The laughter outside attracted Wu Yuanhao to come out and take a look, but he didn't see Xian Xinchen, but Jiang Xiaomian and Xiang Dongyang were having fun with them.

"Xiaomian, why are you and Dongyang here?" Wu Yuanhao's tone was a little lost.

The corners of Jiang Xiaomian's mouth gradually curled, "I don't know about him... He seems to have something to do. ”

"I'm not here!"

Before he could say a word, everyone heard the reputation, Xian Xinchen was getting out of the car and walking this way, and what was even more dazzling was the woman behind him. The appearance of Xiang Xiyan made Wu Yuanhao and Jiang Xiaomian think about each other. Wu Yuan saw that there were guests coming, so he asked Daying to lead the children into the room to play.

When Xiang Dongyang saw his sister, he immediately smiled and went to receive him: "Sister, why did you come here?" ”

Xiang Xiyan knocked lightly on his brother's head and sneered, "I'm here to inspect the work, but I want to ask why you're here?" One day to know how to run around. ”

It turned out that when Fang was in the company, Xian Xinchen couldn't wait for Jiang Xiaomian for a long time, and when Xiang Xiyan heard that they had made an appointment here, he was also happy to use the excuse of inspection work to come here with Xian Xinchen.

"Xiaomian, this is my sister, her name is Xi Yan, a talent who went abroad for further study, and she is very good! At home, I am not as good as her! ”

Jiang Xiaomian was full of pride when he introduced his sister to Dongyang, and the family still praised it like this, so you can imagine what it should be in the eyes of outsiders. At the dinner that day, they also had a relationship, and now if you look at her carefully, she really shows off her wisdom, and that kind of appearance is the envy of everyone. It can be seen that this Xiang Xi Yan has a lot of enemy strength. Jiang Xiaomian was stunned for a long time before realizing that Xiang Xiyan had already shaken his hand and waited for her.

"Hello, we're meeting again!" Xiang Xiyan was very generous, and he also thought with a smile, it turned out that he thought that Jiang Xiaomian was kind that day, just because he had seen this woman in Xiang Dongyang's painting.

"Hello, my name is Jiang Xiaomian." Jiang Xiaomian didn't seem to dare to look at others a few more times, but everyone didn't pay attention to her subtle expression. That look seems to be mindful, and it seems to be inferior.

Xiang Xiyan looked at this new and bright orphanage, everything was almost the same, but there was still a lack of a name, so he spoke first: "I think this should also be a proper name, and it would be too shabby to continue to be called 'Gleaning Place', and it would be a bit unseemly." ”

"We have thought about it with our wishes, this is Erxi Road, 'Erxi', and the homonym is 'Xi'er' upside down, so we have set 'Xi'er Orphanage'."

Xiang Xiyan shook his head in thought after listening to Xian Xinchen's words, "'Cherish the Orphanage', although the meaning is good, but this group of children have no father and no mother, and 'Cherish the Child' is a bit explicit, they will gradually grow up, don't you feel sad when you think about it?" Think of a better change. ”

Everyone listened to Xiang Xiyan's suggestion, and this name does have some thoughtful places. Looking at each other again, I don't know where to think of the new name of the hospital, and I heard Xiang Xiyan smile again, "When I came here just now, I saw these children having fun with you, smiling brightly, childlike and innocent, or how about calling it 'Childlike Orphanage'?" It means that they are carefree and grow up healthy. ”

"Childlike Orphanage?...... Childlike Orphanage!"

Wu Yuan glanced at Xian Xinchen to see how he answered. Jiang Xiaomian knew on the side that he didn't have the weight to say anything. Only Xiang Dongyang clapped his hands and praised, "This name is good!" ”

Xian Xinchen scratched his brows: "That's not bad, 'Childlike Orphanage' sounds more smooth, and the meaning is also cheerful and clear." As soon as these words came out, everyone just made a default state, and noticed a slightly weird atmosphere at the scene, so he scattered and reminded: "By the way, there are glutinous rice noodles and black sesame seeds in the trunk, and I said that I would make rice balls for the children today, don't forget it here."

