Daughter-in-law, go home for dinner

Chapter 3

After the exam, Su Weinian was going to go back.But at the school gate, I saw a small group of children squatting there, and the guard sat watching at the gate with a big tea bowl.

Su Weinian walked over, the child was playing with the snow on the ground by himself, a small snowball made his little hand red from the cold.

"Don't play for too long, don't get sick again."

Su Weinian's sudden opening seemed to scare the child, the child's hand trembled, and the snowball rolled out of his hand.The child glanced ahead, as if he had no intention of picking it up, he stood up and walked into the guard room.

Su Weinian stood at the door and looked in. The child put his hands on his knees, and sat on the small bench, looking at his nose. His upright look was very cute.

Su Weinian shook his head with a smile and was about to walk away, but caught a glimpse of the child sneaking a glance at him, and seeing that he saw it, he immediately looked away, but the tips of his ears were slightly red.

Lao Zhang took all these into his eyes, held the big teacup and buckled the lid to make a crisp ceramic collision sound, and smiled: "You can play with him for a while! A child is boring by himself. "

Su Weinian looked at Lao Zhang in surprise, but Lao Zhang drank his tea with his head down and didn't look at him, as if he didn't say what he just said.Su Weinian was a little embarrassed, he had to be scolded for going back late, but after hearing what Lao Zhang said, the child unabashedly looked at him with anticipation hidden in his eyes.

There was a battle in my heart, but I was finally defeated by the pure eyes of the child.

But Liu stayed, but the two of them sat in the guard room and stared at each other, neither of them knew what to play.

Old Zhang seemed a little embarrassed, and told Su Weinian that there was a deck of playing cards in the desk drawer.Su Weinian took out the cards, and led the child to sit on the edge of the bed.

"Can you play?" Su Weinian asked while shuffling the cards.The kid shook his head.

Su Weinian taught him: "Let's take the train!"

Riding a train is an easy game to play.

"Look, one card is stacked on top of the other, and the cards are collected when they meet the same number." After a pause, Su Weinian took a careful look at the child: "Do you know the number?"

The child was listening carefully, and after hearing Su Weinian's words, he raised his head and nodded heavily with his little face raised.

The child is very smart, he can learn it as soon as he learns it, and Su Weinian didn't deliberately let him go.Playing like this, time passed quickly inadvertently.

When Li Zizhan came to lead the people in a hurry, what he saw was this harmonious scene.

He is very happy that the child has a companion, and he is also a little surprised. It has been more than ten days, and since the child woke up, he has always looked indifferent. It took him several days to gain the child's trust and closeness. , He doesn't care about other children.

"What are you doing?" Li Zizhan stood at the door, stamping the mud on his feet.

Su Weinian turned his head to look over, said with a smile, "I'm playing cards."

Li Zizhan walked in, stood on the edge of the bed, looked at it for a while, and said, "Time delay is very smart!"

Su Weinian raised his eyes to glance at the child, and saw a slight blush on the child's face as expected.He smiled, stacked the last card in his hand, and said, "You are very smart! You can learn it as soon as you learn it." After speaking, he stood up and put the cards away: "It's getting late, so I'll go back first .”

Su Weinian walked to the door, turned around and said goodbye to Li Zizhan, after thinking for a while, he said to the child, "Shi Yan, goodbye!"

The child lowered his head at this time, and did not respond to his words. Standing next to Li Zizhan, his little hand unconsciously tugged on Li Zizhan's sleeve.Li Zizhan sensed the strength in his hand, looked down, and comforted him in a nice voice: "Shi Yan is good, brother will come to play next time."

The child was awkward after all, he didn't say hello to Su Weinian.Li Zizhan gave him an apologetic look, Su Weinian smiled and said nothing happened, then turned and left.

When I got home, I was scolded as expected.It's okay if you really scold, but Zhou Liping likes to say some sarcastic remarks, and he can say whatever hurts.

"They're all money-losing goods. I'm just miserable, supporting you debt collectors!" She sat behind the counter and muttered.

Su Weinian didn't reply, and took a broom and dustpan from behind the door to clean up the melon seed shells on the ground.Seeing his limp appearance, Zhou Liping became furious, and scattered the uncracked melon seeds on the ground together with the scum in his mouth.Su Weinian's hand paused, the finger bones holding the broom turned white, he was silent for a while and finally didn't say anything, he cleaned up the place again and entered the room.

Su He was still lying on the bed at this time.Su Weinian went up to tuck him in, then went downstairs to make dinner.

When the sound faded away, the sleeping person on the bed suddenly opened his eyes, took out a small Ultraman model toy from under the quilt, and concentrated on playing with it.

Seeing Su Weinian coming down here, Zhou Liping said, "Look at the store, I'll pick up my daughter!"

He stopped walking towards the kitchen, nodded, and walked behind the counter.

Zhou Liping took the bag from the house and went out.Su Weinian wanted to reach for the story book on the counter, but when he turned his head, he saw Zhou Liping getting on a motorcycle outside the house, and the driver was a man, wearing a helmet so he couldn't see his face.

