Dad Academy

Back in the car, Zhang Tan drove. It was up to him to decide where to eat at noon. The children had no objection, and Huang Liangliang also gave him full authority.

"Put down your bag. You don't have to carry it when you're sitting in the car." Huang Meibai said to the two children behind her.

The two of them had been carrying their bags since they got in the car, with their feet resting on the chairs and whispering to each other enthusiastically.

Today is a very special day for them.

After listening to Huang Liangliang's words, the two of them put down their bags. Xiaobai lay beside the car window and looked outside intently with his big eyes.

"Xiaobai, what are you looking at?" Xiaomi asked curiously when she saw that Xiaobai suddenly stopped talking to her and looked out the window intently. At the same time, she also looked out the car window. There was nothing special.

Xiaobai pointed to a building outside the car window and said excitedly to Xiaomi: "Look, it's such a tall building, it's as high as the sky."

Xiaomi looked at it and nodded in agreement, but he didn't feel excited. In Pujiang, the most indispensable thing is high-rise buildings.

Xiaomi yawned, leaned back in his seat, squinted his eyes, and began to take a nap. She was sleepy.

Xiaobai excitedly turned around to talk to her, wanting to share the large cartoon sculpture outside, but seeing that she was sleepy, he held back his words, turned his head, and continued to stare closely at the world outside.

This colorful world.

High-rise buildings, shops, and people walking around, a prosperous and unfamiliar world unfolded before her eyes, which fascinated her.

Huang Liangliang saw this and asked her: "Has Xiaobai ever come out to play?"

Xiaobai shook his head, said nothing, and continued to stare outside.

Huang Liangliang asked again: "Let your aunt take you out to play on the weekend."

"Auntie wants to work to make money." Xiaobai said without looking back.

"Do you have to work on weekends?" Huang Liangliang asked doubtfully.

Zhang Tan, who was driving, stared at her. Although he said nothing, his eyes told her not to ask further questions.

Huang Liangliang moved her lips silently and made a sound.

"Sister, don't you make money on weekends?" Xiaobai asked.

Huang Liangliang replied: "Every weekend is a day off. Just like today, these uncles and aunts are resting at home and don't have to go to work, so they have time to participate in our activities."

"What?" Xiaobai asked in surprise, confusion written all over his face.

Huang Liangliang liked hearing her talk about Trump very much. He was so cute and cute. She smiled and said, "Everyone rests at home on weekends. Don't you know?"

Xiaobai shook his head in confusion.

Huang Meibai added: "Haven't you noticed that on weekends, many children don't come to Little Red Horse Academy at night? That's because their parents don't have to work that day and can take them to play."

Xiaobai shook his head and nodded again. She remembered that there would always be a few days when there would be far fewer children in the academy. Sometimes Liliu and Cheng Cheng would not come, and even Xiaomi around her would be absent.

She tilted her head and thought hard. Among the children she knew, it seemed that every one of them would sometimes not come to the academy. Some children even did not come once and never came again after that. She had had several good friends leave without saying goodbye, and every time, she would be sad for several days.

She didn't know that the real farewell was never goodbye, it was always goodbye without saying goodbye.

Xiaobai held his little head and thought blankly for a while, forgetting to look at the scenery outside the window.

She thought about it, there were so many children in the academy, but it seemed that only she and Luo Zikang came every day.

She has been attending Little Red Pony Academy for half a year, which is not a long time, but she is one of the children who has stayed there the longest.

The staff turnover in Little Red Horse Academy is very high, and the fees here are also collected on a weekly basis. Children who come for one week may not come the next week.

Seeing that Xiaobai was dazed and dazed, Huang Liangliang asked with concern: "Xiaobai, what's wrong with you? Do you want to sleep?"

Xiaobai looked up at her, his big eyes a little dazed. After looking for a while, he gradually focused and said, "My aunt is working so hard."

In her mind, her uncle and aunt had to work every day and also on weekends. Although she didn't understand what weekend meant, she thought it was Monday and Tuesday, not a day off.

Because her uncle and aunt work every day, they naturally have no time to take her out to play. Since arriving in the international metropolis of Pujiang at the beginning of the year, she has lived a life of two points and one line, going back and forth between the rental house and the school.

