Back to 1993

Huo Xiaojiao still hadn't calmed down, she kept silent, and her face was sullen and full of anger while eating.

Gu Zhengdong peeked at her, thought it was cute, and didn't want her to be sullen, so he gave her a slight wink.

Unexpectedly, Huo Xiaojiao caught it, and suddenly blushed, and hurriedly lowered her head to forcefully eat the rice.

"It seems that today's dishes are suitable for Xiaojiao's appetite." Director Huo only saw one, not the other, and was quite proud.

Min Lan's attention was all on Xiao Xiao, and seeing her gradually relax, she also smiled.

After eating, Min Lan immediately turned on the TV.

"Wow!" Xiao Xiao exclaimed, it was a color TV.

In those days, most of the TVs occupying each house were black and white TVs, but they were bigger than before.

And the real economically powerful families, like the Huo family, where all three members have jobs, will buy color TVs.The price of Panasonic and Hitachi is more than 3000, while Sony is much more expensive, and it will cost [-] to find a way.

Huo's TV is a 21-inch Sony color TV. At this time, the cartoon "Tom and Jerry" is playing, and all the little attention is attracted.

Min Lan took the opportunity to move a small bench and handed it over, Xiaoxiao sat down obediently, and began to watch TV seriously.

"Thank you all, then I'm leaving." Seeing that Xiao Xiao didn't pay attention, Gu Zhengdong heaved a sigh of relief, stood up, and wanted to take the opportunity to sneak back to work.

"You can go now. You have to say hello to the child and tell her that you will come back at night, otherwise the child will think that you have abandoned her. It is not suitable for her to do so when she is so fragile."

Min Lan chased after her and ordered.

"Going back to live? I won't bother you. I'm very grateful for you helping me take care of Xiaoxiao! I'll pick her up early tomorrow." Gu Zhengdong hastily declined.

"We are not for you, but for the children. I hope you can understand what I mean." Min Lan sighed silently, probably feeling tired talking nonsense with these ignorant people.

Gu Zhengdong was quite hit. He was weak in education and psychology, so he should listen to professionals. Obedience is the best cooperation at this time.

"Xiao Xiao, Dad will go home and clean up the house, you can wait for Dad here, okay?" Gu Zhengdong went to do some small work.

"Xiaoxiao also goes home with Dad." Xiaoxiao stood up, still not willing to move his eyes away from the screen, and grinned at Tom and Jerry's antics from time to time.

"Xiaoxiao is here to watch TV and wait for Dad, okay?"

"Will Dad come back?"

"Yes, don't worry, little one!"

When Gu Zhengdong went out, it was obvious that Min Lan was very satisfied with his performance.

"Shall I help?" Huo Xiaojiao asked as she sent him off.

"Don't! If you get fleas on you again, your parents will go crazy!"

Gu Zhengdong was taken aback, and Huo Xiaojiao was amused by his exaggerated expression.

Gu Zhengdong returned home quickly, the workers worked overtime and had already cleared the yard.

He first dealt with the source of the fleas, Dahei.

He had thoroughly cleaned and disinfected the house before, and the children washed and rinsed every day, and he was very concerned about personal hygiene.

However, Gu Zhengdong forgot about the dog.

Living in a one-story house is very humid during the rainy season, and the dog is lying around everywhere, and the yard is full of waste products, so it is not surprising that Dahei has parasites on his body.

Now that it can no longer be left at home, Gu Zhengdong took Dahei to the factory and sprinkled 66 powder on him.

"Dahei, you are the one who takes care of the house."

Gu Zhengdong originally said that he wanted to hire a watchman, but Lao Hei volunteered to take the job, which was an extra one hundred yuan a month.

Seeing that Gu Zhengdong sent a dog, he was quite happy.

Back home, Gu Zhengdong sprinkled medicinal powder on the floor of the house and yard, and removed and washed the bedding.Today was special, he was afraid that it would be too choking and bad for his health after spraying the medicine powder, so he told Grandma Bai not to stay at home.

Grandma Bai went to Director Feng's house to spend the night, and San'er Silly also went to the factory.

With two houses and an empty yard, Gu Zhengdong was the only one left. Since he was reborn, he was noisy every day.

