Chapter 157: Willow Head on the Moon
Wu Qiuping saw her daughter's face flushed after making a phone call last night.
After further questioning, I found out that Zhang An was going out to watch the lantern festival with his daughter tonight.
Not even a minute after Zhang An sat down, Su Ying walked out of the room.
Today's Su Ying has obviously spent a lot of time dressing up. She is already very handsome.
Now that I was dressed up, after Zhang An took a look, he seemed to be stunned and couldn't move his eyes away.
Su Ying at this moment was no less gentle and gentle than the last time Zhang An saw her at the school gate, which fascinated Zhang An.
It’s just that last time Zhang An didn’t have the nerve to look openly, but this time he didn’t move his eyes.
"What are you looking at, idiot."
Su Ying found that the big boy in front of her looked at her without blinking, and she couldn't help but let out a squeak.
"Ahem, cough, look at Teacher Su. How can you dress up so beautifully and not let others see you?"
After Zhang An was exposed, his face was slightly red, but that was all. You can look at the object however you want.
Seeing the two young people bickering, Su Shaowen and his wife just smiled and pretended not to notice.
“Oh, the Bodhisattva that Xiao An bought today is so big. We haven’t seen it in so many years.”
Wu Qiuping looked at the bag and was attracted by the Bodhisattva in the bag. The shepherd's head was shocked.
"How can this be a Bodhisattva? This is just a small apple."
Su Shaowen looked at the Bodhisattva in Wu Qiuping's hand and couldn't help but be stunned.
"I thought about buying it just because I saw it was so big. I have never seen such a big one." Zhang An was very satisfied with everyone's expressions when they saw the Bodhisattva.
Wu Qiuping washed the water chestnuts in the kitchen, then took them out and placed them on the table.
Zhang An picked up the fruit knife and started peeling a Bodhisattva.
A whole Bodhisattva, from Zhang An's first cut, the skin of the Bodhisattva has not been broken.
Until the water chestnut was peeled, Zhang An was still holding a long strip of water chestnut skin in his hand, and he finished it with one knife.
"Wow, Zhang An, you still have this ability, how come your hands are so clever."
Su Ying looked at Zhang An's hands that were so big, and was curious why they were so big. skillful.
After Zhang An peeled it, he handed it to Su Ying.
"That's not true. I am an expert at peeling apples."
Zhang An responded with a smile. After a while, a plate of white water chestnuts was peeled out. Su Ying could directly Take and eat.
“This Bodhisattva is so sweet, sweeter than apples.”
That’s for sure, Zhang An, this Bodhisattva, grew up in space.
Although peeling apples is not a sophisticated skill, it really made Su Ying’s parents nod.
The family ate some water chestnuts and felt very good.
However, although it is delicious, it is not advisable to eat too much.
Bodhisattva is cold in nature and is a raw and cold food, so it is not suitable for gluttony.
So after eating some, Wu Qiuping put it away.
"Xiao An, where did you buy this Bodhisattva? I will buy some when the time comes."
Wu Qiuping thought, if there are such big Bodhisattva, there can be more It’s not too shabby to buy some and give them to relatives and friends.
“Auntie, I was watching people picking and selling on the roadside. There wasn’t much left at that time, so I bought them all, not knowing where they were from.”
There was no way Zhang An could turn out to be a water chestnut seller out of thin air, just make it up.
"That's a pity. I don't know if I can sell it in the future."
Wu Qiuping felt a little pity when Zhang An said that someone else sold it.
"This is normal. Such a good Bodhisattva must not worry about selling."
On the other hand, Su Shaowen next to him thought it was nothing.
Seeing that it was already past four in the afternoon, Wu Qiuping started cooking in the kitchen.
Zhang An and Su Ying are going out in the evening, so they have to have dinner early.
Zhang An originally wanted to go into the kitchen and help Su's father kill fish and chicken, but Wu Qiuping refused to let him do anything this time.
As soon as he entered the kitchen, he was pushed out by Wu Qiuping.
"Xiao An, if you are bored, let Xiaoying take you downstairs for a walk."
We have to go out at night, so we have a lot of time.
Besides, we have to eat later, and we can’t go very far now.
So Zhang An didn’t say he was going out and talked to Su Ying in the living room.
"Yingying, please take Xiao An to the room to talk. This oil fume is too choking."
Last time at Zhang An's house, Wu Qiuping learned Wang Fang's signature spicy chicken.
