The two children looked at each other and laughed. Xiaobai ate the meat himself, put the bear drink in the straw, gave it to Shi Baobao, and invited him to drink.
Shi Baobao took a sip and exclaimed, "It tastes really good. Thank you, Xiaobai."
The Little Red Horse was relatively deserted tonight, with very few children coming. Not a few.
Zhang Tan was actually happy with this kind of desolation. Others hoped that the business of opening a shop would be prosperous, but he hoped that one day his Little Red Horse Academy would no longer be needed by society, so that he could close his shop with peace of mind.
Teacher Jiang brought the glutinous rice balls prepared downstairs and distributed them to the few children.
The teacher on duty tonight is Teacher Xiaoliu. She started working after giving birth.
Xiaobai took Shi Baobao to give rewards and told them to sit in a row and divide the fruits.
But there were only three or two big cats and kittens in total, and they were all sorted out in a few moments, and Xiaobai's shouts were still echoing.
Zhang Tan took them both to watch the moonlight in the yard.
Lao Li was walking under the moon, wrapped in his military uniform, with shadows dancing in the trees and swaying figures. He was holding a teapot in one hand and a teacup in the other. He would fill it up for himself from time to time and drink it all in one gulp, looking carefree and melancholy.
His daughter returned to China during the Chinese New Year, but left on the third day of the Lunar New Year, leaving him and his wife alone.
The year has come to an end, and there are only a few hurried days to get together. What are you trying to do in this life?
Lao Li has lived for most of his life and still hasn't figured it out. He wants to seek an answer from Mingyue tonight.
"Where does Li Pengyu live?"
Seeing the strange behavior of Lao Li, Xiaobai asked curiously. She held Shi Baobao and refused to let him pass, fearing that the obedient Shi Baobao would be eaten by the weird Li Baobao.
Zhang Tan said: "He is expressing emotions. Children don't understand. You go back to the classroom and draw."
Xiaobai and Shi Baobao entered the classroom hand in hand. Zhang Tan stood in the yard, away from Lao Li, paying attention to him, but did not come forward to disturb him.
However, Lao Li was melancholy for a long time, and Zhang sighed coldly. He returned home and came back soon. He stepped forward and said to Lao Li: "The more you drink the tea, the colder it becomes. The more you drink the wine, the warmer it becomes. Can you please have some?"
Lao Li subconsciously looked around to confirm that the man in his house was not there, and secretly said: "I can't drink."
Zhang Tan laughed and said, "You can't dance in the square yet, but do you really not want to dance?"
Lao Li was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "This way, please come to the house."
The lights in the guard box were getting warmer, and Lao Li's voice could not be shut.
“That’s it??”
Zhang Tan filled a small glass for him, put down the bottle and said, "That's enough, just the right amount. You don't have to look, there's no more wine in the bottle, it's all here, just enough for each of us to have a glass."
After saying that, Zhang Tan threw the wine bottle directly into the trash can. Lao Li looked at the wine bottle lying in the trash can, and then at Zhang Tan. He didn't know whether to laugh or be angry for a moment, but he finally aroused his thirst for wine.
He was addicted, but he only brought him a small cup!!
He was so angry that he lay down on the rocking chair, swaying and swaying, looking at the ceiling in a daze.
Zhang Tan sat slowly in front of the fire, "I'll buy you a new rocking chair tomorrow. This one is too old."
The rocking chair creaked as it swayed, but Lao Li said nothing.
Zhang Tan added: "I really missed him so much that I called him back."
After a while, Lao Li sighed quietly: "Is the moon in foreign countries rounder than in China? Forget it, who doesn't want to travel all over the world when she is young? When she is tired, she will come back naturally and do it.
Parents must understand and not hold back..."
Suddenly a ringtone rang in the small guard box. He turned his head and saw Zhang Tan dialing the phone. Soon a familiar female voice came from the phone.
"Hello, Zhang Tan, happy Lantern Festival, why do you want to call me?"
"Today's Lantern Festival, do you have any plans there?" Zhang Tan asked.
Lao Li was agitated, raised his upper body and asked: "Who are you calling?"
Zhang Tan didn't answer, and a familiar voice continued to come from the other end of the phone: "I made an appointment with some friends from China to cook together. Look, we made glutinous rice balls..."
"Zhang Tan, who are you calling?"
Lao Li flashed next to Zhang Tan. I don't know when he got up from the rocking chair. His waist was so strong.
Zhang Tan turned the phone camera to him, "What do you think? Do you want to say a few words?"
Lao Li snatched the phone away. He didn't want to say a few words to his daughter, he wanted to say a hundred.
Zhang Tan came out of the guard box knowingly, closed the door, and allowed Lao Li, who missed his daughter, to express what was in his heart.
During festivals, people are always particularly emotionally sensitive.
Zhang Tan was wandering around the yard. He had too much dinner and was a little stuffed. After the Spring Festival, his abdominal muscles were almost gone and his belly popped out.
"hiahiahia~~~"
Suddenly, Xi'er's unique laughter sounded around him. Zhang Tan, who was thinking about something while walking, was startled. When he took a closer look, he saw the little sisters of the Tan family standing outside the gate.
"Is my sister Xi'er right? Boss Zhang is really here."
The two sisters had the Lantern Festival dinner and went out for a walk to watch the fireworks and go shopping.
They planned to go to West Chang'an Street. There was a fireworks show in the square there, and asked Zhang Tan if he would go.
Zhang Tan went back to the house and called Xiaobai. Shi Baobao followed him out with a hopeful look on his face. When Xi'er saw him, she pointed at him and laughed loudly: "Shi Baobao~~Don't slip away, Shi Baobao~~~"
Shi Baobao subconsciously wanted to run away, but Xiaobai grabbed his hand and said, "Let's go play together."
A group of people went out to watch the fireworks show.
As soon as the Lantern Festival is over, the Spring Festival is officially over, and life and work are back on track.
Zhang Tan went to work at the headquarters of Kuxun Video the next day, and she was extremely anxious with Zhang Niancheng and others. The worries in her heart gradually turned into the cold reality that none of these dolls would come.
With the help of Zhang Tan, she and the director of the kindergarten, Aunt Huang, called the dolls. Unfortunately, their parents told them that the dolls were not coming! There are many reasons for not coming, and each family is different.
The reasons why people meet again are generally the same, because they want to see each other, but the reasons for separation are always different.
Xiaobai was sad about this for many days, while Xi'er and Xiaomi, who were more sentimental, cried a lot and couldn't keep up their spirits these days.
Fortunately among the misfortunes, all the members of the "I just want to play and don't want to work" bestie group are back.
Even the "little daughter-in-law" Zheng Zheng, who no longer needs to come to Little Red Horse to take care of her, came. Her mother asked her to make more friends in the academy, but she didn't listen at all. She only recognized Xi'er and followed her all the time.
By her side, she would follow wherever Xi'er went.
After the Spring Festival, the babies all look a little chubby. For example, little Zheng Zheng has baby fat.
Xiaomi seems to have grown a little taller, but in fact she has not grown taller. She has only grown in temperament. The experience of the Spring Festival has made her more sensible.
