Chapter 7 Do what you like
Knock knock!
"Daddy, there's a knock on the door!" McBow's crisp cry came through the roar of the range hood.
Maizi was turning the vegetables in the pot, and he couldn't spare his hand: "Baby, go open the door and see if it's Uncle Xu!" ”
"Is Uncle Xu back?" McPauch opened the door.
The uncle standing outside the door is a little familiar, where have you seen it?
Mai Bao tilted his little head, trying to think in his head.
After Ye Zifan finished dealing with the work at hand, he came to the place where he first met Wheat, and the community in the evening was full of people, not as deserted as the day before yesterday. I found an old man in the courtyard and inquired about it, and immediately pointed out Maizi's home. Ye Zifan found it without much effort.
Knocked on the door for a long time, no one responded, I thought I was going to pounce on the air today, I just wanted to turn around and leave, I heard a "squeak" The door opened from the inside, and then poked out a small head, and the little man at the door looked at himself blankly.
Mabel! It seems that I am not looking for the wrong place.
Ye Zifan smiled and looked kind: "Mai Bao, you don't know your uncle anymore!" ”
The villain suddenly had an epiphany: "Uncle, it's you!" ”
"Mai Bao, where's your father?"
"Daddy's cooking!"
"Won't you invite your uncle in and sit?"
Dad often said that you can't open the door to strangers, and you can't let strangers into the house. But Dad said that this uncle was his friend, and since he was a friend, he was not a stranger, so he should be allowed to come in! While Mai Bao was still fighting fiercely, someone had already walked in in a dignified manner.
Ye Zifan looked around at this house of only a few dozen square meters, the house had no decoration at all, just painted white walls, even the floor was still cement and had not been treated, and some of the paint on the walls had fallen off, revealing the gray walls. The narrow living room has a dining table and sofa, so there is no room for it, and the furniture is very old.
I didn't expect Maizi's life to be more embarrassing than I thought, what has Maizi experienced in the past five years? Ye Zifan frowned, his heart was heavy.
"Uncle, are you here to find my father?" The soft voice interrupted Ye Zifan's thoughts.
When I lowered my head, I saw Mai Bao's bright eyes staring at the beautifully packaged carton in his hand, and his face was full of curiosity.
"Uncle is here to find Mai Bao, this is for you, do you like it?" Ye Zifan stuffed the carton into Mai Bao's hand.
Xu hadn't heard his son's movement for a long time, and after Maizi put out the vegetables in the pot, he hurriedly walked out of the kitchen before he had time to put down the shovel. There was an uninvited guest in the room, and his son gathered around him, and the two of them were squatting on the floor of the living room with their heads against their heads, not knowing what they were fiddling with.
Who is this man? How can this kid let strangers into the house casually!
Maizi frowned, her dark eyes fixed on the man's broad back. The man wears an off-white T-shirt with a wide and smooth line on the back, which Maizi will never forget for the rest of his life. His eyes widened in horror, his body trembled uncontrollably, and the shovel in his hand slid to the ground, smashing on the gray concrete floor with a crisp "bell" sound.
The sound alarmed the two people in the living room, one big and one small, turned their heads and looked at Maizi blankly.
Facing the handsome face of the man, his heart jumped uncontrollably, or he pretended to be calm and said bluntly: "How did you get in?" ”
Ye Zifan looked at the hostile Maizi in front of him, and smiled innocently: "I'll come to see Mai Bao!" ”
"Whoever allowed you to come in, get out!" Maizi opened the door, his face darkened, as if he was chasing a customer.
Ye Zifan sighed helplessly, his face full of sadness: "Maizi, don't be like this, I really don't mean anything else, I just want to see if you're doing well!" ”
"Now that you see it, it's time to go!"
Ye Zifan turned his head and looked at Mai Bao who was dazed on the side pitifully: "Mai Bao, uncle is leaving, and I can't come to see you in the future!" ”
Mai Bao looked puzzled: "Uncle, why can't you come to see Mai Bao in the future!" ”
"Uncle turned out to have done something wrong to make your father angry, and he won't let your uncle come in the future!"
