Chapter 69: The Banquet (II)
The old man looked at Xiao Mu very shyly and said, "Look, how bold Guo Yang is, what about you? ”
Xiao Mu just smiled slightly, did not respond to the old man, and continued to eat his own food with his head down.
Guo Yang broke the deadlock, "I'm used to it, Xiao Mu just rarely comes to this kind of occasion." ”
Xiao Mu didn't eat much and put down the dishes and chopsticks, in fact, he hadn't eaten enough, but he was embarrassed to continue eating.
"I'm full, you eat slowly. ”
No matter how much the old man persuaded him, he said that he had eaten enough, so the old man stopped admonishing him.
Staring at Guo Yang, who was gobbling up, Xiao Mu thought to himself that Guo Yang was too fierce, eating so much, but there was no sense of shyness.
Guo Yang finally put down the dishes and chopsticks, Xiao Mu made a look and motioned for Guo Yang to leave, but Guo Yang didn't seem to receive the signal.
stood up and walked to Guo Yang's side, "Have you eaten well? ”
Guo Yang picked up the tissue on the table and wiped his oily lips, "Let's go, eat well." ”
The two said goodbye to the adults and went back to school.
At this time, it was still early before the start of class, and I planned to play for a while, but the weather was cold and a little sleepy, so Xiao Mu went back to the classroom to take a nap.
Guo Yang had nothing to play when he was alone, so he followed Xiao Mu back to the classroom.
The cold wind howled, and the two of them huddled in the corner, huddled tightly, because then they were not so cold.
After falling asleep, the sleeping appearance of the two was unbearable, Xiao Mu was drooling, and Guo Yang was hugging Xiao Mu's waist.
Until the class bell rings.
"Get up!"
Teacher Ma shouted loudly, but the two did not react, and Teacher Ma repeated it several times.
The two of them were sleepy-eyed, rubbing their eyes and raising their heads, which caused the classmates to laugh.
Xiao Mu felt that the corners of his mouth were a little wet, so he wiped it with his sleeve, and found that it was saliva, looked down at his chest, and there was a lot of saliva, and the smell was really disgusting.
Although Xiao Mu had tried very hard to erase it, he still couldn't erase it in the end.
Crawling on the desk, trying not to let Guo Yang or his classmates see it.
In this way, Xiao Mu didn't stand up for the whole afternoon of class, and the class lasted until the end of school.
"Let's go, Xiao Mu, continue in the afternoon, you can eat for two days." ”
When he heard Guo Yang say that he would continue to eat at the banquet, Xiao Mu was not as happy as before, and he was looking forward to it, after all, he felt very uncomfortable there.
Leaning back in his chair, he stretched, "Let's go, let's go." ”
Xiao Mu first accompanied Guo Yang back home, the house was empty, maybe because this was a rare opportunity to get together, so they all went to play there.
After putting down the schoolbag, the two also went, but they didn't know where Lao Fu and Guo Yang's mother were, and it was not easy to find someone in such a big village, so the two didn't choose to find it.
Squatted directly on the side of the road and played, but Xiao Mu was very concerned about the part of his chest that was drenched with saliva, and the taste still did not dissipate, so he couldn't help but cover his hands.
"Guo Yang, are you cold?"
Guo Yang opened his hand, closed his eyes and felt it, feeling that it didn't seem to be very cold, and it felt a little cold.
Stomping his foot and saying, "It looks a little cold." ”
Xiao Mu asked again: "Why don't you go to the room to roast the fire?"
Guo Yang didn't mean to refuse, "Okay, let's go." ”
The two took their little hands and ran to the door of the room, and Xiao Mu stopped.
Xiao Mu looked at it fixedly, and found that there were not many people he knew, so he felt a little embarrassed and didn't go in.
Guo Yang pulled Xiao Mu and said, "Let's go, why don't you leave?" ”
"Guo Yang, if we don't go in, I don't think it's so cold. ”
Just as the two were pulling, they happened to be seen by Aunt Wang in the village, "Hey, Xiao Mu, come in and bake the fire, it's such a cold day, where are you going?"
Xiao Mu, who was going not to go in, had to go in at this time.
Although this is a room, it is a simple tent made of a few bamboo poles and oilcloth, and there are no chairs or anything in it, so you can only sit on firewood.
Xiao Mu found a slightly larger piece of firewood and sat down to roast the fire.
One of the aunts who cooked with Aunt Wang asked, "Lao Wang, whose child is this?" Why haven't I seen it?"
Aunt Wang replied, "Zhang Laohan's grandson ,......"
Almost everyone asks the same question, and the answer is almost identical.
Every time he goes out, as long as there is a stranger, he has to repeat a similar plot, which makes Xiao Mu already disgusted, but what can he do, he can't control others, and what's even more annoying is that Xiao Mu has to smile every time.
Aunt Wang took a lot of Xiao Mu up and down, and when she saw that Xiao Mu was wearing new clothes, she said, "Hey, Xiao Mu, I heard that your uncle is back, is this the new clothes he bought for you?"
Xiao Mu just nodded and didn't dare to speak.
Aunt Wang continued: "Yo Yo Yo, your uncle is really good, and he won't buy something beautiful and expensive for you, it's not good to look at the quality." ”
Forget it, he rushed to Xiao Mu and pulled his collar and said, "Look at it, look at it, this quality will be worn out by you in three days." ”
This is Xiao Mu's favorite set of clothes, but it was said by Aunt Wang that it was so useless, Xiao Mu was angry, and she wanted to cry without tears.
But so what, in front of adults, Xiao Mu could only respond in a way that was difficult for him to smile.
This is not enough, Aunt Wang pointed to the dust on Xiao Mu's clothes and said: "Look at your new clothes, what are they all worn, they are so dirty and they are not washed, won't they wash their clothes without their parents?"
Xiao Mu clenched his fists and wanted to rush forward, but thinking that doing so would affect the reputation of Zhang Laohan's family, he dispelled the idea.
Pick up the firewood and keep turning over the fire, not knowing what to do.
Guo Yang on the side didn't speak, just lowered his head, and didn't know what he was doing.
Aunt Wang saw that Xiao Mu didn't answer herself, and she didn't know if she felt faceless or something, so she said loudly: "An, Xiao Mu, are you dumb or deaf, why can't you even speak." ”
Xiao Mu still ignored it, who could feel the discomfort in his heart, just like the cold wind blowing his coat, how could his body feel the cold.
Xiao Mu stood up.
"Guo Yang, let's go, I think it's a lot hotter. ”
Guo Yang naturally saw Xiao Mu's thoughts, so he walked out of the room with Xiao Mu.
Not far away, just in the corner of the corner of the room, Xiao Mu propped up the wall with his hands, lowered his head and cried.
Tears poured down like rain, like a flood that had burst its banks.
When Guo Yang asked him how he was, he found that he was speechless, even though he wanted to tell Guo Yang that he was okay.
Guo Yang on the side could only be anxious, kept patting Xiao Mu's back, and kept comforting: "It's okay, it's okay." ”
