Chapter Forty-Six: An Unexpected Meeting
When we meet again, we still have to continue to maintain this heart-warming young appearance.
- Xia Yuyang
The letter contained only a few simple lines:
Baby daughter, mom and dad go out for a while, there is something that needs to be solved, and they will come back in a few days, leaving you money, you have to eat well, if you are afraid, ask Xia Yuyang to protect you.
That's right, it's my father's handwriting, and the words on the letter are vigorous and powerful, how could she not recognize it.
I still remember that when she was a child, she was naughty and lively, and her mother was often helpless to her, and she could only be quiet when her father practiced calligraphy, and moved a small bench to sit aside and watch obediently.
From childhood to adulthood, she inherited her father's unique calligraphy.
I fell in love with calligraphy, and over time I also fell in love with writing, so every time there was a related competition, the teacher would give priority to recommending her, and of course she would live up to expectations and come out on top.
But what does this mean by Dad? Let Xia Yuyang protect himself?
Dad didn't always like the two of them getting close......
Maybe there really was some emergency this time.
There's no way, do it yourself, have enough food and clothing. Xie Xiaonuan made up her mind, walked to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator, and then-
"Dad! Mother! You're so heartless, aren't you? ”
Xie Xiaonuan stared at the empty refrigerator with a sad face, only a few pieces of green vegetables were wilted and lying inside, yes, the desire to do it yourself was also shattered, so it was better to go to Xia Yuyang to discuss.
Xie Xiaonuan raised his hand and knocked on the door, and put his ear on the door, hearing a familiar voice from inside, and then the door suddenly opened, so frightened that Xie Xiaonuan screamed "Oops".
Xia Yuyang looked at her with a stunned expression, looked at the panicked girl in front of her, and couldn't cry or laugh, "What are you doing?" How can you be scared like this? After saying that, he turned sideways and gave way, "Come in." ”
Xie Xiaonuan hadn't reacted from the "fright" just now, his heartbeat had been increasing, his palms were sweating unconsciously, and he glared at him angrily, "Why did you suddenly open the door and scare me." ”
Xia Yuyang felt very innocent, "Of course I opened the door when someone knocked on the door, did I pretend not to hear?" ”
Oh, it seems that he "eavesdropped" first, Xie Xiaonuan turned his face uncomfortably, his face was full of stupidity, and he began to change the topic, "What do you want to eat at night?" ”
Xia Yuyang was slightly stunned, "Didn't you go to your house for dinner as usual?" ”
Xie Xiaonuan then remembered the purpose of coming to him, "By the way, my parents are not at home during this time, so we have to solve the three meals a day by ourselves." ”
Xia Yuyang was a little worried, "Is there anything important about uncle and aunt?" ”
Xie Xiaonuan shook his head, "They didn't say it, but my parents have always been good citizens who keep to themselves, and they will definitely not do bad things." ”
Xia Yuyang nodded the tip of her nose, "Don't let the crow's mouth, hurry up." ”
Xie Xiaonuan's eyes were full of disgust, "Xia Yuyang, why are you so feudal and superstitious, I don't want it." ”
Xia Yuyang's face sank, "It's not superstition, I'd rather believe it than believe it, hurry up." ”
Xie Xiaonuan was extremely helpless, so he had to listen to his words and "phew" a few times, and Xia Yuyang's face eased.
Xie Xiaonuan's eyes rolled, and he suddenly had a good idea, "It's better to ...... Shall we go to the restaurant? ”
Xia Yuyang thought for a while, "It can be, but if we have to go out to eat every time, the pocket money for two people will definitely not be enough, or-"
Xie Xiaonuan looked at him expectantly, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of Xia Yuyang's lips, "Let's go to the supermarket to buy vegetables and cook at home." ”
Xie Xiaonuan was very suspicious, and looked up and down at his whole body, "You? Cook? Are you sure? ”
Xia Yuyang nodded without thinking, his eyes shining. couldn't bear to hit his self-confidence, Xie Xiaonuan had to agree.
Just do it, and after the two of them packed everything, they set off for the supermarket.
Perhaps because of the holiday, there are many people in the supermarket, the fresh food section and the vegetable section are endlessly crowded, and even the snack section is crowded and noisy.
Xie Xiaonuan stood for a long time, gradually feeling impatient, and turned her head to see Xia Yuyang's still calm and breezy appearance, she was a little admired.
What kind of good tutor does it take to train such an outstanding boy.
Xie Xiaonuan stretched out her head to look at the group in front of her, and then looked back, the line was lined up until the staircase, she sighed lightly, oh my God, what year and month will you have to wait......
Xia Yuyang, who was on the side, noticed Xie Xiaonuan's dejected head, and looked at her with a smile, "What's the matter, you're tired after standing for a while?" ”
Xie Xiaonuan was about to nod yes, when he suddenly remembered that on Christmas Eve, when they were "chased and killed" by people holding inflatable sticks, Xia Yuyang laughed at his well-developed mind and simple limbs.
"I won't get tired!" She glared at him unceremoniously and twisted her face to the side in exasperation, just in time to see a little boy sitting in a shopping cart, staring intently at herself.
Xia Yuyang was confused for a while, he just cared about her, why did he suddenly get angry, seeing that the people in front of him were gradually decreasing, he didn't think much about it, tugged on her sleeve, and took a step forward.
Xie Xiaonuan put aside Xia Yuyang's hand and didn't say a word, Xia Yuyang found that his hand was empty, he was slightly stunned, and thought while looking back at her.
"Sister, are you having trouble with your big brother?" The little boy next to him suddenly burst out.
