With the appearance of the fish tank, the huge courtyard finally has another permanent resident.

This anglerfish has a big head, so when the little guy asked what it should be called, Chen Xi decisively named it -

Big.

It's very expressive, it's also very vivid, and it sounds like it complements the word big cat......

"Big head?"

Because her vocabulary was too small, the little guy whispered the name in his mouth, and then said happily: "Big head is good! This is a big cat, this is a big head! Yu'er Yu'er, you will be called Datou in the future! Okay?"

The big head is a deep-sea fish that has never been in contact with humans, so it naturally can't understand what this little guy is saying now.

However, although it couldn't understand what the little guy was saying, the big cat next to it did.

So, this guy immediately rolled his eyes very humanely.

It's obviously a cat, but there is a very disgusted feeling in his eyes.

Such an arrogant performance fell in Chen Xi's eyes, so naturally he had to slap it again......

After settling down, the family of three greeted the morning sun in late spring and leisurely shook outside the teahouse.

I didn't come back for two months, and a shallow layer of dust had already accumulated in the teahouse, so the couple rolled up their sleeves and began to clean.

The little one slipped into his own children's playground, and then happily played with the building blocks alone.

However, she hadn't been playing for long when there was a sudden burst of chirping and shouting outside the teahouse.

"Nian Nian! Nian Nian! Here we come!"

They hadn't seen each other for many days, but the brothers were not polite at all, and after one of them opened a glass door, the brothers jumped into the teahouse side by side.

Gu Lao thought that the two brothers would wait for his old man to enter the door before letting go, but he didn't expect that as soon as he walked to the door, the glass door had already bounced back and almost hit him in the face.

"This bad kid ......"

Seeing this, Gu Lao shook his head helplessly, and then pushed open the door to say hello to Chen Xi and his wife.

The old rule, after brewing a pot of tea, Chen Xi accompanied the old man to play Go.

Three little things were making noise in the children's park, Qin Ruoying turned on the stereo, played soothing light music, and then picked up a copy of "Flower Collection" and sat in the booth next to the children's park.

In this spring season, this small teahouse hidden in the corner of Houhai has a unique atmosphere of leisurely and lively at the same time.

It's a pity that although the teahouse is good, few customers come to the door.

Today is not a weekend, so it was not until noon that Gu Lao took the brothers home for dinner that the door of the teahouse was finally pushed open again.

Still not a guest.

The little guy looked up, was it Qiao Yuan, who hadn't seen him for many days?

She hadn't contacted Chen Xi beforehand, but she didn't expect to be able to come over on the first day of the teahouse's opening.

If memory serves, Beijing Normal University is not close to Houhai, right?

Why did she just come over?

"The owner...... I ......"

Qiao Yuan had just walked into the teahouse, and when she looked up, she saw Chen Xi's family sitting around a tea table preparing to eat.

So, she immediately lowered her head a little embarrassed, and always felt as if she was here to eat.

"Sister, are you here?! We're going to eat! Come on!"

The little guy shouted excitedly while waving the chopsticks in his hand.

In fact, since the end of the winter vacation, Qiao Yuan has been going to Houhai every day to have a look, and wants to come over to help when the teahouse opens.

She couldn't say why she liked coming here.

Returning the favor is only one aspect.

On the other hand, it may be because of the boss's family of three.

Although the boss doesn't look much older than her, he always gives people a feeling of reading all the seas, plus the knowledgeable, virtuous and virtuous boss lady, and the lively and cute little guy, so Qiao Yuan always wants to follow them and learn from them from the subtleties.

It's not schoolwork, it's not work, it's an attitude towards life.

As the saying goes, those who are close to Zhu are red, those who are close to ink are black, and things are gathered by like, and people and groups are divided.

Qiao Yuan felt that she might have encountered a bright light in her life, and she was unconsciously influenced by the couple, which made her have a change from the inside out.

This change is not explicit, but implicit.

Perhaps it will only be many years later that she will truly realize what she has learned as a waitress here......

Although the business of the teahouse does not need to hire waiters, it is obviously impossible for Chen Xi to drive people away directly.

Therefore, when Qiao Yuan repeatedly promised that she would not miss her homework, Chen Xi handed over the key to the teahouse to her.

In the future, she will be the big shopkeeper here.

……

An ordinary and leisurely day has passed.

After Qiao Yuan took the time to go to school and pull her suitcase, she moved into the courtyard again.

As soon as she stepped through the weeping flower door, she saw the huge fish tank, and the big cat lying on the fish tank and constantly 'meowing' into the tank.

Every time the big cat barked, the big head spit out a series of bubbles as if in response.

A fish and a cat are communicating in a way that humans can't understand at all.

'This is an anglerfish, isn't it?'

The first time she saw this fish, such a question appeared in Qiao Yuan's mind.

If she's not mistaken, anglerfish shouldn't have scales, right?

This fish......

What kind of fish is it exactly?

Why does it always feel weird?

Although Qiao Yuan felt a little strange, she didn't ask anything.

She has already made up her mind, and in the future, she will follow the boss well, watch more, learn more, and do more.

Although she was just a teahouse waiter, when she held the key to the teahouse, there was still a fighting spirit in her heart for no reason......

Calm and indifferent life is just repeated.

Time flickered, and summer entered in a blink of an eye.

This morning.

Taking advantage of the little guy's efforts to feed the fish on the plate, Chen Xi quietly came to her, and then asked mysteriously: "Nian Nian, come, Dad asks you a question...... Do you know what tomorrow will be?"

Hearing this, the little guy tilted his head and thought for a moment.

But she thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with a reason, so she shook her head woodenly.

"Think again?"

Chen Xi asked again.

But the little creature shook his head again.

There was no way, Chen Xi had to cough lightly and prompted: "Today is May 5th......"

Hearing this, the little guy still didn't seem to react, and the expression on his face looked very cute.

“……”

Chen Xi was silent.

Then, he suddenly raised his hands, like a child, and shouted very exaggeratedly: "Today is your birthday!

Birthday?

The little guy was visibly stunned for a moment, then turned around as if nothing had happened, and continued to throw the minced meat into the fish tank.

The big head opened its bloody mouth, and happily spun in circles in the water with each piece of minced meat it swallowed.

The big cat is lying next to it, and from time to time it will poke its head out and grab a piece of meat to eat, which makes the big head so angry that his mouth is bubbling.

This situation made Chen Xi stunned.

Weird.

Isn't that right......

But after thinking about it, Chen Xi understood what was going on with the little guy.

So, he immediately picked up the little guy by the waist without saying anything, and pecked her little face fiercely, then laughed and said: "Nian Nian, go, Dad will accompany you for your birthday today!
