The silver bottle almost jumped up and took the sugar gourd handed to him by Shen Yun.

The big watery eyes suddenly narrowed into a slit, and the pink little tongue poked out slightly, and gently licked it on the top of the mountain red.

In an instant, a trace of sweetness hooked out a mouthful of jade liquid, which flowed down his throat and into his stomach. The little girl fell into this taste that she hadn't tasted for a long time, with a little satisfaction, and her smile was like honey, and she said to Shen Yun: "It's so sweet." ”

It's so sweet.

It's just two words, but it hooks up the gluttonous worm in Shen Yun's body memory.

Smiling slightly, he motioned for the little girl to take a bite, and said in her mouth: "Since it is sweet, then eat it quickly." After eating, I just went to my uncle's house, which happened to kill this little time. ”

But the larynx is very obvious to move.

The little girl's attention had long been attracted by the sugar gourd, so naturally she didn't notice Shen Yun's abnormality.

Hearing Shen Yun's instigation, he bit down fiercely at the mountain red.

I only heard a slight crack, and the little girl was very satisfied with the sound of humming and chirping from her nostrils. But the teeth didn't chew hard, but kept making the half of the mountain red in the mouth exude a sweet and sour taste.

After a long time, he took two careful bites, chewed the fruit and chewed it, and swallowed it slowly.

Biting the remaining half of the mountain red into his mouth, in Shen Yun's puzzled eyes, the silver bottle handed over the sugar gourd that was still full: "Uncle, you can eat it too, it's delicious." ”

Shen Yun's nose was a little sour.

What a little girl she is.

Only a miserable life will make this eleven-year-old girl have calluses on her hands. But in the face of an attractive sugar gourd, when he ate one, he had already completely hooked out the gluttony in his heart, so he forcibly held back his desire and handed the sugar gourd to himself.

"Uncle, you can eat one too, wrap the rest in leaves, and let your grandfather and grandma taste it when you go home. Let Daddy and Auntie also taste it. ”

The corners of Shen Yun's eyes moistened.

In front of this little girl, his qi cultivation kung fu for more than 20 years in his previous life was like a layer of window paper, but it was pierced in just one sentence. After that, it can never be repaired completely.

Seeing Shen Yun's somewhat strange appearance, Yin Bei'er seemed to feel that Shen Yun was still worried about the scientific expedition.

has recovered his crisp throat, very delicately, pretending to be an adult, comforting Shen Yun: "Uncle don't cry, eat a sugar gourd, go back and work hard, you will definitely be able to pass the exam in three years." ”

People are often moved by irrelevant things. The women who watch Korean dramas will cry because of the joys and sorrows of the heroes and heroines; The men who love the army will always have tears in their eyes every time the people's soldiers have no complaints, no regrets and selfless dedication.

Shen Yun didn't feel that the tears he was crying at the moment were irrelevant.

Not for scientific research, not for crossing, just for the girl in front of her who is still in poverty and still has a pure heart.

This is his niece. From this moment, he felt that he had such a niece, not, as a traveler, as an actor, to face the little girl in front of him with all his acting skills.

"Eat, I'll eat."

The sugar gourd stained with tears tastes indescribably weird.

But Shen Yun's heart is sweet. The reluctant promises made before, at this moment, have gradually become the most resolute responsibilities in my heart.

After receiving Shen Yun's handover, there were still six red bamboo skewers in the mountains, and the silver bottle still swallowed a few mouthfuls of spit, but he forcibly endured his saliva, and according to the preface, he tore off a few leaves from the poplar tree on the roadside, one by one, and wrapped them very carefully.

After doing this, I cherished the sugar gourd in my arms.

What she held in her arms was a string of extremely precious treasures.

July Flowing Fire.

When early autumn arrives, the heat of summer gradually dissipates like flowing water. It's just that it takes a process to disperse, and at this time, in the afternoon, the sun is high, and there is still some sunshine.

Shen Yun felt that at such a time, the uncle's family should just have lunch.

So, after already going around the city, the two of them, who had nowhere to go, walked towards the east city.

Although the uncle is a small official, he has a lot of oil and water all year round. After so many years, I also bought a house in Dongcheng, near the county government.

Although it is not as good as those rich houses, the yard of more than two acres, the upper room, the hall, the guest room, the kitchen, and the utility room are displayed one by one, and the three rooms in Shen Yun's house are not comparable at all.

I followed my memory to the door, and the two black lacquered doors were closed. Only the two door knockers were not locked, and Shen Yun knew that there were still people in the uncle's house.

The silver bottle seemed to want to say something, and Shen Yun naturally knew what she wanted to say. He just shook his head, sighed, and stopped the words that were about to be blurted out, and then stepped forward and knocked lightly on the knocker.

When I knocked on the door three times, I heard someone in the courtyard answer: "Come on, come on, wait a while." ”

The footsteps of the people who came were very heavy, and Shen Yun didn't need to look to know that this was the son of the uncle, the youngest in his generation, called Shen Tao. Although his age is only one year younger than himself, compared to his thin body, Shen Tao is much fatter.

