wild and jumping around unconsciously.
Although Zhang Tan was extremely curious about their relationship, he endured it for the time being and let them talk among themselves after not seeing each other for a long time. He went to the kitchen and cooked quickly. It was already very late, and his stomach had already been protesting. More importantly, the two of them were
None of the children had even had dinner.
Xi'er sat next to Xiaobai, looking at Xiaobai and Tang Yu, listening attentively, thinking that she was one of them. It wasn't until she saw Zhang Tan coming out of the kitchen to bring food that she got up and came to the dining room.
After hugging the little orange cat for an afternoon, I put him down and let him eat his own cat food. Then he came to the kitchen and raised his hand to ask for help from Boss Zhang.
The two of them worked for a while, simply stir-fried three vegetables, made a seaweed and egg soup, and called the two people in the living room to eat.
Tang Yu said she was not hungry and asked Xiaobai and the others to eat by themselves.
Zhang Tan tried to persuade her, but she refused to come, so forget it. Zhang Luo and the two children came to the table to eat, but he himself was not in a hurry to eat. Instead, he came to the living room, poured a glass of warm water for Tang Yu, and washed a small plate.
Grape.
"Sit on the sofa, it must be quite tiring sitting there." Zhang Tan said.
Tang Yu has been sitting on the small chair brought by Xiaobai, which is really strenuous.
She stood up and sat down on the edge of the sofa. She looked at Zhang Tan and said, "Go and eat."
"Don't worry, I'm not hungry yet. You and Xiaobai??"
He was very curious about the relationship between Tang Yu and Xiao Bai, but could not connect them.
Tang Yu did not answer, but asked: "What is your relationship with Xiaobai?"
"Xiaobai and I? As I said before, she is in the care of Little Red Pony Late Night Academy, and her uncle works on the set. She is very cute and annoying. I like her very much, so I will take care of her as much as I can."
"That's it?"
"What else?"
"I thought you guys, forget it... I've met Xiaobai before, when she was less than two years old, about one year and eight months old, and she lived in my house for a month."
"Because you are her baby mother?"
"No, it's not because I am her baby mother, but because I took care of her for a month, so I became her baby mother."
"...So, you actually don't have any relatives?"
"No, before that, I actually only met her once, by chance on the road."
"Why did Xiaobai stay at your house for a month?"
Tang Yu did not answer immediately, but asked him: "When you were in college, how long did it take for you to come back?"
Zhang Tan thought for a moment and said, "I came back during the summer vacation of my freshman year, but I haven't been back since."
Tang Yu said: "It's because your grandparents passed away during the summer vacation."
"Yes, you know that even after you go abroad."
"Anyone like you who doesn't know me will know that I went abroad. Besides, I am the child that your grandparents watched grow up. Of course I know about such an important matter as their death."
Zhang Tan didn't know how to answer these words or how to respond silently.
Tang Yu said: "Xiaobai's family rented a house in Huangjia Village. I came back from abroad that summer and that's when I met...well, Xiaobai..."
Just as they were about to continue talking, Xiaobai suddenly came over happily and asked them: "Why don't you eat mangmang? Mom, Boss Zhang invites you to eat mangmang."
Tang Yu swallowed back the words that came to her lips, "I'm not hungry. You can eat by yourself. You should eat more. Look how thin you are."
"It's not like a plump pomegranate is cute." Xiaobai used the negative teaching material of pomegranate.
When the little orange cat was full, it quietly came to Xiaobai's feet and rubbed her legs.
Xiaobai held the little orange cat in his arms with a smile and handed it to Tang Yu, "It's very cute. Mom, please pet it."
Tang Yu touched the little orange cat, hugged it again, and persuaded Xiao Bai to go to eat, otherwise Xi'er would be scared.
Xi'er responded loudly in the restaurant that she was not afraid, she just wanted to have a meal with Xiaobai.
She doesn't like someone.
The little orange cat followed Xiaobai step by step. After a while, the voices of Xiaobai and Xi'er came from the restaurant:
"Come and look, the cat has pooped, hiahiahia~~"
"Is the cat burrowing and burying itself again?"
In the living room.
Tang Yu looked at the restaurant, turned his head and asked Zhang Tan: "Don't you hate the trouble of children? How come you take care of Xiaobai and Xi'er for no reason?"
Zhang Tan said awkwardly: "People always change. I used to like to keep my hair long and dye it colorful, but now you see, these are gone."
Tang Yu: "I heard about it."
"What?"
"I heard about your misdeeds."
"..."
Zhang Tan drew useful information from this sentence, that is, he was not such a person before. He did not leave pigtails or dye his hair, and he may not even have many bad deeds.
Tang Yu went abroad to study at university after graduating from high school, and the two separated at that time, so in other words, Zhang Tan changed after graduating from high school and before going to university.
Why are there these changes? It's just that something big happened. Zhang Tan can't remember anything big.
He continued what he said before and asked: "After you met Xiaobai by chance, why did she let you take care of her for a month at your house? Where are her parents?"
As soon as Zhang Tan finished speaking, Tang Yu looked at him, with a flash of ridicule on his face.
Zhang Tan caught this change in her mood and was stunned. He was sure that Tang Yu was mocking him, not Xiaobai's parents.
His head suddenly felt heavy, and he really wanted to crack his head open to see if there was a knot in it. Why didn't he remember all these things? He was so confused now.
"Alas~~"
Suddenly Tang Yu sighed, lowered his eyes, looked at his hand on his knee and said: "Her mother is dead. The landlord knows my contact information, so he called me. When I arrived, she was sitting at the end of the bed,
I covered her mother with a quilt and thought she was asleep. She had no relatives in Pujiang and was such a small child, so I took care of her for a month until her grandmother came to pick her up from her hometown."
Zhang Tan was so surprised that he didn't speak for a long time. He subconsciously turned his head to look at the restaurant. The voices of Xiaobai and Xi'er could be heard faintly. They were discussing where the little orange cat's mother was and why she didn't come to find her.
it.
"Did he die accidentally? Or something?" Zhang Tan asked in a low voice, subconsciously wary of Xiaobai, fearing that she would hear something, even though such a long distance allowed them to talk safely.
Tang Yu picked up the transparent glass on the coffee table, Gulu took a big sip and said, "Depression committed suicide."
Zhang Tan was silent again for a while. He remembered the photo of her mother that he saw at Xiaobai's house during the Spring Festival. The girl in the photo was pretty and cute, with flying skirts. She looked cheerful and optimistic. How could she be depressed?
"Doesn't Xiaobai still have a father?" He asked. If his father was here, Xiaobai would not have to be taken care of by Tang Yu.
