I woke up feeling refreshed. The windows were not closed last night and the air conditioner was not turned on. The wind outside the window was filtered by the green leaves and blew in. It was very cool.
Zhang Tan picked up the phone on the bedside table and looked at it. It was 6:30 in the morning. He lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling for a while, sorted out what he had to do today, and got up!
With his bare feet on the floor, he squatted down and looked under the bed, then in the corner.
"No, where is it hidden?" Zhang Tan said to himself.
Two crickets chirped all night last night, and they were under the bed, but they couldn't be found.
To say that the chirping of crickets is so small, it can be ignored most of the time, but in the dead of night when people are quiet, the more you listen carefully, the more you hear the "beep beep beep" sound in your ears.
Bang bang bang~~~~
There was noise from the yard, and Zhang Tan wondered, who was in the yard early in the morning? It was usually very quiet at this time, except for the bugs in the early morning, there was no sound, and the noise on West Chang'an Street was blocked by the trees.
He pushed open the glass door of the balcony and looked for it in the yard. He saw a child wearing a red and white jersey, chasing a football and kicking it when he caught it. Behind him was a big number 33, shining brightly in the rising sun.
Little white children's shoes!
Zhang Tan rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked again. They were still white children's shoes! They were not made from birds, insects or fruits.
Why is she here?
Did she come out of the ground?
Didn't she leave last night?
…
Zhang Tan had a lot of questions. He was in a daze. He didn't know when he got up. Xiaobai had come to the balcony and stood at the foot of the mulberry tree. He looked up at him and saw him looking over. He giggled: "Boss Zhang, come down and play."
?”
What? Boss Zhang??? What kind of name is this?
Zhang Tan rubbed his eyes and looked carefully: "Are you really a noob?"
"What?" Xiaobai asked in surprise.
"Are you a noob?"
Xiaobai glanced at him, muttered something magical, turned around and left, not bothering to answer, continuing to play football, and singing loudly: "Tang Monk rides a horse, dong that dong, followed by Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong, run fast, followed by
Piggy. Piggy, with a long nose, followed by a sand monk..."
Xiaobai also sang this song, so Zhang Tan was sure that this was Xiaobai. When did she come?
With questions in mind, Zhang Tan quickly washed up, put on his sports clothes, and went for a morning jog in the yard.
Bang~~ The football rolled over and reached his feet. Xiaobai put his hands on his hips and said, "Uncle, have a good time."
Just play, Zhang Tan picked up his kick and the football flew up.
"Oh haha~~~~"
Xiaobai's eyes followed the football, and he watched the football fall on the tree, and it got stuck between the branches of the tree, motionless!
Xiaobai quickly turned his little head around, stared at Zhang Tan with wide eyes, as if he was about to get angry.
When I asked him if he was having fun, he actually kicked the child's football away and into a tree. Is he here to cause damage? Do you think children have no temper? Are children that easy to bully? Do you want to make a fight?
Zhang Tan also saw that Xiaobai Children's Shoes was not someone to be trifled with, as he looked at him with a fierce look and an unkind expression.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. I didn't mean to do it. It was an accident. I'll get it."
Zhang Tan walked under the camphor tree and looked up. The football was stuck between the branches of the tree, about 3/4 meters above the ground. He wanted to find a stick to poke it with. Xiao Bai also came and stood at his feet.
He raised his head and looked at it, and volunteered: "Uncle, let me show off my strengths."
"ah?"
Zhang Tan didn't react until he saw Xiaobai eager to try and already hugging the tree trunk. It was obvious that he wanted to climb the tree. Among her numerous strengths, climbing the tree was one of them.
Sure enough, Xiaobai said: "I'm going to climb the tree."
"Hey, hey, don't go up the tree, I have a better way to get the football down."
"This is my strength."
"Don't be like this, this is also my strength."
"What? Your strengths? What do you mean?"
"Nothing else, just follow me to get a stick, poke it and then come down."
He took Xiaobai away by force, found a long pole, stood under the tree and poked it, and bang, the football fell down.
Zhang Tan lowered his head and said to Xiaobai at his feet: "See? This is my strength. You can't compare to me in being tall."
Xiaobai opens her mouth big and small, this strength, emmmmm~~~ is really not hers, and she is embarrassed to boast like this.
"How did you come? Who sent you here?" Zhang Tan asked.
"My aunt sent it." Xiaobai said.
Her aunt and uncle had to go to work at six o'clock every morning. In the past, they always left Xiaobai at home and let her sleep. But today because they had to go out, they sent her to the academy early. The guard Lao Li let her in
.The old man sleeps lightly and wakes up when there is any movement.
Zhang Tan noticed a small schoolbag and a sky blue kettle thrown in the yard, which belonged to Xiao Bai.
"Have you had breakfast?" Zhang Tan asked.
"Eat."
Just think about it, if I didn’t eat, how could I be so energetic and play football so early in the morning?
Zhang Tan asked Xiaobai to play football by himself while he ran a few laps.
Xiaobai stopped calling him for playing tricks. Who knows if the uncle will kick her football into the sky next time? This boss Zhang is causing havoc.
One of them was running in a circle, and the other was kicking a football.
"Xiaobai, Xiaobai, why are you earlier than me? Open the door?"
Outside the wall, stood Yellowberry.
