Zhao Meimei followed Xu Xu into the house, entering a slender small corridor, one room on both sides, and at the end of the corridor was a rectangular kitchen, one on the left and one on the right. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhao Meimei followed Xu Xu around the room, frowning, the child didn't have so much thought, what to say, Zhao Meimei said: "Xu Xu, your house is really broken!" ”

The smile on Xu Xu's face froze suddenly, with a timid expression: "I, I don't think my family is broken, I have lived here since I was a child, and our neighbor's house is the same as mine, I, I 。。。。。。 ”

Xu Xu looked at Zhao Meimei with big dark eyes, and asked cautiously: "Then my house is so broken, will you still play with me in the future?" ”

Zhao Meimei nodded: "Follow!" I play with you, what does it have to do with whether your house is broken or not? ”

Xu Xu thought about it and was happy: "That's right." ”

Zhao Meimei looked at Xu Xu's clay kang, very curious, leaned over, reached out and touched it, and asked in surprise: "You won't just sleep on it, right?" ”

Xu Xu nodded: "Yes, I sleep with my mother." ”

Zhao Meimei looked at the kang mat spread on the top of the earthen kang, which was a piece of white-colored floor leather, the edges were worn out, and fine burrs flew out.

There was a large cabinet on the edge of the kang and the door was closed.

Zhao Meimei was looking around curiously, and when she heard this, she turned her head and looked at Xu Xu with disdain.

Xu Xu sensitively noticed her gaze, was stunned, and the smile on his face fell little by little.

Zhao Meimei said: "Xu Xu, you are so ashamed! ”

Xu Xu lowered his eyebrows in frustration, and just wanted to speak, he listened to Zhao Meimei's show-off tone and said: "I won't sleep with my parents when I'm four and a half years old, I was independent at that time, you are so old, and you still sleep with your mother, it's really not ashamed!" ”

Xu Xu raised his head violently and looked at Zhao Meimei in a daze: "You, are you looking down on me because of this matter?" ”

Zhao Meimei nodded seriously, imitating Shi Yang's tone in a unique style: "Xu Xu! You're so old, you have to be sensible! It's not that there is no room next door, what's the matter with you and your mother huddled together! As far as our class is concerned, I know, no one still sleeps with their parents, you are too independent, you know? ”

Xu Xu's dark eyes suddenly bloomed with bright and dazzling light, staring at Zhao Meimei, and asked tentatively: "You don't look down on me because my family is broken?" ”

"Huh?" Zhao Meimei was looking at the cabinet on the clay kang, and when she heard this, she turned her head: "Why should I look down on you because of your broken family?" ”

Xu Xu muttered: "I thought you were 。。。。。。 ”

Xu Xu smiled easily in an instant: "Well, it's nothing, in fact, it's not that I don't want to sleep by myself, it's just that I stay in the house by myself at night, and I'm afraid." ”

Zhao Meimei looked at him: "What are you afraid of!" ”

As soon as Xu Xu mentioned this, he was aggrieved: "There are rats in my house, and at night, they run around, and I am very afraid." ”

Zhao Meimei teased: "Are you actually afraid of mice?" I'm not afraid! Let me tell you, my brother's house also has rats, and his house is not a two-story building, and I once went down the stairs and ran patronizingly, and I stepped on the rat with one foot. ”

Xu Xu listened very seriously at first, but after hearing it, he immediately had a disgusted expression: "Huh? Have you ever stepped on a mouse? ”

Zhao Meimei proudly showed off: "Ah! I'm still alive when I step on it! ”

Xu Xu couldn't hold back and asked, "Stamped to death?" ”

As soon as Zhao Meimei thought of this, she couldn't help laughing: "No, I stepped on it at the time, it was fluffy and soft, and it was slipped, if it wasn't for my Yangyang brother hugging me from behind, I would have to fall to the ground." ”

Xu Xu glared at the boss with a pair of beautiful eyes: "What about the mouse?" ”

Zhao Meimei replied casually: "Squeak twice and then run away." ”

Xu Xu had an admiring expression on his face: "Meimei, you are so amazing." ”

Zhao Meimei's thin eyelids squinted, and she chirped: "That's, except for my brother Yangyang, no one is bolder than me." ”

Xu Xu gritted his teeth and straightened his small chest: "Meimei, I listen to you, I'll sleep by myself tonight." ”

Zhao Meimei had a praising expression on her face: "It's pretty much the same!" ”

Zhao Meimei walked around the house, then lost interest and turned her head to the front yard to tease the puppy.

Xu Xu followed behind and brought out a plastic stool.

Zhao Meimei looked back and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Xu Xu grinned: "Let you pick grapes to play." ”

When Zhao Meimei heard about picking grapes, she was not in a hurry to tease the dog, stood under the grapevines, carefully selected a bunch of the largest and purpleest-looking, and asked Xu Xu to help hold the stool, she pinched the scissors and carefully cut them off.

