Chapter 12: Two Youkai
"It seems that Dou Dayong is very good to you, you just recognize him as your father. Yuan Zheng sat up, leaned on the head of the bed, and jokingly.
"My uncle has long regarded me as his own child, and no one in the guard house knows that he is the most favored person, and I am the first to have any delicious food and fun, and there are people on the street who are playing tricks, and I am short and can't see it, so my uncle let me sit on his shoulder, and no child can sit as high as me and see clearly! My uncle also taught me boxing, took me on horseback, and made me a slingshot......
The more Doudou talked, the happier he became, but when he remembered that he was far away from the Great Northwest, he lowered his little head in frustration, and said with a small mouth: "What I want to do most is my uncle's child, but my aunt won't let me be surnamed Dou ......."
Yuan Zheng, who originally wanted to tease her for a few words, suddenly lost his interest, and felt that he was so bored, and a ten-year-old person was angry with a little child who had no father and no mother, as if he was bullying her.
"Didn't you bring me medicine, if you don't bring it over, it will be cold. Yuan Zheng felt a little unbearable, and pointed to the medicine bowl on the desk.
Doudou's love came and went quickly, and she felt a little embarrassed when Yuan Zhengyi said it, so she picked up the medicine bowl and walked carefully to the bed.
Yuan Zheng looked at the black medicine scalp a little numb, and secretly said that he was sick and dizzy today, or was he dizzy by this little girl, don't look at him who is never afraid of hardship in reading and doing things, but what he is most afraid of is drinking this bitter medicine soup, and at this moment he simply feels a little self-inflicted.
Doudou saw that he stared at the medicine bowl and didn't move, but he understood his mood very well, and said with a smile: "It turns out that the old man is as afraid of hardship as me!"
Yuan Zheng felt even worse when he heard it, this little guy is simply amazing, and his face changes faster than flipping through a book!
"I know, in the past, when I drank medicine, my aunt would always prepare some candied fruit for me, uncle, you must be the same as me...... By the way, I have something delicious here!" Doudou neatly opened the small purse on his waist, and kept muttering: "It's okay, it's okay, I didn't forget this when I changed my clothes just now!"
Yuan Zheng turned her head to take a closer look at what Doudou had turned out of her little purse, but she put her little hands together and climbed onto the bed, knelt beside Yuan Zheng and said with a look of encouragement: "Drink, drink, drink and give you something delicious!"
The bright eyes were full of eagerness, and it was really unbearable to see, so Yuan Zheng had to hold his breath and drink the medicine in one go. Bitter, it was really bitter, and his brows immediately furrowed.
Doudou saw that he drank the medicine, so he quickly stuffed the things in his little hand into Yuan Zheng's mouth, blinked his eyes and said, "It's delicious, this is made by my aunt herself, and I don't want to eat it." ”
I have to say that Yuan Hui's craftsmanship is very good, but it is a small piece of simple dried apricots, but it is more delicious than the dried fruit shops outside, and the sweetness relieves the bitterness in Yuan Zheng's mouth a lot.
Seeing that he liked it, Doudou smiled proudly: "My aunt knows that I like to eat sweet, so she deliberately put more sugar and mixed a lot of honey." It's a pity that I didn't take care of the belt when I was in a hurry this time, and I forgot to eat these small pieces during the festival......"
"Ahem...... ahem" Yuan Zheng suddenly felt that the dried apricots in his mouth had changed their taste, and it was almost two months since the nearest Mid-Autumn Festival, which means that this thing had been in the broken purse for at least two months or more, and with the little guy traveling thousands of miles from the northwest, it was dusty......
But the little face in front of him was so innocent that it was not good, and his eyes were so clear that there was no trace of impurities, Yuan Zheng couldn't bear to spit out the dried apricots after all, and swallowed it with a strong sense of discomfort.
"How old are you?" Yuan Zheng couldn't laugh or cry, Yuan Hui was stubborn, Dou Dayong was upright, they were not old and sophisticated, he never thought that the two of them had such great ability, and the children they taught were about to become fine.
"I'm six years and three months old, I'm a big kid!" Doudou straightened his small chest and raised his chin, as if that would make him look taller.
"I think you're like a little monster, you're so powerful and capable!" Yuan Zheng said, giving Doudou a thumbs up.
Youyou, I seem to have heard it from the old uncle who told the story, and it doesn't seem to be a good person!, "You're an old monster!" Doudou pouted a little dissatisfied.
"How did I become an old monster?" Yuan Zheng said curiously.
"I heard my grandmother say that you didn't start studying until you were nine years old, and you won the top prize at the age of seventeen, huh...... Although I don't know what the champion is, but I've heard people say it before, it seems to be quite difficult to be a showman, how can the champion be better than the show!
Yuan Zheng gritted his teeth and pulled his lips, this little guy is simply hateful, and he likes it!
He stretched out his hand and rubbed Doudou's little head, "Uncle is not that powerful, I started to read and write when I was four years old, but I was only officially apprenticed at the age of nine, which is really far worse than you!"
Seeing that he was in a little bad spirit after talking for a while, Doudou jumped out of bed very flexibly, pulled the crooked skirt, and then picked up the tray with the empty bowl and said: "After drinking the medicine, you have to sleep obediently, uncle, I will go first, and I will bring you delicious food with my grandmother later!"
Yuan Zheng waved his hand at Doudou, and when he saw her go out, he lay down again.
This little girl is too beautiful, too smart, too energetic, and whoever can have such a daughter will definitely be regarded as a pearl in the palm of her hand, and then ...... For him, there is already a pearl in the palm of his hand.
Although he didn't want to admit it, in fact, Xiang'er was indeed not as likable as Doudou, which had nothing to do with whether they were beautiful or whether they were smart or not.
Xiang'er is not in good health, and she has lost a lot of joy because of it, she is pitiful, but undoubtedly lucky. Born in a family like theirs, they were cared for wholeheartedly by their parents. She is like a delicate orchid in a greenhouse, unable to withstand the slightest wind and rain, fragile and sensitive, which makes people pity, however, it is only pity.
And compared with Xiang'er, this little girl named Doudou has no father, no mother, no support, and can be said to have nothing materially, but she is brave, optimistic, and strong. She is like a wild rose with thorns, gorgeous and wild, full of endless attraction.
At this moment, Yuan Zheng can fully understand his mother's stubbornness, such a little girl, for an old man like his mother in the twilight, is undoubtedly like a bright color in the gray life, how can it not make people yearn?
He thought that he had fallen in love with this quirky little girl, and that she would change his life, his Xiang'er, and his home......
