Four. Crazy words of crazy women
At 9 a.m., I was woken up by a shouting sound. A bunch of people were arguing under the window, and when the curtains were opened, a woman in her sixties who had appeared more than once before was standing downstairs, talking something quickly and looking very emotional. I don't know if it's because she speaks too fast or because her accent is too strong, I didn't understand what she was saying for a while. And Pantene, who has always looked calm, stood by her side, trying hard to stabilize her emotions, looking like a wronged little daughter-in-law. The people around them looked at them curiously and stopped to watch the excitement.
After Pantene whispered something in her ear, the woman muttered a few complaints. At this time, Xiao Tian's car stopped, and Pantene coaxed her and stuffed her into the back seat of the car. The other person in the back seat had already grabbed her the moment she entered. vaguely looks like a stretch friend. Soon, the car drove towards the outside of the community.
"It's all scattered, it's all scattered, there's nothing to see." Pantene raised her voice slightly, obviously not very satisfied with those aunts who love to watch the excitement. Convinced that the men were gone, she hurried away.
I remember the last time I saw the woman who looked a little crazy, about two years ago, right? The woman almost said that she was not doing well, married her husband who was not angry, and was dragged down by him all her life, ruining her whole life. That's a curse on her husband by a woman who is not in a happy marriage, right? Later, I learned that her husband had died almost half a year ago. Perhaps it was because of her lack of clarity, or the irreconcilable contradiction between reality and fantasy, that she insisted on saying so.
She and Pantene seem to be a little related, but no one seems to be able to say what the relationship between the two is, maybe they are distant relatives, right? I've only seen her twice this year. There was once a good aunt who inquired about Pantene, but Pantene, who had always been smiling and welcoming, quietly gave them a dismount, and after that, no matter how strong the gossip heart of those people was, they couldn't find out anything from her mouth. A popular opinion among the aunts in the community that the woman was Pantene's mother-in-law, otherwise, how could she be so unkind to the woman?
Everyone has their own secrets, and I'm not bored enough to ask Pantene about that. I think she is a very face-loving person, and she cares more about what others say about her, so when the knock on the door rang, I didn't respond, pretending that I was still sleeping. Maybe she just wanted to know if I saw the scene before? Sure enough, after three knocks on the door, I heard the sound of going upstairs.
At 10 o'clock, I showed up at the door of Pantene's house on time with the gifts I had prepared, to see if I could help. As if she didn't remember anything that had happened, Pantene warmly beckoned me to sit down and greeted me politely. And Xiao Tian, who didn't look very good-looking, also had a smile on his face.
"I'm the first to come, right? So I'll see, is there anything I can do to help? I spoke to Pantene, who was busy in the kitchen.
Pantene shook her hand: "No, you just sit there." I think someone will come in a moment. I don't know how to cook, I'm not as capable as Zhao Xiaochan, so it's all takeout, as long as I make good tea. I thought you'd come a little later, but you didn't get a good rest for a weekend? ”
Looking at her thoughtful expression, it was obvious that she was asking me if I had seen that unexpected excitement before. In order to reassure her, I hurriedly said, "I slept late last night and almost overslept." I just got up, cleaned up and hurried over. I'm so close, it would be too much to say if I was still late. ”
Pantene was clearly pleased with my answer, and she nodded, and was about to say something more when the doorbell rang. A woman in a pale green dress, shawl hair, and a bag slung over her shoulder walked in, she looked at me, stuck out her tongue and said, "Oops, I'm late!" I thought I was the first to arrive. Sister Tingting...... The...... It can't be the female detective you are talking about, right? ”
"She is Fang Qing!" Pantene came to the door with a smile, pointed to the person who came and said to me, "Her name is Biki, you can call her Kiki, you two are about the same age." She's our happy baby, and with her, no matter what you play, it's very exciting. You two can just talk. ”
Xiao Tian didn't speak, just glanced at Biqi, and was busy preparing food and things for Pantene. And I, I thought I could take it a little easier, but I never expected that Becky took my hand and started asking non-stop. Sure enough, I was so enthusiastic that I couldn't resist it, and it seemed that Pantene's previous reminder was not wrong, and I had indeed become the focus of attention here.
Around 11 o'clock, people came one after another. In order, they are Yu Kexin, who has short hair, white clothes on his upper body, and black sweatpants; She was followed by a white, thin stretch of friends with glasses on his face; The last one to appear is dressed in casual clothes, walking with a high fly, he is not tall, but he looks imposing, and it is impossible to ignore his presence. At 11:10 a.m., Xu Ying brought a snack over.
"What about Sister Xueman? Why didn't she come? Is there something delayed? Pantene asked carefully after taking the snacks from the incubator.
Xu Ying sighed: "Today is very busy, she can't leave at all." I can't stop here, I have to rush back right away. Sister Man said, I will make it up to you next time. ”
"Then it's settled." Pantene smiled and handed the money to Xu Ying and said, "Don't just say forget it when the time comes." ”
A rectangular table was soon filled with a variety of dishes, and the dim sum was temporarily set aside to be eaten after the meal. Seven people, ten courses, one soup, a veritable sumptuous dinner. The dishes were ordered from a well-known hotel nearby, and the cutlery was set up by Pantene after we had crossed the water in the kitchen. With the exception of dishes, chopsticks are disposable. According to Pantene, it was because she and Xiao Tian were only at home on weekdays, and there were only two pairs of chopsticks, and they didn't have time to buy them for a while, so they could only use disposable chopsticks. A seemingly warm dinner, I don't know why, I faintly feel uncomfortable, maybe it's because of Becky's attitude, a little too enthusiastic, right? I always felt like she had something on her mind, just barely trying to make herself look happy.