I heard that Zhang An has always liked to eat, so Wu Qiuping prepared spicy chicken in the evening.
However, because the oil temperature was not controlled well, a pungent smell came into the kitchen, and even the range hood failed to remove the smell.
Su Ying also felt uncomfortable, so she took Zhang An to her room to talk.
Su Ying's room is very simple, without too much decoration or girlishness.
There are no cosmetics on a bed, a large wardrobe, or a dressing table. Instead, there are several bottles of cream and the like.
There is a large desk next to the window, with some famous works at home and abroad on it.
I thought there was a half-written lesson preparation book on the table.
Zhang An walked over and took a look. It was the lesson prepared by Su Ying for "From Baicao Garden to Sanwei Bookstore".
Su Ying's handwriting fits her appearance very well, clean, beautiful and somewhat gentle.
Today’s teachers have requirements for blackboard writing and handwriting.
Unlike later generations, many teachers in schools could not read the words they wrote.
After flipping through the textbook, Zhang An stopped reading.
Leaning up, he fell straight down.
The whole person was lying on Su Ying's show bed, and a refreshing smell hit her nostrils.
Zhang An smelled something familiar. This was the unique scent of Su Ying.
Zhang An couldn't help but shrugged his nose and smelled the smell of the quilt a few more times.
Seeing Zhang An lying on the bed and shrugging his nose, Su Ying blushed instantly.
He stretched out his slender hand and hit Zhang An first, but before he could hit him, his little hand was firmly grasped by Zhang An's big hand.
The two of them just held hands and talked about what was in their hearts, expressing their sincere feelings to each other.
There were two adults in the living room just now.
Neither of them found a topic to talk about, so they had some free time at the moment.
After whispering for a while, Zhang An found photos on Su Ying's bedside table.
Put it over and take a closer look. Although the photo is in black and white.
But it can still be seen that in this photo it is the young couple Su Shaowen and Wu Qiuping.
Su Ying looks like Wu Qiuping, Zhang An has noticed this before.
But after looking at the photos today, I realized that Su Ying looks exactly like Wu Qiuping when she was young.
And the two little girls inside, Zhang An knew at a glance that they were Su Ying and her sister Su Xuan.
After all, Su Ying is several years younger than her sister, so she is easy to recognize,
Su Ying was probably only seven or eight years old at that time. She was a very cute little girl with baby fat on her face.
That person doesn’t look like the same person now. He should be completely longer now.
“I didn’t expect you to be so cute when you were a child, haha.”
Zhang An said, reaching out to pinch Teacher Su’s face. It's a pity that the baby fat on Su Ying's face has long since disappeared.
Looking at Zhang An's smiling face intentionally or unintentionally, Su Ying snatched the photo frame from his hand.
“Don’t laugh anymore.”
As he posted the photo under the quilt, he stared at Zhang An with his eyes.
When the two of them were alone together, Su Ying was not as shy as she was in front of her family.
"Okay, okay, I won't laugh." Zhang An said he was not smiling, but he still laughed a little unscrupulously.
"Do you guys start school on March 1st?"
"Yeah, high school students will start school tomorrow. We junior high school students don't have to make up classes, so it will be until March 1st."
Two There was a fuss, and now it became quiet.
Zhang An lay on the bed, pillowing his head on the quilt, and talked quietly to Su Ying for a while.
"So you just came to school, are you used to it? Are the students in the class jumping around?"
"Well, I was not used to it at first, but then I slowly got used to it. I’m used to it, and the students in the class are okay. Although some students are disobedient, they won’t make trouble in class.”
Su Ying is not the class teacher, so she doesn’t have to worry about so many things, she just needs to take care of herself. Just Chinese lessons.
And she only leads two classes now, which is actually quite relaxing.
Today’s students are different from those of future generations, even those who don’t like studying.
I will also respect every teacher in the classroom.
Unless a teacher is very biased and sees people through cracks in the door, he will generally not get the respect of his students.
"That's good. I'm worried that with your temperament, you will be bullied by students at school."
Su Ying is good at everything, but she is too weak-tempered and speaks in a gentle voice. of.
"How can you say it is so exaggerated? These children are very sensible. After class, they even took the initiative to carry their homework books back to the office for me."
Zhang An thinks about it too, just now The students in junior high school are not that big either.
Seeing a teacher like Su Ying, who speaks softly and softly, she must be competing for performance.
"Yingying, Xiaoan, it's time to eat."
While talking, Wu Qiuping knocked on the door.
