Chapter 102 Go to bed quickly
Stroking the ceramic ornament in his hand, Xu Mingyuan didn't know what to feel. After all the fuss, it finally came into his hands.
Little Yangzhi sat aside and watched Xu Mingyuan fiddling with the ceramic deer.
The news on TV was almost halfway through. When she returned home, she saw her brother sitting on the sofa in a daze. She didn't know how much her brother liked this little toy.
"Little Yangzhi."
"Ah."
"Take it."
Xu Mingyuan handed over the ceramic deer.
"Are you going to give it to me?"
Yang Zhi confirmed that it was the first time she saw her brother caring so much about an object.
"What else can I do? I can throw it away. This is the reward my teacher gave me for my hard work on the exercises." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
If I leave it in his hands, he might forget about it one day. If it gets bumped again, it will sooner or later become a memory.
Xiao Yangzhi is careful and knows better than Xu Mingyuan where to keep the items.
"Thank you, brother."
Yang Zhi smiled, held the ceramic deer in her hand, and felt the remaining warmth on it.
It was not until the ceramic cooled down that Yang Zhi remembered that it was easy to drop it if she held it, so she hurried back to the room.
Making room on the small square bookshelf, Yang Zhi stood on tiptoe and stuffed the ornaments in.
But then I felt that it was too close to the inside and my view was blocked, so I moved outside.
Finally, he took out all the books in the small compartments and put them in the cabinet, and then he found some of his own little dolls and placed them there.
After some careful decoration, it finally looked like a little girl's room.
Yang Zhi quietly crouched down to the door only after he felt that it was ready.
Taking advantage of the moment when Xu Mingyuan got up to drink water, he walked out of the room, jumped onto the sofa with light steps, and fell on his brother.
Xu Mingyuan reached out to support her and steadied the cup of water on the coffee table.
Seeing that no one intended to blame her, Yang Zhi gently took off her slippers, folded her legs, and lay sideways on the sofa.
The sofa is less than two meters long and cannot accommodate two people lying together.
Xiao Yangzhi took the seat, so Xu Mingyuan had to sit there.
The teacher said that you should not lie down while reading or watching TV. This is a bad habit and is not good for your spine.
Yang Zhi remembered this sentence.
Seeing that Xu Mingyuan didn't care, he found a pretty good excuse for himself and moved forward little by little.
Xu Mingyuan's ribs were tickled by Xiao Yangzhi's head. He lowered his head and saw a pair of big eyes that revealed innocence.
"What are you doing in the cricket pupa? You look like a maggot." Xu Mingyuan asked.
"..."
Yang Zhi was stunned, her face flushed with embarrassment.
Just as he was about to get up, his head was pushed down and he lay on Xu Mingyuan's legs.
Yang Zhi was too embarrassed to answer because he had already achieved his goal.
Now little Yangzhi finally behaved himself. Xu Mingyuan changed the channel and continued watching TV.
Yang Zhi was also watching TV. The TV screen kept changing colors in her eyes. The sound just entered her left ear and came out of her right ear. She didn't understand what was being said on TV.
"I haven't laid like this for a long time..."
Yang Zhi thought for a long time and explained in a low voice.
"Just lie down if you're tired. No one's stopping you."
Xu Mingyuan said casually.
"Oh."
Yang Zhi got a positive answer, and her heartbeat, which had slowed down a little, started beating again.
"Do you want to eat sugar-roasted chestnuts?"
Xu Mingyuan asked.
"Um……"
Yang Zhi frowned, not knowing how to answer. She wanted to refuse, but she had bought the sugar-roasted chestnuts herself.
When Xu Mingyuan heard her say "hmm", he unscrewed the chestnut shell and placed it in front of Xiao Yangzhi.
Yang Zhi didn't expect this to happen. As soon as the thought of getting up came to her mind, she forgot it.
Seeing that she didn't react, Xu Mingyuan stuffed it directly into her mouth.
Yang Zhi was stunned, holding the chestnut in his mouth blankly. After putting the next chestnut into his mouth, he finally remembered to chew it. As his mouth chewed faster and faster, until his cheeks were bulging, he begged for mercy in a vague voice: "Brother, I can't eat anymore..."
"Hehehe..."
Xu Mingyuan smiled and stopped teasing her.
