Chapter 87 Warmth
Tang Xueli also fell silent.
The two men walked to the door of the design institute's staff building and stopped.
There was no one around and the night was exceptionally quiet.
"Go back, your mother must be waiting anxiously. See you at the boxing gym the day after tomorrow." Yan Jingshu paused and added, "Good night."
Tang Xueli didn't move. She was silent for a few seconds. She looked up at him and said, "Does Feng Biao want you to pay with your life?"
"..." Yan Jingshu shook his head, "I don't know."
"Is it unsafe for you to go home alone now?" Tang Xueli was a little worried.
Yan Jingshu smiled, "Why? Are you going to take me home?"
"That's not the case." Tang Xueli said, "I also took action that day. He knew I was your student, and it was not safe for me to leave alone."
Yan Jingshu looked at her face and thought, this is not the main reason why you are insecure.
He felt extremely guilty and uneasy for dragging Tang Xueli into this dispute.
"Don't go out at night these few days. Walk on the crowded roads during the day. In fact, it's best to go out less." Yan Jingshu reminded: "Be sure to pay attention to safety."
Tang Xueli nodded: "You too."
"I'll try to deal with this matter as quickly as possible." Yan Jingshu looked serious, even a little solemn.
"If you need help, you can find me."
Now he is not her class teacher, but he is still her boxing coach.
Most importantly, she recognized what he did as a journalist.
She didn't just want to help him, but wanted to do her part for justice within her ability.
Yan Jingshu smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Tang Xueli walked to the door of the family building and waved at him.
Yan Jingshu also raised his hand and waved.
He heard her enter the room and close the door before turning and leaving.
Tang Xueli told her mother in advance that she would not be back for dinner tonight, so Xia Jinhua did not close the stall early and had just returned home not long ago.
Although it was Yan Jingshu who first suggested inviting Tang Xueli to dinner tonight, she had actually planned to have dinner with him and ask about Feng Biao.
"Mom, I'm back." Tang Xueli changed her shoes at the door, walked to the sofa and sat next to her mother.
Xia Jinhua was folding dried clothes. She put down her work and hugged her daughter's shoulders.
"Are you tired from the exam?"
"Not tired." Tang Xueli said easily: "The question is very simple."
When filling out her application form before the exam, she applied to the Beijing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
The physical examination has also passed.
Just waiting for the results to come out next month and the admission letter.
"My daughter is amazing!" Xia Jinhua smiled happily, "She is the first college student in our family! Mom is proud of you."
Little Tang Sisi dropped the small ball in her hand, and when she saw Tang Xueli, she tried hard to crawl over.
Tang Xueli picked up Sisi and put her on her lap. She gently pinched her sister's chubby little face and asked, "Sisi, have you been good today?"
"Sister, sister." Tang Sisi still couldn't understand human language, but now when she saw people she would babble and call sister.
I learned this through constant brainwashing by my second sister Tang Shuangshuang.
The first words other children learn to say are either "Mom" or "Dad".
Tang Sisi is very unique. The first word she learned to say in her life was "sister".
"She is mom, call her mom." Tang Xueli pointed at her mother and taught her sister.
Tang Sisi blinked, "Sister."
Tang Xueli: "Yes, mom, mom."
"Sister." Tang Sisi shouted stubbornly.
Xia Jinhua continued to fold clothes with a happy and satisfied smile on her face.
"Mom, she is mom." Tang Xueli coaxed her sister.
Tang Sisi's big eyes twinkled, and her long eyelashes were particularly beautiful, making people feel soft-hearted when they saw her.
She stared at Tang Xueli with a cute look on her face, seemingly thinking about something.
"Mom, she is our mom." Tang Xueli seldom speaks in such a cute and playful tone, but when facing a baby, she will involuntarily become childish.
Tang Sisi shook her little head and said, "Mom."
The sound was crisp, bright and clear.
Xia Jinhua immediately turned her head and looked at her little daughter, tears welling up in her eyes.
She opened her arms towards Sisi, and Tang Xueli handed her sister to her mother's arms.
"The little baby can call mommy now. Sisi is so great!" Xia Jinhua kissed her little daughter on the face.
Tang Sisi chuckled.
She is a very cheerful child.
At the stall, no matter who teased her, she would give them a bright smile, which made her very likable.
Because of such a cute baby, the business at the stall is better.
At this time, Tang Shuangshuang came back from get off work.
She rushed over and hugged her mother warmly, then hugged Tang Xueli, and finally held Sisi on her lap and played with her.
"Does Sisi's poop stink today?" Tang Shuangshuang leaned over and smelled her sister's urine ring.
Tang Sisi smiled as if she was embarrassed, and shouted, "Mom."
Tang Shuangshuang was stunned, "What did you call me?"
"Mom." Tang Sisi learned a new word and found it very fresh. It might also be because "Mom" is easier to pronounce than "sister", so she seems to prefer calling "Mom".
Tang Shuangshuang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said a little jealously: "Sisi seems to call mom better, she can't even call sister so clearly!"
Tang Sisi was still young after all. After playing for a while, she started yawning and soon fell asleep.
After they cleaned up, Xia Jinhua and Tang Shuangshuang rushed to do the laundry. Tang Xueli walked over and made a suggestion: "Let's go buy a washing machine tomorrow."
She had had this idea a long time ago.
It's too hard to wash clothes with a washboard every day.
It's not a good thing for three people to always be fighting over things.
"Isn't a washing machine expensive?" Xia Jinhua was a little reluctant, but she also didn't want her daughters to always compete with her for washing clothes.
Tang Xueli said, "The cheaper ones are 100 or 200 yuan, and the more expensive ones are 300 or 500 yuan. Let's go to the store tomorrow to have a look."
"Great!" Tang Shuangshuang said excitedly: "Mom, I'll buy this washing machine. I have money!"
"You should save your money well." Xia Jinhua said with a straight face, "Mom will pay for the washing machine. You are all children, don't fight with me. What can I do with my money? It's all for you."
The next morning, Tang Shuangshuang changed her shift temporarily, and Xia Jinhua did not go to the stall, so the four of them, mother and daughter, went to the store together.
There are a lot of people in the place where washing machines are sold.
Compared to decades later, there weren’t that many types and brands of washing machines.
Tang Xueli quickly learned about the models and features of various washing machines.
She chose a 2KG semi-automatic double-tub washing machine, which cost more than 400 yuan.
Xia Jinhua and Tang Shuangshuang didn't quite understand, and they both trusted Tang Xueli's choice.
Tang Jincai had gotten a washing machine ticket when he was working in the factory and put it in the drawer of the east room of the slum. Tang Xueli had put it away carefully early in the morning, and it happened to be useful now.
When she handed the TV tickets and money to the cashier, she suddenly saw Feng Biao standing not far away.
Feng Biao waved at her and gave her an evil smile.
