Zhusha knelt down and touched the dog's head. Lulu realized that she was a friend brought back by her master and licked the palm of her hand enthusiastically.
Zhusha smiled and asked: "Your dog?"
"Yes, my name is Lulu." Ma Xiaolong said, "Come in!"
Zhusha stood up and silently followed him into the courtyard, looking around.
"Grandma, grandma!" Ma Xiaolong called twice, but there was no response: "Strange, why aren't you at home?"
He turned to Zhu Sha and said, "My grandma may have gone out, so let's go inside first!"
"Um."
When I walked into the living room of the west room, the TV in the middle room was not turned on and there was no one in the west room.
Ma Xiaofeng is not at home either. Didn't she go to Xiaojun's house?
Thinking of Chen Jun and her mother who had just moved back at noon, Ma Xiaolong knew what they were doing.
"You sit down first, I'll get the needle and thread." After entering the west room, Ma Xiaolong took off his schoolbag and said.
Zhu Sha also took off her schoolbag and nodded: "Okay."
The needles and threads were all stored in grandma's room. After a while, Ma Xiaolong brought a box of needles and threads over and poured a glass of water: "I'm poor, I only have cold drinks."
Zhusha chuckled: "I'm just thirsty, thank you."
"As long as you don't mind it." Ma Xiaolong patted the bedside: "Sit down! I'll sew it up for you."
Zhusha drank up the water in one breath, put the water glass on the desk, walked to the bed and sat down.
Ma Xiaolong tugged on Zhusha's skirt. The skirt was the red skirt from the morning. The tear was on the lower left side. The opening was not big, only about five centimeters.
After thinking about it, Ma Xiaolong decided to use white thread and blue thread.
Seeing Ma Xiaolong skillfully threading and sewing on her skirt, Cinnabar's eyes were filled with surprise: "Are you really good at it?"
"Otherwise?" Ma Xiaolong said, "Don't worry, I promise to sew it beautifully for you."
Zhusha stopped talking and watched as Ma Xiaolong's right hand holding the needle and thread flew up and down her skirt so fast that a phantom almost appeared, which made her dizzy.
After about ten minutes, Ma Xiaolong cut off the needle and thread, looked at his work, and nodded with satisfaction: "It's done, how about you see it for yourself?"
Zhusha pulled her skirt flat, and there was a white snowflake with a hint of ice blue on the red skirt, but the shape of the snowflake was a bit strange. The six convex corners were in the shape of leaves, and there was a hollow snowflake shape in the middle.
It seems to be burning with a weak flame.
Although it looks strange, it is really good-looking.
Zhusha's eyes lit up and she asked, "Is there a mirror?"
"Only the makeup mirror." Ma Xiaolong took the makeup mirror from the desk and took a picture of the snowflakes on the cinnabar skirt.
The snowflakes on the red dress had an indescribable strangeness, with a hint of holiness in the heat. Zhu Sha felt that her dress was much prettier than before.
"So beautiful."
"Beautiful!" Ma Xiaolong said with a bit of pride: As expected of the LV4-level female embroidery skills, he perfectly embroidered the "snowflake" on the Winter Olympics torch. The world's top embroidery masters can only do this.
Zhusha looked in the mirror for a long time, then reluctantly looked away and praised: "Xiaolong, you are really a genius."
"It must be done~" Ma Xiaolong put his hands on his hips: "Now your skirt is valuable. Most people can't enjoy my skills."
"Yeah." Zhusha flicked her skirt, thought for a while, and said, "How about I give you money?"
"It's a long way to go if you just give me money." Ma Xiaolong waved his hand and said, "I'm really sorry, just treat me to a snowman."
Zhusha's smile was as bright as a flower: "Okay, I'll treat you to a treat after school at noon tomorrow."
"no problem."
Just as he was talking, Ma Xiaofeng opened the door and came in, followed by a little kid.
"Brother...who is she?"
Seeing a stranger in the room, Ma Xiaofeng was shocked: There is really a girl who is more beautiful than me!?
"My classmate Zhu Sha told you at noon that you can just call her sister." After saying that, Ma Xiaolong said to Zhu Sha: "This is my sister Ma Xiaofeng, you can just call her Xiaofeng."
"Xiao Feng." Zhu Sha nodded with a smile.
"..."
Seeing the little one behind Ma Xiaofeng, Ma Xiaolong smiled and said, "Xiaojun, did you call me brother?"
"Brother." Chen Jun called out timidly.
Chen Jun is three years younger than him, and is now a four-year-old little carrot. He may be introverted and afraid of strangers due to the influence of his family environment, but he is very cute with his handsome face, big eyes and round face.
"Hey, you're so obedient." Ma Xiaolong smiled, turned to Zhu Sha and asked, "Is there any more sugar?"
"..." Zhu Sha took out a handful of candies from her skirt pocket, which were all white rabbits.
"Brother, treat you to some sweets." Ma Xiaolong was generous and thrust a big white rabbit into Chen Jun's hand.
