Nine months later, state h, nine o'clock District time.
White hours with the TV on, egg in the kitchen, mobile phone video on hands-free aside.
"You're going to have stewed eggs tonight?" Qin Su asked her helplessly.
"Well." Bai Xiao reluctantly lengthened the tune, "the homework here is too tight. It's not easy to take half a month's quarterly holiday, and I have to catch up with a 15000 character paper. Today, I went to the library to look for books all day, and my brain was going to explode."
"I think you can apply for a rest. It's a big deal. I'll make up for the homework in two months." Qin Su Su worried back, "you stew the eggs, show me your stomach."
"You wait." White hours turn around, add some water and salt to the glass bowl, stir well, put on the pot rack.
Turn back and lift up his loose pajamas to show Qin Susu his stomach.
"You're not pregnant, are you?" Qin Susu couldn't bear to look directly at Bai Xiao's big stomach and said, "it's frightening. Don't others say that the first baby doesn't show its stomach?"
"I don't know." White hours helplessly back.
Qin Su Su is more distressed, "and you look at you, while taking care of themselves in class, they are thin adult dry, children grow so big, all your nutrition sucked away."
"I'm not used to the food here." White hours can not help but sigh, "every day is French fries, bread, beef, even lettuce are very few."
"Either you've eaten too much beef and your fat has become muscle." Qin Su rolled his eyes and returned.
……
Bai Xiao grabs the phone, goes to the TV and turns down the sound.
"Now the news of Li Nanshao and Jiang Yan'er's engagement is overwhelming. I'm fed up with it. You don't have any news there, do you?" Qin and Su had another way.
Bai Xiao looked at the pictures on TV. Li's family has a great influence here, and has been on the entertainment news several times.
Although Li Nan Shuo and Jiang Yan'er's photos are mosaic, and their names are typed with letters, Bai Xiao can see that they are.
"Guess what." She came back faintly.
"If they get married, you won't have to worry about gain and loss all day long." Qin Su said in a strange way.
"If you don't scold them, you'll feel sick." White hours still face calm back, "OK, don't say, you don't have to go to work? I don't get up yet. "
"Honey, it's the weekend! You are too stupid! Speaking of Lu Xiao, I'd like to ask, when will he come to accompany you? You're about to be born. He'll let you go alone. "
Bai Xiao wants to say that Lu Xiao is also very busy. It's not easy to come to see her once a month.
"Don't worry about salty radish. I won't tell you. After dinner, I have to go to the convenience store for night shift." Bai Xiao finished and hung up.
She brought out the stewed eggs, added some soy sauce, added some rice, mixed a few times, and ate directly.
The fog rising from the stewed egg made her eyes a little blurred.
At ten o'clock, I went out on time and walked to the convenience store about one kilometer away from her home.
When I got there, I was too tired to breathe.
Seeing that her face was a little ugly, the convenience store owner cared about her and said, "Lilith, are you feeling sick? Your face is so bad. I think you've got a lot of stomachache recently. It must be hard for you to sit here. Why don't you come in these two months? "
A woman with a stomach, in school, will inevitably be discriminated against and criticized by others.
Here, the most concerned person in the dialogue hour is the convenience store owner's wife.
White hours toward her gentle smile, "it's OK, if I can't hold any day, say hello to you in advance."
"Is it really OK?" The landlady asked her with concern.
"Nothing." Bai Xiao shakes his head, squeezes into the cashier and sits on the chair inside.
Seeing her insistence, the landlady couldn't say anything, so she turned to clean up her things.
"These days, there is always a handsome man with an oriental face wandering around us. He has bought things in our store several times. I think there are only a few Oriental people living near here. Maybe they are looking for you?"
Bai Xiao was stunned and turned to ask her, "how tall is she? Is the skin white or black? "
"He's not tall or short. He's a little bit black. He's not as white as you are anyway. He hasn't been shopping at night. If he continues to come tomorrow in the daytime, I may ask who he's looking for."
I'm not tall. I'll be at ease when I'm young.
Li Nan Shuo's height, compared with westerners, is also relatively high.
"Ask, who is it really?" She looked back calmly.
"Well, I'll go. I'll come and change you at six tomorrow morning." With that, the landlady opened the door and left.
A few minutes after the landlady left, it began to rain.At the beginning, it was drizzling, but at the end, it was raining harder and harder.
In the middle of the night, few people came in to buy things for two or three hours. The road was empty and there were few cars passing by.
The rainy season is coming in H country. It seems that business will be worse in the evening.
Bai Xiao was a little tired sitting on the chair. He stretched the chair specially made by the landlady and half lay on it to have a rest.
Just lying down for a few minutes, I heard the music coming from the door.
Holding the edge of the chair, she struggled to stand up and saw a yellow and black man about 1.75 meters tall standing behind the counter, looking at her.
"Can I help you, sir?" When she saw that the man didn't go to the shelf to choose things, she thought about it and asked him, "do you want to buy hot coffee?"
This person should be the Oriental who often wanders around recently, as the landlady said.
Fortunately, she didn't know.
"A cup of coffee, no milk, two pieces of sugar." The other side answered her in standard Mandarin.
Bai Xiao frowned in surprise. The other party knew that she was from a country.
There are at least ten countries in the East with yellow skin. How can he judge at once that she is a Chinese?
"I heard your landlady say that she has a shop assistant, like me, from Empire A." The man smiles at Bai Xiao.
Bai Xiao knew that he had overreacted a little. He laughed awkwardly and turned to fill him with coffee.
After handing the coffee to the man, Bai Xiao suddenly noticed an unusual detail.
Men stand straight, normal people will not stand so straight, like, in the army for a long time.
She slowly gave him the change and handed it to the man. At the same time, she suddenly asked him in a low voice, "are you looking for someone? I know almost all the Oriental people around here. Maybe I can help you. "
