Zhang Tan asked Xiaobai if he still remembered his father. Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, thought about it again and again, shook his head, and said he couldn't remember.
Zhang Tan was about to speak when he suddenly felt someone tugging at him on his right. It was Xi'er.
Xi'er didn't wait for him to ask, and nodded proactively, saying that she remembered her father, and then took the initiative to tell him how good his father was. He would ride a big horse for her, and she could see far from her height. She especially liked her father.
dad.
"You are so happy." Zhang Tan praised.
Hiahiahia laughed and was overjoyed.
Zhang Tan quickly took the opportunity to change the topic and stopped talking about this, for fear of causing sadness to the two children.
"Ma Lanhua~~Ma Lanhua~~are not afraid of wind or rain..."
Xi'er hummed a song, shook her head, her pigtails twitched, and kept croaking.
Xiaobai looked at her in surprise. It was her aunt who was singing. Not to be outdone, she sang along.
Fortunately, Malanhua is not here. If she hears it, she will definitely ask about their filial piety. Where did their filial piety go and let the dog eat it?
Parents came to pick up children one after another in the yard. Xiaobai sat next to Zhang Tan, and she introduced each one to them.
Zhang Tan asked in surprise: "Do you know all the parents of these children?"
Xiaobai nodded, laughed, and talked to her smartly.
Really smart.
The number of parents coming and going gradually became less and less, and the children in the classroom were returning to their dormitories to sleep. Zhang Tan looked around and saw that Xiaobai and Xi'er were both there.
Xi'er asked in surprise: "Why didn't anyone come to pick up Xi'er? Xi'er is a baby! Hiahia, Boss Zhang, come on."
She laughed playfully and imitated Xiaobai's previous behavior, leaning on Zhang Tan's arm and kicking her little feet excitedly.
Zhang Tan smiled and said, "Xi'er, you are so cute. If your sister doesn't come to pick you up, I will pick you up."
"hiahia, where do you want Xi'er to be taken?"
"Take him to my home and keep Xiaobai company."
"hiahiahia~~~~It's so fun."
This fool is particularly easy to satisfy.
Teacher Xiaoliu came out of the classroom at this time and called Xiaobai to go to bed.
"Where is Xi'er?" Seeing that she was not there, Xi'er raised her little hand to apply aggrievedly.
Teacher Xiaoliu said: "Your sister will be here soon. Of course, if you want to sleep, you can come too. Are you coming?"
"Then I'd better accompany Boss Zhang."
Zhang Tan asked: "Xiaobai's uncle and aunt will come back to pick her up soon."
Unexpectedly, Teacher Xiaoliu said no. Bai Jianping called her in the evening and asked if Xiaobai could stay at Little Red Horse Academy tonight because he and his wife wanted to watch a midnight movie and live a life together for two.
Zhang Tan: "..."
He looked at Xiaobai who was "abandoned". Xiaobai nodded in confusion, yes, that's right, she knew that she was a child, what could she do? She was also helpless.
Zhang Tan also wanted to wait for Bai Jianping and Malanhua to come back and talk to them about the matter. As a result, the two of them did not follow common sense and did not go home at night. They wandered outside. Liuliu was right, they were making noises.
"Go to sleep, Xiaobai, go to sleep."
Liuliu Xiaomi and Cheng Cheng ran out and called Xiaobai to go to bed together. Xiaobai followed. Xi'er looked left and right and ran along laughing. But after a while, she walked out again and walked to Zhang
Zhang Tan continued to sit on the steps beside her, looked at Zhang Tan and asked: "Boss Zhang, what are you thinking about? Are you so sad?"
Zhang Tan asked: "No, why do you ask that?"
"Xi'er thinks you are so pitiful."
"...Didn't you go to bed?"
"I'll stay with you. You look so pitiful."
Fortunately, that's not what you said. This man looks like a dog. He is so pitiful.
Zhang Tan stroked the little girl's head and waited for her sister with her, "Want to hear a story? Let me tell you a story."
"hiahiahia, Xi'er likes to listen to stories the most."
While Zhang Tan was telling Xi'er a story, in the dormitory on the second floor, Liuliu was losing her temper because she found that she was missing two packs of gummy bears. Some thief stole her gummy bears. They were ducks.
Isn’t it that I can’t afford to play duck??
One of the culprits was listening to Zhang Tan's story, and the other one was on the small bed not far from Liliu. He was rolling on the bed, but when he heard Liliu getting angry, he immediately got under the quilt and fell silent, and went to sleep obediently.
.
Tan Jin'er came at 10:30, and Zhang Tan handed Xi'er to her and wished the two little sisters a good night. Then, he received a double good night, and the net profit was not lost.
The next day, Xiaobai came very early, carrying a small schoolbag and a lunch box, and brought breakfast to Boss Zhang.
Breakfast is wonton noodles, made with malan flowers.
Malanhua dodges her eyes, not daring to look at Zhang Tan. After all, he is already quite old, but he is still acting like a young man, not going home after watching a movie at night!
Zhang Tan took the wonton noodles and said to Xiaobai, "Thank you, Xiaobai. Do you want to eat by yourself? Do you want to come together?"
"Hoho, I'm full, I'm going to play with Dudu."
The little guy skipped to the studio, where Dudu had already arrived and was moving Xin Xiaoguang's easel. The two were in a stalemate...
After watching Xiaobai go, Ma Lanhua was also ready to say goodbye, but Zhang Tan said, "Please wait a moment, Sister Ma, do you have time? Let's talk."
"Ah?" Ma Lanhua was stunned for a moment, then said yes, her heart pounding because she didn't know what boss Zhang wanted to do with her. This feeling was a bit like being called into Teacher Jiang's office to talk when she was studying.
The two came to the classroom on the first floor. Zhang Tan put down the wonton noodles and instead of eating them in a hurry, he said, "You have been going to Qicheng for a while. I heard that you came back this time because of Tang Yu?"
Malanhua was confused and didn't understand why Zhang Tan talked about Tang Yu. She didn't know the relationship between Zhang Tan and Tang Yu.
"Yes, Tang Yu took care of Xiaobai back then. We are all very grateful to her, but we never found her. It turned out that she was studying abroad and only came back recently. After my old Bai saw her, he called me and told me, I said
I must come back and thank her in person, if it weren’t for her, my little Bai would not know where he is now.”
Zhang Tan nodded and said, "I really need to thank her."
Malanhua felt the same way: "Yes, Lao Bai and I took Xiaobai to see her the day before yesterday. She is a good person. She not only helped Xiaobai, but also helped Xiaobai's mother Yu Xin."
Tang Yu's hometown is also from Sichuan. Her parents are from Sichuan and moved to Pujiang when she was a child. Their family takes great care of their Sichuan fellows, and they open companies and bars that employ many Sichuan people, including Bai Yuxin.
At that time, Bai Yuxin had just arrived in Pujiang. He was not well educated and had no special skills. He was left behind by Tang Yu's family bar.
Zhang Tan said: "That's fate. By the way, you may not know that Ding Jiamin from Xiaomi family handled the case of Xiaobai's mother back then."
Malanhua asked in surprise: "Ding Jiamin? Oh, that's Officer Ding. Has she handled Yu Xin's case?"
Zhang Tan: "Yes, she just joined the job that year and handled it. I heard that when you came to Pujiang, you were not just working, but also looking for someone? Is that right?"
Malanhua paused for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, I have been looking for someone."
"Can you tell me in detail? Maybe I have a clue."
"Of course that's good. Actually, I'm looking for Xiaobai's father."
