The silver-gray pressure cooker was placed on the cold gas stove for a long time.

It would not take long for the warm pressure cooker to become as cold as the stove.

Tang Qinqin and Tang Yun, mother and daughter, sat at the dining table, their expressions no longer as calm as before.

The two pairs of willow eyebrows, which were almost carved from the same mold, were extremely tightly frowned, and their eyes moved back and forth between the clock on the wall and the closed door, and their worries became deeper and deeper.

"Mom, it's this time, why hasn't my sister come back yet?"

Tang Qinqin pouted and asked worriedly.

"Mom doesn't know either."

Mother Tang frowned and looked up at the clock on the wall again.

Eight twenty.

According to her daughter's usual school time, she should be home at 7:30, but now it has been almost an hour since 7:30, and she has not come back yet.

Turning her head to look at the still closed door, Tang's mother asked:

"Did your sister tell you which classmate's house she was going to play at tonight?"

"No."

Tang Qinqin shook her head and said:

"Sister shouldn't go to a classmate's house without saying hello."

"And I told her this morning that mom would make delicious food in the evening and asked her to come back early. She nodded and agreed to me. She won't suddenly go to someone else's house to play."

After hearing Tang Qinqin's words, Tang's mother's brows were more worried.

After a while, seeing that the minute hand had pointed to the number six, Tang's mother finally couldn't help it.

She stood up, took off an old black cotton jacket from the hanger, put it on, and hurried out.

While putting on her shoes, she reminded Tang Qinqin in the house:

"Qinqin, wait for me at home. If your sister comes back, call me."

"I won't."

Tang Qinqin stood up from the plastic bench and said stubbornly:

"I want to go too."

At this time, Tang Yun had put on her shoes. She straightened up, frowned and looked at her daughter and asked:

"What are you going to do?"

"Be obedient."

"Wait at home obediently, otherwise your sister will come back and we will both be outside. Wouldn't we miss her?" ? "

"No."

Tang Qinqin shook her head. She took the mobile phone left by her sister at home and put it in her pocket. She put on her coat and said:

"If my sister comes back and finds that we are not at home, she will definitely call us on the landline."

"I won't miss it."

Seeing that she couldn't persuade her daughter, Tang's mother finally had no choice but to compromise and said:

"Wear more clothes, it's cold outside."

...

...

There was no wind in the dark night, but there was a biting cold everywhere.

Tang Qinqin pulled her cotton hat down again until the soft and warm cotton hat brim completely covered her ears. She hunched her shoulders and continued to walk towards the school in small steps.

The street lights were dim, shining on the remaining snow that had not yet melted.

Tang Qinqin looked left and right along the way. Fortunately, there were few people on the street due to the deep cold at night, so it was not difficult for her to find someone.

Very quickly.

In a park not far from home, Tang Qinqin saw a lonely figure sitting on a bench.

Walking towards the thin figure, she saw the school uniform of the third middle school on her body, and a surge of hope surged in her heart, and her steps could not help but speed up a little.

Walking closer, she saw the familiar black backpack beside the figure, and the stone in Tang Qinqin's heart finally fell.

She walked quickly to the side of the bench, looking at her sister who was slightly bowing her head, Tang Qinqin said with a little complaint in her tone:

"Sister, why are you staying here and not going home?"

Tang Manman finally took action after hearing this. She raised her head, and her small nose tip and delicate face were all red from the cold, but what attracted more attention was her eyelashes.

Her long and curled eyelashes were stiff and messy like ice spears at this time, and there were tiny and fine ice chips on them, which made people see at a glance how long she had been crying here.

Seeing her sister like this, Tang Qinqin panicked, and the resentment in her heart disappeared immediately.

She sat down next to Tang Manman, and wiped away the tears that had frozen on her cheeks with her hands.

Feeling her sister's cold skin that had been deprived of all its temperature by the cold wind, Tang Qinqin was very anxious. She frowned and asked:

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

"Did someone bully you?"

Tang Manman shook her head, the corners of her mouth trembled, and soon suppressed it. She sniffed, and tears quickly filled her red and swollen eyes.

"I'm sorry."

"Qinqin."

"I'm sorry..."

...

...

Under the street light at the entrance of the alley, the girl stood gracefully.

She lowered her head slightly, staring blankly at the corner of the wallThe white snow, which had not yet been polluted, had an inextricable sorrow between her brows.

A burst of hurried footsteps on the snow came from far away, bringing the girl back to her senses.

Seeing her mother walking quickly, she trotted to meet her.

"Where is your sister?"

After a while, Tang's mother's face was also red from the cold, but she obviously didn't care about it. She asked where Tang Manman was with a stern tone and a kind of anger that made people feel pressured.

"At home."

Tang Qinqin replied.

Seeing her mother rushing home, looking like she was going to settle accounts with her sister, Tang Qinqin quickly stopped her and said:

"Mom, wait a minute, wait a minute."

"What for?"

Tang's mother stopped and asked angrily.

"Mom, please don't be angry with your sister when you go home, okay?"

Tang Qinqin said with a begging tone:

"My sister is very sad today."

"She didn't do well in the exam, and she was afraid that you would scold her, so she hid in the park tonight and didn't dare to go home."

"I scolded her?"

"When did I scold her?"

Listening to her little daughter's words, Tang's mother felt a little wronged. Tang Manman had never scolded her since she was a child, and she had never even said a few words to her. When did she scold her?

Although she was going to scold her when she got home.

Not going home late at night.

It was too much to make the family worry!

Tang's mother was very angry, but when she heard that her baby daughter didn't do well in the exam and hid in the park and didn't dare to go home, she couldn't help but feel distressed.

At the same time, she was also very curious.

How many points did she get in this exam?

Why did she get a score that made her afraid to go home?

Tang's mother looked at her little daughter, took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and asked:

"How many places did your sister take this time?"

Tang Qinqin opened her mouth, wanting to say something but stopped. She pursed her lips and looked at her mother timidly, looking as if she got this ranking by herself.

"Hurry up!"

Tang's mother urged impatiently.

Under Tang's mother's urging, Tang Qinqin shrank her neck and said hesitantly:

"No. 57..."
