With the appearance of the fish tank, the huge courtyard finally had one more permanent resident.
This anglerfish's head was very big, so when the little guy asked what it should be called, Chen Xi decisively gave it a name — —
Big Head.
It was especially vivid and vivid. At the same time, it sounded like it complemented the two words "big cat" …
"Big Head?"
Because her vocabulary was too small, after the little one whispered the name in her mouth, she said with a happy face, "Big Head sounds good! This is Big Cat, this is Big Head! Fish, fish, you'll be called Big Head from now on! Okay? "
Big Head was a deep-sea fish and had never been in contact with humans, so it naturally didn't understand what the little one was saying.
However, although it didn't understand what the little one was saying, the Big Cat next to it understood.
So, it immediately rolled its eyes in a very human-like way.
It was obviously a cat, but its eyes revealed a very disdainful feeling.
Such a proud performance in the eyes of Chen Xi naturally couldn't avoid giving it a slap …
After settling Big Head, the family of three faced the late spring sun and leisurely walked out of the teahouse.
After not coming back for two months, a light layer of dust had already accumulated in the teahouse. The couple rolled up their sleeves and began to clean.
As for the little girl, she slipped into her own children's playground and happily played with building blocks by herself.
However, she didn't play for long before there was a sudden burst of shouting outside the teahouse.
"Niannian! Niannian! We're here! "
After not seeing each other for a long time, the two brothers were not polite at all. After each of them pushed open a glass door, the two brothers jumped into the teahouse side by side.
Gu Lao thought that the two brothers would wait for the old man to enter before letting go. He didn't expect that just as he walked to the door, the glass door had already bounced back and almost hit him in the face.
"This troublesome child …"
Seeing this, Gu Lao helplessly shook his head, then opened the door and greeted Chen Xi and his wife.
As usual, after making a pot of tea, Chen Xi played Go with the old man.
The three little things were making a ruckus in the children's playground. Qin Ruoying turned on the stereo and played some soothing light music. Then, she picked up a book called "Collection of Flowers" and sat in the booth next to the children's playground.
In this warm spring season, this small teahouse hidden in the corner of Houhai had a kind of leisurely and carefree atmosphere. At the same time, it was relaxed and lively.
Unfortunately, although the teahouse was good, it rarely had customers.
Today was not the weekend, so it was not until Gu Lao brought the two brothers home for lunch that the door of the teahouse was finally pushed open.
He was still not a guest.
The little fellow looked up. Wasn't this person Qiao Yuan, whom he hadn't seen for a long time?
She didn't contact Chen Xi in advance, but she didn't expect that she would 'coincidentally' rush over on the first day of the teahouse's opening.
If I remember correctly, Beijing Normal University is not that close to Houhai, right?
Why did she just happen to wander over?
"Boss … I …"
Qiao Yuan had just walked into the teahouse when she looked up and saw Chen Xi and his family sitting around a tea table preparing to eat.
Therefore, she immediately lowered her head in embarrassment. She felt like she was here to freeload.
"Sister, you're here?! Let's eat! Come, come! "
The little fellow waved the chopsticks in his hand and shouted excitedly.
In fact, since the end of the winter vacation, Qiao Yuan would visit Houhai every day. She wanted to come over and help when the teahouse opened.
She didn't know why she liked to come here.
Repaying kindness was only one reason.
On the other hand, it was probably because of the boss' family of three.
Although the boss didn't look much older than her, he always gave people the feeling that he had seen the world. Coupled with the knowledgeable and virtuous lady boss, as well as the lively and cute little guy, Qiao Yuan always wanted to follow them around and learn from them in detail.
This was not homework, nor was it work. It was an attitude towards life.
As the saying goes, one is marked by the company one keeps. Birds of a feather flock together.
Qiao Yuan felt that she might have met the light in her life. Unknowingly, she was influenced by the husband and wife, which caused her to have a change from the inside out.
This change wasn't obvious, but hidden.
Perhaps it would be many years later that she would truly realize what she had learned as a waitress here …
Although the teahouse didn't need to hire waiters, Chen Xi obviously couldn't just chase them away.
Therefore, after Qiao Yuan repeatedly promised that she wouldn't fall behind in her homework, Chen Xi finally gave her the keys to the teahouse.
From now on, she would be the shopkeeper here.
…
An ordinary and leisurely day passed just like that.
Qiao Yuan took some time to go to school to get her suitcase. Then, she once again moved into the courtyard.
As soon as she stepped through the Drooping Flower Gate, she saw the huge fish tank and the big cat that was lying on top of the fish tank and kept meowing into the tank.
Every time the Big Cat meowed, Big Head would immediately spit out a series of bubbles as if it was responding to it.
The fish and the cat were communicating in a way that was completely incomprehensible to humans.
'Is this a anglerfish?'
The moment she saw the fish, such a question appeared in Qiao Yuan's mind.
If she remembered correctly, the anglerfish should not have scales, right?
This fish …
What kind of fish was it?
Why did it feel a little strange?
Although Qiao Yuan felt that it was a little strange, she didn't ask much.
She had already made up her mind to follow the boss in the future. She would see more, learn more, and do more.
Although she was only a waitress in the teahouse, when she held the keys to the teahouse, a fighting spirit ignited in her heart for no reason …
The peaceful and indifferent life kept repeating itself.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was summer.
This morning.
While the little girl was feeding the fish, Chen Xi quietly came to her side, and then asked mysteriously, "Niannian, come, daddy wants to ask you a question … Do you know what day it is tomorrow?"
Hearing this, the little girl tilted her head and thought for a while.
But after thinking for a long time, she still couldn't think of a reason, so she shook her head blankly.
"Think again?"
Chen Xi asked again.
But the little girl shook her head again.
Chen Xi had no choice but to cough lightly and remind her, "Today is May 5th …"
Hearing this, the little girl still didn't seem to react, and the expression on her face looked very cute.
"…"
Chen Xi was silent.
Then, he suddenly raised both hands, like a child, and shouted very exaggeratedly, "Today is your birthday! Are you happy! "
Birthday?
The little girl was obviously stunned, but then, as if nothing had happened, she turned around and continued to throw minced meat into the fish tank.
Big Head opened its bloody mouth, every time it swallowed a piece of minced meat, it happily turned around in the water.
And the Big Cat was lying on the side, and from time to time, it would poke its head out to snatch a piece of meat to eat. This behavior made Big Head so angry that it kept bubbling in its mouth.
This scene made Chen Xi stunned.
Strange.
Niannian's reaction was not right …
But after thinking about it, Chen Xi understood what was going on with the little girl.