As soon as Xiang Dongyang heard this, he went to pick up the ingredients and came in, even happier than the group of children, Xiang Xiyan went into the kitchen and picked up the sesame filling and stirred it up, and said beside Xian Xinchen: "I haven't eaten rice balls for a long time, and if I don't eat a meal again, I'm afraid I will forget that China still has this deliciousness!"

"Then you'll eat a few more!"

"Good!"

Xiang Dongyang teased beside him: "Sister, wait a minute, don't respond!" Like when I was a child, stuck in my throat, at that time you still said that you would never eat this Rausch in your life, how do I not know when you were reincarnated! ”

"What do you say?" Xiang Xiyan pushed Dong Yang with his elbow, he was quick to move, and hurriedly walked towards Jiang Xiaomian, making his sister pounce.

Jiang Xiaomian listened to Xian Xinchen and Xiang Xiyan's chat, their happy chatting had already put herself aside, her mood was as heavy as flour wet with water, sticky and uncomfortable, and she didn't want to speak just bowed her head and kneaded the dough, and felt that the dough was less water, so she scooped a scoop of water and rushed it down directly.

"Oops!" Xiang Dongyang hurriedly stopped the sound of falling water, "Xiaomian, look, you have mixed too much water, and this is not a ball!"

Jiang Xiaomian's hand holding the scoop stopped in the air, because when he scooped the water, he inexplicably thought that he was washing clothes, otherwise, how could a scoop of water be poured so smoothly.

Xiang Dongyang scooped out the flour to the side: "I'll help you add some ingredients so that it won't be so thin." As he spoke, the flour spilled from his palms.

As beautiful as falling snow, the eyes of the two people are as distant as a layer of drifting snow. At that moment, Jiang Xiaomian felt that the color of the whole world was only white, and his smiling face was shadowed, even the dimples on his left cheek became white, and the eyes where the snow had fallen were white, and his eyebrows and eyelashes were white. Black and white upside down.

"Brother and sister, are you ready? We're going to make dumplings! ”

When the child appeared, the eyes of the opposite eyes dissipated.

Jiang Xiaomian hurriedly kneaded the dough a few more times, "Now it's okay, you can wrap the rice balls." ”

"yes, it's a dumpling!" The children all came in enthusiastically to wash their hands and scramble to be the first.

Xiang Xiyan brought sesame stuffed balls, Daying took a ball of noodles, put the sesame stuffing and kneaded them together.

"Daying, it's not like this, you see me, it should be like this... Flatten the balls, wrap the filling in and roll them into small balls. Jiang Xiaomian demonstrated as he spoke, and the black stuffing balls were hidden in the white round balls with his fingertips.

The children were busy clapping: "Sister Xiaomian is so good!" ”

Xiang Dongyang also picked up a ball of noodles according to Xiaomian's words, but his palm was relatively large, so he kneaded it casually when he grabbed it, and then stuffed the sesame filling, Jiang Xiaomian saw it and hurriedly stopped him: "Your rice balls are too big, they are still children, remove half of the noodles and then wrap the filling." ”

Xiang Dongyang saw that the nanny at home had wrapped the rice balls, and when she heard her say it today, she knew that the size of the rice balls was also divided into ages, and after she was busy removing half of the noodles in her hand, she kneaded it indiscriminately and stuffed the stuffing in, but the stuffing was not stuffed properly, and the sesame filling rolled into a ball in the palm of her hand and was attached to the skin of the balls.

"Hahaha, look at the rice balls wrapped by your brother!" The children laughed when they saw it.

Xiang Xiyan also sneered: "I, I've only seen dumpling filling, and this is the first time I've seen this dumpling filling." ”

"Sister, don't say it!"

