On Sunday morning, Yang still woke up early, as usual on Saturday. After breakfast, he was fully dressed, hurriedly went to the vegetable market to buy a few fresh carp, and happily went to the private school Hutong to meet Zheng Xiaowen.

Yang Yilin rang the doorbell when he came to the gate of the Zheng family, and his mood of expecting Zheng Xiaowen to open the gate was indescribable.

The footsteps he heard were getting closer and closer to the gate, and he was a little disappointed, he knew that the footsteps were not Zheng Xiaowen's. However, he still has hope in his heart, that is, Zheng Xiaowen is busy at home and has no time to open the door.

The door of Zheng's house opened, and Zheng's mother showed a smiling face, greeted Yang Yilin, and enthusiastically let Yang Yilin: "Child, come here, come in, come in." ”

Yang Yilin carried the fish, endured without saying a word and came to the courtyard, and endured it to the east wing, put the fish in the iron basin, and put enough water, then he asked: "Auntie, where is Xiaowen?"

At this time, Zheng's mother's expression was a little unnatural, and she said, "Nini is not at home." ”

After Zheng's mother finished speaking, she was thinking in her heart: Ah, this child usually comes home for a day, if he stays here for a day today...... Oh, yes, let the child sit in the study for a while, and then say, "Child, the study is warm, you can come to the study and read." ”

Yang Yilin followed Zheng's mother out of the door of the east wing and walked in the courtyard, he looked around, feeling that the house was very deserted, he stopped and asked, "Auntie, cousin, sister-in-law and children didn't come again?"

Zheng's mother said: "Your cousin and sister-in-law are very busy at work, and the children still have to go to school. They can't keep coming here. Yesterday, your eldest cousin and sister-in-law came, and Nini also came back, and a few people were lively for a long time, and then they all left. ”

When Yang Yilin heard this, he complained to himself: Yang Yilin, you are so simple, you are so stupid! Why didn't you come yesterday! You are still pretending to be smart, thinking that Xiaowen will be at home on Sunday, see, see, you are wrong, right? You are empty! You stupid!

Zheng's mother saw that Yang Yilin was slow to answer, and she understood Yang Yilin's heart very well when she came to the house, so she continued:

"Nini is very busy with work, and yesterday she didn't stay at home for much longer, and then followed her cousin and sister-in-law to her aunt's house again.

"Listen to what Nini means, this time the translation work is a heavy task and the time is tight, it seems that it will take half a year, and it must be translated within half a year! You see, she really can't spare time to play with your friends now. ”

Yang Yilin thought to herself: Xiaowen, she doesn't have time, so she has to call me and say hello, right? This is not good, I have to go to her! He was about to speak, but he felt that something was wrong, so he changed his words: "Auntie, Xiaowen is not at home, what work is at home, I will do it." ”

Zheng's mother hurriedly said, "There's no work, yesterday Nini and they cleaned up the East Garden." Now there is nothing else to do, you go to the study to read, and at noon, Auntie will make you something to eat. ”

Zheng's mother said this casually, and her heart chuckled: Oh, I also let this child have lunch here, Nini is in the west wing, if this child really stays for lunch, how can Nini eat and go out!

Yang Yilin walked towards the gate and said, "Auntie, I'm not eating here, I have something important to do with Xiaowen, you tell me the address of my aunt's house, and I'll go to her now." ”

Zheng's mother thought to herself: "Other people's children are so good to their families, how can I bear to let him go so far and wrongly!" Zheng's mother had no better way, so she had to insist: If you don't eat, Auntie doesn't want you to go, you can just have lunch here and go again. ”

As Mother Zheng spoke, she was anxious and thought: This Nizi is really, you don't want to be good with this child, you can take other methods, you look at the method you use, what kind of thing is this, making the family so difficult to deal with? I will let Yilin go to the East Garden in a while, you can come out quickly, just pretend to come back from outside, and there will be no such difficult things to deal with in the future!

