Before leaving, Master Gu lit mosquito coils for his daughter. A slight thumping of his waist brought tears to Xiaoling's eyes.

"Dad, does your waist hurt again? If not, your job will be changed, didn't the factory director say that he would change your job a long time ago? Why don't you want to?"

"Why don't I want to? But I can't change it for dinner except for lathes and car parts? After so many years, if I am idle, I'm really afraid that my body will rust. Don't worry, Dad is fine. ”

Master Gu said, walked out of the room, waited for Xiao Ling to tie the door from the inside, and then came to the next door to find Master Dong to sleep together. Master Dong, like Xiaoling's father, is also a master.

His daughter Dong Yun was still classmates with Xiao Yao in junior high school. But she may be a special exception to Xiao Yao's hatred the most among all Xiao Yao's female classmates. As long as she saw Xiao Yao, she immediately hid away and never let Xiao Yao get close to her.

That's because when they were just in junior high school, they were both eating in the factory, and Xiao Yao saw that from the sparrow nest under the eaves, a small sparrow that had not yet grown hair came down, so he took it in his hand and fed it.

Dong Yun saw it from a distance and asked him what he was doing, Xiao Yao saw that she didn't speak, and continued to stuff rice grains into the little sparrow's mouth.

Dong Yun approached curiously to take a look, Xiao Yao stuffed the rice into the mouth of the flesh-red little sparrow, and stretched out his palm to Dong Yun to show her.

"Ouch, Mom. ”

Who knew that when Dong Yun saw it, she screamed and ran away, the shout was full of fear. Xiao Yao didn't know what to do, so he followed behind and asked:

"Dong Yun, what's wrong with you?"

Dong Yun didn't run a few steps, her feet were weak, and she stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Don't come, don't come. ”

Dong Yun's face was pale, tears welled up in her eyes, and her face was covered with cold sweat. She shouted wildly, shaking her hand at Xiao Yao is while supporting her body sitting on the ground and retreating sharply.

Xiao Yao was so frightened that he stood still, and the scene here also attracted a lot of onlookers. When Master Dong saw that it was his daughter who fell to the ground, he hurriedly rushed out of the crowd and hurriedly stepped forward to help Dong Yun up.

"Xiao Yun, what's wrong? What's wrong with you?"

Seeing his daughter's appearance, Master Dong was distressed and anxious, and his voice changed tone. Dong Yun suddenly got into his father's arms, pointed at Xiao Yao with a trembling finger, and couldn't speak anymore.

Master Dong's eyes were full of anger when he looked at Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao stared blankly at Master Dong, who was staring at him, and didn't know how to explain.

"What are you doing?"

Father Xiao's voice broke off, which startled Xiao Yao.

"I didn't do anything, she wanted to see the sparrows, so I showed her, and she was like that. ”

At this time, Master Dong also saw Xiao Yao holding a little sparrow cub with no hair and pink flesh in his hand, and the anger in his eyes was even worse.

"She's even scared of the *sparrow at home, how can she want to look at the little sparrow in your hand?"

Faced with her father's doubts, Dong Yun cried in a panic and said:

"I didn't know what he was doing, so I walked over and knew he was ....... ”

Dong Yun said, not daring to look at Xiao Yao with his eyes.

"Don't throw it away for me, such an adult, play everything. ”

Father Xiao's tone, with majesty, was unquestionable.

Poor Xiao Yao didn't know how to throw it, such a small cub, as long as he threw it, was there any chance of survival? But he didn't dare to disobey his father's words, so he had to run away with the sparrow, making everyone think that he was going to throw the sparrow far away.

That is, since then, as long as Dong Yun sees Xiao Yao, she hides far away, as if Xiao Yao will always have a sparrow in his hand. Later, after waiting for everyone to disperse, Xiao Yao found a ladder and put the poor little sparrow back into the nest.

Master Dong opened the door and saw Master Gu coming, asked enthusiastically, and after learning about the situation, he let Master Gu into the room.

"You, fortunately, your daughter didn't let him come to sleep with you, didn't you hear what Lao Wang said? Take him to sleep, you will be injured if you are not careful. ”

Lao Dong didn't know what Master Gu didn't know, so he told him what he heard Lao Wang complain about today, and Master Gu was also happy to laugh. The two old men have been together for decades, they see each other every day, they don't talk much, and they don't have as much gossip as women, they chat casually and go to bed together.

After breakfast the next day, everyone else had something to do, Xiao Yao was bored in the factory, he wanted to go to He Xilin to play, and he was afraid of delaying his work, he thought about it, he still said goodbye to his father.

"You're here, I can get you some delicious food every day to replenish your body, you can't buy meat when you go home, why are you in a hurry to go back?"

"I ...... I didn't even have a school bag, and it was not convenient to sleep here at night. ”

His father was reluctant to let him go, and Xiaoling also kept him with his eyes on the side. But he is a master who can't stay still, if it weren't for the weather, he would have wanted to go to the provincial city to play.

Seeing that Xiao Yao was listless and insisted on leaving, Xiao's father asked Lao Wang to bring the meat and eggs he bought in the morning.

