Be gentle

Since the second day of junior high school, relatives have been coming to the store one after another to give New Year's gifts, and Zhao Xingxing's arrival today is by no means a surprise.

But when facing Zhao Xingxing, Huaran obviously felt a little uncomfortable.This man is like a vigilant wolfhound, on guard against anyone who approaches the mother and daughter of the Bai family.Huaran didn't know what she was afraid of, she just felt that she had nothing to hide from being watched by that gaze.

"Sister Ran, what's the matter with you?" Bai Shuyi realized that something was wrong with her at this moment, and stretched out his hand to shake in front of her, "Why are you distracted?"

"It's okay, Xiaobai..." She sat down again, and asked after a while, "Brother Xing, is he your cousin?"

"Hey, no, he is Uncle Zhang's son, and Uncle Zhang is my grandfather's apprentice...Well, you probably don't understand it. Anyway, we are not related by blood, but we are closer than brothers and sisters."

"So that's how it is..."

Seeing Huaran's absent-minded look, Bai Shu suddenly realized something, and said nervously: "Sister Ran, you don't like Brother Shangxing, do you?"

"Ah?" Hua Ran was still afraid one moment, but the next moment she was so frightened by Bai Shuyi's words that she dropped her handkerchief, "No, how could it be... eh..."

As soon as Bai Shu misunderstood her panic, he took her hand and said earnestly: "Sister Ran, although Brother Xing is very handsome, but you must not like him, it will hurt you."

Trapped in the reality of poverty, Huaran really does not have the girlish feelings of ordinary adolescent girls.Not to mention considering the issue of love, she has been very wary of men so far.When Bai Shu said this suddenly, she was really at a loss.

"No... I don't like him... I've only met him twice... How could it be..."

Seeing Huaran's incoherent speech, Bai Shuyi sighed and said sincerely: "Brother Xing took me out to play before, and I was approached several times and asked for contact information. It was really scary."

Bai Shuyi and Zhao Xingxing seem to have a good relationship, but they obviously have no romantic affection for him.Huaran was a little surprised why she was so nervous about this matter, and asked subconsciously: "What does it mean to be injured? Brother Xing, he...uh..."

When Bai Shu saw that her thoughts were wrong, he quickly clarified: "No, no, brother Xing is not careless at all, he is too infatuated. Sigh... Anyway, you don't like him, even if you are so beautiful, sister Ran, he won't let you down. I won't like you either, I don't want to see you sad for him."

The little girl obviously said this in a hurry, and she didn't know whether she was praising or hurting others.Fortunately, Hua Ran really had no other thoughts about Zhao Xingxing, seeing Bai Shuyi's sincere appearance at this time, a warm current flowed through her heart.

"Don't worry, Xiaobai, I don't want to think about this issue yet."

When Bai Shu saw her speaking decisively, he patted his chest and heaved a sigh of relief, "It's okay, brother Xing is now a policeman again, and he looks even more handsome in uniform. Many girls like him, and I'm so worried about them. "

There are countless slots in Bai Shuyi's sentence, but Huaran's mind has already been attracted by two words in it.

"You said he was a policeman?"

"Ah? Didn't I say that before? My brother is a policeman. He was transferred to this neighborhood a while ago. Let him cover us from now on."

Policemen.

Huaran has always been in awe of this profession. In the past, she respected many, but now she fears many.Because of Zhao Xingxing, she didn't sleep well for several nights, and the two met again within a few days.

Bai Wenxue decided to take stock of the goods in the store before Bai Shuyi started school, and Zhao Xingxing came to help.It is obviously not the first time he has come to help, and he is more familiar with Huaran.

Bai Shu looked very weak at first glance, but he was not weak, and his physical strength was quite good.She and Zhao Xingxing were in charge of transporting and arranging, while Huaran helped Bai Wenxue check the goods.

The physical activity Huaran has always been rushing to do it, but this time it was persuaded by Bai Wenxue.Bai Shu has a sloppy temper and can't calm down. This kind of distribution is the most reasonable.

Compared with previous years, this year's inventory is much easier.In addition to having one more person to help, what is more important is that Huaran has counted all the goods on the shelves during the learning process, and recorded every entry and exit, so today it is only necessary to organize the warehouse part.

The four of them were busy all afternoon, and the inventory work was basically over by dinner time.Bai Wenxue kept Zhao Xingxing to have dinner together, and the four of them closed the door and set up tables in the shop for dinner.

Bai Wenxue took a bottle of red wine and poured it for the adults, while Bai Shu continued to drink her coconut milk.

Zhao Xingxing hadn't had dinner with the mother and daughter of the Bai family for a long time, and he seemed to be in a good mood at night, chatting with Bai Wenxue all the time.As soon as Bai Shu sat beside Huaran, he wanted to catch up on what was going on there for a while, and whispered to Huaran for a while.

Huaran doesn't know how to drink, but seeing Bai Wenxue's high spirits, she doesn't have the nerve to refuse.She raised the glass several times with the other two, and she drank less than half of it, her face was already flushed.

