Chapter 35
Fu Zhengran’s grandmother’s house next door.
“What’s wrong? Who’s here?” Seeing her grandson, the old lady got up and went to open the door again.
“Grandma, it’s Sister Xiangxiang who is here. Sister Xiangxiang wants to have dinner with Xinxin.” Little Tongxin opened his **** eyes, which were full of joy.
“What sister?” The old lady asked the little granddaughter next to her. As soon as she finished speaking, she saw her grandson walking in with a little girl.
“Grandma, this is Mu Yao, a classmate in my class. She just moved here and lives across the street. She brought the snacks and soup just now.” Fu Zhengran introduced to the old lady.
On the sofa, Fu Zhengran’s grandmother had neatly combed white hair and was wearing a dark red knitted sweater with dark patterns. Her face was wrinkled, but she was full of energy.
Mu Yao said hello: “Grandma Fu, hello.”
“Grandma, this is Xiangxiang’s sister.”
When Xiaotong Xin saw Mu Yao coming, she immediately got off the sofa, ran to Mu Yao’s side, and hugged her leg, “That’s great, my sister is here to accompany Xin Xin for dinner.”
“Hello, okay, don’t stand there, come and sit here.”
Grandma Fu has lived for most of her life, but this is the first time she has seen such a delicate little girl, a small face is snow-white, with a faint pink color, like the tender flower bones on the branches, not to mention how beautiful it is .
She looked at her grandson with a smile on her face, and the little granddaughter was hanging on the little girl’s lap. Obviously, both of them liked the little girl very much.
“Come on, you’re welcome, sit next to grandma, did you move here today?” Grandma Fu had a kind face and a gentle tone.
Mu Yao glanced at Fu Zhengran, and there was a gentle smile in his eyes, “Come on, don’t be too polite.”
Then Mu Yao walked over embarrassingly, and sat beside Grandma Fu, “Yes, I just moved here today, and I wanted to say hello to Grandma Fu, but I didn’t expect you to be the class monitor’s grandmother.”
The little girl’s voice was soft, with a soft grunt, which was very pleasant to hear. Looking closely, Grandma Fu found that the little girl’s facial features were not only exquisite, but her skin was also white and tender, which was smoother than the coconut milk cake she sent.
This kind of little girl is very attractive, it looks like she wants to be loved and pampered in the palm of her hand.
Grandma Fu laughed, “This is fate. Xiaoran, is the meal ready?”
“I’ll go and bring out the dishes.” Fu Zhengran took a look at Mu Yao who was sitting obediently beside her grandmother, then turned and went to the kitchen.
“My grandson cooks well, Xiaoyao, you should eat more later.” The more Grandma Fu looked at the little girl, the more she liked it.
Old people know how to read people best. Although Mu Yao in front of her is bright and beautiful, but her eyes are clear and upright, she looks like an obedient child.
“My brother’s cooking is delicious. Xinxin likes his cooking the most.” Tong Xin praised her brother in a childlike voice. She had already sat next to Mu Yao, blinking her **** eyes, wishing she could stick to Mu Yao’s body.
At this time, Fu Zhengran came out with the dishes and placed them on the dining table. He said in a clear voice, “It’s time to eat.”
“Let’s sit down.” Grandma Fu said.
I saw a plate of dishes with beautiful color and attractive aroma on the dining table. There are steamed sweet-scented osmanthus fish, braised pork ribs, fried beef with mushrooms, braised shrimp in oil, stewed tofu with minced meat, and stewed chicken soup with coconut milk. .
Mu Yao was slightly taken aback, it seemed that Fu Zhengran’s cooking skills were even better than hers.
Fu Zhengran took off his apron. He was wearing a white shirt and a pair of black trousers. He was tall and thin. He walked over and said to Mu Yao with a smile, “If you don’t think it tastes good, please don’t laugh at me. .”
“The squad leader is too modest.” Mu Yao really felt that the taste of such a good-looking dish would definitely not be bad.
Little Tong Xin sat beside Grandma Fu, and on the other side was Mu Yao. Fu Zhengran walked over and sat down beside Mu Yao, with a clear voice, “I’ve boiled the soup you brought, just as Grandma likes it. Drink fish soup.”
Grandma Fu smiled and said, “Yes, especially the soup made from small crucian carp, which is the sweetest and most delicious. You are welcome, Xiao Yao, you can eat whatever you like.”
“Well, I won’t be polite.” There was a smile on Mu Yao’s beautiful eyebrows.
