On the day when the semester ended, a small party was held in the school.
The teacher stood on the stage and said, "Everyone, please bring some food from home."
"Stop it!"
"Teacher no no no!"
The students in the audience reacted fiercely.
Li Xiaoya rested his head on his arm and couldn't help but smile quietly.
An Ying looked at her quietly from the side.
I thought that Li Xiaoya could laugh.
After the teacher left, Li Xiaoya took the rare initiative to invite them: "Do you want to come to my place to play?"
"No, no, no, boss, it can't be done."
"Yeah, otherwise, why don't you come to my house to play?"
Li Xiaoya tilted his head: "My father went abroad to work."
"Really, really?"
"Um."
"So, can we go?"
"sure."
Zhou Xiaoshu couldn't help but tug on Li Xiaoya's sleeve: "Why do you invite them? Just invite me! Well, at worst, we can add An Ying..."
"Who are they? They're not familiar at all. They're all idiots who just follow you and call you boss and can't do anything to help you."
Zhou Xiaoshu muttered softly.
why?
Because...because that old man seems to like children so much.
And he looks so sad...
If you give him more children, will his eyes still swell from crying?
Because of Komnenos' absence, these children finally happily followed Li Xiaoya in groups.
There are no other rules at Li Xiaoya's place except that his father is scary, so that's good!
And her father doesn't seem to know how to teach her who to play with and who not to play with... unlike their family.
"Let's go, boss!" They surrounded Li Xiaoya and left the classroom door.
If you want to go play with your classmates, of course they have to tell their families as usual.
When their parents heard on the other end of the phone that they were going to Li Xiaoya's place, their hair stood on end and their whole body became alert.
"Still going?"
Everyone's face was blue.
But it's a pity that their children can't be seen through the phone.
"Yes, her father is not at home anyway."
"..." The parents on the other end of the phone began to wonder how they could raise such a stupid child.
Where do primary school students care about this?
They came to Zhang's house.
"Wow! Why is it different from the last home?"
"I know this...it's very expensive here."
When Mr. Zhang heard the chirping, he couldn't help but put on his coat and walked out slowly, supported by his secretary.
"Is this what she said yesterday, that she wanted to bring friends to play?" Mr. Zhang murmured.
The secretary was also shocked: "Yes, I have so many friends..."
There are some well-behaved children, and of course there are some assholes. But in front of the boss, Li Xiaoya, they all seemed extremely well-behaved and did whatever they were told.
All that remains is the purest side of a child.
"Can you play Monopoly?" A child asked Mr. Zhang with his head raised.
Mr. Zhang said regretfully: "I can't."
"An Ying can teach Grandpa Zhang." Li Xiaoya said.
An Ying was stunned: "How do you know?"
"I saw you play last time."
An Ying licked her lips and said nervously: "Then, I'll teach you."
She has always had a low sense of presence in the crowd, but she didn't expect Li Xiaoya to pay attention to her quietly...
An Ying is different from these brats. Under the influence of her father, she got to know many people in Tianjin's upper class circles early on.
She knew who Mr. Zhang was.
But...but why was Li Xiaoya willing to give up such an opportunity to her?
An Ying's heartbeat was pounding.
Is it because she helped Li Xiaoya tell the teacher last time? But that's just a small thing.
An Ying couldn't understand, but this did not affect the joyful atmosphere that followed.
Mr. Zhang sat down and played Monopoly with them. He also taught Li Xiaoya how to play flying chess and chess.
The difficult time passed so quickly.
When they left, Mr. Zhang felt a little disappointed.
But I didn't expect that when I got up the next day, the dining table was empty.
Mr. Zhang put down his chopsticks and couldn't help but ask: "Where's the little duck?"
"Master Qin said that her family's condition seems to be getting better, so I took her home for a few days to check on her."
"oh."
Mr. Zhang turned his head and stared at the courtyard outside.
It's empty again.
Never before had the loneliness and silence been so unbearable... He looked down at the dazzling array of food in front of him.
They don't even look tasty.
"Don't children like eating these shrimp dumplings very much? It's time to finish eating before saying goodbye." Mr. Zhang murmured in a low voice.
