The old man is really good at sleeping in. Even the housekeeping aunts came over to make lunch, but he still didn't want to get up.

Wen Mubai yelled for a while in reassurance, he said with a sullen head that he would give it another half an hour, and then continued to sleep soundly.

Seeing that his complexion was rosy and his body seemed to be in good health, Wen Mubai could only close the door and exit, turned around and saw Xu Chacha standing behind him, lowered his head and asked her, "What's wrong."

Xu Chacha tugged at her clothes, "I want to play there."

Wen Mubai looked in the direction of her finger, it was the gardenia field that her grandmother had been taking care of carefully during her lifetime.

The rain outside had stopped before she knew it, and the crisp birdsong was over the branches, as if inviting them to go out for a walk.

"Go and put on the rain boots." Wen Mubai patted her, "The road outside is not easy to walk."

"Okay!" Xu Chacha knew what she meant and agreed, and ran downstairs happily, and put on her little yellow boots lightly, "Auntie, come quickly, quickly."

Wen Mubai's movements were always unhurried, even if Xu Chacha urged him to do so, he still slowly tied his shoelaces into bows and straightened them up before standing up.

"Let's go." She took Xu Chacha's little hand and pushed open the back door.

The air after the rain smells very fresh and has a slight earthy smell, which makes people feel like they want to take a deep breath.

Xu Chacha did indeed do this, she took a full breath, then let go of Wen Mubai's hand and ran to the gardenia field.

Gardenias usually bloom until July and August, and now they are all green, with only a few surviving white flowers dotted here and there.

Xu Chacha squatted down next to a gardenia flower that hadn't faded, and smelled its faint and pleasant fragrance when she got closer. Finally, she knew why Mother Xu was so obsessed with perfume.

Good smell is the magical magic that can change the mood in an instant.

Wen Mubai stood behind Xu Chacha who shrunk into a small ball, most of the sunlight was blocked by her figure, "Come early next summer, this place is even more beautiful."

Xu Chacha stretched out her fleshy fingers to lightly touch the bud, but she didn't expect it to be knocked off like that. She tensed up, and hurriedly grabbed it with both hands in the air, and managed to save it before it fell into the dirt.

"call……"

Wen Mubai witnessed her sand sculpture behavior the whole time, and said with a slight smile: "Like it?"

"I like it." Xu Chacha nodded, holding the white flower bud, "Give it to Auntie."

Wen Mubai took it over, pinched a branch under the flower and played with it between her fingers, she remembered the wreath that Xu Chacha gave her yesterday.

"How to weave the wreath before, teach auntie."

"Okay." Xu Chacha collected several complete and long enough flower stems, picked off the large extra leaves, and gave a handful to Wen Mubai, "It's very simple, Auntie will follow me step by step."

Ever since she helped Wen Mubai weave bracelets before, she fell in love with this kind of handwork, and often searched on video sites, and this was also learned during that time.

"Take two out first, and make a circle around the other one." Xu Chacha's hands were small but her movements were quite nimble, she showed a good look and handed it to Wen Mubai for her to follow suit.

"Well, it's all right." Wen Mubai showed it to her, "Check it out, little teacher?"

"Yes." Xu Chacha nodded, "Then take out another one, it's still the same loop, wrap it around again, and it will continue to be like this until you feel that the length is enough, then finish it."

"it is good."

After mastering the method, Wen Mubai moved very quickly, her two fingers flashed quickly, and within a few seconds, a beautiful and delicate wreath was completed under her hands.

"How to finish it." She turned her head to ask Xu Chacha, but found that the little guy was wrinkling his face, facing the semi-finished product in his hand like an enemy.

Because the wreath is getting thicker and thicker, the number of stems that need to be handled also increases, and her hands are too small to keep slipping out.

"Why are you so fast." Xu Chacha couldn't believe it, "Is this really the first time?"

Wen Mubai smiled but said nothing, took her one, quickly wrapped it around and handed it back for her, "Continue teaching, teacher."