Grandma Fu told Mu Yao to add food from time to time. She saw that the little girl had a good posture when eating, and she was dignified and refined when she ate, not to mention how delicate and beautiful she was. She didn’t know how her parents raised such a juicy little girl Jiaojiao, it hurts my heart.
Fu Zhengran saw that Mu Yao was drinking the soup from a bowl, it might be a little hot, so she blew on the soup, and then tried to take a sip.
The small mouth was instantly stained with water color, glowing, red and bright, very beautiful and attractive.
Fu Zhengran couldn’t help being stunned for a while, and then slowly looked away.
After a meal, the atmosphere was pleasant and harmonious, especially the childish voice of Xiao Tongxin, who spoke childish words that made people laugh from time to time, which made the atmosphere even better.
After the meal, Fu Zhengran got up and began to clean up the dishes.
“Squad leader, let me help you.” She just sat there, embarrassed.
“It’s okay, I’ll just come. You’re a guest, how can I let you do it? Just sit in the living room. My grandma has a lot of good tea, and you can try it.” Fu Zhengran said with a smile.
A gentle young man without any pretensions. He rolled up the sleeves on both sides of his white shirt and started to clean up the dishes.
Mu Yao had no choice but to get up and go to the living room to chat with Grandma Fu and Tong Xin.
“Xiaoyao, this dessert of yours tastes so good to me.” Grandma Fu opened the fresh-keeping box Mu Yao sent, which contained a white coconut milk cake, and a layer of shredded coconut was sprinkled on it. thick.
The little Tongxin next to her likes snacks and sweets the most. She holds a piece of coconut milk cake in her hand and nibbles on it. Her **** eyes are bright, and she obviously likes it too. “It’s delicious, Xinxin likes it.”
“If Grandma Fu and Xinxin like it, I’ll make it another day and send it to you.” Mu Yao said.
“Okay, okay, Xinxin likes the cakes made by my sister.” Little Tongxin was so happy that her two braids dangled, and she wished she could come forward and kiss Mu Yao.
Sitting with the two for a while, Mu Yao looked at the time, it was almost eight o’clock, and she didn’t know if Jiang had finished the meal she prepared, and it was only the first day of moving here, so she was also worried that she would be away for too long Time, small things will feel uneasy in strange places alone.
“Grandma Fu, I have something else to do, so I won’t bother you for now.” Mu Yao said.
Grandma Fu knew that Mu Yao had moved here for the first time, so she must have a lot of things to pack, so she didn’t keep her any longer, “I’ll ask Zhengran to send you off.”
Mu Yao quickly refused, “Don’t bother the squad leader, it’s just opposite.”
“Are you going back?” Just in time, Fu Zhengran came out of the kitchen, “I’ll take you there.”
Without waiting for Mu Yao to refuse, he walked to the door first and opened it.
“Grandma Fu, Xinxin, I’m going back, goodbye.” Mu Yao stood up and said goodbye.
“Sister Xiangxiang, will you come to my grandma’s house for dinner next time? Xinxin will miss you so much.” Little Tongxin bit the coconut milk cake, saw that Mu Yao was about to leave, and flattened his little mouth covered with shredded coconut, a little sad.
“Of course, Xinxin can come to my house to play when she has time later.” Mu Yao couldn’t help but patted her little head.
Hearing this, Xiaotong Xin laughed, showing her small white teeth, “Okay, Xinxin is going to my sister’s house to play.”
Fu Zhengran accompanied Mu Yao to the door of her residence. Seeing her take out the key to open the door, he lowered his eyes, looked at the delicate and beautiful girl in front of him, and said in a gentle voice: “I heard that you won a prize in the S city competition.” Waiting for the prize, congratulations.”
“Thank you.” Mu Yao opened the door, “The food is delicious, I really appreciate your hospitality today, monitor, you can go back.”
Fu Zhengran still had a gentle smile in his dark eyes, “Okay.”
Compared with the bright lights next door, she was happy and happy. In Mu Yao’s residence, only the living room lights were turned on, and the surroundings fell into a deathly silence.
The food in the small bowl had already cooled down, but Jiang Yan was still squatting at the door without moving at all, the light in his eyes was extremely dark.
I don’t know how long it took, but Jiang Yan squatted until his legs became numb before he heard a sound from the door.
It was Mu Yao who came back.
Jiang Yan pricked up his right ear, listened carefully, and suddenly heard a man’s voice. It’s that boy, with such a distance of two steps, he actually wants to send Mu Yao back?
Jiang Yan’s dog’s mouth was closed tightly, and he clenched his teeth in displeasure.
