Chapter Twenty-Seven: Sweethearts Are Not Bitter
When Tian Mi arrived home, Tian Chuan had already returned, and Tan had already gotten up and was cooking in the kitchen.
Today was different from usual, the dinner table was dull, there was not a trace of laughter, and everyone bowed their heads to eat their own, looking preoccupied.
"I'm full, mother, Brother Xuan, you eat slowly." Tian Chuan pushed the rice bowl, lowered his head, and walked back to the room in a few steps as if he naturally covered his slightly bruised handsome face.
In his bowl, there was still half a bowl of rice left, and in normal times, there would not be even a grain of rice.
Tan Shi looked at his back worriedly, remembering his recent silence, goodbye to the thin shoulders slightly bent, the back arched, the young age, there was a bit of depression, her heart was inexplicable.
"Eat." She smiled reluctantly, avoiding her daughter's probing gaze, and lowered her head and lifted her chopsticks one by one.
After the long dinner, Tan went into the kitchen to wash the dishes and chopsticks, Tian Mi played for a while, returned to the hall, and saw that Qiao Xuan was still sitting there, so he also returned to his position, supporting his head with one hand, tilting his body, and tapping his fingers on the table again and again.
What is going on every day? Tian Mi sighed in her heart.
Suddenly, a light laugh broke the chaotic beat of her hands, and someone laughed and said, "Don't you have such a high mouth?" ”
Ask while knowing the answer. Tian Mi glanced at him and did not answer.
Qiao Xuan was not annoyed, he stretched out his hand, sent something to her, smiled lightly, and said softly: "Oh, this, for you." ”
Tian Mi looked at it, slowly sat up straight, her eyes widened, her amber eyes were full of curiosity, and she looked inquiringly at the big clean and slender hand in front of her.
A small and delicate candy lay in the shape of a small man in his wide palm, white and pink, delicate and flawless, grinning widely, and smiling very festively, and the smile seemed to be infectious, and people couldn't help but grin with it.
"Can you eat this?" Cautiously stretching out a short finger and pointing at the sugar man in the air, her big bright eyes were unusually focused, and she took it from his hand like a treasure, held it in front of her eyes and studied it carefully, and finally came to the conclusion: "You can't eat this." ”
How 'desperate and hungry' do you have to be willing to eat such a cute villain?
"If you don't eat it, it will melt." Qiao Xuan saw her rare little appearance, and suddenly wanted to reach out and touch her little black head, so he couldn't hold back, he tightened his fingers, smiled slightly, and said, "Taste it, if it's sweet in your mouth, it's not bitter in your heart." ”
Tian Mi listened, and immediately nodded thoughtfully, and in Qiao Xuan's unprepared eyes, she bit off half of the villain's body in one bite, and the two mouthfuls were all in her mouth, and her cheeks were bulging.
After eating, when she looked up and saw Qiao Xuan's stunned expression, she immediately grinned and gave a very festive smile, from her movements to her demeanor, it was completely similar, as if the sugar man had become one with her.
Qiao Xuanwaner.
Tian Mi stood up and ran out in two or three steps.
She went into the kitchen and saw Tan with his back to her, setting up the dishes and chopsticks. She leaned over quietly on tiptoe, suddenly hugged Tan's slender waist, poked her head over, and smiled at Tan flatteringly.
"You girl." Tan was startled, and when he saw that it was her, he gently tapped her forehead, reluctant to be disgusted, and only said with a pampered face: "The kitchen is dirty, get out quickly." ”
"Where's the dirty? My mother's house was cleaner than the average house. "Tian Mi is not just touting, Tan's work has always been meticulous and serious, everything is put away in different categories, and where to take it and put it back, so don't look at this place is small, but it is messy but not messy, neat and clean.
"Okay, yes, you say yes." Tan smiled and said, "Lai Niang won't leave, but what's the matter?" ”
"Mother, you're so smart." Tian Mi said, let go of Tan's family, and took off the purse on her waist.
After removing the two taels of silver that should have been returned to Qiao Xuan, she took out all the copper coins she earned today, held them in front of Tan with both hands, smiled and squinted, and looked like she was waiting for praise.
Tan Shi looked at the large handful of copper coins, and after being stunned for a moment, the expression on his face quickly turned to shock, and there was no sense of joy at all.
The original smile on her face gradually retracted, looked at Tian Mi, and asked in a low voice, "Where are you from?" ”
Tan's was born to deceive frost and snow, and when her face was pulled down, it was as white as snow, so white that there was no trace of blood at all, coupled with her empty and stern eyes, it was a little oozing for no reason.
Seeing this, Tian Mi didn't know why, but she felt something was wrong in her heart. She restrained her cheerful look with some uneasiness, avoided a head-on collision with her mother, lowered her head, and whispered, "Myself, earn ...... Fight with others and earn ......"
"You're going to fight someone?" Tan's face was pale, his voice was low, and every word seemed to be worn with an extremely thin silk thread, which could break at any time. She asked again: "What kind of fighting method?" Is it in front of everyone, against a large crowd? In the end, did you still win? ”
Tian Mi didn't think there was anything wrong with this, but when faced with Tan's questioning, she had a feeling that she couldn't stand on her feet, as if she had done something very wrong, which made her mother very disappointed in her.
For a moment, she pursed her lips, not knowing how to speak.
She was silent, but Tan's weak voice continued, and she stubbornly demanded an answer, "Mother asked you, is it or not?!" ”
"Yes......" Tian Mi squeezed out a word from between her teeth.
Tan's trembling hand pointed straight at the hall, as if with all his strength, and shouted in a low voice: "Get out!" Kneel down in front of my ancestors and reflect on me! ”
"Mother......" Tian Mi didn't know what she had done wrong, she looked up and wanted to refute one or two, but when she saw Tan's embarrassed face, she endured it.
The copper coin in her hand weighed a thousand pounds for a while, so she put it in her arms and slowly moved it out.
When she arrived at the door, she couldn't help but glance back, and saw Tan's slender body, supporting the edge of the water tank with both hands, panting hard, and the panting sound was thicker than the other, making people even wonder if the next sound would suddenly break.
Tian Mi didn't dare to get any closer, for fear of irritating her mother again, so she lowered her head, bit her lower lip, and walked to the hall without saying a word.
There is a shrine on the north wall of the hall, and the Tan family worships three incense sticks every day, and no matter how difficult the days are, they never fall.
Tian Mi knelt under the solemn statue, she looked up at the eyes of the god as if she had seen a qiē, and still couldn't understand what she was wrong, so she suddenly felt a little aggrieved.
Qiao Xuan had been sitting in the same place, and when he saw the girl shaking him like a fugue, he knelt on the ground in a daze, kneeling upright, bowing his back, pulling his shoulders, like a lost little old man.
This girl, you call her stupid, but she has some unheard of knowledge, but if you want to call her intelligent, you find that she doesn't even have basic common sense.
It is really strange that there is such a contradiction and yet such a coordination.
