cast a peach

Zhao Zhihua stroked the silver lighter in his hand, leaned back against the back of the chair, and smiled noncommittally: "It seems that you really like Xiao Shui."

It's rare.

She has known Tan Mingli for six years. The relationship between the two is actually quite strange. They don't have a deep friendship, but they trust and understand each other very well.

The two of them are very measured in doing things, and they are the most taboo to talk lightly, but they are an exception to each other.

Maybe it's because of fate—but it's more likely because of some sympathy and sympathy between smart women and the need to stop.

Others don't know Tan Mingli, but Zhao Zhihua knows her very well.

Tan Mingli...is a piece of ice brewed with peach blossom wine.Intoxicating, but cold in his bones, light and proud, ruthlessly clever.She always thought that a person like Tan Mingli should become a monk and learn from Buddhism or something. She was surprised when Tan Mingli chose to get married and run a family.

Such a person said he liked her daughter?

really interesting.

Tan Mingli shook the wine glass lightly, and said slowly, "Xiao Shui and I... are very hit-and-miss."

She has a good temperament and outstanding manners, and the juice in the glass is like a good wine, which is not against the harmony.

Speaking of Xiao Shui, her whole expression seemed to be dyed with a gentle and quiet softness.

"What does Xiao Shui mean?"

As soon as Zhao Zhihua asked, she was amused by herself. She leaned her head and smiled: "I asked the wrong thing. Xiao Shui has liked you since she was a child. If you want to keep her, how can she not?"

"I'll ask Xiaoshui's opinion when I go back." Tan Mingli didn't answer her words, but said very gently, "If she doesn't want to, I will send her there after the military training is over."

"it is good."

Zhao Zhihua snapped on the lighter, "Xiao Shui stays with you, I have nothing to worry about."

Tan Mingli was silent for a moment, then put down his glass: "Sister Zhihua."

"Have you ever considered... taking care of Xiao Shui yourself?"

Zhao Zhihua was stunned, and finally took a cigarette and lit it, took a deep breath and let it out: "Yes."

"But Xiaoshui doesn't kiss me." She raised her face to see the light blue smoke swaying and rising, "Our mother and daughter, the relationship is actually very weak."

This is a bit heavy to say.

Tan Mingli didn't like to listen very much, she pursed her lips, and said calmly: "Xiao Shui is a good boy, very affectionate and sensitive."

Zhao Zhihua was startled when he heard the words, understood a little of her implication, put down his hand holding the cigarette, and took a deep look at her:

"—what do you want to say?"

Zhao Zhihua narrowed his eyes slightly, showing a domineering aura, while Tan Mingli was unmoved, still calm and gentle: "I mean, sister Zhihua, have you ever thought that the relationship between Xiaoshui and Xiaoshui may be closer?" Could it be your problem?"

Zhao Zhihua was silent.

Tan Mingli didn't rush her, but just calmly drank the juice in the glass slowly.

"It's really you, Mingli, you still speak so deeply." Zhao Zhihua took another puff of cigarette and smiled helplessly.

"Xiao Shui..." She sighed, watching the smoke slowly burning between her fingers: "To be honest, I don't know what to do with Xiao Shui."

"I don't know how to get along with her..."

"She looks very much like her father." Zhao Zhihua said slowly and with difficulty.

Tan Mingli was also stunned.

The fact that Zhao Zhihua severed ties with the Zhao family and went to the south because of love was too famous, causing a lot of trouble in the city. Even she heard the quiet discussions between her parents across the ocean.

I heard that the man is very good-looking, male and female, prettier than many women.

But he is a poor boy.Grandpa Zhao lost his temper because of this, he did not allow his only daughter to marry him, and said that if Zhao Zhihua left with him, he would never come back again.

Zhao Zhihua was only in his early 20s at that time, young and bright, with a fiery temper, he said lightly "then I won't come back", and left everything behind without hesitation and went to the south with his lover.

later……

Everyone knows what happened later.

She didn't know what to say for a moment, she just clenched the wine glass tightly.

"When Xiaoshui was seven years old, I finally made a name for myself and had the courage to go home. At that time, she was already a big child."

"My father loves her very much and taught her very well. Xiaoshui is...very cute, well-behaved, smart, and very nice."

"But facing her face, I really don't know what to do."

The smoke had already burned out, Zhao Zhihua stared blankly at the nail polish on his fingers, and suddenly gave a wry smile: "Actually, sometimes I think, it would be great if Xiao Shui wasn't so smart. If only she was a little more stupid and slow , maybe she won't notice my subconscious resistance to her at all."

Tan Mingli sighed softly, feeling powerless for the first time today, she slowly supported her head.

Xiaoshui is very smart, and has a clear mind, and he can understand everything at once.

"Sometimes I feel really scared when I look at Xiao Shui, you know?"

Zhao Zhihua took another sip of wine, obviously a little drunk: "Her eyes are so dark and so clear, when she looks at you, it seems, as if she can..."

Look into your heart, see through your cowardly and weak soul.

A blunt and stuffy fire was burning in Tan Mingli's heart, she couldn't bear it anymore, she whispered: "Sister Zhihua, you are not a good mother."

