Qi Dai went out in the morning to meet Chen Tongen in the small square, and when she went, Chen Tongen was already standing there waiting for her with her schoolbag.

"I'm sorry, I'm late." She quickly apologized.

Chen Tongen shook his head: "No, it's me who came early." ”

Qi Dai didn't look at the time, it was still early when she went out, but there was a slight traffic jam on the road for a while, and she thought she was late, "Why did you come so early?" ”

Chen Tongen was silent for a while before saying, "I'm a little nervous. ”

Chen Tongen is a single-parent family, her mother died of illness when she was very young, she has always wanted a mother, but Chen's father is worried that she is young and she often travels, and if she finds a stepmother who treats her badly, she will not dare to say anything, then the gains outweigh the losses, so she has been dragging it out.

However, not long ago, Chen's father said that he had found a new mother for her, and she was still a foreigner.

Chen Tongen's first reaction was stunned, and the second reaction was that my father actually found me a mother!

Chen's father said that foreigners don't pay so much attention to blood relationship, and the other party has been divorced for many years, with two children, the eldest son lives abroad with her husband, and the younger son lives with her in China.

However, some time ago, the eldest son also returned to China, so Chen's father thought that the two sides would have a meal together and get to know each other first.

As a result, his business partner abroad temporarily changed his time, and he had to reschedule his return to China.

Chen's father also told the other party to reschedule the meeting, but the other party said that since the time was set, they could meet Chen Tongen for dinner first.

Chen Tongen didn't really want to go alone, but her father had rarely seen the right eye for so many years, so she naturally couldn't save face.

But the other party's family was all foreigners, and she was still panicked, so she thought of Qi Dai.

"Don't be nervous later, it's okay, just say it's my friend." Chen Tongen repeatedly explained to Qi Dai.

Qi Dai smiled and said, "I'm not nervous, it's you who are nervous." ”

Chen Tongen wanted to say that she was not nervous, but she was really nervous, she stood in place and hesitated: "Why don't you wait for my dad to come back, I'm a little cowardly." ”

Qi Dai patted her shrunken back and encouraged: "Don't be cowardly! And I'll be with you. "And your brother is just a sister over there.

Chen Tongen took a deep breath and said okay, but when he walked to the door of the reserved private room, he began to coax again, "I heard that the current stepmothers are very terrible, abusing children, intimidating children, and some directly sowing discord, you said that if I just go in like this, will they ......?"

"No, it won't." Qi Dai interrupted her, "How can there be so many vicious stepmothers in the world?" Didn't teachers teach us that human nature is inherently good? ”

"But......" Chen Tongen was not finished, because the door was opened from the inside.

There was a tall man with deep facial features standing in the door, it was Xie Yanzhao himself, whom Qi Dai knew.

"You're Tong Tong?" Xie Yanzhao was the first to speak.

Chen Tongen looked at the man who was more than a head taller than herself and didn't react, Qi Dai poked her in the back, and then she swallowed her saliva and stammered back: "Yes, yes, I am...... You are? ”

Xie Yanzhao stretched out his hand: "Hello, my name is Xie Yanzhao, you can also call me...... Brother. ”

Chen Tongen blushed inexplicably, and before he could figure out how to answer, a female voice came from inside: "Johnson, is it Tong Tong?" ”

Then two footsteps followed.

Soon a pretty face came into view, the woman had golden hair, slightly fat, clear blue eyes, and looked like she was in her early thirties.

Next to her stood a seven or eight-year-old Xiao Zhengtai, whose facial features were very similar to her, but her hair was slightly biased.

Chen Tongen and Qi Dai looked at the woman and Xie Yanzhao at the same time, both wondering if these two people were actually mother and son?

