Sweetness

Two days later, the literature symposium was officially held in Jincheng Modern Literature Museum.

A total of more than one hundred experts and scholars attended the meeting to discuss the current status of literature. The meeting lasted for two days and was unprecedentedly grand.

Before going out, in line with the principle of 'it's okay anyway, if you're idle, you're idle', Xu Qingning also pulled Xu Qingai who was at home for the elderly and lying dead.

The nature of her second sister's work is like this, she can die when she is idle, and die when she is busy.

Fortunately, there are still ten days before her school starts, and in these ten days, her second sister frantically swiped favorability notes in front of Xiaoshanren, making Xiaoshanren feel that her second sister is more suitable for her lover than herself.

Xu Qingning took advantage of the two days' free time to supplement the strategy plan.

After a period of contact, Xu Qingning also roughly figured out Xiaoshanren's character.

It is almost impossible for her to change her mind and fall in love with the second sister in a short period of time, so in order to ensure the success of the plan, there is still one last way to go.

--showdown.

Showdown directly with Xiaoshanren.

She showed her heart and showed that she didn't want to be trapped in an arranged marriage. If she definitely wanted to get married, she could choose between her and her second sister.

The success of doing this may be great, after all, Xiaoshan people are not like people who are difficult for others.

But doing so feels very unfair to Xiaoshan people.

Xu Qingning didn't know how to describe this feeling, as if Xiaoshanren could only choose between her and her second sister. Although the original sin was in the marriage contract, her blatant refusal was undoubtedly hitting her in the face of Xiaoshanren in public s face.

Saying you're going to get along and have a look and develop a relationship, only to have it all turned upside down in the end - it hurts so much.

So to do this, it is best to do so under the premise that Xiaoshanren has enough affection for her second sister.

It's better to have more favors than her, so that Xiaoshanren can choose Xu Qingai from the bottom of his heart, and she will leave without a hitch, everyone is happy.

Xu Qingning has been observing for the past two days, and she found that her second sister and Xiaoshanren get along quite harmoniously, feeling like a guest.On the other hand, she and Xiaoshanren get along very flatly, and there is no spark.

In all fairness, if Xu Qingning were to choose by herself, she would definitely choose her second sister.

Luo Hailing came to pick him up by car, Hetian Tian walked in front, Xu Qingning and Xu Qingmai walked behind, seeing Xu Qingmai yawned without concealing his sleepiness, he asked curiously: "Did you become a thief last night?"

"It's rare to have inspiration. I stayed up all night and drew some pictures."

Xu Qingning smiled, not understanding: "You creative people have quite mysterious inspirations, isn't it more mysterious than buying lottery tickets?"

"Not really," Xu Qingai suppressed the sleepiness in her eyes, "I've talked a lot with Tiantian in the past two days, and most of my inspiration comes from this... It's really mysterious to talk about it this way." She also smiled as she spoke.

Xu Qingning looked at the white figure not far away, her voice couldn't hear the emotion: "Then you two are pretty good for each other."

"Don't worry, I won't steal your person." Xu Qingai hooked her shoulder and smiled: "Don't listen to grandpa's nonsense, I am not worthy."

Speaking of this, Xu Qingning finally asked, her tone casual: "What have you and grandpa been talking about for the past two days, every time I go, I don't talk, just sneaking around."

To be honest, it should be Xu Qingai, Tian Tian and Grandpa Xu who are talking.

Every time Xu Qingning went there, she could only listen to the end of the story. After finally asking, Grandpa Xu joked that he was discussing that 'Xu Qingmai and Tian Tian are more suitable', which directly shocked Xu Qingning.

It's not anything else, it's just that this kind of agreement that she and her grandfather reached in private, and the old man said it publicly, especially in front of the two parties involved, she couldn't help but feel guilty.

Fortunately, the person involved didn't know about it, so she was still comforting her: "There's nothing to talk about... I really don't intend to rob Tian Tian from you, don't worry?"

Xu Qingning was worried, and subconsciously asked, "If I agree to let you snatch it..."

Before the words were finished, Xu Qingai's inquiring gaze was attracted, and Xu Qingning flinched, and met her gaze grandly: "What's wrong?"

Xu Qingai hooked her shoulders, took her aside, and lowered her voice very low: "What do you mean? I see that you have been getting along very well with Tiantian recently. Don't you like her a lot?"

