Chapter 016 Angry
Xu Tao nodded: "Well, I'll just write something to pass the time."
Zhao Weiguo didn't even think about throwing cold water on Xu Tao, and he didn't have much opinion on what she wanted to write, but he raised his eyes to meet Xu Tao, look When Xu Tao was hopeful and looked into his eyes brightly, she nodded immediately: "If you like it."
"Thank you." Xu Tao immediately showed a faint smile.
Zhao Weiguo looked at Xu Tao with a smile, his eyes were deep for a moment, and then he continued to eat noodles. Xu Tao also happily put the watch in his hand on his hand. After wearing it, Bai Nen raised his arm and asked, "Does it look good?
" It looks good." The silver watch fits well on a slender wrist, but the strap is a little loose: "Do you want to cut off a section of the strap? It looks a little loose."
"No, it's more comfortable." Xu Tao He shook his head and refused, and was quite satisfied with the watch on his wrist: "You don't know, when you took out the watch just now, I almost suspected that you were a roundworm in my stomach."
"How do you say it?" Zhao Weiguo answered and rushed to Xu Tao Raised eyebrows.
Zhao Weiguo's facial features are very handsome, with the unique masculinity of this era, and he is not girly, just a kind of handsome and masculine, and his eyebrows are even more foul and seductive.
This person is simply a demon of invisible crime!
Xu Tao was stunned for a moment: "I originally planned to buy a watch when I had free time in the next two days! No, you bought it."
Zhao Weiguo looked at Xu Tao and smiled lightly. She put on her watch now, Holding his chin with one hand, his tone was different from the polite inquiry with a sense of distance from each other before, and his eyebrows and eyes were obviously much softer.
It turns out that giving her something can please her!
"You can tell me what you want in the future, and I'll buy it for you."
In any era, almost no woman can resist a man who spends money for you, and Xu Tao is no exception: "Buy everything I want?"
" Buy it if you can afford it." Zhao Weiguo nodded: "You can also buy it yourself, anyway, the money at home is in your hands."
Men themselves don't have much concept of spending money, and they won't be reluctant to give up their women.
"Then what if I ran out of money? I took it all to buy clothes and shoes..." Xu Tao asked smoothly, wanting to see Zhao Weiguo's reaction.
"Buy it if you like it." Zhao Weiguo answered without any hesitation at all.
Xu Tao looked at Zhao Weiguo unexpectedly. After saying this, he continued to eat noodles with his head down, not realizing how complicated Xu Tao's eyes were.
Zhao Weiguo usually eats fast, and a bowl of noodles is finished in the chat. He stands up and picks up the chopsticks and washes them away without Xu Tao's hands.
"It's getting late, then I'll go to bed." Xu Tao watched Zhao Weiguo wash the dishes, and said hello back to the room to rest in a good mood.
Zhao Weiguo watched Xu Tao go back to the room, and always felt that the woman was closing the door a little faster. He raised his hand to touch his nose, and the man lowered his eyes and let out a silent chuckle.
...
After only a few days of living in Yangcheng, Xu Tao began to adapt to this kind of comfort. Zhao Weiguo was busy every day when he went out early and returned late. Xu Tao took Zhao Linan to solve the three meals a day and sent the little guy to play in the alleys. , and he continued to write novels at home.
Zhao Linan successfully broke into the interior of the children in the alley with a small snack. The two or three-year-old baby girl was soft and cute before. After playing with the children in the alley for a few days, the little guy has already started to peel. direction development.
However, Xu Tao was also happy to see Zhao Linan become lively.
"Mom..."
Xu Tao was writing a novel in the room. She was disassembling the pen and adding ink to the pen when she heard the voice of Zhao Linan calling from outside the room. The voice was full of anxiety and grievance.
Xu Tao put the pen down, stood up and walked into the yard, and saw Zhao Linan running towards Xu Tao like a small cannonball, with his head on Xu Tao's leg, and his hands still holding on to Xu Tao's body aggrievedly. Blue and white lattice skirt: "What's wrong? Xiao Nan?"
"Woohoo ... Mom, the snack is gone." Zhao Linan twitched back.
"After eating? Mom will make it for you after eating." Xu Tao bent over to pick up the little guy who was holding her legs, and saw the little guy's eyes were red and his mouth was shriveled.
"No..." The little guy frantically shook his head at Xu Tao.
"What's the matter?" Xu Tao asked patiently.
"Mother-in-law grabbed it, and scolded Brother Stone, and pinched her hands..." Zhao Linan was particularly wronged, the little guy said while tears fell, and then stretched out his tender and tender arms to show Xu Tao.
Xu Tao looked at the little guy's arm, and saw that there was a red patch on the arm, and there were still some nail marks left, and immediately frowned: "Who pinched your arm?" She asked, and she walked towards the door.
Zhao Linan is a boy, the little guy is good-natured, and Xu Tao is not stingy. She makes snacks at home, and they can't be kept for a long time. She doesn't like to eat them herself, so she keeps them for the little guy, and gives him a few pieces every day. Take it and share it with your friends in the alley.
Shitou is the king among the younger children in the alley. He has always taken care of Zhao Linan. In addition to the reason for the snacks, not to mention this brother, the children in the alley will not bully Zhao Linan. After all, there is less food these days, everyone All thirsty.
Zhao Linan always takes some food when he goes out to play. Although not everyone can eat a small snack, everyone can taste the snack separately. A group of children are naturally very welcome to Zhao Linan.
Xu Tao also observed for a few days and knew that these children were all playing in the alleys. Although Zhao Linan was reluctant to lose his tan, it did not stop him from making friends.
In this way, the little guy will not be bored, and she can concentrate on writing books in the house, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
"Mother-in-law pinched, woo... Bad mother-in-law..." Zhao Linan wrapped his aggrieved hands around Xu Tao's neck, talking about bad mother-in-law.
Xu Tao's brows were tightly tightened, and she didn't quite understand who the mother-in-law was in the little guy's mouth: "Dear, Xiaonan, don't cry!" She touched the little guy's head and comforted her.
At the entrance of the courtyard, a group of little girls in the alley were standing with their heads tilted, Shitou put his hands on his hips, and leaned against the wall panting heavily, staring at Aunt Lin's house next to him with an angry expression.