He was still a little unaccustomed to the sudden desertion. He missed the child and Grandma Bai, and unconsciously thought of Huo Xiaojiao.

"Oh man! j!" he sighed.

It was almost done here, so he quickly locked the door and went out to the bathroom.It is impossible for him to go to Huo's house with the smell of 66 powder medicine.

"You love cleanliness too much, you wash twice a day." The eldest sister in the bath couldn't help being happy when she saw him coming again.

Gu Zhengdong didn't have time to be poor with her, so he went in and had a quick wash, and then rushed to Huo's house when he came out.

When he was downstairs, he heard Xiaoxiao crying, not loudly, beeping, as if she was tired from crying.

He rushed upstairs in three steps at a time. As soon as he knocked, the door opened, and Huo Xiaojiao was waiting at the door.

Looking at the room again, Min Lan was walking around on the ground with Xiao Xiao in her arms. Director Huo was wearing a sheet and holding a rattle, trying to make Xiao Xiao laugh.

Gu Zhengdong was moved and funny, he quickly reached out to pick up Xiao Xiao.

As soon as he saw his father coming, light came from his little eyes, and he threw himself into his arms, with tears still in his eyes, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Look, we didn't lie, dad will come back." Huo Xiaojiao said hurriedly.

"That's right. After eating watermelon, the little guy is tired and I'm sweating." Min Lan turned and went into the kitchen.

Seeing Gu Zhengdong, Xiao Xiao already felt safe, and regained her childlike character, twisted her body to prevent him from hugging her, slipped to the ground, and went to stare at the TV again.

Director Huo and Min Lan each brought out a square plate, which contained neatly sliced ​​watermelons.

"I don't even know what to say, I have caused you so much trouble!" Gu Zhengdong was sweating.

"Then don't say it." Huo Xiaojiao scolded him, and stuffed a piece of watermelon.

The child stopped making trouble, and Min Lan was in a good mood. When she whispered to Director Huo, Gu Zhengdong heard a few words, all of which were memories of their youth, because Xiaoxiao was very similar to Huo Xiaojiao back then.

It's almost time, Min Lan came over to turn off the TV, she squatted in front of Xiaoxiao, and said softly, "Xiaoxiao, grandpa, grandpa and auntie have to go to work tomorrow, and they have to go to bed early, shall we turn off the TV?"

Xiao Xiao immediately nodded, ran over by himself, and pressed the switch.

"Xiaoxiao is so smart, just take a look!" Min Lan couldn't help boasting.

"Grandma, I love you." Xiaoxiao threw herself into her arms after turning off the TV, kissed her on the cheek, and said softly.

"Haha, who did you learn this from?" Min Lan could only describe it as being elated at this moment, with wrinkles on her face.

"I don't know." Gu Zhengdong didn't expect that Xiao Xiao would say that.

"Du Junsheng taught me that when he said he liked someone, he had to tell her that I love you." When Xiaoxiao mentioned Du Junsheng's name, her eyes darkened. Although she didn't quite understand what happened, she also I can feel that I am about to lose this friend.

"Who is Du Junsheng?" Huo Xiaojiao was curious, and continued to ask Xiaoxiao.

"Sleep, we'll talk later." Min Lan watched the child's micro-expression very playfully, seeing that Xiao Xiao had a knot in her heart, and immediately interrupted Huo Xiaojiao's words.

At night, Gu Zhengdong and Xiao Xiao slept on the sofa.Huo's family has a lot of benches, so a row is added beside the three-seater sofa, and two single-seat sofas are pushed over to clamp it, which is still very stable.

Seeing the bed being built like this, Xiao Xiao was excited again, and stepped on it, refusing to sleep.

"Don't disturb grandma and the others, they have to go to work tomorrow, it's very hard." Gu Zhengdong could only coax Xiao Xiao in a low voice.

Fortunately, Xiaoxiao was sensible, and was tired during the day, so she arched in his arms a few times and fell asleep.

There were too many things that happened that day, and Gu Zhengdong was tall, so he slept on the sofa rather short, it was really hard to lie down, so he slowly sat up.

The living room is connected to the balcony, and a piece of moonlight came in, so he couldn't help but walk over.

"You haven't slept yet?"
