No wonder Xiaoling sent a telegram to call him back as soon as possible. This matter was really urgent.
Xu Erlong held the sweater and was about to take a closer look when Zhang Jinfang came over with noodles.
Seeing Xu Erlong holding the sweater and looking at it, Zhang Jinfang said repeatedly: "Erlong, don't touch this sweater, otherwise the stitches will be missed and it will be difficult to thread the needle."
"Whose sweater is this?" Xu Erlong asked, his voice a little unsteady.
He was really afraid that the words "Xu Dongsheng" would come out of Zhang Jinfang's mouth.
"Oh, this belongs to a neighbor. His sleeve is torn now and he can't mend it himself. So he asked me to mend it for him," Zhang Jinfang said.
Xu Erlong kept his gaze on Zhang Jinfang, seeing that she looked calm, without any trace of panic or awkwardness.
Xu Erlong knew his mother well. She was not a good liar, nor did she know how to cover up.
So, this sweater really does not belong to Xu Dongsheng, but he was just too nervous and sensitive just now?
"Eat the noodles quickly, why are you staring at me?" Zhang Jinfang asked Xu Erlong with a smile.
"I feel like you've lost weight during this period." Xu Erlong casually found a reason.
Zhang Jinfang touched her face: "Probably, I have sprained my foot, so cooking is not as convenient as before, so I am a bit sloppy. It's okay, my foot is almost healed now, and you are back, I will make more delicious food."
"
"Yeah. That's good." Xu Erlong held the chopsticks.
"Eat quickly, otherwise the noodles will become lumpy and unpalatable." Zhang Jinfang motioned to him.
Xu Erlong picked up the chopsticks and ate the noodles.
The spicy and fragrant noodles were eaten in his mouth, which made Xu Erlong feel the taste of his hometown that he had not seen for a long time.
After supper was over, Aunt Guihua hurriedly went to clean up the dishes and wash the dishes.
"Go to bed early. If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it tomorrow." Zhang Jinfang said, "Xiaoling will go to school early tomorrow morning, so don't affect her sleep."
"Okay." Xu Erlong was no longer in a hurry.
As long as his mother and Xiaoling are safe in front of him now, he will feel relieved.
Xu Erlong fetched hot water and took a pleasant hot bath. He had not taken a good bath after traveling and traveling for the past few days.
After taking a shower, he quietly went back to his room and fell asleep.
Don't think that you can sleep peacefully by sleeping on a train berth.
He had to worry so much when he was out and about, basically half asleep and half awake. Only when he returned to his own home could he really sleep peacefully.
The next morning, Xu Erlong was awakened by the sound of Xiaoling reading.
Well, this girl has a very decent attitude towards reading. When she wakes up every morning, she reads loudly.
Regardless of the results, at least this attitude is worthy of recognition.
Xu Erlong got up accordingly.
Zhang Jinfang has already cooked soy milk, fried eggs, and baked two pancakes for breakfast.
Xiaoling finished reading and sat down at the table to eat.
She kept giving Xu Erlong winks.
Xu Erlong understood her look and sat down at the dining table to have breakfast.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Xu Erlong helped lift Xiaoling's schoolbag: "Xiaoling, let's go, I'll take you to school."
Zhang Jinfang echoed: "Yes, Erlong, you can give Xiaoling a gift. Oh, there are too many robberies and murders these days, it's so scary."
I used to live in this area. Although there were some minor frictions in the area and there were minor disputes between neighbors, it was nothing major.
She has never encountered such rape, robbery, or murder.
She all believed that the situation in the country was excellent and everything was peaceful.
As a result, it was a propaganda truck, promoting one thing or another all day long, which made her nervous and afraid that a murderer would jump out at any time.
"Well, I'm going to see Xiaoling off. You should be more vigilant, but don't scare yourself. The overall social situation is good. Just because a vicious incident happened, you can't feel that there are bad people everywhere." Xu Erlong advised.
He asked Zhang Jinfang not to be too nervous and to scare herself.
Xu Xiaoling was already rushing out: "Oh, second brother, stop talking and leave quickly. If you stay later, you will be late."
Xu Erlong followed her out quickly.
Pushing the bicycle out, Xu Erlong patted the back seat: "Come up, I'll take you."
Xu Xiaoling was sitting sideways in the back seat, and Xu Erlong took her to the chemical engineering school.
At this moment, people are coming and going on the street, including workers rushing to work and students going to school.
"Now let's talk about it. What happened to urge me to come back?" Xu Erlong rode his bike towards Xiaoling.
Xu Xiaoling replied in a muffled voice from the back seat: "Second brother, you came back yesterday and didn't find anything wrong?"
Xu Erlong asked calmly: "What's wrong?"
"Oh, so you men are just so careless and careless." Xu Xiaoling frowned: "Didn't you see that sweater last night?"
Xu Erlong just pretended not to understand: "What happened to the sweater? Didn't you say that it was darned for the neighbor?"
Usually, Zhang Jinfang often helps her neighbors with sewing and mending, but it doesn't seem to be a big problem.
"But, that man has been coming in and out of my house for a long time, and I bumped into him two or three times," Xu Xiaoling said.
As a teenage girl, she is sensitive.
As a child of a single-parent family, she is sensitive and resistant to having a stepfather.
Although she only bumped into Li Yong twice when she went home, she subconsciously felt that this man was showing kindness to Zhang Jinfang.
This is both delivering medicine and helping to buy groceries. To say that it has no purpose is true or false.
Xu Xiaoling even used her wild imagination on this matter.
It would be a joke if people who plan to be writers in the future don’t have any free imagination.
She has written several versions of the short composition deep in her heart.
For example, under Li Yong's persistent pursuit, Zhang Jinfang, a divorced woman, felt the concern from men. In her more than thirty years of life, she has been working hard and working hard for others. She has never experienced love and tenderness.
The appearance of Li Yong was like raindrops on her dry heart. Therefore, Zhang Jinfang was like a moth flying into the fire. Regardless of her children's objections, she resolutely stayed with Li Yong to break the worldly prejudice and
Bravely pursuing happiness. Even despite the dangers of advanced age, she insisted on giving birth to two sons for Li Yong. As a result, poor Xiaoling became a lonely orphan. She was forced to drop out of school and become a child at home.
The nanny took care of two half-brothers. She suffered too much indifference, so she gave up on herself, drank, smoked, wandered around the world, and lived a lonely life. She even took a knife to carve marks on her body.
