After closing the door, Grandma turned around and walked back. said to the uncle: "You go and contact Xue Hao to see when he has time tomorrow?" Whether to schedule meals during the day or in the evening. ”

The uncle turned around and smiled at his grandmother: "You better let Cao Mu contact himself, it's better for him to make his own decisions, lest I don't invite his guests again, and turn around and get angry at me." ”

"Look at what you said, why is the family not angry every day, can't they be fine?" Cao Ge looked at his grandmother on the side, and said in a cloudy and sunny way: "Yes, everyone wants to be good, but the other party doesn't let you be good, how good can it be?" Grandma glanced at Cao Ge, didn't make a sound, turned around and went upstairs.

Before going upstairs, he turned around and said to the uncle: "Cao Qi, Xiaoqin has a sprained foot now, and I will leave the matter of Mu Xi's mother to you." The uncle was stunned for a moment and nodded.

I don't seem to be as panicked about my mother's imminent arrival. Maybe it's because a lot of things haven't been as bad as I expected. People are sometimes like this, and they will abandon their bad illusions through a lot of things that happen in reality, and thus produce a fluke mentality. Looking back on it now, that's how I was then. But taking a step back, even if I was trembling and nervous, it didn't solve anything. Things that should come will always come, things that should happen will always happen, and if things do come to light, then there is nothing I can do.

Cao Cancan's attitude towards me since Aunt Qin's foot was broken was not a 180° turn, but it was obviously closer. This may be a silent behavior of gratitude among peers. For a stubborn girl like Cao Cancan, it is very difficult for her to open her mouth to say a thousand words of gratitude, not to mention, I am already flattered by her words of thanks at the dinner table last night.

At noon that day, Cao Cancan ordered my favorite pork ribs. But I looked at the box of meat, but I didn't have much appetite.

At noon that day, before Kan Tao left the classroom, the food had already been delivered. He opened his mouth wide: "Wow! Did Cao Cancan give you an order? I looked at him and didn't speak.

When I looked up in the middle of the night, I found that he was still staring at the box of ribs on my table: "You want to eat?" If you want to eat, give it to you. ”

"I don't eat it. I guess my share should already be on her desk. ”

I stared at the ribs on the table, wondering if it was in exchange for my kindness or if it was just a normal lunch. Anyway, I later learned that although this is not the "Last Supper", it is also a fitting expression of the extraordinary taste in this shredded dish.

On the way home from school, Cao Cancan suddenly pointed to the hazy neon light in the distance, which had not yet dazzled, and said to me: "Cao Muxi, look, it's a newly built playground." This Saturday, I'll take you to the playground. ”

I looked up, so far and so close.

The name of the playground is very new to me. This kind of high-cost entertainment place is actually a place for rich families to relax and have fun, but for me, the merry-go-round that I should go to in my childhood, I have never seen the appearance of that horse since I was ten years old.

I don't know why, when Cao Cancan mentioned the word playground to me, I looked at the shining point of light in the distance, and suddenly, I felt a little sentimental in my heart. I don't know anything about sentimentality, anyway, after a moment of silence, I suddenly laughed to myself, sentimentality is useless, especially for the poor, for those who are poor in material and spirit, it is a luxury.

I looked at Cao Cancai and smiled: "Let's talk about it." ”

"What do you mean? I'll take you on Saturday, and I'll let my dad drive then. Let me tell you, when I was a child, my dad used to drive me to the playground, and although I pestered him every time he would, it was even happier for me to come out than to get a beautiful princess dress. When I was young, I was very timid, I can't see it, don't look at my courage now, in fact, when I was a child, I didn't dare to play anything. Every time I buy a ticket, I go in and watch people play, then I am happy. ”

I watched her and I babble about her childhood, and suddenly I felt that there seemed to be another person's shadow on her face opposite her, and that person was me.

Actually, this is not difficult to understand. It's normal for us to have similarities. I often inadvertently capture a certain point of me from Cao Cancan's expression when she speaks.

This point may be an expression, or a psychological state, or a prism of a certain personality, in short, it is really similar.

The sky outside looked a little overcast, and the neon behind Cao Cancan flashed and flashed. The contrast between the inside of the car and the outside was very bright, and inadvertently, pulled me back to reality.

Cao Cancan kept talking about her childhood like this, all the way. I don't know what was going on in my head, maybe I was just emptying myself and savoring my misfortune alone.

The interior of the house is beautifully furnished, just like celebrating the New Year. Every time there was no such fanfare in the family, but this time it was different. I don't know whose idea it was, but I can see that my father was able to resume his public office this time, which is still a relatively gratifying thing for the Cao family, especially for grandma and Aunt Qin. But the joy of these two women comes from different aspects of human nature.

