Chapter 42: The Vicious Dog (2)
Tang Song heard Mo Bei's door closing, he looked at the bed and waited for a few minutes, then took out his mobile phone and made a call.
It's really late now, it took a long time to connect there, and his voice was sleepy and unstoppable, and he was a little unhappy: "Officer Tang, wouldn't it be inappropriate to call someone so late?" ”
"I'm sorry, although it's not appropriate, but there are some things that have to disturb your rest," Tang Song looked at the opposite wall and tried his best to lower his voice, "Ms. Xiao, please meet with Mo Bei." ”
There was a laugh from the other end, and the clothes rubbed against the quilt and made a soft sound, it seemed that Xiao Yan sat up from the bed, and she said unhurriedly: "In what capacity do you ask us to meet?" ”
Tang Song was silent, his eyes gradually became dark, and he was still polite: "What identity do you want me to be when you give me the number?" ”
Xiao Yan didn't shy away: "But I didn't let you call me at two o'clock in the morning." ”
Tang Song couldn't help but have a headache, the other party was both an elder and Mo Bei's mother, and he didn't know why he was aggressive.
Since Xiao Yan took the initiative to avoid the meeting between mother and daughter during the day, he tried to try his luck, thinking that mother and daughter would always be similar, but he didn't expect Xiao Yan to be so difficult.
has been with Mo Bei for a long time, which makes him a little unaccustomed to talking and twisting and turning.
He gave up: "Sorry, goodbye. ”
"Wait a minute," Xiao Yan stopped him, and when he spoke again, he didn't have his original comfortable posture, but was a little timid, "What will happen if I don't come?" ”
"It's not going to happen, she won't take it to heart when she gets up tomorrow," he said, not knowing if she's weak, his voice sounding a little unkind, "but she misses you now." ”
……
Mo Bei got up very early, took a toothbrush and unpacked the milk and put it in the microwave, and when he turned around, he was startled by Tang Song at the door, and blinked his eyes in a daze.
"Wake up so early? Running? He reached out and took out the hot milk and laid it on the board.
Mo Bei shook her head, it was really unsightly to hold a toothbrush, she walked past him sideways, went into the bathroom and washed her face before coming out to explain to him: "My mother just called, saying that she is coming, and someone has already gotten off at the station, let me pick her up." ”
She really doesn't have the sadness and depression she had last night, and she recounted things calmly, but the action of drinking the milk in two sips revealed that she was actually a little anxious.
Tang Song glanced at the time, and wanted to say that I will send you, but after a pause, the words became "Be careful on the road." ”
"Hmm."
"...... mouth," he pointed to the corners of his mouth, which she drank too fast and the corners of her mouth were stained with milk.
She wiped it with the back of her hand and naturally tilted her head to let him look again.
He smiled, "It's clean." ”
Mo Bei washed his hands, grabbed the mobile phone next to the pool, stuffed it into his pocket, and walked out quickly.
In October, the osmanthus blossoms bloom, the air is cool, and there is a strong fragrance that will make people think of how sweet this fragrance is in food.
Mo Bei caught the first bus, and there were not many people on the bus.
She picked a position by the window and opened a gap in the glass, the sweet wind slightly covered the smell of the car, and the discomfort of motion sickness was less.
The car drove on the Fengjiang Bridge, the sun shone on the water, in the middle of the river, the water color was dark green, no waves and no waves, like a piece of warm jasper.
It's hard to see the mountains in the city, and the sun rises high in the sky from behind the tall buildings, shining on the water, and the waves of light are extremely dazzling.
Mo Bei narrowed her eyes, her head rested against the iron bars raised horizontally on the car window, the wheels ran over the road, slightly jolting, she felt relieved and sleepy with the vibration.
As the stop sign on the train gradually approached the station, she unconsciously sat up straight, a little nervous about the upcoming meeting.
Xiao Yan sat on the bench at the stop sign, and Mo Bei saw her as soon as he got off the train.
When she saw people, she found that she was not as nervous as she thought, and she was timidly thrown off the road, and she walked over in a few steps.
"Mom," Mo Bei looked down at Xiao Yan, his eyes blinked slightly, and he felt the words in his lips and teeth, and he picked and chose to say a less beautiful and intimate sentence, "You came so early." ”
Xiao Yan couldn't help laughing, she stood up and reached out to touch Mo Bei's head, Mo Bei grew up so fast that she had to tiptoe if she didn't stick close when she stroked it.
Her fingers slowly slid from the top of Mo Bei's head to her cheeks, her thumb stroked her slightly emaciated bones, and her voice became a little hoarse: "A little fatter." ”
The corners of the mouth are fleshy, the eye sockets are a little plump, and they no longer look so fierce because they look too high on the brow bones.
Xiao Yan held her face and kept caressing, her eye circles turned red uncontrollably, she sniffed, and hugged her daughter, who was so fast that she was about to break away before the tears collapsed.
"Little bastard! You won't give in to us first......"
"I'm sorry." Mo Bei gently patted her back.
Mo Bei always thought that the person who hugged and hugged and surrounded his arms was taking on the role of a strong man.
Holding Xiao Yan is completely different from holding Zhu Xi.
She opened her arms to Zhu Xi and embraced all the pain, which had worn her all night.
She still hugged Xiao Yan with a protective attitude, but it was Xiao Yan who made her sorrow disappear.