The sound of footsteps hitting the ground approached, Shen Tao walked to the door, looked through the crack in the door, and when he found that it was Shen Yun and the niece who lost money, the respectful look on his face disappeared in an instant.

With a little disdain, he opened a door, turned half his body sideways, and Shen Tao said: "Oh, isn't this the fourth brother, my father was still talking about you just now, and I didn't want you to come." ”

The half of the door that was let out couldn't let Shen Yun and Yinhua'er pass through at all.

The six branches of the Shen family have long been separated, and Shen Yun is not a concubine of the long house, Shen Tao's approach does not feel moral condemnation in his heart at all.

Shen Yun could only wait quietly in front of the door, Ren Shen Tao looked up and down, and then asked from above: "What's the matter, don't go to the state school to see the list today, what are you doing at my house?" ”

Yinhua'er is still young, and she can't hold things in her heart, and her face is already full of anger.

However, Shen Yun was better, ignoring Shen Tao's questioning, and asked lightly: "Uncle Ke, I'm looking for him, not you." ”

"Oh, fourth brother, ......" Shen Tao was about to say a few sarcastic words, when suddenly an uncle's voice came from the upper room inside: "It's Shen Yun, come in quickly." Shen Tao, don't make any trouble. ”

Even if he is a small official in the county, he has lived in the middle of the world for a long time, especially Shen Tao, who is extremely afraid of his uncle, but he has invisibly avoided a verbal confrontation.

Shen Tao snorted coldly, glanced at Shen Yun, turned around and walked inside, but said with contempt in his mouth: "Remember to close the door when you come in, the city is no better than the countryside, the house is full of valuable things, and no one is allowed to enter or leave." ”

Touching the head of the silver bottle, calming the little girl's angry emotions, Shen Yun was silent, stepped into the door, pulled the silver bottle that did not want to come in, and then took the door around, and then slowly walked to the upper room.

In the end, it was Shen Yun who miscalculated, and when he walked in the door, he understood why Shen Tao's expression was so mean.

The upper room is divided into three compartments, facing the door, and is used as a living room, where ordinary meals and guests are gathered. The wing room to the left is the bedroom of the uncle and aunt, and on the other side is Shen Tao's residence.

At this time, there were a few small dishes on the table in the guest hall, and there was still a little food in the bowl of the uncle's family of three.

Shen Yun sighed lightly in his heart, and bowed to Shen Xi helplessly: "I haven't seen you for a long time, Uncle is healthy." ”

Shen Xi nodded, chewed and swallowed the rice grains in his mouth, then put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, led Shen Yun to an empty stool in front of the table and sat down, and let the silver bottle sit on a small bench on the side, and then said:

"I came late from the county government today, so I just had dinner. You two are just in time, what's the matter, you can eat at lunch, why don't you eat now? ”

Without waiting for Shen Yun to agree, he beckoned the aunt on the other side, whose face was not very good-looking, to serve dinner for the two.

Shen Xi has always been such a person, and he will always be thoughtful in his front of people. Roughly this is also the reason why he can mix well in the county and go through three county orders without falling.

Ignoring the strange expressions of the remaining two people in his house, Shen Xi asked about some miscellaneous affairs in his hometown, and after a while, Shen Yun suddenly stretched out a pair of hands in front of him, holding a rice bowl that was no more than two or two meters, and put it on the table very casually.

Then, the aunt's unique shrill voice poured into her ears.

"Yo, fourth brother, I came to see the list today, I don't know if this solution test, but I won?"

The silver bottle turned pale.

Shen Yunrao has been hinting that he should be calm after coming in, and at this time, he can't help but make waves in his heart.

Although the uncle is a minor official in the county, he must have known the news of the release test one step earlier than himself. Although the six families are now living in their own ways, they are also a family in the end, and after the uncle comes back, how can he not mention it.

At present, the aunt's question is clearly to squeeze Shen Yun.

Shen Yun, who maintained a sense of sanity in his heart, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and replied in a cold voice: "Auntie is a good question." When the uncle didn't have time to say, Shen Yun was not ranked first this year, and he was ashamed of his father's high hopes. ”

A sneer.

Although the voice was small, it exploded into Shen Yun's ears like thunder.

According to Shen Yun's instructions, Yinhua'er paid attention to the rice bowl in his hand, and when he heard this laughter, his body also stiffened.

Shen Xi snorted coldly, and in an instant, the sneer turned into a warm comfort: "Hey, don't you just fail this year, then you will take the exam again in three years." However, fourth brother, you are such an adult, you always have to think about the family. Don't be presumptuous. ”

Shen Yun smiled.

It seems that there is no other expression other than a smile that can cope with such warm comfort.

"What my aunt said is that if you don't win this year, then you will try again in three years, if you fail repeatedly, you can get the grace of the official family and get a special name, which is also Shen Yun's blessing."

Shen Xi saw that the atmosphere in the room was a little cold, and immediately became a peacemaker, and said to Shen Yun with a smile: "If that's the case, it's good." If you want to give it a try, give it a try over there. ”