"Stone, what happened?" Xu Tao put down Zhao Linan in her arms and asked Shishi softly.
Shitou turned around and saw Xu Tao, his eyes were red, and then he lowered his head embarrassedly: "Auntie, I didn't protect my brother well, I'm sorry!"
Because Xu Tao brought them snacks and always spoke softly and softly. Yes, I don't dislike their group of children making a fuss. Xu Tao asked him to take care of Zhao Linan, and the little guy even patted his chest and agreed. He consciously ate the snacks, and the elder brother had to take good care of the younger brother, but he didn't finish Xu Tao's explanation, let him The younger brother was bullied.
"Stone, tell Auntie what's going on first, okay?"
Shitou nodded, "Lin Xiaoqiang saw that we were sharing snacks, so the mother-in-law of the Lin family asked Xiaonan to share it with Xiaoqiang, but Xiaonan refused, and the mother-in-law of the Lin family just She scolded us, robbed her, and pinched Xiao Nan's arm." Shi Shi said, the little man cried out in grievance and guilt, and a small snot bubble came out of his nose.
Xu Tao listened to Shitou's words, and then looked down at Zhao Linan's white and tender arm, and couldn't help being a little angry.
She didn't expect that it was Zhao Linan who was pinched by the old lady of the Lin family next door. She had naturally seen an unreasonable old lady, but this was the first time she had met an old lady of the Lin family.
"Auntie, I'm sorry, I didn't protect my brother well." Shitou blamed himself for this.
The three-view-like Xu Tao took a few deep breaths, looked at the stone crying, and the children who were more or less frightened next to him, some distressed comfort: "The stone is already great."
They are just a group of needy The child protected by adults is still facing an unreasonable old lady, and she is naturally distressed.
"..." Stone still felt embarrassed and bowed his head.
At this moment, Lin Xiaoqiang ran out of the Lin's yard. The chubby child was four or five years old, and it was very unpleasant to look at. He was eating snacks in his hand, and the little boy was not afraid when he saw Xu Tao. Still proudly showing off to Zhao Linan: "I asked you to give me some snacks, but if you don't give it to me, next time you don't obey me, I'll ask my milk to beat you."
"My grandson, if the milk is not here, don't provoke those stinters. Boy, be careful of being bullied." The old lady of the Lin family came out one step later, she was going to stop Lin Xiaoqiang from showing off, and wanted to call her grandson back to the house.
At her age, she naturally knows that it is not good to rob the child, but her grandson is clamoring for it, and the Zhao family's children have a lot of snacks at home. She thought, anyway, there are a lot of snacks at home, and it's okay to take a few pieces.
She didn't want to pinch the child at first, but the Zhao family's little calf had a stubborn temper. He didn't let go when he grabbed the snack. She reached out and pinched the snack before the child let go. Old Madam Lin came out anxiously, took her grandson's hand and wanted to go home, but at a glance she saw Xu Tao with a gloomy face, and said with a slight embarrassment on her face: " Daughter
, you are also here!"
Is it my Xiaonan's dim sum?" Xu Tao's expression was indifferent and her tone was cold.
Xu Tao looks delicate and fair, and she always smiles when she sees people. The neighbors have a good impression of Xu Tao, and they can see that Xu Tao has a good temper, but the old lady of the Lin family doesn't like Xu Tao very much, she thinks she looks good Like a little goblin, she is very stingy. She just wanted to ask for a few more snacks that day, but she didn't give it.
In the past, other people in the alley had also stopped by to get food. She said that there were many people in the family, so she would basically go home and get some food. No matter what, she was willing to ask for it, but Xu Tao said that there was none at home, and then Save it for that little calf to take out every day to seduce the child, causing her family Xiaoqiang to cry a lot these days.
She was so irritated today that she reached out and pinched her. Who made that little calf look so white and tender? It's really annoying.
Chapter 017
"How could I possibly rob my child? It's not because my Xiaoqiang is young. He shouted for snacks, and your child offered me Xiaoqiang's food."
Mrs. Lin naturally wouldn't admit it when questioned, but she was also kind. She's used to being shameless. She's old and shameless, so many people in this alley can't do anything about her.
"My Xiaonan said that you grabbed the snacks, and even pinched him, and her arms were all red." Xu Tao didn't care about a few small snacks, but this old lady of the Lin family was really shameless, but if she had a thicker skin and knocked on the door to stutter, Even if it is to send beggars, Xu Tao will donate a few pieces.
But what Xu Tao couldn't understand was why this old lady could take action against a two or three-year-old child in Zhao Linan, even if it was shameless to grab something, and now she can deny the account.
"Don't talk nonsense, how could I do that kind of thing." Mrs. Lin immediately raised her voice and glared at Xu Tao with a sharp expression, as if Xu Tao had tarnished her reputation.
As if the voice was loud enough and loud enough to prove innocence.
"..." Xu Tao asked herself that she was a reasonable person, but facing this shameless old lady of the Lin family, Xu Tao was really speechless: "Aunt Lin, you can't deny everything if you don't speak loudly."
"Who denied it! Your family This child is really not a good thing, he will talk nonsense at a young age, how can you teach a child, you dare to bite my old woman at such an old age." After the old lady Lin retorted, she stared at Zhao Linan and scolded. .
"I know how my children are. I know what kind of thing you are, Mrs. Lin. I don't want to bother the old lady." Standing in the alley and scolding her is meaningless and quite cheap.
"Stone, you take the children to auntie's house to play, and auntie will cook something delicious for you." Xu Tao greeted Shishi, and by the way smiled and comforted the other children in the alley.
"Auntie..." Shitou's children hesitated when they heard what Xu Tao said.
"Be obedient."
"Brother Shito, let's go!" Zhao Linan stopped crying now, the little guy couldn't understand what the old lady of the Lin family was scolding, but the little guy felt okay when he stood beside Xu Tao, and heard his mother call his little friend again. When they went to play at home, they also followed and took Shishi's hand.
Several children looked at each other, and then walked to Xu Tao's house under the guidance of Shishi.
Mrs. Lin is ready to show off her martial arts skills with Xu Tao. She is a typical person who does not suffer. She has lived in this alley for many years, and quarrels are common, but no one in the alley can quarrel. She, she originally thought that she was going to quarrel with Xu Tao today, but relying on her age, she thought that if the other party was a lip-smacking person, she would lie on the ground and pretend to be uncomfortable, and then swindle a sum of money.
