It's noon now, when the pancake and fruit shop's business is at its best. The addition of Xiaobai, Dudu and Xi'er immediately made the busyness of the shop a little lighter.
Although Xiaobai wanted to escape, he couldn't.
Even if it slips away, it can only slip away for a while, not forever.
There is another saying that if you can escape the monk, you cannot escape the temple.
Based on her understanding of her aunt, her aunt will definitely go to Little Red Pony Academy to capture her.
Therefore, she might as well do the work honestly. Anyway, she is familiar with this work and has done it many times before.
With the addition of these three powerful forces, Malanhua can finish the meal first.
Xiaobai came over and said, "Auntie, let me heat up the rice for you before you eat it."
Malanhua glanced at her: "Don't be lazy, go to work."
"I'm doing this for you."
"I understand."
Malanhua doesn't mind if the rice is cold. She's not that delicate. She can eat it, so what's the point?
In fact, Malanhua didn't really let them work in the store all afternoon. After the busy period at noon, she released these three and gave each of them a small bag containing a box.
Bear drink, a set of small pancakes and a pack of bear biscuits.
It's their reward.
"Thank you, auntie~" Xiaobai said, her auntie is a sharp-tongued person, but she is actually a very good person.
"Thank you, aunt~"
"Thank you, aunt~"
Xi'er and Dudu also expressed their thanks, and Malanhua waved her hand, telling her to go back quickly, and told them not to play on the road.
"Don't be led into the ditch by Xiaobai."
Xiaobai's face turned dark when he heard this.
"Auntie, come to the house to eat fenugreek at night, grandma said."
"Got it."
"Don't forget it."
"I know, I know, if you don't want to leave, just stay and continue working."
Xiaobai left immediately.
When the three of them passed by the barber shop, they sat in the shop and played with Wan Xiaohu... no, they played with the big orange cat and the little orange cat for a while, watching the cows and giving people haircuts.
Lao Niu also specially helped Dudu tidy up the bangs on her forehead. The child used scissors to cut her bangs at home and messed them up. Lao Niu couldn't stand it, so he trimmed them for her. It looked much more comfortable.
After leaving the barber shop, the three of them returned to the academy.
Xiaobai didn't know that Qin Huifang knew about her call to Hu Yi.
Women, even if they are from the Municipal Party Committee compound, they are just women from the Municipal Party Committee compound. They like to chat and gossip together.
Hu Yi mentioned that Xiaobai called her to wish her well in his early years and praised Xiaobai for being so sensible.
Qin Huifang thought about it and realized that she hadn't even received a New Year's call from Xiaobai. This was not good. She immediately called Zhang Tan and asked him to send Xiaobai to stay for a few days as the winter vacation came.
So Zhang Tan immediately called Xiaobai and asked Xiaobai to tidy up and stay there tonight.
At the same time, Wang Xiaoyu will also go.
Wang Xiaoyu originally didn't want to go, but it was a mission that he couldn't escape. Now that Xiaobai was going too, he seized the opportunity and hurriedly followed him, completing the mission and having a good New Year.
Before leaving, Xiaobai repeatedly told Xi'er to take good care of herself and not to follow others foolishly, what to do if she was abducted.
Xi'er was reluctant to leave, but Dudu invited her to stay at Xiao Zhao's house for a few days and have fun.
The two can also discuss the future planning and design issues of Little Red Horse.
Upon hearing this, Xi'er readily agreed.
Xiaobai was relieved, with Dudu as his bodyguard, Xiwawa could not suffer any loss.
She got into the old man's car, said goodbye to all the children and animals in the school, and set off.
As soon as she left, Liuliu rushed out of the classroom, but not to save Xiaobai, but to ask Dudu wailingly if she could stay there for a few days.
She couldn't swallow the jealousy. Her little sister didn't invite her to stay at home, but invited Xi'er. This was too jealous.
On the way there, while driving, Zhang Tan asked Xiaobai if he had called everyone during the day to wish them a happy new year.
"Eh? You know that?"
"I heard that."
"Which pot did you hear that from?"
"Your grandma."
Only then did Xiaobai realize that her call to Aunt Hu to say goodbye to her was known to her.
"She praised you for being so sensible." Zhang Tan said.
"Hoohoho~"
The car soon drove into the municipal party committee compound. It was already past seven o'clock in the evening. The street lights were on in the compound. There were very few people going out. The temperature was low at night and everyone preferred to stay at home. And this time was just right.
It’s time to eat, watch TV, and chat as a family.
However, there was not a single person in the compound. Xiaobai saw someone passing by the car window and ran over.
"Hey, is that the Yangtze River?"
Xiao Bai felt that the person who had just flashed past was Liu Changjiang, but he didn't see clearly. The car was moving and the man was running too.
Zhang Tan looked in the rearview mirror and couldn't see the person clearly. He could only see a figure running into the woods on the roadside.
It's probably the only people like Liu Changjiang who came out in this cold weather.
"I didn't see it clearly, but it doesn't matter. They will know you are here tomorrow and will come to find you." Zhang Tan said, but he saw Xiaobai in the back row talking to his smart children's phone watch.
"Hello? Hey, is this the Yangtze River? Were you running outside just now? I seem to have seen you! Yes? Where are you running? I'm here to stay at my grandma's house for two days. You want to come and play with me?
No? Then come quickly, I'll wait for you."
After hanging up the phone, Xiaobai told Old Man Zhang that that was Liu Changjiang just now, and Liu Changjiang would come to play with her soon.
As he spoke, he started singing.
"Yangtze River ~ Great Wall - eel, Yellow River -"
Zhang Tan glanced at the child. It seemed that she was no longer as resistant to coming to the municipal party committee compound as before, simply because she had a group of good friends to play with here.
The car drove to the door of Qin Huifang's house. There were several people standing under the lanterns at the door, looking forward to it. When they saw the car appearing, they took a few steps forward one by one.
Zhang Tan in the car immediately said to Xiaobai in the back seat: "Your uncle and grandma are picking you up outside. Get out of the car quickly and remember to say hello."
"I'm okay~"
Xiaobai poked his head out from between the seats in the back row, looked forward, and saw the grandpa, grandma, and a child.
"It's Wang Xiaoyu."
The car door opened automatically and Xiaobai got out of the car with her bag. Qin Huifang was already standing by and quickly reached out to help her.
"Slow down, slow down, it's dark, don't fall."
Xiaobai smiled at her and jumped out of the car. Qin Huifang was so frightened that she quickly grabbed her.
"Hello, grandma~"
"Okay, it's winter vacation and I should have come here to play."
"Wish you a happy birthday."
"Haha, okay, thank you."
Qin Huifang originally wanted to say that she would also like to wish you a happy life, but she thought that this seemed a little bad, so she held back.
Xiaobai looked to the side, and saw Grandpa Zhang standing there, with a smile on his usually serious face, but he didn't come over.
Waiting for Xiaobai to take the initiative to say hello, this is Mr. Zhang's modesty.
As soon as Xiaobai was about to go over, Wang Xiaoyu took her away enthusiastically, saying that he wanted to show her a treasure, without noticing his grandfather's face at all.
Maybe, his grandpa will tell him a bedtime story at night.