Zheng's mother thought in her heart, and deliberately walked to the door of the east wing and said, "Child, come here." Yang Yilin walked over. Mother Zheng pointed to the meat and vegetables in the house and said, "Look at how many delicious foods Auntie has prepared, listen to Auntie's words, let's say okay, you can go to Auntie's house after lunch." ”

When Zheng's mother said this, she raised her hand and pointed to the East Garden: "The plum blossom buds in the East Garden are about to bloom, and the buds that are about to bloom are beautiful, so you can go to the East Garden to enjoy the flowers." ”

Yang Yilin's mind is full of Zheng Xiaowen, how can he still have the mind to enjoy the flowers! He said: "Auntie, I don't have time to enjoy the flowers, and I don't have lunch here, I really have something urgent to find Xiaowen, I haven't gone to work today for this matter, I have to go to her now, I can't delay the matter." After speaking, he was waiting for Zheng's mother to say the address.

At this time, Zheng Xiaowen, in front of the glass window in the west wing, lifted the curtains, through the window lattice, and through the sparse bamboo leaves, saw Yang Yilin's heavy and anxious demeanor, and the tears in her eyes had already fallen. She looked at this scene in the courtyard, and she couldn't stand it anymore, so she turned around and sat on a chair, no longer looking into the courtyard.

Zheng Xiaowen heard her mother say, "Child, my aunt's house is so far away, how can you go? Listen to your aunt's words, don't go, think of other ways to solve something." ”

Yang Yilin lowered his head slightly and said: "I have to find Xiaowen for this matter, I will ride slowly, and I will definitely see her today." ”

Zheng's mother said: "It's not just a long way to go to your aunt's house, I'm afraid that you will go, there is no one at her house, and she has no phone at home, and she can't contact her in advance.

Yang Yilin said: "Auntie, you can tell me the address, I am not afraid of the long road, and I am not afraid that my aunt and Xiaowen are not at home, they are not at home, I will wait, and when it gets dark, they will always go home." ”

Zheng Xiaowen felt that her mother really had no choice at this time, so she was going to tell Yang Yilin the address, oops, tell him the address!

Zheng Xiaowen cried urgently, so anxious that she whispered to herself: "Yilin, don't go! I'm not there! Yilin, don't go! I'm not at my aunt's house!" She was so anxious that she clasped her legs with her hands and said, "Yilin, I'm just sitting here! You must not go to your aunt's house, you must not run so far to the wrong road!" Yilin ......"

Zheng Xiaowen saw her mother and Yang Yilin walking towards the gate, she didn't dare to cry anymore, she quickly got up and went to the outhouse to get a towel to wipe her tears. She was afraid that her mother would come back and see if she had cried, and she couldn't explain it to her mother.

Zheng's mother sent Yang Yilin outside the gate, Qiao Xiang happened to come from the east on a bicycle, he saw Zheng's mother, and quickly shouted: "Auntie." He asked Yang Yilin again, "Are you going out?"

Yang Yilin looked at Zheng's mother and said to Qiao Xiang, "Well, I'll do something."

Zheng's mother thought to herself:

Looking at Yilin's expression, Yilin didn't want Qiao Xiang to know what was on his mind. But this Nini is not there, the road is so far, I really can't bear to let him run away. Qiao Xiang didn't say anything when he came here, and I also knew that he was looking for Nini in his heart.

Simply, it is better to let these two children be companions all the way, just when they have a game and relax, even if they go to his aunt's house, even if they are empty, don't they have a comfort for each other? Okay, let the two of them go together.

Zheng's mother thought of this and said, "Yilin, don't be in a hurry to do that little thing," she said to Qiao Xiang again, "Nini is at her second aunt's house, if you have something to find her, let Yilin go with you." ”

Qiao Xiang said happily: "Okay, I just have something to find Xiaowen, when we get there, we will call her back, let her rest for a day, and tell her to go to work tomorrow." ”

After Qiao Xiang finished speaking, he and Yang Yilin both greeted Zheng's mother, and the two got on their bicycles and headed to the east.

Zheng's mother looked at the two children walking away from the east, turned around and entered the door and complained: "What kind of business is Nini doing, let the adults lie, it's not okay if you don't tell this lie!"
