"Come on, eat some fruit. I bought it at the vegetable market early this morning. It's fresh!" Teacher Lin washed a large plate of fruit, with five or six varieties, and warmly entertained Ma Xiaolong and Zhusha.
In 1996, the technology of vegetable greenhouses has matured and spread rapidly. You can now eat fresh fruits in winter. Apart from being a little expensive, there are no other problems.
Knowing that Ma Xiaolong was coming as a guest, Teacher Lin made a big investment. This plate of fruit alone cost her two days' salary.
"Thank you, Auntie." Ma Xiaolong knew the financial situation of Dai Yu's family. They were not poor, but they were not well-off either. They didn't even have a refrigerator or a washing machine. Yesterday's Chinese cabbage was a winter vegetable. The outer layer was dry and two layers were torn off.
Only then did I see fresh cabbage.
He often goes to the market to 'collect strategic supplies' and knows the market prices very well. He knows that this plate of fruit is not cheap, and he also understands Teacher Lin's sincerity, so he opened his schoolbag and took out bags of candies and snacks: "Auntie,
Today is our official visit, so we didn’t know what to buy, so we just bought some snacks.”
"You kid, come on over! What else are you buying?" Teacher Lin's face turned pale. She was really unhappy: "I've accepted my wish. Put your things away. My aunt's house doesn't need this little thing from you."
Ma Xiaolong shook his head: "Auntie, are you driving us away?"
"What do you say? When did auntie chase you away? You are still students and don't know how hard it is to make money. Be obedient and take your things back. When you make money by yourself in the future, auntie will definitely accept the things you bought."
"Uh, what, aunt, I published "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" when I was eight years old. Although I didn't make much money in these years, I also bought several houses and shops in Beijing and Jincheng. These snacks are
I bought it with my own money," Ma Xiaolong said.
Teacher Lin: "..."
Dai Yu: "..."
Zhu Sha was helpless: he had tricked her again.
"This, that's it!" Teacher Lin was a little embarrassed and turned to Dai Yu: "Since it is Xiaolong's intention, just accept it!"
"???"
Dai Yu silently accepted the gift, digging his toes into the ground, trying to carve out a three-bedroom apartment to live in.
"You guys are playing, I'm going to cook. No one is allowed to leave today at noon until after dinner." Teacher Lin gave the order without waiting for anyone to respond. He went straight to the outer room and closed the door behind him.
intimate.
"Auntie is really warm and hospitable." Ma Xiaolong happily ate the small sour pear, which was sour, sweet and juicy and especially appetizing.
"It's true that you made Teacher Lin and Sister Lin so embarrassed." Zhu Sha tugged on his ears.
"If I didn't say that, how could Teacher Lin accept the gift?" Ma Xiaolong said: "Even if it hurts Sister Lin, I didn't expect Teacher Lin to let Sister Lin take the blame."
Dai Yu lowered his head: "I'm fine, I'm used to it."
"..." Ma Xiaolong was stunned for a moment. He didn't say much, but he had a lot of information!
Zhu Sha hugged Dai Yu and said, "Poor sister Lin, I love you."
"..." Dai Yu struggled left and right, and finally got out of the endless abyss: "Huha——"
Taking a few deep breaths, Dai Yu said angrily: "You want to suffocate me to death!"
"Sorry, sorry, just out of habit." Zhusha said with a smile, "Are you okay?"
"It'll be fine if you stay away from me." Dai Yu huddled in the corner of the bed, refusing to let her get close to avoid being suffocated to death.
Ma Xiaolong coughed dryly and said: "Sister Lin, after lunch, go to my house and identify the door, so that you can see where I usually live and work. By the way, have dinner at my house, and go to my wife's house to take a bath in the evening.
Take a bath, stay one night, and I’ll send you back tomorrow.”
"..." Dai Yu opened his mouth. There was so much information that he didn't know where to start.
"You have to be brave enough to try things in life." Zhu Sha smiled and said, "You haven't stayed at a friend's house before, right? Come to my house today to experience it. There is no one else in my house, so you don't have to be cautious."
Dai Yu lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "I'll discuss it with my mother."
"It should."
After a while, Teacher Lin and Dai Yu walked in together. Teacher Lin looked at Ma Xiaolong and said, "Xiao Yu has never stayed outside overnight. She is not in good health. I'm afraid..."
"Auntie, I can assure you that we will do our best to take care of Dai Yu's health. Moreover, Zhusha's home is only a hundred meters away from the traditional Chinese medicine hospital. If something goes wrong, we can send him to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible."
"this……"
"Dai Yu also wants to experience the feeling of staying at a classmate's house like an ordinary student, doesn't he?" Ma Xiaolong said with a smile.
Teacher Lin saw the longing in her daughter's eyes and sighed: "Okay! I'm just afraid of causing trouble to you."
"No." Ma Xiaolong said: "Zhusha's father has gone abroad, and there is no one else in the house except two nannies. There is no burden to go to her house to spend the night. Besides, I will also stay there for the night, so I can help at any time if there is any trouble."
Busy."
"You've said so. If I don't agree again, it will be too offensive." Teacher Lin said.
"In that case, we all know that you are worried about your daughter's health. It's human nature."
"You kid, you talk like an adult." Teacher Lin smiled and said, "No wonder you wrote a book at the age of eight and it was published."
