“...... Dad gives you the bike to hold on, and you sit on the bike seat first. ”

"Put the handlebars up, lift both feet up, and put them on the pedals on both sides......"

In the hall, the voice of the middle-aged man echoed.

With a smile on his face, the middle-aged man walked to the edge of the hall, picked up the bicycle leaning against the wall, and pushed it to the slightly spacious place next to it.

“...... It's okay, I have Dad, Dad will hold the bicycle for you and won't let you fall. ”

Holding the bicycle, the middle-aged man smiled in front of him and said,

“...... Okay, now sit down and press the pedal in front, and Dad will still be there to support you. ”

“...... Just pedal the pedal, step down with one foot and lift the other......"

Holding one handle with one hand, and holding the bicycle to the back seat with the other, the middle-aged man smiled, and while talking to the bicycle seat, he seemed to be pushing the bicycle and walking in the hall.

The wheels of the bicycle rolled, driving the rusty chains, and the chains drove the pedals, and the pedals undulated and turned,

The rusty bicycle made some creaking and rubbing sounds, mixed with the words of a middle-aged man, resounding in the dark hall,

The woman who was tidying up and helping to remove the stools and miscellaneous items in the hall stood at the dining table, with a smile in her eyes, looking at the middle-aged man, and the bicycle,

On the side, Lian Ge watched and listened, and didn't say much.

In the dark room, it became more and more quiet.

......

“...... Now turn the handle, turn the handle this way. ”

After pushing the bicycle and walking carefully to the other side of the hall, the middle-aged man spoke, careful, withdrew his hand holding the handle of the bicycle, took half a step back, held the back seat of the bicycle, and followed.

“...... Yes, just turn the handle around a little bit. ”

Looking at the bicycle seat, the middle-aged man is holding the back seat of the bicycle,

"Don't forget to kick your feet...... Now, like just now, turn over there......"

The middle-aged man held on to the back seat of the bicycle, watched, protected, and carefully followed.

The bicycle slowly turned the handlebar, and the pedals were driven forward by the chain with a creaking sound.

Around the table in the hall, the bicycle circled forward,

“...... Yes, just keep pushing forward. ”

After another circle, there was still some distance between the wall on the side of the hall, and the middle-aged man slowed down, and let go of his hand holding the back seat of the bicycle a little, only following closely behind,

And the empty bicycle, after the middle-aged man let go of his hand, shook a little, made some friction sounds, and still moved forward little by little.

“...... Go to the wall again, and turn around like you did just now. ”

Following the bicycle, the middle-aged man looked at the slightly shaking bicycle with a smile on his face.

The bicycle swayed, and the handlebars slowly turned to the side.

After turning the corner, he went faster and approached the wall on the other side of the hall.

It seemed that it was too late to turn, or panicked, and the handlebar of the bicycle first turned quickly to the side,

Then, again, he hit the wall and fell sideways.

After the bicycle, the middle-aged man who had been following closely saw this, and grabbed the back seat of the bicycle, took two steps forward, and held the handlebar.

"You didn't fall, did you...... It's okay, it's just that the hall is a little narrow, Dad can ride, and he can't turn around in this hall, and when the rain stops tomorrow and the water in the yard dries up, let's go to the yard and ride again, try to ride a few more laps, and you'll be done. ”

The middle-aged man held the bicycle, smiled, and said to the side of the bicycle,

"Have you two played enough, if you don't eat, the food on this table will be cold. ”

At the table, the woman stood and shouted,

"Let's go, eat first, or your mother will teach me a lesson." ”

Smiling, the middle-aged man said, putting the bike back on the wall and walking back to the dining table.

......

“...... Huihui, you're much smarter than your dad, and your dad's head is wooden. ”

The middle-aged man and woman sat down at the table again, the woman took the chopsticks and put them in the bowl in front of the empty stool, looked at the middle-aged man again, and said,

"When he first learned to ride a bike, I was watching. At first, when he sat up, he was afraid of falling, so he didn't dare to retract his legs, and asked me to help him beside him...... When he doesn't need to be helped, he doesn't know how to turn when he pushes, and when he wants to turn, he doesn't know how to push. If you step on that pedal, you can only step on it for half a circle, and then you can step on it and lift it up...... In that yard, either you hit the wall, or you fall on the ground, how can you ride like this, Huihui, you can ride like this......"

The woman looked at the middle-aged man, looked at the empty seat next to her, and said,

“...... At that time, I still borrowed the bicycle of your father's third grandfather's house, and your third grandfather watched from the side, distressed......"

The woman said, laughing,

The middle-aged man sat beside him, smiling on his face,

“...... Huihui, there is still some soup boiling in the pot, if you want to drink it, Mom will bring you a bowl. ”

"Thank you. You're my precious girl, and it's right that Mom feels sorry for you. ”

The woman smiled, raised her hand, and stroked the empty seat twice,

"Then mom will go to the kitchen and bring you a bowl. ”

Standing up, the woman picked up the bowl on the table and walked towards the kitchen.

......

"Here, eat another piece of this ......"

“...... Tell my dad if there are any interesting things about being in school for so long. ”

At the dining table, a middle-aged man smiled and talked to the empty seat.

After saying a word, he didn't say any more, just smiled and looked to the side, and from time to time he picked up the chopsticks and put them in the bowl in front of the empty seat, as if he was listening to something.

......

“...... Dad can do anything at home, just like on weekdays. ”

Laughing, the middle-aged man said again,

"You two guys, what are you whispering there, why can't I hear you. ”

The woman took the bowl, a little cautious, and walked out of the kitchen again.

After carefully putting the bowl down, the woman raised her head and asked with a smile,

"No, just ask Huihui if there's anything interesting at school. ”

"Then Huihui will also tell my mother," the woman sat down and said,

"Be careful, the soup just out of this pot is still a little hot, be careful and drink it......"

After saying that, the woman smiled and looked at the empty seat, as if she was listening to something.

Glancing at the middle-aged man and the woman, Lian Ge didn't say anything and withdrew his gaze.

In the hall, the night is getting deeper, only the backyard door lets in some moonlight,

A gust of fresh breeze blew through the gap in the door of the hall, swept through the hall, rolled up a few fallen leaves on the ground in the hall, and then fell back to the ground.

The hall was quieter.

......

"Knock knock...... Knock knock. ”

“...... The third child, is the third child of the Shen family at home?"

At this moment, outside the door of the hall, a shout sounded with a knock on the door,

"In, here, here......"

At the dining table, the middle-aged man and woman turned their heads and looked towards the door of the hall.

The middle-aged man answered, stood up, and walked towards the door of the hall.

On the side, Lian Ge turned his gaze and looked at the door of the house,

The mouse on his shoulder also turned his head and looked to the side.

......

“...... Uncle Ji, come here now, are you ......?"

opened the door of the hall, and an old man in a raincoat appeared outside the door,

The old man had a smile on his face, and he smiled,

"Uncle Ji, come in first, it's raining so heavily outside,"

The middle-aged man beckoned, stepped out of the way, and said.
