Ms. Ding did not give the man a chance to react. She said, "You are so eager to be someone's son, why don't you call me mom?" Her voice was loud and powerful, which attracted many onlookers. Everyone leaned over to listen. They understood what had happened and cast their eyes on the man.
Some people who love to make noise also shouted, "Yes, call me mom and let me hear it!"
"Just shout it out!"
"A man should keep his word. Come on!"
People in this world love to join in the fun that has nothing to do with them, especially when someone stands up first and is able to stand in a safe position, they will not mind adding fuel to the fire.
"You!" The man got scared when there were so many people around, "It's inexplicable!"
Feeling guilty being watched by so many people, he made up an excuse and walked away through the crowd.
Ms. Ding shouted behind him, "Don't go, dear son! Mom is here!"
The crowd laughed and then dispersed.
Ms. Ding hugged Tang Zuo's shoulders and her expression immediately softened. "Don't be afraid! It's okay."
Tang Zuo looked at her face and felt a little sour in his nose for some reason. He pursed his lips and nodded.
She sniffed and said, "Thank you, Aunt Ding."
"Why are you here?" Ms. Ding rubbed her hair and smiled friendly.
In her movements and smile, one can see the shadow of Shi Ci. Tang Zhao smiled and said, "I'm here to tutor. What about you, Auntie?"
"Oh, I'm here for morning tea." Ms. Ding pulled her along, "And my husband and Shi Hai. They went in first to order."
Tang Zhao nodded. Before she could say she wanted to leave, Ms. Ding continued, "Come on, come on, go eat with your aunt."
Ms. Ding directly held her hand, her hands were soft, warm and very powerful.
It was a pair of warm mother's hands. Tang Zuo was a little dazed. "Drinking morning tea now?"
Ms. Ding pulled her and talked to her, "Actually, in Yangcheng, the elderly, the grandparents, come out early for morning tea. Young people go to bed late and get up late, so they come later. There is a good teahouse here. Your uncle Shi and I were going to go out for a date, but Shi Hai, the big light bulb, is so tactless! He even came along. I saw that Michelle went home and no one bothered him, so he started to act naughty..."
Ms. Ding was very enthusiastic and talked a lot. Tang Zhuo couldn't find a chance to interrupt and could only nod in response. She remembered that when her parents were around, she couldn't get a word in when they were talking. A warm feeling arose spontaneously, and Ms. Ding was
The person's talkativeness can catch up with her parents. Thinking of this, she smiled silently, dispelling some of the heaviness she had just felt.
Ms. Ding pulled her into the teahouse. As soon as they walked in, they were greeted by the warmth of food and people. Exquisite bamboo cages and white porcelain plates were interspersed on the large round tables. It was a great place to kill time.
"This is your Uncle Shi. You recognize Shi Hai." Ms. Ding said to Shi Bingcheng, "This is the child who used to tutor Shi Hai." She sat down and said, "This child is here to tutor. It's very cold outside. I asked her to come over to eat."
Shi Bingcheng was wearing trousers and a sweater, and a pair of glasses. He looked gentle and refined. He smiled warmly at Tang Zuo, "Hurry up and sit down."
Tang Zuo nervously called for help and caught a glimpse of Shi Hai from the corner of her eye. Shi Hai stared at her in a daze, moved his mouth, and scratched his head.
Tang Zuo called him first, and he scratched his head again, "Hey."
Tang Zhuo was worried that he would be embarrassed, so he said to Ms. Ding: "Auntie Ding, Uncle Shi, I don't want to disturb you..."
"Child, why are you disturbing me? Sit down quickly." Ms. Ding interrupted her with a smile. Tang Zuo had no way to refuse and had to sit down first.
Shi Hai looked at her and greeted her dryly, "Are you a tutor?"
"Yeah," Tang Zuo nodded.
The two of them fell silent.
Shi Hai said nothing, but just got her another set of bowls and chopsticks, boiled the ceramic cup and bowls and chopsticks with boiling water, and then poured her tea.
