Lao Niu selected ten stories from the stories he had accumulated over decades, compiled them into a collection of stories, mailed them to the publisher with great anticipation, and then began to wait anxiously.
Half a lifetime of dreams and expectations seems to be coming true.
Lao Niu's heart is like a hot pot, adding fuel to the fire. He spends every day full of expectation and anxiety.
However, five days passed and there was still no news from the publisher.
Lao Niu originally wanted to be more reserved and steady, so he never called to communicate. At this time, he finally couldn't help it and called the editor who had contacted him before.
When the call was connected, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked about the status of the novel. The other party said that it was reviewing it and asked him to wait patiently.
Now that the other party had said so, Lao Niu put his heart back in his stomach and continued to wait.
On this day, Tan Jin'er was going to another place for training for two days, which happened to be the weekend.
If it is not a weekend, the company does not arrange training.
After Tan Jin'er left, Tan Xi'er's child naturally stayed at her godfather's place. She spent every day at the Little Red Horse hiahiahia, and she was so happy.
"I can roll, Xiaobai." Xi'er said.
At night, Xiaobai and Xi'er were getting ready to go to bed. Xi'er didn't plan to sleep in her own bedroom, but stayed in Xiaobai's room, planning to sleep with Xiaobai.
At this moment, Xi'er took advantage of Zhang Tan to take a bath, showing off to Xiaobai that she could roll.
In the kindergarten physical education class not long ago, she did well in both front and back rolls. Isn't that proud of her? She volunteered to teach Xiaobai.
"Roll over and show me." Xiaobai said. She was wearing a set of white cartoon pajamas, which were the same style as Xi'er's blue one.
"Look."
Xi'er rolled confidently from the end of the bed, rolling like a donkey and turning over nimbly.
"Look, I'm awesome, hiahiahia~"
Xi'er was extremely proud.
Xiaobai said that I can do it too. He took a running approach and also did a forward roll. After getting up, he said: "Look, I am also very good."
If this doesn't work, novices can do it, so it doesn't count as a stunt. If you don't show off successfully, you can't just let it go.
So Xi'er proudly announced: "Xiaobai, Xiaobai, I can still stand on my head, look."
After saying that, she hummed and stood on her head against the wall, with her head down and her feet up, leaning against the wall.
After holding on for a few seconds, he turned it down and said, "hiahia, I'm awesome."
Xiaobai was dissatisfied and said: "I can do it too, this is my strength."
As she said that, like Xi'er, she turned over and stood handstand against the wall. She held on for a few seconds, then turned down and looked at Xi'er laughing.
Xi'er laughed awkwardly a few times, snorted and said, "Xi'er should sleep~"
She hid her little body under the quilt, lying on her side with her back to Xiao Bai.
Behind her, Xiaobai didn't come over or talk to her. Xi'er pricked up her ears and waited. Just when she was about to take the initiative to turn over and look for Xiaobai, Xiaobai squirmed over like a caterpillar.
"Xiwa, I'm Mao Maoqiong, I'm here to catch you~" Xiaobai said.
Although Xi'er's back was turned to her, she laughed, looked back at Xiao Bai, screamed and got into bed.
Maomao chased after her and got into the bed. It was as if two groundhogs had entered the bed, rolling around in the waves and screaming everywhere.
Suddenly, the quilt was lifted. The two children who were playing together looked above their heads in surprise. The quilt flew up. When they looked again, it turned out that it was Old Man Zhang who did it.
"What are you doing? I thought you were digging holes." Zhang Tan said.
"hiahiahiahia, godfather, you are so funny~hiahia~" Xi'er was inexplicably hit in the laughter hole and couldn't stop laughing.
Suddenly, Zhang Tan said: "Xi'er, your hair is a bit long."
Xiaobai immediately said: "Take the happy baby to Grandpa Niu's for a haircut."
Xi'er immediately put her head in her hands to protect her hair. Her hair was long, black, straight, and very beautiful.
"I don't want Grandpa Niu to give me a godfather-like haircut. It's so ugly."
Zhang Tan directly touched the heart.
He looked at himself in the mirror and found that he didn't look ugly at all.
Although Xiwa's little friend was unwilling, Zhang Tan and Xiaobai still took her to Lao Niu Barber Shop the next day.
Xiaobai, a melon boy, dragged her there.
When Xi'er came to the store, she saw Wan Xiaohu and chatted with Wan Xiaohu, trying to get through.
"Don't be ridiculous, Xi'er, come here and get a haircut." Xiaobai interrupted them and called Xi'er to the barber chair.
Although Xi'er is unwilling, her character determines that she will not run away, and she does not like to reject others.
She sat on the barber chair, and Lao Niu put a bib around her neck and asked Zhang Tan what kind of haircut she wanted.
Xi'er immediately looked through the mirror and stared at her godfather closely, so afraid that her godfather would tell her to cut her hair bald.
"The weather is starting to get hotter, and if you have too much hair, you will easily sweat and develop prickly heat, so it's better to get a bald head," Zhang Tan said.
When Xiaobai heard this, the people who were eating melons were shocked. They stared at her old man with wide eyes, thinking that he was so evil.
Xi'er, on the other hand, held her head tightly with both hands to protect her long hair. Her eyes were wide open and she was about to cry.
When Zhang Tan got his hair cut, Xiwawa said that he had a bald head and it looked ugly.
The petty godfather took revenge one by one.
Zhang Tan teased Xi'er and was about to comfort her when a few people came in from outside the shop. Lao Niu thought they were barbers, took one look at them and subconsciously asked them to sit down first.
There were three men in total. One was older and looked to be in his forties. He was well dressed and had a good temperament. He must have lived a comfortable and well-maintained life.
The other two seemed to be his followers, both in their thirties.
Among them, the man in his thirties suddenly smiled and said to Lao Niu: "Hello, Teacher Niu."
Lao Niu just picked up the electric clipper and was stunned when he heard the sound. He looked at the speaker in surprise. The other person's voice was very familiar to him. He was clearly the editor Liu who contacted him from the publishing house!
While the two parties were stunned, little child Tan Xier kept her little head motionless and tried her best to turn her eyes upward, staring at the electric clipper hanging above her head. When she saw that the electric clipper was motionless, she felt relieved and quietly lifted her little hand from the hairdresser.
She stretched out her bib and gently pushed the electric clipper to keep it farther away from her head.
Lao Niu sensed Xi'er's little movement, looked down at her, and asked Editor Liu: "Is this about publishing?"
He felt anxious and happy at the same time. The other party came to his store and there was probably something to talk about.
At the same time, Lao Niu also recognized the man next to him. He had been to his shop a few days ago, looked around, and finally left quietly without cutting his hair.
Lao Niu remembered it very clearly and left an impression.
He was confused, why did these two people get together, and what were they doing?
At this time, he saw another man who looked like a boss. He looked at Xiaobai first, then Xi'er, and then his eyes fell on Wan Xiaohu!
I'll make up another chapter tomorrow, it's too late.