During the day, she played alone in the rental house. In the evening, she watched the sun slip away from her home. The sun outside the window set, and people began to pass by outside the door. There were voices... She knew that the neighbor's adult had gone home. Her aunt and uncle are also coming back soon.

And she was preparing to go to Little Red Horse Academy. This was her happiest time. The small schoolbag had been packed at noon, and she had checked it countless times. She could count the pages of several picture books in it.

Xiaobai sat back on the seat, staring at the children's sippy cup in her hand in a daze. She had no intention of looking at the scenery outside the car window, and she didn't pay attention to Huang Berry who was talking to her. She looked thoughtful.

Zhang Tan quickly noticed the change in Xiaobai's mood, drove into the reserved restaurant, stopped the car and said, "Okay, we're here, ready to eat."

He opened the back door of the car and saw Xiaomi asleep, and gently took her out of the car. Xiaomi woke up in his arms.

On the other side, Huang Qianbang also wanted to carry Xiaobai down, but the child refused to let her go. She pushed her hand away and climbed down by herself.

This restaurant serves authentic Pujiang cuisine. When I asked the two children what they wanted to eat, they both shook their heads and asked Huang Meili to order.

Huang Liangliang is not only good at playing chess, she is also good at eating. Her plump and juicy figure was shaped in various restaurants.

Xiaobai looked at the dishes on the table and sighed: "There are so many dishes."

She has never eaten so many dishes. Every morning, she eats the steamed buns, eggs, or noodles that her aunt left for her. She eats the leftovers from the morning for lunch. Only in the evening will she eat more. Her aunt will fry two or three vegetables, and her uncle will bring out his peanuts. He picked up a bottle of beer and drank it with gusto. He often teased her and poured wine for her to drink.

She only drank it once, and when she took a sip, it tasted terrible. Her whole little face wrinkled with disgust. She stood up, cursed, and threw the plastic cup against the wall. My aunt scolded my uncle, and my uncle laughed heartily.

Because of this, when she went to Zhang Tan's house as a guest and saw Zhang Tan's sumptuous dinner, drinks and fruits, she would say, "Be good to yourself."

Zhang Tan said, "There are many of us. Come on, have a bowl of soup before eating. I'll serve it to you."

He picked up Xiaobai's small bowl and filled her with a bowl of pickled fresh food. The soup was stirred, the aroma spread, and some children's stomachs were growling.

Xiaobai covered his belly and laughed sheepishly.

She had breakfast early and was hungry now.

Zhang Tan filled a bowl for Xiaobai, placed it in front of her, and filled another bowl for Xiaomi.

Xiaobai lowered his head and looked at the bowl of soup curiously, and asked curiously: "What is this?"

Pickled Duxian is a local Pujiang dish and a very representative stew.

Du, in Wu Nong's soft language, means stew, boil, and soup. Pickled refers to pickled bacon, and fresh refers to fresh meat.

Pickled pork is stewed with bacon.

Both bacon and fresh meat are lean meat with fat, and some of them are ribs. Today, I was specially told to serve lean meat with fat because the children cannot bite the ribs.

The pickled food served to Xiaobai and Xiaomi included both meat and bamboo shoots.

There are large and small pieces of meat, large pieces of bacon and small pieces of fresh meat, all of which are particular.

Bamboo shoots are spring bamboo shoots. This cannot be changed. If they are replaced with other ingredients, they cannot be called pickled and fresh.

There is no spring bamboo shoots in the name of the dish, but in fact this is the soul of the dish. The spring bamboo shoots have a light and tender taste, which just balances out the saltiness of the bacon and the smoke of the fresh meat.

Pickled fresh food is a home-cooked dish of Pujiang locals. Every family makes it, and each family makes it differently. In addition to the above three main ingredients, there are also other ingredients such as lettuce, louver knots, etc.

Zhang Tan's grandmother used to like to put lettuce. The lettuce is fresh and tender, and it is especially delicious after being cooked in the soup.

The soup of this dish is slightly salty, which is perfect for adding salt when you are sweating in summer.

"It smells delicious~~" Xiaobai took a deep breath, almost drooling.