Xu Chacha was a little annoyed, Wen Mubai's operation, which completely ruined a young man's enthusiasm for handicrafts.

Some people are really good at everything, which is too unconvincing.

"At the end, just wrap it around like this, wrap it well and stuff the tail into the small circle in front." The finishing work is relatively simple, and Xu Chacha did it by herself while demonstrating.

"Does it look good?" Wen Mubai held the finished wreath in his palm and asked Xu Chacha to admire it together.

"Pretty..." It's even prettier than what she made.

The distance between each flower in Wen Mubai's wreath seems to have been calculated, and the stems and leaves are also tightly wound and neat. Compared with Xu Chacha's works full of "casual beauty".

Wen Mubai inserted the gardenia that Xu Chacha gave her just now into the wreath, and put it on her head, "It looks better this way."

Xu Chacha touched the wreath above her head, her eyes were bright.

Wen Mubai took out his phone, pointed the camera at her, "Smile."

Xu Chacha lined up her big white teeth very professionally, and even said a silly "yeah".

……

On the morning of the Lantern Festival, Xu's mother came to pick up Xu Chacha and took Wen Mubai with her back. Before leaving, the old man filled Xu Chacha's schoolbag and pockets with sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, and left her a number.

"Call grandpa when you have time, or come to play directly, grandpa is always there."

"Okay, I will call grandpa often." Xu Chacha patted his chest, "I promise to complete the task."

Wen Mubai originally wanted to leave the old man and go home directly, but the Xu family insisted on keeping her to play together, and even Xu's father said that he would provide her with board and lodging so that she could stay and relax.

Knowing that they were all well-intentioned, and this was one of the few rest times she could spare, Wen Mubai chose to stay in the end.

And she was lucky, because some guests canceled the accommodation during the previous rainstorm, and she could make up for it.

Xu's father kept his word, and directly paid for her three days' rent out of his pocket. Regardless of Wen Mubai's excuses, he picked up her suitcase, "Your father said, let uncle take good care of you, it's fine."

Wen Mubai was unfamiliar with his enthusiasm, he hesitated and said, "I'd better give you the room fee."

Xu's mother patted her on the shoulder from behind, "You're really sorry. Auntie asked your father for it later. There's no reason to come out and let the younger generation pay for it. Besides, you are our family's great benefactor."

Wen Mubai really didn't know what to say. She met Xu's father and Xu's mother a lot in the past, but they were still at the stage of exchanging business ideas. I don't know why they feel that their painting style is getting more and more strange recently, which made her Overwhelming.

She gave a puzzled look to Xu Yanshu who was silent behind her.

Xu Yanshu, who was forced to wear double ponytails, spread his hands and shrugged at her, telling her with his mouth: No matter what you look at, I am also a "victim".

After arranging Wen Mubai properly and setting a time to have dinner together, Xu's mother led Xu Chacha back to her room.

Xu Chacha wasn't here for the past two days, but she was so overwhelmed that she hugged the baby's face and kissed wildly as soon as she entered the door.

Xu Chacha's young heart was severely traumatized time and time again under the turbulent bobo attack. She even suspected that if she came back one day later, her parents would be able to drive a helicopter, just like Mary Su Wenli's bossy president Take her home straight away.

"Come here, dad, see if you've lost weight." Xu's father stepped forward to give Xu Chacha a familiar high.

Her body flew into the air, shaking jiojio weakly off the ground, "Dad, I only live at grandpa's house for one day, and grandpa treats me very well and eats very well."

Although she witnessed it with her own eyes, Wen Mubai almost blew up the kitchen.

"Father is afraid that you will not adapt to the environment."

Xu Chacha held back her eyes: Then I have nothing to say.

"If you're tired, do you want to take a nap, and I'll call you after dinner." Xu's mother always felt that the child seemed to have dark circles.

"Not tired, I slept well." Xu Chacha shook her head.

"That's right, go somewhere with Dad." Father Xu said.

"Where are you going?" Xu Chacha looked up at him.

Anyway, we're going out to visit the Lantern Festival at night, so we can't go somewhere together at that time.

