Duoduo returned to Na Baichuan's house from the store, hurriedly changed her clothes, and when the weather was cool, she put her jet-black hair behind her head, only a butterfly hairpin was obliquely parted, and then wore a goose-yellow silk dress, and set off with Na Baichuan.

About six o'clock when I arrived at the old man's place, I didn't come for a long time, Duoduo looked at the western-style building where the old man lived, the front and back yards were overgrown with weeds, and the withered yellow weeds swayed in the cold wind, which seemed a little depressed.

Na Baichuan called the door several times, and the old man came out of the house and opened the courtyard door for them.

The huge room was deserted, which further set off the loneliness and loneliness of the owner.

Duoduo and Na Baichuan looked at each other speechlessly.

The old man was very happy to see the two of them, and he had already washed the fruit and put it on the coffee table.

Duoduo saw that the old man had lost a lot of weight compared to the last time they met, and it was estimated that there was no one to take care of him in life and he didn't eat well, so he lost weight, and he was a little sad, and asked, "Has Dad had dinner?" ”

The old man smiled shyly: "Not yet, the school cafeteria doesn't sell food for today's holiday, so I specially waited for you to make it, and the ingredients were bought and put in the kitchen." ”

Duoduo asked suspiciously: "Then how does Dad usually eat on holidays." ”

"Of course, you can buy something at a private restaurant." The old man felt that Duoduo was too strange to ask.

Duoduo looked at him speechlessly for a long time, and then said, "I'll make a delicious meal for my dad now." ”

Na Baichuan got up with her: "I'll cook for my dad with you." ”

Duoduo said: "It's rare for the two of us to come here, you can talk to your father, I'll be alone." ”

Although the old man studies academics and likes to be quiet, it doesn't mean that he likes to be lonely, living in such a big house alone, and coming back every day without even a person to talk to, you can imagine how lonely he is in his heart.

Duoduo walked into the kitchen and looked at the ingredients on the desk, his eyes were dark, and he almost couldn't stand steadily.

is really a scholar, he doesn't know anything about firewood, rice, oil and salt, only a few people eat, and he bought so many ingredients, and the ribs alone have several catties.

Duoduo was busy in the kitchen alone for more than an hour, making eight dishes and serving them.

Considering that the old man had hemorrhoids, he didn't dare to put chili peppers in the dishes.

Roasted beef brisket with potatoes, shredded seaweed, roasted pork ribs in sauce, sliced pork with shiitake mushrooms, stir-fried pork belly, sliced lotus root, stir-fried bok choy and a sweet and sour tenderloin.

The old man probably hadn't eaten such a delicious dish for a long time, and he ate so happily that he even ate two bowls of rice.

After eating, he looked at Duoduo with a smile: "If only you weren't busy, I would come to see me with Baichuan every Sunday and cook me a delicious meal!" ”

Duoduo smiled suddenly: "If Dad comes to us when he has time, I will ask my mother to cook for Dad, her cooking skills are better than mine." ”

The old man smiled and said, "Why are you embarrassed to trouble your mother-in-law." ”

Duoduo washed the dishes and chopsticks, cleaned up the kitchen, and talked to the old man with Na Baichuan again, and before he knew it, it was already more than eight o'clock, so he said goodbye to the old man and prepared to go back.

The old man said, "Wait, I have a small gift for you." So saying, he went upstairs.

Duoduo thought to herself, shouldn't she give her jewelry again like last time?

Just as he was thinking, the old man had already come downstairs, and he had a few books in his hands.

The old man walked over to the sofa and sat down, handing the big, thick books to Duoduo.

Duoduo saw that it was the latest Japanese women's tailoring book, and I couldn't help but be overjoyed.

The old man was happy to see her, and he was also very happy: "These books I brought back when I went to Beijing on a business trip, I hope they will help your business." ”

Duoduo flipped through those books in surprise and said, "It must be helpful, and it helps a lot!" ”

When I came back from the old man, after taking a bath, Duoduo still refused to sleep, and kept reading the cut books with them, and finally Na Baichuan forcibly took the books out of her hands, and she barely lay down.

Na Baichuan was about to come out of her room, and Duoduo sat up from the bed again.

Na Baichuan deliberately said with a straight face: "If you don't sleep well, be careful that I spank you." ”

"No, I have something important to tell you."

"Whatever it is, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

"Can't you just say a few words?" Duoduo blinked her eyes cutely, almost turning Na Baichuan into a sprout.

Na Baichuan had no choice but to sit down on the edge of her bed: "If you want to say something, say it quickly." ”

"You see, the old man is only in his fifties, he is still young, and I want to find another wife for the old man, so that he will not live too lonely alone."

"You mean to find me a stepmother?"

Duoduo nodded: "Did you say okay?" ”

Na Baichuan pondered for a moment: "Dad has been hit hard in terms of feelings, and I'm afraid it will not be easy to accept a new relationship." ”

"Try it, I think the old man is so lonely and pitiful."

"We'll plan this slowly, you go to sleep first." Na Baichuan said softly, watching Duoduo lie down and close his eyes, he left.

Tao Cheng'an carried a few oranges back to his unit dormitory, and met Qin Kejiao downstairs, who was with her youngest son.

Seeing this, Tao Chengan hurriedly gave all the oranges in his hand to her youngest son.

Qin Kejiao's youngest son is already an adult, but he doesn't know how to push at all, Tao Cheng'an gave it to him, and he hurriedly took all the oranges.

Qin Kejiao was a little embarrassed and slapped his youngest son: "Why don't you even say a little polite!" ”

Tao Chengan said with a smile: "Your child is generous and good, much better than my child, the country child, when he sees someone, he shrinks his head, and it makes people anxious." ”

When Qin Kejiao heard him say this, the embarrassment on his face dissipated, and he asked, "Where have you been?" ”

Tao Chengan laughed a few times: "Walk around." "So I went back to my bachelor dorm.

Because he ate well and well at Lin Yongfang's place at noon, Tao Chengan didn't eat dinner, took a shower early, and went to bed.

But he never thought that at six o'clock in the evening, Qin Kejiao knocked on his door and gave him two moon cakes and a handful of raw chestnuts: "Although you are out for the Mid-Autumn Festival, you must eat two moon cakes to meet the festival." ”

Qin Kejiao stuffed the moon cakes and raw chestnuts into his hands and left.

Tao Chengan looked at the two five-kernel mooncakes and the raw chestnuts in his hand, and his tears almost fell.

Li Chunhua treated him as an outsider, Lin Yongfang broke with him, in the situation of betrayal and separation, only Qin Kejiao was willing to give him warmth, in his heart, Qin Kejiao's disgusting greased and powdered monkey face was particularly beautiful.

Tao Cheng'an closed the door, sat by the window, looked at the moon outside the window, and ate moon cakes.

The filling of the moon cake seems to be a little moldy, but Tao Chengan didn't take it to heart, not all the spoiled dim sum in the department store were sold to the common people to eat, and he didn't see anyone who ate it.

Tao Chengan only ate one mooncake, and the other he decided to save until tomorrow morning for breakfast. 8910
