90s, The Cannon Fodder Wife of the Paranoid Boss is Reborn

Chapter 134 The boss called

Bai Lu carried a vegetable basket and went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.

Before leaving, I asked Xiao Wei if he wanted to go with her. In recent days, the little guy has suddenly changed a lot. Whenever he is free, he will go shopping with her and help her carry the grocery basket.

Today I refused without hesitation.

Bai Lu was surprised and looked toward the main room where the sound came from.

The little figure was sitting upright in front of the Eight Immortals Table, doing homework. Opposite the Eight Immortals Table was a high table with a new white telephone on it. The little figure wrote his homework for a while, then looked up at the white telephone.

 Afraid of missing some important event.

 Bai Lu didn’t change at all after she came back from shopping for groceries.

 After washing the dishes and returning to the kitchen, the little figure remained motionless, like a sculpture carved on the table of the Eight Immortals.

Is it because I have too much homework, or the phone looks too good, or I miss Xiao Cheng too much?

But Xiao Cheng often didn't go home before... Could it be that there was some urgent matter that he wanted to talk to Xiao Cheng?

Bai Lu couldn't think of a reason, so she went back to the kitchen to cut vegetables. As soon as she finished cutting the vegetables, Xiao Wei came in.

Without saying a word, he sat down in front of the stove to light the fire.

 Return to the diligent appearance of the past in one second.

Bai Lu looked at him from top to bottom and asked softly: "Were you bullied at school?"

  Xiao Wei shook his head: "No."

Bai Lu thought about it, who didn't know that his brother was Xiao Cheng, and who wouldn't be quick to look for him.

"Then do you have something important to tell your brother?" Bai Lu asked out of curiosity while cooking.

Xiao Wei looked serious: "There is a man in the house."

Bai Lu: “…”

 Pour a spoonful of salt all over the pot.

Hey guys, let’s eat salted fish together!

 “They are here to install the telephone.”

 “He is a man.”

“It was Brother You who asked someone to install the phone.”

“So I want to tell my elder brother that the phone is installed.” The little bald man looked upright and serious.

Bai Lu suspected that his statement was a complaint.

Sure enough, the suspicion was confirmed in the evening.

"Jingle Bell-"

The night is getting thicker, and Bai Lu is twisting the last piece of freshly washed clothes by the well in the front yard. A clear and melodious bell rings in the main house, penetrating the dark night and touching people's hearts.

Xiao Wei took a shower first and hung up his clothes before running out in a panic.

“Sister-in-law, is the phone ringing?”

Bai Lu couldn’t laugh or cry: “Yes, it’s so loud, can’t you hear it?”

Xiao Wei was at a loss and touched the hairless head of his head, and grabbed his clothes tightly. His voice was full of uncontrollable excitement: "Did brother call back?"

“Yes, only your brother knows your home phone number. Who else knows your home phone number?”

Bai Lu carried the clothes in the bucket to the corridor to dry: "Hurry up and answer the phone. Listen to your brother's voice on the phone. Is it the same as when he was at home?"

Xiao Wei turned around quickly and turned back as soon as he took a step forward: "Then what should I say first?"

"Hmm..." Bai Lu held the clothes pole in her hand and thought for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Let's say hello first."

 The little guy nodded and ran back immediately.

The phone rang again and again, and the uninterrupted ringing seemed to show how anxious the owner on the other end of the phone was.

Just as my little hand was about to touch the long white receiver, the phone suddenly stopped ringing.

The little body looked like it had been struck by lightning, standing stiffly on the spot, with a puzzled and nervous face on its face.

Is the eldest brother impatient after waiting too long?

The little figure followed suit and went back to the corridor to find Bai Lu. He lowered his head as if he had done something wrong: "The phone didn't ring. Brother must be angry."

"No." Bai Lu comforted and patted the little guy on the shoulder: "The phone also has a rest period. After ringing a few times and no one listens, it will end automatically. The caller needs to dial again before it will continue to ring. Hang up the phone, it’s not because your brother doesn’t want to call anymore.”

"Really?"

 Xiao Wei raised his head and his eyes slowly regained their brightness.

Bai Lu knows a lot of things. What Bai Lu says is never wrong. What Bai Lu says is definitely right.

Bai Lu nodded in the little guy's expectant eyes: "Really, go back to the Eight Immortals table and sit and wait. Otherwise, when your brother calls back later and no one answers, he will think that no one is at home and that none of us are free. , he will change the time very late and call back..." The words just finished.

 The sound rang out again in the main room.

"Jingle Bell-"

Bai Lu’s words came true.

Xiao Wei was shaken all over. He didn't know whether he was too nervous or too excited. He stood motionless.

Bai Lu pushed his small shoulder: "Go quickly."

 The little figure flew back to the main house with a "swish".

The white telephone receiver was quickly picked up by a small hand and placed next to his bare little ear.

 There was no sound.

Xiao Wei's mind went blank. He held the receiver tightly and stood upright in front of the high table. He had completely forgotten what he wanted to say.

 Until, on the other end of the phone, a man's low and magnetic words came: "Hello..."

 The familiar sound hit the eardrum unexpectedly, instantly waking up the excited and overly nervous little head.

"Hello!"

 Finally I remembered the greetings from Bailu Cult.

Xiao Wei listened to the man's voice on the phone, his heart and eyes filled with joy.

 Brother called him!

 Brother called him for the first time!

 “Where is Bailu?”

A basin of cold water poured over Xiao Wei from head to toe. His whole body was completely chilled, from his ears to his heels.

He was so shocked that he had to answer: "I'm hanging clothes."

 There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment.

 A moment of silence spread from both ends of the phone.

I don’t know how long it took, but the voice came from the receiver again: “Are you done drying it?”

  Xiao Wei: “…”

"not yet."

 There was another silence for an unknown amount of time.

Xiao Wei looked back and saw Bai Lu coming over before she had finished drying her clothes. The hand that wasn't holding the phone squeezed the edge of the table, and the other little hand squeezed the phone tightly, squeezing it again and again.

 “A man came to the house today.”

The silent receiver immediately heard a man’s voice: “Who?”

 “The one who installs telephones.”

  Xiao Cheng: “…”

 Silent again, Xiao Wei paused and continued: "I came back from school in the afternoon and heard my neighbor chatting and saying that our chestnuts had a new market. They were a couple who drove a tricycle to pick up the goods in the morning."

 Xiao Cheng gave one word without hesitation: "Oh."

Xiao Wei really wanted to continue chatting, but he couldn't find a topic to talk about: "I'm going to see if sister-in-law has dried the clothes."

"Um."

 Leaving no one behind.

 The little bald man ran away covering his sad face.

 “Sister-in-law, sister-in-law!”

As soon as Bai Lu finished drying her clothes and put the bucket back in the shower room, she saw a running figure next to her legs.

The little figure raised his bald little head, his big eyes full of resentment, pursed his lips and said: "Brother asked you to answer the phone."

Bai Lu looked puzzled: "I don't have anything to say, just chat with him. Didn't you really want to talk to your brother just now? Why didn't you chat for a while?"

 classmate Xiaowei’s eyes became even more resentful: “I’m done chatting, you go and talk to big brother.”
