Time flows like water, and the lively time always goes by too fast. The precious spring break is coming to an end soon, and the black market in g city is gradually warming up.
Zhao Lanxiang's parents have already started work, but Xiaohuzi has not yet started school. However, Xiaohuzi did not want to go to his grandfather's house. After Zhao Lanxiang returned home from the army, Feng Lian had to hand over his son to her, and hurriedly said:
"I have class in the afternoon to go first, you look at the little tiger."
Zhao Lanxiang nodded.
Xiaohuzi hugged her sleeve, rubbed her and asked her, "Big girl, where have you been just now? You haven't finished drinking the soy milk."
Speaking of which, he stuck to the eldest sister like a candy cane, as if this way he could escape the catastrophe and not be sent to grandpa's house. Zhao Lanxiang pulled him down, dumbfounded, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want something delicious?"
Little Tiger nodded vigorously.
Zhao Lanxiang took Xiaohuzi to the hotel where He Songbai stayed.
This box of He Songbai opened the box, and the delicate gold and silver dial reflected a little streamer. In addition to Longines, these little guys also mixed with a few Omegas, as well as ordinary Sima and Tissot. Not many people go to department stores during the Spring Festival. In order not to attract attention, He Songbai not only buys Longines, but also not only watches.
City G is worthy of being a first-tier city in the south, and its economic development is far from a small place.
In addition, he also bought a silver chain worn by the woman, which was so delicate and weak in his hand that it seemed like it could be crushed with force.
Zhao Lanxiang and Xiaohuzi knocked on the door for a long time, and the door finally opened. He Songbai's hair was soaked with sweat, and stood silently wiping by the door.
"Why... brought him too?" He Songbai looked down at the child beside Zhao Lanxiang and asked in surprise.
Xiao Huzi saw this familiar brother, his eyes lit up, he raised his head and stared straight at him. But because the eldest sister was on the side, he only stared at people shyly.
"what's your name?"
He Songbai pinched the child's delicate face with his rough thumb, and closed the door with his other hand hooked on the object.
He Songbai squatted down and said lightly, "My name is brother-in-law, would you call me to hear it?"
Little Huzi still couldn't clearly understand what brother-in-law meant. He didn't realize that he had been taken advantage of, but instead called out dumbly.
Zhao Lanxiang couldn't help but look at He Songbai's bold and further behavior. Could it be that he saw her mother once, and his self-confidence was inflated
Zhao Lanxiang glared at He Songbai and corrected his younger brother in a persuasive manner: "His name is Brother Bai, you have to call him Brother Bai, not brother-in-law now."
"Brother Bo!" Little Huzi changed his words bluntly.
He Songbai took out the candy from his pocket and fed it to the children.
He tore off the candy wrapper and handed it over, and suddenly remembered that she had fed the candy to Sanya half a year ago. He Songbai had prepared a pocket of candy for Xiaohuzi long before he came to G city. The moment he saw Xiaohuzi, He Songbai finally understood what Aiwujiwu was. He looks a lot like his sister.
This made He Songbai want to empty his pockets to please the child. And Xiaohuzi is not afraid of life, he is as enthusiastic as his sister, lively and active, playing with him for an hour, the child can remember him for several days.
Xiao Huzi sucked the familiar smell, and quickly became acquainted with He Songbai. He rolled on He Songbai's bed, making noise everywhere.
Zhao Lanxiang looked at the tidy bed in the room, and at He Songbai's sweaty head, and asked him in a low voice, "Did you just come back this early in the morning?"
He Songbai nodded and took off his jacket. He went to the bathroom to get some water to wash his face, and by the way, he gave the child who was making a fuss on the bed.
He said vaguely, "Just went out to buy something."
"Why did you come to me all of a sudden?"
Zhao Lanxiang said, "I'm going back to the countryside tomorrow. I'm going to cook a delicious meal at home. Would you like to come to my house for dinner?"
He Songbai's movement of wiping his face was obviously stagnant for a moment, and he took a long time to say: "This... is not good?"
Zhao Lanxiang asked angrily: "What's wrong, don't you still owe me a book?"
"Didn't you think about this when you borrowed books? I don't believe it..."
He Songbai was obviously choked by her, and the mother-in-law told him that he couldn't say a word.
Zhao Lanxiang dug the child out of the bed, "Will you come, or are you afraid of my dad?"
He Songbai was indeed frightened, but his eyes fell on the well-placed book in the cabinet, and he took his eyes off the subject's face with difficulty.
He promised: "I'll be there on time in the afternoon, but don't buy groceries, I'll bring you when I go..."
Zhao Lan responded sweetly.
She took Xiaohuzi out of the hostel, and Xiaohuzi asked her, "Where is the delicious food?"
Zhao Lanxiang went to buy some fruit along the way. After the spring break, farmers grew more varieties of fruit. Zhao Lanxiang picked a few to buy one by one, including Sydney, orange, and hawthorn. When she saw the potatoes, she also picked up a few big ones as usual, and bought a small one. basket. She spent two catties of sugar tickets to buy sugar on the black market.
After returning home, Xiaohuzi carried a bench and sat at the door of the kitchen waiting for her sister to cook something delicious.
Zhao Lanxiang smiled and washed the fruit in a skillful manner. She put the sugar she bought into the pot and boiled it. There was still some temperature left in the coal stove. Zhao Lanxiang widened the air vent of the stove, and the coal was quickly roaring hot. Up, the flames licked the bottom of the pot little by little.
She wants to make candy balls for her younger brother to eat. This kind of snack can be stored for a long time in spring and winter. Xiaohuzi likes to eat this sweet and sour thing.
The sugar she bought was rock candy. Only the sugar syrup made from it can be crisp and not sticky to the teeth, sweet and fragrant. Boiling sugar syrup is the most test of skill. Zhao Lanxiang stared at the pot and boiled it until chopsticks could pull the syrup. The cooled syrup When it was crisp and hard, she stopped the fire, tucked the fruit with a toothpick and gently spun it against the sugar surface, and a thin layer of sugar syrup was covered with the fruit.
The smell of boiled sugar was in the air. Little Huzi propped his chin and watched as his sister twisted the beautiful sugar balls like a juggler. The bright and round sugar balls fell onto the cold water board. His saliva was drooling. It's already gone.
Zhao Lanxiang made a full board, and placed it neatly, almost unable to hold it. All the dishes in the house were taken out by Zhao Lanxiang to hold sugar balls. The sugar in the pot was almost used up, but there was still fruit left. She washed her hands and took a pear to chew on.
Little Huzi looked at the crystal clear candy balls that were hanging on the air. They were hot, and he stole one to eat. He could lick out the juice from the dried sugar ball, some of which were crisp and refreshing, and the warm heat made him narrow his eyes.
Zhao Lanxiang said: "Wait a while, it will be delicious after a while."
But Xiaohuzi couldn't wait any longer. The spring was cold, and the cold wind blowing outside the window made him shrink his neck, but he was eating the freshly baked sugar balls around the warm stove, and he just felt sweet in his heart.
Many years later, Xiaohuzi still deeply remembers the taste of his childhood, the sweet taste of candy balls, and each one contains the love of his sister.
