Chapter 8: Who Was Reading the Novel Just Now
Zhang Chenghui didn't notice the novel that fell on the ground at all, she was heartbroken, hugged Bai Qiaoqiao, and said continuously: "Qiaoqiao, what's wrong with you?" How much has you been wronged? Crying so sad? Did Bai Tong bother you with your review here just now? It's okay, tell my mother, I can't be wronged, and I quietly shed tears here alone. ”
Zhang Chenghui's voice was very loud, Bai Jianshe was preparing to wash and sleep, listening to such a voice, his heart jumped, could it really be his daughter who provoked Bai Qiaoqiao?
Hearing this, he couldn't help but rush into Bai Tong's room angrily, and was about to question Bai Tong.
But seeing Bai Tong lying on her bed, she had already slept soundly, and the white gauze on her forehead clearly reminded Bai Jianshe that Bai Tong was injured, and Bai Tong had already rested.
Bai Jianshe could only turn around and go to Bai Qiaoqiao's room to see what was going on.
In Bai Qiaoqiao's room, Zhang Chenghui still hugged Bai Qiaoqiao's head tightly and pressed her to her chest, with a sad and angry face: "Qiaoqiao, cry, cry as much as you want, mom is here, no one can bully you." ”
Bai Qiaoqiao couldn't cry or laugh, she was just fascinated by the novel just now and immersed in the plot, but now that she was being held by her mother like this, she didn't dare to struggle, so she could only look at the novel that had inadvertently fallen to the ground just now, and secretly hoped that it would be better not to be discovered by her mother.
She even quietly moved her toes, trying to kick the novel under the desk first.
Bai Jianshe just walked in, watching the mother and daughter hugging and crying, and looking at Bai Qiaoqiao's toes, as if trying to reach the book on the ground, Bai Jianshe took a step forward, kindly picked it up for Bai Qiaoqiao, and patted the ash on it casually.
This beat, he saw it clearly.
What kind of study book is this, this is simply a novel, and the big words "A Curtain of Dreams" are printed on the cover.
Bai Jianshe is a worker, not a rough man in the countryside who doesn't know anything.
In the factory, he often listened to those female workers talk about how sensational the novels written by Qiong Yao were, and how tragic the heroine of this dream was, they often cried while reading them.
He held the novel book, and his face was a little ugly to stand in front of the mother and daughter who were still holding their heads in pain, and asked Bai Qiaoqiao with a dark face: "Were you reading this novel just now?" ”
Bai Qiaoqiao listened to Bai Jianjian's question, and her courage jumped twice.
She didn't care about pretending to be anything, so she immediately straightened up from Zhang Chenghui's arms and said repeatedly: "Dad, no, I didn't watch it." ”
"And how do you have this novel at your feet?" Bai Jianshe asked.
"I don't know." Bai Qiaoqiao said in a panic.
But after saying this, she didn't feel convincing, she could only say: "I didn't know how just now, there was suddenly such a book in my schoolbag, and I was wondering, how could there be such a book in this schoolbag." ”
When Zhang Chenghui heard this, he immediately trained Bai Qiaoqiao: "Qiaoqiao, how can you be so confused? There is an inexplicable extra book in the schoolbag, is this someone deliberately framing you, so that you can be distracted by reading novels and delay your studies. ”
As soon as she said this, she reminded Bai Qiaoqiao, and Bai Qiaoqiao immediately followed Zhang Chenghui's words and said, "Mom, was it just now, Bai Tong quietly stuffed it into my schoolbag?" ”
Saying this, Zhang Chenghui immediately set his eyes on Bai Jianjian: "Lao Bai, look at ......."
Bai Qiaoqiao also moved her gaze to Bai Jianjian, with a cautious demeanor: "Dad, I don't suspect that it is Tong Tong, but she came here inexplicably just now, and she wants to study with me, you must know that in the past, she didn't say anything to me at all, let alone come to study with me." All of a sudden, so perverse, of course, is suspicious. ”
These words are reasonable and well-founded, and Bai Jianshe has already believed seven or eight points in his heart.
He is so tired every day, busy in and out, often only sleeps six or seven hours a day, and the rest of the time, he is working to earn money, that is, counting on the two children to compete for some gas in reading.
He is not a visionless person, he works in the factory every day, of course he knows that only by studying hard can there be a way out.
But now, whether Bai Qiaoqiao is reading a novel or Bai Tong is reading such a novel, he doesn't want to see it.
Thinking about it, Bai Tong had already fallen asleep, and he was sleepy and tired now, and he didn't want to do anything at this moment.
He just said: "This novel, put it here for the time being, I'm empty, and then I'll interrogate Tong Tong." ”
After speaking, he took the novel and turned around and left Bai Qiaoqiao's room.
As a stepfather, of course, he knows how to avoid suspicion, and he usually has nothing to do, and he will not enter Bai Qiaoqiao's room at all.
If Zhang Chenghui hadn't made such a big fuss today, saying that Bai Qiaoqiao was bullied and cried, he would never have entered the room to take a second look.
Looking at Bai Qiaoqiao's room, with large and small celebrity photos posted on the wall, Bai Jianshe didn't say anything other than shaking his head.
Zhang Chenghui watched Bai Jianshe leave, and persuaded Bai Qiaoqiao bitterly: "Qiaoqiao, you must be well-behaved, you must be obedient, don't be taken away by others, your mind must be used for studying, you know?" Look at your mother, being a vegetable farmer, facing the loess all day long, how hard it is, you have to study hard and be admitted to university as soon as possible, so that you can hope to jump out of this farm, you know? ”
Bai Qiaoqiao said obediently: "Mom, you told me this since I was a child, of course I remember it in my heart, I will study hard, of course I want to go to university, in the future, you don't have to work so hard, and grow vegetables again." ”
Seeing that her daughter was so obedient, Zhang Chenghui nodded with satisfaction, and then went back to her room with Bai Jianjian.
What's the matter, I have to take this opportunity to say two bad things about Bai Tong.
It's a pity that when she entered the house, Bai Jianshe was too tired and fell asleep on the bed.
Zhang Chenghui shook her head helplessly, she thought that early tomorrow morning, she would go to the farmers' market to sell vegetables, so she quickly went to bed, turned off the lights and went to bed.
Bai Tong fell asleep, there was no one at home, it seemed that Bai Jianshe went to work, and Zhang Chenghui went to sell vegetables.
Bai Tong got up, turned on the honeycomb coal stove by himself, and made himself breakfast.
In the pot, there was also porridge that had been boiled last night, Bai Tong had warmed a bowl, and as soon as it was served on the table, ready to eat, Bai Qiaoqiao walked out of her room.
Bai Tong raised his eyelids lightly and looked at Bai Qiaoqiao's words, but did not speak.
They didn't get up until this time, and they were lazier than her, a patient.
He is usually at home, if he hadn't gotten up at six o'clock, Zhang Chenghui would have said that he was lazy, but now Bai Qiaoqiao didn't get up until nine o'clock.
Bai Tong lowered his head and prepared to eat by himself.
With a "snap" sound, Bai Qiaoqiao stepped forward, snatched the chopsticks in Bai Tong's hand, and slapped them on the table.
