crimson greed

During the peak period of traffic in city t, the buses on weekends will be overwhelmed.

Today's weather is particularly bright, although it is winter, the sun is faintly cool.

Fei Li got up in the morning to wash up, and combed Qiao Yan's two long combs. She couldn't help pinching her pretty face.

Qiao Yan is like a lazy cat, her eyelashes are trembling when she laughs, and she enjoys the close contact with her at this moment.

"Combine it, my little princess." Fei Li smoothed off her red coat, took her car keys, and took her by the hand to go to the supermarket.

It was only 07:30, and the parking spaces were almost gone. There were still two spaces left. Fortunately, Fei Li took up one, otherwise he would have to go around again to find a parking space.

The dead leaves on the asphalt road take off, like a curved boat, and the sprinkler sweeps across the street while playing music.

Being able to go shopping with Fei Li is the happiest thing for Qiao Yan.

All the way, she held her hand and couldn't bear to let go.Fei Li's fingers are very thin and white, with cool and soft fingertips.The fingertips are trimmed clean, and the faint fragrance of her hair is rippling on her body.

He bumped into a woman head-on, and the two of them separated their hands visibly.

"You don't have eyes when you walk, how can you see the road?" The woman glared at them angrily and walked away.

Joe twitched the corner of his mouth and held her tighter.

Feeling her fingers being squeezed, Fei Li looked down at her without saying anything.

The two entered the hall and shuttled through the crowd.

"Let's see if there's anything you like later."

"No, I'll help you carry your things."

Next, the two were not communicating. They entered the entrance of the supermarket and saw the frenzied buying crowd inside, and they froze in place.

Qiao Yan stuffed a coin and dragged a cart out. Two braids drew a black arc in the air, and the corners of his clothes fluttered in the wind, lively like a lark.

She shook her head curiously, and followed Fei Li to buy daily necessities.

The peach-blossom eyes are raised upwards, which is another indescribable charm.

Fei Li glanced at her out of the corner of her eye, and suppressed her smile.

This child always gave her an unexplainable precocity. I don't know how Tang Xin educated her before. In short, she hopes that Qiao Yan can maintain a pure original heart, and have the clear eyes that she can never find again, and she is not affected by the world. interfere with pollution.

"Ali, there are so many beautiful fish here." Qiao Yan got to the front in a blink of an eye, laying her hands on the glass of the huge fish tank, looking at the pet fish swimming inside with a smile.

Fei Li was choosing a glass, and asked casually, "Do you want to raise Yanyan?"

"Well, it's so cute, but I can't keep it alive." She pouted her mouth with a regretful expression.

"Yeah, fish are too fragile, let's let them go."

The two entered the daily necessities area.

Qiao Yan grabbed her hand with both hands, and Cherry pouted, "There are so many people."

Looking at the crowd passing by in front of her, Fei Li was also speechless, sweating profusely on her back, "The weekend is another activity day, and today is the winter solstice, so it's normal for there to be many people."

It seems so right.

Qiao Yan had no choice but to let go of her hand resentfully.

Fei Li didn't have time to chat with her. She wanted to snap up bedding, daily necessities, 5% off toilet paper, buy 75 get [-] free laundry detergent, as well as fruits and vegetables, eggs and rice, and went back to choose a few dinner plates...

Qiao Yan was in charge of pushing the cart beside her, and ran behind her, her eyes shining like lights when she smiled.

Although it is very fun to go shopping in the supermarket, there are so many people and people are buzzing in my ears, and the roof is about to blow over.

After a while, both of them were so tired that they were panting beside them.

"It's almost time to buy, you're tired from smoking." Fei Li touched her head, saw the fine beads of sweat on her forehead, thoughtfully took out a tissue to wipe her sweat, feeling very sorry.

If she came alone, there would be no need for the little girl to run around with her and suffer.

Qiao Yan shook her head, smiled indifferently, and exhaled through her ruddy lips.

Her eyes were as black as jade, she kept looking at her, stood on tiptoe, stretched out her white and soft fingers to wipe away a drop of sweat from her long eyelashes, "I'm not tired, do you want to take a rest?"

"No need." Fei Li turned around and took the cart to the cashier to settle the payment. The two went to the clothing store on the fifth floor, ready to choose winter clothes for Qiao Yan.

Qiao Yan had sharp eyes and found a store. She had a fair complexion and looked beautiful in any style she wore. The shopping guide kept praising the little girl. Finally, Fei Li bought all three pieces of clothes and two pants she tried on.

When it was time to check out, she opened her wallet and took out a handful of cash to pay the bill.By the way, I counted the remaining money, and it seems that they can last for a while, and with this month's salary, they can live frugally this winter and survive.

Qiao Yan rolled her eyes, seeing her shabby little wallet, felt very awkward.

She likes what Feili buys her, no matter what, but if Feili has no money to live on, she will suffer more than her.

I usually see her staying up late and working overtime, and she has to receive some extra money to maintain their living standards.

Qiao Yan raised her eyelashes, pulled off her sleeve with her fingers, "Ali."

Fei Li looked over, "What's the matter?"

"This dress is ugly, I don't like it. And this pair of pants, like a frog's calf, I don't want these."

"..."

The shopping guide was looking for change. When he heard what they said, he was extremely suspicious of the little girl's eyes, and his face was a little unhappy. He tried his best to smile and said, "Little girl, these clothes are all new styles that are popular this year, and we sell them very well." , this is the last batch sold out, the next batch is empty, and the entire mall can’t buy it.”

"I also think you look good in these outfits. Of course, Yanyan looks pretty and looks good in anything." Fei Li smiled with dimples, and scratched her nose lovingly, "Wear it for the children in your class." It's good to see."

what…

She doesn't want to wear it for those idiots to see.

