One big and one small are practicing love

It was another Friday night, after class, it was already dark.

When Liu Xiaochen approached the entrance of the teaching building, he suddenly felt the cold air.

I entered the teaching building at around 1 o'clock in the afternoon. The sun was bright and warm, and I was only wearing a loose sweater. The wind is strong and the temperature is dropping now, and the sweater cannot withstand the cold wind.

Liu Xiaochen stood at the door of the teaching building with his schoolbag on his back, hesitating whether to go back to the dormitory to add some clothes.

At this moment, groups of people continued to pour out of the teaching building, and the campus was dark and full of people.

Thinking that it is so crowded and inconvenient to run, there must be a lot of people crowded on the dormitory stairs at this time.

Soon more people will get off work, and buses and subways will become more crowded. In this case, it would be too late to arrive at Zuo Kunmin's house. Aunt Zhang got off work at 8 o'clock and the children went to bed at 9 o'clock, so there was no time.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiaochen stepped into the dark night. The cold wind blew directly into his face and penetrated into his body through the gaps in his sweater. Liu Xiaochen crossed his arms, hunched his neck, and walked quickly towards the station against the crowd.

After walking on the road for a while, my body became cold and my nose ran. I saw a stall selling scarves at the subway station. They were not expensive. I wanted to buy a thick scarf to wrap around my body to keep out the cold.

When Liu Xiaochen was picking out a scarf, the corn stall next to him shouted to Liu Xiaochen: "Little girl, do you want to buy corn and soy milk? It's hot."

"No, thank you." Liu Xiaochen declined. There was half a glass of water left from lunch and a piece of bread in her schoolbag. She would always have these in her schoolbag when she was in a hurry.

Liu Xiaochen picked out a thick scarf with a white background and pink plaid. When he saw that the hanging corner had brown stains, he asked, "Sister, do you have a new one?"

"There should be one. Just wait a moment and I'll look for it." As he said that, the stall owner knelt on the ground and rummaged through a pile of goods.

The stall owner is a middle-aged woman about forty years old, short and plump. At this time, he was lying on the ground with his body curled up and his butt sticking out, looking a little desolate.

While waiting, Liu Xiaochen casually looked around and saw the corn stall owner still yelling at passers-by.

She is a half-white-haired woman with a stooped waist. In the cold wind, she shrinks her neck and clenches her fists. She looks at the people coming and going warily. When someone approaches, she shouts to them: "Want corn or soy milk?" Not loud. Passers-by walked in a hurry, and no one answered her.

"Auntie, give me a corn and a cup of soy milk." Liu Xiaochen said and took out his wallet.

"Okay!" The old man's chapped face was filled with a smile, and he hurriedly opened the lid of the pot. As the heat started to rise, she picked a large corn to put on Liu Xiaochen, then took the soy milk from the foam box and asked, "With sugar or without sugar?" "

"Add sugar."

Holding the warm food, when she looked at the stall again, the chubby woman was kneeling on the ground, still rummaging with her head tilted. There were many unopened bags piled around her. Another passerby stopped at the stall and asked: "Boss, what are these?" How much does it cost?" The woman looked up and said, "Twenty in total."

"Sister, stop looking for it, just this one." Liu Xiaochen pulled the stained scarf off the shelf and wrapped it around himself. Take out a twenty dollar bill.

The woman stood up, her knees were covered with dust, and she didn't pat her hands. She smiled and said, "I clearly remember that there is a new one, so I'll give you two yuan cheaper."

The woman took the money and lowered her head to look for change. Liu Xiaochen said, "No need to look for it. It won't affect keeping warm." With that, he trotted away.

Arriving downstairs at Zuo Kunmin's house, he swiped his card and entered the building. As soon as I walked in, I felt the heating. It was really warm. Take the elevator, walk through the corridor, and you will soon reach the door. The cell phone rang suddenly. Liu Xiaochen took it out and saw that it was Zhang Cheng and smiled.

I was about to pick up the phone, but I thought I was about to go in. The children were here and it would be inconvenient to talk. After more than half a month, Zhang Cheng was finally willing to talk to her, so he seized this opportunity to win his forgiveness.

There are still 15 minutes until 8 o'clock, so there's still enough time.

So Liu Xiaochen turned to the walking staircase next to him and answered the phone.

During this period, I wore headphones too much, which made me angry and my ears hurt. Liu Xiaochen looked around and saw no one, picked up the phone and clicked the play button.

"Zhang Cheng, you are finally willing to talk to me." Liu Xiaochen said excitedly.

"Have you finished writing the [-]-word examination?"