Zhao Xingxing turned the topic to Huaran while talking, "It seems that Aunt Bai has recruited a good helper, so I can rest assured."

After Bai Wenxue drank two cups, her complexion was already ruddy.

"Yes, although Xiao Ran is not very old, she is really capable."

Huaran was not a person who could speak well in the first place, and with Zhao Xingxing around, she could not speak without speaking.First she heard Zhao Xingxing talk about herself, and then Bai Wenxue praised her. She was flustered and shy, and said at a loss: "No...I, I still need to work hard..."

Bai Wenxue smiled and said, "Look, she's much better than my daughter who is proud and complacent with some grades."

The "proud and complacent daughter with some grades" next to her was sweating profusely from eating, Zhao Xingxing glanced at her, nodded and said, "I think so."

In fact, Bai Wenxue seldom compares her daughter with others, and she has never shaped other people's children in front of Bai Shuyi.She always said this in front of Huaran, one was to increase Huaran's confidence, and the other was because she knew her daughter would not mind.

Of course, Bai Wenxue would be very happy if she could really learn to be more cautious.

When Bai Shu saw the two burying him, he pouted pretending to be unhappy, "Then we have very different personalities, each has its own strengths, and we just complement each other. How can we compare them?"

It was rare for her to eat a spicy meal, and she became a little anxious, her lips turned red, and the pouting was really funny.

Bai Wenxue looked amused, Zhao Xingxing pointed to her mouth and said, "Before each has its own merits, shouldn't the little pig wipe his mouth first?"

"Ah, what what?"

Without realizing it, she stretched out her hand and was about to touch it.Huaran sat beside her, took her hand without thinking, and took a handkerchief to wipe her mouth.

"It's hot oil, does it hurt?"

Bai Shu got used to it very quickly, he pouted naturally and let Huaran wipe it off for himself, and said vaguely: "It doesn't hurt, it's just a little numb, but the numbness is very comfortable."

After Huaran drank some wine, she unconsciously felt a little light. Looking at Bai Shu, her white and rosy face seemed to be covered with a soft light.

"You don't get acne even if you eat spicy food, your skin is so good."

Huaran was silent for a long time today, and now it is rare to take the initiative to speak. When Bai Shu was happy to hear it, he complimented her with her like no one else was there.

"Your skin is good if you dye it, it's white and smooth, and you don't need any cosmetics."

Huaran's blush is due to the alcohol, Bai Shuyi's blush is due to the spicy taste, two beautiful girls with blushing faces are sitting next to each other, speaking some obscene words that old men can't understand, the picture is really eye-catching.

Bai Wenxue looked at this 16-year-old daughter who was taller than the average girl in her grade, but she still looked like a child at this moment.Looking at Hua Ran, who was only four years older, already mature and stable, and directly showing the demeanor of a good wife and mother, she shook her head inwardly.

She lives a carefree life, watching over her daughter, and her biggest expectation is Bai Shuyi.This expectation does not refer to hoping that she will have any promises and achievements, but only hopes that she will be safe and happy.

At the beginning, I chose to divorce because I couldn't swallow that breath, and I have never regretted it over the years.It's just that the inability to give her daughter a complete family has always been a thorn in her heart.

She hopes to give her daughter more love, but she can't give up her work.Consciously letting Bai Shuyi have a lot of lonely memories, the more Bai Wenxue feels guilty, the more she wants to make up for it.In fact, she knew that she loved her daughter a little too much, but it was difficult to stop herself from doing so.

Fortunately, Bai Shuyi has a pure nature, neither spoiled by bad habits, nor neglected to study.There is only one thing, only one thing that makes Bai Wenxue feel at ease.

She is obviously very sensible, but she always looks immature. Sometimes her heart is so hot that even her mother doesn't know what to do.She always thinks that there is still herself who can help her now, but what if she is no longer there?

Who will protect her, and who can support her?

After drinking some wine, Bai Wenxue couldn't help thinking further.

"Huaran and Xiaobai have a very good relationship," Zhao Xingxing saw the two talking together over there, and whispered to Bai Wenxue here, "Xiaobai seems to like her very much."

Bai Wenxue came back to her senses, nodded and said, "Yeah, Yiyi is very clingy to her, maybe I remembered..."

Before she could say anything, Zhao Xingxing seemed to know what she wanted to say, and interrupted her gently.

"Aunt Bai."

Bai Wenxue sighed and took another sip of the wine, before saying, "Let's not talk, let's talk... Xingxing, is your father okay? I can't get away from the pharmacy, and your father is busy with work. I haven't seen it a few times."

"He's in good health, but he just can't spare the time. You know that the city is striving for political achievements recently, and he's a little stressed."

"I'll take some ginseng back later and give him some bubbles. The body is the most important thing for this person."

The author has something to say: to tell everyone a bad news, it is estimated that it will take a few days every other day, and I will make a year-end summary, crying blind.