Xie Yanzhao smiled and said: "Don't doubt it, I am her own child, and don't look at her young, she is actually forty-two." ”

Chen Tongen couldn't help but praise: "Auntie is so young." ”

The woman touched her face shyly: "Thank you Tong Tong for the compliment, Tong Tong is also very cute, but you can directly call my Chinese name Jia Lin." ”

Jia Lin's Chinese was very good, and she pointed to Xiao Zhengtai next to her: "He is a younger brother, you can call him Kenney, or you can call him Xie Yanqi." ”

After introducing herself and the child, Jia Lin said to Xie Yanqi again: "Call sister." ”

Xie Yanqi called out to his sister shyly in a small voice.

Chen Tongen and Qi Dai were instantly fallen, and the two of them thought in unison: How cute!

Jia Lin said again: "Tong Tong, is this your friend?" ”

She asked Qi Dai.

Chen Tongen put his arms around Qi Dai's neck and said with a smile: "Yes, my good friend, Qi Dai." ”

Garlene complimented, "It's cute. ”

Qi Dai replied politely: "Thank you." ”

Xie Yan called: "Don't stand at the door, let's come in and talk about it." ”

"Oh, yes." Jia Lin very enthusiastically pulled Chen Tongen in, "I just saw a beautiful dress......

Qi Dai actually felt that she didn't need to go in, the atmosphere was very good, and Chen Tongen had a lot of worries before.

Xie Yandao didn't follow in, so he stood by the door and asked her, "Isn't Qi Dai coming in?" ”

Qi Dai touched her ears, she just thought that this Teacher Xie didn't remember herself, so she didn't say hello, she was still a little embarrassed at this time, she glanced at the private room, the atmosphere was very good, and said, "I'll ...... it"

"Dai Dai, you can help us take a look at this." Chen Tongen beckoned to her from inside the house.

Qi Dai smiled awkwardly at Xie Yanzhao: "Then I'll disturb Teacher Xie." ”

Xie Yanzhao smiled and didn't speak.

When Qi Dai sat down, Chen Tongen asked her in a low voice by pouring water for her: "What were you talking to Xie Yanzhao just now?" ”

Qi Dai also replied in a low voice: "I'll tell you later." ”

After a while, it was the end of the dinner, Qi Dai, the translator, had no sense of accomplishment at all, Jia Lin was very enthusiastic, Xie Yanqi was also starting to be shy, and after getting acquainted with it, he was very naughty.

Anyway, the meal was not stiff, and after eating a meal, Chen Tongen's favor towards them rose gradually.

After that, Jia Lin called Chen Tongen to go shopping together, and Chen Tongen asked Qi Dai if she was going.

Qi Dai said: "I won't go, I have something to do in the afternoon." ”

Chen Tongen didn't persuade her again.

After the two separated, Qi Dai looked at the time and felt that it was a bit of a toss to go home, so she thought that she could go to the boxing gym first and wait for Xu Yuanshan, who knew that she actually met Lu Weijia on the way there.

Lu Weijia called out to her: "Didn't you say you had something to do today?" ”

Qi Dai nodded: "It's something, just finished." ”

Lu Weijia said: "Okay, since you're fine, let's find a place to write the host manuscript together." ”

Qi Dai had a bitter face: "But I have other things to do in the afternoon." ”

"What's the matter?" Lu Weijia asked.

"Private matters." Qi Dai replied succinctly.

Lu Weijia said: "Is it so important? It won't be delayed for long, and we won't have to go back and forth to get it when we finish it as soon as possible. ”

Qi Dai hesitated, compared to spending a day and spending countless days of fragmented time, she would definitely choose the former.

Lu Weijia saw that she was loose, and made persistent efforts: "It's only twelve o'clock at this time, even if you have something, don't worry about delaying for an hour or two." ”

Qi Dai thought about it, Xu Yuanshan only went to the boxing gym in the afternoon, and it is estimated that she had just finished eating at this time, so she would finish the manuscript here first, otherwise Xu Yuanshan would have to wait for her if she used the after-school time.

"Okay, let's find a place to finish the manuscript first." She agreed.
