In the afternoon at the end of May, there is no noisy cicada chirping, under the scorching sun, the farmers who rush to the morning and evening blow the fans at home, the village is peaceful and calm, and occasionally a cool breeze blows, and the green plants swing weakly.

The sound of the motorcycle's engine broke the tranquility of the mountain village, Su Meng drove the motorcycle to the door and stopped, Su Xiaoting, who was wearing a pink helmet, was wearing a short shirt and shorts, wearing a pair of small sandals, walking behind, closing the courtyard door, turning over and climbing into the back seat of the motorcycle.

"Hold on."

"Hold on." After a question and answer, Su Meng looked down and saw that the little girl's hands grabbed her clothes, so she loosened the clutch and twisted the accelerator, and drove the motorcycle out of the village.

Although the sun is shining, the road from Shuangtang Village to the town is built along the river, there are many mountains and waters, the motorcycles are moving, the wind blowing in the face is cool with water vapor, and the sun does not feel hot on the skin.

They went to the town this time, Su Meng wanted to buy glutinous rice and other materials for making zongzi, and Su Xiaoting made an appointment with her friends at the same table to go to the town together today.

When passing by Qiqi's village, Su Meng picked up the little girl who was waiting at the entrance of the village, and soon arrived at the polder in the exchange of squeaky chatters between the two little girls.

Stopping the car and letting the two little girls get out of the car, Su Meng didn't leave in a hurry to buy something, but asked Su Xiaoting again: "You really don't need me to wait for you?" Last night, Su Xiaoting told him that she had made an appointment with her table mate today, and according to their plan, they would meet at the gate of the primary school first, and then wait for the shuttle bus to go, but Su Meng said that she was also going to the town to buy things, so Su Xiaoting changed her mind and took his ride.

As for the return trip, Su Xiaoting didn't know how long she would play, so she didn't promise to come back with Su Meng, and she didn't need him to wait.

Her reason is also very simple, when she thinks of someone waiting, she doesn't have a lot of fun to play, and she always feels like time is pressing.

"No, we'll just take the shuttle bus back then." Su Xiaoting waved her hand aggressively.

Kiki also smiled with a small face and said, "Uncle, we can do it ourselves!" ”

"Okay then." Su Meng frowned, and told them uneasily,

"You have to be vigilant, don't be deceived, if you are bullied, or find that something is wrong, Xiaoting, you will take Qiqi to the second mother-in-law's shop, you know?"

"Got it, let's go first!" After speaking, Su Xiaoting pulled Qiqi into the polder market. The polder day in Nanling Town is 369, and today is the 28th, not the polder day, and it is noon, so there are not many people in the polder market.

Su Meng sat on the motorcycle with her feet on the ground, looked at the backs of the two little girls holding hands, and suddenly sighed and smiled helplessly.

He was laughing at himself, when he was his age with Su Xiaoting, not to mention taking advantage of his friends to take advantage of it, it was common for him to walk seven or eight kilometers alone in the middle of the night to go to the Internet café in the town to play games all night, and he didn't feel scared at that time, but now in broad daylight, he was worried because his daughter was shopping with his friends.

You must know that the law and order and atmosphere in Nanling Town at that time were even worse than now, there were many rotten boys, and it was not news that sneak robberies and drag racing fights.

In the end, he is a father, the roles are different, and the thoughts are naturally different. However, he was not too worried, seven or eight-year-old children took their own cars to take advantage of the polder, which is also a common thing in Nanling, and he often saw many children wandering around the polder without adult supervision.

Adults can't control it, even if the child is locked in the house, someone will climb down the sewer pipe from the second floor, of course, this is rare, but it is not impossible.

The feet grow on the child, and when the adult turns around, the child will sneak out, be beaten and scolded, and then talk about it, this time I admit my mistake, and I dare to do it next time.

Anyone like Su Xiaoting who can talk to her family can be regarded as sensible. The voices of the two little girls disappeared around the corner, and Su Meng retracted his gaze and drove to the market.

He can be so relieved, and a more important factor is that he has not heard of the news of a child being abducted and trafficked in Nanling Town, but he has occasionally heard of it before buying a daughter-in-law.

Speaking of Su Xiaoting, this is the first time she has come to take advantage of the situation without an adult, so the little girl is a little excited.

"Kiki, where are we going?" Su Xiaoting was not familiar with the road in front of her, whether she came with Su Qinghe or Su Meng, she had not gone too deep on this short street.

"Go to the bubble tea shop, on such a sunny day, first go to the bubble tea shop to drink a cup of icy sweet milk tea, blow the air conditioner, and you can also order French fries, chicken tenders and other things to eat." Qiqi is obviously not the first time to come, she is familiar with the way, and pulled Su Xiaoting into a milk tea shop, it was the weekend, there were a lot of people in the milk tea shop, basically all of them were students, sitting in groups of three or five, some were playing games, some were playing poker, it was very lively, it was also very noisy, and there were many people who smoked, which made Su Xiaoting, who entered this kind of place for the first time, feel a little uncomfortable.

"Xiaoting, what do you want to drink, you can order it if you like it, this side is a snack, you can order whatever you want." Qiqi took a menu, showed Su Xiaoting the front and turned to the other, and then said the most important sentence,

"I invite you." Su Xiaoting looked at it again and again, she knew all the words on the menu, but except for snacks such as grilled chicken wings and roasted leeks, she couldn't recognize what the other snacks were just by looking at the picture, and she didn't know if they were delicious or not, the same is true of the milk tea on the other side, she has drunk milk and tea, but once these two words are combined, she has never drunk them.

"You order, I will drink whatever you drink, and I will eat whatever you order." Su Xiaoting, who didn't know where to start, simply handed the menu to Qiqi.

Seeing this, Kiki didn't shirk it, ordered her favorite mint custard, and ordered another fries, two hot dogs, and a chicken corn.

"Peppermint custard is super delicious, sweet and refreshing to drink." Su Xiaoting was noncommittal, it didn't matter what she drank, she hadn't drunk it anyway, it was all new things, and when she saw Qiqi go to the counter and come back, she asked, "Qiqi, do you often come to drink this?" ”

"It's not very often, my mother will bring me here when she is at home, but my grandfather won't let me drink this, and he will often count my parents down." As she spoke, Kiki suddenly lowered her voice,

"Let me tell you, before I came out, my grandfather told me not to drink milk tea, but when he gave money, he obviously gave too much, and I didn't need so much money to buy books." hearing

The word "Mom", Su Xiaoting's eyes flashed a hint of darkness, she was a little envious of this little girlfriend at the same table, although her academic performance was not so good, although her parents couldn't accompany her when they were working outside, but her mother really loved her, and she would still take her to drink milk tea and have a happy time together.

As for myself, I have forgotten what my mother looks like, and every time I think of it, there is only one outline in my mind, and my face is a fog.

But when she heard the latter words, she couldn't help but laugh a little,

"So your grandfather knew that you would definitely come to drink milk tea, so he gave more money."

"Fortunately, he gave more money, otherwise I wouldn't have money to drink milk tea." Kiki was glad that she didn't have the courage to use the money to buy books to drink milk tea, in addition to being afraid of being beaten, she was also afraid that the guild would be disappointed, after all, her academic performance had already disappointed the old man.

"I can ask you." Su Xiaoting pressed her hand on her trouser pocket, she also came to buy something this time, and she brought a lot of money.

"Next time, invite me." Qiqi said with a smile, looking at Su Xiaoting's movements, she thought of Su Xiaoting's purpose this time,

"By the way, have you figured out what to buy for your birthday?"