Who knew that Xu Tao didn't play cards according to common sense, so she replied something like that.
Pooh! What kind of virtue she has, she still knows, but it's fake and generous! ! !
"Grandma, I'm going too, and I want to eat delicious food." Lin Xiaoqiang hadn't finished eating the dim sum in his mouth. When they saw Shishi, they all went to other people's houses. When they heard that there was still delicious food, they were not happy. , howling at her grandmother.
Children are greedy for fun, and he actually wants to play with the children in the alley, but grandma doesn't allow it, and they don't want to pay attention to him.
Old Madam Lin looked at Lin Xiaoqiang's trouble, her expression cracked for a moment, and she felt that Xu Tao was deliberately greedy for her eldest grandson.
"Xiaoqiang, let's not go, there are still snacks at home! Let's go home and have some snacks!"
But Xiaoqiang couldn't listen to Mrs. Lin's words, and sat on the ground sloppily: "No, I want to eat theirs too! It 's delicious."
Mrs. Lin reluctantly bent over to pick up her grandson, and she was about to speak to Xu Tao, but Xu Tao gave her a cold look, and before Mrs. Lin could speak, she went straight to The courtyard door slammed shut.
"..." Mrs. Lin was so angry that her chest hurt, and then she helplessly hugged her eldest grandson and prepared to go back to the house: "Why are you disobedient!"
Xiaoqiang was used to being domineering since he was a child, and Mrs. Lin didn't say anything. The truth is, children usually learn what they watch and learn what Mrs. Lin has done. He was forcibly picked up and kicked, screamed and cried at Mrs. Lin, and had a good meal. toss.
There was a lot of crying outside, but Xu Tao ignored it. After closing the door, she looked back at the five little radishes at home and couldn't help laughing.
"You are playing in the house, can aunt make Xiaolongbao for you to eat?" Since Xu Tao said that she would make something for the children to eat, she naturally wouldn't be fooling around.
But there was not much to eat at home, including flour, yeast, vegetables, and pork. After seeing a few children who were staring at her, she thought of making them Xiaolongbao.
"Xiaolongbao? Is it a big meat bun?" It was Yu Li's daughter, He Hua, who was the only girl among the five children.
"Xiaolongbao, just small meat buns." Xu Tao squatted down and pinched the little girl's face.
He Hua is very good-looking, not very handsome, but she has two little ponytails and looks very cute. The little girl will play with the boys in the alley since she can walk, which makes the little girl's personality more boyish. .
"Can Xiaohua eat two of them?" The little girl who hadn't eaten big meat buns for a long time coveted and stretched out two fingers to Xu Tao.
"Yes." Xu Tao naturally would not refuse the child's innocent request.
"Thank you auntie." The little girl knew she could eat two, and smiled contentedly.
"No need to thank you." Xu Tao smiled and said, "Then you guys will play in the house, and auntie will make xiaolongbao. Shitou, you are the eldest brother. Would you like to take some younger brothers and sisters to wash your hands?"
Xu Tao As you can see, these little guys are sweating profusely, and their little hands are dirty because they played with stones outside. Fortunately, Zhao Linan, this little monkey loves to play and play, but the little guy also loves to be clean. I came to get it before. When it comes to snacks, you know to wash your hands.
"Okay auntie." Shitou naturally agreed to the task Xu Tao posted.
Seeing this, Xu Tao stood up and went to the kitchen. She was afraid that a group of children were weak. Although it was hot, she did not let them wash their hands with cold water. She poured the hot water from the thermos into the basin, mixed it with cold water and felt the temperature. Just got outside.
"Come and wash your hands!"
"Mmmm." A group of five children immediately squatted around the basin like a flower to wash their hands together.
The little guy, Zhao Linan, also joined in the fun, but the little guy's complexion was obviously much paler and tenderer than other children. Therefore, the red pinch mark on the little guy's arm was also very obvious.
Vicious old woman! ! ! I really want to beat her hard to relieve my anger.
Xu Tao took a few deep breaths to calm down, and also knew that Zhao Linan's arms were so red because the little guy's skin was tender, otherwise she would really take a knife to settle accounts with Mrs. Lin.
A group of children washed their hands in a hurry, because a pot of hot water, washed their hands, several children also returned to joy, that kind of innocence also calmed the angry Xu Tao, she no longer looked at the children, but went to the kitchen Start making xiao long bao with noodles.
Xu Tao made a simple filling for Xiaolongbao in the kitchen and made a good noodle. He also made a simple filling for Xiaolongbao. There was a piece of meat at home, but he couldn't put all the meat. Xu Tao added some vegetables and cut them into foam. Mix well with the pork and add some seasonings to adjust the taste.
"Auntie, we've all washed our hands, do you need any help?" Shitou is still a seven-year-old boy. Children these days are sensible, and it is very common to help out a little.
"Let's play! Don't help!"
"Well, that's fine! Call me for help!" Shi Shi continued to answer, then went to the small hall of the main room, and started playing games with his younger siblings.
Today's children play a lot of games, even simple games can be played happily. Stone's father usually likes to play cards, so there are several decks of playing cards at home. The stones were used to play, and now a group of children gathered around the table and began to play Solitaire.
Don't look at these children who are not very good at counting, but on the card plane Solitaire, a few children can gradually understand the size of the cards, even if they are small, but the stone understands, he He is in control of the overall situation, how many cards everyone has, who will put the cards, and who can take the cards, he will speak out fairly.
The children were having a good time in the main room, and Xu Tao was relieved. He started to work quickly. When the noodles were almost fermented, he started making Xiaolongbao one by one.
Xu Tao's speed was very fast. When she packed about a dozen xiaolongbao, the children who were playing in the main room had already smelled the smell. Long Bao, drooling as he watched, no one dared to touch the little bun.
"Auntie, you are amazing!" Shi Shi praised Xu Tao.
Gentle and beautiful, she can make snacks and make small buns, Zhao Linan's mother is really amazing!
Xu Tao's xiao long bao sells well. The pleats are like flowers. They are placed on the cutting board and look delicious.
"Mom is amazing." Zhao Linan also happily praised, Zhao Linan has always been very confident in Xu Tao's cooking skills.
