When Baoer woke up from her nap, she opened her eyes and saw Zuo Yi sitting by the bed.
"Um."
Zuo Yi put the laptop he was playing on aside and asked with a smile: "Baby, you're awake."
The little girl yawned lazily and stretched out her hands to Zuo Yi: "Daddy, give me a hug."
Zuo Yi smiled and picked her up, then sat her on the edge of the bed and asked, "Where do you want to play this afternoon?"
During this period, Zuo Yi went to the martial arts hall to coach Sun Qiang and Wang Jiaojiao in the morning, and stayed with Bao'er at home in the afternoon. But in the next few days, a large number of new students will come, and I'm afraid it won't be so leisurely.
So cherish the time in front of you.
"Um…"
The little girl tilted her head and thought hard, then said, "Dad, I also want to pick wild vegetables."
Picking wild vegetables is fun, and the picked wild vegetables are also delicious.
Then do it again.
"Can."
Zuo Yi stretched out his hand and tapped her little nose and said, "Let's go pick wild vegetables and touch some snails, what do you agree?"
"Touch the snail?"
Baoer was pleasantly surprised: "Are they the snails in the river? I have seen them in books."
"almost."
Zuo Yi explained: "We are touching the ones that grow in the creek."
Baoer clapped his hands: "Okay, okay."
Tyke crawled out from under the bed and barked, and Pippi flew around shouting: "Touch the snails, touch the snails!"
Every time we go out to play, these two guys are the most excited.
So Zuo Yi took Bao'er, Taike and Pippi, as well as a bamboo basket, a small bucket and a straw hat.
These items are all left over from the past. Although they have a long history, they are still usable.
The last time Zuo Yi cleaned up the basement, he cleared out a lot of rubbish, but there were also many things that were preserved.
Even if the things left behind are not valuable.
Because these things carry countless beautiful memories of the past.
Now he wants to share it with Bao'er.
It's still the same wilderness path, still the same gurgling stream.
Zuo Yi and the little girl first collected a basket of fresh wild amaranth. Then he rolled up his trousers, took off his shoes, and carried a small bucket into the cool stream.
The afternoon sun shines on the stream, causing thousands of golden scales to appear, winding down like an overflowing golden ribbon.
Zuo Yi bent down and reached into the water. While breaking the golden scales, he turned to look at the little girl.
Bao'er didn't dare to go into the water. She was squatting by the stream with Tyke, watching her father touch the snails with wide eyes and curiosity.
She wore an embroidered straw hat.
This is the straw hat Zuo Qingyun once used.
Back then, Zuo Qingyun was squatting by the stream wearing a straw hat and rolling up her skirt, smiling as she watched Zuo Yi tossing in the stream.
Time flies, the years are gone, and the past is only left to be recalled!
Staring at Bao'er's innocent face, Zuo Yi smiled slightly and started groping for the rocks in the water with his hands.
Crack, crackle!
He took out each stream snail and threw it into the small bucket, making a crisp sound when it hit the bottom of the bucket.
Bao'er couldn't help but stretched his neck and asked: "Dad, have you caught a lot of snails?"
"There's no rush."
Zuo Yi smiled and said, "Let dad catch more and fry them for you tonight."
The stream snails he touched were different from ordinary snails. Their conical shells were black and they only grew in clean and pollution-free mountain streams. They did not have any earthy smell and the taste was much stronger than ordinary snails.
When Zuo Yi was a child, he found river snails in this stream, and Zuo Qingyun took them home and fried them with perilla for him to eat.
He still can't forget that taste!
There is no need to buy perilla, it grows nearby, and just collecting a few handfuls is enough.
Why Zuo Yi would rather die poor than sell his land is not only because this is the resting place of Zuo Qingyun, but also because it holds too many memories of him and his mother.
Now I want to add the one with the little girl.
Zuo Yi hopes that when Bao'er grows up in the future, he can come back here at any time and experience the happiness and happiness at this time again!
"Let's see."
Because they hadn't caught them for a long time, there were a lot of snails in this creek. Zuo Yi caught a lot of them in a short time and handed the small bucket to Bao'er to see what was fresh.
"Wow!"
The little girl held the bucket with both hands and looked at the snails covering the bottom of the bucket. She couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Dad is so awesome!"
Woof!
Tyke came over with his buttocks up, his front paws on the mouth of the bucket, stretched his head and looked inside: Wang wanted to see too.
But it was quickly disappointed: Oh, what’s so good about this, there’s no steak!
Zuo Yi continued to touch, and suddenly his expression changed.