When Jiang Xiaomian took the glutinous rice balls in his hand and wanted to trim them slightly, Xiang Dongyang stopped: "This is not bad, why hide your heart in it and wrap it tightly to close your heart?" That's what I'm going to do, with an open heart! ”

"It's funny for you to talk, this is a 'black heart'!" Xiang Xiyan joked on the side.

Xiang Dongyang still put the rice balls in the pile of finished products and lined them up, "No matter what kind of heart it is, it must be revealed naturally and honestly." ”

There was something in this, Jiang Xiaomian pretended not to hear it, and continued to wrap the rice balls in his hand; Xiang Xiyan only thought he was talking nonsense and laughed at him; Xian Xinchen heard what he meant, and he didn't stir up, and didn't say a word to boil water.

"Sister Xiaomian, why do you say the rice balls are round?"

One child asked, and the other children also asked, "Yes, dumplings can be wrapped in various shapes, why are the dumplings only round?" ”

When the fish went into the water, they knew that the river was clear and shallow; The bird is imprisoned in a cage to know what freedom is. The children in the orphanage were once hungry and did not experience the joy of family gatherings, how many people will know the meaning of tangyuan.

Jiang Xiaomian picked up a rolled rice ball: "Look, we have so many people eating rice balls, you have a bowl, I have a bowl, everyone will be reunited at the same table, round, in order to be warm and happy!" ”

"Also, and..."Xiang Dongyang hurriedly raised his chopsticks to interrupt, "If you eat rice balls, you will be as white and round as it!" ”

"Oh!"

"You're right to say to my brother!"

…

Wave after wave of laughter, and after a while, a pot of hot rice balls was served. A group of children were so greedy that they turned over the fish tank with a running water cat, and scooped it with a colander one after another, and Daying first served a bowl to Wu Yuanhao, and then scooped it into his own bowl.

"Xiaomian, you have to eat more!" Xiang Dongyang added a spoonful to her bowl.

Wu Yuan saw Xian Xinchen and Xiang Xiyan sitting on the side, and what she ate was glutinous rice balls, it was clearly vinegar.

"Wish, what's wrong with you, don't you like to eat?" Xian Xinchen saw that she didn't chew much, and immediately became concerned.

"No, I'm just starting to eat a little full."

When a child fished out the rice balls in the pot, he saw the rice balls with the filling exposed, and hurriedly shouted happily: "Come and see, this is Xiang Brother's 'black heart rice balls'!" ”

Everyone laughed when they heard it, Xiang Dongyang didn't mean it, stuck out his tongue and smiled, put the 'black-hearted rice ball' into Jiang Xiaomian's bowl, patted his chest and said: "This rice ball is the first rice ball in my life, and now I want to give this rice ball to Xiao Mian, this is commemorative!" ”

The children only laughed at the 'black-hearted rice balls', and only adults understood Xiang Dongyang's move, and everyone knew it. Jiang Xiaomian also accepted it casually and ate it as usual.

After eating the dumplings, Xiang Xiyan invited Xian Xinchen to take her to inspect the project nearby, Xiang Dongyang was also clamoring to go, but when he saw that Jiang Xiaomian was not going, he had no intention of following, so he stayed in the orphanage with them.

When Xiang Dongyang and the group of children were cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, one of the children quietly came to ask, "Brother Xiang, do you like Sister Xiaomian?" ”

"Shh Xiang Dongyang made a gesture, "Don't you like Sister Xiaomian?" Like you, I like Sister Xiaomian the same. ”

"Oh—" The boy didn't seem to understand, and couldn't say anything else.

Xiang Dongyang came to the courtyard, looked at Jiang Xiaomian's figure, saw her and Wu Yuanhao washing clothes, and heard their own names in the topic, so he quietly stopped to the side and hid his curiosity to listen.

"Xiaomian, is Dong Yang chasing you?"

Jiang Xiaomian's hand gradually stopped and nodded.