"This bun is so beautiful." He Hua stared at Xiao Long Bao, saliva spreading in the corners of his mouth.
"Auntie can also make small animal buns, do you want them?" Xu Tao smiled and looked at the children, and at the same time she pinched a pig-shaped bun neatly.
"Wow—" The five children exclaimed in unison at the same time.
Xu Tao was satisfied with the neat wow, and then looked at this group of little milk babies with little knowledge, and casually squeezed a lamb bun, which was very mini, but also very vivid.
"Wow—" The cheers were still there, and a few little heads stared at the piggy buns and lamb buns.
Chapter 018 Lin Fang
Although He Hua plays with boys every day and has a somewhat boyish personality, girls are girls after all, and they have a natural love for soft and cute things. Grab Xu Tao's skirt.
"Auntie, Huahua likes Tutu." Those round eyes were full of anticipation.
"I like rabbits! Auntie can pinch a little rabbit for you." Xu Tao smiled and pinched a rabbit's bun and came out.
"Thank you, Auntie." He Hua couldn't put it down. The little girl wanted to reach out and touch it several times, but she was reluctant to let it go, and then smiled and put her finger to her mouth and bit it lightly.
"Auntie, dog, I want a dog." Stone immediately said excitedly after seeing the rabbit.
Xu Tao also pinched a dog with satisfaction, and Shitou immediately looked at the puppy bun with excitement, and almost jumped up in joy.
"Auntie, Xiaonan likes her mother, pinches her!" Zhao Linan also joined in the fun, the cute little baby's eyes were rolling, thinking about what kind of animals he likes, but he ended up saying something to confess.
"Stinky boy, you actually called me auntie." Xu Tao couldn't help pinching the little boy's face, and also put flour on his face.
Zhao Linan laughed and avoided Xu Tao. After turning around, he approached Xu Tao: "Mom, Xiao Nan wants a pig."
Xu Tao then squeezed a pig and packed it out, because they were all children in the alley, Xu Tao Now that the buns that several children wanted were satisfied, he naturally asked the other two boys, squeezed a few small animal buns, and then continued to make xiao long bao.
Because of the children in the alley, the atmosphere in the kitchen has also become warmer, and the chattering of the children also makes Xu Tao happy. Steam.
Several children didn't go out to play because they were looking forward to xiao long bao. Stone took the lead, and they happily cooked steamed buns in the kitchen. The children had innocuous conversations, which was interesting and very fun.
Zhao Weiguo got off work early today. When he came back, the sun had not yet set. The warm sunset shone down on his back, making the way home smooth and happy.
Zhao Weiguo did not pay attention to what was behind him, nor did he know that a young girl not far away stared at him obsessively for a long time. When he saw that he was about to step into the house, he hurriedly said, "Well, please wait a moment.
" "..." Zhao Weiguo turned around in confusion when he heard the voice.
The tall man turned his head, and his handsome appearance broke into Lin Fang's eyes. Under the setting sun, the man faced the warm light, and his appearance was instantly embedded in the deepest and softest place.
"Hello, are you a new neighbor?" Lin Fangyin held back her pounding heart and looked at Zhao Weiguo with a perfect smile.
"Yeah." Zhao Weiguo nodded.
"It's really a new neighbor! Hello, my name is Lin Fang, and this is my home." Lin Fang smiled and pointed to the house behind him to introduce himself.
"Hello." Zhao Weiguo nodded indifferently and said hello.
Lin Fang stared at Zhao Weiguo with bright eyes, and was very satisfied with Zhao Weiguo. This man's stature and appearance are very outstanding. From head to toe, he seems to be as long as she likes, so it is just right.
"What's your name!" Lin Fang asked again excitedly.
"Zhao Weiguo." Zhao Weiguo's tone became cold.
"Then can I call you Big Brother Zhao?" Lin Fang was still smiling, deliberately pinching his throat, pretending to be a shy little girl, and twisting it very unnaturally.
"..." Zhao Weiguo looked at the woman impatiently, not understanding what she wanted to do.
"It is said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Brother Zhao, do you want to come to my house to sit down!" Lin Fang was shy, and immediately asked out in a hurry.
What is this woman doing?
"No, I'll disturb you another day." Zhao Weiguo replied, but he didn't want to continue talking to Lin Fang, and then turned around and strode into the door, closing the door at the same time.
Lin Fang looked at the closed door, feeling a little disappointed, but she couldn't help her excitement, and then turned around and hurried back to her home.
"Mom, have we moved to a new neighbor across from us?" Lin Fang returned home a little excited, but ignored the nephew who was lying in the hall saying that he wanted something delicious, and went to ask Mr. Lin who was cooking dinner in the kitchen. Mrs.
"Yeah." When Mrs. Lin heard her daughter's question, she hummed a little irritably, and then looked at her eldest grandson, who was sitting on the ground crying for a long time because of the noise in the hall. The old lady is even more elongated face.
"Really! Let's go get acquainted then!" She had been going home all the way after get off work, and the man opposite was tall and slender. In Yangcheng, men were generally not tall, and it was rare to see a man so tall. Spiritual man, and also a neighbor, inexplicably, Lin Fang was a little excited.
"What are you going to do? That family is very stingy. Our Xiaoqiang doesn't give him any snacks. He's lying on the ground and making noise all afternoon." Mrs. Lin said irritably, and had a very bad impression of the neighbor next door.
Grandson Xiaoqiang has been noisy since she was brought back to the house. She was lying on the ground and didn't want to get up. Her brain hurts as she cried, but this is her precious grandson again, and she is reluctant to scold him.
Lin Fang thought about the handsome man just now, and his face was a little unhappy, and then he glanced at the nephew who was disgusting with the dog on the ground: "Mom, they are not familiar with our family, so it is normal not to give them."
"I I want to eat delicious food, I want to eat delicious food..." Xiaoqiang lay on the ground shamelessly, no matter whether it was clean or not, his little nose twitched, smelling the fragrance from the next door, the little boy began to cry loudly again.
"You debt collector, what to eat, people don't want to give you something to eat, what's the use of crying." Mrs. Lin shouted angrily, and the anger in her heart grew even stronger.
"I don't care, I want to eat, I want to eat, grandma, go and ask for it for me." Xiao Qiang kicked his legs wildly, he didn't listen to any advice at all, the overbearing one wanted to eat.
