In the reading area, the lights are dim, Xiaobai is reading a picture book in his hands, Xiaomi is holding his cheeks in his hands, listening in rapt attention.
Zhang Tan walked softly, and Xiaomi noticed it immediately. He suddenly raised his head and looked over, with joy on his face. However, after seeing that it was Zhang Tan, his joy quickly subsided, and he bared his teeth and smiled politely without saying anything.
"Why haven't you gone to bed yet?" Zhang Tan asked.
"Sister Xiaomin hasn't come to pick up sister Xiaomin yet." Xiaobai said.
Zhang Tan sat down and said, "Did she go on a mission?"
Xiaomi shook her head and said she didn't know. Ding Jiamin didn't tell her that he was going out on a mission tonight. She thought he would come to pick her up normally tonight, but it's already past ten o'clock now.
Zhang Tan comforted him by saying that Ding Jiamin must have a mission, so he couldn't come for a while.
"Have you called?" he asked.
Xiaomi nodded and said that Teacher Xiaoliu had called, but the phone was turned off and no contact was made.
Zhang Tan: "Let's go play at home, Xiaobai, and invite Xiaomi to come."
Xiaobai held Xiaomi's hand and went home. Suddenly he pinched his nose and said, "You're drinking!"
Zhang sighed and sniffed, Xiaobai took Xiaomi and ran away immediately.
Is it that obvious? I didn’t drink much.
"I'm going to brush my teeth." Zhang Tan said.
When the three of them returned home, Zhang Tan asked Xiaobai to entertain Xiaomi and went downstairs to the second floor to find Teacher Xiaoliu to learn about Ding Jiamin's situation.
Teacher Xiaoliu was quite distressed and said that Ding Jiamin's mobile phone was turned off and she couldn't be contacted now. She didn't say before that she wouldn't come tonight, and there was no warning beforehand.
Zhang Tan comforted him by saying that he might be on an important emergency mission and it was normal to shut down the computer.
"If it doesn't work, let Xiaomi and Xiaobai sleep together tonight. You can go off work as usual. Don't worry about it. I will take care of it."
"Thank you, boss."
Zhang Tan looked into the dormitory. It was dark inside, with only a few floor lamps in the corners shining faintly. He couldn't see many children sleeping inside.
Teacher Xiaoliu took the initiative and said: "There are eight children here, and Xiaonian is also here."
Zhang Tan nodded, and when he returned home, Xiaobai was good at entertaining children. He sat on the sofa with Xiaomi, accompanied by two dolls, with their little feet crossed, holding a bear drink and sipping. There was a stack of drinks on the coffee table.
Little Putao is watching TV. "Little Opera" is playing on the TV.
The two kids were watching it with gusto. Well, Xiaobai was mainly watching it with gusto. Although Xiaomi's eyes fell on the TV, as soon as there was any movement around him, he would immediately look over and distract himself.
When Zhang Tan came back, she looked over immediately, probably thinking that Ding Jiamin was coming to pick her up.
"Xiaomi, your sister Xiaomin has something urgent to do tonight, so she may not be able to come back. You can sleep with Xiaobai tonight."
Xiaomi was stunned and asked concernedly if sister Xiaomin was in danger.
She has lived with Ding Jiamin for two years, and she knows that police work is relatively dangerous. She has seen Ding Jiamin's arm injured when he went out to perform tasks before.
Zhang Tan told her that there was no danger, but it was urgent.
Xiaomi nodded, said oh, and looked at the TV again, absent-mindedly.
Zhang Tan knew that she must be in a bad mood, so he asked Xiaobai to take Xiaomi to take a bath and then go to bed. It was getting late.
Xiaobai clicked his tongue, finished the bear drink, jumped off the sofa, put the bottle on the coffee table, suddenly glanced at Zhang Tan, and sighed like a little adult.
"..." Zhang Tan asked in surprise, "Why are you sighing?"
"ε=(′ο｀*))) Sigh, I don't even know how to yell at you." Xiaobai said.
Zhang Tan: (o_o)?
"Are you drinking again? Don't drink." Xiaobai said, went to the refrigerator and took out another bottle of bear drink, handed it to Zhang Tan, and asked him to drink, saying that he would not get drunk after drinking this.
.
Zhang Tan smiled and said: "Little Bear Drink has this magical function? It's the first time I've heard of it."
Xiaobai said proudly: "You don't know a lot, this is my strength."
"Thank you for your strength. I'd better not drink. I drank a lot of water tonight and my stomach is bloated. I'm going to brush my teeth and wash my face now. There will be no alcohol smell when I come out."
Xiaobai took the bear drink naturally, secretly laughed, inserted the straw, and continued to sip.
After Zhang Tan washed up, he asked Xiaobai and Xiaomi to go too. He was worried that they were playing in the water, so he waited in the living room and asked about the progress inside from time to time.
The night was getting darker and darker, the wind was blowing outside the window, and the trees were rustling. Xiaobai and Xiaomi returned to the bedroom, lying on the bed, and Zhang Tan was telling them a bedtime story.
Xiaobai fell asleep soon after, and Xiaomi heard light breathing. Zhang Tan gradually stopped making noises, quietly turned off the lamp, and went out to leave.
The door was gently closed, and Xiaomi, who was sleeping, immediately opened his eyes. He was not sleepy, and stared at the ceiling in a daze. He then got up, sat on the bed and looked out the window. The yard was empty, and there was no one around.
Zhang Tan did not go back to the bedroom, but wrote the script in the study. "The Legend of Bai Suzhen" is almost completed. After this is completed, the small drama version will be completed soon.
At the same time, he is still writing the script he created in his previous life. Not only is he writing it, but he is constantly improving it based on his accumulated experience and grasp of the market.
Having written so many other people's works in his previous life, he even wanted to put his own works on the screen again and accept the test of the audience and the market.
It's quiet at night, but the cockerel sounds in the corner and makes a beeping sound. It's good to get used to it, but if it doesn't, it will be a bit uncomfortable.
Suddenly, the mobile phone placed next to the desk beeped and vibrated twice.
If it were in the past, he would mute his cell phone while working and put it away from him, and only look at his cell phone after he finished working.
But tonight because of Ding Jiamin's incident, I was worried that she might call at any time, so I left my phone with me.
He picked it up and saw that it was indeed a text message from Ding Jiamin.
The content of the text message was very brief: I am on a mission, help me take care of Xiaomi for one night, thank you.
There were two typos in it, and it was obvious that she sent it in a hurry. It was exactly as expected. She was on an emergency mission. She probably couldn't use her mobile phone during the mission, so she didn't send the text message until now.
Zhang Tan thought for a while and replied with two words: Received.
As soon as I put the phone down, it rang again. I picked it up and saw that it belonged to Aunt Huang.
Aunt Huang came to ask if Xiaomi had slept. She was getting ready to get off work. Before leaving get off work, she was still worried about Xiaomi.
It was already past midnight, all the children in Xiaohongmali had been picked up, and teachers Xiaoliu and Aunt Huang were getting ready to get off work.
Zhang Tan reassured them and went out to the yard to see them off. Lao Li simply packed up his things and walked slowly back to the village. Zhang Tan locked the door, walked around the yard to check, returned home, and prepared to go to bed.
Before going to bed, I went back to Xiaobai's bedroom and took a look. The two children were sleeping soundly.
ps: Please give me a monthly ticket. One ticket is 100 coins.
