As soon as Sister Xiaoru reached out and snatched the cigarette from his mouth, threw it on the ground and trampled it out with her foot.

As soon as Katsuko saw it, he said: "The little hairy child smokes and looks for a fight!"

The boy gave Katsuko a wide roll of his eyes and ignored him.

Douzi pointed at his head with his hand and said, "It's like you, I saw you hit you once, and my sister shot is your blessing, and you also put onions in the pig's nose - pretending to be an elephant." ”

Sister Xiaoru let go of the boy, squatted down, and said with a straight look: "I don't care what you were like before, since I saved you, I will take care of you to the end! From now on, you will obediently follow us, not a single step to leave, dare to run, I will break your legs, and I will support you for the rest of your life! Do you hear that? Whether you want to or not, now you will follow you inch by inch! See if your legs are fast or my legs are fast!"

There was a resoluteness in his voice, and there was no room for question.

Sister Xiaoru stood up and said to Aunt Cripple, "I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting, I think it's time to leave in two hours, how about we eat braised noodles nearby in a while?"

The mother said, "Yes, I caused you two to come here again, and if you don't go home today, you will eat braised noodles." ”

Sister Xiaoru said to Shengzi: "You line up now and go to buy a half ticket to the house, and I'll take care of the child's affairs!" After speaking, she glanced at the boy Xiaoyu very casually. The boy is estimated to have nothing to do now, but knowing that this aunt really can't afford to provoke him, he can only obediently obey orders, or wait for others to come to the rescue.

The lame aunt said, "There is a good noodle restaurant not far ahead, let's go there." ”

Chunsheng said: "I'll buy a ticket, you eat, I'll buy it and go to you." After saying that, he turned around and went to the ticket office.

It wasn't until they got on the train that those people didn't appear again, as if they didn't exist at all, and when the train started, Katsuko slowly withdrew his wary gaze from all around.

Guoqing and Douzi sandwiched the boy Xiaoyu in the middle, and Douzi had a smug look, as if he was a police officer escorting a prisoner.

The boy Xiaoyu still has an expression of indifference, maybe for him, it doesn't matter where he goes, anyway, as long as he doesn't break his legs, he is still free, he has actually been looking for a chance to escape, he has been mixing along the railway for too long and is familiar, and he is not worried that he will not be able to find his companion in the future.

He knew almost everywhere they had been, and this was not the first time they had been sent back to their hometown, but this time it was to a strange place. Joke, he hadn't spent a penny on a ticket since he could remember, and money was even easier for him, so there was nothing to worry him about, he thought to himself: whatever, I don't believe you can trap me, there will always be opportunities.

Thinking all the way, soon we will get out of the car.

After getting off the bus, my father and Uncle Qiangzi came to the station to pick us up, and my father saw that the boy Xiaoyu didn't ask, so my mother said, "I'll talk about it when I get home." ”

When I got home, it was not yet six o'clock, and it was still very bright. A large table and two small tables have already been set up in the courtyard, just waiting for us to eat.

My sister ran into the yard early, and then Kangkang's unique voice called my sister, and a group of children shouted behind her, which was called a parent.

Who knew that as soon as we entered the courtyard gate, the boy Xiaoyu saw the tall and mighty Daji suddenly stood up and walked to his side and sniffed, scared 'Mom', standing there straight and motionless and not daring to move, Daji sniffed around, and the boy Xiaoyu began to tremble. His mouth trembled and shouted, "Ah, Ah, Auntie, I, I'm afraid!

Daji was curious to investigate him because he saw that he was a stranger, which frightened him.

Xiaole is still sensible, he shouted 'Daji is back', and came over and said, "Little brother, come to dinner." ”

The boy Xiaoyu still doesn't know Daji, but he is afraid of the dog from the bottom of his heart, whether it bites or not.

The boy Xiaoyu was still a little trembling, obediently sat down next to Xiaole, took the chopsticks given by Aunt Yan, and when he took a bite of the dish and was about to put it in his mouth, he raised his eyes and saw that Feifei was not particularly skilled at eating with chopsticks between his feet, and the dish he was holding fell into his porridge bowl.

He looked at Feifei in surprise, Feifei ate vegetables as if no one was around, and then bent down to eat steamed buns and drink porridge. The children around him have long been accustomed to it, and they also eat their own food, and he remembered that he was also hungry for a long time, so he quickly retracted his gaze and ate it.

However, when he finished gobbling up and saw Uncle and Dale again, he was surprised and thought to himself: What is the matter? What kind of person is this?

At the dinner table, Sister Xiaoru told the story again, everyone whispered something, and finally Uncle Piqiu whispered: "This child is afraid of dogs, sleep in a room with me at night, and make sure it's okay." ”

The boy Xiaoyu stayed at home honestly for three days, and early on the morning of the third day, Uncle Piqiu ran out of the house when his grandparents were practicing Tai Chi, followed by Daji, Uncle Piqiu's shoes were not lifted, and he shouted when he got out of the house: "Uncle, uncle, Xiaoyu ran away!"