Mrs. Lin was so angry that Lin Fang pursed her lips and lowered her eyes. She glanced at her nephew on the ground with disgust, and then her eyes lit up.
"Mom, why don't I go next door and ask! It's not the way to make Xiaoqiang cry like this." Lin Fang said, and was going to knock on the door next door.
Mrs. Lin looked at her grandson on the ground, and at her daughter who went out, but didn't make a sound to stop it.
When Zhao Weiguo
entered the house, he saw that the kitchen was very lively, with four or five children around the kitchen waiting for the steamed dumplings to be cooked.
Xu Tao also grabbed the xiao long bao made at the meal point, and when the xiao long bao was cooked, she opened the cauldron, and the fragrant aroma wafted out with white smoke, which aroused the excitement of the children.
Four or five children were all on their feet, craned their necks to look into the pot.
Xu Tao swiftly took out a plate of Xiao Long Bao with chopsticks: "One person, two!" Xu Tao turned around and handed the plate to Shi Shi.
"Thank you, Auntie!" Shitou was the oldest, he took the bowl and nodded, and then he greeted the little friends behind him to go to the main room, and he was not afraid of being hot and divided them into two.
"Be careful of being hot!" Xu Tao reminded a little worriedly as she watched a group of children get their hands on it without fear of being hot.
A few children are not afraid of being scalded while holding the xiao long bao, especially the stone. Seven or eight-year-old boys are very aggressive, grabbing the xiao long bao and stuffing them into their mouths, while blowing, and gulps. I bite off the xiaolongbao, one xiaolongbao is divided into two mouthfuls and swallowed.
"The meat is so fragrant." Shitou was so excited after eating a Xiaolongbao.
"Mmmm." The other children couldn't even bother to answer, they were excited to eat the buns.
Zhao Linan eats delicately, but children like to compare and compare. Seeing that the other children are eating very fast, Zhao Linan also opened his mouth and took a big bite of Xiaolongbao, laughing with everyone while eating.
"It's so lively at home today!" Zhao Weiguo said after standing in the yard for a while.
"You're back." Xu Tao vaguely heard Zhao Weiguo's voice just now, but she didn't ask much when she saw him coming back: "Today's dinner is xiao long bao, just out of the oven, do you want to try it?"
"Well." Zhao Weiguo naturally nodded.
"Hello, uncle." Shito greeted Zhao Weiguo.
"Hello, uncle."
Shitou took the lead to say hello. Several other children saw Zhao Weiguo, and then greeted each other quietly. The children were naturally afraid of the somewhat majestic Zhao Weiguo.
"Hello." Zhao Weiguo nodded in response to the group of children, and then said to Xu Tao, "I'll wash my hands." It seemed that he couldn't wait to try the xiaolongbao.
"Wow! Brother Xiaonan, your father is so tall!" Shitou was eating Xiaolongbao excitedly, but when he saw Zhao Weiguo washing his hands in the yard, the boy whispered to Zhao Linan with some envy.
"Yeah." Zhao Linan, who was picked up by Zhao Weiguo and looked at the view above, nodded as he nibbled at the xiaolongbao.
"You are so happy, your aunt is good-looking, the food is delicious, and your father is tall." Shitou looked at Zhao Weiguo with envy, and admired this tall man very much.
"Mmmm." Zhao Linan also felt that what Shishi said made sense, and the little guy continued to nod his head.
"Brother Xiaonan, your father looks good." He Hua is a little girl, don't look at a four-year-old girl, but children also know how to distinguish between beauty and ugliness, especially since almost all the people living in this alley are ordinary people. Everyone is familiar with Zhao Weiguo's tall, tough, masculine, yet handsome man.
"Hmm!" Zhao Linan continued to nod when he heard the praise from his friends.
Xu Tao naturally listened to the conversations of the little Dou Dings. She put a few Xiao Long Bao on a plate, and then looked at the man in the yard washing his hands.
Zhao Weiguo looks really good. He has a flat head, clear facial features, thin lips, a very straight nose, and deep eyes. The overall appearance is a bit sharp, but because of his face shape, the man does not look so cold. His military career for many years has also made him exude a sense of righteousness.
If the complexion is whiter, the standard appearance of a proper novel male protagonist.
Button button -
Zhao Weiguo had just finished washing his hands when there was a knock on the courtyard door outside, and the man walked to the door with a steady pace in confusion.
Chapter 019 Angry
The person who knocked on the door was Lin Fang next door. She stood outside the courtyard door and deliberately tidied up her appearance. When she saw Zhao Weiguo coming to open the door, she immediately raised a smile: "Brother Zhao, I'm sorry, did I bother you?
" Is something wrong?" As soon as Zhao Weiguo saw Lin Fang, the man's handsome brows twitched, and there was a hint of indifference in his tone.
Lin Fang's eyes met Zhao Weiguo's, and lowered his eyes a little shyly: "Well, it's like this, my eldest brother's son, my nephew Xiaoqiang is greedy, he cried at home and said that your family has delicious food, my family's It's just a child, and he always hurts him very much. He's crying so badly, I just wanted to come over and ask, what did your family cook! If it's convenient, can you..."
Lin Fang said before finishing her words. She shook her body shyly, her small expressions were all embarrassed, she realized that what she said was not a big problem, and she also portrayed the image of an aunt who loves her nephew. Brother Zhao, he should be able to hear it!
"Can what?" Zhao Weiguo asked in confusion.
"..." Lin Fang's tricks were a little difficult for Zhao Weiguo.
"Wow! The big rooster is wagging its tail!" Shito's family is a local. He has lived in this alley for a long time. He is very familiar with the surrounding neighbors, and he naturally knows the Lin family. The impression is also very bad. When the little guy saw that the person knocking on the door was Lin Fang next door, the two ate the Xiao Long Bao and hummed in disgust.
"Yeah." The little girl He Hua also nodded and agreed: "The big rooster is too annoying."
A group of their friends didn't like Lin Fang, and they called Lin Fang the big rooster in private, because Lin Fang worked in the post office, He is usually arrogant, and the same is true for their group of children. He often shouts and abuses him. Over time, the children in the alleys feel that Lin Fang is like a big cock, always walking with his butt on his back.
