On the way home from kindergarten, Malanhua and Xiaobai walked slowly.
In winter, the days are short and the nights are long. The sun has already set halfway, only half of the face is exposed, and the city streets are dyed red by the afterglow.
"Auntie, why don't you take care of Xiao Bai anymore?"
Xiaobai dragged her small schoolbag and followed Malanhua's feet, her steps were brisk and her little steps were flying. She was in a good mood. Balabala asked questions and raised her little face to look at her from time to time.
Xiaomi and Xi'er were both picked up, and the three of them had no way to go together.
Malanhua did not answer the question, but asked her to put her schoolbag on her back and not drag it!
"Xiao Xiaobai." Xiaobai put his schoolbag on his back and asked Malanhua why he didn't take care of Xiaobai in Qicheng and why he came to see her.
"I'm not here to see you." Malanhua said ruthlessly.
"Huh?" Xiaobai stopped and looked at her in surprise.
Malanhua kept walking: "Hurry up, I'm here to see your uncle."
Xiaobai chased after him and asked: "What are you doing? Uncle, what good looks do you have? Look at me, look at me, I love you so much."
"What's your name? I'm here to see you too."
Ma Lanhua did come to see Bai Jianping because she was worried that Bai Jianping's style was not upright. Didn't Xiao Bai say that he was living a comfortable life now?
The fallen leaves rustled in the wind, and a few yellow maple leaves drifted in the evening wind, falling slowly. Xiaobai stretched out his little hand, caught one of them, looked up to find where it came from, and found just one.
A yellow maple leaf fell on her face. She grabbed it, trotted a few steps, caught up with Malanhua again, and said mysteriously: "Auntie, I'm telling you something, you have to listen carefully, my God,
I don’t even know how to cry.”
Malanhua looked down at her, grabbed her with her big hand, and carried her to the inside of the sidewalk. She walked on the outside and watched the cars speed away.
"If you don't know what to say, then don't say it. Wait until you think about it."
"I want to be nagging."
"Then you are so embarrassed."
"I don't even know how to cry."
Malanhua rolled her eyes at her and said something stupid.
"Hoo hoo ho~~~" Xiaobai trotted two steps and caught up and said, "I'm telling you, aunt, don't be afraid. Boss Zhang, he is my old man."
She stared at Malanhua, wanting to see her shocked expression, but no, Malanhua was not shocked at all. She glanced down calmly, met her eyes, nodded, hummed, and continued to walk towards her without stopping.
Walk to Huangjiacun.
Xiaobai was startled, then chased after him and asked, "Auntie, aren't you so scared that you jump up?"
"Can't jump."
"Are you too fat?"
"See what this is?"
Malanhua opened her palms.
"Your slap."
"Wrong! This is my iron fist of socialism. If you call me fat again, my iron fist of socialism will hit you on the ass."
"...Aunt, Boss Zhang said he is my old man, what do you think?"
"He is."
"...e=(′o`*)))Alas~"
"Where do you live?"
"Yuanyuansuo, she wants to marry Boss Zhang when she grows up. Do I agree?"
Malanhua rolled her eyes at her again, too lazy to take up such a intellectual topic. She kept walking and walked past rows of maple trees with fallen leaves.
Xiaobai followed up with a small schoolbag on his back and said, "Should I give her earwax and poke her like a god?!"
Ma Lanhua had already prepared dinner before picking up Xiaobai from the kindergarten. When she got home, Bai Jianping had not returned yet. Xiaobai went next door to see if Xi'er was there, but found that the door of her house was locked.
Will come back.
Normally, if Tan Jin'er has to go to work at night, he will take Xi'er to a small shop on the street or go to the hotel cafeteria to eat, because he doesn't have much time to cook by himself.
Bai Jianping went home not long after, and the family of three sat at the same table for dinner again after more than a month.
Little Bai Balabala kept talking. She had to eat and talk, but she was very busy.
It's a pity that neither Ma Lanhua nor Bai Jianping answered the phone, and went to eat dinner by themselves.
