Section 39 Animals and Dolls
Kan Tao's tone was so fuss that Cao Cancan looked puzzled beside me.
"Haha, what, you know me?" Cao Cancan's eyes stared at Kan Tao, as if waiting for him to answer in the affirmative. "Know! Quick, Cao Muxi, that book is in your bag! Take it out! Kan Tao said as he pulled his schoolbag down from me. Cao Cancan watched Kan Tao's actions from the side, with that kind of surprised and happy expression on his face. At that time, I was standing in the middle, and I didn't know why Cao Cancan was so abnormal. Of course, soon, I learned the secret about Cao Cancan that year.
Kan Tao took out the notebook from my school bag, handed it to her, and praised her for her beautiful handwriting and good note-taking.
Cao Cancan was obviously surprised, in her opinion, this should be a romantic episode arranged by God, with a beautiful event about coincidence.
"Cao Muxi, I just reacted, you said to help me send this note, it turns out that it was for your sister! You've hidden deep enough! Kan Tao said half-jokingly on the side. I still didn't speak.
Suddenly, Kan Tao said in surprise: "Huh? You both have the same school bag? Cao Muxi, what kind of sister is this? As soon as Kan Tao said this, my heart began to beat wildly. When I was thinking about how to answer, Cao Cancan stretched his neck and said, "It's not a relative, she is from my grandmother's hometown, and it happens that her surname is Cao." This schoolbag was bought by my aunt, you see, the pendant on it is different! After Cao Cancan finished speaking, he deliberately turned his body to this side, and then shook the doll on the schoolbag.
Kan Tao looked at it and smiled: "I still think that the little animal on Cao Muxi's schoolbag is cute." Cute. Cao Cancan squinted at my schoolbag and said to himself, "Really? Animals are good-looking? β
Kan Tao did not speak to him again. Near the school gate, Kan Tao saw her mother who came to pick her up, so she turned around and greeted us: "Bye, Cao Muxi, eh, I will also call my sister." Bye-bye, Sister Cancan. See you tomorrow. With that, he turned around and left.
I followed behind Cao Cancan, and I was still beating a drum in my heart when Kan Tao asked us about the relationship, but I saw that Cao Cancan didn't get into the car, standing outside the car and didn't know what to look at. Uncle Zhao knocked on the car window, and Cao Cancan changed his mind.
All the way that day, Cao Cancan was obviously very happy, humming a song by himself, shaking his head, so that Uncle Zhao also looked at her several times in the rearview mirror, probably thinking, this girl, I haven't seen this a few times a year, what good things are happening?
When I was about to arrive at the door, Cao Cancan suddenly leaned over from his seat to my side, which startled me: "Cao Muxi, let's change our schoolbags!" β
"Huh?" "Ahhhh It's okay if you don't change it, you give me the animal doll pendant on your school bag, and I'll give you my doll. "As I got out of the car, I felt a little inexplicable. I thought she was just talking casually, and I didn't take it seriously, so I turned and walked up the steps.
"Hey! Cao Muxi, do you want to change it? Yes? Cao Cancan's loud voice followed behind me, shouting and entering the hall. Everyone was preparing dinner, and when they heard Cao Cancan's voice, they all came out to find out. Aunt Qin came to Cao Cancan's side in a panic: "Oh, Cancan, what are you yelling for?" Do you have something to say? What are you doing to Mu Xi so fiercely? β
"Am I fierce? I'm talking so well! Cao Cancan had a fierce expression full of disbelief. At this time, Zhang Jing led Chenchen down from upstairs: "Haha, Cancan, your voice should be changed, let others listen, it's very unladylike." β
"Auntie, am I loud? Not a lady? I think it's good! β
"Of course I don't think so, look at Mu Xi, a real lady, she doesn't talk much. You've got to learn a little bit. Cao Cancan looked up and saw me going upstairs, so he rushed up with an arrow: "Cao Muxi, change it, okay?" Just change it, you see, it's been a month since the start of school, how fresh is the change? β
I was confused, and I didn't want to care why she wanted to change this little thing, so in order to enter the house as soon as possible and be quiet for two minutes, I took it off and gave it to her. She took it and was very happy. Seeing me turn around and enter the house, he hurriedly picked up the doll on his bag: "Eh, Cao Muxi, you close the door later, this doll will be given to you." "The moment the door closed, a doll pendant flew in from outside the door and almost hit me in the face. I picked it up from the floor, looked at it, and put it on my desk.
I lost what I liked at first sight, and when I had it again, I lost the impulse and freshness of the time. I sat at the table and looked at the doll in a daze, and suddenly remembered that my mother was about to celebrate her birthday. I flipped through my calendar and found that it happened to be next week, so I began to wonder whether to go back to celebrate my mother's birthday.