"Take you to see an uncle."

"Oh, okay." Life is not easy, she has to go out and laugh again, right?

Mother Xu's expression was disbelieving when she heard what he said, and she said, "Aren't you childish?"

Xu's father avoided her death stare, not at all guilty, "I just take the child around before dinner."

Xu Chacha didn't understand the conversation between the two, but don't worry, she soon understood what Xu's mother meant by "childish".

She was held by Xu's father and walked back and forth near the elevator three or four times, during which she asked several times, "Dad, what are we doing here?"

Xu's father told her with a serious face, "We are taking a walk."

"Then why not go to the beach?"

"The air here is fresh." Father Xu didn't blush when he lied to the child.

Father Xu lowered his head, as if he had sent a message to someone, and the elevator descended from the eighth floor shortly afterwards.

Xu Chacha noticed that Xu's father was obviously very concerned about this elevator, and when the elevator was about to arrive, he picked her up from the ground.

"Ding——" The elevator door opened, and a man with a mobile phone came out.

"Old Xu, you sent me a text message saying something is wrong? What's the matter?"

Xu's father took a step forward with Xu Chacha in his arms, his flamboyant expression almost put Xu Chacha's face in front of his eyes to show off.

"Look, this is my youngest daughter Xu Chacha."

The man looked puzzled, "Ah, I see, what's the matter."

"Didn't you say you wanted to see her last time?"

"Yes... that's right." Isn't that a few polite words for casual greetings?

"Now you see it." Xu's father turned to Xu Chacha and said, "This is Uncle Yang, say hello."

Xu Chacha waved at him, showing a standard business grin, "Hello, Uncle Yang."

Lao Yang finally understood what this person meant.

It's not enough to get together with your brothers in private to show off your baby, but you also need to send a text message to ask him to come down and show off in person?

but……

"Is uncle coming to play too?"

"Uncle's beach shorts are so fashionable."

"Uncle, do you want to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake? Grandpa gave it to me. It's very delicious."

"..." No way, Lao Yang, you are a person with a daughter, how can you be attracted by the children outside, even if she has bright eyes and can talk, and her small mouth is sweet, it will be troublesome, but——

What does it matter if you eat an osmanthus cake, right?

Lao Yang stretched out his hand to take it, showing an old father's kind smile, "Thank you, Xiaochacha, my uncle's favorite food is sweet-scented osmanthus cake."

Father Xu: "Don't you have diabetes?"

……

At six o'clock in the evening, the group left for the lantern festival after dinner.

Xu's mother specially changed Xu Chacha into light clothes to allow her to move around more easily. The white shoes paired with a knee-length light blue dress looked cute and energetic.

Xu Chacha also brought her small schoolbag, but Wen Mubai picked it up as soon as she went out.

"Auntie will help you."

There are only two crossroads from the hotel to the place where the lantern festival will be held, and there are many people on the road who set out to go shopping with them. Even though it is half dark at this time, there are more pedestrians than during the day.

"Baby, come and hug you." Xu's mother was worried that Xu Chacha would be lost after walking behind.

Xu Chacha took Wen Mubai's hand and shook her head, "I won't lose it with Auntie, and I don't need to be hugged at such a big age."

As soon as she finished speaking, she pointed to a balloon shooting booth that was often seen in amusement parks, "Can Auntie accompany me to play that?"

Xu's mother pretended to follow, but Xu's father stopped him, "The child wants to play, so let's not follow."

Xu's mother thinks about it too, Wen Mubai's mood is probably rather depressed now, maybe he would be happier with Xu Chacha's company, but the presence of their elders makes the atmosphere restrained.

"Yan Shu, do you want to play too? Mom will give you some cash."

Xu Yanshu looked at Xu Chacha who was almost wagging his tail around Wen Mubai, pursed his lips, "I'm with you."

As long as she didn't see it, her sister's elbow was always facing her.

Xu Yanshu has already mastered the method of deceiving one's ears and stealing one's bell.

