small tutor

I will make it call grandpa today!

Qin Fei and Zhao Fang had to go back to live for three days during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and they could only come back on the last night.

The cat couldn't be brought back, so Qin Fei had to let Li Tian take care of it temporarily.

He explained in detail how much chicken breast to feed, how much cat food to mix, when to change the water, and shovel the excrement, afraid that Li Tian would forget, he wrote everything down on a piece of post-it note.

Qin Fei also named the kitten "Xiao Jin", but Li Tian said he didn't care.

"Your names are so boring. It was the same at the Animal House last time. The one was called Rhubarb. They were called Xiao Huang when they were young, but they were called Rhubarb when they grew up. It's so boring."

Qin Fei: "Then you choose a creative one."

Li Tian stroked his chin, thought for a while, and said, "Orange bites gold?"

"Huh?" Qin Fei slowly put out a question mark.

This name cannot be said to be exactly the same, it can be said that it has nothing to do with the real cat.

Maybe it was because Qin Fei's disgusted eyes were too obvious, Li Tian thought for a while.

"How about—" Li Tiandao, "Orange and gold?"

"Uh……"

"Orange and gold." Li Tian decisively decided, "This one is cooler."

All right, orange and gold, orange and gold, Qin Fei gave up struggling.

The night before the holiday, Qin Fei took the high-speed train to Liancheng with Zhao Fang.

After Qin Fei left, Li Tian was still not used to it.

When he was doing his homework at night, there were no people around him to supervise him. Instead, he felt a little empty and boring. He put down his homework without writing two strokes, watched two movies, and didn't go to bed until three o'clock in the morning.

Before going to sleep, he sent Qin Fei a message on a whim.

Li Tian: What are you doing?

It stands to reason that Qin Fei had already fallen asleep at this point, and Li Tian didn't expect to wait for a reply, but just as he was about to turn off the lights, he saw Qin Fei's reply.

Qin Fei: Cleaning up.

Li Tian: What kind of cleaning do you do at night?

Qin Fei: I haven't lived in the room for a long time.

Li Tian was about to say "good night" and went to sleep, but he slipped his hand holding the phone and pressed it to invite a video call. Just as he was frantically about to fork it off, Qin Fei connected.

Qin Fei was probably standing at the window to receive the video. Li Tian saw a crystal clear and fragmented white light shaking behind him, but he couldn't make out what it was.

Qin Fei: "What's wrong?"

Li Tian let out an "Ah": "Just now my hand slipped."

Qin Fei: "Then I hang up?"

"Wait." Li Tian said, "What's outside your window?"

Qin Fei froze for a moment, then turned around and turned the camera: "Hai. My grandpa's house is by the sea."

Li Tian saw the sea.

The sea in the night is gentle and hazy.

Fragments of moonlight turned into bright silver sparkling waves, shining like stars in the gloom.

Li Tian gave a soft "wow" and sighed, "It's so beautiful."

Qin Fei said: "However, the seaside is very humid, and the house is often moldy." It took him a whole night to clean up the house so that the musty smell in the house was not so heavy.

Qin Fei's face reappeared on the screen.

He had just taken a shower, his hair was still a little wet and fell between his eyebrows, and his face was so clean and shiny.

The half-bright light outside the window occasionally slipped through his half-drowned eyes, like shallow meteors.

Li Tian's heart skipped a beat, and he accidentally took a screenshot.

The next day, Li Tian went back to his grandfather's house in Li Chengye's car.

Grandpa Li Tian lived in a tube building in a very old community.

Li Chengye wanted to take the old man to live in the villa several times, but the old man refused to say anything, saying that he liked the environment in the old community because the neighbors were all old friends.

A few old men drink tea together, take a walk, and talk about the mountains when they have nothing to do. They can enjoy a game of chess by moving two stools downstairs to form a table. It’s not like living in a villa area, which feels lonely.

Li Tian burrowed into the dark corridor, stomping on the steps loudly.Old Li heard this unusual movement from afar, and opened the door early.

Li Tian rushed over and hugged Lao Li, and Lao Li's wrinkles spread out like flowers when he laughed.

"Come back, let grandpa see if you have grown taller again?"

"It's taller, Grandpa, it's over 1.8 meters now!"

"Yo, this arm is also strong."

Li Tian's grandma passed away last year. After her death, Lao Li always felt lonely, so he raised a starling and taught it for half a year. At first, he couldn't speak. The courier brother asked and answered, and he has a good style.

"Li Tian, ​​Li Tian!" The starling recognized Li Tian, ​​and repeated Li Tian's name loudly.

"Don't read Master." Li Tian leaned forward and tapped mynah's head with his finger.

Starling tilted his head and changed his tune: "Hey! Grandson! Hey! Grandson!"

This messed up seniority made Li Tian dumbfounded.

This starling learned a Beijing dialect from someone, and even referred to "grandson" as "grandson thief". He sounded like an old man in Beijing wearing a vest and shorts, drinking tea with a fan in the park.

"Grandpa—" Li Tian rushed into the kitchen to report, "That idiot called me grandson!"

Old Li burst out laughing: "Just learn from me."

"What's the matter with the Beijing accent?"

"That's what I learned from the old Li next door." Lao Li was holding a fresh black fish, scratching the fish scales, "After listening to a few sentences, the accent can't be changed."

Li Tian shrugged his nose: "Eat fish today!"

Lao Li: "Make your favorite pickled fish."

Li Tian nodded in satisfaction, and forgot about the vendetta for the time being, when he returned to the living room, the mynah just landed on the hanger on the coffee table, and when he saw him started calling grandson again, Li Tiantian fell on his back.