Grandma came down from upstairs, dressed in a very beautiful dark green cheongsam.

"Cancan, come over here and see what I'm holding in my hand?"

After Cao Cancan took off his shoes, he threw his schoolbag on the sofa and ran over.

"What is this?"

"This, your aunt brought it to you by the way when she went out today to buy something for Chenchen. Is it good-looking? ”

"Oops, it's pretty. Here you go, this is for Mu Xi. Cao Cancan stretched out his hand and took it. Based on my understanding of Cao Cancan, under normal circumstances, she would pick first, but this time I was very surprised, she ran over: "No, you pick first." ”

I looked up at Cao Cancan's outstretched palm, and there were two very beautiful strings of beads. There are two small signs in the middle of the beads, probably some blessings. I said casually, Cao Cancan looked serious: "Don't, you better pick one." In desperation, I picked up a bunch of them.

I saw Aunt Qin on the sofa, and when I saw Cao Cancan's actions, I smiled knowingly. Perhaps in Aunt Qin's opinion, Cao Cancan has finally learned to live peacefully with others. Of course, this peaceful coexistence is in quotation marks. I can't quite imagine what kind of miserable situation it will be like when my identity is revealed.

Cao Ge commanded the servants of the house to hang small lanterns next to the curtains. Aunt Qin sat on the sofa, tilted her head to look at Cao Ge, and sneered: "Cao Ge, you said that this is not a New Year's Day, what kind of lantern are you hanging?" Looks weird. Cao Ge looked back at Aunt Qin and said, "Second sister-in-law, you don't understand." Actually, I'm not happy about my second brother's resumption of public office, I'm happy, Muxi's mother will come tomorrow. Eh, you say, I don't know why, I always see Mu Xi's mother is very kind, and this kindness can't be said. Maybe it's because her personality is very much in line with my eyes. Moreover, let me tell you about the second sister-in-law, I still plan to learn to sing. ”

Aunt Qin put the melon seeds on the table and looked at Cao Ge with wide eyes: "Learn to sing?" ”

"Yes, learn to sing." Aunt Qin leaned back and smiled back, and Cao Ge came over and slapped Aunt Qin on the back: "Second sister-in-law, don't be like my eldest brother, laugh at me at every turn." What's ridiculous! Learning to sing, is this thing so funny? ”

"No, no, no, it's not that singing is funny, it's you, learning to sing, it's funny."

"Really?" Cao Ge looked at Aunt Qin with frowns and asked suspiciously.

"After so many years, I still know you well. You are a person who is enthusiastic about everything for three minutes, I really can't imagine what it would be like for you to learn singing and give up halfway. ”

"Second sister-in-law, I thought about back then, and now how old I am. People of my age now have a beginning and an end to do things, don't worry, this time, I will definitely learn very well. Besides, I thought about it, if I really worshipped Mu Xi's mother as a teacher, I really didn't want to go back to Yunnan for a while. ”

Aunt Qin sat aside and heard Cao Ge say that she didn't want to go back to Yunnan, but she was actually very happy. However, the grandmother standing behind Aunt Qin looked very embarrassed. I glanced at my grandmother's face with my eyes, and I couldn't tell if I was happy or unhappy. In fact, for a mother, it is a very gratifying thing for her daughter to stay by her side, but for grandma, the relationship between her and Cao Ge, this kind of long stay is indeed not a good thing for grandma.

Grandma clapped her hands, turned around and asked Wu's mother: "Wu's mother, is the meal done?" Let's start eating. I haven't eaten too well in the past two days, and since I heard about Cao Mu's reinstatement to public office yesterday, my heart suddenly opened up. Did you stew that chicken tonight? I suddenly want to drink some soup to replenish it. I was lying in bed last night, and I figured it out, this person, you still have to be kind to yourself for the rest of your life, otherwise one day, because of something, suddenly lose your anger, wouldn't it be a real pity? ”

This sentence makes others sound very uncomfortable. Grandma usually doesn't speak like this, but since she came back from Cao Ge, grandma often speaks with yin and yang, which makes people confused. It always sounds weird, I don't know how to answer, I can't help, and I don't have a way to pick up the stubble.

At this time, Zhang Jing took Chenchen downstairs. Cao Cancan rushed over all of a sudden: "Auntie, thank you so much!" I love this bead so much. Zhang Jing glanced at Cao Cancan with a smile: "It's good if you like it." Mu Xi, do you like it? ”

I was a little stunned by Zhang Jing's sudden mention of my name. After all, my mind was still on what my grandmother had just said.

"I like it, thank you, auntie." After that, he lowered his head and planned to carry his schoolbag upstairs. But he was stopped by his grandmother and told him to eat first, and it was not too late to go up again. I answered and went to wash my hands.