Wen Mubai hadn't played this kind of shooting game before, she was a little worried about repeating the mistakes of the claw machine, but seeing Xu Chacha's star eyes full of expectations, she relented and bought it.

"Three chances for ten dollars, first prize for hitting three red balloons, and so on."

Wen Mubai set up the dark green toy gun, stretched out his arms to draw out the beautiful curve of his forearm, his left eye half-closed and his right eye stared at the target, and he tapped his index finger lightly.

"Boom"

"Congratulations, you hit a red one in one shot, and you can get our first prize after two more shots."

Before he finished speaking, Wen Mubai shot twice more without blinking.

"Boom boom"

"Yeah! Isn't it the first prize, uncle!" Xu Chacha jumped up and applauded Wen Mubai, trotted to the side of the stall owner, and stared at him with her small head upturned and her dull eyes.

The stall owner's face was very ugly. Who would have thought that he would break even within half an hour of opening the stall today.

"Hahaha... yes, Miss Sister, your skills are really good." The toy gun has been tampered with, and the aim and shooting point are not on the same line. Who would have thought that this girl didn't even try and make mistakes, so she took it away for ten yuan.

"The first prize is Polaroid." He took down the box on the top shelf.

Because it was left for too long, the shell was a little dusty, so he wiped it off reluctantly, and handed it to Xu Chacha.

"Give it to you, kid."

Xu Chacha held the gift in both hands, "Thank you uncle! Uncle is so generous!"

Stall owner: Stop talking, uncle is going to cry!

……

Xu Chacha fiddled with the Polaroid, and found that she didn't seem to need it, so Wen Mubai took it.

"look up."

"Ah?" Xu Chacha followed her voice with a smirk on her face.

The flash clicked, and before she could close her eyes, the photo was already spit out from under the camera.

Wen Mubai pinched the photo and dropped it a few times, the bracelet on his wrist shook accordingly, "Okay."

She put the photo in Xu Chacha's hand, seeing that she was still in a daze, she pinched her cheek.

Wen Mubai's hands were always a little cold, Xu Chacha rubbed her fleshy cheeks, complaining that her face would be rounder, but when she saw the photo, she immediately smiled.

"nice!"

Maybe Wen Mubai just found the angle at random, but the light and shadow in the photo and the proportion of the person and the background are just right.

She happened to capture the moment when Xu Chacha turned her head. In the photo, she was staring at the camera, her hair still half in the air, half of her face was illuminated by the lantern hanging at the door of the barbecue stall behind her, her bright eyes and teeth were smiling brightly.

Wen Mubai flipped through the camera box that he hadn't lost yet, and it said.

[Record all the good things around you]

"Leave this photo to Auntie." She discussed with Xu Chacha.

"Then I'll take a picture of my aunt too, and keep it as a souvenir."

Xu Chacha took a picture like she did just now, then raised her arms and shook them wildly.

"Really." She held up the photo with both hands, compared it with Wen Mubai himself, and nodded, "Well, the real person looks better."

Xu Chacha carefully put the photo into the innermost compartment of her schoolbag and put it away, zipped up the three inner and outer layers, and turned the bag around to carry it in front of her.

"Let's go, auntie." Xu Chacha took her hand.

The sign of the Lantern Festival can be seen from far away. It is at the entrance of an alley in a commercial street. The alley is not narrow, and bright red dragon claws made of colorful lights rise from the ground on both sides. The effect is lifelike, and every dragon scale is exquisite. The patterns on it are vividly depicted.

The theme of the Lantern Festival is also very suitable for National Day. Lanterns of various styles hang from the entrance and extend forward, and you can't see the end even if you stand on tiptoe.

The two reunited with Xu's father and Xu's mother. After a light show, they never let go of the hand holding the camera. When Xu's mother went back to the hotel to tidy up at night, the album memory was directly added a G.

"What have I taken?" She flicked her phone to delete a few.

One row is a photo of Xu Chacha holding a lantern and smiling at the camera, the next row is a close-up of Xu Chacha's side face eating marshmallows, and continuing to scroll is another picture of Xu Chacha smiling and reaching out to the camera for a hug.