Xiao Yan sorted out her emotions and asked to go to her school.
Mo Bei took her for a walk, the sports meeting was at the end of the period, many people were like arrows, and the playground was no longer as lively as the previous two days.
"I heard from my uncle, did you report 3,000 meters and run?"
"Ran away." Yesterday's incident was suppressed by both the gluttonous ghost and the school, and very little information was revealed, not too many people were affected, and even very few people knew about it.
Mo Bei didn't need to think about Xiao Yan talking about those frightening pasts: "I haven't run them." ”
"Oh." Xiao Yanquan didn't know, nodded and skipped this.
"You're moving out, have you found a house?"
Mo Bei's footsteps were stagnant, and she finally had to face this question, she didn't know how to answer, so she could only hum first: "Found it." ”
Xiao Yan sighed again, but he didn't mean to dig deeper, just said: "Just find it, lock the door at home at night, don't stay outside too late." ”
"Well," Mo Bei solemnly agreed, "I know." ”
After lunch, Mo Bei sent Xiao Yan to the station and watched her walk into the waiting hall and gradually be overwhelmed by the crowd.
She stood outside for a long time before leaving, returning to Tang Song's house.
The greening of the community is good, there are many osmanthus trees planted in the central park, and several women of different ages are picking osmanthus flowers with baskets and bags.
Mo Bei smelled the fragrance in the air, and suddenly had an urge to laugh, so she hooked the corners of her mouth and hurriedly put her head down, so as not to make people think of a fool.
She ran home and got a basket down, picked a tree with few people, and joined the ranks of picking flowers.
However, the people around were still attracted to it.
There are a lot of people who pick flowers, there are big and young, but few are as big as her, girls of this age want to save face, most of them are embarrassed to come with a basket, at most they will break a branch, and they are afraid of people looking around in a hurry like a joke.
The second is because of her approach.
If you want to eat osmanthus, you have to be clean, pick and wash, it takes a lot of effort, and it is difficult to do this without the patience of some age blessing.
From picking one thing, it's very troublesome.
But Mo Bei was relaxed, holding the basket under his left hand, and he didn't know how his right hand was operating, it seemed that he just patted the flower branch gently, and the osmanthus laces on the top fell into the basket in a flutter.
All the way down, what Mobei needs to worry about is to find the next flower branch.
Her magical tricks provoked the aunt next to her to look at her frequently, and finally couldn't help but come over.
"Sister, you ...... How do you get it? Why can't I shoot it? ”
"......" Mo Bei hesitated for a long time, not knowing how to explain his opening, "Probably ...... Trick it. ”
The aunt learned to shoot the flower branches in front of her, and some of them fell, but not as much as her, just the ordinary amount.
Mo Bei knocked like rain.
Fortunately, the aunt didn't bother much about this matter, but she didn't leave, and followed her to talk to her: "I haven't seen you before, the new tenant?" Where to stay? ”
"24 buildings and one unit." Mo Bei said.
"We live in a building," the aunt said excitedly, "what are you going to do when you pick this osmanthus flower?" ”
"I don't know," Mo Bei hadn't thought about it yet, "I saw that you were all picking, and I wanted to join in the fun." ”
"In this way, this is pickled in sugar for a few days, and the steamed rice cakes are delicious, will you make them? I'll give you some of the households you live in. ”
Auntie always has an end note when she speaks, which sounds warm and kind, and people can't help but want to get closer and relax.
Mo Bei told the house number.
Aunt actually knew, and suddenly realized: "That's Xiao Tang's home, are you his girlfriend?" ”
"It's not." Landlords and tenants only.
The aunt couldn't figure out why she wanted to live together instead of boyfriend and girlfriend, so she pouted and didn't ask again.
The two of them walked around the garden, and were about to leave when a slight scratching sound suddenly came from the vent in the corner of the house behind them.
The aunt was frightened, groaned, and leaned down to look: "What is it?" ”
Mo Bei put the basket on the ground, turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone, squatted down and tilted his head to look inside.
The voice only rang for a while, and then it didn't come out again, Mo Bei squatted and watched for a long time, but he didn't see anything, and was about to stand up, when suddenly a little black cat fell out of the corner and barked angrily.
It was as big as a mouse, its eyes were still blue, and it stared at Mo Bei timidly, and its back hair exploded little by little.
Suddenly, a white cat of the same size popped out of the corner, and at once pounced on the little black cat, and the two cats screamed and ran into the depths of the vent.
The aunt straightened up: "It turned out to be a cat, there are more and more kittens in the community, and when it gets cold in the future, you can always see them freezing to death." ”
Mo Bei also stood up, patted the broken blades of grass on his knees, and turned around to see Tang Song walking slowly on the path.
Tang Song also saw the two of them and walked over.
"What are you doing here?" When he saw the basket on the ground, he recognized it as his own, and when he saw that it was twice as much as others, he couldn't help but be happy, "What are you going to eat at night?" ”
Mo Bei glanced at him to mock him for being unheard: "Where is the food that can be eaten immediately?" ”
Tang Song was not angry, he said goodbye to his aunt and walked back with Mo Bei.
"What are you going to eat?"
"I don't know ......"
The aunt only heard some details from a distance, and shook her head with a sigh.
"Young man, you still don't recognize ......"
