Chapter 2 The Little Orange Cat
"Yinglong has a fever!Get to the hospital!" a rugged bass shouted urgently.
Grandma looked at Yinglong's hot little face, and felt a little heartache: "Oh no, this kid, don't burn out, hurry up and send it to the hospital!"
After speaking, Yinglong was carried by his second uncle Mi Yu and rushed out of the door in a daze.
On the cold street, a car with flashing police lights whizzed by, and Yinglong asked in a confused and whispered, "What is that?"
After saying that, he fell asleep again.
Yinglong's grandmother's house is a northeastern house with a small courtyard.
There are a lot of white-feathered chickens in the yard, and there is a grapevine that is several years old.
"Third uncle, what are you doing?" Yinglong timidly asked Mi Wei, who was doing carpentry work.
Now Yinglong has been coming to Shenyang for almost half a year.
Since the last time I arrived in Shenyang, I had a cold and fever due to the sudden drop in temperature, and now I have adapted to the cool weather here. And he is also used to life here, frolicking and running around in and out of the yard every day.
"Pull the saw!" replied Miwe loudly, holding half a cigarette.
The third uncle, Mi Wei, is tall and has the bold personality of a Northeast man, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and few words.
After Mi Wei finished speaking, he put down the carpentry work in his hand, bent down and took Yinglong's immature little hand: "Yinglong, teach you to read a nursery rhyme." β
After listening to this, Yinglong clapped his little hands and cheered: "Okay! Third uncle, teach me to read nursery rhymes!"
Mi Wei read it word by word: "Pull the big saw, pull the big saw, grandma's house sings a big opera." Pick up the girl and invite the son-in-law, just don't let Dongdong go. If you don't let you go, you have to go, and you have to ride a small car to catch up. β
After listening to it, Yinglong followed the third uncle and read: "Pull the big saw, pull the big saw, and grandma's house sings a big opera." Pick up the girl and invite the son-in-law, just don't let Dongdong go. If you don't let you go, you have to go, and you have to ride a small car to catch up. β
After reading, Xiao Yinglong scratched his little head: "Third uncle, Dongdong has a car, what about my car?"
After hearing this, the third uncle looked at Yinglong and smiled: "What's your car?"
He reached out and touched Yinglong's little head.
Mi Wei thought to himself: "Yinglong usually doesn't have any toys, it's better to find some materials to weld a car for him, and I can do welder work anyway." β
So Mi Wei put on a serious look, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Yinglong, you listen to grandma, don't be naughty, I'll get you a car!"
Yinglong raised his little head, stared at a pair of big round eyes, and held his little hands in front of his chest: "Well, well, I must listen to grandma, remember to get me a small car." β
Mi Wei smiled happily: "Okay, let's go to grandma's place to play!"
After hearing this, Yinglong spread his calves and ran into the house, "Grandma, grandma, come and read the big saw with me! The third uncle said he wanted to get me a car!"
"Pull the big saw, pull the big saw, grandma's house sings a big show!"
"Pick up the girl and invite the son-in-law, just don't let Dongdong go. β
Yinglong had a good time in Shenyang, and now there is such a child at home, which has also added a lot of fun to the life of grandma and grandfather, of course, for him, the family has not put much effort into it, it can be said that there are bitter and sweet.
After all, several children in the family have not married and had children for the time being, although Yinglong is a grandson, but it can be regarded as temporarily satisfying the old couple's desire to hold their grandson.
One day, Yinglong sat on the kang and hugged a little yellow-haired orange cat at home, Xiaohua.
Xiaohua has a pair of bright glass bead-like eyes, under the slightly bulging little nose, there are a few silver-white, thin cat whiskers on both sides of the three-petal cat lips, and from time to time she raises her little head and turns around the playful cat ears, and "meows" a few times towards the little Yinglong, and then puts the fluffy, hot little body tightly against the chest of the Yinglong.
Yinglong sat on the kang and whispered to his grandmother, who was doing needlework next to him, "Grandma, where are my parents?"
Why did Xiao Yinglong suddenly ask this question, he hadn't mentioned his parents before.
It turned out that one day when Yinglong was playing with nearby children in the alley, a slightly taller boy suddenly pushed Yinglong and laughed at him: "Yinglong has no parents!"
When the other children heard this, they all looked at Yinglong and laughed.
Xiao Yinglong felt very aggrieved, and tears were almost falling. He knew that he had a grandmother, a grandfather, an uncle, and an aunt, but where his parents were, was a vague impression to him.
After all, Yinglong was only two years old when he left Ben Thanh, so in his impression, it seems that there is a father and a mother, but he doesn't know who it is.
Grandma, who was over half a hundred years old, heard Yinglong ask this, hesitated, wiped it on her hair with a needle, looked at Yinglong through reading glasses and sighed: "Poor Yinglong, I know that this child will ask this question one day." β
The kind grandmother reached out and touched Yinglong's fluffy little head: "Your parents are in the south, far away from here, so they can't come to see you, so in the future, you will be your aunt your mother, and your third uncle is your father, okay?"
After listening to this, Yinglong pouted and muttered, "Auntie, third uncle." β
Xiaohua writhed in Yinglong's arms, and whispered softly "meow" to the little master, and seemed to agree with her grandmother's opinion, after all, Xiaoyinglong temporarily had a father and mother.
