Chapter 1625 Destination: Municipal Party Committee Courtyard
After the Tan sisters finished getting the ingredients for making dumplings, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.
"Hurry up and go to bed~"
Tan Jin'er looked at the time and said with some urgency, calling to Xi'er who was still working hard. Seeing that she refused to stop, she caught her and took her to the sink, washed her little hands covered with rice flour, and took her out of the kitchen...
…
"Aiya, aiya~~Sister, please don't catch me, I'll go by myself——"
Xi'er's little hand was caught by Tan Jin'er, and without giving the little sister any chance to escape, she was taken directly out of the kitchen and closed the kitchen door.
Seeing that the door was closed, Xi'er gave up the idea of sneaking back and asked unwillingly: "Sister, will Xiaotuanzi appear tomorrow?"
"Yes, it will be fine after fermentation." Tan Jin'er said, "Come on, go back to the bedroom. Aren't you sleepy?"
Xi'er jumped up and said energetically: "Why are you sleepy? I'm energetic, hiahia~~"
Tan Jiner smiled and said: "Are you so excited that you can't sleep when you think about meeting Xiaobai tomorrow?"
"Yes, sister, how did you know?"
Xi'er's little hand was still held by Tan Jin'er, who took her to the bedroom, closed the door, and then let her go.
Xi'er immediately walked around in the bedroom. Tan Jin'er found her pajamas and threw them on the bed, asking her to quickly change into pajamas and then go to bed.
"Sister, aren't you going out? Will I be shy?" Xi'er asked.
Tan Jin'er is funny, are you shy and still need to ask me?
"I'm my sister, I don't need to go out, just change quickly."
"Okay~"
Xi'er immediately took off her clothes and put on her pajamas.
Tan Jin'er took the opportunity to teach: "I'm going to see Xiaobai tomorrow. When you go to bed at night, except for Xiaobai and Xiaobai's grandma, you can't take off your clothes in front of others. Do you remember?"
"Why?" Xi'er put on her clothes and was buttoning them.
"Because you are girls, girls can only change clothes in front of girls, not in front of others."
"I remember~"
"Go to bed quickly."
"Sister, can I go see the dumplings in the kitchen again?"
"Can't~"
"I'm just going to take a look."
With that said, the little sister ran away and slipped out of the bedroom.
When Tan Jin'er saw it, he chased her out, caught Xi'er at the kitchen door, grabbed her back, entered the bedroom, and locked the door.
"Don't be naughty." Tan Jin'er said.
"Oh~"
Xi'er, who had failed to escape, became honest this time. She took the initiative to climb onto the bed and said with a smile: "hiahia, sister, why are you so powerful? I run so fast and you can catch me."
"Stop flattering me, I'm turning off the light."
"If you turn off the light, I won't be able to see anything."
"It's time to go to bed, what else do you want to watch?"
"I want to see the stars and the moon."
"sleep."
"I miss my mother~"
Tan Jin'er didn't speak anymore, but went to bed, held Xi'er in her arms, coaxed her, and told her stories. Gradually, the restless child calmed down until she fell asleep.
In the early morning, Huangjia Village is full of life, with chickens crowing and dogs barking, footsteps in the alley, and occasionally the sound of voices coming from afar.
"Sister - the little dumpling has grown~ it's chubby and so cute~"
"Really? Don't poke it with your fingers~"
"Oh~"
Even though she said that, Xi'er still couldn't help it. She stood on the stool, stretched out her fingers, and gently poked the little dumplings one by one. They were all bouncing around, so cute.
“hiahiahia~~~”
The little sisters of the Tan family packed the dumplings into three portions. Tan Jin'er packed one of them, which was also the largest portion, and told Xi'er: "This is for Xiaobai's grandma's house."
Then, he handed another copy to Xi'er who was following him: "This is for Aunt Ma's house. Go quickly and you can deliver it to me."
"Okay~"
Xi'er took the dumplings, clicked, changed into a pony, and ran to deliver the dumplings.
Malanhua and Bai Jianping were having breakfast. Xi'er looked over and didn't dare to go in. She put the dumplings at the door, yelled and ran away.
“Xi’er—come and have breakfast~~~~”
Ma Lanhua's voice came from behind, and Xi'er not only did not stop, but also accelerated her pace further.
When she returned home, she was in shock.
"I was almost caught by Aunt Ma. I'm so dangerous~hiahia~ My pony is so fast."
Tan Jiner is funny.
"Is Aunt Ma's breakfast so scary?"