The new head teacher is a character with not outstanding personality characteristics, the management is not loose or strict, the temper is not violent or soft, and it is said that he was transferred from the school, which makes me feel at ease, because, at least if I know less, I will not have so much curiosity to explore the mystery of my background.
Recently, the uncle often does not eat at home, in addition to being busy with the signature event, daily entertainment is also inevitable. And before my father found out the truth, he had been taken back by his superiors for his important work, and he was very idle, but he couldn't see anyone every morning and evening, which couldn't help but make grandma start to complain.
During dinner, Grandma took a sip of the soup and sighed.
"Mom, what's wrong? Feeling unwell? Zhang Jing was beside him and hurriedly asked with concern.
"Well, no. I just thought, this Cao Mu doesn't see anyone at home and outside the house every day, what are he busy doing? More than 40 years old, busy with blind work. After Grandma finished speaking, she shook her head, adding to her helplessness.
Aunt Qin sat opposite and looked up, but did not speak. Zhang Jing agreed: "Oh, Mom, adults have their own world, don't worry about it." I guess Cao Mu should also have his own ideas and plans. β
"What are his plans? To have a plan is to stab Lou Zi every day? It's been more than a month since this happened, and I'm still here without moving, and there is no progress at all, I think, it's really not good, so let Cao Qi go and talk to the above, and after pressing it down, give him a different place. It doesn't matter what the director is or not, if you are stable and there is no chaos, it will be Amitabha. β
"Mom, Cao Qi said that the people who went up to investigate recently went to Beijing for a meeting, so it was put on hold for the time being. Don't worry, they are brothers, this is the same, that is, they all know it in their hearts, and I understand it. After listening to Zhang Jing's words, Aunt Qin chewed the beans in her mouth slowly for a long time before swallowing them, and I could see that Aunt Qin was a little uncomfortable and depressed in her heart.
Grandma put down the bowl, sat on the chair and began to sigh: "Xiao Jing, you said, when the two of them were as old as Chenchen, I always thought that Cao Mu was smarter than Cao Qi. When he was a child, Cao Mu was very naughty, always chasing other people's children, oops, that one running, sweating profusely every day. Isn't it said that naughty children are smart, so at that time, the family always thought that Cao Mu had a good head. Cao Qi didn't like to talk since he was a child, to be honest, at that time, there were big and small things in the family, and your father and I both liked to take Cao Mu because they were lively. Hey, you see, this has grown up, but it's the other way around. Cao Qi made a silent sound, he pounced so much outside, and this Cao Mu, hey, it was like being stimulated, stupid day by day, just like this, he was still a deputy director, his mind and mouth couldn't do anything, and it was not the first time I wanted to change places for him. β
"Mom, in fact, Cao Mu is not as you say, he used to be a very thoughtful person, and now if he compares with before, he will definitely be worse, but, Mom, since he has been in this position for more than two years, it proves that he still has this ability. What do you say? Zhang Jing was next to her grandmother, saying while giving Chenchen whole meat.
"Ability? Hum! That's all for today, it's my own son, I'm embarrassed to say it in front of him, I'm afraid he won't be able to hang up. Aunt Liu of the Liu family of the CPPCC has told me more than once. People said, "Shuzhen, Cao Mu is like never growing up, thinking about things is very naΓ―ve many times, and sometimes he is still anxious and disobedient. At this point, his work attitude and ability have been questioned. "Hey, your Aunt Liu is an old neighbor of our family, and she and your father used to work together, so Cao Mu is like her own son. Anything she could see, she wouldn't come to me. After Grandma finished speaking, she sighed again.
Aunt Qin had already put down her chopsticks, her expression was ugly, she seemed to want to say something, but she couldn't insert it.
"Mom, what others say is just from outside. Cao Mu is your son, what is he like, don't you know? Don't always listen to what the outside world says. Eat, eat, Mom. Zhang Jing said, using chopsticks to clip a piece of pork ribs for her grandmother.
"Just because it's my son, I know how many pounds and taels he has! What people said, because of the situation, I don't know how much they have been deleted. When your father was alive, the two of us had difficulties in arranging work for Cao Mu, and later we thought about arranging it to Chengjiankou, where we were more active and less rigid in our work. Who would have thought, still no. Ay. That day, I told Cao Qi about changing jobs for Cao Mu, but Cao Qi didn't figure out where to suit Cao Mu. In my opinion, the most suitable thing for him is the bright lights, singing and dancing! Other serious things are in vain. β
