Lan Yixian was collecting the garbage left by other guests after finishing their meals, when he saw a figure rushing in front of him.
He raised his head and saw Liu Changqing's face.
He asked very puzzledly.
"Why did you take a detour to have breakfast today?"
"Bring me a cup of soy milk, two fried dough sticks, a braised egg, and, um... son, do you want to eat steamed buns?!"
As he spoke, Liu Changqing turned back to Liu Zhiyue, who was sitting in the passenger seat, and asked loudly.
"I don't want to eat steamed buns, just fried dough sticks!"
"good."
After saying that, he turned to look at Lan Yixian.
"Then two fried dough sticks, an egg, and a cup of soy milk. Hurry up, you're going to be late!"
"Oh...Okay, okay."
Lan Yixian was a little confused, but seeing Liu Changqing's anxious expression, he decided to put down all his work temporarily and ran to the store.
After a while, he packed up the things and handed them to Liu Changqing.
He took it over.
"Charge it to my account first, and I'll give it to you when I get back. It's too late now!"
As he spoke, he ran towards the van.
Lan Yixian was a little confused about the situation, touched her apron, and watched in a daze as Liu Changqing opened the car door, got in, and drove away.
"What are you doing, so anxious..."
Looking at the car driving away, Lan Yixian murmured to himself.
Liu Changqing looked intently at the road ahead, while Liu Zhiyue, who was sitting in the passenger seat, took a bite of the dough stick.
My hands are busy peeling the eggs.
The carriage was filled with the smell of eggs.
Liu Changqing said.
"The breakfast shop downstairs from our house has been closed for two weeks. Is it quitting?"
"I do not know."
Liu Zhiyue replied after taking a bite of half an egg.
"Anyway, we have to take a detour to have breakfast now, which is quite troublesome."
"Then just take a few more steps and come to her house for breakfast. It would be nice, at least it would be cleaner."
"Yeah, the fried dough sticks are more fragrant than those from other places."
Liu Zhiyue took a bite of the fried dough sticks and chewed them with great approval, then took another sip of soy milk and said from the bottom of his heart.
"The soy milk is not mixed with too much water like other brands. It tastes very pure and very filling."
Liu Changqing did not say anything to refute.
In fact, Lan Yixian's breakfast is indeed better than other breakfasts.
The buns have thin skin and plenty of fillings, and the dough is chewy. The soy milk also has a particularly strong bean flavor. There is a reason why the business is good.
Driving on the road, Liu Zhiyue finished the fried dough sticks completely and kept chewing the food in his mouth. He looked up casually and saw a familiar figure not far away.
Zhou Shiyan.
"Dad, stop for a moment."
"Ah? What's wrong?"
As he asked this question, Liu Changqing still pulled over and stopped.
There was no immediate answer, Liu Zhiyue just rolled down the window and shouted to the roadside.
"Zhou Shiyan!"
The girl who was panting and running stopped.
Turned his head and looked to the side.
Liu Zhiyue broke into her sight.
His breathing had not calmed down and he was panting heavily. It looked like he had run for some distance.
With his head slightly sticking out of the window, Liu Zhiyue shouted towards Zhou Shiyan.
"Hurry up and get in the car, you're going to be late for the exam!"
Zhou Shiyan put one hand on her waist, her body was slightly arched, and she kept breathing heavily. At this moment, her heart was beating extremely violently.
Without saying anything else, Zhou Shiyan took steps and walked over.
When Liu Zhiyue saw this, he sat up and reached out to open the rear door from the inside.
Zhou Shiyan walked to the car, glanced at Liu Zhiyue who sat back in the passenger seat, thought for a moment, and then got in.
After sitting on her seat, Zhou Shiyan closed the car door, and then she seemed to be slumped in the car, her face looking a little pale.
My breathing has not calmed down yet.
Liu Changqing saw the other party's face in the rearview mirror. After the car started, Liu Changqing asked.
"Are you going to run to school?"
After her breathing became slightly calmer, Zhou Shiyan nodded, answering Liu Changqing's question.
"That's really impressive. Your school has to be at least two or three kilometers away from your home. It looks like you woke up late today."
Liu Changqing said with some surprise.
There is absolutely no comparison between sprinting at full speed and moving forward at a constant speed.
Two or three kilometers doesn't seem too far, but if you sprint with all your strength, especially for a person with such a small body, it's completely understandable how pale his face is now.
"You can't just run away just because you want to save a taxi fare..."
"..."
Zhou Shiyan did not answer.
Looking in the rearview mirror, Liu Changqing didn't say much.
Soon, we drove to the school gate.
I pulled the handbrake and stopped temporarily at the door.
Liu Changqing got out of the car and ran to the breakfast place at the school gate to buy a bottle of milk. After paying, he trotted back to the car.
Zhou Shiyan and Liu Zhiyue have both gotten out of the car.
"There are still ten minutes left before we are allowed to enter the examination room. There is still enough time. Don't be too nervous."
After saying that, she handed the milk in her hand to Zhou Shiyan.
"Take this and drink it, your face hasn't calmed down yet."
"..."
Zhou Shiyan obviously did not expect Liu Changqing's move.
He raised his head and looked at Liu Zhiyue.
Somewhat dazed.
"Why are you still standing there, let's go on."
Looking at the stunned girl, Liu Changqing thrust the milk into her hand.
"It's a good idea to go in and take the exam. The time is coming quickly, so don't panic."
Liu Changqing's words came to my ears.
Zhou Shiyan lowered her head and looked at the milk she had just put into her hand.
I felt a little moved in my heart.
He raised his head and looked at Liu Changqing, his eyes seemed to be revealing something.
Those eyes are particularly like her mother's.
"Okay, drink it quickly."
Smiling, he stretched out his hand and patted the other person on the head. Today, Liu Changqing especially likes to pat children on the head.
Feeling the warmth of Liu Changqing's palm, Zhou Shiyan said nothing, but silently took out the straw and inserted it into the milk carton, put her mouth to it, and drank in small sips.
Those eyes drifted towards Liu Changqing from time to time.
As if noticing this gaze, Liu Changqing smiled what he thought was a gentle smile at her.
The interaction between the two surprised Liu Zhiyue who was standing aside.
I feel as if I am not my biological child.
"Why don't you get me a bottle of milk?"
He asked Liu Changqing doubtfully.
"Didn't you drink soy milk in the morning? What's the difference? If you drink too much, your body will easily absorb it and it will turn into fat."
"..."
Liu Zhiyue could not refute his father's answer.
After a while, Zhou Shiyan drank all the milk, trotted and threw the milk box into the trash can, and then ran to Liu Changqing.
Liu Changqing nodded and looked at the two children.
"Read your admission ticket clearly and don't go to the wrong examination room. After you finish the questions, you should check them again and again. If the questions are easy, you can't be complacent. If the questions are difficult, you should take them seriously and don't fall into the trap.
Among the traps designed by the teacher who set the question, there is also...don't hand in the paper in advance, you hear me!"
"heard it."
The two children said at the same time.
At the school gate, more and more candidates entered the school gate.
Seeing this, Liu Changqing didn't say anything more, and finally gave a few words of advice.