The door was unlocked, and Jiang Yan immediately raised his head, his eyes were full of pity and grievance that he didn’t know.
However, the door was pushed open a crack, and in the next second, Jiang Yan clearly heard Mu Yao behind the door praising the delicious food made by that boy.
What’s so great about cooking delicious food?
Jiang Yan’s face was straight down, and his chest, which was already full of soreness, became even more congested.
Pushing open the door, as soon as Mu Yao stepped into the house, she saw Sheng Jiang squatting at the door, raising her small head, staring at her resentfully.
That little look, how wronged, how wronged, seems to be angry.
God, this little thing is not angry, is it?
Mu Yao changed her shoes and put on the pink slippers on the shoe rack for her thin white feet. She walked over and picked up the little thing squatting on the ground, “Is Ginger waiting for me to come back?”
Falling into the soft, warm embrace, smelling the sweet fruity fragrance, the sourness in Jiang Yan’s heart became stronger, it was strange, strange, and it made him uncomfortable.
Jiang Yan originally wanted to turn to the beginning and ignore Mu Yao, who told her to leave him here, and ran to have dinner with that boy by herself.
However, when she stroked his dog’s head, she softly coaxed him in his right ear: “Is the little thing really angry? It’s my fault, I kept Jiang waiting for a long time.”
In the next second, Jiang Yan felt that most of the soreness in his chest had disappeared.
“Ginger, haven’t you eaten yet?” Mu Yao walked over with Ginger in her arms, and saw the food in a small bowl on the floor, the food was untouched, obviously it had cooled down.
Mu Yao lowered her head to look at the little thing in her arms, it stared at her with its round dog eyes, obviously saying that it was right.
“Is **** waiting for me?” Mu Yao asked it softly.
Who cares to wait for you?
Jiang Yan snorted secretly and didn’t want to pay attention to her.
Mu Yao touched its small head, “Huh?”
“Wow!”
In the next second, Jiang Yan couldn’t hold back, and responded.
When Mu Yao heard this, her red lips curled up and she laughed, “Ginger is so good.”
She held the little thing in one hand, and picked up the small bowl on the ground with the other. The home appliances in the house are complete, saving Mu Yao a lot of trouble.
She heated the small bowl in the microwave, then carried the **** over to the dining table, where a tall wooden chair was obviously reserved for it.
Mu Yao put the little thing on the high wooden chair, “Sit **** here and don’t move around.” She turned to get the small bowl that had been heated in the microwave, “Okay, you can eat now.”
Jiang Yan stared at her blankly, under the light, Mu Yao was too gentle.
At this time, Jiang Yan felt the soreness in his chest disappear in an instant, and his heart was beating strangely and desperately.
The night was dark, and when it was time to go to bed, Mu Yao prepared a small bed for Jiang to sleep beside the sofa in the living room.
In the small building, apart from the room being the balcony, at first Jiang could only sleep on the balcony, but later he was injured and the weather turned cold, so he was transferred to her room to sleep. It’s different now, Ginger can sleep in the living room.
“Ginger, this is your bed, you will sleep here from now on.” Mu Yao pointed to the soft cushion on which a small quilt was placed.
Jiang Yan’s eyes darkened, didn’t he sleep in Mu Yao’s room?
“Do you like ginger?” Mu Yao picked up its round puppy body and placed it directly on the mat.
Jiang Yan didn’t snort. Did he want to say that he wanted to sleep in her room?
how is this possible!
For the next second, Jiang Yan could only watch helplessly as Mu Yao turned off the other lights, leaving only one small light. Then, she patted his head and went back to the room.
There was another silence in the living room.
Jiang Yan lay on the small quilt with a faint fragrance of laundry detergent, looking sleepy, and after a while, he closed his eyes.
The next day, when Mu Yao went to the classroom, she found that many people looked at her with enthusiasm and enthusiasm.
“Xiaoyao, here.” In the middle, Xu Yan, Fang Zishan, and Li Feifei had already arrived.
Mu Yao walked over and sat down near the aisle.
“What’s wrong with everyone? You look at me strangely.” Mu Yao put the fresh-keeping box full of cherries that she had prepared early in the morning from her bag in the drawer, ready to eat after class. He also took out the textbooks that will be used later.
“That’s because they all know that you represented our school in the competition and won the first prize. Everyone admires you.” Xu Yan looked at Mu Yao nervously, “Xiao Yao, I showed them your competition Are you mad at me for the video of the day?”
Mu Yao didn’t expect everyone to know, “Why are you angry?” She didn’t think about hiding it, and Xu Yan was just happy for her, she is not a person who doesn’t know right from wrong.