Xi'er nodded repeatedly, and then told Tan Jin'er a piece of news, "Uncle Bai has panda eyes, hiahia, I saw it."
Bai Jianping worked overtime on the set until midnight last night, and got up so early this morning. It's normal to have a pair of panda eyes.
Tan Jin'er had to go to work. After getting ready, he took Xi'er out.
"I told you not to wear a helmet, not to wear a helmet, but you just didn't listen."
Tan Jin'er complained helplessly while walking.
But Xi'er muttered and didn't respond, stubbornly insisting on wearing the pink helmet.
How can you not take safety precautions when you go out?
Not only did she have to wear it herself, but she also repeatedly asked her sister to wear it too.
But Tan Jin'er didn't have the nerve to wear it.
Xi'er just stubbornly wore a pink helmet, carried a small schoolbag, and followed Tan Jin'er's feet outside.
It's impossible for her to take it off.
Her small schoolbag contains her daily necessities, and there is also a mini suitcase containing a change of clothes, which is dragged by Tan Jiner.
The two of them went out and walked in the alley. Xi'er was still mumbling something, but Tan Jin'er couldn't hear clearly.
They walked through Huangjia Village and passed the entrance of Wan Xiaohu's barber shop, which was not open yet.
Xi'er hesitantly asked Tan Jin'er if she wanted to shout twice to tell Wan Xiaohu to get up.
Tan Jin'er was speechless.
They passed the entrance of Little Red Horse Academy again.
Xi'er stood outside the iron gate and looked inside. It was lonely and no one was there, and the atmosphere was full of tranquility.
"Li Weibao didn't get up either~~"
"Xi'er, hurry up and follow us. We have to take the subway. There will be a lot of people if we are late."
Tan Jin'er shouted, asking Xi'er to follow quickly.
Xi'er turned around and caught up with her in small steps.
They finally walked onto West Chang'an Street and walked under the yellow maple trees on the roadside. Although it was summer, there were still many maple leaves falling on the ground. Xi'er jumped up and down on the fallen leaves.
Suddenly, a car slowly stopped on the side of the road, the window rolled down, and a well-dressed woman appeared.
"Jin'er, where are you going?"
Tan Jin'er looked closely and saw that it was Li Huilin.
"Sister Li~"
She approached the car, a little surprised to meet Li Huilin here.
"Are you taking Xi'er to school?" Li Huilin asked.
Tan Jin'er said: "It's summer vacation. Xi'er doesn't have to go to school. We'll send her to stay with relatives for a few days."
Li Huilin asked in surprise: "Do you have any relatives in Pujiang?"
The Tan Jin'er she knew probably had no relatives in Pujiang.
Tan Jin'er didn't know what to say, so let's just say they were relatives.
"Where are our distant relatives?"
"Where is it? I happen to be fine, so I'll take you there."
"No, no, no, Sister Li, just go about your business."
Li Huilin enthusiastically asked them to get in the car.
"It's the morning rush hour on the subway. If you take Xi'er on the subway, what should you do if the child gets crushed?"
Xi'er jumped out and said proudly: "Look, I'm wearing my pink helmet. I'm not afraid of being squeezed. It won't break."
Li Huilin couldn't help laughing when she saw how cute she was wearing a helmet when walking.
What Li Huilin said made sense, and since the kindness was hard to resist, Tan Jin'er took Xi'er into the car.
In fact, Tan Jin'er was avoiding Li Huilin a little. She was afraid that Li Huilin would persuade her to change jobs together again.
She is thin-skinned and doesn't like rejecting people, so she is quite embarrassed.
"Where are you going?" Li Huilin asked.
"I'll send you the location."
Tan Jin'er took out her mobile phone and sent Li Huilin a location.
Li Huilin immediately turned on the car navigation and listened to the sound in the car:
"The destination is the Municipal Party Committee Compound. The journey is estimated to take 30 minutes."
Li Huilin was stunned for a moment, thinking she heard wrongly. She looked at the car's display screen and saw that it indeed showed that the destination was the Municipal Party Committee Compound.
She looked at Tan Jin'er in surprise and said, "I must have sent the wrong address."
Tan Jin'er was supervising Xi'er, who was sitting in the back seat, to fasten her seat belt. She took the time to respond: "That's right, it's the municipal party committee compound."
"Okay~"
Li Huilin drove, guessing that Tan Jin'er was going to be near the Municipal Party Committee Courtyard, but the Municipal Party Committee Courtyard was the iconic address there, making navigation easier.
