396、Father and Son
"I have improved a lot recently. When will you come here, I will cook it for you to eat."
"Brave it."
"It's true, there are pictures to prove it."
Zhang Tan sent Su Lan the photo of Xiaobai and Liuliu eating bibimbap, and fortunately bragging in front of his girlfriend.
Su Lan saw the two little cuties holding their bowls happily, Xiaobai buried his head in digging for food, while Liuliu gave a thumbs up at the camera.
She gave a string of laughter, "The pose marks are too obvious, it doesn't count."
"It really doesn't count."
"Then you're still bragging."
"So I suggest you come and try it yourself. The bibimbap I make is the best bibimbap in the world."
Su Lan gave another burst of laughter, "But, I have an event in Peking recently and can't leave for a while."
Zhang sighed: "It's okay, then I'll go there."
"No, it will delay your work."
"I'll fly in tomorrow."
"Ah? So fast? Not a weekend, can you ask for leave?"
"I took on a new project today, which is the highlight of the company's year. The Anti-Japanese War film. I want to prepare a script, which is quite difficult to write. There are two other screenwriters who are both seniors, the kind with representative works, and they are strong. If I don't take it seriously, I will probably be eliminated. I will tell the company to relax and find inspiration. For screenwriters, this is very normal. Maybe the company will reimburse me for travel expenses."
When Su Lan heard that Zhang Tan had a new project, he was curious and concerned. After asking a few more questions, he said after listening to his detailed description: "Then you shouldn't come over, run around, how can you have the heart to calm down?"
"The body is busy, but the mind is calm."
After chatting with Su Lan for a long time, Zhang Tan continued to typing on the keyboard and tried to write down the general plot of "Luxing". As a story summary, I unknowingly wrote it for more than two hours. The alarm clock on my phone rang, and it was ten o'clock in the evening.
He looked up and looked out the window. The night was dark. He put down his computer, got up and walked around, and went to the second floor, and looked into the door of the dormitory. The little breasts were heard everywhere. The children had just been taken in by the little teacher, and they were in full swing, fighting wits and courage. Liuliu's voice was extremely penetrating and was immediately recognized by Zhang Tan.
He didn't go in, but passed by the door and came to the first floor. There were two lights on the reading area, and two small figures, one big and one small, sat quietly on a chair and read the picture book. It was Xiaobai and Jiang Bin.
Hearing the footsteps, the two looked up and found Zhang sighing.
"Don't Jiangbin go to bed?" Zhang sighed and asked Jiangbin. He knew that Xiaobai's uncle would arrive soon, but Jiangbin's father was not sure, and he usually came very late.
"I'm going home soon." Jiang Bin couldn't help but smile on his face as he spoke.
"What? Your dad got off work so early today?"
Jiangbin nodded and proudly said that his father promised him to come and pick him up early tonight because they were going to the bookstore to buy books before closing.
"It's buying story books." Jiang Bin emphasized.
Zhang asked with a smile: "Wow, there must be something happy, right? Do you want to share it with me and Xiaobai?"
No matter how precocious Jiang Bin is, he is still a child. He couldn't help but hear this and proudly announced that he had scored full marks in Chinese and mathematics exams.
Zhang Tan congratulated him and looked at Xiaobai who was sitting beside him holding a picture book and reading the story. Xiaobai quickly said, "I, I, I, I am the young class monitor today."
"Really?" Zhang Tan asked in surprise.
Xiaobai nodded and said that if she lies, she is not a human being, but a melon girl.
"Congratulations to you, you are so awesome. You were so young that you became the squad leader..."
Riverside Balabala snatched Zhang Tan's words.
Xiaobai's class takes turns to be the class monitor, and everyone has a share every day. Today it's Xiaobai's turn, and it will be Xiaomi in a few days, but no matter what, this matter is worth encouraging.
Jiang Bin was right. His father came soon and rode a motorcycle to take him away and rushed to the bookstore that was about to close.
Jiangbin's father wanted his son to be successful and had high requirements for Jiangbin. He was not stingy with buying books for him, but he bought tutoring books, and this time it was a story book.
Only Zhang Tan and Xiaobai were left in the reading area. They sat next to each other. Zhang Tan turned his head to look at the little child: "Xiaobai, I'll read the picture book for you? Do you want it?"
"You want~" Xiaobai responded with a crisp voice.
