"Daddy is the worst, last night I clearly remembered that I was sleeping in my mother's arms, but when I got up this morning, I ran to my brother's bed, and Daddy lied to me that I was sleepwalking by myself."

The sun overhead shone on the earth, making people feel suffocated, in such weather, even the most industrious peasants were reluctant to come out to work, and at the end of the quiet mountain village, beside a shallow stream, two children with rolled trouser legs and bare feet were fumbling in the brook under the scorching sun.

Maybe he was tired, but one of them, a child who was about five or six years old, tanned by the sun, straightened his waist, waved his fingers and said helplessly: "Obviously, my father wanted to monopolize my mother alone, so he carried me to my brother's bed, and he even lied to his own son, which is really unscrupulous." ”

On the side, the little boy who pouted and continued to grope in the stream said without raising his head: "Then when you woke up, you didn't go to your father's bed for the first time, scratch the legs of this bed and cry to show them?" You're careless! ”

The black child was surprised: "I heard that only women cry and make trouble and hang themselves. He stammered, "So boys can do the same?" ”

Maybe it's a little sore to bend over for too long, but it will be difficult to straighten up, and then rubbed his sore neck with his hands, and touched the sweat on the top of his head with his little arms, Zhang Jie said solemnly: "Zhang Hao, it's okay, this is a universal magic weapon for children all over the world." ”

The little boy named Zhang Hao on the side first thought seriously for a moment, then nodded and responded, "You're right. Brother, you're still smart! ”

He pursed his lips a little helplessly, looking at his reflection in the stream. The little hands and feet, and the little face that even Zhang Jie himself felt unbelievable, felt a sense of sadness for a while.

I want to be a big man who picks his feet, don't talk about such a thing, we can endure it if I don't have it attached to the emperor and the prince, but at least we have to arrange for an adult to possess it, what is this little arm and leg!

I don't dare to think about it, although it has been more than half a year, but thinking about this thing is all tears.

"Brother, didn't you say you can touch loaches and crabs here? Why haven't we found anything after looking for a long time? Zhang Hao, who was slightly dark and thin, looked up at the scorching sun above his head, although he was full of interest when he came, but in the end, he was a child's heart, and he would not gain anything for a while, so he began to be impatient.

"What are your father and mother doing on such a hot day?" Knowing that he had miscalculated, although this creek is very shallow, it is more suitable for small arms and legs like himself, but there is really no harvest in the stream, and if you want to catch fish, you can only go to the river. But like himself, if he really goes to the river, let alone catch a fish, even if he really catches it, he will definitely be punished when he returns home.

Since there was no harvest, Zhang Jie didn't plan to bask in the sun here, and after washing his face in the clear stream, Zhang Jie was ready to go ashore.

"At this time, my father and mother are sleeping at home? What's the matter, didn't we just run out while they were taking a nap? The dumbfounded black boy saw that Zhang Jie had already landed, so he asked puzzledly.

"Yes, everyone has gone to sleep, do you think those fish and shrimp can be sleepy? Now that the fish and shrimp have gone to sleep, where are we going to catch them? Let's go, go back, otherwise when it's too late to go back, my aunt should say that I'm taking you around. After going ashore barefoot, Zhang Jie took the lead and walked towards the village.

The little black egg behind him is five years old this year, one year younger than Zhang Jie, and is the child of the third uncle's family, because the third uncle is a scholar, so he naturally hopes that this black boy can also follow him in the future to ask about college, and naturally has high hopes for Zhang Hao.

"Brother, do you think my father is lazy." Seeing that Zhang Jie had already walked away, Zhang Hao, who held the small shoes on the shore in his hand, hurriedly chased after him, probably because he was not often barefoot, the little guy was separated by the small stones on the ground and grinned.

"Isn't the third uncle teaching you to read and go to school every day? Why are you lazy? Zhang Jie, who was walking in front, slowed down slightly, and when Zhang Hao caught up, he said: "You haven't walked barefoot, put on your shoes, don't wear out your feet before you get home." ”

Zhang Hao, who was grinning, waved his little hand and pretended to be heroic: "It's okay, brother, aren't you barefoot, I'll accompany you." In parallel with Zhang Jie, he said with a little dissatisfaction: "You see, there are three kinds of people in this world who are the laziest, the first is delicious and lazy, the second is not enterprising, and the third is to hide at home and give birth to a baby, and then all the hopes and responsibilities are all blamed on the baby." ”

Zhang Jie glanced at his little cousin strangely, and then nodded and said: "Truth, that's the truth, so, in order not to be ridiculed by your own baby in the future, you are also a lazy person, Sao Nian, work hard now, and wait for you to be admitted to the champion, and in the future, my brother will follow you to eat and drink spicy food." ”

pursed his lips, and immediately a little unhappy little black egg wondered:

"Brother, I wonder why you are so smart, grandpa doesn't let you go to school, just rely on your skills, you will definitely be the champion in the future, and when you become an official, I will follow my brother You eat and drink spicy food, isn't it better?"

Zhang Jie ignored him, and when the two entered the village, they saw that several children of the same age were playing in the mud house, which was quite a test of intelligence and skill, anyway, you can know from the strength of a few children who did not raise their heads, how obsessed they were with this game of playing mud.

walked straight past a few friends who were having fun, Zhang Hao on the side didn't resist the temptation, and looked at it twice with a pair of big round eyes.

