smouldering

Unexpectedly, Tang Weiran lived a wild year without being with his parents.For the first time, she abandoned all the rituals that were supposed to follow the rules, and played fireworks with Le An on the lawn until late at night before slowly pacing home.

She fell asleep happily until ten o'clock in the morning, and was woken up by a call from her mother.Thinking about it, it was time to go home after two days of procrastination. It just so happened that Le An said that he had something to go out, Tang Weiran felt relieved of the psychological burden, and the two went out to take the subway together.

On the morning of the second day of junior high school, the cold wind was howling outside, and most people hid at home to avoid the cold, so as not to be blown by the wind and make their brains ache.Under Le An's instruction, Tang Weiran put on a windproof hat, hugged his body with both hands, and walked hard against the cold wind. He looked pitiful, but he was talking to Le An in high spirits.

They didn't know how to talk about Dong Yiqiu. They said that Dong Yiqiu seemed to be talking with a little girl the night after zero o'clock, which seemed a little new.

Listening to her with a slight smile, Le An felt a softness in his heart, worried that her mouth would be cold if she kept opening her mouth, and couldn't bear to interrupt her.

After arriving at the entrance gate of the subway station, Le An stopped in her tracks. Tang Weiran was taken aback when she saw this. Fortunately, she hadn't entered the gate yet, so she backed out and asked strangely, "Don't you take the subway?"

Le An shook his head: "My friend's shop is quite close, just walk over."

What I just said was only halfway through, and Tang Weiran still couldn't finish it, she pouted, "Okay...then, I may stay at home for a few days and come back, you..."

She originally wanted to say some clichés to delay the time, for example, you have to eat on time, don’t be too lazy to cook alone, or remember to feed the Robusta, although it is cold, Robusta has to go out for a walk every day Ah, wait.

But as soon as the word you came out of his mouth, Tang Weiran couldn't help laughing at himself.What is she thinking?Le'an's life is much more self-disciplined than his own life, and Robusta has been raised with Le'an for so long to be black and strong. Can Le'an, a real mother, be inferior to her, a fake?

She felt a little bit of reluctance in her heart, maybe because she lived so comfortably in Le'an's house during this period, she didn't want to leave at all.

Le'an wouldn't know her mood, she just raised her eyebrows and asked, "Huh? What's the matter?"

Tang Weiran shook her head, "It's okay, then I'll go first." After thinking about it, she added: "You go home early, it's too late and it's not safe."

After she finished speaking, she hurried through the gate and got off the elevator with her head buried.She thought, without her at home, Le'an really must pay attention to safety alone. There is nothing wrong with her instruction, and the tone just now should be very natural.

Le An scratched his head on the spot, a little confused.

Seeing Tang Weiran's head wearing her own hat gradually disappearing on the elevator floor, she turned around and exited the subway entrance to go home.Today she lied to Tang Weiran again, some friend's store asked her to go to play, it was just an excuse to walk with Tang Weiran for a while, no non-chain niche store would be willing On the morning of the [-]nd, the door was opened to welcome guests.

One lie always needs another lie, and Le An doesn't know when he will be the first to tell a lie.

Back home, it really is not as good as renting a place outside. Even though he was extremely prepared, Tang Weiran still felt upset.

Her mother is an unstoppable laborer. She always has work in her eyes. She seems to be used to it. She feels uncomfortable when she doesn’t do something. She just sits in front of the TV for a while and doesn’t finish knocking a bottle of melon seeds. She was about to get up and go to the kitchen, or to patrol the study.

Not only that, but she would also blame Tang Weiran for being lazy like a pig, saying that she, like her father, only knows how to play when she is not yet at the age of enjoying happiness.At this time, Tang Weiran's father can still grow firmly on the sofa like a stone pier, but Tang Weiran's ears can't bear it, and neither can his heart.

She knew that if she didn't get the job done, her dad wouldn't be able to do it, and it would all fall to her mom in the end.

So Tang Weiran started doing housework as soon as he got home before his butt was warmed up.After one morning, she cleaned up her own room, which hadn't been lived in for a long time, and swept the whole house.Probably because there were a lot of guests on the first day of the new year, and she didn't like to change house slippers. The ground was dirty and black, and she dragged it for a long time with great effort.

During this period, her father did physical exercises, besides swallowing tea with his throat, he lifted his feet when she passed the coffee table.

After not coming back for a long time, she realized that the bathroom was a bit small, and she needed to bend over to clean the mop.

Her mother was able to rest and asked her from behind: "Shall I go out for dinner tomorrow? Dress up nicely."

Tang Weiran immediately grasped her deep intentions, and the alarm sounded immediately. She took a deep breath, "Do you think that asking me like this is asking for my opinion?"

"Are you still not happy? What do you mean by making such a face? You have married a good man earlier, and I still worry about it?"