Xu Qingning said in her heart that I did it for you!

But in the current environment, it is obviously not appropriate to talk about these things. Xu Qingning changed the subject and smiled: "I was just joking."

"You'd better be." Xu Qingai let go of her shoulders.

The four got into the car together.

The Jincheng Modern Literature Museum is located in the old city. After being beaten by the wind and frost of history, the building looks gray and old. In recent years, the renovation and repairs have only done some superficial work. The bright red banners in front of the Literature Museum are particularly conspicuous.

Luo Hailing parked the car, rushed into the car and said: "It's early, the meeting in the morning is not over yet, why don't you go around the neighborhood?"

It was all right, and the group of four got out of the car again.

Compared with the new city, the old town looks very old, literally old, as if a gray veil is cast in front of the eyes, and everything looks gray.

Xu Qingning seldom came here, her eyes glanced aimlessly, and she fell behind without knowing it. When she recovered, the three people had already reached the opposite side of the road.

Just as Xu Qingning was about to chase after her, she saw the little mountain man who had been walking well suddenly stop. She turned her head to look around, and finally met her eyes. She first smiled, then moved her lips, and said something.

The other two followed suit.

Xu Qingning stepped up to keep up, and came closer to hear her second sister complaining about her: "Slow down, you might as well go home."

Tian Tian took a step forward, walked to Xu Qingning's side and took her hand, saying, "I'll hold her this time, so I promise I won't fall behind."

"Alright." Xu Qingai smiled.

Luo Hailing looked at the mobile phone navigation, and Okita sweetly said: "The fried rice cake shop I told you about last time is just around the corner, follow us, don't lose us."

Tian Tian: "I know."

Being led away... Xu Qingning has no memory of this since she became sensible.

She thought Xiao Shanren was just talking, but she didn't expect her to hold her hand very seriously. She could clearly feel the strength of her hand. It was not strong, but it was not easy to break free, as if she was really a child who could get lost and wander around.

Just in a daze like this, I walked to the door of the fried rice cake shop.

The facade of the rice cake shop is very small, and you can't find it unless you look carefully, but the business is very hot. The four square tables crowded in the shop are all full of people, and there are a few scattered people queuing outside the door.

Luo Hailing and Xu Qingai joined the queue, and Xu Qingning and Tian Tian stood aside, listening to her explain: "Sister Luo said that the fried rice cakes here are very delicious."

Xu Qingning didn't respond.She felt ashamed, she had lived here for more than ten years, but she never knew there was such a shop.

Not long after, Luo Hailing came over with freshly baked hot fried rice cakes, and she handed the chopsticks to Tian Tian: "Try it?"

Tian Tian looked at Xu Qingning: "Do you want to eat sour first?"

Luo Hailing smiled, and simply pierced a piece with a chopstick, and handed it to the two of them: "Come on."

Xu Qingning instantly felt that she was like a baby bird waiting to be fed, or the one who needed the most care in the bird's nest, and slowly took the chopsticks.

"Be careful." Luo Hailing didn't know who to tell.

The fried rice cake was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a thin layer of chili powder sprinkled on the outside. It was soft and sweet in the mouth, and Xu Qingning bit it off.

"It's delicious." Tian Tian said.

Luo Hailing took the chopsticks from Tian Tian, ​​tied a piece of it, and put it in his mouth: "I bought a little of each, Qing Mi is still waiting, do you want to eat here or take it away?"

"Is there enough time?"

Luo Hailing glanced at the phone: "I can only eat it on the road, I will ask the proprietress to pack a few more."

Luo Hailing left and came back, asking, "Are you still eating?"

Tian Tian smiled: "Yes."

Luo Hailing simply handed the packed paper box to her, and said as he walked, "You guys eat this first, I'll go and have a look."

Xu Qingning swallowed the piece of fried rice cake in her mouth, watched Luo Hailing take away Tian Tian's chopsticks, and was still in a daze, when the people around her said, "Sour, lend me your chopsticks."

"..." Xu Qingning handed her the chopsticks dully.

It's nothing, Xu Qingning said heartily.It's not the first time, last time she even bit the pancakes she had eaten, it's okay to use the same chopsticks.

