Early the next morning, someone knocked on the door at Zhang Tan's house. When he opened it, he saw Xiaobai in pajamas. Her hair was messy, her eyes were not fully opened, she was rubbing with one hand, and there was sleep on her face.
Mark, barefoot, just got up and came over to make sure Boss Zhang was back.
There was a knock on the door, and the door opened. Zhang Tan, fully dressed, appeared behind the door and said with a smile: "Good morning, Xiaobai."
"Eh?" Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, and then shouted happily: "Boss Zhang! Are you coming back at this time?"
Before going to bed last night, she came over to check whether Boss Zhang was back. After knocking on the door for a long time but there was no response, she knew that Boss Zhang had not replied.
"Come in, I just made breakfast." Zhang Tan let Xiaobai in, but Xiaobai suddenly remembered that grandma was leaving today, and anxiously pulled him to grandma's room next door.
Zhang Tan put down the little slippers in his hands and followed Xiaobai to the next door. The door was open but not closed. Grandma was in the living room, making milk by the window. The morning sunshine came in and fell on her head and shoulders. She
Her silver hair seemed to be dyed with holy light.
Zhang Tan did not let Xiaobai pull him into the house. Instead, he stood at the door, knocked on the door and said, "Good morning, Teacher Jiang."
Teacher Jiang turned around to see him and asked in surprise: "Zhang Tan? When did you come back? Just now?"
Zhang Tan: "I arrived last night, around 11 o'clock. I saw that the lights in your room were already turned off, so I didn't come over."
“Come in and sit down, I’m preparing to make breakfast and we’ll eat together later.”
“Don’t be busy, I’ve already made it, I’ll go get it.”
Zhang Tan returned home and brought over the noodles, eggs, and milk. Teacher Jiang was supervising Xiaobai's brushing his teeth and washing his face.
“Eat breakfast quickly after brushing your teeth, and then drink the milk on the table. It’s hot.” Teacher Jiang said. She was making milk for Xiaobai just now.
“Grandma, drink.” Xiaobai spit out the foam in his mouth and said.
“This is for you to drink, so that you can grow taller.”
“Grandma can also grow taller.”
“Hanhan, you can grow taller by drinking it. Grandma can’t grow taller by drinking anything. It’s a waste.”
Xiaobai went back to the room to change clothes, and Teacher Jiang followed him in. Zhang Tan placed the bowls and chopsticks on the dining table, filled up the noodles, and waited for the two of them to come out. He took the opportunity to look around the living room and saw that it was very clean and tidy, and everything was placed.
They are neatly arranged, with two oranges placed side by side on the small coffee table, and a rag doll, a piglet and a little monkey on the sofa, also in pairs. There are green plants on the windowsill, which are full of vitality.
Xiaobai came out holding his own watermelon head, and muttered: "Why don't I want watermelon head? Watermelon head is rich and loves me. I only want watermelon head."
“You can keep it if you want, but children have many other hairstyles. You are so cute, and you will be just as cute if you change your hairstyle.” Teacher Jiang said.
When she was combing Xiaobai's hair just now, she asked whether she wanted to change her hairstyle. She had always had watermelon hair and tried something else. But Xiaobai was dissatisfied.
The watermelon head was cut by Xiaobai's aunt, Malanhua, in order to make it easier to comb her hair. Unexpectedly, over time, Xiaobai liked it, got used to it, and was unwilling to change it.
Before Xiaobai left with Ma Lanhua, Teacher Jiang would comb her hair into beautiful braids, but apparently the child did not remember this. She has been a Watermelon Toutou since she was sensible, and the Watermelon Toutou grew up with her.
Xiaobai was still mumbling dissatisfaction when she got to the table. She wanted to shave off her watermelon head, which was like taking away her head. Teacher Jiang had to promise not to touch her watermelon head.
Zhang Tan interjected: "Xiaobai, didn't you wear pigtails before? Do you want me to tie two pigtails for you later?"
Xiao Bai thought about the popularity of little red horses wearing pigtails a while ago, laughed and said yes.
Zhang Tan smiled and said: "Then eat Slim first and drink the milk later. Put some food in your stomach before drinking, so that it can be better absorbed."
“Oh.” Xiaobai said, “Liuliu said the same thing.”
“Liuliu knows a lot.”
“She knows everything about food.”
“Haha, this is something to drink.”
“She also knows how to drink.”
“Is this a compliment?”
“Hoo ho ho~ Boss Zhang, please persuade my grandma not to leave. She is leaving, and I don’t even know how to yell at her.”
“You eat noodles first.” Zhang Tan said and asked Teacher Jiang: “Why are you leaving? You have only lived here for a few days.”
Teacher Jiang knew that Xiaobai had already told Zhang Tan, so he said directly: "I have lived here for more than ten days, and it's almost time to go back. I originally came over to take a look and leave. I feel relieved that Xiaobai is here, and the environment is very good.
, you are also very good to her, I have nothing to worry about. It just so happens that Dunzi’s mother and Dunzi are going back, and we will be together."
Zhang Tan said: "Dunzi's mother still has fields to take care of at home. Your family doesn't have these, so don't be busy going back."
Xiaobai said crisply: "Dunzi's family still has two dogs to take care of."
“Oh, yes, there are still two pigs to take care of. Don’t lose weight after so many days. But Teacher Jiang, you don’t have so many things at home. Just tell me, are you comfortable living here?”
Teacher Jiang nodded and said it was a good stay.
Xiaobai quickly answered: "That's right."
Zhang Tan said: "Very well, let's stay a few more days. There's nothing wrong at home and it's comfortable here. Stay a little longer and keep company with Xiaobai. Aunt Xiaobai hasn't left yet. What's your hurry?"
Xiaobai then said: "Boss Zhang's nagging enemy."
Teacher Jiang: “I happened to be with Dunzi’s mother, and we took care of each other on the way.”
Zhang Tan: “The flight only took three or four hours, and we arrived just after a nap, so we had no chance to take care of each other.”
Xiao Bai then said: "Yes, Boss Zhang is right, we all sleep in the office while sitting on the desk, and we don't live anywhere."
Teacher Jiang smiled and teased her: "How come you know everything?"
小白: "Hey, hey, hey~ I've grown up, I'm just not verbose, actually I know a lot, hey, hey, am I proud?"
Zhang Tan echoed: "Xiaobai has really grown up a lot in the past year or so. At this age, children almost look the same every day and are in a stage of constant growth and change, especially in the fast-paced metropolis of Pujiang.
At the intersection of various information, the changes in children will be more obvious. Teacher Jiang, don’t you want to participate in Xiaobai’s growth? She only has you as her grandmother, and you are her closest relative. Your biggest wish should be to watch her.
Grow up healthy and stay."
Xiaobai didn't interrupt this time, she was confused.
Teacher Jiang hesitated: "She has enough with you."
Zhang Tan: "As you can see, I'm busy with work, and I'm afraid I will be even busier in the future. Even if I try to squeeze out time, I can't be with Xiaobai all the time. Ma Lanhua and Bai Jianping also have their own things. I think you
He is the most suitable person. If you go back, we will worry about you. If you stay here, we will take care of each other. Xiaobai and I will take care of you in your old age. You will treat this place as your home and we are a family."
Xiaobai asked curiously: "Then who am I?"
Zhang Tan: “You are my baby.”
Xiaobai thought about it for a moment and was furious. Boss Zhang took advantage of her! He was enough to be her eldest brother, but he wanted to be her old man!
…
After breakfast, Zhang Tan accompanied Teacher Jiang and Xiaobai to the place where Dunzi's family lived to say goodbye to Dunzi and his mother.
