Chapter 2 Friends
Bai Qingci seemed to have woken up from a dream, but she couldn't remember what she had dreamed of, she heard the sound of small footsteps outside, rubbed her eyes blankly, moved back, and sat up.
"White words!" Tang Fengjuan shouted outside the door.
Bai Qingci hurriedly climbed out of bed and ran out.
Tang Fengjuan put on makeup while telling her to go downstairs to buy breakfast. Bai Qingci scraped his head a few times with a comb, and hurriedly took the money and went out.
On the way back early, Tang Fengjuan walked towards her in a hurry, she wore a water-green dress, held a fashionable parasol, and had a thin waist and long legs, so she couldn't tell that she was a woman who had already given birth to two children.
Bai Qing called "Mom" at a loss.
Tang Fengjuan glared secretly, as if she was disgusted with her slow movements, and as if she was disgusted with the redundancy of this "Mom", she quickly took a cup of soy milk from Bai Qingci's hand and left without saying a word, the company still has many things waiting for her, and she doesn't have time to pay attention to irrelevant ones.
Watching the water-green figure walk away, Bai Qingci thoughtfully touched the eight yuan in his pocket. In the paper bag was a two-portion sauce cake, enough for her to eat two meals.
Standing at the door of Ning Xuecheng's house, she went through her head what to say after opening the door, and then hesitantly rang the doorbell.
It was Ning Xuecheng who opened the door.
Bai Qingci showed a bright smile, "I'll pay it back." As he spoke, he handed him a few dollars folded into strips of paper.
Ning Xuecheng said "oh", his eyes were elusive, he took it and looked at it, one piece of five, three pieces of one.
Bai Qingci glanced at Ning Xuecheng and snorted, "I'll pay you back the rest of the money in a few days." ”
Ning Xuecheng nodded, glanced at the soy milk in her hand, and said inexplicably, "I haven't eaten breakfast yet." ”
Bai Qingci thought that he had delayed him to eat, and hurriedly said, "You go to eat, I'll go home first." ”
Looking at Bai Qingci who was about to leave, Ning Xuecheng was stunned for a moment, and her voice fell, "My parents went on a business trip, and I was the only one left at home, and I was about to vomit after eating the takeaway." ”
They are sympathetic to each other at this point, no wonder he can take out a hundred yuan casually, it turns out to be food money, but, "Didn't you say yesterday that Auntie was sleeping at home?" ”
Ning Xuecheng didn't feel a little embarrassed to be caught, and said like a little adult, "If they say that the adults are not there, they will definitely have to nag for a long time." ”
Bai Qingci nodded in agreement, adults seemed to be like this, and there was no room for a trace of mistake in their eyes. She tilted her head and said to Ning Xuecheng, "Do you want to try the sauce cake, it's delicious." ”
Afraid that Ning Xuecheng wouldn't believe it, she opened the paper bag and let Ning Xuecheng smell it.
Ning Xuecheng sniffed, "Well, it's very fragrant." In fact, he only smelled a mixed smell of heavy spices.
Hearing that his favorite things were recognized, Bai Qingci was lively and hurriedly told him the correct pilgrimage path.
"You can buy it from the door near the square, the shop is called Tujia Sauce Cake, and the steamed buns are sold next to it, don't buy or sell the one next to the buns, it's hard to eat." The last three words are accented.
Looking at Bai Qingci, who looked ignorant and ignorant, Ning Xuecheng didn't know what to say for a while.
"Can I eat with you," he asked, in a rare way, "and lowered his eyes, and said pitifully, "I'm so hungry." ”
His pitiful appearance made Bai Qingci unable to refuse. And Ning Xuecheng didn't wait for her to speak, so he took her hand and entered the door.
Until sitting at the dining table of Ning Xuecheng's house and having breakfast with him, Bai Qingci was a little stunned, she was obviously here to repay the money, why did she eat together.
Ning Xuecheng glanced at her, "Bai Qingci, where did you go to school?" ”
"First elementary school, third grade, but you have to pass the exam to get in." At the mention of exams, she inevitably felt depressed.
Ning Xuecheng's eyes flashed slightly, "What a coincidence, I'm also a transfer student, maybe we can be assigned to a class at that time." ”
It would be nice to be in the same class as him, but, "I don't want to take the exam at all." Bai Qingci cupped his cheeks and sighed sadly.
"An average score of 80 in two subjects is fine, how much did you take in the final exam?" As long as it's not hopelessly bad, there's nothing wrong with the entrance exam.
Bai Qingci's eyes sparkled brightly, "Mathematics 91, Chinese 83, the first place in the school." She didn't tell Ning Xuecheng that in fact, there were only nine students in the primary school in their village, and many of her classmates had transferred to the town's central primary school.
Ning Xuecheng praised without hesitation, "It's amazing! "The joy in my eyes is even happier than when I get a perfect score.
Bai Qing words are silly music.
"Have you been to the school? Let's take a look. ”
Bai Qingci was naturally curious about the new school, thinking that Tang Fengjuan would not come back for a while, so he simply agreed to go with him to have a look.
"Ahh
"What's wrong?"
"I'll go home and change my clothes, you go downstairs and wait for me first." Bai Qingci looked at the white dots and red vest on her body, and suddenly blushed, she hadn't washed her face and brushed her teeth yet.
After washing, she changed into a water-pink cotton skirt, pulled out a heart-shaped pouch from the cupboard, and put the key inside.