Tang Weiran's head started to swell again, "Mom, why do you insist on my blind date? Can you recommend one more person to get eggs or kickbacks?"

Sure enough, her mother's rhetoric is still the same old one she is familiar with: "What are you talking about! Your father and I are only one child of you, can I rest assured that you don't find someone? You want your mother to die so you can't close your eyes Yes or no?"

Tang Weiran frowned when he heard the harsh words, "Mom, can you not say these words when you are in the Chinese New Year? It's really unpleasant."

"I want to say it! I won't say it when you become sensible."

Tang Weiran muttered in a low voice, "To be sensible is to be someone's cow or horse for a lifetime, and I would rather not have it."

She whispered again, but the volume still drifted into her mother's ears in the natural reverberation environment of the bathroom. Her mother broke the jar for a moment, "Gan Yiming won't let you work, right? If you really like Gan Yiming, After so many years, I don’t bother to object, so why don’t you implement it? No matter how I see it, you are not in a hurry, you are all grown-ups, do you know that it is dangerous for older women to give birth?”

"mom!"

"If you don't solve your personal problems this year, don't call me mom."

Tang Weiran closed his eyes and was speechless.

Tired from playing last night, I got up early in the morning and didn't have time to rest. After dinner, Tang Weiran went to take a nap, but unexpectedly fell asleep and fell asleep until nearly five o'clock.Fortunately, her mother would not break into her room at will, she probably only thought that she was working and studying in it, and if she knew that Tang Weiran was sleeping like a blind, she would talk about her again.

She was still nestled in the soft and warm blanket, unwilling to get up, lazily took out her mobile phone, clicked on WeChat Moments and browsed for a round, and her heart was still empty. When she returned to the chat interface, she saw Robusta's dark profile picture , she realized that something was wrong.

I slept all afternoon and didn't care about the world, Le An didn't know what he was doing.

Already home?Or are you still playing in a friend's store?

After deliberating for a while, she opened the keyboard and typed a line to send to R: "Has Le Yi finished talking about work? Has he come back?"

R: "No."

R: "Look for him for something?"

Le Yi hasn't come back yet, so once she leaves, Le An will really have to stay at home alone for the Chinese New Year.Tang Weiran thought for a while, and then sent another message: "What are you doing?"

R: "Dinning with friends."

Tang Weiran didn't want to close the window, so he forced to find a topic: "What are you eating? Show me?"

She turned over, typed on the pillow and sent another message: "I'm so miserable, it's noon on the second day of junior high school, and I still have to eat the leftovers from my family's New Year's Eve."

There was no news from Le'an for a long time, Tang Weiran stared at the screen for a while, then fell back on the bed bored.

The phone vibrated twice, Tang Weiran immediately got up and opened it to look, but it was not from Le'an, but from Xiaoying.

Xiaoying: "Miss Ranran! After you let me post the anti-plagiarism post, no Iris fans dare to clamor anymore. There are still many righteous passers-by to help speak out. You are the great prophet Bar!"

She also sent a little pig blowing a big love bubble, so cute and chubby.

Hey, Le'an and Xiaoying are about the same age, why does Le'an never use such a cute expression when chatting, obviously he is not such a rigid person in life.

Tang Weiran also replied with a love emoji: "That's good. Does Manager Meng have any reply?"

Xiaoying: "Not yet, if there is, I will tell you right away!"

Tang Weiran laughed: "Don't worry, let's celebrate the new year first. How was your date yesterday? How is the progress?"

Xiaoying covered her face and sent a shy face: "Oh, I just had a meal."

Tang Weiran sent a sentence: "I am optimistic about you!" and ended the conversation.

She clicked on the dialog box with R, but there was still no news.

Asking questions, and not disappearing completely after returning home, does Le An think he is annoying?

What Tang Weiran didn't know was that Le'an on the other end grabbed her coat and rushed out of the community. "[-]" is a suburban area, and there are almost no restaurants open on the second day of the junior high school. She waited for a long time in the cold wind before finally looking forward to it. A taxi drove non-stop to the commercial street in Shizhong District, didn't even bother to look at the signboard, and went straight to the nearest restaurant to the drop-off point, in such a hurry that it even scared the waiter at the door jumped.

The waiter was still in shock and still insisted on professional ethics: "...Welcome! Happy New Year, miss, how many people?"

Le An panted heavily: "One, one..."

The professional waiter opened her business with a smile on her chest, and led her to a quiet and undisturbed booth, "Hello, this is warm water, please rest for a while, and I will bring you the menu."

Le An hurriedly grabbed her wrist, "No, no need, just order a set meal for two."

The waiter stood still, and warmly reminded: "Miss, the meal size for two people in our restaurant is a bit big."

Le An shook his head: "I can finish eating, please serve the food quickly, thank you!"

"...Okay, you take a break."

The waiter looked calm and natural, but he quickened his pace, thinking that he might be reincarnated from a hungry ghost if he was so anxious.