The atmosphere at dinner tonight was a little weird.
Xiaobai didn't notice.
Until Malanhua spoke, she asked Bai Jianping what he was doing after dinner.
Bai Jianping heard this and looked out the window: "The weather is nice today. Look at the sunset, which looks like a woman's silk scarf. It's so beautiful~~"
Suddenly he noticed that something was wrong in Ma Lanhua's eyes, so he changed the topic: "So of course I will watch TV at home after eating."
Ma Lanhua sneered, turned on the venomous tongue mode, and disparaged Bai Jianping. After staying on the set for a few days, he became romantic. He returned the sunset and the woman's silk scarf. Why not the woman's red underwear and red smelly socks???
Bai Jianping didn't dare to say anything.
Xiaobai also fell silent. The child is still young and has not grown up yet. He cannot withstand a beating. It is important to eat honestly and not to get angry. Uncle Bai Jianping is too comfortable and he needs his aunt to take care of him.
Malanhua then asked: "If I don't come back, what are you going to do after you have eaten?"
Bai Jianping buried his head in his meal and did not answer this trap question.
"Xiaobai, tell me!"
Xiaobai trembled, she thought she was asking her uncle! Why was she asked???
"I, I'm going to Little Red Horse." Xiaobai said honestly. She knew that her aunt was going to be mad tonight. She had seen her hairy days before, it was very ominous! In short, both she and her uncle would be miserable.
Malanhua: "I'm asking you, what will your uncle do when he's full?"
Xiao Bai immediately threw the question to Bai Jianping: "Uncle, aunt is asking you, where will you live in Mangmang when you are full? Ho ho ho~"
She is a little clever and knows not to cause trouble or to be clingy at this time.
Bai Jianping knew that he couldn't escape, so he said that he usually went to the village for a walk after having a full meal.
Malanhua didn't believe it and pressed her repeatedly, even threatening to ask the owner of the canteen downstairs. Bai Jianping had no choice but to tell the truth, saying that after walking around, he would go to the square in the village to dance.
Malanhua was refreshed and felt that she had finally found the problem, so she asked: "With whom?"
"Old Li."
"Which one?"
"Old Li! Li Bai!"
"Which Li Bai?"
"The old man from Little Red Horse."
Malanhua obviously didn't believe it and asked, "What kind of square dance are you doing with him? You two old men, let's do a hammer dance."
Bai Jianping simply explained everything, saying that it was Lao Li who took him to dance in the first place. Lao Li was the "Li Bai" in square dancing, romantic and crazy.
After dinner, Ma Lanhua first sent Xiao Bai to the Little Red Horse, and then escorted Bai Jianping to the square to watch the dance.
Xiaobai wanted to follow along to watch the fun, and it was the first time she learned that her uncle could dance! She was shocked, holding the watermelon and looking like she had a headache in disbelief.
She desperately wanted to see her uncle dance, but... her aunt was a bastard!
This night, Xiaobai was absent-minded and focused on her uncle. She had never been as concerned about her uncle as she was tonight.
After waiting and waiting, her aunt finally came to take her home. She was very interested and asked questions along the way, but Malanhua refused to answer because she was a melon, which drove her crazy.
"Uncle, why don't you dance for me Kangkang? Just dance for me~~Okay~~~Uncle~~ Bai Jianping - you dance for Aunt Kang, why can't you dance for Xiao Bai Kang? Xiao Bai
Or is it not your baby anymore?..."
At home, Xiaobai pestered Bai Jianping to ask him to dance for her, using both soft and hard tactics, but it was no use. Bai Jianping lay on the rocking chair, as if his body had been hollowed out.
Xiaobai snorted, ran to Malanhua to discuss it, and whispered in her ear. He didn't know what he said, but he actually convinced Malanhua.
"Lao Bai, come and dance for me and Xiao Bai." Malanhua said.
Bai Jianping shook his head and kept silent.
"Let's dance, let's dance~~~" Xiaobai jumped around him and shouted.
Suddenly, a voice came from the door: "hiahia~ Why don't you dance?"
