Daddy Academy

Chapter 786 I owe an apology (12)

The morning of the New Year should be the most warm, sleepy eyes are opened amidst the sound of firecrackers, the sun is shining softly on the window lattice, and the snow-white window paper is pasted with colorful window grilles cut with oily paper. They are like flowers blooming in the cold winter. A touch of beauty embellishes the New Year, and also lights up people's vision and hope for the New Year.

Teacher Jiang is getting old, and went to bed at eleven o’clock last night. When she woke up in the morning, she woke up to the sound of firecrackers. When she opened her eyes, she saw the colorful window grilles printed on the window lattice in the morning light. She thought to herself that it’s another year .

She immediately thought that this year was different from previous years. Ever since her son couldn't come back, she was used to spending the Spring Festival alone. Her biggest hope was that Xiaobai would come back, but this was beyond her control.

She can only hope.

She heard the movement in the living room outside the door, and gradually remembered the excitement of last night.

When people get older, many things are confused. The idea is clearly in the heart, but it just can't reach the brain, and it can't be remembered no matter how much it is thought about.

She subconsciously wanted to get up and look at the brazier in the living room. If there was no fire, she had to start a fire again. On the one hand, it was for heating, and on the other hand, it was a local custom that the fire on New Year's Eve could not be extinguished, and it had to be burned overnight.

In the past, when she passed by alone, she couldn’t stay up all night, so she put in more charcoal, lowered the fire, left sparks, and tried to burn all night, and got up early the next morning to add charcoal.

She was just about to get up, but suddenly thought of something, she leaned against the head of the bed instead, her eyes fell on the quilt in front of her, and she saw that the pattern of window grilles on the window sills was illuminated by the sun and printed on the quilt, it was "Birth of a Lotus" , The sound of distant firecrackers sounded in my ears, it was the door opening firecrackers of other people in the village, one after another, dogs barking and chickens crowing.

She remembered that there was Zhang Tan in the living room, and she heard the movement, so she could rest assured that the fire in the brazier would not go out.

Zhang Tan and Xiao Bai kept vigil last night, but Xiao Bai couldn't make it through, and fell asleep lying in Zhang Tan's arms at almost 1 o'clock, and then was carried into the room, sleeping until now and still hasn't woken up.

Teacher Jiang originally just wanted to sit on the bed for a while, but soon became engrossed in thinking about things and fell into memories, and it took a while to wake up.

When people get older, it is easy to think about the past.

She got up and opened the door, and she saw that the living room was very warm, the fire in the brazier was burning, the door was open, the firecrackers in the yard outside the house had been cleaned up, piled up together, and a big rooster held its toes high walk through the gate...

She saw a young man sitting in the living room, lowering his head and adding charcoal to the brazier, vaguely aware that Jiang Ping had returned.

"Happy New Year, Teacher Jiang." The other party looked up at her and said with a smile.

Only then did Teacher Jiang see clearly that it was Zhang Tan, not Jiang Ping.

Jiang Ping couldn't come back.

Teacher Jiang's face was full of disappointment, but he quickly covered up his gaffe at this moment, pretending to be calm and said: "Zhang Tan, you have a happy new year too, didn't you sleep all night?"

"Sit here and take a nap for a while."

As he said that, Zhang Tan got up and came to her, and formally greeted her with a smile, which surprised Teacher Jiang, because Zhang Tan gave her a kneeling prostration, kowtowing to the ground, just like Xiaobai last night.

Teacher Jiang hurriedly helped him up, why did this happen.

After Zhang Tan got up, he said guiltily that he would ask Mr. Jiang to treat him as his son in the future. He already regarded her as his mother.

Teacher Jiang was stunned, seeing Zhang Tan's serious expression, he couldn't help crying at this moment.

Zhang Tan put his arms around her shoulders, patted her lightly, and said sorry in a low voice.

sorry?Sorry for what?Zhang Tan didn't say it, he didn't need to say it, he knew it, and he believed that Teacher Jiang could understand it too.

He has always owed Teacher Jiang an apology.