Zhang Tan knew that her favorite food was Rourou, also known as quack. Every time she came to his house as a guest, she always asked if she was going to eat quack today. This kid is a carnivorous animal.

"It smells good. Then eat it quickly. Just be careful not to burn your mouth."

After a busy morning, the children are hungry and have a good appetite. Xiaobai once again proved that she is very good at eating, and can eat more millet.

There were two plates of bee steamed buns. The buns were made in the shape of bees. The children especially liked them. To prove their love for the bees, they ate them all! Meow meow meow~~~

Zhang Tan winked at Huang Mianberry. Huang Mianberry's expression changed. She thought Zhang Tan was asking her to pay the bill, so she quickly pretended not to see it.

Ordering is fine, but paying? Sorry, it's hard to obey.

At the same time, she felt resentful in her heart, feeling that she had seen through Zhang Tan's trick. This guy deliberately asked her to order, so now she was asked to pay the bill. Good people may not be smart, but bad people must be cunning.

Zhang Tan kicked her under the table and gestured with his mouth.

Huang Liangliang dug out her bag and cried out, indicating that she really had no money.

Zhang Tan sighed, leaned into her ear and said, "Hai~Clan~Guan~"

Huang Liangliang suddenly understood, and secretly reflected on herself. Although Zhang Tan was a scumbag, he was only a scumbag emotionally. He was still very good as a friend, and it was generous to treat guests to dinner. Although he was down and out, the old Zhang family used to be a wealthy family, and he was as skinny as a camel. Bigger than Ma, not to mention there are relatives who are high officials in the family.

I glanced at the children who were drinking water from a children's sippy cup. The two children were restless when drinking water. They were laughing and playing.

"Ah, Zhang Tan, I want to go to the Aquarium. Please let me go."

Zhang Tan immediately raised his little head when he saw Xiao Bai playing around, looked at Huang Liangliang curiously, quickly looked away, pretending to be casual and said: "Isn't this good? What's so fun about the aquarium? Don't you think so?" Want to eat fish?"

Huang Liangliang said: "The aquarium is so fun. There are dolphins, salamanders, whales, sunfish, penguins, polar bears, and chubby seals. Whatever you want to see is there." "

Xiaobai held the sippy cup and looked at her intently, then secretly glanced at Zhang Tan, only to hear Zhang Tan say in embarrassment: "But there is no time, I have to send Xiaobai and Xiaomi back."

Huang Liangliang lowered her head and met the eyes of Xiaobai who was looking over, and asked: "Xiaobai, don't you and Xiaomi have time?"

Xiaobai nodded quickly while holding the straw in his mouth.

Huang Liangliang said disappointedly: "I really don't have time? I really want to go to the aquarium."

Xiaobai quickly shook his head, spit out the straw, freed up his small mouth, firmly seized the opportunity, and said: "Yes, yes, yes~~yes."

Huang Liangliang asked in surprise: "Do you have time?"

Xiaobai nodded and quickly pulled Xiaomi to remind Xiaomi to speak quickly.

Xiaomi also said: "I also have time, Thi."

Huang Liangliang said to Zhang Tan in a funny voice, "You heard it, both Xiaobai and Xiaomi have time."

Zhang Tan said: "Although we have time, if Xiaobai and Xiaomi don't like to go to the aquarium, forget it. Today we are accompanying the children."

Huang Liangliang didn't need to ask, Xiaobai had already taken the lead.

"I like it~Uncle, I like giant pandas."

Huang Liangliang asked Xiaomi: "Where is Xiaomi?"

Xiaomi said: "I like giraffes."

Zhang Tan frowned and looked at the two little girls. Why did he feel that they were stupid? How could there be giant pandas and giraffes in the aquarium? Are they drowning?

He was stared at by three girls. It seemed that after a fierce mental struggle, he finally agreed: "Okay, let's go to the aquarium."

Bah~ Xiaobai looked at him blankly, and when he loosened his grip, the straw cup fell under the table.

The child quickly jumped off the chair to pick it up, then jumped on the spot with great restraint, and said to Huang Liangliang seriously: "Miss, there are dogs and big cats in the aquarium."

Just now when Huang Liangliang was taking stock of the little animals, she wanted to interrupt. How could she miss two such important little cuties?