Tang Zuo said softly, to her right was Ms. Ding, two seats to her left was Shi Hai, and opposite her was Shi Bingcheng.
Ms. Ding introduced Shi Bingcheng and He Tangzhao to each other.
"Your Uncle Shi used to teach at Ruda University, and now he occasionally goes there to attend classes. Yes, he is from the same college as Shi Ci."
He also said to Shi Bingcheng: "Little Tang Zuo is studying English. He is a very well behaved boy with good grades and good looks!"
Shi Bingcheng laughed and asked Tang Zuo a few questions in a friendly manner.
This was Tang Zhuo's second time seeing Shi Bingcheng. She remembered that when Shi Ci sent Shi Hai home, she only caught a glimpse of him. She was more familiar with Ms. Ding and Shi Hai, but she was not familiar with Shi Bingcheng, Shi Ci's father.
Looking back, my first impression of Shi Ci's parents was when I heard the siblings complain in the car on Qingming Festival about their clingy relationship.
Shi Bingcheng is a famous economist. Tang Zuo has also heard of him, but this is the first time they have actually met. Mr. Shi is gentle and well-mannered, and seems to be quite quiet. Tang Zuo observes quietly. Ms. Ding is wearing a denim lambskin jacket, a pink sweater with brown leopard print underneath, jeans, and sneakers. She looks very young and energetic.
The two of them, one quiet and one active, should be complementary types.
Tang Zuo took a deep breath and couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
Ms. Ding introduced to Tang Zuo, "The standard set of Yangcheng morning tea is one pot of hot tea and two dim sums," and the waiter came over with a cart. On the cart were two large piles of bamboo steamers, emitting hot smoke. The waiter took the dim sum they ordered and placed it on the round table.
"We usually call anything meat-related 'steamed meat', like this black bean sauce chicken feet and tripe. 'Steamed in small steamers' are snacks steamed in smaller steamers, like shrimp dumplings and crab roe siu mai, these are..."
Ms. Ding said as she picked up a shrimp dumpling with clean chopsticks and handed it to Tang Zuo, "You're not allergic to seafood, are you?"
Tang Zhuo thanked him first, then shook his head and said, "No, I don't have any obvious allergies."
"Then eat a few more, try this golden tripe^, why is it called golden tripe, in fact, this is a traditional dish in our Guangzhou, it is actually one of the four stomachs of the cow, braised..."
"Mom!" Shi Hai took a bite of the hot barbecued pork bun and said impatiently, "Eat your food properly, don't be like Baidu Encyclopedia!"
Ms. Ding paused, glared at him, and continued to say to Tang Zuo: "Look at the barbecued pork buns that Shi Hai eats, and this piglet custard bun, they are steamed in a relatively large steamer, so it is called 'big steamer'. Come and try this custard bun!" Ms. Ding explained to Tang Zuo while picking up food for her to eat. Tang Zuo was a little embarrassed, "Auntie Ding, you eat..."
"Hehe, I've finished. There's a fourth thing, which is dessert. Old man, give me a piece of water chestnut cake." Ms. Ding turned and smiled at Shi Bingcheng. Before she could finish her words, Shi Bingcheng immediately picked up a piece of tea-yellow transparent cake and put it into Ms. Ding's bowl.
Ms. Ding smiled and said to him, "Don't be too picky!" After taking a bite, she said to Tang Zuo, "I like to eat this water chestnut cake the most. Xiaohai and his father like it too, but Shici is picky and won't eat anything sweet!"
Tang Zuo raised the corners of his lips slightly, it’s not that he didn’t want to eat.
The image of Shi Ci acting coquettishly to her flashed through my mind - I don’t like sweet things.
The smile on her lips suddenly froze. Oh no, Shi Ci was coming to pick her up. As soon as she took out her cell phone, Shi Ci's call popped up on the screen. She calmed down and looked at Ms. Ding.
Ms. Ding glanced at her cell phone and said with a smile, "A call?"
Tang Zhao nodded, "Uncle Shi, Aunt Ding, I'm going to answer the phone."