Half a minute later, he walked up to Li Chengye with this silly bird full of grandchildren.

Li Chengye was talking on the phone on the balcony, frowning, lighting a cigarette, looking bitter and bitter, as if he was asking for a debt from someone.

When Li Chengye heard the movement behind him, when he turned his head, the starling greeted him enthusiastically with "grandson".

Li Chengye's hand that lit the cigarette shook slightly, his face turned green.

"Wow, this starling is really soaked in rain and dew, everyone will say something when he sees it." Li Tian sighed.

Li Tian recorded a short video and sent it to Qin Fei.

Qin Fei clicked on it, and suddenly, after being called grandson three times in a row, Li Tian was sent a series of ellipsis.

Qin Fei: Can't you say something else?

Li Tian: I have to make it call me grandpa today!

Li Chengye had been on the phone for a long time.When he returned to the living room from the balcony, he was still smelling of cigarettes, and Lao Li scolded him: "What are you smoking! How many times have I told you that it is bad for your health! You see, I quit it."

"Come on." Li Chengye twitched his lips, "Quitting smoking is too easy for you, you can quit smoking three times a day."

Lao Li, who had been exposed, was a little unable to get off the table. He changed the subject and slapped his chopsticks on the table: "Eat first!"

The sauerkraut fish is steaming hot, the sauerkraut is crystal clear, looks crunchy and delicious, the potato slices are just thick, the bean sprouts are plump, the snow-white fish fillets are shining with crystal oil, and two bright red dried chilies are nestled on the soup surface.

It is simply delicious.

Li Tian gave Lao Li a thumbs up, and immediately picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks. As soon as he stuffed it into his mouth, he was so hot that he gasped and fanned it with his hands repeatedly.

Lao Li patted the back of his head: "You are in a hurry, no one will grab you, eat slowly."

After three rounds of cooking, Lao Li couldn't help but asked Li Chengye: "Didn't you say that you would bring your remarried partner here for me to take a look at? Why didn't you come this time?"

Li Chengye took a sip of his wine, and said lightly: "People also have parents, so I have to go home and have a look at the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"I don't have to watch it." Lao Li waved his hand, "You are also a married person, as long as you are satisfied."

Li Chengye hummed.

"Then when are you going to get the certificate? It's been a long time."

"Wait a little longer, don't worry." Li Chengye said vaguely while eating, "Don't worry about it, I know it well."

"You have a fart..." Old Li rolled his eyes, "Do you know that you have been single for more than ten years? Little Li is so old that he doesn't even have a caretaker around him."

"He still needs someone to take care of him?" Li Chengye snorted, "When I get old in a few years, he will take care of me."

Li Tian: "..."

In the evening, Lao Li moved the dining table to the balcony, and the three of them watched the moon while eating.

The moon cakes were brought by Li Chengye.

The sixteen moon cakes are packed in a high-end metal box with a beautiful pattern and a total of two floors.

Each mooncake is packaged in a golden paper box, with no words on the outside of the paper box, and no taste can be discerned.

Li Tian touched one first as if picking out a blind box, opened the box, and found that the innermost plastic package said five kernel moon cakes, he was so frightened that he quickly threw it back.

He touched another one, opened it and found that it was still Wuren.

This luck is too bad.

Li Tian simply turned the metal box over, looked at the ingredients list, and saw that not all of them were made of five kernels, and only then did he have the courage to continue to open the blind box.

Li Chengye saw that Li Tian had unpacked a bunch of cardboard boxes, picked them and refused to eat them, and said angrily, "Why did you turn them like this? There are no rules at all. Do you want to eat or not?"

Li Tian finally found a salted egg yolk flavor, tore open the plastic bag with peace of mind, and took a bite.

Lao Li dug out half a bottle of rice wine from nowhere, patted Li Tian on the shoulder: "Come, let's have a drink with grandpa."

Li Chengye frowned and said, "He's only going to drink this when he's young."

Lao Li waved his hand and told him to go away: "What's wrong with drinking one? My grandson can't accompany me to drink one today's special holiday?"

Li Chengye was too lazy to tell, grabbed the lighter on the table and went downstairs to smoke.

Rice wine has a much higher alcohol content than beer, and Li Tian couldn't stand it after drinking two glasses from a small shallow wine glass, feeling dazzled and dizzy.

Then came a wave of nausea.

Li Tian squatted holding the toilet and vomited.

After vomiting, he finally sobered up.

He drank half a glass of boiled water to slow down, and finally felt much more comfortable in his stomach.

Lao Li asked him why he went there, he was afraid that Li Chengye would blame Lao Li, so he didn't dare to say that he vomited, he just said that he washed his face.

After dinner, Lao Li asked them if they would like to watch CCTV's Mid-Autumn Festival Gala together.Li Chengye basically didn't watch the shows, and Li Tian was not interested in the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, so he decided to go home directly.

Old Li: "You can stay with me at night."

Li Chengye: "Forget it, such a small place is not enough for me and Li Tian to sleep."

"Why not enough?" Lao Li dissatisfied, "I will share the same bed with Li Tian, ​​and you can sleep on the sofa."

In the past, Li Tian would not be able to resist Lao Li's kind invitation to stay here for one night, but thinking that today's cat feces have not been shoveled, he can only say that he also wants to go back to sleep.

Lao Li sighed and said: "Elder son is not allowed to stay, and Sun Da is not allowed to stay either."

Before Li Tian left, he tried to teach myna a certain new vocabulary, and demonstrated it over and over again: "Grandpa, call him Grandpa."

After a long while, mynah realized it, and let out a "ah".

Li Tian: "..."
