Beijing is getting hotter and hotter in August, and Tang’s father, Tang’s mother, and brother have all begun their summer vacation. Since the space in the teacher’s dormitory is really small and there are many people, the room becomes even hotter and stuffier, and the sugar baby often sleeps full. Head sweating profusely. And the most annoying thing is that the chirping of cicadas everywhere in Beijing is a bit unbearable. It starts chirping early in the morning, it is short at first, and when the sun rises, it changes to a long one, chirping, His voice was probably hoarse after shouting for a day, and the listeners were upset.

After discussion, Tang's father and Tang's mother decided to temporarily move to the Chen family with their two children. The house there was spacious, there were few people, and there was a large garden. When the weather was hot, you could hide under the shade of trees to enjoy the coolness. Besides, it's Mrs. Chen's birthday in a few days. If you go there in advance, you can help her celebrate her birthday.

Just as they said, the two of them packed up their things and handed the keys to the house to Aunt Tan downstairs, asking her to help take care of the house. I went straight to my grandpa’s house without saying hello in advance. But it was a big surprise for grandma and grandpa, and they quickly arranged to clean up the room for several people.

"You said that you came so suddenly. Nothing was prepared at home, the room was not tidied, and the bedding was not dried." Mrs. Chen scolded her daughter.

Tang Ma hugged her mother's shoulders, "Isn't this a surprise for you? How about a surprise?"

Mrs. Chen said with a smile on her face, "Surprise, surprise!"

"Someone has been cleaning the room at home, just wipe it down. Besides, the weather is so hot now, so I took out the bedding and dried it in the sun at noon." Tang's mother pushed her mother into the house. "You and Sister-in-law Gu are not needed, we can do it ourselves."

Sister-in-law Gu had no use for her own lady to take action. She had already asked her daughter-in-law to tidy up the room, and then took out the bedding to dry.

Tang's mother and Tangbao are still living in the princess room prepared for Tangbao last time, while Tang's father leads Tang Zhanbo to live next door to them. After settling in a few people, grandma quickly asked Mrs. Gu to prepare lunch. She would cook something delicious for them at noon today. But Tang’s mother said that there is no appetite at all on such a hot day, so don’t go to too much trouble and just cook something to relieve the heat.

What is the best thing to eat in summer to relieve the heat? Of course, it is Liangpi. Liangpi is a typical seafood delicacy and can be said to be a natural way to relieve the heat in summer. Liangpi uses vermicelli as the main ingredient, mixed with sesame paste, soy sauce, vinegar and other seasonings, plus chopped onion, ginger, garlic and chili oil. The taste is better when the cold skin is still cool. When you eat it, you will feel cool and refreshing in your mouth. The summer heat is immediately relieved.

Just do it. Anyway, the materials at home are complete, and Mrs. Gu went to prepare them immediately. At noon, everyone had a hearty meal of cold skin, which was a great appetizer. Even his brother Zhan Bo ate two small bowls, which made Tang Xin greedy. There was no way she could eat it, but Aunt Gu specially prepared egg custard and minced meat for her. It tasted good and fragrant. Aunt Gu's cooking skills were good. When grandpa came back in the evening, he was very happy to see a family of four, hugging Tang Xin and not letting go.

"I even told your mother in the past two days that your house will definitely be hotter on such a hot day, and I also planned to ask your mother to pick up the children and stay here for a few days. This time it's okay, you all came over, this time it's terrible You need to live a good life." Mr. Chen said to Father Tang and Mother Tang.

"Don't worry, dad, we won't leave this time even if you chase us away. Last year we didn't feel that hot, but this year we can't stay at home anymore, especially the cicadas chirping in our place are too noisy. We plan to stay at home We will stay at home until the end of the summer vacation, and I am afraid that you will bother us then." Tang's mother joked with her father.

When Mrs. Chen heard this, she glanced sideways at her daughter and fed her grandson fruit in her hand. "You can stay as long as you want. It's not too late for us to welcome you with both hands. How can we find you annoying? Besides, with my two little grandsons here, don't we have to endure it even if it annoys you?"