For the first time in her life, Zhao Meimei picked grapes with her own hands, she got down from the stool, held the bunch of grapes in both hands, and looked up at Xu Xu and smiled.

Xu Xu still remembers Zhao Meimei's appearance that day.

The sunlight sprinkled a bunch of fresh and blue spots through the tender green grape branches and leaves, falling on this person's face, Zhao Meimei's eyelids were thin, the tails of her eyes were curved in a beautiful arc, and she shook her head coolly: "Look, Zhao Xu, this is the grape I picked with my own hands." ”

The implication is that it is just picking bunches of grapes! There's nothing in this world that I can't do Zhao Meimei, I'm amazing, right? Do you admire me?

Xu Xu looked at Zhao Meimei's special expression with envy at that time, and felt that she could do everything she wanted to do but couldn't.

In Xu Xu's heart, Zhao Meimei's status is the same as Shi Yang's status in Zhao Meimei's heart, it is a strong feeling of envy, love, dependence, and worship.

Zhao Meimei was hungry after playing for a while, she didn't talk to Xu Xu at all, and asked directly: "Xu Xu, do you have anything to eat at home?" I am hungry. ”

Xu Xu then remembered about eating, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, my mother left me food in the morning." ”

Zhao Meimei followed Xu Xu into the house, walked to the kitchen, and watched Xu Xu take out two bowls from the dilapidated cupboard cabinet, and directly lifted the lid of the big pot on the stove, and there were two small basins inside, one for rice and one for vegetables.

Xu Xu skillfully took out the small basin, carried the thermos on the ground, poured the hot water into the rice, soaked it, poured out the water again, repeated twice, and then put the rice in a small bowl, and took chopsticks to move the meal to the table in the room twice.

Zhao Meimei hadn't worked since she was a child, so she followed Xu Xu around and around, and she didn't expect to reach out to help.

Zhao Meimei stretched out her head and looked at the vegetables in the small pot, quite strange: "What is this?" ”

Xu Xu sandwiched a piece of watermelon skin for her: "Cold watermelon rind." ”

"Huh?" Zhao Meimei was surprised: "How can you eat this!" ”

Xu Xu took a piece of it and ate it himself: "You taste it, it's delicious." ”

Zhao Meimei was suspicious, took a bite, chewed, and her eyes widened a little: "It's delicious, sweet and sour!" ”

Xu Xule said: "If you like to eat, come back to my house to play, and I will ask my mother to make it for you." ”

Zhao Meimei nodded and agreed: "Okay." ”

When Zhao Meimei left Xu Xu's house that day, she took away two bunches of grapes with a plastic bag, one bunch she kept for herself to eat, and the other bunch for the hospital to honor Shi Yang.

Zhao Meimei thinks about her brother all the time, which is completely a subconscious instinct.

Xu Xu kept sending Zhao Meimei back to the station in front of the school and waiting for the bus with her.

Zhao Meimei stretched out her head to look at the direction where the bus was coming, sat on the road directly and complained tiredly: "Your family lives so far away, you still say that it is close to the school!" ”

Xu Xu helped Zhao Meimei carry the bag of grapes, like a little follower, and sat next to her: "I don't think it's far, I walk home from school every day." ”

Zhao Meimei was speechless and looked at Xu Xu: "Three stops, how good is it for you to take the car, fast and trouble-free." ”

Xu Xu clicked a pair of big eyes, and his long and thick eyelashes fanned back and forth: "It's not easy for my mother to make money, I don't want to spend it wildly." ”

Zhao Meimei asked curiously: "Why do you always say your mother?" Where's your dad? ”

Xu Xu said in a low voice: "I don't have a father, my mother divorced my father when I was young." ”

Zhao Meimei nodded: "Ah, so that's the case, then you are quite similar to Da Baozi." ”

Xu Xu was curious: "Who is Da Baozi?" ”

Zhao Meimei reached out and took the bag of grapes: "My buddy! Wait for you to come to my house to play one day, and I will introduce you to you. ”

Zhao Meimei stood up and took out the change in her pocket: "The car is coming, I'm leaving!" ”

Zhao Meimei ran two steps forward towards the car, and Xu Xu shouted after him: "Meimei, can I really go to your house to play?" ”

Zhao Meimei handed the money to the conductor and poked her head out of the car door and shouted, "Yes!" When do you want to go, let me know in advance, and I'll ask my mom to make you something to eat! ”

Xu Xu looked at the door that was closing a little bit, slowly covering Zhao Meimei's face, he stood in place, motionless as he watched the bus drive to the intersection in front of him and turn, disappearing little by little, with an extremely bright and moving smile on his face.
