Xi'er thought that she was going to separate from Xiaobai and Xiaomi, so she cried and hugged Zhang Tan's legs. Later, she was comforted by everyone and knew that they would not be separated, so she stopped crying.
The three children gathered together and murmured, not knowing what they said. Xi'er started laughing again.
Crying and laughing at the same time, so silly and cute.
"hiahiahiahia~~~"
Zhang Tan asked in a consultative tone: "Xi'er~"
"Huh?" Xi'er raised her little head, with tears still hanging on her face.
Zhang Tan: "Can you let go of my legs first?"
Only then did Xi'er realize that she had been hugging Boss Zhang's leg, hiahiahia~~~
The children chatted and said goodbye to their classmates, and then left with the adults. Zhang Tan asked Xiaomi: "Will Xiaomi go to the Little Red Horse to play?"
Xiaomi moved and looked at Ding Jiamin. Ding Jiamin said she could go if she wanted to.
"Okay~" Xiaomi responded happily.
Zhang Tan took the three children back. He finally asked for Xi'er's quilt. He took off the quilt cover when he went home and put it in the washing machine for washing.
Tan Jin'er doesn't have a washing machine at home, so she has to wash it by hand if she takes it home.
Although it was machine washing, Tan Jin'er insisted on her doing it. She washed Xiaobai and Xi'er's quilts, pillows, and mattresses, then pulled up the clothesline in the yard and dried the quilts.
Xiaobai, Xiaomi and Xi'er were chatting with Lao Li in the yard. Lao Li was making tea, sitting on an armchair, and talking to three children.
"It's summer vacation. I have two months. I don't have to get up so early. I can sleep in and sleep in whenever I want. I don't even have to eat breakfast. What kind of breakfast can I have? How can I sleep comfortably? Don't you think so?
?”
Xiaobai and Xiaomi remained silent, feeling that something was wrong with what Lao Li said.
"Yes~"
Xi'er nodded in agreement and replied crisply.
Xiaobai and Xiaomi both looked at her, and she smiled and said proudly: "No breakfast! Go to bed, sleep in!"
Lao Li was overjoyed: "Yes, Xi'er is right. It's comfortable to sleep in. Li Baobao, I'm old now. I can't sleep, it's painful, and the joy of life has been reduced by half. Do you have any plans for the summer vacation? What? No?"
Just stay at home and watch TV? That’s so monotonous and boring! You should talk to an adult about what kind of summer camp you want to go to, what kind of travel, what kind of summer vacation in Mount Lu... Wherever you want to go, go as long as you have plenty of time now.
Children should go out and see more, don’t stay at home, they will be short-sighted, narrow-minded, and hopeless!”
Xiaobai and Xiaomi only listened but did not speak, always feeling that something was wrong with what Lao Li said.
"Promising! hiahia~" Xi'er still agreed with Lao Li's words, and it seemed that they spoke to her heart.
"You can also join interest classes. Don't you like painting, like Xiaobai? Study it specifically. This is your strength. Xiaomi likes...oh, what does Xiaomi like? Xi'er likes dancing, you can find one
The teacher will teach you how to dance the little swan dance, the kind that you dance on tiptoes. It’s so cute, especially suitable for children like you..."
"Okay~" Xi'er agreed again.
Zhang Tan came out of the room, sat down next to Lao Li, poured himself a cup of tea, and listened to Lao Li's words for a while. He just wanted to discuss summer vacation plans with Xiaobai.
"Would you like to go to summer camp?" Zhang Tan asked them and explained what summer camp was.
The three children shook their heads in unison and said no.
It's so much fun at Little Red Horse, why go to summer camp?
Zhang Tan said: "Xiaobai and I are going back to Sichuan, right, Xiaobai, and grandma will go back together. We will stay there for a while, and then we can go traveling. There are many tourist destinations in Sichuan, such as Jiuzhaigou,
Let’s go to Mount Emei or something, what do you think?”
Xiaobai had no problem. He put his arms around Xiaomi and Xi'er's shoulders and said he wanted to go with them.
Zhang Tan thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll tell Sister Jin'er and Sister Xiaomin later."