Zhang An didn’t intend to do anything, and he didn’t even close the door.
Wu Qiuping looked at the two of them like this, and felt even more satisfied with Zhang An.
"Wow, Auntie, you've cooked too much, I'm sure you won't be able to finish it all."
Zhang An looked at the full plate of dishes, and it was obvious that Wu Qiuping and his wife had put a lot of thought and effort into it.
"There are only a few dishes here. Try to see if they suit your taste. Don't be polite."
Wu Qiuping said and handed a pair of chopsticks to Zhang An's hand.
“Well, the spicy chicken made by auntie has glutinous skin and crispy meat. It’s soft, glutinous and smooth. Even the chefs outside can’t match it.”
Zhang An put a piece of chicken in He chewed it in his mouth.
“It’s not that exaggerated. Your mother taught me this, and your local chicken must be delicious.”
Wu Qiuping was coaxed away by Zhang An’s few words. Happy.
The family had dinner lively.
Wu Qiuping kept picking up food for Zhang An. Zhang An didn't take a few bites of the rice, and his bowl was piled high.
And Zhang An was not polite. Anyway, he had a big appetite. He could eat a small bowl in one meal at home, and he almost caught up with Xiaohu. Where did he go?
Seeing Zhang An eating so deliciously, Wu Qiuping became even more satisfied. The smile on her face never disappeared since Zhang An entered the door.
After eating and finishing eating, it was almost five or six o'clock, and it started to get dark.
Zhang An and Su Ying were also planning to go out. They had agreed to go to the square, so naturally they wanted to watch the excitement.
Before leaving, Wu Qiuping saw that what Zhang An was wearing was a little thin, so she gave Zhang An a new coat to wear.
This should be Su Shaowen's new clothes. Zhang An doesn't feel like the material is bought outside.
Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and God is very generous this year.
The sun was shining all day long, although the sunlight seemed to have little warmth.
At night, there is a round moon hanging in the sky. Although the temperature is lower, the atmosphere is good.
With Zhang An's current physique, he won't feel too cold even if it snows.
But again, it’s not whether it’s cold or not, it’s your mother who thinks you’re cold, so you’re cold.
Wu Qiuping, the future mother-in-law, is also half a mother.
The two went downstairs and walked out of the community. The street lights on the roadside in the county town had begun to light up.
Zhang Andu hadn’t seen a glowing street lamp for a long time, and he felt nostalgic for it.
Although it is night now, there are many people on the roadside.
The local characteristics are like this. At seven or eight o'clock in the evening, the nightlife has just begun.
Every shop on the street is open with lights on, and there are also many vendors.
People’s Park Square is not far from Su Ying’s home, just over one kilometer.
The two of them wanted to walk more together, so they didn't plan to take a car.
On the roadside, there are Dingding candies for sale, and there are also Waner cakes for sale on the side.
There were also fried and sold sesame balls at the stop.
The two of them had just eaten, and they didn’t want to buy it now because they couldn’t eat it.
After leaving the door, Zhang An naturally held Su Ying's hand.
Although there are some places on this section of the road that cannot be illuminated by street lights.
But under the bright moonlight, there is a scene of people meeting on the willow branches on the moon after dusk.
Coming to the square, the show on the stage has begun.
Under the stage, there are people standing inside and outside.
Those who came early brought their own small benches and sat under the stage, which made it comfortable to watch.
Those who come late can only stand at the back.
Both Zhang An and Su Ying were relatively tall, so they found a place with relatively few people to stand and watch the performance.
Most of the current programs are singing and dancing.
Many of the performances are performed by one person, while the dancing is performed by members of the county's cultural troupe.
However, it can be seen that although the county is small and remote, everyone is still quite fashionable.
For example, there is a young man on the stage right now singing "Love", the popular song of Little Tigers last year.
The following programs are also some fashionable pop music.
The two watched for a while, and Su Ying lost interest.
The main reason is that there were too many people. They came too late and did not squeeze to the front. It is not interesting to stand all the time.
Seeing this, Zhang An took Su Ying out of the crowd.
Started to wander around the square. Now there were many people setting up stalls on the roadside of the square.
There is an old man on the roadside making marshmallows on his bicycle.
Zhang An walked over and bought two and handed one to Su Ying.
Su Ying caught it with a blush, because most of the people buying marshmallows around here were children.
Not many adults have bought it yet and eaten it themselves.
But Zhang Anke didn't care about this. When he was young, he never had such an opportunity.
