cool autumn

Er Bao's recent days are quite happy.As soon as Zhou Huaning came back this year, it immediately chose another good nest, abandoned Zhou Ran and ran to Zhou Huaning's arms, so it followed her pace every day, walking around the old residential area day and night, looking for suitable furniture and all kinds of furniture. Decorative items, but Zhou Huaning was too busy, it was basically impossible to focus on Erbao as before, so his three meals a day were handed over to Tao Siyue to take care of.

This little girl has been alone since she was a child, and her parents at home also disliked her a lot. It is a surprise to her that this second treasure can be entrusted to her now.And Erbao's habitual love of rolling and begging for food made her even more fond of it. Taking advantage of these days, one person and one cat get along well.

Zhou Huaning basically lived in the old residential area these days, leaving Zhou Ran at home alone, the two of them were busy with their own affairs, and even took care of three meals a day.And Zhou Ran just ate those jams in the space as meals, soaked in honey water when he was thirsty, ate fruit and ate jams when he was hungry, and made several different flavors for every meal. This is how he usually eats It's okay, but after a week, Zhou Ran couldn't resist anymore.

That day, Zhou Ranlin was carrying a computer bag and was going to find Zhou Huaning. Before he walked in, he saw Erbao sitting in the arms of Si Yue, squinting his cat's eyes, and lazily gave his belly to him. It was opened wide, let Siyue help to scratch it, curled its tail into a ball and shook it leisurely a few times, and occasionally stretched its tail playfully to touch Siyue's face, the furry touch made Siyue's nose itch Sneezing, he couldn't help but smiled and grabbed Erbao's cat's neck, and laughed with it with crooked eyebrows and eyes.

Si Yue's facial features are really ordinary, except for the pair of eyes, there are almost no catchy features, and she is usually silent, which makes her even more dull and boring.The carefree child smiling in front of her, even though she doesn't have eye-catching eyebrows, has the purest heart and the purest smile.Zhou Ran stared at it for a long time, then narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

The renovation and decoration of the old residential area was completed soon, and even the auspicious day of opening was set, and Zhou Ran's moving schedule was also put on the agenda.

When moving to the old residential area, Li Mingliang took a day off and came with Chen Haiqing to help move things.Although Chen Haiqing said that his culinary skills are really bad, he can be regarded as the top leader in packing things and doing housework. With her help, Zhou Ran and Zhou Huaning saved a lot of effort.

In fact, to be honest, there were not as many things as imagined. Many things were thrown away by Zhou Ran. His idea was very intuitive. Even if the useless things were thrown away, it would not be troublesome to move them around.

The decoration of the new house is very good. The bedroom on the north side of the second floor and the small study room in the next room have also been opened up. This was originally a small room that was deliberately isolated, but now it is integrated into a set.

Zhou Huaning got along very well with Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu from the next door. They talked and laughed in harmony these days, and they were also very caring for little Tao Siyue.

She likes this little girl who is well-behaved and docile although she can't speak, and she sympathizes with her life experience very much, and she has no pity.When I usually go out, I never forget to bring back some interesting toys or beautiful new clothes for her.Occasionally, when she is free, she will take her to the barber shop to cut her hair, and buy some exquisite hair accessories to give her a new look.In fact, in the final analysis, every woman has a princess dream. After her dream is shattered, she always hopes to continue this dream. The best continuator is her own daughter.But Zhou Huaning has only one child, Zhou Ran, so to a large extent, Siyue indirectly fulfilled one of her little wishes.

Zhou Huaning was downstairs preparing for the opening of the business, while Zhou Ran strolled around with Er Bao in his arms.The place I often go to is of course Grandpa Xu's house next door. The old man likes to play chess, but his chess skills are really not good. That's right, once Zhou Ran generals his army, he has to point to the vague past. If you want to play a rogue, you will throw your face and mess up this game.

Zhou Ran was speechless about this, and every time he looked at the stone table full of chess pieces, and the old man on the opposite side looked at the weeds next to him, as if he was studying a work of art. Those on the table have nothing to do with him.But if Zhou Ran refuses to play chess with him next time, he might as well hold a chessboard and move it to Zhou Ran's room, begging for nothing to play chess with him. He can play as soon as he plays, Zhou Ran doesn't blame him for regretting chess, but this person must have self-knowledge, such a bad chess skill is really the only one he has ever seen in his life, Zhou Ran said he knelt down.

Xu Sizhu from the neighbor's house has been staying at home during this time, and he is an ordinary soldier, so his vacation time must be too long.Until Zhou Ran accidentally saw the tender scar on his chest, the long and hideous surgical scar, Zhou Ran could clearly see the wound, which was only one centimeter away from the left heart. How dangerous.