“Xiao Yao, you’re so kind.” Xu Yan leaned closer to Mu Yao, happily smelling the fragrance on her body, she felt that Mu Yao’s perfume smelled really good, no matter how much she smelled it, she wouldn’t feel tired.
“Xiaoyao, you are really amazing. The situation at that time was very dangerous. They said it was the staff’s mistake, but I always felt that there was a shady scene, but in the end it was a surprise. It should be your award. How could those people not get it?” I can’t take it away, it’s great.” Fang Zishan also came over and said excitedly.
When watching the video, everyone thought that Mu Yao was really going to fail the competition, but unexpectedly, there was a big counterattack in the end, and Mu Yao turned out to be the first place with full marks.
What a surprise.
“Of course Xiaoyao is amazing, and I heard from my uncle that the news of Xiaoyao’s winning this time will be posted on the announcement at the entrance of the canteen.” Xu Yan was eating snacks with a proud expression on her face. Those who didn’t know thought she was winning the prize. The person is her.
When class was about to start, Xu Yan took out a small bottle from her backpack and handed it to Mu Yao.
“Huh? For me?” Mu Yao looked at the powder in the small bottle, she quickly opened the lid, and a familiar smell came instantly, she raised her head in shock, “It’s ambergris.”
Ambergris is one of the favorite spices of perfumers. The powdered ambergris is dissolved in alcohol and can be used to make perfume. The fragrance is not only gentle, but also long-lasting, which is the best among spices.
However, ambergris is expensive and is generally only used in high-end perfumes.
Before wearing it, ambergris was not a rare spice to her, but it is different now, she is very poor now, and even the perfume can only be borrowed from the school’s laboratory, not to mention that it is similar to gold. She couldn’t afford the expensive ambergris.
“Xiaoyao, your nose is really good. It’s ambergris. This is my birthday present from my uncle. It’s for you.”
Mu Yao capped the small bottle and returned it to Xu Yan, “No, it’s too expensive, I can’t take it.”
“do not.”
Xu Yan put down the snacks in her hand, and said to Mu Yao embarrassedly: “Xiao Yao, just take it, actually, I have something to ask for your help.”
“What’s up?”
“Don’t I like photography? When I started school, the only club I signed up for was the photography troupe. Recently, the troupe organized a photography competition. I don’t care about the prizes, but I want to prove my photography skills.”
Xu Yan looked helplessly at Mu Yao who looked blank, “So I need your help.”
“Huh?” How can she help?
Xu Yan licked the corner of her mouth and said excitedly: “I want Xiaoyao to be my model and take a set of mermaid photos.”
She can already imagine how beautiful Xiaoyao looks as a mermaid. With her photography skills and Mu Yao’s appearance, her works will definitely win awards.
Mu Yao was stunned, “You want me to pretend to be a mermaid?”
“Yes, yes, I’ve thought about it, and only you are the most suitable, Xiao Yao, are you willing to help me?” Xu Yan looked at Mu Yao eagerly.
“However, my swimming skills are not very good.” She has learned to swim, but her skills are average.
“It doesn’t matter, I’m not looking for a swimmer.” Xu Yan waved her hand and said, “It won’t be a long time to shoot, and many photos will be taken by the swimming pool.”
Mu Yao looked forward to Xu Yan’s face, thinking that the other party went to S city to watch her match in order to cheer her up. Now it’s just a small request, how could she refuse, “Okay.”
“Ah, thank you Xiaoyao, the work that will come out by then will definitely be very good.”
Hearing Mu Yao’s answer, Xu Yan went crazy with joy.
Even if Mu Yao refused her, she would not be angry, but now that Mu Yao was so gentle and agreed to her request, Xu Yan was excited and boiled all of a sudden.
“You put away these ambergris, I can’t take it.”
Xu Yan shook her head, “No, Xiaoyao, you can accept it. Anyway, I’m not very interested in making fragrances. It would be a waste if they are left in my hands, but they will only become good works in your hands, okay. Perfumes only play their value.”
She directly stuffed the small bottle into Mu Yao’s hand, “Besides, don’t you have a fragrance competition to participate in next month? It will definitely be useful at that time. Xiao Yao, don’t reject me, just treat it as I invite you to be my payment as a model, okay?”
Mu Yao understood what Xu Yan meant, and she didn’t refuse again, “Thank you.”
Only then did Xu Yan happily continue eating snacks, with an unstoppable smile on her face.
Ah, Xiaoyao wants to pretend to be a mermaid, just thinking about it makes her feel so beautiful.