On the other side, Qin Sui held Li Xiaoya's hand and walked in the park.
"It would be impolite to leave like this." Li Xiaoya whispered, "Will he be sad?"
Qin Sui's voice was very calm, so calm that he even seemed a little cold: "People will get used to what they have. Only when they can no longer have it, will they be willing to pay for it and change it."
"Suddenly it changes from lively to deserted, and the loneliness is unbearable... If you hope he can help you, it will be a matter of course."
After Qin Sui finished speaking, he couldn't help but squat down and asked, "Do you think I'm scary? Such calculations on people's hearts."
Li Xiaoya sighed softly, looked at him and said, "But for me... If you are scary, then I seem to be even scarier."
As a person who enjoys benefits, how can you say that others are terrible?
Qin Sui hugged her: "Little duck..."
"Um?"
But Qin Sui said nothing.
"I think this is not good for Grandpa Zhang. Can we make it up to him in the future?" Li Xiaoya asked proactively.
"Um."
Qin Sui thought, when can you treat me better than Sheng Yuxiao?
He is looking forward to it...
But as soon as Qin Sui came up with this idea, Li Xiaoya's cell phone rang.
The call was from Sheng Yuxiao.
"Hello."
"The arrangements have been made in Jiangcheng. Is it convenient for us to go together tomorrow?"
"Okay!" Li Xiaoya's eyes lit up.
It seems that I am closer to the mother I used to be.
After putting away the phone, Qin Sui took Li Xiaoya back to Zhang's house.
Mr. Zhang was surprised to see them coming back.
He felt that this was not good, but he still asked: "Is the family member's condition getting worse again?"
Li Xiaoya shook his head: "No, after having a meal with you, I will go to Jiangcheng."
If you stay with grandpa for a while longer, he probably won't be so sad.
"What are you doing there?"
"Go there to find mom's belongings."
Mr. Zhang thought of the content in the variety show.
He is really a very pitiful, but very cute child who loves his mother very much...
Mr. Zhang suddenly said: "I'll go with you." After saying that, he himself felt a little abrupt, so he quickly asked: "Is it convenient?"
"I was thinking, maybe as an old man, I can be of some help?"
Can you help me?
Mr. Zhang winked at the secretary on the side. Why don't you contact the Chief Inspector of Jiangcheng first?
the other side.
The parents of the third-grade primary school students waited nervously for several days but did not receive a call from Komnenos.
This time I visited Li Xiaoya's place and it was extremely calm.
Only then did they ask about the child: "When you went there, Li Xiaoya was the only one at home? Except for her father, other family members were not here either?"
"No. But she has her grandpa here. Is it her grandpa? Her grandpa is very nice. He even plays games with us and lets us play in the mud..."
"Playing in mud?" The adult's mouth twitched, thinking what kind of low-level activity this was. So dirty.
"Li Xiaoya's house is very big. It's a Western courtyard, built right next to some palace. I remember my father said that the houses there are the most expensive... Li Xiaoya is really rich."
"Next to what palace?" It's normal for the foreign man to have money, but to buy such a Western courtyard, it's not just about having money. He is not qualified to buy it at all!
"You are not an ordinary person who lives in that section of the road, right?" The adult touched his chin, frowned and thought carefully, "That should... seems to be the residence of the Zhang family. Because Mr. Zhang's son grew up there during his childhood, so He did not go to Zhongnanhai to recuperate..."
"It can't be such a coincidence, right?"
The man opened the search engine and found a photo of Mr. Zhang attending the event, and showed it to the child: "Does her grandpa look like this?"
The child shook his head first.
Men say the same thing, how can it be such a coincidence. Mr. Zhang has never heard of a granddaughter, and if he has a granddaughter, he will not study in an aristocratic school.
But the child nodded again: "He seems a little older than in the photo...and not so fierce. He has a good temper, and he even feeds Little Duck Li."
...It’s true! The man was stunned.
After a long while, he managed to say: "No, what kind of monsters are you little ducks in Banli?"
Is her family a mixed bag?
But who is a kid who works hard at one thing and another and still becomes a boss?
