While Zhang Tan took Xiaobai to buy gifts for his uncle's family, he also bought several new winter clothes for Xiaobai.
Her winter clothes are still from last year. Zhang Tan bought them for her last year, but a year has passed. The child has grown up by one year, is stronger and taller, and her clothes, pants, socks, and shoes are all bigger.
, I can barely wear it, but it doesn’t fit.
Children's clothes change quickly. For this reason, Malanhua often complained, saying that Xiaobai, a melon, grew up too fast and could not afford to buy clothes. She hoped that she would grow up slowly and it would be best to stay small.
In the evening, Zhang Tan sent Xiaobai back to her uncle's house, carrying large and small bags. He happened to meet the Tan sisters who were returning from shopping in the alley downstairs. Xi'er enthusiastically helped, and Xiaobai carried the bags.
She climbed the stairs wearing new clothes and new shoes, and occasionally glanced at the clothes in the bag, curious and excited, as if she also had new clothes.
"Sister, let me help Xiaobai deliver the clothes to her home."
When they arrived in the corridor, Xi'er did not go to Xiaobai's house immediately. Instead, she stood at the stairs and asked Tan Jin'er, who was two steps behind.
"Go ahead."
Xi'er immediately caught up with Xiaobai, carrying the bag with both hands, and helped her deliver the clothes to her home. She asked Xiaobai where she put them. After putting them down, she was reluctant to leave. She stood aside with a silly smile, wanting to see what the new clothes in the bag looked like.
of.
But Tan Jin'er followed closely and brought Xi'er away with the fresh fruits she bought.
"Sister, Xiaobai has a lot of new clothes, I haven't looked at them yet." Back in the corridor, Xi'er said to Tan Jin'er reluctantly.
Tan Jin'er led her home, squatted in front of her, and arranged her small clothes.
The small clothes were clean and tidy, and relatively new, but they were already a bit ill-fitting and felt tight on the body.
Tan Jin'er said: "Xi'er has grown up. Look at your sleeves, are they a bit tight? The cuffs are a bit too small and too short. My sister will take you to buy new clothes tomorrow."
"hiahia~~" Xi'er laughed twice and suddenly whispered: "Sister, do we have money?"
"Yes!" Tan Jin'er stood up and said, "Isn't my sister working every day? I have made money."
Seeing that Xi'er's face was still worried, she emphasized: "A lot!"
Xi'er hiahia smiled, "My sister is so amazing——"
Tan Jin'er smiled and touched her little head: "Tomorrow we will buy new clothes and burn incense together on New Year's Day."
"I'm also buying it for my sister. I don't have enough money, so I don't want it. Look, I have a lot of clothes. I still have them in the cupboard."
"No, you can't wear the clothes in the cupboard because you've grown up."
"There are still a lot of my sister's old clothes."
"I don't want those anymore. I'll throw them away later and buy you new ones."
Xi'er raised her little face, stared at Tan Jin'er, and said seriously: "Sister, I don't like Xiaobai's new clothes. Really, I just went to play, hiahiahia~~~"
Tan Jin'er turned around and went to the kitchen.
"Sister is going to make dinner. Anyway, we are going to buy new clothes tomorrow. Chinese New Year is coming soon. We will dress beautifully and go home together..."
Before she finished speaking, she had already entered the kitchen and disappeared from Xi'er's eyes.
Xi'er stood there for a while, followed gently to the kitchen door, lay on the edge of the door, looked in, and saw her sister cutting vegetables with her back to her, and said: "Hehe~~Sister! Sister~
~~~”
She yelled several times before Tan Jin'er looked back at her: "What are you doing?"
Xi'er made a face and pulled her little face with her hands to make her happy.
"Aww~~~Aww, hiahia, is Xi'er scary?"
Tan Jin'er couldn't laugh or cry: "Stop it, you are losing your teeth, doesn't it hurt?"
Xi'er took a breath. One of her baby teeth was shaky and painful. She reached into her mouth and pinched a small thing out!!!
She put the small thing she pinched out of her mouth into the palm of her hand and looked at it carefully.
