Old Mrs. Zou said: "How can your name be called Niuer?" Is this your milk name? ”

Niu Er no longer beat rhythmically like just now, and obviously slowed down, only to see that his eyes were slightly red, and there were tears rolling in his eyes. I thought to myself: "If you shed tears in front of others, you must not be a manly hero." Thinking about it, the two eyelids blinked many times, and they forcibly held back the tears. Smiled mischievously, and as if nothing had happened, he continued to beat again.

While beating, he said: "Back to my mother-in-law's words, Niu Er was picked up by the master from the cow's back, and the master saw me pitiful, and I was found in the swaddling clothes on the cow's back, so I named Niu Er, which is actually the meaning of the son on the cow's back." ”

"Oh?" When Mrs. Zou heard this, she couldn't help but feel pity, took Niu Er's little hand, and let him sit on the chair. looked at Niu Er with love in his eyes, and continued to ask, "Then who are you living with now?" Did Daddy find it? ”

Niu Er saw that Mrs. Zou was not as unkind to herself as others, so she let go of her defense and shook her head and said, "I now live with my master and mother, and they treat me very well, just like their children." It's just that Shi Niang occasionally sighs, if only I were his son. ”

"Your master and sister don't have children?"

Niu Er nodded and said: "No, it's just that every time my mother says that if I am really her son, I will think of my mother, although I have not seen her, but I will miss her very much." ”

"Then you don't want to find your mother?"

Niu Er showed a slightly sad look, took out a string of lotus bodhi chains from his arms, and said: "The master once said that this blood lotus was placed in my swaddling clothes, but fortunately, it was placed on the outermost side of the swaddling clothes. Otherwise, if I fall off because the rope on the ox's back is not strong, it will break me. After that, he sighed and said: "The master thinks that this string of blood lotus flowers is a token of recognition between me and my relatives, and I will take it with me every time I go out to collect medicine, to see if I can find some clues." But now the more time passes, the more the master feels slim. ”

Mrs. Zou took the blood lotus in her hand and looked at it and said, "I see that the blood lotus on this string looks like the fruit of some tree. ”

Niu Er said: "My master also said so, he said that he had never seen this kind of blood lotus before meeting me, and he didn't know that Shengjing still had fruits like lotus flowers, and the color was still cinnabar, which was the first time I saw it in our Shengjing." ”

Mrs. Zou said: "This is your token, but you have to take it well, maybe your father and mother will rely on this to recognize you one day." With that, she put the blood lotus into Niu Er's palm, and gently wrapped his palm around his hand, so that he could keep it well. He also said, "In the future, as long as the old woman is here, you can come to the old woman and treat me as your relative." ”

Hearing this, Niu Er couldn't hold back any longer, and his eyes turned red again.

Seeing this scene, Mrs. Zou hurriedly comforted: "Don't be sad, I will be your relative in the future." As he spoke, he took Niu Er into his arms.

"What relatives are not relatives?" During the banquet, the Wang family came and saw a boy, about the same age as Zou Meichen, with the air of a little hooligan in his expression. Laughing with the old lady for a while, crying for a while, looking very intimate, I don't think she is a little disgusted, I saw her thin eyebrows and double upset to enter to say goodbye.

Suddenly, she swept away and saw that Mrs. Zou was looking up at her, she immediately seemed to be a different person, her face was like a peach blossom, but there was a hint of wanting to smile or not at the corner of her mouth, and she saluted and said goodbye.

Mrs. Zou motioned for Wang to get up and said, "This is Niu Er, we will all be a family in the future, you will take this Niu Er around in a while, so that he can be familiar with the environment." ”

Lan seemed to be righteous, and thought to herself: "Do you want to give Mei'er to this angry little deflated third in the future?" This is a fool's dream. But he replied: "Please rest assured, my mother, the child will take Niu Er to look around, and let the son visit this house up and down, inside and out." With that, the two walked out one after the other.

Niu Er looked embarrassed, this was the first time in his life that he was called Gongzi by others, usually others call him, "buddy" and "child", and sometimes even the title is omitted, just, "hey" and "hey" screamed. He had already gotten used to it, but he was a little uncomfortable when he was called by Wang today.

Turned to thought: "It's still a person in the Zou Mansion, easy to get close to, although the master and the master also have a preference for me, but the master and the lady mention from time to time that I am not his son, it is inevitable that it will hurt a little, unlike the old lady Zou I met now and the Wang family in front of me." "After all, it's still a child, thinking about it, I don't feel happy in my heart, and I actually laughed.

Wang had already seen Niu Er irritable, and when he smiled like this, he couldn't help but feel a little more disgusted, and sneered: "The rotten toad has eaten the meat, and the branches have to be suppressed." ”

Fang Cai Niu Er still felt that Wang's intimacy was tight, but he didn't expect the change in an instant, like ice water, pouring from the head to the soles of his feet, which made people feel chilled.

Lan looked at Niu Er stunned, just in line with his own mind. "Snorted", turned around and left, leaving Niu Er alone in the wind.

Niu Er's eyebrows showed a melancholy color, his eyes were empty, and after a while, tears seemed to be about to burst out of his eyes, and he thought: "Don't trust anyone lightly in the future, any!" After thinking about it, he wiped his eyes with the back of his hand and walked away.

Not long after Lan left, his psychology became more and more uneasy, and he couldn't help but slow down, thinking: "No matter how you say that he is also an old lady's person, how can I just say such unmeasured words, even if I don't like Mei'er to give her in the future, I shouldn't have been so hasty to refute his face, how can I be good?" I couldn't help but think about it, and turned back to look for Niu Er.

At this time, Niu Er had already crossed the wall and walked to the edge of the pond, where else could she find it.

Niu Er saw a woman sitting by the pool, and he recognized that person was Zou Yichen at a glance. I was about to call her, but I thought about it: "It's been more than a few years since the last time I ignored her, and this meeting must come to her, or how can she see me and recognize me?" ”――

It turned out that Dr. Xu often treated people in Zou's mansion for more than ten years. When Niu Er was a child, when there was no one to take care of Niu Er, Dr. Xu would occasionally bring Niu Er to the mansion to carry out looking, smelling, and inquiring, and taking pulse medicine.

At that time, Zou Yichen suddenly saw Niu Er, and he felt interesting, and wanted to go up and push him, but he was attracted by the slingshot in his hand. She was so surprised by the novelty that she didn't pay attention to the leap of "Woo" and snatched the slingshot. I wanted to fight sparrows by myself, but I didn't have any time to show tea.

Niu Er wanted to pass the slingshot and pick up the pebbles on the side of the road, Zou Yichen pointed to where he hit, very accurate, Zou Yichen saw this and shouted Niu Er to teach her the trick.