After she finished eating, Xu Mingyuan handed her a green date while watching TV, but Xiao Yangzhi secretly took it away like a hamster.
……
The year 04 was calm and peaceful, not as turbulent as the year 03.
From the SARS at the beginning of the year to the US-Iran crisis in the middle of the year, and finally the Shenzhou V landed smoothly.
There is always endless news to tell, driving history forward.
The favorite show on TV is the war in the Middle East. Xu Mingyuan has no interest in this aspect. It seems like there is constant gunfire, but in fact it is just a security war with hammers here and sticks there, which is as confusing as cat and mouse.
The question raised is whether there will be a fourth oil crisis. The experts on TV showed carefully prepared PPTs and talked nonsense in a serious manner.
Xu Mingyuan vaguely remembered that crude oil would rise to a new high in the near future.
But for futures, without an exact time, Xu Mingyuan didn't dare to get involved.
The one dollar and eighty cents in his pocket is not enough to make a difference in the futures market. He will be wiped out at the slightest disturbance.
But the topic raised by oil made Xu Mingyuan more interested.
The story of green energy is always repeated, but the more it is mentioned, the more it shows the importance of energy security.
Then a not-so-eye-catching piece of news was broadcast: the automobile industry development policy will cease to be implemented from now on.
This sentence means that private enterprises can finally apply for licenses on their own without having to be affiliated with state-owned enterprises.
In the future, large sums of money will be invested in support.
No matter what you do, it is right to follow the policy. This window is short, but it is already very long for Xu Mingyuan.
This kind of news, which seems mundane but is related to everyone's daily life, always slips away quickly without being noticed.
What Xu Mingyuan needs to do is to grasp these points, and if they are useful to him, he will find a way to take advantage of them.
……
After reading it, Xu Mingyuan threw a dried fruit into his mouth and then put it on his legs.
After seeing no movement for a long time, I lowered my head and saw that Xiao Yangzhi had fallen asleep at some point.
Xu Mingyuan lay on his back and turned down the TV volume.
The temperature in Nanxi at the end of May is neither too hot nor too cold, and it is slightly cool at night.
But a thin layer of sweat had already seeped out of Xiao Yangzhi's forehead, and his brows were furrowed. I don't know what nightmare he was having again.
This little girl has never felt safe since she was a child. Xu Mingyuan once wanted to take her to see a doctor to see if she had any psychological problems.
But seeing that Xiao Yangzhi was getting better day by day, he gave up the idea and tried not to put pressure on her.
Xiao Yangzhi was sleeping so soundly that she didn't even notice Xu Mingyuan sitting up.
Normally, the slightest sound Xu Mingyuan made when he got up at night to go to the bathroom would wake her up.
I touched the sweat on her forehead and felt that I couldn't let her sleep here anymore.
He reached out to hold her neck, passed her legs through her, and with a little force, he lifted her up.
Xiao Yangzhi is not short, at least 1.65 meters tall, and looks taller than Tao Shuxin.
But her weight was very light. Xu Mingyuan felt that she just weighed 90 kilograms. Considering her height, another 20 kilograms would be within the standard weight.
This is almost a year of feeding, it would have been much easier in the past. I don't know where she gets so much worry from, she is exhausted every day.
The door of Xiao Yangzhi's room was not locked. Xu Mingyuan barely reached out to open the door and walked in carrying her.
Yang Zhi opened her eyes dazedly, feeling a little bewildered, but she quickly realized what had happened. She buried her head and didn't dare to speak.
"woke up?"
"Um……"
Yang Zhi nodded stiffly and let Xu Mingyuan cover herself with the quilt.
With the light from the living room, Yang Zhi saw him groping for the switch and said in panic, "Brother, no, don't turn on the light. Uh, um... it's dazzling..."
"Don't get up if you're sleepy. There's some water here. Just rinse your mouth and go to sleep." Xu Mingyuan said.
"Brother..." Seeing Xu Mingyuan was about to close the door, Yang Zhi, perhaps in a daze, asked in a mysterious way: "Will you abandon me?"
"Why are you thinking about these things? Didn't I tell you a long time ago? Even if my father doesn't care about you, I will still raise you. Go to bed quickly."
Xu Mingyuan frowned and scolded.
"Oh……"
Yang Zhi hid his entire face in the quilt, leaving only his eyes exposed, and responded in a muffled voice.