Xie Xiaonuan pointed at himself, "Are you talking to me?" ”
The little boy nodded and said confidently, "Big brother didn't do anything wrong, I saw that my sister was suddenly angry, my sister was ashamed, and she loved to lose her temper even more than Liangliang." ”
Xie Xiaonuan's face turned red and stammered, "I...... How can you be angry......"
The little boy was full of firm tones, "Obviously, there is, Liangliang is the Monkey King, with fiery eyes!" Saying that, he also compared the movements of Sun Wukong.
At this time, the woman standing behind the little boy gently scolded, "Liangliang, don't talk nonsense!" Turning his head to look at Xie Xiaonuan, "I'm sorry, little girl, the child is too ignorant." ”
Xie Xiaonuan hurriedly waved his hand, "It's okay aunt, Tong Yan is unscrupulous." ”
The woman pushed the little boy away, and the little boy was still whispering, "It's obviously my sister's anger, and the big brother has been watching her......"
Xie Xiaonuan hurriedly looked back and found that Xia Yuyang was looking towards him, with a smile on his face.
Yes, the child is right, Xia Yuyang didn't mean anything else, what kind of anger did he have indiscriminately, it inevitably seemed that he was too childish......
What a shame! How is it that even children are not as good as ......
Thinking of this, Xie Xiaonuan walked a few steps briskly and stood on Xia Yuyang's left, obediently waiting in line.
Xia Yuyang glanced at the unusually quiet girl beside her, and couldn't help but feel a little funny, just now I saw her chatting with a child, I don't know what she was talking about, she blushed.
Possible...... Was it "educated" by a child......
The corners of Xia Yuyang's mouth were hooked, and it was really funny to see her look deflated, but he didn't dare to laugh at her face, so he had to twist his face to the side and pretend to look at other goods.
I happened to see Cao Rui shopping for vegetables on the phone not far away.
Xia Yuyang's eyes narrowed, shouldn't he be in the hospital with her mother at this time period?
Feeling that his shoulder was suddenly patted, he was scared into a cold sweat, and looking back at the initiator, Xie Xiaonuan was glaring at him dissatisfied.
"Hey! Xia Yuyang, what are you thinking? There are a lot fewer people in front. Xie Xiaonuan's tone was full of complaints, with a hint of coquettishness that he didn't even notice.
Xia Yuyang heard a hint of it, a smile rippled into it, raised his hand to rub her head, and strode forward.
Xia Yuyang was meticulously picking up the fish, touching it for a while, pinching it for a while, and turning the fish over for a while, Xie Xiaonuan was puzzled, "Did this fish provoke you?" ”
Xia Yuyang chuckled, "You haven't come out to buy fish at first glance, how can you tell if the fish is new or not if you are not so picky?" ”
"Ah, lad." The old man who sold the fish grinned, "Don't worry, my fish are all fresh, otherwise it would not be possible to wait in such a long line." ”
Xia Yuyang's hand froze when he touched the fish, and felt that the people around him were looking at him, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed, and quickly grabbed a fish casually, "That's it." ”
The old man said while weighing the fish, "Look at you young man, I will give you a cheaper price, uncle, next time you come to me to buy fish, I will leave you the biggest!" ”
Xia Yuyang laughed dryly at the old man, "Yes, yes." He took the fish and change and hurried away.
Xie Xiaonuan also saw his embarrassed appearance for the first time, and secretly felt funny, so he ran forward and teased, "Xia Yuyang, when I see you, I often come out to buy vegetables." ”
Xia Yuyang scratched his head, "Yes, when I was a child, I often accompanied my mother out to buy vegetables, and over time I also learned the skills of picking vegetables and bargaining......"
"Oh my God!" Xie Xiaonuan turned from the laughter just now to admiration, "You are so powerful, I must pull you when I go shopping in the future, it will definitely be a lot cheaper." ”
After she finished speaking, she stretched out her fingers and played with them one by one, imagining her good "money journey" in the future, and her eyes were shining.
Xia Yuyang smiled, and finally regained some confidence in her, and the embarrassment on her face disappeared, and she continued to choose vegetables with her head held high.
Xie Xiaonuan looked at the person walking in front, and the light in his eyes was even brighter, it's really good, he has invisibly tapped out two more advantages of Xia Yuyang.
"Xia Yuyang, what a coincidence." A voice came from not far away.
The two looked over together, it was Cao Rui, who was carrying two large plastic bags of vegetables, looking at Xia Yuyang, and then at Xie Xiaonuan, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Xia Yuyang thought in his heart, he was really right just now, and immediately smiled slightly, "Yes, what a coincidence." ”
Xie Xiaonuan stood at a loss, not laughing, this is terrible, will Cao Rui talk nonsense everywhere when he sees it......
Xia Yuyang noticed Xie Xiaonuan's abnormality, took a diagonal step, and happened to block in front of her, "Aren't you in the hospital?" Why are you so free, and you still come out to buy groceries. ”
Cao Rui continued to smile, "My dad took my mom home, and my uncle was going to the house and happened to be shopping for vegetables with me. After saying that, there was a pause, and it seemed that there was something in the words.
Xia Yuyang said "um" and didn't say anything further.
Xie Xiaonuan was puzzled in his heart, why did Cao Rui's uncle, that is, Song Yiyi's uncle, suddenly mention his uncle......
Seeing that the two of them were thinking about each other, Cao Rui took the lead in breaking the silence, "My uncle is waiting for me over there, I'll go first, goodbye!" ”
When the two looked at Cao Rui again, they could only see the backs of him and a middle-aged man, he just blocked the man's face, and when he looked at him, the smile on his face was unknown.
But that back......
How does it feel so familiar...... Where have you seen it......
Suddenly, Xia Yuyang and Xie Xiaonuan glanced at each other, and the shock in their eyes was obvious, Cao Rui's uncle ......
It turned out to be their homeroom teacher, Mr. Wang!