"Hey, go ahead." Ms. Ding waved her hand.
Shi Hai glanced at Tang Zuo's walking away figure, paused, then picked up the bun and took a bite. His expression frowned and he screamed, "It's hot, hot, hot..." He couldn't swallow it or spit it out, and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.
Ms. Ding said, "You are holding a quicksand bag! What are you thinking about?"
Shi Bingcheng pushed over a cup of slightly cold tea and said, "Fortunately, it has been steamed for a while..."
Shi Hai covered his mouth and swallowed it whole. He took another big sip of tea, but choked again because he drank too quickly. He patted his chest and said, "Cough, cough, cough..."
Ms. Ding and Mr. Shi: “…”
The hall of this teahouse was large and noisy. Tang Zuo was afraid that Shi Ci would have to wait for a long time, so he walked a few steps away and answered the call. Shi Ci's voice coughed and coughed, "Chirp, I'm almost there, are you ready?"
"Well, I only tutored for an hour today. The student had something urgent to do, so now I am..."
"Where are you? I can't hear you clearly..." Shi Ci said over there.
Tang Zhuo walked a few steps further and explained the tutoring details in detail. "I'm at the teahouse in the xx shopping mall." She couldn't think of a name for a moment, so she walked out and looked at the sign. "xx Teahouse."
"Oh, I really don't know this place. Let me check where it is later," Shi Ci asked, "Why did you go there?"
Tang Zhuo hesitated, "Actually... I met Aunt Ding. Why don't you not come? I'll go back by myself later."
Shi Ci was puzzled, "Why did I suddenly meet Ms. Ding?"
Tang Zuo didn't know what to say for a moment. He encountered that impolite harassment, that advertisement, and Zheng, and that night, and that woman...
"Hmm?" Shi Ci made a sound in confusion, and then said, "Wait, I'll take a detour..."
Tang Zhuo bit her lip, and after thinking it over again and again, she still didn't want to talk more at this time. She just called her, "Shi..."
"Xiao Tangzhuo, you haven't finished your call yet, the snacks are getting cold." Ms. Ding's voice sounded from behind.
Tang Zuo was startled and looked in the direction of the voice, "...Aunt Ding?" Why was she walking without making any sound
Ms. Ding smiled and blinked, "I just came out to use the restroom."
In the receiver, Shi Ci asked, "Is it my mother who is here?"
"Hmm..." Tang Zuo held up his phone, looked at Ms. Ding, swallowed, and hummed softly.
Ms. Ding had no intention of going to the bathroom. Her eyes were full of sly smiles. "Is that Shi Ci on the phone?"
Tang Zhao looked at Ms. Ding blankly and uttered an involuntary sound, "Hmm..."
"Jiujiu, give the phone to Ms. Ding. I'll talk to her."
"Come on, give me the phone and I'll talk to her." The mother and daughter said the same thing almost at the same time.
Tang Zuo: “…” I could only hand over the phone.
Ms. Ding took the phone and called out calmly, "Ms. Ding."
"Hey, my dear daughter. Little Tang Zuo is here with me."
The two were silent for two seconds.
Tang Zuo exhaled a little nervously.
"Where is the teahouse, Mommy?"
Ms. Ding smiled brightly, "Which road are you taking now... Oh, you took a detour, drive directly to this mall, the second floor, take the elevator on the east side, go straight to the back, turn a corner, and across from it is a Japanese restaurant called 'Yu Yue'. You'll know where it is when you see it."
"Okay, give the phone to..."
Ms. Ding interrupted with a smile, "Don't talk on the phone for too long while driving. Just come over quickly." Then she hung up the phone under Tang Zuo's expectant gaze.
Tang Zuo took the phone in a daze.
Ms. Ding pulled her over and left, "Xiao Tang, let's go back and eat..."
Tang Zhuo was dragged by her for a few steps before she realized, "Auntie Ding, aren't you going to the bathroom?"
"Oh. No."
Tang Zuo: “…”