Mai Bao looked at Ye Zifan reluctantly, ran to Maizi's side, pulled the corner of his father's clothes, and pleaded: "Dad, don't you say that you are a good child if you know your mistakes and can change them?" Uncle already knows that he is wrong, shouldn't we forgive him? ”
was watched by his son's expectant gaze, and Maizi's heart was really mixed with flavors. Mai Bao, who has always recognized his life, would plead with himself for a person who has only met twice and is not familiar at all, which has never happened before.
Maizi looked at the villain in front of him in shock, and didn't know how to respond.
Seeing that his father ignored him, Mai Bao continued his efforts: "Dad, my uncle also gave me a gift, and he is good to Mai Baoke!" ”
Holding the gift to his father like a treasure, Maizi found that his son was holding a brand-new simulated remote-controlled sports car in his hand.
The brand-new toy car was like a fuse that ignited the anger accumulated in Maizi's heart, with a gloomy face, he pulled his son over, pulled out the car he was hugging tightly from his hand, and reprimanded him sharply: "Mai Bao, how many times has Dad told you, you can't just open the door to a stranger, you can't just take something from a stranger!" ”
Mai Bao lowered his eyelids and whispered in defense: "But Uncle is not a stranger, isn't he a friend of Dad?" ”
Mai Bao has always been well-behaved, will not disobey himself, let alone talk back to himself. But he violated himself again and again for Ye Zifan.
Sure enough, Mai Bao was different to Ye Zifan.
Maizi hesitated, not knowing how to explain his relationship with Ye Zifan to his son.
Ye Zifan on the side saw this opportunity and stepped forward to ease the atmosphere: "Maizi, don't blame Mai Bao for this today, you are angry with me, don't make noise with the child!" ”
Mai Zi raised his eyes and met the man's smiling face, and Ye Zifan in his memory had never shown such a look to anyone. The arrogant and uninhibited handsome face was full of flattery, and Maizi was in a trance.
Ye Zifan saw the stitches: "A toy, don't take it too seriously!" Isn't it normal for me to buy a toy for my child as an elder! ”
Stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, no matter how big the grievance is, Maizi will lose his temper in an instant.
The son next to him kept staring at the car in his hand with dark eyes full of reluctance, and the fiery red body burned his palms like flames. Maizi didn't know that his son liked this car very much, and he had seen it many times in the mall, although he wanted it very much, he still knew that the price was too expensive, and he didn't ask for it.
Maizi really couldn't bear to see Mai Bao's little face that collapsed due to disappointment, and sighed helplessly: "Mai Bao, don't thank you uncle!" ”。
Mai Bao jumped over with joy and held the car, and took Ye Zifan's hand and thanked him: "Thank you, uncle!" ”
"You're welcome, as long as Mabel likes it!" Ye Zifan smiled harmlessly.
"Then uncle, how do you move this?" McPelle fiddled with the car with questions on her face.
"Use the remote control, just install the battery!"
"Let's give it a try!" Ye Zifan took out a remote control with a beautiful wheel shape from the box and installed the battery. At the push of a switch, the flaming red sports car is brought to life, drawing a perfect arc on the dark gray concrete floor.
"Wow, that's cool!" Mai Bao clapped her little hands and jumped and jumped excitedly.
"Let me try, let me try!" Mai Bao ran to Ye Zifan's side, stretching out his little hand and looking eager to try.
Ye Zifan squatted down and wrapped his arms around Mai Bao's small body, and his wide palm was applied to the fleshy little hand, explaining and demonstrating. Under the command of the two of them, the stationary body jumped alive like a flame.
"Mai Bao, turn left, turn left, you're going to hit the wall!"
"Go straight, go around the chairs! Yes, turn ......"
The excited cries of the two mixed with the roar of the engine filled the small space.
Maizi looked at the elated two, suddenly felt weak, silently picked up the shovel on the ground, turned around and walked into the kitchen.
Ye Zifan raised his head and stared at the thin back, a smug smile flashed on his lips.