Su Weinian paused, and when he heard the thumping sound upstairs, he knew that Su He was going to come down, so he quickly took his book and sat back to pretend to be calm.It's just that I don't know what to think in my heart.

Li Zizhan took the child home, and the child was a little unhappy along the way, he thought it was the reason for Su Weinian's return.But he couldn't do anything about it, he put the child on the chair, he thought about pouring a glass of water, and saw a deck of cards from the big table.

"Shi Yan, come on, let's play cards too, shall we?" Li Zizhan shook the cards in his hand to the child with a little excitement.

Unexpectedly, the child just rolled his eyelids lightly, without saying a word, Li Zizhan straddled his shoulders, and some didn't know what to do.

Zhou Shiyan sat for a while, and the man in front of him tried to make himself happy, but he didn't want to laugh.He was still a child, although he didn't know what embarrassment was, he also knew that the atmosphere was not good, so he climbed off the chair and walked into the room by himself.

Li Zizhan straightened his back, with a look of helplessness on his face.He yelled: "Shi Yan, how about eating fried eggs at night?"

After the expected silence, Li Zizhan shook his head and went into the kitchen.

As it got colder, time slowed down as if frozen.

In that family, Su Weinian faced a younger sister who was not very close, a wayward and withdrawn younger brother, and a mean mother every day, and his life slowly moved forward in an atmosphere that was neither awkward nor embarrassing.

December 29, the penultimate day of the year.The business was very good, and Su Weinian didn't stop until ninety o'clock in the middle of the night.

Zhou Liping went out and hasn't come back yet, the child has already fallen asleep.He closed the window and stood at the door in a daze.

It was very cold, but he didn't seem to feel it, his face was flushed red by the wind.Another year is going to pass, how long this kind of life will last, he doesn't know.

He went to school and knew that there was a wonderful and big world outside the mountain, which was different from this closed mountain village. The colorful illustrations printed in the textbook were full of feasting and feasting, which made people's hearts itch.

He used to think that he must study hard, and only after finishing the book can he go out and get rid of the current predicament, so that the woman who never took a good look at him can also take a good look at him once.He still thinks so now, but she just...

A human voice suddenly came from a distance, breaking his contemplation.Su Weinian raised his hand and rubbed his face vigorously, feeling that his face was not so dull before looking away.

"Teacher Li?"

At this time, Li Zizhan actually brought the child over.The child was wrapped in Li Zizhan's cotton coat, and the round lump curled up in Li Zizhan's arms was cute.Su Weinian's somewhat heavy heart was washed away at once.He always wanted to be a good brother, but Su He didn't give him a chance.Seeing the well-behaved, quiet and beautiful Zhou Shiyan, he felt close.

"Let's go shopping." Li Zizhan approached with the child in his arms, and seeing Su Weinian staring at him in surprise, a look of embarrassment flashed across his face.

When Zhou Shiyan saw Su Weinian, he seemed to be concerned about being held in his arms, and he struggled to get out of Li Zizhan's arms.Standing firmly, she straightened her chest, trying her best to protrude her neck from the coat, revealing a cute little part. She glanced at Su Weinian from the corner of her eyes, but saw him looking at her with a smile on her lips, and couldn't help but blushed again. climbed up.

Su Weinian really didn't know why Zhou Shiyan blushed so much, but he also thought it was cute, so he wanted to tease him from time to time.When the child seemed to have an angry look on his face, he quickly withdrew his smile and turned to look at Li Zizhan.

"Teacher, what should I buy so late?"

Li Zizhan blushed, and said hesitantly, "Two packs of instant noodles."

Su Weinian was surprised, but he didn't dare to show it. He took two packs of instant noodles from the shelf behind him and handed them to him, pretending to ask casually, "Have you eaten yet?"

Li Zizhan nodded hastily, took out money from his pocket to pay the bill, and something fell out of his pocket without anyone noticing.

Su Weinian wanted to say a few more words, but Li Zizhan picked up the child, turned around and left quickly.

The child stuck his head out from Li Zizhan's shoulders, looked at Su Weinian with sparkling eyes, Su Weinian smiled and waved at him.The child turned his face away, but there was a joyful smile in his eyes.

Li Zizhan was really embarrassed to tell his students those embarrassing things. Tonight, he was going to fry an egg for his child as usual, but found that the basket was empty. The eggs were gone for dinner these days, thanks to Zhou Shiyan's obedient behavior Picky eaters.

He went to cook again, and found that the rice was almost gone. He used to live alone, and he never paid attention to these things every meal.Now that there are more children, it is really a rush.

I begged for two pieces of potatoes from a neighbor's house, and fried them in a pan and they became mushy.It can only be said that Li Zizhan's culinary skills are enough for him to fry an egg, if there is more, it will definitely not work.Having been in a hurry all night without getting anything out, Li Zizhan was a little ashamed to see the child sitting obediently on the chair with a sleepy look.

Fearing that the child would be hungry, I had no choice but to carry him to the grocery store to buy two packs of instant noodles.
