The old professor was probably a bit old-fashioned. Even after hearing Ding Sha's explanation, he still had a stern face and kept saying, "A half-grown child should study..."
The old professor walked further and further away with his hands behind his back, facing the afterglow of the setting sun. Ding Sha looked at his back. Although he was scolded, he knew that he had good intentions.
The wooden plaque custom-made from Uncle Wei arrived quickly. Xiao Jun borrowed a ladder from the shop next door and hung it himself, while Ding Sha stood on the street to direct him.
Sometimes it is high, sometimes it is low.
Xiao Jun glanced at the slope under her feet, said nothing, and listened quietly to her instructions.
After waiting for a long time for the plaque to be hung up, Xiao Jun was just cleaning up when Ding Sha set his eyes on the small oranges being sold on a tricycle across the street.
She looked at the oranges and then at Xiao Jun, and suddenly smiled and said, "Stand here and don't move. I'll go buy you a few kilograms of oranges."
After saying that, he laughed so hard that he fell over and went to buy oranges.
Xiao Jun, who had not been to school much, didn't understand the joke. He looked at Ding Sha's delighted back with a puzzled look on his face.
A guy passing by came up to him and said, "Hey, bro, your wife is playing a joke on you!"
He put his arm around Xiao Jun's shoulders and told him the story behind this joke, "She wants to be your dad, hahahaha!"
The boy laughed and teased him.
Xiao Jun was stunned for a moment, and a hint of smile appeared in his eyes.
When Ding Sha came back after buying oranges, she saw Xiao Jun looking at her with a half-smile on his face.
Ding Sha felt a little guilty. She thought Xiao Jun probably didn't know about this, so she pretended nothing had happened and pushed him back to the house. "Come on, let's go eat some oranges. I just tried one! It's super sweet!"
Xiao Jun walked back following her strength, not forgetting to protect her when going down the stairs. When they reached the small yard at the back, Xiao Jun turned around and tapped her chin.
"Shasha wants to be my dad?"
Ding Sha almost choked on his own saliva.
“You… you know, I… I was just joking…” Ding Sha’s eyes darted around, feeling embarrassed and guilty.
"I don't mind," Xiao Jun was very strong and picked her up like a child, "You can be anything to me, as long as you are by my side."
Ding Sha was somewhat moved by these words. She sat in Xiao Jun's arms and touched his cheeks which had gained some flesh in the past few days. "I won't leave."
At least I won't abandon you.
Ding Sha thought silently.
"I bought some wood from Uncle Wei. Can I build a swing for you in the yard?" Xiao Jun carried her under the tree. "Right here."
"How about making it like a rattan chair with a backrest?"
Ding Sha's eyes lit up, "Really?"
"Then I'll start tomorrow." Xiao Jun knew that she liked it.
Xiao Jun carried her to the wall next to him and said, "Then let me plant some flowers for you here. Plant all kinds of flowers here. They will be very beautiful when they bloom."
"Let's plant grapes here, right? Build a row of racks, and when the vines grow up, it will become a small pavilion."
"Use half of this to grow vegetables. Plant some tomatoes and greens that you like. Plant some peas. When the time comes, I'll pick the tenderest peas and cook sour noodle soup for you, okay?"
Xiao Jun took her to walk through every corner of the courtyard, patiently and carefully telling her the arrangements and plans for every inch. Ding Sha couldn't help but follow Xiao Jun's words and began to fantasize about their future life.
Maybe when the baby gets older, he will fall asleep in the swing because he wants to stay cool
Maybe the baby will roll around in the mud just because he wants to play when he just learns to walk
I don’t know who will play the good guy and who will play the bad guy between her and Xiao Jun
Ding Sha couldn't help but think about these trivial details of happiness.
Xiao Jun knew that she liked it, so he smiled and put her on the recliner, then sat beside her and peeled oranges for her.
If you peel oranges too much, the tips of your fingers will always turn yellow, which Dingsha doesn't like.
The shop opened quickly and quietly.
On an ordinary morning, the tightly closed door of the shop suddenly opened.
The young boss moved a few tables to the front of the store, and then placed two large steamers over.
There was a small stove burning brightly at the door, with a cooking pot on top of it. The irresistible savory aroma aroused the greed of passers-by in the morning when their appetites had not yet been aroused.
The steamer was opened a little, revealing a steaming, white and plump bun, each as big as an adult's palm, and one could almost smell the aroma of the filling inside.
On the other side, there was a big pot bubbling with the fragrant century egg and lean meat porridge, which was thick and soft.
The pretty proprietress was sitting behind the steamer, smiling at the people passing by, as if asking if they would like to have breakfast.
Wang Dong is a student at the city’s junior high school. He usually eats at home, but recently he doesn’t know what happened. His parents quarrel every day, and he can’t even have breakfast at home.
His mother gave him money and asked him to solve the problem himself. Wang Dong looked at the breakfast shops of all sizes with some hesitation, not knowing what to do.
Otherwise, you can just buy some bread from the school supermarket.
Wang Dong was thinking this as he walked when a rich fragrance captured his senses.
The stomach that had just said it wasn't hungry suddenly woke up instantly, clamoring for hunger in a very noticeable way.
Wang Dong looked up and saw the store. Is it newly opened? I have never seen it before...
With such doubts in mind, he still walked over.
Ding Sha stood up when she saw the well-behaved boy in school uniform approaching her. "What do you want to eat, kid?"
"This is our first day of business. For now, we only have steamed buns, tea eggs, and preserved egg and lean meat porridge."
Wang Dong then saw the proprietress who was as gentle and beautiful as a fairy. He was amazed for a moment and then asked, "Sister, what kind of fillings do you have for the buns?"
"There are two kinds: pork and cabbage, leek and egg, and porridge and tea eggs, all for two yuan each."
She even opened the steamer to show Wang Dong the appearance of the buns. Wang Dong hesitated for a moment and said, "Sister, I want two meat buns and one vegetarian bun, a tea egg and a bowl of porridge."
"Okay, you sit down first, and the food will be brought to you right away." Ding Sha took the money and immediately called Xiao Jun to serve the porridge.
She put three buns in a plastic bag and picked a larger egg to put in it. At this time, Xiao Jun also came back with a cup of porridge.
Ding Sha gave him everything and said, "If you're not in a hurry, you can sit at this small table and eat."
Wang Dong was indeed not in a hurry. He sat on a small stool and took a bite of the bun. His eyes widened instantly.
There is soup in this bun!
Although it was a little hot, he still subconsciously took a sip of the soup. The rich and delicious taste of oil made Wang Dong impatiently take another big bite of the bun.
So delicious!
He finished two meat buns almost instantly, and then took a bite of the vegetarian bun with an expectant expression.
Not inferior to meat at all!
It’s savory and salty, wrapped in big golden eggs, and tastes particularly satisfying.
Wang Dong couldn't help but eat faster. Whether it was tea eggs or lean meat porridge, each one was more delicious than the other.
Finally, he touched his bloated stomach and felt a little worried. It was the first time he ate too much in the morning...
Ding Sha gave him some candy and tissues, "How's it going, kid? Is the food okay?"
"It's so delicious!" Wang Dong said excitedly, "Sister, do you sell lunch at noon? If you do, I'll come over at noon too!"
Ding Sha was a little surprised. She was not prepared to place an order at noon on the first day.
But she still smiled.
"Of course I will sell it. Just come over when the time comes!"
Author's side note: I wonder if you have ever eaten too much in the morning hhh
When I was in middle school, my highest record was eating 25 buns in one meal, which scared my mom...
(There will be another update in the afternoon~)
