Chapter 17, [Guest]
The impression of the landscape is close to the university town.
There is a special computer city nearby, and Lin Zhibai drove there in about twenty minutes.
In this era, it is not difficult to match a computer, choose a good model, you can take it away directly after paying the money, of course, for novice Xiaobai, you can also directly ask the merchant to help with the door-to-door installation, but you need to pay an additional installation fee in advance.
Because Lin Zhibai needs to use a computer to play games, he didn't buy a notebook, after all, that thing is awkward to play games, and it's not fun at all.
………
After choosing a computer and walking around the university town, Lin Zhibai went home.
Back to the impression of the landscape, it is already evening, and the brilliant sunset spreads all over the sky.
As soon as he drove to the gate of the community, Lin Zhibai saw Nana sitting by the flower bed at the entrance of the community, licking the lollipop while shaking her head and looking at the passers-by.
With a move in his heart, Lin Zhibai parked the car on the side of the road, and then walked towards the little girl.
The moment she saw Lin Zhibai, Nana's eyes lit up, and then she ran towards Lin Zhibai, shouting happily as she ran.
"Big brother, big brother."
In fact, Lin Zhibai is a little puzzling.
He didn't understand why this little girl was so dependent on him, and she didn't seem to be afraid of life at all.
Obviously, this is the first time they have met.
Could it be that it's really because he's handsome?
Before she had time to think about it, Nana had already rushed in front of her, and Lin Zhibai hurriedly squatted down and opened her arms to hold her in his arms.
"Nana, did you sneak out to play again?"
Reaching out and tapping the little girl's nose, Lin Zhibai smiled.
"No, Ma Ma is over there."
A milky voice replied, and Nana stretched out her finger somewhere.
Lin Zhibai followed the sound and saw Xia Wanjiao standing in front of a fruit stall picking watermelons.
It seems that this little girl didn't sneak out, but sat on the side and waited for her mother.
Smiling slightly, Lin Zhibai hugged Nana and walked towards Xia Wan's makeup.
………
In fact, her daughter has always been in the field of vision of summer evening makeup, so when Nana ran to Lin Zhibai, summer evening makeup was the first to see it.
"Sister Xia, good evening."
Walking forward, Lin Zhibai said hello.
Looking back, Xia Wanxiang first glared at her daughter, and then looked at Lin Zhibai and smiled.
"I'm sorry for you."
"What's the trouble?"
Waving his hand, Lin Zhibai said casually.
"Do you want to buy watermelon?"
"yes, Nana is greedy and keeps clamoring for watermelon."
After chatting a few words, after selecting the watermelon in the summer evening makeup, several people walked side by side in the community.
Xia Wanxiang lives in Building 16, across the mountain lake from Lin Zhibai's apartment.
Sending Nana to the downstairs of Building 16, Lin Zhibai prepared to return.
At this time, Xia Wan's makeup looked hesitant for a moment, and then said softly.
"I haven't had time to thank you at noon, why don't I invite you to dinner tonight?"
Before Lin Zhibai could reply, Nana tugged on his sleeve and said crisply.
"Big brother, the braised fish made by Ma Ma is delicious."
Lin Zhibai wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he still had to cook when he went home, and he didn't eat the opportunity to eat in vain.
So he said politely.
"Then bother."
………
In fact, inviting Lin Zhibai home as a guest is also a summer evening makeup after careful consideration.
As the saying goes, there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door.
Although the residents in the community are friendly, she can avoid some unnecessary rumors.
That is, Lin Zhibai is young and has a gentle personality.
Otherwise, if she were an average man in her thirties, she really wouldn't dare to invite others easily.
………
The area of the house where Xia Evening Makeup lives is not large, but the decoration is extremely warm.
The living room is neat and spacious, with budding flower bones on the flower stand and children's books stacked on the coffee table.
It is in stark contrast to Lin Zhibai's deserted apartment.
After changing her slippers at the door, Nana happily pulled Lin Zhibai into her small room and showed off her toys and dolls to him.
Summer evening makeup is to change into an apron and go to the kitchen to cook dinner.
………
About half an hour later, the sound of summer evening makeup came from the door of the room.
"Stop playing, let's eat."
The moonlight tonight was beautiful, and the soft moonlight was spilling in through the window.
The table, paved with milky white tablecloths, is already filled with a variety of delicacies.
Just looking at the appearance of these foods can't help but make people's appetite move.
Lin Zhibai is still somewhat restrained.
It was Xia Wanxiang who glanced at him and said generously.
"Sit down, I don't know if you have any taboos, so I can do some casually."
"I don't know if it's to your liking."
"Why, I'm drooling just by smelling it."
Lin Zhibai replied with a smile, and then sat down next to Nana.
………
It's my first visit.
Lin Zhibai didn't talk abruptly nonsense, but occasionally quarreled with Nana during the meal.
On the contrary, Xia Wanxiang asked some information about Lin Zhibai.
I learned the news that he was about to go to school at Su University.
A meal is not very lively, but it is better than warmth.
After the meal, Nana went back to her room to rest, and children of this age went to bed early.
Lin Zhibai wanted to say goodbye and leave, but Xia Wanjiao had to let him eat watermelon before leaving, so Lin Zhibai sat on the sofa in the living room for a while.
After a while, Xia Wanmakeup walked out of the kitchen with a cut watermelon, and Lin Zhibai hurriedly stood up to greet him.
"Don't be so polite, just treat it as your own home."
Smiling slightly, Xia Evening Makeup sat down on the side.
The watermelon was soaked in cold water in advance by the summer evening makeup, so the cold and sweet juice filled the mouth when you bite into it.
Eating a bite of cold watermelon in the summer is really a beautiful thing in the world.
While eating watermelon, Lin Zhibai casually found a topic.
"Sister Xia, is the bubble tea shop closed so early?"
"It's just over seven o'clock in the evening."
Hearing this, Xia Wanxiang glanced at the direction of her daughter's bedroom, and then said gently.
"I can't make any money in the first place, so Nana went to bed early, and I can put her to sleep by closing the door earlier."
I don't know if it's because I haven't chatted with anyone for a long time or because Lin Zhibai feels more cordial to her, and it's rare to chat a few more words in the summer evening.
"I'll tell you the truth, Nana's dad left early."
"Originally, that bubble tea shop was a restaurant that had been renovated."
"I don't know anything about the operation of a bubble tea shop, and this location is average, and the money earned by the bubble tea shop can at most maintain the normal expenses of the family."
"It's hard to balance even the basic store rent."
"So I thought I'd take Nana back to her hometown and her grandmother after a while."
When speaking, Xia Wan's tone was very calm, and there was not much sadness when talking about her deceased husband, but when she talked about her daughter, her expression would have a trace of loss.
