Under Chen Deyuan's care, the Hong family's life slowly returned to normal. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the same time, another thing also made Hong Lucheng and his wife feel a little relieved, that is, Hong Yanwu's mental state has also improved a lot, he no longer hides from people, and he can see smiling faces.

And the reason for this change is entirely because Hong Yanwu has a little friend for the first time in his life, and he has become friends with Chen Deyuan's only son, Chen Liquan.

In fact, in addition to the similar age, the two children have a big difference in life experience and temperament.

Take Hong Yanwu as an example. This kid is as thin as a bare-eyed chicken, and he has been wandering in the alleys since he was a child, and he is a twisted seed who has a bad idea in the blink of an eye.

And Chen Liquan, who is half a year younger than him, is one size bigger, and he is a kind child who grew up in the countryside.

In fact, Chen Liquan is sturdy, mainly because he lived with his mother in his hometown of Dingxing since he was a child.

Chen Deyuan married his wife as a baby friend that Chen Laoshi set for him since he was a child, and after getting married, his wife has stayed in his hometown to take care of his returning in-laws. Because couples have been separated for a long time, they do not have as many children to support as other families.

Especially after the death of Chen Laoshi's old couple, the most difficult three years of eating and drinking also ended at the same time, relying on Chen Deyuan's monthly salary to ensure the life of a family of three, it is still relatively comfortable.

As the only seedling of the Chen family, Chen Liquan can eat eggs that other children can't eat, and other children can't eat fine grains, so Chen Liquan can make them casually. Therefore, at that time, Chen Liquan was really the happiest child in Dingxing County.

However, don't look at the big gap between the two children's life experiences and temperaments, but they are quite close when they meet.

What's going on?

Quite simply, the reason that keeps these two kids together is loneliness.

Needless to say, because of his special family background, the children in the alley despised him. In addition, this kid has a stubborn temperament, and the children of the neighbors in the East Courtyard also hate him. And the age gap between his eldest brother and second brother is quite large, so he doesn't bother to take care of him at all. So except for occasionally provoking his sister or teasing cats and dogs, he usually can only find his own pastime and have fun.

What about Chen Liquan?

He suffered the loss of growing up in the countryside.

On the first day he moved to the West Courtyard, Chen Liquan was ridiculed by the neighbors' children because of his foreign accent. Just a few words of "follow Zhou" (follow), "pinch one" (that), and "Mu Mo" (what) made the nickname of "little nephew" on his back.

Although his father was the highest in the position and the most paid among these neighbors, these could only make the children envy him for having a good father, but they could not buy friendship for himself. So for a few days after moving to his new home, all he could do every day was to sit at the door of the West Courtyard, look at the sky alone, and miss his hometown in the countryside.

He misses the fire at home, it burns hot, and it is more comfortable to sleep than to bed.

He misses the swallow's nest under the eaves, where the black swallows often fly around.

He missed the bundles of straw in the yard, and the smell of smoke they emitted was the best in the world, because it was time to eat!

He also missed the gray water tank next to the stove, which contained a king eight caught from the river, half a foot long......

In the end, it was the appearance of Hong Yanwu that put an end to Chen Liquan's boredom and emptiness. Therefore, as soon as these two sympathetic children met, they immediately formed the strongest alliance.

Every day, the two of them have to get together, digging birds' nests, catching insects, and glue, throwing pots, fanning triangles, stabbing knives, playing glass beads, and having fun. A dumpling must be eaten together, a popsicle must be licked in turn, and even a handful of melon seeds must be shared.

They are friends who share everything, and they spend more time together than they spend with their families.

There is a word in the old Beijing dialect called "Fa Xiao", which is specially used to describe this kind of "fart and collapse, pee and mud", friends who grew up together. This kind of friendship is often more effective than other friendships, and often even less than the affection between siblings.

This is not surprising at all. Because in a person's life, although there will be different friends at other stages, in the early years of a person, this kind of emotion established through games and getting along day and night is the purest and the most solid, because there is no utilitarianism.

The adults of the two families were happy for them when they saw that the children were as good as one person. But the adults were relieved for a long time, and as time went by, they gradually discovered the side effects.

What's going on?

Or because of Hong Yanwu.

Although this kid has a long memory, he doesn't dare to be disrespectful to his father anymore, and he can even listen to the words of adults and stop going out to cause trouble. But after all, the active factor is firmly growing in his body, and after only a few days of honesty, he can't help but want to "make a difference". Besides, this time there is a follower, so naturally you have to play another wonderful time.

Hong Yanwu is a well-known thief who is bold, neither believing in evil nor afraid of ghosts. Therefore, he asked Chen Liquan to prove his courage to him, which is called "practicing courage".

There are many things he prescribes to train courage, such as going to the moat to catch dead cats and dogs, going to the hospital morgue to "advent", going to the locust tree full of "hanged ghosts" to read villain books, and letting the meat worms burrow into the neck and drum. You have to go to the old warehouse of the tannery to hang out with rats that are bigger than cats.

And when Chen Liquan did it one by one, Hong Yanwu jumped down from the high wall with him. As a result, Hong Yanwu was very clever and jumped into the sand mound next to the wall. And Chen Liquan was stupid, and squatted with a "bang......

Because of this incident, Chen Liquan's mother began to object to her son playing with Hong Yanwu, she told her husband that Hong Yanwu's child loves people, and all the neighbors told her that the kid was not authentic.

But Chen Deyuan didn't care too much, but felt that his wife was making a bit of a fuss. And he also thinks that his son is too honest when he is young, and it may not hurt to play with a naughty child.

And just when the couple had a dispute, the words of the two were heard by Chen Liquan, who was lying on the bed with a sore foot and inhaling straight air, and he couldn't help but pull his voice to set it up for his friend.

"Isn't it authentic? It's good to pinch the third child of the Hong family, and always take me out to cut and play with it. Well, he taught me how to swear, and he could get some tomatoes back to the sea for five cents. The two beans are bought, and the rest of the drops are put into clothes and come back to drops. He also took Zhou to buy a movie ticket to watch two movies, both of which have seats, but they are just half-stretched, and they always have to change seats......"

This sentence of "he is still there" made Quanzi's mother almost drip out of her face when she heard it, and Chen Deyuan also opened his mouth wide.

Look at this honest pimple, it's better not to talk about it!

Chen Liquan is indeed a good and honest child. Out of loyalty and trust in his friends, he sincerely objected to what adults thought of Hong Yanwu, but felt that this kid was very good, a very interesting, very sincere, and very good friend.

But the simplicity of this kind of rural child brought him the pain of "mistaken banditry".
