Chapter 23: A sense of maturity that does not belong to this age
Liang Yi followed Xiao Muyan home after school, and Xiao Muyan's little hand gently tugged at the corner of Liang Yi's clothes. In the light of the sun, there were two small shadows on the ground. Xiao Muyan raised her head to look at Liang Yi, and then looked down at Liang Yi's shadow on the ground, and the shadow moved from the original side to the back. She turned her head to look at the shadow behind her, but after a moment she let go of the corner of Liang Yi's clothes.
She walked behind Liang Yi, and she was very happy to step on Liang Yi's shadow gently. At this time, the corners of Liang Yi's mouth, who was walking in front, hooked slightly, but after a while, he stopped, and Xiao Muyan forgot his shape because he was playing. She hit Xu Yi's back straight away.
She covered her forehead in pain and looked at Liang Yi with tears in her eyes. Liang Yi turned around and looked down at her slightly, he gently scratched Xiao Muyan's nose, and said to himself: "It seems that you can't change this little problem." ”
Xiao Muyan looked at Liang Yi with some doubts, Liang Yi smiled and pinched her little face: "You walk behind me, aren't you afraid of getting lost?" ”
Xiao Muyan shook her head and looked at Xu Yi: "Don't be afraid, I will not get lost if I have been following you, even if you are really lost, you will find me." Right?! ”
Liang Yi smiled and rubbed her little face, he looked at Xiao Muyan and whispered, "Yes." "Even if you are really lost, I will definitely do everything I can to find you and not let you stay by my side for the rest of your life.
Liang Yi stretched out her hand and looked at Mu Yan with a smile on her face, Xiao Muyan blinked her eyes slightly, and she stretched out her hand as well. They held each other's hands, and the big and the small walked home.
When they were halfway there, they saw an acquaintance, and Liang Yi stopped. The little man who had been looking at Xu Yi blankly saw him stop and follow his eyes, when he saw An Sheng. Xiao Muyan jumped a little excitedly, and she looked at Xu Yi pointing at An Sheng.
"Brother, it's the handsome uncle from the beginning."
Liang Yi said softly 'um' expressionlessly, Xiao Muyan broke free of Liang Yi's hand, trotted to An Sheng's side, and looked up at An Sheng.
"Uncle, why are you here?"
An Sheng bent down with a smile on his face and hugged Xiao Muyan in his arms, and he gently rubbed Xiao Muyan's head: "Because my uncle happened to be here to do something, and he just happened to see you here." ”
After speaking, he also scratched Xiao Muyan's itch, causing Xiao Muyan to laugh and drill into his arms. Liang Yi, who was standing not far away, watched this scene and looked at Mu Yan, who was smiling and falling backwards: "You just said that you would always follow me." ”
An Sheng hugged Xiao Muyan and came to his side, An Sheng put down Mu Yan and asked Liang Yi, "What's wrong, little guy?" ”
Liang Yi raised his head to look at An Sheng, and then shouted softly: "Hello uncle." ”
An Sheng touched his head with a smile and said to them with a smile: "Okay, I'll send you home." I've already said hello to your mother, and now I guess she's already at home ready and waiting for you. ”
When Orange was about to pick up the child, An Sheng suddenly called. He also told her on the phone that he was on his way to pick up the children and asked her to make delicious food and wait for them to come back for dinner.
Orange was standing in the kitchen watching the fish bouncing around in the basin, sometimes splashing water on the floor. Orange is helpless in the face of the fish with a kitchen knife. She saw that they were about to return, and she just fried a plate of shredded pork with vegetables and chili peppers.
If they knew that she wouldn't be able to kill fish and was afraid of killing fish, wouldn't it make people laugh to death, and she wouldn't be laughed at for the sake of this face. She trembled and held the kitchen knife.
Step by step, she came to the fish, and just as she was about to crouch, the fish shook and wet the water on the orange. Orange immediately got up and put the knife down, and was about to go to change clothes when the doorbell rang...
Orange had to go and open the door first, only to see An Sheng holding Mu Yan and Liang Yi standing next to him, looking like a happy family of three. An Sheng looked at the orange with a surprised face, and Xiao Muyan immediately asked the orange when she saw it.
"Mom, what's the matter with you?"
Xiao Muyan got out of An Sheng's arms and walked in front of Orange. She gently tugged at the corner of the orange's clothes: "Mom, why are your clothes wet?" ”
Orange spread her hand and told Xiao Muyan: "That's because my mother is cooking, and the fish is too naughty." ”
She looked at An Sheng again and said, "You guys come in first, I'll go back to the room and change my clothes first." ”
Xiao Muyan took Liang Yi's hand and walked to the living room, they sat on the sofa, Xiao Muyan took out her homework from her schoolbag and asked Liang Yi: "Brother, how do you write this question?" ”
Liang Yi took the homework and looked at the simple math problem, and looked at Xiao Muyan looking at him expectantly. He couldn't help but blush, and when Ansheng walked into the kitchen, he saw the water all over the floor and the fish lying on the ground. He looked at the mess with some helplessness.