Liu Xiaochen sat casually on a concrete step and said, "I don't even have time to do my homework now. Can you apologize in a different way?"

"Come to play with me this weekend?"

"I don't have time on weekends. Just look at it like this. If you like something, pick one and I'll buy it and send it to you."

"Alas! Liu Xiaotu, I'm not telling you..." Zhang Cheng became anxious and said, "I told you last time, don't take care of your children for that teacher Zuo anymore. Not only did you not listen, you also intensified your teachings. You don't go to school well, you don't go back to the dormitory, and you take care of other people's children day and night. You worked so hard in high school and went to college just to be a nanny."

Just know that Sun Xinxin told Zhang Cheng all about her recent situation.

"Zhang Chengjie, I didn't give up studying." Liu Xiaochen said categorically, "I only skipped elective courses. I read all the textbooks and took notes, so I could pass the exam. I memorized words, did papers, and did homework. Not left behind.”

"Sun Xinxin told me that you don't care about the library now, and you don't take the accounting certificate exam anymore. You get up early every day and work late at night. Liu Xiaotu, your teacher Zuo is so rich, it's not easy to find a babysitter. , is it worth asking you, a college student, to do this? Does he think that he has helped you before and now he asks you to do this to repay him?"

"Zhang Cheng, don't talk nonsense." Liu Xiaochen stood up angrily and said urgently: "I am willing to do this!" After saying this, he sneezed three times in a row.

When Liu Xiaochen calmed down, Zhang Cheng asked: "Liu Xiaotu, where are you now? Do you have a cold?"

Liu Xiaochen wrapped himself tightly in a scarf, ignored Zhang Cheng's question, and said softly: "I like Yanyan and Xiaoxu very much. Yanyan is smart and well-behaved, and Xiaoxu is lively and cute. I also learned a lot when I stayed with them. Things like watching art exhibitions, listening to concerts, museums, and listening to lectures, I can’t learn any of these things in school.” As he spoke, Liu Xiaochen couldn’t help but sneeze again.

"Hey, are you still here? Zhang Cheng is here."

"Here, tell me."

Liu Xiaochen sniffed and continued: "When I was buying scarves at the subway station today, I saw those stall owners struggling to survive in the cold wind, without warmth, warmth, cleanliness, dignity, or rest, just for a meager income. My parents and I are like this. As a low-class person, I should have lived this kind of life. Because of Teacher Zuo and Teacher Wang, I can accompany my children to study, read and gain knowledge in a warm big house. Zhang Chengjiu, I have suffered real hardships. Now I am very lucky and happy.”

"Liu Xiaotu, I heard an echo. Is it in the corridor?" Zhang Cheng softened his voice and refused to answer Liu Xiaochen's words. "I called you because I wanted you to give me the resumes of Yuting and Xinxin. Show it to your teacher Zuo. See if they can go to Shuguang Primary School and participate in this year's New Year's Day party performance."

“Is there no official channel for submitting resumes?”

"The official recruitment clearly stated that they wanted college students from prestigious schools. Our ordinary university didn't even qualify for interviews. This time, their school's New Year's Day performance included the famous Japanese dance artist Matsuyama. You know, they have always wanted to see it with their own eyes. Matsuyama’s performance, I dream of working with Matsuyama.”

"The official has made a request, so asking Teacher Zuo to recommend it is unnecessary!"

"You don't need to be embarrassed. I asked around and found out that each student's parents have a few recommendation places and the conditions are relaxed. I just asked Teacher Zuo to submit the information as a recommendation. Whether you are admitted or not, it depends on the school's requirements. There is no need for him to say anything good. Okay. Let’s stop talking. It’s such a cold day, don’t freeze outside, and go back quickly.” Zhang Cheng finished speaking and hung up the phone.

Liu Xiaochen patted the dust on his butt, opened the door and went in.

The big room was silent. I changed my shoes and walked in. I saw Aunt Zhang leaning on the sofa, dozing off. He patted Aunt Zhang on the shoulder and said, "Aunt Zhang, I'm here. Please go home and rest."

Aunt Zhang rubbed her eyes, yawned, and said, "Xiao Xiao! You're here. Xiao Xu and Yan Yan are both doing homework in the study."

Liu Xiaochen went back to his room and put down his schoolbag, then came out and prepared to go to the study to accompany the children.

As soon as Liu Xiaochen left the room, he saw Zuo Kunmin walking from the door. He was wearing a navy blue windbreaker and a light gray plaid suit. He took off his windbreaker as he walked closer and said, "Xiaoxiao, come here, I have something." Let me tell you."