"Auntie, you have to be careful." Shitou looked back at Xu Tao with a worried look on his face.
"Be careful of what?" The kitchen was not far from the yard, and Xu Tao also noticed the situation outside, but she also heard the words of a few children.
When she visited the door before, she probably learned about the situation of the neighbors around her, and also guessed that the girl standing at the door should be the unmarried daughter of Mrs. Lin's house. I heard that she worked in the nearby post office, and she seemed to be arrogant because of her arrogance. never got married.
"Be careful that she seduces uncle." Shitou glanced outside with tangled eyes, thinking that his aunt was so good to them, and it was both dim sum and xiaolongbao, and he couldn't help reminding him.
Aunt is so good, what if that big cock wants to bully her!
"Oh!" Xu Tao was a little surprised at the precocious maturity of these children.
Shi Shi was only seven years old, but the little boy was very smart and keen. He wiped his hands and took off the apron around his waist, and walked out of the kitchen to Zhao Weiguo.
"Who's here!" Xu Tao asked Zhao Weiguo, and then walked to the door bluntly, taking the oath of sovereignty and looking at the true face of the old lady of the Lin family.
"The neighbor next door."
"Oh!" Xu Tao nodded and stood beside Zhao Weiguo, looking at a girl in her twenties standing at the entrance of the courtyard. The girl was staring at Zhao Weiguo. He moved his eyes away reluctantly, and when he faced Xu Tao, there was still a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
Does this make her uncomfortable? interesting.
Xu Tao raised her eyebrows: "Are you Lin Fang from the Lin family next door?"
"Yes! Big Brother Zhao, who is this?" Lin Fang looked at Xu Tao defensively, and her tone was a little unhappy.
She wanted to be polite to Xu Tao, but Xu Tao was attractive. Faced with such a beautiful woman, Lin Fang subconsciously hated her. Coupled with Zhao Weiguo, she finally fell in love with such a man.
"I'm Xu Tao, the daughter-in-law of Big Brother Zhao in your mouth." Xu Tao smiled and glanced at Zhao Weiguo with a teasing tone.
Zhao Weiguo also turned his gaze to Xu Tao, and saw the teasing smile in her eyes.
"Brother Zhao, you, are you married?" Lin Fang seemed to have suffered a huge blow in an instant, her expression was so lonely, her footsteps were a little staggering, and she seemed unwilling to believe this fact.
"Yeah! Are you okay?" Xu Tao asked when she saw her appearance.
"Her nephew wants to eat the xiaolongbao you made." Zhao Weiguo replied to Xu Tao for Lin Fang.
"Well, that's it." Lin Fang glanced at Xu Tao and nodded.
so what? Xu Tao continued to raise her eyebrows to look at Zhao Weiguo.
"What she said just now should be that she is willing to spend money to buy it. However, everyone is a neighbor. If you pack five xiaolongbao, you can charge a dollar if you want." Zhao Weiguo saw Xu Tao raised his eyebrows at him, and then said again. When the words fell, the man turned around and went back to the house.
After Xu Tao finished hearing Zhao Weiguo's words, she looked at Lin Fang with some playfulness: "You want to buy Xiao Long Bao!
" Still nodding hard.
"Okay, go home and get a bowl to pack, and I'll sell you a few xiaolongbao." Xu Tao continued.
"Okay, then you wait." Lin Fang gritted her teeth and turned to go home.
When Lin Fang went out, Lin Xiaoqiang, who was at home, stopped crying, and Mrs. Lin stretched her neck and waited. Seeing her daughter came back empty-handed, her expression was a little annoyed: "Didn't get anything to eat?"
"Don't ask." Lin Fang replied angrily, walked into the kitchen, took a bowl and went out.
When Mrs. Lin saw her daughter go out with the bowl, she thought she was going to eat, and she curled her lips proudly: "I'm also a little kid, give me something to eat, and I want someone to go home to get the bowl, bah!"
Lin Fang went home to get it Xu Tao was not in a hurry for the bowl. She continued to wait at the gate of the courtyard. When Lin Fang went home to get the bowl, she glanced back at the man in the main room and snorted coldly.
Lin Fang didn't delay for long, and walked back with the bowl to Xu Tao.
Xu Tao looked at the bowl that Lin Fang gave her, okay! It was the dim sum bowl she gave to Mrs. Lin that day. It was her own. She pouted silently, and Xu Tao went to the kitchen to pack five xiao long bao.
"Thanks for your patronage of one dollar." Xu Tao said and handed the bowl to Lin Fang.
"You're cheating on me! This bun is so small, five of them are smaller than one bun, so you have to charge a dollar?" Lin Fang stared at the Xiao Long Bao with a gloomy expression. She admitted that the little bun looked like a bun. Strangely beautiful, it smells delicious, but how can this amount of money cost a dollar!
"There's meat in this bun."
"It's not that expensive if you have meat!" Lin Fang's tone was still unhappy.
"Then don't buy it or not." Xu Tao swiftly reached out and grabbed it.
Lin Fang gritted her teeth and was very unhappy. She didn't achieve her goal at first, and Zhao Weiguo got married again, so she didn't have the heart to spend money. Just now, she was forced to buy it because she was in a hurry. Now Xu Tao asked, she hesitated before talking. : "Then I won't buy it anymore!"
A few small buns, so it costs a dollar to order something, so she won't be fooled!
"Alright then!" Xu Tao took the bowl and Xiao Long Bao and turned around to close the door.
"Hey! You haven't returned the bowl to me!" Lin Fang said angrily.
"You said this bowl!" Xu Tao turned around and raised the bowl in her hand: "This bowl is the bowl I sent snacks to your house a few days ago. Thank you for your hard work." Just close the gate.
Bang -
the courtyard door was closed, Lin Fang at the door widened her eyes in disbelief, her mouth wriggled for a long time, but she didn't say a word. After a long time, she stomped her feet angrily and turned to go home.
"Where's the food?" Old Mrs. Lin saw Lin Fang go out with the bowl, but she came back empty-handed, her face turned extremely dark in an instant.
"No." Lin Fang was furious.
"Where's the bowl? You're a spoiled brat, why did you give up the bowl?" Mrs. Lin was very angry. She kept asking herself that she was taking advantage of others. How could anyone take advantage of her family? The girl went to order something to eat, and even lost the bowl.