Teacher Jiang's heart knot cannot be completely untied in an instant, but it is already being untied.

She went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, but Zhang Tan didn't come to help, and wanted to leave some private space for Teacher Jiang, which caused her to shed a lot of tears early in the morning.

The bedroom door opened suddenly, Xiaobai was wearing pajamas and a leifeng cap crookedly, appeared at the door sleepily, rubbed his hard-opened eyes, and asked: "I heard grandma crying Lie?"

Zhang Tan said: "You must have heard it wrong. Today is the Chinese New Year, how can someone cry. Are you so cold? You know how to wear a hat."

Xiaobai nodded, ran back to the room with a whoosh, got into the bed, and forgot to take off the leifeng cap on his head.

Not long after she lay down, Dunzi's voice calling her came from outside the window.

"Xiaobai~~~Xiaobai, I wish you New Year's greetings, Xiaobai—"

Dunzi squatted under the window of her bedroom and yelled loudly. Xiaobai got up and lay down by the window to look out, only to see Dunzi dressed like a ball, also wearing a leifeng hat that covered her ears, and her face was flushed like Frosted red persimmons hanging on the branches.

He made a bow with both hands, and paid homage to Xiaobai for his early years.

It's true in the early years, early in the morning, he didn't brush his teeth or wash his face, there were marks left by sleeping on his face, and traces of dry saliva at the corners of his mouth, just to become the first little pot in the world to greet Xiaobai friend.

He did it!Except for the mighty and majestic rooster crowing and passing by under the small white window, no other life passes by.

Xiaobai laughed loudly, got up quickly, put on a down jacket and hat indiscriminately, ran out in a hurry, and picked up firecrackers in the yard with Dunzi.

"Brother~~ I wish you New Year's greetings." Seeing Zhang Tan, Dunzi took the initiative to kneel down and kowtow to him.

Zhang Tan: →_→

While helping the pier up, he muttered to himself, what are you calling me? ? ?brother? ?Are you taking advantage of Xiaobai? ? ?

"Thank you, I also wish you a happy new year, healthy growth, and successful studies. Wait for me."

Zhang Tan went back to the room and took out a red envelope, which was lucky money for Dunzi.

Xiaobai watched eagerly, and Zhang Tan said, "Do you want it? You haven't paid me New Year's greetings yet."

"Huh?" Xiaobai said, "I wished you New Year's greetings last night, and you gave me a big red envelope."

"Last night was last night, today is today, and last night was written off. If you wish me New Year's greetings today, it's fine."

Xiaobai knelt down immediately, and shouted: "I don't know what to say, then Boss Zhang~~ I wish you a happy new year!"

Zhang Tan helped her up and gave her another red envelope.

Xiaobai happily took out the red envelopes he received last night from his pocket, put them together, counted them, hey, there was one more? ?
There is a line of words on the red envelope, and Xiaobai holds it in front of his eyes to read the words, "What do you mean by Malanhua? What about Malanhua?"

She showed it to Zhang Tan and asked Zhang Tan to help her read.

Zhang Tan told her that her aunt gave it to her last night, and the words on the red envelope read: Big red envelope from Malanhua.

Ma Lanhua originally gave Xiaobai a red envelope, but unexpectedly it was the smallest one among the many red envelopes. Everyone must be too rich, so she was unlucky that Xiaobai gave the red envelope to Xiaobai as lucky money. It made her feel very embarrassed. When she was going back at night, she wrapped another big red envelope. Because of face, she didn't give it directly to Xiaobai, but secretly stuffed it in her pocket. In order to prevent Xiaobai from not knowing that it was from her, she added another big red envelope. I wrote a line to make Guawazi grateful, don't say her red envelopes are small red envelopes in the future.

Zhang Tan looked at the line of words on the red envelope, Ma Lanhua didn't write aunt but Ma Lanhua, and called her own name, it seemed to have a different meaning, maybe it wasn't just for Xiaobai, but for him, a little white old man , roughly means, look, the red envelope I gave you doll is not too small, don’t keep it in mind.
