Still tide

After the cake was pasted in, Miao Jiayan took out a huge glove from her pocket and put it on after a while. It was a pink heat-resistant glove covered with small flowers.

Miao Jiayan reached in and turned the cake.

His slender arms were even thinner against the edge of the barrel and the big gloves, and the faint blue blood vessels on the inside of the arms were exposed. Chen Chao said, "I'm always afraid that you will burn your arms."

"No!" Miao Jiayan flipped the pancake neatly, took out her hand, patted the gloves, and asked, "Are the gloves dirty?"

Chen Chao replied: "This is the most foreign-looking thing on you now."

"Hahaha," Miao Jiayan said in agreement, "I think so too, I see others wearing these gloves to bake small cakes."

People wear baking gloves to go into the oven, and Miao Jiayan wears extensions to turn cakes in the oven.

I don't know why he is so happy today, even talking more.

Chen Chao squatted by the stove eating cakes, Miao Jiayan asked him: "Brother Chao, are you tired at school?"

"That's it." Chen Chao was so hot that he breathed out, and the hot air came out of his mouth, and it was white and scattered in the air. It looked very warm, "It's the same in every high school."

Miao Jiayan nodded.

Chen Chao asked him: "What about you? Can your grades keep up?"

"Yes," Miao Jiayan replied quite positively, without being too modest, she added, "But I'm a bit tired of following, I don't know if I won't be able to keep up in the second and third year of high school."

"Just do your best." Chen Chao blew on the air while biting it in circles. The outside was crispy, the inside was very fragrant, and the outermost layer of sesame seeds was slightly toasted, giving it a burnt aroma.

Miao Jiayan took out another one from the stove, put it on the curtain next to it, and said, "Let it dry first, and it won't be hot later."

Chen Chao didn't eat anything yesterday, but now he is eating the hot crispy Guokui, which gives him a strong sense of satisfaction.

Miao Jiayan asked him again: "Brother Chao, do you have many friends now?"

Chen Chao asked him to ask with a smile: "What do you think?"

"I don't know," Miao Jiayan replied honestly, "I can't tell."

Chen Chao glanced at him, then ate the cake, and replied, "I have a few friends, but not many."

Like a curious child, Miao Jiayan asked some questions about Chen Chao's current life and his school.

Chen Chao didn't get impatient, Miao Jiayan asked him what he said, and he didn't think Miao Jiayan asked too many questions.

Miao Jiayan also took a piece of cake, gnawed it with both hands, looked at Chen Chao, and asked, "Then have you fallen in love?"

Chen Chao looked at him, and Miao Jiayan looked back naturally, with simple eyes, without any other meaning.

"No, I don't have time." Chen Chao replied.

Miao Jiayan smiled, took a bite of the cake, and the crispy cake crumbs fell to the ground, Miao Jiayan said: "Many students in the class are in love."

"You want to talk too?" Chen Chao raised his eyebrows, deliberately teasing him.

"I don't want to," Miao Jiayan shook her head and said, "Not at all."

"If you don't, go to school well." Chen Chao said.

Miao Jiayan nodded and said "Yes", "I remember."

When Ding Wentao yawned and went downstairs, the pancakes were almost finished, and there were only two left.

"You two have a small stove!" Ding Wentao pointed at them, "Don't wake me up! You two squat here to eat!"

Chen Chao picked up another one from the two, bit his mouth and said, "You're screaming, you didn't get up."

"Impossible! Don't lie, the two of you are just playing tricks." Ding Wentao came over to pick up the last one, and asked, "Is there any more?"

Miao Jiayan shook her head: "That's all, there's nothing more to say."

The two of them squatted for a long time, and Chen Chao's legs were a little stiff. He stood up and handed it to Miao Jiayan. Miao Jiayan grabbed his hand and stood up.Chen Chao stomped his legs and said to Miao Jiayan, "I still want to eat this tonight."

"Okay." Miao Jiayan folded the gloves and put them back in her pocket, "Then put the stove here first."

Last New Year's Eve, Miao Jiayan was not at home from day to night. She came back in the morning to pick up an iron bucket and left again.

However, to his surprise, Miao Jian didn't bother him.Seeing him during the day, he didn't say much about him, he glanced at him, but didn't say anything.

Miao Jiayan walked along the wall, and made a big circle to avoid his father.

Miao Jian has been quite tolerant towards Miao Jiayan when he came back this year, except that morning when he got angry and was suppressed by his grandma, he didn't say much about him except that day.

Miao Jian left in the second day of junior high school to go to Miao Jiayan's grandma's house.In other words, Miao Jiayan has basically passed this year safely.

Grandma Miao also breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered to Miao Jiayan, "This year is a good year."

Miao Jiayan also spoke in a low voice. When there were too many people in the family, Grandma Miao and Miao Jiayan always seemed to be whispering: "Don't stare at him all the time."