"People said that it was the bowl she gave snacks a few days ago, and said it belonged to her family."
"What is her family's, that little goblin is so stupid, it's obviously our family's bowl." Mrs. Lin's heart hurt like a knife. .
"..." Lin Fang was also very irritable, and had some knowledge of her old mother. Hearing the old lady scolding, she also guessed that the bowl should really belong to the neighbor opposite. She didn't feel bad for a bowl, she was angry. The thing is that Zhao Weiguo is married.
She finally fell in love with a man and ended up getting married, how could she not be angry!
"No, I have to go back." Mrs. Lin raised her hand and caressed her chest, cursing a few words, and then stepped forward to go back.
In her opinion, the bowl belonged to her family, so there was no reason not to come back.
"Mom, don't go, isn't it shameful enough?" Lin Fang was also a little angry, but she didn't ask Mrs. Lin to ask for a bowl, and it took some effort to calm her down.
...
Here, Xu Tao brought back both the xiaolongbao and the bowl, and because the bowl had been passed by Mrs. Lin's house, she was a little nervous, so she threw the bowl and xiaolongbao in a corner of the kitchen, and looked at the side. The tall man who was standing had a playful tone: "Amazing enough! The peach blossoms are chasing after the family."
"..." Zhao Weiguo was very helpless by Xu Tao's eyes: "I didn't do anything."
"Haha! "Xu Tao sneered.
Zhao Weiguo heard her sneer and did not dare to say more.
"Stone, stone... It's time to go home for dinner!" Just at this moment, Fan Qiumei's greeting came from the alley outside the yard.
Because in the evening, children almost all play in the alleys, and when adults greet children, they almost always stand at the door and call.
"My mother told me to go home for dinner." The two Xiaolongs wrapped their stomachs. The little guy was very happy and planned to go home when he heard the family's call.
"That Huahua has to go home too." He Hua pouted.
"Auntie, let's go home first." Shitou spoke to Xu Tao with a few children, then turned around and prepared to run home.
"Wait." Xu Tao saw that the four or five little skin monkeys were planning to go home. After saying hello, she brought them all the small long baos for the small animals that they had specially pinched. The xiaolongbao for Lin Fang was also distributed one by one.
Chapter 020
"Thank you, Auntie." A group of children lined up, all took two xiaolongbao to thank, and then went home in a hurry.
As soon as the children in the alley left, the noisy home became much quieter. Xu Tao glanced at Zhao Weiguo, who was standing beside him like a telephone pole, and said angrily, "Let's eat too!"
"Okay. "Zhao Weiguo touched his nose, took Xiao Long Bao and took his son out of the kitchen.
The xiaolongbao made by Xu Tao tasted very good. Zhao Linan had eaten several of them. Zhao Weiguo had a big appetite. Xu Tao thought that there should be a lot of xiaolongbao left, but Zhao Weiguo solved more than 20 of them at once. After dinner, there are only four or five Xiao Long Bao left.
"The taste is very fragrant, and one bite is just right." Zhao Weiguo said silently after he was full.
"You don't think it's uncomfortable to eat too much." Xu Tao, who was full after eating five, really panicked for Zhao Weiguo.
"No." Zhao Weiguo was very satisfied. The big man stood up first and started to clean up the dishes. Maybe it was because he had been a soldier for more than ten years in the army and was used to making and washing the lunch box by himself, so Zhao Weiguo would take it easy every time he finished eating. to wash the dishes.
Xu Tao didn't like to cook, nor did she like to wash the dishes. Facing Zhao Weiguo who consciously washed the dishes every time, she had to admit that this man was just a little bit more diligent, but he really just hit Xu Tao's soft-hearted point. , she and Zhao Weiguo are quite harmonious in life.
"Did you hit somewhere today?" the man washing dishes asked Xu Tao.
"No! Why are you asking that?"
"I smelled safflower oil and thought you were injured."
"It was Xiao Nan who was pinched on the arm by the old lady next door today, and I rubbed some safflower oil on him.
Zhao Weiguo stopped washing dishes and turned around: "The old lady next door pinched Xiao Nan's arm?" "
Yeah! I didn't expect it! An old woman can actually do something to a child that big." Xu Tao's tone was as disgusting as she was talking about garbage.
"The old lady is fifty or sixty years old, right?" Zhao Weiguo frowned.
"No, black-hearted old witch!" Xu Tao couldn't help gnashing her teeth when she thought of this.
"Is it serious?"
"Not serious, no broken skin." Rubbing safflower oil is also to repel mosquitoes, and the little guy attracts mosquitoes very much.
"Yeah." Zhao Weiguo began to wash the dishes again.
"You came back early today, so why don't you just give your son a bath later!" Xu Tao leaned against the kitchen door and continued to propose to Zhao Weiguo's back.
After mixing noodles and making xiaolongbao all afternoon, Xu Tao was also a little tired.
Naturally, Zhao Weiguo responded without any objections: "Okay." Not bad,
not bad! Xu Tao nodded with satisfaction. To be honest, she slammed through the book. Xu Tao was uneasy. Zhao Weiguo's behavior calmed Xu Tao's uneasiness in a big way. Seeing that the little guy's bathing problem has been resolved, he will return when he is idle. The room continued to write novels.
After Zhao Weiguo washed the dishes, he started to boil hot water to bathe Zhao Linan.
The blood relationship between father and son has been a magical existence since ancient times. Even if the identity of a father does not have a high sense of existence in the lives of many children, when a boy and his father get along, they get to know each other much faster than their mothers. Of course, it may also be due to the natural affection between men.
"Haha..."
"Hee hee..."
When Xu Tao was writing a book in the house, she heard the cheerful laughter of the father and son coming from the courtyard.
Zhao Weiguo is not as meticulous as Xu Tao. The man directly took the child and stood in the yard to wash. There was a large bucket of hot water next to him. He held a big red water scoop in his hand and poured water over the child's head. Zhao Linan Being stripped bare and standing on the ground, pouring wet from head to foot, was still overjoyed.
"More." Zhao Linan was very happy with the water.
"Okay." Zhao Weiguo continued to water his son contentedly.
The yard was laughing and joking, and when the washing was almost done, Zhao Weiguo wiped the little guy clean with a towel, and then carried the child into the room.