As soon as Ning Xuecheng arrived downstairs, he saw Bai Qingci flying out of the elevator like a bird, smiling sweetly at him, he couldn't help but feel soft in his heart, and gently buckled the hat in his hand on her head.
Bai Qingci looked at the scorching sunshine above his head, lifted the brim of his hat, and said softly, "Thank you." She was not unmoved in her heart, and her closeness to Ning Xuecheng increased by another layer.
A small school is only two streets away from their community, and according to the children's footsteps, it takes more than ten minutes to walk to the child.
The two walked to the school gate with great interest, but before they could walk in, they were stopped by the uncle guarding the door, Bai Qingci vaguely saw the appearance of the teaching building, and the exterior wall was painted with a warm sky blue.
"Let's go back." Ning Xuecheng looked at the increasingly arrogant sunshine, and her fair face flushed slightly.
"Hmm."
On the way back, I met a little boy of five or six years old, who twisted on the adult, dragged and cried, and howled, "I want to eat ice cream!" I'm going to eat ice cream! The adults were afraid that he would have a stomach, so he couldn't help comforting and persuading him with a headache, but the child still cried.
This scene is very similar to the second uncle's Feifei, every time he catches up with the market, he always mutters to the second aunt to buy snacks, and the chickens and dogs jump in the battle, don't swear to snacks. Thinking of his previous life, Bai Qingci couldn't help but take a few more looks.
Ning Xuecheng glanced thoughtfully, and led Bai Qingci into the shop on the side of the road.
Bai Qingci looked at the dazzling ice cream in the freezer, pursed his dry lips, and wanted to eat.
She stepped forward and looked at the blue price tag carefully, the cheapest was a piece of five, and her heart was suddenly cool.
"It's so expensive." She muttered in a low voice that the most expensive store in the village was only five a dollar, and that she had bought two dimes a popsicle a few years ago.
Ning Xuecheng smiled secretly, "You pick one, I'll invite you to eat." ”
Bai Qingci reluctantly took his eyes off the freezer, pretending not to care, and said, "I don't like to eat ice cream." Although she recognized Ning Xuecheng as a friend, she would be disgusted if she ate white food.
Ning Xuecheng glanced at her, "But if you eat two, I'll have a stomach upset." ”
Bai Qingci was about to say, "Then you will eat one."
Ning Xuecheng stared at her faintly, "The teacher said that good children can't eat alone, if you know how to share, I don't mind eating an ice cream with you." ”
Bai Qingci was confused by him, completely defeated in his "good boy" theory, and picked a small pudding from the freezer, but always felt that something was wrong.
took a sip of the milky little pudding, Bai Qingzi squinted his eyes contentedly, cool and comfortable, as if the summer heat had melted into his tongue, Ning Xuecheng was really a good person!
"When the money is repaid, I will also invite you to eat." Although she doesn't know what the day of the extra money will be, she will always remember it.
Ning Xuecheng looked at her moist eyes and smiled without saying a word.
The sun is like fire, Bai Qingci eats ice cream at a speed far less than the ice cream melts, and he rushed to eat a few big bites, but the white juice still flowed all over his hands, sticky and uncomfortable.
Bai Qingci looked at his dirty little hands, glanced at the boy's clean and white palms, and looked at Ning Xuecheng helplessly with autumn-like eyes, as if to say something else.
"I'll buy you a bottle of mineral water."
Bai Qing's words shook like a rattle, "There is a park nearby, and there are public toilets in it." "The night she first came to Jincheng, Bai Wenqing took her once.
Washing his little palms, Bai Qingci lowered his voice mysteriously, "I know there's a fun place, are you going?" ”
"Hmm."
Bai Qingci excitedly took Ning Xuecheng to the place she was thinking about, even though it was almost noon, there were still a few playful children who didn't know how to sun around the two swing frames.
After counting the heads, Bai Qingci was suddenly disheartened, and it was not her turn for a while.
"Let's go, let's go home."
"Not going to swing?" Ning Xuecheng asked.
Bai Qingci shook her head, she didn't want to trouble Ning Xuecheng to wait with her, "It's too sunny." ”
Ning Xuecheng's eyes flashed faintly, "It's okay, then let's come over early in the evening to occupy a place." ”
Bai Qingci didn't speak, Tang Fengjuan was at home at night, and she didn't dare to go out and run around.
"What's for lunch?" Ning Xuecheng asked casually.
Bai Qingci felt a sigh in her heart, remembering that the original lunch had entered Ning Xuecheng's stomach, and now she was penniless again, Cherry's mouth suddenly collapsed, and she said listlessly, "I don't know." "Eat whatever you have left in the fridge.
"Your parents didn't leave you food?"
Bai Qingci shook his head, "No." ”
The two children suddenly looked at each other silently, quite a sense of sympathy.
While speaking, Bai Qingci's stomach gurgled, she clenched her stomach in embarrassment, her face flushed with shame, she shrunk her neck, and she didn't dare to look up at Ning Xuecheng.
Ning Xuecheng couldn't help laughing, as if she hadn't heard, "I'm hungry, let's go eat together." ”
"I don't have any money." Bai Qingci said in a muffled voice.
Ning Xuecheng said generously, "I'll borrow you." ”
has been bothering Ning Xuecheng, Bai Qingci felt sorry in his heart, and was about to refuse, he had already pulled her into a Chinese restaurant on the side of the road, fast and accurate, and directly ordered two curry beef rice.
After eating, the two discussed the taste of beef rice while walking home.