"Xi'er! Aren't you coming to help my sister dry the quilt?" Tan Jin'er seemed to have heard something and wanted to send Xi'er away and asked her to help dry the quilt.
When Xi'er heard this, she immediately ran away.
In the evening, the sunset filled the sky and the sky was burning with clouds, attracting many citizens to stop and watch outside.
Xiaobai and Xi'er stood on the balcony on the third floor, lying in front of the astronomical telescope and watching, admiring and admiring.
The two were so absorbed in the beautiful scenery that they didn't notice Cheng Cheng wearing a small skirt standing downstairs.
"Xiaobai~~Xi'er~~~"
Cheng Cheng had shouted several times, but her voice was too soft and the two children didn't hear her. They didn't notice until her father shouted.
Meng Guangxin took Cheng Cheng to the third floor. Zhang Tan invited him to sit in the room. Meng Guangxin hesitated and followed in.
Cheng Cheng was taken to the room by Xiaobai and Xi'er to play with dolls, while Meng Guangxin sat down on the sofa in the living room and watched Zhang Tan pour tea and water. He stood up and took it, and at the same time handed Zhang Tan a gift bag he had brought.
The gift bag is bright red and looks cheerful.
Zhang Tan asked doubtfully: "What is this?"
Meng Guangxin smiled, a little embarrassed, and said: "Cheng Cheng's mother and I have remarried. Thank you Boss Zhang for taking care of me and Cheng Cheng over the past two years. Because we are remarried, we are an old couple, so there is no banquet.
Not many people around me know about this, but I must tell Boss Zhang about this as soon as possible..."
Zhang Tan smiled and said: "Congratulations, it's a great event. I accepted the gift to share your joy. I wish you to treat each other as guests, grow old together, and be tolerant and considerate of each other. Cheng Cheng should be the happiest."
Meng Guangxin glanced towards the bedroom. The door was open, but he couldn't see the children inside. Only the sound could be heard.
"Cheng Cheng doesn't know that she was too young when her mother and I divorced. She didn't understand this and didn't know it was a divorce. So I didn't tell her about the remarriage now. I just pretended that it never happened. If I ask about it in the future, I'll just tell her that she was divorced."
Mom is on a business trip during this time."
Zhang Tan: "That's fine. It's best for children to be carefree. Don't let them know about adults' worries."
"That's what he said!"
Meng Guangxin said that he and Cheng Cheng's mother would come to visit Little Red Horse again in two days. He sat for a while and left, leaving Cheng Cheng here to play.
Zhang Tan sent him downstairs, feeling quite emotional. Meng Guangxin had disguised himself as a woman and directed and acted as Cheng Cheng's mother. She was misunderstood as a pervert and beaten while walking on West Chang'an Street. It was really not easy for this single father.
He opened the gift box, which contained some candies, and carried it to Teacher Jiang's house next door. He took out a handful of candies and put them on the table, telling Teacher Jiang that Cheng Cheng's parents had remarried.
Teacher Jiang smiled and said: "Good things come one after another. That child Cheng Cheng doesn't like to talk and is too introverted. It makes me feel bad. Now it's better. Having a complete family will be of great benefit to her growth."
"Try it, this is a gummy candy." Zhang Tan picked out a candy and gave it to Teacher Jiang.
Teacher Jiang smiled and said: "I can't eat more candies, so just eat one. To enjoy their happiness, you have to eat more."
Suddenly, she changed the topic and asked in a joking tone: "Where are you, Zhang Tan?"
"Ah? What about me?" Zhang Tan asked in confusion.
Teacher Jiang said: "When can I eat your wedding candy?"
Zhang Tan was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "How could it be so fast? I don't even have a girlfriend."
Teacher Jiang said: "Don't be too picky. Appearance is not the most important thing. Good personality and compatibility are the key."
"I don't pick."
"You have to look forward in everything, and don't dwell on the past. I'm waiting for your wedding wine, don't make me wait too long."
Zhang Tan was speechless, lowering his head to peel the candy and eat it, so that no one could see his expression. After a while, he said: "...Thank you, grandma."