Along with the sound of water, he fished out a slender stream fish and threw it into the bucket.
"Oh!"
Bao'er was startled and almost dropped the bucket.
"ah!"
The next moment, she shouted: "Dad, you caught a fish!"
The creek fish flopped desperately in the bucket.
Bao'er was surprised and happy at first, but soon her expression became less happy and she said, "Dad, this fish looks so pitiful, let's let it go."
Zuo Yi smiled and said: "Okay, then you can let it go."
"Um!"
The little girl immediately put her hands into the bucket, trying to catch the creek fish and release it.
But how could she catch a lively fish?
Fortunately, Bao'er was very smart. After several failed attempts, she slowly lowered the bucket so that the mouth of the bucket faced the stream.
In this way, the stream fish in the bucket continued to flop a few times, and then successfully jumped into the water.
Run away quickly.
"Go ahead, go ahead."
Baoer put up the bucket again and said with a smile: "Yuer, Yuer, don't be caught by dad again."
Zuo Yi: "..."
Well, let’s continue touching the snails!
Luosi: I have something I don’t know whether to say or not.
Zuo Yi stopped after he had touched almost half a bucket, which was enough for a plate of dinner.
Back on the shore, he suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the old house.
His brows furrowed slightly.
Zuo Yi has just received a spiritual message from the gargoyle, and an uninvited guest is coming to visit!
The Zuo family's old house is located in Longtoudi outside Linjiang Town. It is in a very remote location and rarely has visitors. Those who occasionally run by here are often curious tourists.
The gargoyle's intelligence is very high, and it is also integrated with the spiritual seeds given by him, so it is unlikely to make false alarms.
After thinking for a moment, he said to Bao'er: "Baby, let's go home."
Bao'er had no objection: "Okay."
Carrying the bucket and bamboo basket, Zuo Yi returned home with Bao'er.
As soon as he entered the villa through the back door, he heard a knock on the door from the front yard.
Zuo Yi put the things in the kitchen and said to Bao'er: "You can play by yourself. Dad will go out and see who is coming."
Let's see who the uninvited guest is.
Bao'er is sensible: "Then Artai and I will go upstairs to play."
Zuo Yi nodded: "Go."
He walked from the living room to the front yard and opened the yard door.
I saw a young woman standing in front of the door. She looked like she was in her early twenties. She had a pretty face and a petite figure. She looked quite innocent with a student haircut, which made people very fond of her at first sight.
There was a silver-gray coupe parked on the side of the road, and a tall, thin man was leaning in front of the car door. He was chewing gum and looked carefree, with a hint of arrogance on his handsome face.
Zuo Yi didn't know anyone and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Seeing Zuo Yi, the innocent woman suddenly showed a sweet smile: "Hello, are you Mr. Zuo Yi Zuo?"
Zuo Yi nodded: "I am Zuo Yi, who are you?"
The innocent woman introduced herself: "Hello, Mr. Zuo, I am Qin Qin, the chief secretary of the Super Large City Comprehensive Administration Bureau of Jiangnan Province. This is my business card."
"Super Large City Comprehensive Management Bureau?"
Zuo Yi was a little confused when he heard the name: "Is it the Urban Management Bureau?"
He took the business card from the other party, with the name of the company clearly printed on it.
"No."
Qin Qin smiled and said: "It's the Super Management Bureau. We have another internal name, called the Super Management Bureau!"
"I see."
Zuo Yi suddenly realized, turned sideways and said, "Then come in and talk."
Qin Qin stepped over the threshold and asked curiously: "Mr. Zuo, have you heard of our Super Management Bureau before?"
Seeing that Zuo Yi didn't look surprised at all, she felt very surprised.
"No."
Zuo Yi shook his head and said, "But now I know."
Zuo Yi knew very well that the other party must have come here because of what happened last night - isn't Cheng Yuan an extraordinary person?
Supervision Bureau? Interesting!
----------
The second update is sent.
PS: After reading some chapters of this book today, I was surprised to find that many previous readers had questions about the protagonist’s mobile phone number and thought it was a bug. I have to explain here that the protagonist came back with a replacement mobile phone card and the number.
Of course it's still the original one. Why hasn't the account been cancelled? That's because as long as the account has enough balance, it won't be cancelled. The protagonist is a wealthy young man who often travels. He hasn't used it for three years and only has a monthly fee deducted.
Can't you afford to deduct it? I thought this was common sense, but I didn't expect so many people to misunderstand it, so I had to add an explanation in Chapter 4. Sorry.