"I don't know whether to take a bath or play with water." Xu Tao put down the pen and looked at Zhao Linan who was carried into the room by Zhao Weiguo and placed on the bed.
"It's fun." Zhao Linan was really happy.
"Isn't it fun!" Xu Tao stepped forward and pinched the little guy's nose, watching the little guy get excited, and didn't have the idea of going to bed and lying down obediently.
"Hee hee!" Zhao Linan still smirked.
"It looks like he won't be able to fall asleep for a while, you are responsible for coaxing him!" Xu Tao looked at the little guy with a headache, turned around to pack up the pen and notebook and went to take a bath.
"Okay." Zhao Weiguo had no objection.
He didn't spend much time with his son before, and he enjoyed the parent-child time now, and motioned the little guy to lie down and sleep.
"Dad sleep together." Zhao Linan sat on the bed and patted the bed with his little hands, his face full of anticipation.
Zhao Weiguo looked at his son, turned back from the window and quietly looked outside at Xu Tao who was preparing to take a bath. The tips of his ears were slightly hot. To be honest, Zhao Weiguo didn't really understand himself. Now, I have also considered whether to live a normal married life with Xu Tao.
But he was also a little flustered, afraid that Xu Tao would not like it.
"Brother Shitou said that both parents sleep together." Zhao Linan frowned.
Zhao Weiguo was a little embarrassed: "That's because our bed is too small, and we can only sleep two people." Looking for reasons to perfunctory his son, he was so foolish as to have no technical content.
"Is that so?" Zhao Linan looked at his father suspiciously.
"Well, otherwise Xiaonan can sleep alone, so that his father can sleep with his mother!" Zhao Weiguo suggested with a smile.
"Can't we all sleep together?" Zhao Linan asked with a tangled face.
"No."
"Dad and mother sleep, Xiaonan sleeps by himself?" Zhao Linan continued to ask.
The little guy who is less than three years old, his thinking is quite clear, and he is really considering the possibility of sleeping by himself, and then sighs and nods: "Then let Dad sleep by himself!" The tone was reluctant.
Can't you just sacrifice for your father?
Zhao Weiguo watched his son sigh, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh. As a legal husband, he couldn't sleep with his daughter-in-law in his arms. Do you think he's not in a hurry? No, he was in a hurry than anyone else, but he knew that things couldn't be rushed.
"Okay, stinky boy, hurry up and sleep!" Zhao Weiguo forced the little guy down, and then covered the little guy's stomach with a small blanket.
Zhao Linan lay down, looked at Zhao Weiguo and nodded obediently, the little guy's cheerfulness of taking a bath before had passed, leaning on the pillow, he fell asleep without much effort.
"Sleep really fast." Zhao Weiguo looked at his son and smiled softly.
He gave Zhao Linan a bath just now, but he hasn't done it yet. He will sit on the stool in the main room and wait for Xu Tao to take a bath before taking a bath.
Xu Tao's bathing speed has always been slow. Zhao Weiguo knew this for a long time. He sat calmly and waited, but felt inexplicably anxious.
After half an hour, Xu Tao came back from the shower. During the day, her long black hair was braided behind her back. Her face was clean. When he came down, his originally gentle, soft and white appearance became even more pleasant under the dim light at night.
"You..." Xu Tao was startled by Zhao Weiguo who was sitting in the main room.
"Scared?" Zhao Weiguo asked.
Isn't this nonsense! Xu Tao's depressed cheeks puffed up: "Why are you still not sleeping?"
"I haven't taken a shower yet."
"Oh." Xu Tao nodded in response, and cautiously wanted to go back to her room: "I'm done washing, you go wash it. I'm going to sleep."
"Wait." Zhao Weiguo stopped Xu Tao.
Xu Tao was a little surprised, but she stopped moving and looked back to see Zhao Weiguo stand up and approach her step by step.
"What's the matter?" Xu Tao asked. She was inexplicably uncomfortable in her light pajamas. She was too embarrassed to look at Zhao Weiguo. She always felt that this man's aura was different from usual tonight, especially the pair of scorching heat that seemed to devour her. eyes.
Is this man going to do something to her?
Xu Tao also thought about it, she and Zhao Weiguo are nominally husband and wife, and it is normal for them to share the same bed. These days, the man and her have tacitly slept in separate rooms, which made Xu Tao relieved, but now it is a little vague. disturbed.
"Xiao Nan said just now that the other couples living in the alley are sleeping together. Ask me why I didn't sleep with you?" Zhao Weiguo lowered his voice and did not get close to Xu Tao. He stopped three steps away from Xu Tao. Eyes burning.
"..." The bear child is kind of looking for something for her!
Xu Tao pursed her lips: "What did you say?"
"I..." Zhao Weiguo didn't finish his sentence, his hoarse voice twirled on purpose.
Xu Tao listened nervously, her heart beating like thunder drums. She had lived for more than 20 years in her last life. She also talked about a boyfriend, but then the social atmosphere opened up, and many things happened in love with each other.
Xu Tao has never suffered any emotional injuries. Other girls of the same age would look forward to vigorous love in their adolescence, but Xu Tao did not. She lived a very peaceful life and passed step by step.
However, facing Zhao Weiguo at this moment, Xu Tao couldn't help being a little flustered.
"I can't lie to the child! I had to tell him that it was because someone was timid and didn't want to sleep with me."
"What nonsense are you talking about." Xu Tao naturally retorted, but after retorting, she felt guilty.
Gudu——
Xu Tao didn't dare to meet Zhao Weiguo's eyes, she moved away, pursed her lips for a moment and decided to escape back to the room.
Zhao Weiguo was very patient with Xu Tao, the purpose of saying this was just to scare her, to see her panicked appearance, and then watching her turn around and prepare to run back to the room, he stretched his palm and grabbed her arm: "What nonsense? Where am I? Nonsense?"
"You, let go first." Xu Tao felt a little uncomfortable.
"Let go and run back to the room." Zhao Weiguo relaxed a little, but he did not let go of his hand. He pinched her slender wrist with his palm, and his thumb gently rubbed against the delicate skin.
"You're being a hooligan!" Xu Tao's wrist was itchy, and she couldn't stand it anymore and glared at him: "Can a man who has been a soldier be so rude?"