Who knows, just look at it twice more and there will be a problem, only to see a little boy who is about eight or nine years old, only wearing a small trousers, shirtless and shouting at Zhang Hao: "Stinky fart, you have the ability to compete, I will have your surname if you don't lose and can't find a home." ”

In the face of this bare-chested man with a gangster, the most important thing is the provocation of a boy who is a head taller than himself, but Zhang Hao, who is five years and seven months old, did not hold back, his bare feet paused, and if he disagreed, he was ready to compete with the other party to see who fell more in the mud.

Zhang Jie, who was walking in front, didn't bother to pay attention to the battle of temperament of this group of heroes in the rivers and lakes, and walked over straight, Zhang Hao, who was lagging behind, looked at the shirtless bandit who was a head taller than him, and then looked at his cousin who didn't plan to support himself, knowing that staying at this time was just humiliating, so he snorted fiercely.

"It's a long time coming, we'll have a date later!"

With a wave of his hand and a stomp of his foot, the black boy hurriedly chased after Zhang Jie. When the two of them were in parallel, Zhang Hao said with dissatisfaction: "Brother, why don't you help me teach Li Goudan a lesson and play in a mud house, brother, you have never lost to others." ”

A little speechless, he glanced at the group of friends behind him who laughed after seeing Zhang Hao flee in the wilderness. Zhang Jie's face did not change and said: "They can win you with a mud house today, and after ten years, you are wearing a court official uniform, riding a jujube red horse, followed by three or five evil servants, walking in front of their group of mud legs, who do you say has won between you?" ”

"Makes sense, it makes sense!" Nodding, Zhang Hao, who seemed to be slightly longing, suddenly frowned, and said softly: "But how do I remember, brother, you seem to have said that ten years is too long, and you only seize the day?" ”

I don't know why the genes of the third uncle's family are so good, a five or six-year-old little fart child, now it is getting more and more difficult to fool, when he first came half a year ago, this kid was still like a stupid boy, what he said was what, but in the past half a year, this kid will use his own words to refute himself, this discovery makes Zhang Jie a little headache.

Approaching the door, I saw a group of children looking at the tree with their heads held high, Zhang Jie looked up along their gaze, and saw that on the big tree, an older child was holding the trunk of the tree and climbing up, after confirming the safety, the children on the tree were like monkeys with one hand and feet wrapped around the trunk, and the other hand reached out to reach the mulberries on the top of the tree, the purple-black mulberries made people drool when they looked at them, and the boy on the top of the tree opened his mouth and stuffed a string of mulberries into his mouth, and his small mouth agitated. The black juice was left at the corners of his mouth.

A large group of children under the tree drooled greedily, and threw some down one by one.

After a while, the children at the top of the tree had eaten enough, and began to throw them down, regardless of whether they received it or not.

When a string of mulberries smashed directly on the top of his head, Zhang Jie, who was not slow to react, grabbed it with one hand, looked at Zhang Hao, who was drooling on the side, after removing half of the string of mulberries and handing it to him, he threw the remaining half into his mouth, and suddenly, a sweet taste filled his mouth.

was hooked out by this sweet taste of the gluttonous worms in his stomach, and was about to kill into the battle group and go to the tree to fight, when a woman's impatient voice suddenly came not far away: "Zhang Jie, don't hurry home." ”

"Oh no, we must have found out what we stole out!" Seeing the woman who came in a hurry, Zhang Hao on the side suddenly said with a depressed face.

"No matter how big it is, at most it's just a scolding, and it won't be less than two taels of meat, and after a few days, he will be a good man again." When the two of them reluctantly walked forward, the woman in the distance had already hurriedly walked over, and the woman with a face that didn't seem to look good took Zhang Jie's little hand and said in a stern tone:

"Xiaojie, where did you take your third aunt's bracelet?"

I thought it was just a trivial matter of sneaking my cousin out and being discovered, and at most being scolded, how did it suddenly become a bracelet. Zhang Jie, who didn't react in his brain, asked strangely: "Mother, what bracelet?" ”

"What kind of bracelet could it be, that is, the jade bracelet white that your third aunt often brings, say, did you take it? If you take it, hand it over quickly, and then admit your mistake to your third uncle and third aunt, and your mother promises not to beat you. The woman, whose face suddenly became very gentle, advised softly: "Xiaojie, take out the bracelet quickly, the bracelet is brought by a girl, how bad it is for you to be a boy, and let your father buy you a good one in the county seat." It's bigger than that."

Looking at the Wang family who was obviously in a state of coaxing the child with some speechlessness, Zhang Jie naturally understood the killer feature of his mother, at this time, don't say that he didn't take it, even if he took it, he must not admit it, because once he admits it, I am afraid that he will have to endure the eighteen kinds of torture of the Wang family next.

But I know that Zhang Jie has to be naΓ―ve at this time, and a child has to look like a child, so he opened his big eyes and pretended to be innocent: "I didn't take the bracelet of the third aunt!" I just went to the creek with Haozi to catch fish, don't worry, I didn't go to the river, I went to the creek on the other side of the village, the water is very shallow. If you don't believe me, Haozi can testify to me. ”
