Chen Chi turned off the computer, got up and walked to the bathroom to take a look, sure enough, Xu Shuanghua still didn't use the bath towel he prepared, he took it out, but he didn't get close to the bed, but threw it directly and said, "Shuangshuang, then." ”

Xu Shuangchuan stood at the head of the bed and subconsciously reached out to catch it.

"Go to the radiator and dry your hair again. Chen Chi smiled and went straight into the bathroom.

Xu Shuangchuan listened to the door of the bathroom close, sat on the edge of the bed and exhaled, wiping the ends of his hair with a bath towel.

After a while, the phone rang.

Xu Shuangchuan was stunned for a moment, opened her backpack and took out her mobile phone, just a glance, her heart was lifted, and a long list of numbers was displayed on the screen.

"Hey?" she asked, panicking.

"Frosty, it's Mommy. ”

"Mom. Xu Shuangchuan immediately shouted, "Why are you calling at this time? You can't sleep again?"

"No, your father's unit has a big inventory at the end of the year, he has a heavy sense of responsibility, and the big leader above said that Director Xu has worked hard, and he can't wait to be a cow and a horse, and he goes to work an hour early every day these days, so I have to make breakfast for him in advance. ”

Xu Shuangchuan frowned: "Mom, you ask Dad to pay attention to his body." ”

"Isn't it, he can be so active without overtime pay. Xu's mother complained, "Your father is too real, and when others say two good things about him, they can call him around." I'm embarrassed to tell me that the management doesn't count overtime, you see, your dad is so foolish. ”

Xu Shuang lowered her head, a little worried, and a little funny, she knew her father, and her mother was not wrong at all, because that's how her mother called her father.

"Mom, it's only four o'clock when you're there, you don't need to make breakfast in advance, you don't need to be so much in advance, and you have to pay attention to your own body. ”

Her daughter's words made Xu's mother feel as sweet as honey.

"Now the business in the store is deserted, and my mother has time to sleep during the day. Mother Xu said indifferently, and set up a home routine for her daughter, "Your father is still asleep, I got up to go to the toilet, and went to the kitchen to take a look." When people get older, they just can't do it, and my mother wants to boil porridge for your dad to drink overnight, but it turns out that the red bean barley in the rice cooker is put in well, but I forgot to plug it in. ”

Xu Shuangchuan giggled, only to hear her mother still chattering: "I'll boil porridge for your father, and I won't sleep at all, calculate your time, I guess you haven't slept yet." Frost, did your mother wake you up? It's cold to get up at night to answer the phone. ”

"Mom, I haven't slept yet. You've just gotten up yourself, so you'll need to dress more. ”

"Well, Mom wears a lot. Mother Xu suddenly said, "Shuangshuang, you wait a minute, Mom goes and closes the faucet." ”

After three or four seconds, Xu Shuangchuan heard her mother say on the phone, "Hey, Shuangshuang." ”

"Mom, did you forget to turn off the faucet?"

"No, I heard Grandma Wang in the community say that she makes the faucet open a small crack every night, and she can receive a small half bucket of water in one night, and she will not pump the water when flushing the toilet, and she can scoop a scoop, which is much more saving than using the water in the toilet tank. I think it makes sense, don't everyone advocate environmental protection and water conservation. In the past two days, I have also received water at night, and your father is the most annoying, so he turns off the faucet before going to bed. When I got up and thought that it was still early, I turned on the faucet and picked it up for a while, and when I was talking to you just now, I kept hearing the sound of water dripping at the bottom of the bucket, which was very loud, and it made people feel uneasy to speak, so I simply went to turn it off and didn't answer. ”

After listening to this, Xu Shuangchuan didn't know what to say about her mother: "Mom, Grandma Wang is old, and some habits can't be changed, what do you learn from her." You want to save, obviously you just want to rub more water. ”

Mother Xu was told by her daughter that she was thinking through her thoughts, and said angrily: "You child." ”

"Mom, I'll do the math for you. Xu Shuangchuan since the club to accompany her mother shopping, has seen a little bit of her mother's hard-working kindness hidden in some of the small flaws that make people laugh and cry, her mother seems to be able to run the house, but can always do irrational things, such as a small bag of four red plums for the ride, the ripe watermelon to buy home, but also according to other people's regulations, one buy two, in the end the red plum is sour, the big watermelon is sandy.

Her mother didn't realize it, and Xizizi showed to the father and daughter: "Red Brin is free today." ”

"Mom, you just call it Lizi. "Xu Shuang looked at it and turned his teeth sour," Brin is the English homonym for plum. ”

The father and daughter of the Xu family have some opinions about the head of the family, and as Xu Shuang gets a little older, they will occasionally talk to their mother. Xu's mother doesn't pay much attention to her husband's subtleties, but her daughter will listen to the truth she tells her.

"Mom, if you turn on the faucet for a night, you can get a bucket of water, and how many liters can you have? Thirty days a month, you can't get a ton of water, how much is a ton of water now?" Xu Shuangchuan said helplessly, "Mom, you're not saving at all." If you keep the faucet open like this, the faucet is easy to break, and now how much does it cost to replace the faucet with a good one?"

As long as Xu Shuangchuan opened the formation like this and calculated the application problems for her mother, her mother was usually convinced immediately. "Oh, Frost, you still think about it, and you won't receive water in the future. ”

"Mom, is the family okay?" Xu Shuangchuan asked tremblingly, her mother had saved herself like this.

"Okay, it's still the same. Mother Xu said excitedly, "When I go back, I met Grandma Wang, and tell her what you said, Grandma Wang is at home, and it is a troublesome matter to break the faucet." ”

Xu Shuangchuan listened to her mother's tone, and knew that the matter of rubbing water in the middle of the night was purely a life hack that her mother inadvertently learned from the neighborhood, and it had nothing to do with the family's economic situation.

"Frost, mom told you a bunch of nonsense, I haven't asked you yet, what did you eat today?"

Xu Shuangchuan obediently reported: "Mom, I ate wontons today. ”

"Oh, there are still wontons sold in the supermarket?" said her mother.

"No, it's a classmate's bag. ”

"Your classmate is very capable, Frostshuang, have you covered it?"

"I've got it too, Mom, I'm also very capable. Xu Shuangchuan boasted.

Her mother was amused by her and laughed: "Frost is more capable than before, and my mother can also relax a little." Her mother's voice changed a little as she spoke, but she quickly asked with great interest, "Frostshuang, how many of your classmates get together to make wontons at Christmas?"

"yes. Xu Shuang's heart jumped and said with a dry smile.

"Do you foreigners make wontons?" her mother asked in amazement.

"No, our Chinese class reunion. Xu Shuangchuan explained.

The door of the bathroom opened, and Chen Chi walked out of it with his bare feet and wet hair, and looked at Xu Shuang when he heard the sound. (To be continued.) )