When everyone entered the house, there was only a bed of towels left in a mess, and he was still there. Grandpa looked at the furnishings in the house, went out of the house again, and asked grandma, "Is the courtyard door plugged in the morning?"

Grandma said: "Since Daji came, our family has not intervened in the door again." Why is this kid so wild? ”

Grandpa said: "He ran at two or three o'clock in the middle of the night and now walks to the town at most, and he is not familiar with the route, so he may be able to wander somewhere, so let the boss go out and look for it." ”

After a while, Uncle Piqiu came out of the house a little dejectedly, muttering: "What is wrong with this stinky boy stealing, I have to steal my little jade card, that is the only thought left to me by my father." ”

No one heard it, no one paid attention, muttered to himself for a while, sighed and thought to himself: Alas, no one will inherit it anymore if you keep it, so you should simply give it to this stinky boy, I hope he will keep it well, and don't lose it again.

When the father and Katsuko returned, it was almost nine o'clock, and there was no one to see.

Sister Xiaoru waited for her father and Shengzi to come back and said: "Originally, I hesitated for a long time to bring him back before making up my mind, after all, I am a little older, and I have been wandering outside for so long, and my mind has matured a lot. ”

Having said that, I was still nervous in my heart, worried that this clever child would go further and further down the crooked path.

In this way, the boy Xiaoyu appeared in a hurry and hurriedly sneaked away.

A few days after we came back, my grandmother was talking about Aunt Yan's affairs, and Aunt Yan said, "Mother, it's going to be a Sunday before the due date, so it's good to go to the hospital in advance, don't worry now." ”

Grandma said: "You are a mother for the first time, how do you know the difficulty of giving birth, I am not in a hurry, what if the child is in a hurry? ”

The mother helped Aunt Yan calculate the day very accurately, and on the second day of hospitalization, the uncle's daughter was born, and the grandmother followed Aunt Yan from the moment she was admitted to the hospital, until the child came to this world safely.

Grandma's happiness is not to mention, it is happier than having my eldest grandson, and grandpa said: "Old woman, it's a little fluttering, I see that you can't find the north." ”

When grandma heard this, she first snorted before saying: "As if you are unhappy, I don't know who is talking in the middle of the night, shouting that this is good, this is good, Si'er finally has a child, and after shouting, he laughed in his dream." ”

Grandpa asked in surprise, "Old woman, really, don't make me up and laugh at me!"

Grandma was happy: "As for the arrangement of you, I didn't tell you that I was happy, but now you are laughing at me, I am just happy, as if I don't know your mind." ”

The two of them laughed in private. No one heard.

For the uncle's daughter, the grandmother can't put it down, she won't let go of it, and she will hug it when she is full, so Aunt Yan said: "Mother, you don't know that children can't be held all the time." ”

Grandma reluctantly put it down, smiled and said, "Old confused, old confused." ”

The mother said, "Mom's lovesickness is also cured, and I won't keep urging me to ask Yan'er in the future." ”

Aunt Yan on the hospital bed also smiled brightly, but she was still a little shy.

On the day the child arrived home, we gathered around the baby in swaddling clothes, and there was a Nana next to us.

After watching for a long time, no one spoke, and a group of adults were watching us from the periphery, and I felt that it was very quiet at that time, and everyone's breathing seemed so heavy.

Grandma opened her mouth first and asked, "Who do you think this child looks like?"

The children almost unanimously said, "Like a mother!"

The adults also echoed the voice, and the only one in the family was my sister and me, and we said with great certainty: "Like uncle!" and then we looked at each other unusually, and I was happy, my sister and I saw my uncle's face in the same detail, and even every line of skin on her face was clearly remembered in my mind.

Could it be that my sister is the same as me, and she also has a secret between her and my uncle? At this time, my voice is the same, and it seems that my sister also thought of this, and smiled at me mysteriously and said, "Brother, we both think the same!"

The father also objected: "Well, no, your uncle was not like this when he was a child, why don't you look like your aunt when you look at your eyes and mouth?"

Grandma also added: "The brain is also like a swallow." ”

My sister came over and took my hand and said, "What you said is not right, I will definitely look like my uncle in the future." Then he said to me, "Am I right, brother?"

I insisted, "That's right, if you don't believe it, we'll see!" and the whole family was happy.

Grandpa said: "It's okay to be like anyone, Yan'er is not ugly, your uncle is a black spot, just don't look like your uncle!"

It took a lot of trouble to name this child, but I searched my intestines and scraped my stomach, and carried the Xinhua dictionary, before I found a word that I thought was good: Zhe.

This word is also the meaning of 'philosophy', both wisdom, literally written out is good, the combination of two auspicious words, double happiness.

I just quarreled with my uncle's daughter's nickname: Zhe Zhe!

In the end, the whole family kept passing, but the grandfather said, "Sounds like a boy's name!"

Grandma said, "Then let's raise it as a boy!"

This was in August 1997.
