In the early spring of a year ago, a new pastry house was opened on Jinghu Road.

The proprietress of the pastry house is a soft-spoken southern woman, and she also has a fair-looking and lovely daughter.

The proprietress is named Hao Hong, and her daughter is called Hao Qiao.

Ever since they lived on Jinghu Road, the neighbors around them would smell the tantalizing aroma of Haoqiao's pastry house every morning, and after a little while, Hao Qiao would knock on the door with a freshly made fluffy cake or chocolate chip cookie, and occasionally come back with a glass of fresh orange juice.

The neighbors are very fond of their mother and daughter, and they always go to the pastry house to help out when they are free, or they praise the food in the pastry house when they meet people.

Hao Qiao likes every uncle and aunt here, and Hao Qiao hopes that her mother and herself will live happily ever after.

Time passed slowly, on the eve of April Fool's Day, my mother suddenly had a high fever for some reason, Hao Qiao told the neighbor's aunt, and the aunt took her mother to the hospital and asked her to stay and watch the house.

Hao Qiao was actually very worried about her mother, although she wanted to go very much, but in order not to add to the chaos, she was very obedient and waited at home.

Early the next morning, Hao Qiao woke up to the cries of the storm. When she opened her mobile phone, she saw a message from the teacher in the class group, "Today, due to special weather conditions, classes will be suspended for one day." ”

Below the teacher's words, everyone replied and received, and the squad leader also transferred a link to Xihai News, Hao Qiao clicked in to take a look, and found that it was a report about the heavy rain in Xihai from last night to today, and the host also specially reminded everyone to close the doors and windows at the end of the video and not go out.

Hao Qiao immediately called her mother.

"Mom, are you feeling better?"

"Mom is fine. I just watched the news of the torrential rain, and a lot of streets in the neighborhood are flooded. Don't go to school today, stay at home, and when the rain stops, your mother will come back to accompany you. ”

"School is closed today, mom doesn't have to worry about me. I'll wait for you to come back. ”

Hao Qiao hung up the phone and went upstairs to close the window.

When Hao Qiao reached out to close the window, large raindrops smashed on her arm, and the splashing water droplets made Hao Qiao squint.

After closing the window, Hao Qiao looked out the window, the rain curtain of the empty street market looked a little hazy, and the downpour turned the street into a small river.

The wind was howling and the rain was pouring down, and Hao Qiao's mood became a little heavy.

Two years ago in Nancheng, on April Fool's Day, she and her mother also encountered such a heavy rain.

People in the South said it was an unpleasant April Fool's Day.

But Hao Qiao felt that that was the beginning of happiness for her and her mother.

That day, the man went home again and beat her mother and her, snatching all the money from the family.

Maybe he got carried away too much, or maybe retribution finally came, and his life ended in a car accident.

The perpetrators did not hit him alone, but five people.

When her mother took her to the police station to claim the body, she heard the wails and cries of several other victims' families.

Hao Qiao didn't know how her mother felt, but there was no trace of sadness in her heart, and she didn't have any resonance for the wailing and crying ringing in her ears.

When her mother lifted the white cloth to reveal the man's bloody face, Hao Qiao was relieved.

He was finally dead, she thought.

No one will ever beat her and her again, no one will ever snatch all her money again and again, and no one will ever make her sad and sad again.

That man disappeared forever from this world, forever from his mother and her life.

Hao Qiao even felt very happy.

She ran over and hugged her mother, crying in her arms.

Everyone thought she was sad, but it was actually tears that were shed because she was too happy.

The parents of the perpetrators not only paid money to each family member, but also came to apologize one by one.

That perpetrator ended up with a sentence of several years, which she forgot. But Hao Qiao is very grateful to him in his heart.

Her and her mother's dark days with no end in sight ended because of him.

After a few months, her mother finally took her out of Southtown. In the early spring, they came to Xihai, and my mother opened a pastry shop and named it after her.

Hao Qiao remembered that on April Fool's Day last year, it also rained in Xihai City, not as heavy as today, it was a continuous drizzle.

Mom was not in a good mood that day, and there was no business, but she made all kinds of chocolates and cakes and waited quietly for her to come home from school.

When she got home, the two of them took chocolates and cakes, eating and watching TV dramas until they fell asleep.

When she woke up at night to go to the bathroom, she heard her mother's low cry hiding in the toilet.

She hoped that her mother would quickly forget about that man, forget those nightmarish days, and forget all the unhappiness.

But this is not an easy thing for mothers.

April Fool's Day is still a day that will make her sad.

Hao Qiao knew, although he knew, he couldn't do anything.

Today is the second April Fool's Day after coming to Xihai, Hao Qiao looked at the rain scene, listened to the sound of the rain, and felt a little melancholy. The sky was dark and gloomy, and the mood was becoming more and more somber.

Just when Hao Qiao was drowsy, there was a sudden knock on the door downstairs.

In such weather, how can anyone come?

Hao Qiao was puzzled, went downstairs and opened the door.

Outside the door stood a big brother who was drenched and embarrassed.

Hao Qiao forgot to put on his shoes when he went downstairs, and when he opened the door, he moved a step, and his socks were wet by the rain that the person outside the door brought to the door.

The sound of the door opening made the man who was wiping his hair with his clothes turn around.

It was her first meeting with him.

In the boundless rain curtain, the young man who was a whole head taller than Hao Qiao, his black hair was still dripping, he wiped his eyes with his wrist, and said to her with a smile: "Little sister, happy April Fool's Day." ”

A headless sentence, but because of his overly lively tone, it really sounded like a blessing to Hao Qiao's heart.

Without waiting for Hao Qiao to speak, the young man with a smile on his face sneezed three or four times in a row, and then he looked at Hao Qiao's eyes and asked her tentatively: "Little sister, can I hide from the rain here with you?" ”

Hao Qiao looked up at him with wide eyes, and said with some hesitation: "Mom is not here, I can't let you in." ”

The petite and cute girl finished speaking slowly, and threw him a slightly suspicious look. The boy was a little surprised, did he look like a bad guy? So he took out the card in his pocket, handed it to the little girl, and emphasized seriously: "This is our school's card, you see that there are names, surnames and classes on it, my brother is really not a bad person." The rain was so heavy that I stayed for a while. ”

Hao Qiao looked at the words on the card, "Xihai No. 1 Middle School, Class 2 of High School, Zhou Hao." ”

Hao Qiao thought to himself, it turned out to be the eldest brother of the high school.

Zhou Hao was afraid that the little girl would still be worried, so he said again: "Otherwise, you can help my brother get a stool, and I will sit here for a while." Okay, little sister? ”

Hao Qiao didn't speak, returned the card in his hand to Zhou Hao, took a step back, and closed the door.