Not only was it irresponsible, but it also caused Xiao Shui to suffer for many years.

Why do adults have to blame an innocent child for the mistakes they made?

"I regret your behavior." She stood up, not wanting to stay any longer, "I'll take my leave first, Xiaoshui is still waiting for me at home."

After driving out for a while, Tan Mingli still felt chest tightness.She unbuttoned a few buttons, lowered the window completely, and exhaled.

She is angry.

Zhao Zhihua made her very angry.

At the same time it made her feel pitiful.

But who is going to take pity on Xiao Shui?Xiao Shui was not wrong at all, who would have thought about Xiao Shui's feelings?

small water.

Thinking of the girl who was still obediently waiting for her to come home, Tan Mingli couldn't help feeling soft-hearted and relieved a little.

She tapped the steering wheel with her fingers, thinking for a while.

She didn't want to bring her emotions home, so she just wandered around and went back later, and bought something for Xiao Shui along the way.

There are a lot of people on the street today, and there are especially many couples in pairs, all talking and laughing sweetly.Tan Mingli recalled it a bit in a daze. She couldn't remember what special day it was for a while, so she gave up and stopped thinking about it.

She went to buy some fresh vegetables and fruits, and picked a thin white fish, planning to cook fish soup for Xiao Shui tomorrow.

This month, Xiaoshui's face was a little rounded by her, but after the military training, he went back again, and he was still skinny.She kept thinking about it, wanting to nourish Xiao Shui's body.

After thinking about it, I bought another very delicate cake to put in the passenger seat.Although Xiaoshui is not picky about food and has a sweet mouth, she will praise the delicious food as long as she makes it, but she usually observes Xiaoshui and finds that Xiaoshui tends to be sweet, so buying some sweets should not go wrong.

It was already dark when Tan Mingli returned to the community, she glanced at her watch, it was nine o'clock.It's really a bit late today, and I usually don't go out for so long.She couldn't help feeling a little worried.

I don't know if Xiao Shui will be bored at home alone.

After getting on the elevator, Tan Mingli stood at the door of the house with something in his hand, and it was difficult to get the key for a while.She was about to put down the bag when the door opened.

"Sister Pear!"

The girl trotted out, reached out to take the shopping bag in her hand, and welcomed her in, "You're back!"

Tan Mingli was still a little dazed, hey, a gentle smile unconsciously appeared on his face: "Xiao Shui?"

"I haven't knocked on the door yet, why did you come and open it?"

"Um……"

Zhao Guangshui put the fruits and vegetables in the refrigerator one by one, turned around and smiled sweetly at her: "Yes, I heard that."

Tan Mingli also laughed when she heard the words, and turned to look at the door.

The door of her house is very strong. After all, she is a woman who lives alone, and she needs to pay special attention to safety and privacy. She specially bought that kind of expensive foreign brand anti-theft door.She reached out and tried to knock on the door.

Very thick.

Obviously, the sound insulation effect is usually good... Can you really hear the sound through such a thick door?Tan Mingli pondered slightly, wondering if it was time to switch doors.

Zhao Guangshui was a little guilty and didn't dare to respond.

Today, Sister Li went out for a long time, she waited impatiently, and hesitated to call and send Sister Li, firstly, she was afraid of disturbing Sister Li, and secondly, she was afraid that Sister Li would find her annoying, so she moved a small chair to sit to the balcony.

There is a large floor-to-ceiling window on the balcony of Tan Mingli's house, which provides good lighting. Standing on the balcony, you can see the entrance of the community all the time.

Zhao Guangshui has been quietly watching the cars coming and going at the door, waiting patiently for Tan Mingli's car to come back.She remembered the appearance of Tan Mingli's car, and she could recognize it from a long distance.

But of course I can't tell Sister Pear.

She thought for a while, then changed the subject and said, "Sister, have you eaten yet?"

Sure enough, Tan Mingli stopped thinking about the door, glanced at her with a smile, bent down to put on her slippers, and said in a clear and soft voice, "Not yet. Xiao Shui, are you hungry?"

Although Zhao Zhihua and Zhao Zhihua also ordered food this afternoon, neither of them ate much.Zhao Zhihua had been drinking all the time, and she was very drunk when she left. Tan Mingli called Secretary Zhao Zhihua specially, and watched the secretary help Zhao Zhihua away before leaving.

She only drank a little juice in the afternoon, and went shopping a lot, and now she feels a little hungry.

"I'm fine." The girl shook her head with a smile, and said softly, a little embarrassed, "I made porridge... I want to eat it with my sister when she comes back."

She went into the kitchen and brought out two bowls of porridge and a few side dishes, the bowls were still steaming hot.

Tan Mingli was also stunned for a moment, looking at the dining table in a daze, and then at the well-behaved and beautiful girl.

Zhao Guangshui was obviously embarrassed, but tried his best to meet her eyes, and walked towards her with reddish cheeks.

With her hands behind her back, the girl took out a fiery red flower from behind, and handed it to her with clear eyes:

"Sister Li, happy Qixi Festival."