Qiao Yan pursed her lips, her mind was running fast, her eyelashes trembled, and when she thought of something, her eyes lit up slightly, and the corners of her mouth slightly curled up.

"Alright then, I'll listen to you."

As long as I am in school, I will do homework for those classmates, and I will receive some red envelopes to subsidize the family appropriately, it seems that I will not follow.

Thinking of this, Qiao Yan regained her calm and gentle expression.

—

When the two returned home, Fei Li carried a bunch of things, and Qiao Yan followed suit with three or four bags.

"Come on, don't get tired."

Qiao Yan smiled, "I'm fine."

Fei Li sighed, feeling more and more guilty, Qiao Yan is so small, well-behaved and sensible, the two of them kept silent about what happened last night, and followed her to suffer all day long.

As soon as they arrived at their own floor, they heard a low call in the corridor, and the two of them froze.

Through the dim staircase, a kind-looking woman with half-white hair and a plaid turtleneck sweater stood in front of the door, watching them quietly.

Chen Liyun looked them up and down, shook her head helplessly: "Is it because if I don't come to see you, you will never go home in this lifetime."

Fei Li was startled, "Mom, why are you here?"

"I'm not here to see you. I'm here to see our little Yanyan. Seeing that you're too busy to go back, I'll take care of her for a while."

Chen Liyun, a junior high school teacher, is 60 years old and has reached the age of retirement. She usually raises flowers and plants at home to live with her father, and has nothing to do.

During this period of time, she hadn't participated in anything at home. Regarding Tang Xin's incident, she had a disagreement with her father and brother, so how dare she lick her face and go back.

Qiao Yan, who was standing beside her, recognized this woman. Before her mother ran away, she took care of her for a while and treated her like her granddaughter.

She raised her beautiful face and habitually called softly: "Grandma."

When Chen Liyun saw her, her face burst into laughter, and she looked at her carefully, "My little Yanyan seems to have grown taller and more beautiful. How is your life here, can your little aunt take care of her?" Okay, let's see how I deal with her. If you're not used to it here, go to my place. Grandma has time to take care of you."

"I'm fine here, ah... little aunt takes good care of me." She immediately changed her tone and smiled.

"That's good."

Fei Li ignored them, walked past, took out the key to open the door, and let Dao stretch out his hand to invite, "Ms. Chen, please come in, the small house is humble, don't mind, please trouble your old man to sleep with Yanyan at night .”

Qiao Yan lowered her head silently, and entered the door unhappy.

She doesn't like to sleep with grandma, she would rather sleep alone, why grandma is here now, disturbing their lives.

Feili put all the things she bought in the corner, slowly sorted them out, took out the fresh dumplings she bought, and went to the kitchen to boil the dumplings under the water.

Looking at her busy figure, Chen Liyun turned her head to chat with Qiao Yan, but found that the little girl had run into the room.

Everyone dislikes her as an old man.

But she is a talker, she has been teaching for so many years, and she is used to talking about the principles of educating children at length, but if this method is used on her daughter, she will not get any benefits.

"When I am an old man, then I will do what the old man should do, waiting for you to cook and serve me."

"Okay, I see." Fei Li had nothing to do with her.

It's a good thing for Ms. Chen to come here. She can spare time when she goes on dates. She usually needs to pick up Qiao Yan, but she can do it for her.

The dumplings are ready, and Fei Li has fried a few dishes, which is too much for multiple people.

The three of them ate around the coffee table. Qiao Yan's moist eyes wandered over the two of them, and she ate dumplings obediently with her head down.

Fei Li's phone vibrated a few times, she picked it up and looked at the message, it was a winter solstice message from Qi Xue.

With a smile in her eyes, she sent her a message back.

This scene suddenly fell into Chen Liyun's eyes. Ms. Chen was also a person who came here in heavy wind and rain, and her daughter's thoughts could be guessed just by looking at her eyes.

She gave a low cough, looked at Fei Li with an inscrutable expression, raised her eyes and asked, "Who sent the message? Look at you smiling so sweetly."

"Don't worry about my private affairs."

"My daughter's private affairs, how can I, a mother, stand by and watch? Have you fallen in love with someone?"

Fei Li really wanted to stuff a piece of prawn into Ms. Chen's mouth, she couldn't gossip.

Qiao Yan paused her fingers when she heard the sound, her eyes lingered on the two of them, she lowered her eyelashes slightly, and remained silent.

I just heard Chen Liyun joke: "I am your mother, not your stubborn father, and you are still worried that I will stop you from falling in love."

"I don't know what you're talking about." Fei Li glared at her. Qiao Yan was still on the table, so she wasn't afraid of being heard by the children.

"I don't care who you fall in love with. You are also 21. You know how to measure yourself. If you have someone you like, you can bring it back to me. If you really don't have a good match, I can also help you find it in private. A colleague of mine Daughter, she is studying in England, and she will come back for a walk during the winter vacation. She is pretty, and she will find someone with good eyes like you to live with, and your English is not bad, so the two should be able to chat."

Fei Li didn't say a single word here, Ms. Chen had already calculated carefully for her, and added fortune-telling and marriage fortune-telling.

Really...

She was speechless, and out of the corner of her eye, she turned to Qiao Yan beside her. Fortunately, the little girl couldn't understand, and she ate the most quietly during a meal, and it was better to be innocent.

"I already have someone I like." Fei Li confided without any concealment, tilted her head, and smiled at Chen Liyun with rippling eyes, "Now the other party is still taking the exam, and he can't spare time to see you."

The corner of Qiao Yan's eyes twitched, she stopped her chopsticks silently, and slowly chewed a piece of wild rice stem.