"I haven't been with you for a year or two, I know your sex, the meaning of the words 'black-hearted dumplings', isn't he talking about you, even my heart is going to be warmed when I listen to it. He's sunny and suits you perfectly. ”

Jiang Xiaomian hesitated. In this hesitant time, she felt as if time and air had melted into liquid, dissolving into water, and she didn't know how to remember the joy he had brought her. Should I think, or shouldn't I think about it?

"Xiaomian, why don't you speak?"

"He's good, but he's good, and one day he'll find a girl who loves him to enjoy without a guilty conscience."

"Aren't you going to take him?" Wu Yuanhao asked this sentence with a somewhat surprised expression, because she thought that the two of them were wishful thinking. It turned out that he was wrong, thinking that Jiang Xiaomian would like him a little bit.

Jiang Xiaomian scooped up his clothes from the water and changed them to a basin of clear water: "His heart is very clear to me, just like this basin of water that has not been washed; And my heart, like the basin of water that I just poured out, was so muddy and dirty that even I couldn't see what I should be. Why let him be clean and dusty. ”

Wu Yuanhao wanted to say something, but was stopped by her: "Yuanhao, you go and rest, I'll do this." ”

Wu Yuanhao sighed quietly, but he didn't dare to let her hear it. When he turned to leave, he saw Xiang Dongyang standing by the door, and he almost called his name by mistake, so he went to Jiang Xiaomian and motioned him to help. Xiang Dongyang also pretended to be nothing: "Xiaomian, I'll help you!" ”

Wu Yuanhao came to the roof alone, looked in the direction of the construction, and searched for the backs of Xian Xinchen and Xiang Xiyan. From a long distance, she also used a long gaze, but she still couldn't see the two of them clearly.

"What will they talk about there?"

"How happy will they laugh?"

"They're not gone already, are they?"

"How did they meet? Earlier than you knew me?

Each question begins with the word "they". If you think too much, there is no answer, and the question mark becomes a full stop.

This side could have been seen from the direction of the gleaning place, but the corner of the mountain was mechanically pushed out of an open field, and there was a high loess slope next to it, so it blocked Wu Yuanhao's view.

"Pushing out the land of Shanjiao, we are going to use it to build Hope Primary School, and tomorrow we will bring your people to measure the project budget..."

Xiang Xiyan and Xian Xinchen walked all the way and visually measured the distance: "It's a very good idea to build a school here!" Fortunately, the orphanage was located some distance from here, otherwise the noise of the construction would have affected them. ”

Xian Xinchen chatted with her about the content of the work, because the road she came to was not smooth, when she looked down, she noticed that there was some yellow mud stuck on the edge of Xiang Xiyan's white shoes, so she shook her head and smiled.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I laugh at your appearance, which is suitable for the art industry, and it is hard to imagine that you will wear a helmet and inspect the work with me and discuss the project." Before Xiang Xiyan could speak, he added: "It's the first time I've come to the construction site with a woman to survey the project." ”

Xiang Xiyan immediately shook his head and retorted: "I very much disagree with your thoughts, you usually think that girls should be engaged in girls' careers, and boys should be engaged in boys' careers, which makes the proportion of work too imbalanced." Boys don't care, they should have the responsibility and courage that boys should have, and take on heavy responsibilities. Because of this, should we women be despised by you? Blindly singing and dancing, they only dream of art and stars every day. I don't want to do this, I prefer to compete with boys for jobs, and women's shoulders are not necessarily weak. ”

It was the first time Xian Xinchen heard such words, and he couldn't help but be impressed by the woman who said this string of words.

Xiang Xiyan continued: "It's not just me, when I become a mother in the future, when I educate my daughter, I will also use her as a boy to teach, learn a man's profession, and learn a man's spirit." To build a national society and build tens of millions of buildings, can't women shoulder the pillars of society? ”

"Sure enough, good woman! The mother of a strong woman and a strong woman! Xian Xinchen gave a thumbs up.

"That's for sure!"