"Why don't I stare at him when he's annoying?" Grandma still felt angry when she said that, "He wasn't so annoying when he was a child."

Miao Jiayan smiled and said, "That's your son."

"I don't want a son, I have grandsons enough." Grandma Miao held something in one hand and hugged Miao Jiayan with her free hand. Miao Jiayan was already much taller than grandma.He patted grandma on the back and said, "You have to rest for a few days after everyone has left. These few days are very hard."

"Why don't you say, what's the use of them coming back, it's tiring." Grandma Miao complained in a low voice, "I still have to serve them."

Miao Jiayan didn't hide out that day, and stayed with grandma in the kitchen.In the afternoon, when grandma was cooking, Miao Jiayan was chopping stuffing in a small corner.

The scallion and ginger are boiled in water to lend some flavor, and there is no minced scallion and ginger in the stuffing.

The stuffing can be mixed, but the noodles can't be mixed. In the end, I asked my grandma for help to make a piece of noodles.

"This kind of treatment..." Before dinner, Chen Guangda glanced at Chen Chao who was squatting outside eating pancakes, and sighed, "This is better than I was in the past, and there is a younger brother who comes to post pancakes. I was the king at that time There is no such standard for domination.”

"Then you can't compare." Grandpa Chen nailed the legs of the stool, "When you were young, you, a group of stinky fish and rotten shrimps, only knew how to fight."

"Why are the rotten fish and rotten shrimp?" Chen Guangda said "hey" unwillingly, "Isn't my study very good?"

The uncle at the side ruthlessly exposed him: "You copied everything."

What was said in the room could not be heard outside, Chen Chao only knew how to eat cakes.

He doesn't look like a high school student in the city at all, squatting in front of the stove, his whole body is in harmony with this yard.

Miao Jiayan laughed at him, Chen Chao raised his eyebrows and said, "I find that you are more courageous now than before."

"Because you're leaving soon, you won't be angry at anything I say." Miao Jiayan lowered her head and said with a shallow smile.

Although a year and a half is not particularly long, the youngsters have grown up a lot.Last time Miao Jiayan would shed tears in front of Chen Chao because he was about to leave, but this time she couldn't do it no matter what.

Miao Jiayan walked around Chen Chao cheerfully every day, her eyes always bent.

The last time I cried was because I was afraid of him leaving, but this time I was happy because I never thought he would come back.

Miao Jiayan is a child who is not greedy, he never wants much.

On the day when Chen Chaozhen was about to leave, Miao Jiayan came to see him off.

Chen Chao only has one bag, and there is nothing to pack.

Miao Jiayan didn't say anything, just quietly accompanied him.I should have just washed my hair in the morning, and it looked a bit messy when it was draped over my shoulders.

"Will you come back next year?" Miao Jiayan asked.

"I don't know yet," Chen Chao zipped up his backpack, "I can't decide."

"Okay." Miao Jiayan nodded.

"You won't talk to me next time you come back?" Chen Chao asked him, scratching at his hair.

Miao Jiayan hurriedly said: "No, I didn't dare this time, next time I will talk about it."

Chen Chao smiled, Miao Jiayan didn't say why he didn't dare, and Chen Chao didn't ask either.

Miao Jiayan sent Chen Chao to the car and walked a long way.

Every time Chen Chao turned his head, Miao Jiayan would look up at him, her eyes open and simple.

"Do you know my mobile phone number?" Chen Chao asked.

Miao Jiayan thought that I would recite it all.

"I sent it to your mobile phone before. I don't know if you received it. I will send it to you again later." Chen Chao thought about Miao Jiayan's mobile phone that had never been turned on, and said, "Go back and charge it and turn it on."

"Okay." Miao Jiayan agreed.

"Okay, let's go back." Chen Chao said to him, "Call me if you have anything to do."

Miao Jiayan wanted to see him get in the car before leaving, so she stood there without moving.

Chen Guangda had already got into the car, and was looking at the two of them, thinking it was quite interesting.

Chen Chao lowered his head and sent a text message to Miao Jiayan with his mobile phone. After the message was sent successfully, he shook the phone at Miao Jiayan, turned around and got into the car.

Miao Jiayan watched them leave before slowly returning home.

After the new year, the family all left, and the house suddenly became empty.

Miao Jiayan took out her mobile phone from the drawer and turned it on. After a few minutes, there were indeed two text messages.

It shows that the sender is "Chao".

— Boot back to me.

—Try calling me Chen Chao next time.

Miao Jiayan didn't expect that he could send this, first she blinked in surprise, and then there was a soft smile in her eyes.

Holding the phone in his hand for a while, he looked back and forth at the two text messages sent by Chen Chao.After a few minutes, Miao Jiayan replied, hesitated for a while before clicking send.

—Then when will you come back?