Xiaobai just kicked the football here.
Xiaobai no longer recognized her. When he heard that he had to open the door by himself, he immediately became wary and looked at her suspiciously.
"Where do you live?"
"..." Huang Liangliang said, "Open the door, Xiaobai, and let me in."
Xiaobai asked: "Who are you? Where do you want to live?"
Last time she picked up a young lady to come in, but she wouldn't let her in unless the one in front of her also fell down.
As the saying goes, the day's plan begins in the morning, and Huangmeibei regained his blood overnight, but then he encountered Xiaobai, and he suddenly felt frustrated.
"Xiao Bai, it's me, your sister Berry Berry, didn't we meet last night?..." Huang Berry had to introduce herself.
Xiaobai listened carefully, and looking at her little appearance, Huang Liangliang thought she must have remembered it, but who knew...
"Why are you so provocative~~ I don't know you, why are you telling me where these people live~"
He kicked the football, turned around and ran after the football.
Huangmeiberry: "..."
She began to doubt whether it was necessary to go with today's trip?
"Zhang Tan! Zhang Tan—open the door!"
Huang Liangliang could only call out to Zhang Tan.
Zhang Tan heard the sound and wanted to come over to open the door, but Xiaobai stopped him and pointed at Huangmeiberry without knowing what he was talking about. Zhang Tan touched Xiaobai's head and ran over.
Huang Liangliang wore a sports suit today and looked full of energy.
"Why did you come so early? We didn't leave until eight o'clock."
Zhang Tan opened the door and let Huang Limei in.
Huangmeiberry raised the handbag in her hand and said, "I've prepared breakfast for you."
Zhang Tan was surprised: "Thank you, you are so considerate."
"Don't thank me, thank my mother. She heard that you were going to take Xiaobai Xiaomi out to play today, so she prepared these foods last night, not only for morning food, but also for lunch, in case the children would be hungry.
"
"Thank you Aunt Huang."
"Just keep running and come over to eat later."
Huang Liangliang looked at Xiaobai who was approaching, and said angrily: "What? Xiaobai, do you know now that I am a good person?"
"I don't know you. I will let you in from now on. Don't be angry."
You said that, how can I be angry?
"I have breakfast here, have you eaten? Come together."
"I'm so full."
After saying that, he ran to chase the football.
Huang Liangliang watched her run away and asked Zhang Tan: "Has Xiaomi gotten up?"
"Still sleeping."
Zhang Tan continued running, ran five laps, called Xiaobai up, and returned home.
Huang Liangliang has put breakfast on the table and is in the dormitory on the second floor, taking care of Xiaomi to get up.
Huang Liangliang was driven away by Xiaobai last night. She was greatly frustrated and had doubts about her affinity. She finally recovered half of her blood in one night, but met Xiaobai again early in the morning. This child was simply out of tune with her, which made her feel uncomfortable.
Whether she can open the door or not, the key is that if you don't want to open it, you should have told her earlier, and she has to say a lot before she can't. Isn't this just teasing her?
Fortunately, Xiaomi liked her very much and asked her to help her get up, which made Huang Liangliang full of confidence in herself.
Xiaomi was very friendly to her, but when she saw Zhang Tan, she was still very reserved. She sat at the dining table, upright, lowered her head and concentrated on eating breakfast. She didn't speak. She only answered questions when she asked her. And her voice was very low and she couldn't hide.
The crickets are loud in some corner of the house.
Breakfast consists of fermented bean curd noodles, scallion pancakes, glutinous rice dumplings, egg pancakes, as well as sugar cakes and rice pancakes prepared for lunch. These are not eaten for lunch, but to temporarily fill the stomach when I am hungry in the morning.
Xiaomi asked in a low voice why Xiaobai didn't come.
It was agreed yesterday that Xiaobai would also go. It was precisely because Xiaobai was going that she went. If Xiaobai didn't go, she wouldn't go either.
Now, the three of them were having breakfast, but Xiaobai was missing. Could it be that Xiaobai was not coming? This made Xiaomi feel uneasy.
Huang Liangliang looked around the house, looking for Xiaobai. She came up. She was there just now, but she disappeared in a moment.
Zhang Tan said: "It's in the bathroom."
Xiaomi's eyes lit up and her confidence recovered a lot. With Xiaobai around, she had a companion and became much more courageous.
After a while, Xiaobai finally swayed out.
"Xiaobai~~" Xiaomi locked her eyes immediately and shouted happily. Now, she felt like playing.
Xiaobai responded to Xiaomi and bent down to check under the table.
"What are you looking at?" Zhang Tan asked, not eating but looking under the table.
"Why is there the sound of a chicken crowing?" Xiaobai asked doubtfully, and listened carefully. Yes, it was the crow of a chicken, dudududu~
"Call a chicken? What is it?" Huang Liangliang's confused eyes fell on Zhang Tan. She really wanted to ask Xiaobai, but she felt that Xiaobai might ignore her, so it was better to ask Zhang Tan directly.
Zhang Tan glanced at Xiaobai Xiaomi, and the two children were looking under the table, and replied: "It's just crickets."
Suddenly, the sound of crickets rang in their ears, and everyone heard it. Huang Meili was surprised and said: "Zhang Tan, why do you still have crickets in your house? It's so original."
