Chapter 8 Li Miao's Little Friend
Because it is not due, it will be a holiday after the parent-teacher meeting, Li Miao's textbooks and other school supplies have long been taken back to the house, so the table is empty, Li Miao's table mate is also a little boy, called Fu Yinuo, different from Li Miao's liveliness and agility, Fu Yinuo is a child who looks well-behaved and delicate, and even a little pale and thin.
The two children had a good relationship, and they went out to play hand in hand, because the parent-teacher meeting had not yet started, Xia Luo and Fu Yinuo's father, who had introduced each other just now, and the man named Fu Zhuozhao had a conversation. Fu Zhuozhao is a gentleman and an elegant man, and he is a scholar.
The first time the two met, there was nothing else to say, but since they were both here to attend the parent-teacher conference, there was an eternal topic - children.
To be honest, Xia Luo had heard the name of Fu Yinuo's child, and in the occasional chatter between the mother and son, Li Miao had mentioned his tablemate a few times, but the little guy had a lot of children, and often mentioned the names of different people, and Xia Luo didn't care much about it.
But chatting with Fu Zhuozhao today, she learned that her son is actually a daily mention of other children, and even she, a mother, is honored to become a 'big man in other people's mouths' - the two children often eat lunch together, and the generous Li Miao often shares the braised pork ribs made by her mother with Fu Yinuo's children.
"Xiaonuo often says that the braised pork ribs made by Li Miao's mother are delicious, and I have heard so much that even I am a little salivating." The elegant man's face was sincere.
Xia Luo smiled, followed modestly, "Where is the delicious food I make, children, they always think that the apples in other people's hands are a little bigger." ”
Fu Zhuozhao smiled, changed the topic, and began to talk about the child's academic performance, "Miao Miao's academic performance has improved a lot, listen to Xiaonuo, he has worked hard recently." ”
"Hmm!" Xia Luo's eyes lit up, "Miao Miao has been very sensible recently, I didn't expect him to make such a big improvement, but compared to Xiao Nuo, it is much worse." She had already looked at the report card, and Fu Yinuo's children's grades were all one hundred.
Fu Zhuozhao shook his head with a wry smile, "The child is young now, the homework is relatively simple, learning is not the most important, I am actually a little worried about Xiaonuo, he is a little autistic, he has few friends, not as cheerful as your family Miao Miao, he is healthy and energetic at a glance, that is what a child should look like." ”
Xia Luo suddenly remembered Fu Yinuo's pale and thin appearance, and nodded in agreement, "Xiao Nuo does look a little too white and too thin." ”
Fu Zhuozhao hurriedly spoke, "So I want to ask Miao Miao to bring more Xiaonuo when she goes out to play in the future, so that he can run and jump more, Xiaonuo has been close to your Miao Miao so far." ”
Xia Luo suddenly, pity the hearts of parents all over the world, which pair of parents is not dedicated to the sake of their children, this Fu Zhuozhao's style, at first glance, is a successful person, for his son such a low profile, it is also rare.
In the future, Xia Luo nodded and agreed without the slightest hesitation, and Fu Yinuo had good grades and was well-behaved, and she didn't have anything to worry about her son getting along with him, "In the future, if I have time, let Xiaonuo often come to the house to play, and the two children will write homework and kick football together, and when the time comes, I will also make braised pork ribs for him." ”
"Thank you so much if you could do that." Fu Zhuozhao was overjoyed, even his brows stretched a little, and his tone was a little excited.
The man had been smiling since they met, but at this moment, Xia Luo felt a hint of sincerity from it.
The parent-teacher meeting began soon, and to Xia Luo's surprise, the teacher really praised Li Miao, although Li Miao's current grades are still not very good, but the huge progress and serious learning attitude are deeply gratified by the teacher who used to give him a headache, and the most important thing is that he has not fought for a long time.
The parent-teacher meeting ended in the process of the teacher's constant praise and criticism, and many children on the playground were playing a little absent-mindedly, they didn't know what the teacher would say to their parents, whether they would sue, whether they would tell their parents about their various 'evil deeds' at school, and then their parents would come home and reward themselves with a meal of fried meat with bamboo shoots?
The school building full of parents is like a demon's castle at this time, exuding an evil aura. The little ones who usually love to play the most are the most frightened at this time.
The friends who usually mess around with Li Miao were in an anxious and nervous atmosphere, and they didn't have much to play for a while, Li Miao felt very bored, so she had to pull Fu Yinuo, who had good grades and didn't need to be nervous, to play.
At the end of the parent-teacher meeting, Xia Luo and Fu Zhuozhao walked out together, and the two quickly found their children among the many children.
Xia Luo turned his head to look at Fu Zhuozhao, only to see a trace of excitement and relief flashing on his face, and his smile was extremely gentle.
The two children also quickly discovered them, Li Miao rushed to this side, Xia Luo hurriedly took two steps forward, squatted down/body, and opened his arms to catch the child, Li Miao giggled in her arms, Xia Luo rubbed his head petfully, stood up and took his little hand and walked out of the campus with Fu Zhuozhao and his son.
The two of them are not in the same direction, they waved goodbye to each other when they left the school gate, before leaving, Xia Luo squatted down/leaned and said to Fu Yinuo with a smile: "In the future, I will have time to come to my house to play with Miao Miao, I bought him a new small football, you can play together, and I not only make braised pork ribs delicious, I am good at braised pork and braised fish, you will often come to play in the future, I will do the same for you." ”
Fu Yinuo's face instantly had an excited look, "Really? Aunt Xiexie! The child was still a little shy when he smiled, but he couldn't suppress the excitement.