"what--"

Xu Qingning looked over in surprise, Tian Tian had already brought the fried rice cake to her mouth, her eyes looked at her eagerly, extraordinarily bright, Xu Qingning tilted her head unconsciously, opened her mouth and bit the rice cake.

"Be careful it's hot." She said in time.

Xu Qingning chewed and thought, it's still nothing.

The last time she raised the little mountain man's arm to send cakes to her mouth, she had already fed it, and there was no difference between active feeding and passive feeding.

After the two of them finished eating one bite at a time, the two people in line also came over with a few boxes of rice cakes. Luo Hailing handed the box in his hand to Tian Tian: "Try it, fried rice cakes with sweet-scented osmanthus flavor."

Luo Hailing handed a pair of chopsticks to Xu Qingning's hands: "Try it too."

Tian Tian's eyes sparkled after tasting it: "This one is delicious too."

Luo Hailing: "As long as you like it."

Walking while eating, the speed was much slower. When the four of them returned to the entrance of the Literature Museum, the door of the Literature Museum had already opened.

After climbing up the steps in front of the Literature Museum, people walking together came out of the venue one after another, looking around in a black ash, all of them were quite old, and the four young girls who were full of vigor were caught in it, which was particularly abrupt.

Fortunately, several people were busy looking for someone, and they didn't have time to take care of those curious or probing eyes.

Seeing that he was about to enter the venue, Luo Hailing found out his mobile phone and was about to make a call when he suddenly heard someone shouting not far away: "Professor Wu, wait for me!"

Following the man's line of sight, a gray-haired old man stopped in his tracks. He had a pair of silver-rimmed glasses on his face, and he had a refined demeanor. Surrounded by a few middle-aged men with elegant demeanors, he walked up to the The entrance of the venue.

Xu Qingning glanced at the photos on Baidu Encyclopedia, and asked uncertainly, "Is that him?"

He didn't get a reply, but he saw the old man walking towards them: "Tian Tian?" His tone was extremely pleasant.

"Grandpa Wu." Tian Tian stepped forward.

"Why did you come here?" He pulled her hand excitedly, looking at the people around Tian Tian, ​​still excited: "Come to look for me? Your grandma asked you to come? Has your grandma come?" His eyes He was still looking behind her, as if he was still looking for someone.

Tian Tian smiled: "Grandma didn't come."

Those middle-aged people had already followed the teacher to surround them. Seeing this situation, they were all curious, Grandpa Wu reached out to stop him, and only pulled a middle-aged person forward, introducing him to Tian Tian: "Do you remember this uncle? Your grandmother was a student back then, and she went to your house back then..."

He was lost in memory, and it took him a long time to smile: "...you were only three or four years old at that time, so it's normal if you don't remember."

The middle-aged man who was carried forward looked at Tian Tian: "... Teacher, is this Professor Meng's granddaughter?"

"Yes!" Grandpa Wu wanted to introduce, but when he saw Tian Tian's face, he stopped abruptly: "Do you want to talk to Grandpa?"

Tian Tian smiled: "It's not very important, you should do it first."

"It's not busy, there's nothing to be busy after the meeting." Wu Xudong smiled happily, looked around, and led Tian Tian to the pavilion not far away: "Go there and talk to grandpa."

The experts and scholars who participated in the meeting were still going out one after another, and the middle-aged man left behind by Grandpa Wu could only stare at the three of them. Xu Qingai recovered from the situation and said in a daze: "Sweet grandma... ...It's amazing, isn't it?"

"It's quite powerful." Luo Hailing, who knew a little bit about the inside story, said.If it is now, it is also a figure who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Professor Wu.

"Then why did you bring Tiantian back to the mountain?" Xu Qingai looked at Luo Hailing.

Luo Hailing shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.

The uncle who had been a student of Grandma Meng said: "I happened to be the last student under Professor Meng. I know a little bit. At that time, Professor Meng was retiring. After insisting on retiring, he retired."

Seeing the puzzled expressions of the three, he said again: "It's a family matter, and only the teacher knows what it is."

During the silence, Grandpa Wu was leading Tian Tian back.

Xu Qingning looked into her reddish eyes, not quite listening to the words in her ear.Cried?

She watched for a while.

Perhaps Xu Qingning's eyes were too hot, Tian Tian suddenly looked over, her eyes met, she was obviously startled, and then she bent her lips and smiled, admiringly.