"This...actually the comic book was published when I was eight years old. It was published when I was nine years old."
"..." Teacher Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's quite serious, but today I have seen what a genius child is, and he is different from ordinary children."
"The same thing, one nose, two eyes, one mouth, two ears." Ma Xiaolong said.
Teacher Lin was amused: "You are a kid that attracts attention, so if you do that, I will leave Xiaoyu to you."
"Don't worry, I'm very reliable." Ma Xiaolong beat his chest loudly: "I guarantee that Dai Yu will come back fat and healthy."
This time even Dai Yu was amused.
…
During lunch, Teacher Lin asked Ma Xiaolong a lot of questions, such as where he lived? Who was in his family? Which year, month and day was he born? Oh, he is seven months older than Xiao Yu! Very good, very good.
"..." Why does it sound more and more wrong the more I hear it?
Zhu Sha also frowned upon hearing this.
Dai Yu was so embarrassed that he only lowered his head to eat.
The meal was finished without any embarrassment. Teacher Lin handed Dai Yu a backpack, which contained some medicines, a change of clothes, and fifty yuan: "It's my first time to go to Xiaolong's house. I bought something on the way. Don't worry.
Go empty-handed."
"Aunt..."
"Do you want Auntie to return the things to you?" Teacher Lin blocked Ma Xiaolong back with one sentence.
Ma Xiaolong was helpless: "Okay! But my family doesn't lack anything. Just buy two kilograms of oranges."
"Let Xiao Yu decide on his own!" Teacher Lin smiled slightly, tied a scarf and hat on Dai Yu, and warned: "Outside is not like home. Remember to say hello to your elders when you meet them, but don't be too formal and be generous.
"
"Yeah." Dai Yu nodded repeatedly.
Teacher Lin looked at her and said with emotion: "Very good, let's go!"
"Um."
…
After seeing off the third primary school, Teacher Lin walked to Dai Yu's desk and looked at the brand new books and comics on the desk. He opened them and took a look. The title page of each book was signed with artistic words. If you look carefully, you can see that it is "Little Dragon".
'These two words are written in a pleasing way.
After flipping through two more books, two photos suddenly fell out from the middle of the book.
Teacher Lin picked it up and saw that it was Ma Xiaolong's daily life photo. He was very sunny and handsome. He signed his name on the front of the photo and wrote blessings on the back. They were, "I wish sister Lin good health and happy growth" and "May the world be beautiful and happy."
You are linked together'.
Teacher Lin was very moved after reading it: "This kid Xiaolong is really good."
After a pause, he chuckled: "Sister Lin? This child is so interesting."
…
"Here we are, this is my home." He drove Sanbengzi into the yard, got out of the car, petted Lulu, who ran over wagging his tail, and said, "This is my old dog, named Lulu."
Lulu was just an ordinary little local dog with an ordinary appearance, but Dai Yu's eyes lit up and he asked, "Can I pet it?"
"Touch! Lulu is quite humane and doesn't bite." Ma Xiaolong said.
"Yes." Dai Yu squatted down, took off his gloves, and stretched out his hand: "Lulu, come here."
Because she came back with Ma Xiaolong, Lulu knew that she was not a thief, and when she heard her calling her name, she came closer with her tail wagging, first smelled her scent, and then licked her hand, wagging her tail even more happily.
Dai Yu giggled and stroked the dog's head gently. This was her first time petting a dog in her life. She was a bit addicted and couldn't stop.
"Xiaolong, Xiaosha, are back! Oh, whose daughter is this? She is so handsome!" Grandma came out of the house and asked with a smile on her face when she saw Dai Yu squatting on the ground and playing with the dog.
Dai Yu stood up quickly and turned to look at Ma Xiaolong.
"Grandma, she is Dai Yu. I am a classmate of Zhu Sha and the study committee member of the class. She came to our house to play. Dai Yu, this is my grandma. You can just call me grandma." Ma Xiaolong said.
"Hello grandma." Dai Yu said hello quickly.
"Okay, oh my! The child looks really good. He is also a study committee member. It's great." Seeing Dai Yu's 19 points of good looks, grandma was so happy that he was a grandson.
Gotta look good.
Dai Yu was a little embarrassed to be praised by his grandma: "Thank you, grandma. Compared with Xiaolong, I'm still far behind."
"My child is so humble. Stop standing in the courtyard and come into the house. It's warm inside." Grandma greeted the three children into the house.
"Grandma, it's my first time here and I don't know what to bring. I bought some fruits." Before entering the house, Dai Yu handed the fruits he bought on the way to his grandma.
"You kid, just come here! Why don't you bring anything else?" Grandma scolded her with a smile on her face: "Don't do this again."
"Yeah." Dai Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but after entering the house and seeing the decoration inside, he felt a little nervous again.
The decoration of Zhusha's house is also very good, but the main function is to provide her with a place to practice, so the practice room and bathroom are the most intensive. The bedrooms and living rooms are relatively ordinary. However, Ma Xiaolong designed his home to be the most suitable for living.
decoration plan.
The bedroom, living room, and bathroom are fully functional and beautifully decorated. The sofa, the coffee table, the refrigerator, the washing machine, the big TV, and the beautiful chandelier hanging on the roof, which Dai Yu had only seen on TV.