Yinglong touched Xiaohua: "Xiaohua, where are your parents?"
Xiaohua looked at Xiao Yinglong very "sensibly" and called twice: "Meow, meow." β
Grandma looked at Xiaohua and Yinglong and smiled helplessly, and continued to sew the clothes in her hands.
Although Yinglong is still confused about his parents, since his grandmother said so, his aunt is his mother, and his third uncle is his father, so for him, after all, he still has his parents.
Next time, he was not afraid of other children bullying him, so he seemed to be a little arrogant.
Although when Xiao Yinglong loudly told the children who bullied him that his aunt was his mother and his third uncle was his father, others would still laugh. But although Xiao Yinglong at this age will feel very incomprehensible, he still feels unconvinced, those children are completely unreasonable, although he has parents temporarily.
But Yinglong knew that his father and mother who were far away would sometimes send him some living expenses.
Because once Yinglong saw his grandmother pull out a ten-dollar bill from an envelope.
Grandma smiled and told Yinglong that this is your mother's living expenses sent to you, but Yinglong doesn't understand this.
He was interested in the packet of plums that came with the package, which was a hometown specialty that Yinglong sometimes tasted, and he found them both sweet and sour, very tasty, and these little snacks could not help but make him very happy.
So, he often asks his grandmother if his parents have sent living expenses, because Yinglong wants to eat Huamei, and when he thinks of the taste of Huamei, he feels that his cheeks have a sour feeling.
The climate in the north is always dry and sunny.
Yinglong always goes out alone after breakfast to play with the neighbor's children.
Xiao Yinglong rode out of the door on a three-wheeled stroller handmade for him by his third uncle.
But the alley seems to be very quiet, and there are no children playing around.
Yinglong wondered, where did those children go, why didn't they see all of them.
He rode around the area, but he couldn't see the usual children playing
Shadow.
Yinglong was particularly puzzled, so he rode back on a small stroller.
When he returned home and saw his grandmother, Yinglong asked with a strange expression, "Grandma, what about those children?"
Grandma was squatting next to the chicken coop to feed, and when she heard Yinglong ask her, she slowly straightened up, stretched her waist, and then stroked her gray hair.
Grandma suddenly remembered something, it turned out that the children around her who were the same age as Yinglong had started to go to kindergarten.
And Yinglong always seems to be so small in front of his grandmother, but he didn't expect that almost two years have passed.
For this reason, grandma plans to send Xiao Yinglong to kindergarten.
Yinglong went to kindergarten for the first time, and sat in the first row because of his short stature, which was also the first time he carried a small schoolbag.
In class, the teacher began to teach everyone to recognize Chinese characters: "δΊΊ, η°, 倩".
In Yinglong's deep impression of going to school for the first time, that is, on the first day, he knew the words "people", "Tian" and "Tian".
A man has his feet on the earth, standing on the sky, with the sky above his head and a square field under his feet.
Although Yinglong was not impressed by what he had learned afterwards, these words remained in his mind.
Until one night, the sirens of fire trucks whizzing through the streets, and everyone ran in the direction of the rubber factory in the distance.
I saw that the sky above the rubber factory was blazing, reflecting half of the night sky, and it turned out that there was a fire.
Yinglong also ran out of the door with his grandmother, and suddenly he was in a hurry, isn't that the direction of preschool?
"Grandma, grandma, is our kindergarten on fire?"
Grandma hurriedly asked the neighbors left and right, and an aunt whispered: "It's the rubber factory that is on fire!"
Oops, isn't that bad?
The kindergarten is at the front door of the rubber factory, and it seems that Yinglong can't read it.
Sure enough, the next day, the third uncle brought bad news: because of safety concerns, the kindergarten was temporarily closed for a while.
Yinglong doesn't have to go to school.
The rest of his time is to take Xiaohua and ride a small stroller around the alley every day.
Xiaohua seems to understand the little master's mind very well, and always follows obediently, never leaving an inch.
Yinglong also taught Xiaohua all kinds of fun moves, and Xiaohua also listened to his fingers
Brandish.
Sometimes Yinglong will let Xiaohua perform in front of other children.
Watching the children watch Xiaohua perform in circles, pounce on food, and even eat "ginseng rice" with a look of surprise, Xiao Yinglong was particularly satisfied.
In his opinion, Xiaohua is his pride, as if she is his "little daughter-in-law".
Sometimes, Yinglong can't stand the loneliness, so he will whisper to Xiaohua, which is a language that only he and Xiaohua understand.
Although Xiaohua is just a little orange cat that can "meow", it is Yinglong's best childhood companion, and without Xiaohua's company, Yinglong will feel lonely.
It wasn't until later, when Xiao Yinglong left Shenyang and returned to the south, he still missed his little friend, Xiaohua, and even wanted to ask his mother Milan to send Xiaohua to him.
After all, in a child's heart, his childhood best companion is the little pet that accompanies him day and night, as if that is his closest friend and playmate, so Xiao Yinglong has always been obsessed with his little orange cat, until one day, Xiaohua came to his side, but what happened next was a completely unexpected result for him, and everything he encountered made him unforgettable for life.