"What's wrong? Lost your tooth?"
Tan Jin'er wiped it on her apron and nervously came over to check. Suddenly, Xi'er stuffed the little thing in her heart back into her mouth.
"Let the teeth grow back."
Tan Jiner: (ΩДΩ)!
"You can't put it back. If a tooth falls out, it's gone. It can't grow back!"
Xi'er blinked, thought for a moment and said, "If you eat it in your belly, two teeth will grow in spring."
Beep, Beep, Beep, I ate it in two or three bites!!!
Tan Jiner: (ΩДΩ)!
"Spit it out! You can't eat it! Hurry!"
She quickly stretched out her hand to pinch Xi'er's mouth and make her spit out the teeth she had eaten. Unexpectedly, the little guy suddenly laughed and ran away.
"hiahiahiahiahia~~~~~"
Xi'er skipped back to the living room, climbed onto the sofa, and rolled on it, laughing until her stomach hurt.
Tan Jin'er caught up and was suspicious for a while. She couldn't laugh or cry as she thought of something. Half complaining and half pity, she asked: "Is that candy you just ate?"
“hiahiahia~~~”
Xi'er smiled and rolled on the sofa, very happy.
Tan Jin'er caught her rolling little body, picked her up and sat her down, and asked again: "Is it candy? You tease your sister, right?"
She came up to Xi'er's mouth and smelled it. In addition to the milky scent of Milk Baby, there was also the sweetness of some apples, which must be candy.
Xi'er smiled and nodded.
Tan Jin'er: "...little guy, you have learned how to lie to your sister."
On the other side, Xiaobai's house.
Xiaobai is introducing to Bai Jianping and Ma Lanhua the things they bought today, which are all clothes and shoes. Some of them belong to Xiaobai, and some belong to Bai Jianping and Malanhua.
Malanhua and Bai Jianping were embarrassed. They took a quick look and found that they were all high-end brands. Although they didn't know the price, the materials were stylish and the workmanship was exquisite. They didn't look cheap at first glance.
Malanhua specially called Zhang Tan to express her gratitude to him.
She didn't say not to go back, that would be too false.
After hanging up the phone, Ma Lanhua saw Xiaobai taking two big oranges on the coffee table and was about to run out to play with Xi'er. She stopped her and asked tentatively: "You know you are going to be a guest with Boss Zhang on New Year's Day."
?”
She just heard Zhang Tan say on the phone that he was going to take Xiaobai to visit her uncle's house on New Year's Day.
Malanhua thought that Zhang Tan's family had no relatives. She had never heard him talk about relatives, nor did the principal and Lao Li mention it. It seemed that Zhang Tan also spent the holidays alone in the academy. I don't know when.
Uncle.
Zhang Tan asked her for permission, but she had no reason not to give in, so she agreed.
Xiaobai stood at the door holding a big yellow orange, "You know, are you going to bang it?"
Malanhua asked: "Do you want to go?"
Xiaobai immediately said coyly: "I, I promised Boss Zhang."
Malanhua waved her hand to let her play, then turned to Bai Jianping and said, "Boss Zhang is going to take Xiaobai to his uncle's house for dinner on New Year's Day. Xiaobai agreed, and he doesn't seem to be afraid."
Bai Jianping lay in the rocking chair and watched TV, making a creaking sound.
"This is a good thing. Xiaobai should slowly integrate into Boss Zhang's life, and we should encourage him."
"I'm just an uncle who has never heard of Zhang Tan."
"You can still know all the family relationships, eh? His uncle's family?"
Bai Jianping suddenly sat up from the rocking chair, as if he was standing tall.
Malanhua was a little startled by him and glared at him: "Did you lie to me?"
"Lao Ma! Uncle's wife is called aunt, right?" Bai Jianping asked.
"Habao! It's the aunt."
Bai Jianping looked at Malanhua as if he had seen a ghost.
"Are you going to die? I will scatter your ashes in the Pony River."
"What nonsense! Lao Ma, I remembered who Boss Zhang's aunt is! Oh, Hammer! She is a high official!"