After hearing this, Mr. Chen laughed loudly, bumped the sugar baby in his arms and said, "Yes, for the sake of our lovely sugar baby, grandpa has to endure whatever he says. Isn't that right, little sugar baby?"

Tangbao responded loudly "Yeah!", which made all the adults in the room laugh. His brother Zhanbo also pursed his lips and snickered. The adults laughed even more happily when they saw his cute look.

Life at grandpa and grandma's house was very happy. Father Tang also has free time now. In his spare time, he is willing to study various classics with his grandmother. This is grandma's strength. Although Father Tang is already a professor in the literature department, he still learned a lot from his mother-in-law. He has to admire the heritage of this century-old family.

Since grandma and Tang's father were often willing to take Tang Xin with them when discussing academic issues, Tang Xin found that her memory seemed to be getting better and better. No matter how difficult the ancient poems were, as long as her father and grandma had said them once or twice She can remember everything by herself. She doesn't know if this is a unique advantage for children at this stage or a golden finger given to her by God? I have an extraordinary memory and a photographic memory. This is so cool, isn’t it? But she also knows that she can't be too obvious now. What if she performs too well and attracts the attention of relevant personnel? She didn't forget that the heroine of the original work had been targeted early on, so it was better to be ordinary. It was better to be ordinary.

Happy days are always short-lived, and the holidays are over in a blink of an eye, and it’s time for Father Tang and Mother Tang to go back to work. Apparently the holidays have driven brother Zhanbo crazy, and he is extremely reluctant to go home. But there was no way he had to go to school, so he went home unhappy. As soon as I got home, I met the second son of Aunt Tan's family on the first floor. The elder brother immediately pulled the second brother of the Tan family. The two soon chatted together and ran outside to play hand in hand. Tang Xin looked at the two people running away hand in hand and sighed. He thought to himself, "Sure enough, he is still a child. Who just held the grandson of Gu's sister-in-law's house reluctantly and tearfully?"

Aunt Tan walked out of the house when she heard her son's cry. She happened to see Tang Xin sighing at her brother's retreating back. She walked forward in a funny way and took Tang Xin from Tang's mother's arms. "Hey, what happened to our sugar babies? We act like little adults and sigh? Tell Aunt Tan who made you worry?"

Then he turned to Tang's mother and said, "You're back? I promised you to come back soon in the next few days. I just helped you clean the house yesterday, but it's clean. You don't have to clean it up when you get back." Before the Tang family went out, they I gave Aunt Tan the keys to the house and asked her to help look after the house when she was free. Unexpectedly, the enthusiastic Aunt Tan actually helped clean up the room.

Mother Tang looked grateful and quickly said to Aunt Tan: "Sister-in-law Tan, I'm really sorry for bothering you. You've really helped me a lot. I don't know how to thank you."

Aunt Tan waved her hand indifferently, "Hey, what's the point of being polite? It's just a matter of convenience. If you keep being polite, you'll be outed."

Tang's mother said nothing more and followed Tang's father to get the things upstairs. Aunt Tan followed behind and held the sugar baby. I did a simple tidying up when I got home, because Aunt Tan had already helped clean the house, so I basically just organized the things. Mother Tang quickly found a bag of pastries among the things she brought back and handed it to Aunt Tan. "Sister-in-law, this is a special Haishi snack made by my mother. You can take it back and give it to the children to try. It's not something expensive. Don't refuse."

Although life in Beijing has become stable now, after so many years of war, the material supply is still not very sufficient. Although we can now have enough food and clothing, it is not easy to eat better and more refined, especially It’s such an exquisite pastry that most people rarely buy, let alone make at home. Aunt Tan knew that Tang's mother and Tang's father had a very good home environment, so being able to bring these things would not cause them too much trouble. She also wanted the children to taste delicious food. After Aunt Tan thanked her, she accepted it generously.

Seeing Aunt Tan's generous acceptance, Tang's mother was also very happy. After all, if Aunt Tan refused them again, she would be really embarrassed. She just liked Aunt Tan's cheerful and unpretentious character.