Ten photos, three landscapes, seven of which were taken by Xu Chacha.

How dare you delete the photos of your baby girl!

There is nothing wrong with the baby, what is wrong is the phone memory!

……

How happy Xu Chacha was in F Town, how sad he was when he returned home.

Xu Yanshu woke her up at six o'clock in the morning to make up her homework. She was more professional than the invigilator. She had already finished her homework, so she sat next to her with an extra-curricular book in her hand, and checked one after the other.

On the last night before the holiday, Xu Chacha looked like a walking dead.

The primary school students' homework is not difficult, but the volume is heavy, especially the copying is repeated three times and four times. She felt that her wrist was broken on the spot after writing.

Physical fatigue caused Xu Chacha to be mentally exhausted, and she went to bed an hour earlier than usual.

The neighbor next door was still watching Ultraman Tiga in front of the TV, and the good baby Xu Chacha was already lying on the bed ready to fall asleep.

"Ding--"

Hearing the notification tone, Xu Chacha suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed the phone and saw the message note, his back was no longer sore and his hands were no longer hurting, and even his eyes were brightened.

Aunt Kiss: Are you asleep?

She immediately went back to a no.

The message interface switched to a call, Xu Chacha took the answer and put the phone to his ear, "Auntie, are you done?"

She knew that Wen Mubai was also very busy these days, besides the group assignments at school, Lang Shu also urged her to hand in the first draft, so she didn't even dare to send any news these days, and only clocked in regularly every day to say good morning and good night.

"I'm done." Wen Mubai's voice didn't sound exhausted as imagined, but filled with familiar warmth, "By the way."

passing by?

Xu Chacha jumped up from the bed, walked to the balcony in Puji Puji slippers, and actually saw Wen Mubai downstairs just looking up at her.

"Auntie!" She tiptoed excitedly and shouted, "I'm coming down now."

"No need." Wen Mubai from downstairs smiled at her, and handed the box in his hand to Butler Zhang who opened the door, "Go to sleep, I have to get up early tomorrow."

Xu Chacha turned a deaf ear and shouted to the other end of the phone, "I'm coming down now, don't go."

She quickly ran downstairs and rushed to the entrance. Wen Mubai, who was wearing white short sleeves in her pocket, stood at the door, tilting her head and looking at her panting, "How many times have I said, don't be so frizzy, what if you fall?" .”

Xu Chacha hugged her tightly, wrapping her arms tightly around her thin waist, "I won't see you for a long time when you go back to school."

Wen Mubai rubbed her head, "Auntie comes back every two weeks to meet you, okay?"

She made another promise.

"Okay!" Xu Chacha raised her head, her crescent eyes were full of light.

"Go to sleep, I'll see the gift tomorrow, good night."

Xu Chacha was reluctantly bid farewell to Wen Mubai by Steward Zhang, "Then Auntie, be careful on the way back."

"I drove the car." Wen Mubai gestured to her for the car keys in his hand.

"Okay, drive slowly, don't run red lights, be sure to fasten your seat belt..."

Wen Mubai interrupted her with a smile, "Okay little ancestor, do you want to memorize the entire safety manual for me before going to bed?"

"Okay."

Xu Chacha was waiting for another hug, and watched Wen Mubai's slender figure disappear before turning around and entering the door.

She opened the box that Wen Mubai brought, one was the mille-feuille cake she liked to eat, and the other was a scroll of paintings wrapped in silk.

The little girl in the painting stretches out her hands behind her back, turns her head sideways, and smiles brighter than the sun. Unlike the sketch I drew last time, this painting has been carefully painted and colored with watercolors, and the treatment of each strand of light and shadow. All of them reflected Wen Mubai's intentions.

She was wearing a light green skirt, with white gardenias dotted around the waist and skirt. The skirt looked like it was made of gauze layer by layer. Every girl at this age would never refuse to have such a fairy skirt.

There are still her handwritten words on the lower right.
