Chapter 383 The Coward's Black Moonlight Witch 14
He Baifeng held the luggage in one hand and held Shen Xinran tightly with the other, reminding her: "There are a lot of people here, you have to stay close to grandma."
At the exit of the station, stood a middle-aged woman wearing a red floral dress and big wavy hair, her eyes fixed on the flow of people at the exit.
When He Baifeng appeared in her sight, a joyful smile immediately appeared on her face. She waved and shouted, "Mom, I'm here."
He Baifeng looked behind the woman and frowned: "Where is Tan Zhidong? Why isn't he with you?"
Wang Yaling explained with a smile: "Jingjing has a violin competition today. Zhidong took her to the competition and asked me to pick you two up."
He Baifeng nodded, then turned to Shen Xinran with anticipation in her eyes, "Niuniu, this is mommy, call mommy quickly."
Shen Xinran smiled sweetly and called softly, "Mom."
When Wang Yaling heard this name, she felt a mixture of emotions, because she hadn't seen Tan Shi for almost ten years since she left her in her hometown.
Suddenly hearing Tan Shi calling her mom, she felt a little overwhelmed and could only smile awkwardly, then said: "Our home is over there, I'll take you back in a taxi."
…
At noon, the sun is bright and warm, shining on the outer wall of the building, reflecting a faint light, making the whole building look particularly energetic.
Downstairs, a family of three strolled home, their shadows stretched out long in front of them as their steps swayed gently.
Walking in front was a little boy, about ten years old, wearing a pair of sneakers. He said as he walked, "Sister, you are really awesome today."
The person he was looking at was a young girl wearing an elegant floral dress with a gentle temperament. "If you like, I can also teach you."
The boy nodded immediately, "Okay, I want to be as good as you in the future."
A middle-aged man walked in the middle. He was wearing a light, short-sleeved shirt with the sleeves casually rolled up, and carrying a violin case. "I just hope you won't be too enthusiastic."
The family of three walked along the corridor and stopped on the fifth floor.
The middle-aged man took out the key and opened the door. When he saw the person on the sofa, his expression froze slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. "Mom, you're here!"
He Baifeng nodded and said, "It's been a while since we arrived."
After saying that, he looked at Shen Xinran and said lightly: "Niuniu, this is daddy, hurry up and call daddy."
But Shen Xinran's attention was focused on the girl who was about his age, without blinking.
Being stared at like this, Tan Jing smiled awkwardly, "Sister, why are you always looking at me? Is there something on my face?"
Shen Xinran shook her head. She actually saw a ball of light on Tan Jing's head. It was exactly the same as the light on Chu Bojian's head, but not as strong as Chu Bojian's.
Wang Yaling came out of the kitchen and said with a smile, "Everyone is here, it's time to eat."
After saying that, he looked at the little boy and frowned, "Tan Shuai, this is grandma, did you call her grandma?"
But Tan Shuai shrank behind his father. Finally, it was Tan Jing who spoke first: "Good afternoon, grandma."
Tan Shuai then perfunctorily called out, "Grandma."
The sound is very small and you can't hear it at all if you don't listen carefully.
A long table for four people with two stools could barely seat six people.
Tan Zhidong, the head of the family, sat at the head. Wang Yaling sat next to him, with Tan Jing next to her and Tan Shuai across from her. Shen Xinran and He Baifeng huddled together.
The food was served, the aroma filling the air. Wang Yaling asked Tan Jing with a concerned smile, "How did you feel about the competition today?"
Tan Jing's smile was tinged with shyness as she softly replied, "It feels okay."
Tan Shuai immediately added excitedly: "Sister is really amazing, she won first place."
These words made Tan Zhidong's tense face relax. "Her teacher said that after she practices for a while, she can participate in provincial competitions."
When Wang Yaling heard this, she burst into laughter. She picked up a piece of food for Tan Jing and said with a smile, "Mom knows you like sweet and sour pork ribs, so I made this especially for you."
Tan Shuai grumbled, pretending to be dissatisfied: "Mom is partial again. I also like braised pork ribs with potatoes."
Wang Yaling smiled and glared at Tan Shuai, "You're saying it as if I'm treating you unfairly. I'll do it for you tonight, okay?"
The family of three was chatting happily, but Chen Xinran and He Baifeng seemed a little out of place.
He Baifeng looked at Shen Xinran, only to see that she was concentrating on eating, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.
But He Baifeng still sighed in her heart. She picked up a piece of pork ribs for Shen Xinran and said with a smile: "Niuniu, eat more vegetables."
Wang Yaling then realized that she had neglected He Baifeng, and quickly picked up a piece of food for He Baifeng and said with a smile: "Mom, you should eat more too."
Tan Zhidong also coughed lightly and reminded her, "Mom finally came to the city. Why don't you take her to buy two sets of clothes this afternoon?"
When He Baifeng heard this, she shook her head and refused. "I have enough clothes. I don't need to buy new ones. If I want to buy new ones, I will buy them for Niuniu."
Wang Yaling glanced at Shen Xinran and only then noticed that her coat was still patched. If it were Tan Jing, she would have already stopped wearing it. She smiled and said, "Of course I'll buy them all."
Tan Zhidong had something to do in the afternoon, so he left after dinner.
Wang Yaling was washing dishes alone in the kitchen. As she was busy, she said, "Mom, wait until I finish washing the dishes, then we can leave."
He Baifeng sat on the sofa in the living room and nodded. She looked at Shen Xinran softly and said with a faint smile, "Niuniu, mom is taking us to buy new clothes."
However, Shen Xinran was not very interested in the new clothes. Her eyes were fixed on the TV screen. This was her first time watching TV in this world.
This made Tan Shuai, who was standing by, a little dissatisfied. He pursed his lips and muttered quietly, "What a bumpkin."
Shen Xinran turned to look at Tan Shuai, her brows tightly furrowed. This kid was so annoying, she didn't like him at all.
He Baifeng gently touched Shen Xinran's head and comforted her in a gentle tone, "Let's go out and buy new clothes first. If you want to watch TV, come back in the evening."
After hearing what her grandmother said, Shen Xinran regained a hint of joy on her face.
At this time, Wang Yaling finished washing the dishes and walked out of the kitchen. She looked at Tan Jing and Tan Shuai and asked, "Are you two going to the mall?"
Tan Shuai wanted to refuse, but after seeing his sister Tan Jing nod in agreement, he changed his mind and nodded, "Go."
He thought to himself, if he didn't follow, what if that little fool bullied his sister? He couldn't let his sister suffer any grievances.