At the earliest, Zhang Tan volunteered to read picture books and told Xiaobai stories, and taught her to read and pronounce words, but she didn't persist for too long.
Fortunately, Xiaobai didn't put his hope entirely on him. It was very effective to go to kindergarten every day. For example, Xiaobai's Mandarin is much better now than before, and Bai Jianping's Mandarin is also on the same level.
Zhang Tan picked a picture book from the bookshelf called "The Bottle of Memory".
The name sounds profound and seems not suitable for children to read, but in fact it is a very interesting picture book that can impart subtle teaching of the truth.
The illustrations in the book are very beautiful. A small wooden house is filled with bottles of strange shapes and colorful colors.
These bottles contain Mr. Dell's past, childhood joy, sorrow of growth, joy of reunion, longing for separation, love with his wife, happiness of family, etc., and scenes are recorded in these magical bottles, and are Mr. Dell's most precious wealth.
There is a story in every bottle, which is simple, interesting and meaningful. Xiaobai listened with relish. When Bai Jianping came to pick her up, she applied to Zhang Tan to take this picture book home. She still wants to read it at night and bring it back tomorrow.
"You can take it back, but there is a requirement. Tomorrow you will tell other children the stories you have read."
Xiaobai agreed and jumped and followed Bai Jianping away, holding "The Bottle of Memory" along the way, like a baby.
"Huh?" When he got home, Bai Jianping was looking for the key to open the door. Xiaobai noticed that the lights were on next door and said in a low voice, "Uncle, look~ someone yelled."
Bai Jianping knew that someone was there. He had been at home at night and was so close, so how could he not know? But he didn't take the initiative to say hello, thinking that he would not see him, and it would not be too late to say hello one day, and it was natural.
"You're so small? It's like a thief."
"You are just a thief! Your whole family is a thief."
"Okay, my whole family is a thief, now my whole family is all you and I."
"snort!"
Xiaobai was too lazy to pay attention to her uncle. She tiptoed and wanted to sneak to the next door and peep at the door. Bai Jianping caught her back.
"What do you want to live?"
"What a big baby."
"No, go home, go to bed."
Xiaobai was caught in the house and was ordered by Bai Jianping to sing to him because he wanted to burn foot water for her, so that it would be fair.
Xiaobai stood in the kitchen reluctantly and gave Bai Jianping a song.
Listening to the melody, Bai Jianping thought it was quite nice. He asked the title of the song and said it was called "Little Goosezi". His nose was so angry that he almost turned crooked, which triggered a new round of disputes. The two quarreled, the big one accused the little one of the unfilial ones, and cursed people in a corner, while the little one denied it angrily, saying that the big one was the bad one and bullied the little one.
The dispute burned from the kitchen to the living room. Bai Jianping provided Xiaobai with hot and cold water, put a foot basin, and asked her to soak the little jiojio inside. Then she sat opposite him, took off her socks, and put her feet in.
The two continued to quarrel while soaking their feet.
"Okay, okay, I won't argue with you, go and take your foot wash water." Bai Jianping said, looking at crossing his legs and leaning comfortably on the sofa.
Xiaobai put on his shoes, dragged the washbasin to the kitchen, and poured the water. Although she was weak and couldn't handle the washbasin, it didn't matter. Practice makes perfect, and she has a way to do work that was not strong enough.
When she left the kitchen, Xiaobai turned off the lights in the kitchen and brought the door. Suddenly she heard a voice in the corridor outside the door. She raised her little ears and ran to the door. She opened the door with Su Lan poster behind the door, tilted her little body, stretched out her little head, and checked the movements in the corridor.
She saw a little baby, a little boy, about the same age as her, wearing a big gray coat, led by an adult. The adult was locking the door. When the boy heard the movement behind him, he turned around and saw Xiaobai with his eyes facing each other.
"Let's go." said the adult who was holding the little boy. He was about to go downstairs and left. They seemed to be going out, so late.
"Dad, look~" the little boy pointed his other hand at Xiaobai and pointed it at his father.
"That's our neighbor, let's go."
The little boy turned around and looked at Xiaobai again and followed his father downstairs. Xiaobai couldn't see it, but he could hear the little boy talking to his father, which was very gentle and gradually disappeared.
Xiaobai ran out of the door, stood at the entrance of the stairs and looked down. The sensing light was on, but the person had already walked away.
Xiaobai ran home again, lay down at the window facing the alley, looked downstairs, and indeed saw the little boy and his father.
Chapter completed!