At that time, he just glanced at it, and asked, seemingly indifferent, what happened? Xu Sizhu looked at the wound, but smiled and laughed, and vaguely replied that he was injured when he set out for the mission.What he didn't say was that his wound was actually left when he rescued his comrade-in-arms. Although in the end the bullet finally penetrated his body and flew into the body of his comrade-in-arms, the two of them survived and could live together again. Fighting side by side is already his greatest luck.

Zhou Ran didn't ask any more questions, and walked out the door with Erbao in his arms. Although he didn't say much about it, he turned around and never forgot to ask Siyue to bring a glass of honey water for him every time he made honey water. past.

The shadow of time dragged its long tail. Xu Sizhu's injury recovered very well under Zhou Ran's calmness. He was going to return to the team immediately after he recovered from his injury, but during this period of recovery, he was completely overwhelmed by Zhou Huaning. Her handicrafts have been tamed, especially the cakes she made, they are so delicious that they make you want to swallow your tongue.He boasted a lot among his comrades-in-arms, and he was waiting for the pastry shop to pack a few large portions for them to taste on the day the pastry shop opened, to taste and taste whether it was exaggerating the facts.

The name of the pastry shop is 'Ningzi Pastry Shop', which was decided by Zhou Ran.Originally, Zhou Huaning thought about naming it after Zhou Ran, or calling it "Zhou Ji Bakery", but Zhou Ran thought more deeply than her. He knew Zhou Huaping and Zhou Huacheng's temperament too well. Masters who don't take advantage enough, as long as they put a word of Zhou on them, they will have their own way to hook up with themselves smoothly.It just so happened that Grandma Xu from the courtyard next door came to find Zhou Huaning, and she called it 'Ningzi, Ningzi'. Zhou Ran didn't even think about it, and decided directly that the shop should be called 'Ningzi Pastry Shop. 'This is also the origin of the name of the shop.

A lot of people came on the opening day, Su Yao led his wife and two babies to join in the show, Chen Haiqing also did some odd jobs during this time, bought a beautiful hanging picture with Li Mingliang and hung it in Baibai For the painting on the wall, they went to the store to pre-calculate for this painting, and thought it was just right here, so they each raised funds and worked together to buy the painting as an opening gift.

There are many people in the store, including acquaintances and nearby residents. In April, I became a salesperson spontaneously and consciously, helping to pack things and deliver gifts.She has been smiling a lot recently, Zhou Huaning's gentleness and kindness, and Zhou Ran's gentleness and easy-going, made her feel that these days are the happiest time she has ever lived.

On the second day of opening, Xu Sizhu packed up his parcels and returned to the army with a few large portions of various pastries that Zhou Huaning specially left for him.He stayed outside for too long, far past his sick leave date, and if he didn't go back, his captain would cut him off.However, before leaving, he specially asked Zhou Huaning to make a few small jars of pickles, saying that the pickles she made were particularly delicious and tasted like home, so he also wanted to bring some to his comrades to try.

The food in the army is good, but it can’t compare to these women with real skills. They are special troops who have to go on missions all year round. The number of times they can go home throughout the year can be counted with one palm. They are always ready to go on missions .

A warrior is also a human being, he is not made of steel or iron.After a long time, I also miss home.

When Xu Sizhu left, Siyue had been standing at the door watching, not approaching, just watching helplessly, the person who always loved her, would tease her, tell her stories, slowly followed The car made a sharp turn, and the mottled sunlight was printed like a shadow, and its bright colors faded.

The waves are silent, the tail of time is slowly dragging out, and the day of leaving to learn military training is getting closer and closer.

Because of going to school, Lu Qingtao's documents are not sent as frequently as before, and Zhou Ran can also take a break. He sleeps peacefully under the tree with his second treasure all day long, and occasionally he is quite leisurely to give pointers to the students who are studying. In the April of painting, one person and one cat live a leisurely and free-spirited life.

Except for the very busy opening day, the store's business has been very stable, not too good, but it will not be deserted either.Zhou Ran didn't intend to expand the business of this shop, so Zhou Huaning left it to Zhou Huaning to figure out how to make back his money, just enough to cover his daily expenses.

Because of the start of school, there are gradually more children on the road. Most of them went to other places to play during the holidays, or stayed with their parents.Like an emergency assembly call, those who had counted the days all rushed back.

Si Yue has been depressed recently, watching the children walking back and forth showing their new schoolbags and new stationery every day. She has dropped out of school for more than a year. the right to study.She is so eager to study, although she can't speak, and her grades are not top-notch, but in terms of diligence, she is definitely the hardest one in the class, even when she dropped out of school, she didn't give up the idea of ​​reading.

Most of the day in April was spent in the small shop. Zhou Huaning had been with her for so long, so he knew her somewhat. Looking at the blank eyes, he was obviously in a daze.