"I don't want it." Chen Jun put his hands behind his back and shook his head repeatedly: "Mom won't let me ask for other people's things."
"Your mother won't let you ask for 'other people'. My brother is not someone else. Take it!" Seeing that Chen Jun was still shrinking his hands, Ma Xiaolong directly stuffed the candy into her trouser pocket.
Chen Jun couldn't struggle, so he passively accepted a bag of toffee and said a little aggrievedly: "Thank you, brother."
"You're welcome, eat it!"
"..." Ma Xiaofeng's eyes turned red. She hadn't eaten candy for a long time.
At this time, a handful of toffee was put into her hand. Ma Xiaofeng turned her head and saw Zhu Sha smiled and said, "Please eat some candies."
Ma Xiaofeng was instantly moved, and her affection for Cinnabar was like a rocket taking off, soaring straight into the universe: "Thank you, sister."
From now on you will be my biological sister.
"???" Ma Xiaofeng's sudden intimacy was too much for Zhu Sha to handle.
He glanced at his generous deskmate, his eyes flashed, and he seemed to understand something. He looked at Ma Xiaofeng with a more sympathetic look: He must be very hard if his brain is not good!
"Sister, your dress is so beautiful!" Ma Xiaofeng, who is naturally in love with beauty, quickly noticed the snowflakes on the cinnabar dress, and her eyes were as bright as light bulbs: "It must be very expensive, right?"
Zhusha smiled and said: "It's not bad! There are only about a hundred styles from the south."
"So expensive!?" Ma Xiaofeng was shocked. The dress she was wearing only cost five yuan.
"The materials are expensive." Ma Xiaolong said, "Your sister's family is rich and can afford it, so don't even think about it."
"Humph!" Ma Xiaofeng pouted, looking at Cinnabar's skirt, she was so envious.
Zhu Sha said: "My skirt last year was a bit too small. I'll bring it back to you later to try on it."
Ma Xiaofeng's eyes lit up: "Really!?"
Cinnabar nodded with a smile.
Ma Xiaofeng threw herself into her arms excitedly: "Thank you, sister. Sister is so kind. You are my biological sister."
Zhu Sha smiled and hugged her, thinking: Although she is a bit stupid, she is quite cute.
Ma Xiaolong teased Chen Jun for a while, then turned around and asked, "Xiao Feng, where is grandma?"
"I'm cleaning up the house across the street!" Ma Xiaofeng hugged Zhusha's thigh tightly and said, "Auntie said we should have dinner at her house tonight."
The opposite door is the home where Chen Jun has just moved. Ma Xiaofeng calls Chen Jun's mother aunt. She is not a relative. If she sees any elders she doesn't know in the local area, the women will be called "aunt" and the men will be called "uncle (baibai)".
Chen Jun's mother's name is Zhang Zhiling. She is only 25 years old. She is a music teacher at a local junior high school and a hard-working woman.
Zhang Chiling's parents were both educated youths who went to the mountains and countryside to get together. They later had her, but at the end of those ten years, first her father left them mother and daughter and ran away. Later, her mother couldn't stand the excitement and left the house across the door.
The grandfather who was entrusted to Ma Xiaolong also ran away.
Yes, Zhang Chiling has lived across the street since she was a child. It was Ma Xiaolong's grandfather and grandmother who raised her.
Five years ago, when Zhang Chiling turned 20, she found a male teacher who was suitable in all aspects after asking around from her grandmother. After the two met, they both fell in love with each other and soon started talking about getting married.
The following year, Chen Jun was born.
Originally, Zhang Chiling lived a happy life for several years, but just a few months ago, Zhang Chiling's husband died.
In his previous life, Ma Xiaolong had asked how Zhang Chiling's husband died. But his grandfather and grandma did not tell him whether he was dead or alive. Later, his mother accidentally let it slip. Only then did Ma Xiaolong find out that Zhang Chiling's husband died immediately of madness.
At that time, Ma Xiaolong was shocked for a whole year.
Maybe my mother knew that she had spilled the beans and told all the causes and consequences of the matter.
It turned out that Zhang Chiling's husband had been frail and sick since he was a child, and he was treated with medicine. Fortunately, as he grew up, his health gradually improved. On the surface, he looked like a normal person, but he should not be too tired, otherwise problems would easily occur.
Zhang Chiling is a super beauty. From the current perspective of Ma Xiaolong, she has at least 17 or 8 points of charm. If she were in her twenties, she would definitely be 18 points or higher.
What man can bear such a beautiful daughter-in-law? You can be considerate if you don’t know how to control yourself.
It's just that Zhang Chiling's husband had a congenital deficiency and lacked self-control, so this way of death was more or less predictable.
But here's the problem. The death of Zhang Chiling's husband was a huge blow to her, but her mother-in-law's family put all the blame on her, thinking that she killed her husband.
After several quarrels, Zhang Zhiling knew that she could no longer stay at her husband's house, so she moved back to the opposite door with Chen Jun at noon today.