He re-caught the fish in the basin, and when he had finished mopping the ground and was about to kill the fish, the orange came in with a change of clothes. She smiled at An Sheng with some embarrassment: "I haven't killed it, this is the first time I have killed a fish, and I have no experience." I ......"
He grabbed the fish and put it on the cutting board, An Sheng looked at the orange with a smile, and his tone was slightly doting: "Okay, I'll just come to this fish." You go out and do your homework with the kids. ”
Orange couldn't help standing here, she looked at it and finally nodded. When An Sheng saw the orange leave, he slapped a kitchen knife at the fish's head. Orange sat on the sofa and watched them do their homework, Liang Yi didn't know what was going on, he didn't like to talk before, so he was arranged to study in a special school, but one day he came over and told her.
"Mom, I want to go to Xiao Muyan's school."
Orange was so surprised that he spoke and offered to ask. She helped him transfer the next semester, so the two siblings went to the same school. One is in preschool and one is in third grade.
Liang Yi's original grades were not ideal, but after transferring to another school, his grades improved by leaps and bounds, and even the teacher felt incredible when he saw him. At this time, Liang Yi was teaching Xiao Muyan to do her homework, and she felt extremely relieved to look at this harmonious atmosphere.
An Sheng walked out and leaned on the door frame to watch this warm scene, he didn't want to disturb it, and in the end, it was Xiao Muyan who broke the silence. When she saw An Sheng, she immediately put down the pen in her hand, ran to An Sheng's side, and smiled sweetly at him.
"Uncle, are you ready?"
Then he smelled the smell coming from the kitchen and immediately ran into the kitchen. When they came in, they saw Xiao Muyan with her hands propped up on the table, she kept sniffing the dishes on the table, and kept chattering in her mouth.
"It's so fragrant, and it looks delicious. I wish I could eat something so delicious every day. ”
Orange came to her and knocked lightly on the table: "Little friend Muyan, please sit down." You're rude like that. ”
Xiao Muyan sat down and made a grimace at the orange, and then ate the dishes on the table. After eating, she looked at An Sheng: "Uncle, how do you cook so delicious, are you a chef?" ”
An Sheng also sat down, he rubbed Mu Yan's little head lightly, and then said to Mu Yan with a smile: "How can you be so smart, I have studied but I am not a chef." ”
After hearing An Sheng's words, she immediately looked at the orange: "Mom, do you want to learn like your uncle." ”
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Orange gently pinched her little face, pretending to be very angry and looking at Mu Yan.
"Now you start to dislike your mother's cooking? I used to shout every day that I wanted to eat my food, but now I think my food is not delicious? ”
Xiao Muyan hurriedly shook her head, she pulled the sleeve of the orange with an innocent expression, she saw that the orange still didn't pay attention to her, and immediately looked at Liang Yi who was sitting on the side.
Liang Yi smiled and didn't say anything, just picked up the dishes on the table and handed it to her, Xiao Muyan pouted and whispered when she saw it: "What, my sister won't help if she is in trouble." ”
In this way, they finished the meal in unison, and after the oranges washed the dishes, they saw that An Sheng had already mingled with Mu Yan. Liang Yi sat on the side and read a book, he always had a sense of maturity that did not belong to his age.
Orange walked up to him and sat down, looking at Liang Yi with a smile: "What's wrong with you, why don't you play with them." ”
Liang Yi looked up at Orange and then at Mu Yan and An Sheng who were not far from him, and he shook his head. He looked at the orange again, his eyes full of inquiry. Orange asked, a little confused.
"What's on my face?"
As he spoke, he touched his face with his hand, Liang Yi continued to shake his head, and finally he spoke: "I think Uncle Ansheng, he is very good." Don't make a fuss. ”
An Sheng was originally playing with Xiao Muyan, but after hearing what Liang Yi said, he immediately ran to their side, patted Liang Yi's shoulder with a smile and whispered to Liang Yi.
"Boy, I didn't expect that. What you said is true, thank you for the assist. ”
Liang Yi didn't pay attention to him just lowered his head and played with his mobile phone, Orange didn't want to take care of them and went back to the room by himself, when An Sheng was about to continue to play with Xiao Muyan, Liang Yi spoke again.
"Uncle, you must be good to my mother, you can't make her sad, you really can't recover it if you are careful."
A few days later, Orange came to the place where Tang Jingbai had been invited, and it had been almost two or three years since they had last met. He looked more mature and steady, Tang Jingbai immediately stood up when he saw the orange coming, he looked at the orange with a smile: "It's been a long time." ”
"yes, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you're getting more mature. What happened when you said you were going to stay in school for a PhD? ”
Tang Jingbai smiled and picked up the teacup on the table and poured it with water, then handed it to the orange: "I'm still reading, that is, I make some reports on the experiment every day." But now I'm still working as a teaching assistant at that school. ”
"If you finish it, you might be able to become an associate professor or something. Holding an iron rice bowl. Feed yourself..."