"Yaya, what's the matter?" Zhou Huaning squatted down, called her by her nickname affectionately, and asked, stroking her head.

Shaking her head in April, she just looked out of the window in a trance, with a strong longing in her eyes.

Zhou Huaning followed her gaze and looked out. Outside the window were just a few children playing together, and there was nothing unusual. Could it be that she wanted to play with these children?But it doesn't look like it.

Zhou Huaning coaxed a few words, but it still didn't work out, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried.She likes April very much, and she treats her like her own child in her heart. Seeing her so sad and unhappy, she feels uncomfortable.

Zhou Huaning deliberately went to talk to Zhou Ran when it was closing at night. After all, the two of them were also similar in age, and they might know something. After Zhou Ran listened, she subconsciously knocked on the table with her index finger a few times, and thought for a while before she fell down. Sheng and Zhou Huaning discussed a few words, seeing her eyes widen in surprise, and also showing a little thought, the two looked at each other, and they had a sense of agreement.

On the second day, Zhou Huaning led Zhou Ran to the door of the Xu family next door with a gift, found the second elder of the Xu family, and explained why he came.

"You said you want to recognize Siyue as your goddaughter?" Grandpa Xu asked in surprise.

Zhou Huaning nodded with a smile, and explained: "I really like Yaya, she is very cute and sensible, the only thing I lack is such a caring little padded jacket."

Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu looked at each other, and they had a solid foundation in their hearts. They also saw the temperament of Zhou Huaning and Zhou Ran this time, and they definitely wouldn't be as rude and rude as Si Yue's biological parents. , "I want to ask April for her opinion and see what she thinks?"

When Si Yue was summoned, she was still a little dazed, looking at everyone present with a bewildered face, bewildered.When asked this question, she hesitated.

"Yaya, are you willing to be my goddaughter?" Zhou Huaning was a little nervous when she asked this question, fearing that Siyue would reject her.

Without waiting for Siyue to answer, Zhou Ran leaned on the wooden chair and said lazily, "We are willing to pay for your study and all the expenses of going to school. You don't have to worry that we will restrict you from coming back to Xu's house." He saw it clearly, Si Yue still has a crush on Xu's family. After all, he also sees how well this family treats her.

Si Yue understood the words. She was stunned for a while, and then she knelt down on the ground with red eyes, knocked her forehead heavily on the ground a few times, and Zhou Ran almost jumped out of fright. Get up, this head knocked, Yaoshou yo.

Zhou Huaning and the elders of the Xu family nodded in comfort. After the kowtow, they are considered a family.In rural areas, this kowtow ceremony is common when people recognize their relatives. In some places, the etiquette is so complicated that people can't speak. It's just that Zhou Ran has been staying in the city and has little contact, so it is inevitable to make a fuss.

Zhou Ran is not a hot-tempered person, even if she recognizes her as a godsister, she is just as usual, doing what she should, only occasionally giving her homework advice, or taking her out for a few walks.

The day before the military training, Zhou Ran took April out early in the morning. He was going to school tomorrow, and Zhou Huaning was busy with things in the store. He was afraid that he would not have time to buy those school supplies for April, so he decided to take advantage of some Time, the two of them and the cat went out like this.

April is wearing a newly bought pink floral dress, with two long ponytails on her head and two beautiful pink ribbons on top. This is Zhou Huaning's hair accessories specially made for her. Girls, you have to dress up well It's better to go down.When Zhou Ran said that she was going to take her out, she was quite embarrassed. Zhou Ran bought her a lot of new gadgets recently, and the excitement has not passed yet.

Zhou Ran has always been more tolerant towards girls, not to mention Si Yue who is so obedient and obedient is even more in his heart, and he pays more attention to her. Li Mingliang and Chen Haiqing also brought small gifts to Si Yue when they came yesterday. She has been here a few times in April, and she also knows something about April's life experience, so she can't help but want to treat her well, probably people have a sense of self-righteousness towards the disadvantaged.

Meeting Xu Cheng in this commercial city was really an accident within an accident.

Xu Cheng saw Zhou Ran who was holding the little black cat at a glance. He lowered his head and said this to a little girl with dark eyes next to him, his eyebrows were gentle, calm and introverted.

Zhou Ran looked at Xu Cheng who was walking towards him, couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and stood solemnly.

"Come here to go shopping?" Xu Cheng asked with a gentle smile, the corners of his eyes gliding across Si Yue's face, and he calmly collected himself.

Zhou Ran nodded, and glanced at the assistant behind him, yo, it looks familiar.It seems that Lu Qingtao really put his mind to Xu Cheng, it depends on whether he accepts the love, even the second gold medal secretary trained in the family is willing to put Xu Cheng next to him, and he wants to tell Zhou Ran that it is just Raise it as a love child, ghosts believe it.