"Go home and soak in some well water, and the next day, I'll have someone send you some back." ”

Strict fathers don't love their children without a watch, fathers love like mountains, and the love they often show is just a weight. At this time, Xiao Yao could feel the intimate warmth from his father's care.

"Factory director, in a few days, he will have to press his teeth. ”

Xiao Ling looked at Xiao Yao's lonely back, and really wanted to ask her to accompany Xiao Yao home, but she couldn't say it, so she could only remind her like this.

"Well, I know, you've been busy with your business for the past two days, and I'll send him some food the day after tomorrow. In this weather, you can only eat ice with well water for two days. ”

"Hey, okay. ”

Xiao Ling happily agreed to leave, and Father Xiao was also very happy. He slowly walked to the finishing workshop, and when he saw Master Gu bending over to process parts by the lathe, he came to him and patted him on the shoulder.

"Factory director, do you have something to do with me?"

Master Gu looked dazed.

"Are you in a hurry? If you're not in a hurry, you can rest, let's talk. ”

"Go ahead, I'll get it done, I'll help you finish it. ”

Master Dong hurriedly took over the conversation, and the factory director came to find it, so there must be something.

Father Xiao took Xiaoling's father to the office, poured him tea himself, and handed him a cigarette.

"What about Xiaoling, why don't you come and pour tea?"

Master Gu felt that his child had not done his job well, and he was uneasy.

"She went to the branch factory to register, and I came by myself. You're older than me, and I'll pour you a cup of tea, isn't that how it should be?"

"This child, don't get used to her too much, be strict, otherwise she will be proud. What are you looking for me?"

Master Gu said so, but he was really proud of his daughter in his heart.

"Let's talk about private matters today, what do you think of the relationship between Xiaoling and my son?"

Xiao's father knows every worker in the factory very well, he knows that Master Gu is a strict and old-fashioned family man, and he is really worried that he will not be able to get used to Xiao Yao.

"Alas, if you don't say it, I can't mention it. In fact, her mother is at home, and there are several groups of people who come to propose, but as soon as her mother talks about it, Xiaoling is anxious with her mother, and the girl can't help but be a mother when she grows up. ”

In Master Gu's words, there are two hidden meanings, first, my child is so good, he doesn't have to worry about marrying a good family, he can choose at will. Second, it is to answer Xiao's father's question, as long as Xiaoling is willing, we as parents will not interfere.

From Master Gu's words, Father Xiao also heard that he didn't look down on Xiao Yao, and his heart was a little relieved.

"We are men, according to reason, we should have said these words a long time ago, but you also know that my kid has been studying, I want to wait for him to graduate before implementing his family affairs, but now these two children are too close. As Venerable Masters, we can't help but make plans in advance. ”

Xiao's father bluntly said his worries, he knows his son too well, there is nothing in this world that he doesn't dare to do, in case he is not careful, he will give you something, how do you let the older generation get along in the factory?

Master Gu was very relieved to see that the factory director could consider it like this. But he didn't want to look like he was in a hurry.

"The children's affairs, I think they will be measured, Xiao Yao is young, hairy boy, it is inevitable that he will be a little impatient and impulsive. But my Xiaoling, I'm still sure. I don't think I'm in a hurry to do this, but I'll go home and talk to her mom when I have time. ”

Master Gu said it very tactfully, but it also implied that you are not worried about your son, and I am very relieved about my daughter. Father Xiao looked at his confident face and sighed in his heart.

Father Xiao didn't say anything, you can trust your daughter again, but the child in my family is not something that ordinary people can manage.

"Let's talk about it today, that is, let everyone have a number in their hearts, as long as you don't object, as for what to do, let his mother and sister-in-law take care of it. ”

The two old masters were related to their children, and the first conversation ended here. Then they chatted about some other miscellaneous matters, and the two parted happily.

The sky was beautiful, and after Xiao Yao left, it was sunny for two days in a row. On the morning of the third day, Xiaoling got up early in the morning, and urged Lao Wang to hurry up to buy fish, sell meat, vegetables, tofu, and thousands of knots, and buy a lot of them.

She accompanied Lao Wang, bought all the dishes that should be brought to Xiao Yao, and did not go back to the factory to say hello to the factory director, and went directly to Xiao Yao's house from the small market.

I haven't seen her for a long time, Xiao Ling hasn't looked forward to it so much, but after seeing each other, I have expectations again, Xiao Ling has been looking forward to the sun going down early every day for the past two days. Sometimes when she watched the sun go down in the west, she didn't want to enter the horizon when she hung on the horizon, and she couldn't wait to go up and stomp the sun down.

Xiao Ling had already changed into another set of dresses at this time, and her bag still contained the set of skirts as thin as cicada wings that Xiao Yao liked. She didn't go back to the factory to say hello, because she didn't want to hear any follow-up instructions from the factory director. Anyway, the factory director has already said that it is not a violation to let her deliver food to Xiao Yao today.

Xiao Ling was carrying a full load of fish, meat, and vegetables in her hands, and her hands were not free, so she could not exchange rests. After a long time, her delicate little hands, the blood strangled by the string was not smooth, and the fingers were black.

She didn't feel pain or numbness, and she didn't think about putting down rest and resting, and came to Xiao Yao's house all the time.