Xia Luo smiled and nodded, exchanged phone numbers with Fu Zhuozhao, and then led Li Miao in the direction of home.
On the way back, Xia Luo relayed the teacher's praise for him, and he fully expressed his affirmation, Li Miao was very happy, and the smile on his face never fell.
The little one's happy long vacation has begun, but Li Miao's child has a lot of self-control, and he doesn't spend all his time playing, in addition to doing homework seriously, he also automatically extends the time to practice calligraphy and help his mother work.
In addition, the little guy also filled in a new hobby, that is, stir-frying, but he will only fry one, that is, the plate of mushroom roasted tofu, since then, he pestered his mother to make it a few more times, and now he doesn't need Xia Luo to command by the side, he can make it as delicious as his mother. In this regard, Li Miao's children expressed great pride.
Fu Zhuozhao's phone call came on the third day after the holiday, the two of them simply said a few words, and then gave the phone to their children, the two children chattered about their words, Zuihou agreed to go to Xia Luo's house to play the next afternoon, and then returned the phone to the adults.
Fu Zhuozhao solemnly thanked Xia Luo on the phone, Xia Luo was busy saying that he didn't dare to be, Fu Zhuozhao asked the address of Xia Luo's house, and said a few more polite words, and the two hung up the phone.
Li Miao was obviously very happy that a child was going to play at home, and kept discussing with her mother what to entertain her little guests, and said that she must let him make a plate of his 'best dishes' for dinner, so that his children could open their eyes.
Xia Luo listened with a smile, occasionally helping him to complete his 'hospitality jihua'.
The next day, after the two finished selling their meals, they went to buy the fruit snacks that they said yesterday, Li Miao kept fiddling/playing with the toys that had been taken out yesterday, and the house was running around excitedly. Charo didn't care about him, and he didn't blame him for being excited, judging from Susie's memory, this should be the first time that a little guest belonging to him came to the house, the first time, it's normal to be excited.
The same excitement as Li Miao seems to be Fu Yinuo's children, the two children who had played together two days ago seemed to be reunited after a long absence, Xia Luo wanted to laugh, Fu Zhuozhao also smiled briskly, the two little guys went to Li Miao's small room together, and there were only two adults left in the small living room.
The already small living room was even more cramped because it was filled with an adult man, Susie obviously didn't think about entertaining guests when she rented the house, and there was not even a comfortable chair in the room, Fu Zhuozhao could only sit on the bench where they usually ate, and a casual suit that was worth a lot of money at first glance was a shabby wooden bench, which was really aggrieved.
Charolio was embarrassed for two seconds before letting go, she said to Fu Zhuozhao with an apologetic face but a frank expression: "The cold house is shabby, please bear with me." ”
Fu Zhuozhao smiled sincerely, "Where, this room is clean, warmly furnished, and full of the smell of home as soon as you come in, which makes people feel very comfortable." In fact, Fu Zhuozhao was also very surprised when he entered this simple and narrow house, that day at the parent-teacher meeting, he saw Xia Luo and Li Miao's dress and Xia Luo's good conversation, thinking that their family should be quite wealthy, but he never expected them to live in such an environment.
However, Fu Zhuozhao is a person who has been in the business world for so many years, his face is not revealed, he is still a gentle text, he looks at the house quietly, there are many scratches but the extremely bright floor, a look at the table legs to know the extremely old dining table, the dining table is spread with an extremely delicate pastoral style floral tablecloth, and there is a pot of small green potted plants, the breeze blows, the small potted plants swaying and swinging, with a unique fragrance of grass, the small folding bed / the sheets on the top are blue gingham, It's very similar to the bed in the dormitory of college students, the quilt is neatly folded, and there are a few books next to the pillow, and the top one is vaguely "Zero-based English".
This room doesn't look like there is a male host, Fu Zhuozhao was thoughtful, but he didn't ask much, he looked at the time and got up to say goodbye, "I have another meeting in the afternoon, I will say goodbye first, Xiaonuo is still the first time to be a guest in someone else's house alone, if there is something naughty, call me." ”
Charo nodded, and after saying goodbye to his son, he sent him out the door.
After squeezing two glasses of fresh juice for the two children and sending them in, Charlo began to get busy with her own business - the children were seriously writing their homework together, and they didn't need too much supervision from her.
The two children have written their homework for a while, probably completed today's task, have put away their homework books, and began to play and play, from time to time there are childish laughter, in this quiet summer afternoon, it seems to be beautiful.
Happy time always flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it's time to eat dinner, Xia Luo made braised pork ribs, dry pot baby cabbage, refreshing fungus, crucian carp and tofu soup, and prepared the ingredients that Li Miao wanted to use, and called the children.
Under Fu Yinuo's admiring gaze, Li Miao proudly made his specialty dish - roasted tofu with mushrooms.
During the meal, Li Miao kept picking up the dishes he made for Fu Yinuo, Fu Yinuo glanced at the mushroom tofu that was almost stacked into a hill in his bowl, and then looked at the braised pork ribs, which was quite pitiful and pitiful.
Xia Luo couldn't help laughing, and tapped Li Miao's forehead with his finger, "Is there anything like you!" Only serve vegetables to guests, not meat! After speaking, she picked up two pieces of pork ribs and put them on the top of the pointed bowl, to see if there was any regression in Auntie's craftsmanship.
Fu Yinuo suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief, picked up the ribs with a smile and took a bite, his eyes narrowed into a slit, as if he was extremely satisfied, he nodded loudly, "Auntie's cooking is so delicious!"
Li Miao touched her nose wryly, and finally stopped selling his dishes wildly.
