Miao Miao is the child of my neighbor across the door, and there was also a child named Miao Miao in a hit TV series some time ago. However, my neighbor's Miao Miao is taller, fatter, and older than that Miao Miao.

And he's definitely the most sensible of all the 11-year-olds I've ever met, and he doesn't say anything about it.

Now the sensible kid is at my house and asks me to check his math homework for the weekend. It stands to reason that this work should be done by his parents.

However, his parents divorced before I moved here, and he lived with his father. His father is the head teacher of the second class of the third year of high school, and those children will have to take the college entrance examination in a little more than a month. So, he's busy right now.

As a result, this task could only fall to me, the neighbor's big sister who had a good relationship with him.

Miao Miao is not only sensible, but also has good academic performance. In his midterm exam, he got a perfect score in math.

However, today's volume is really substandard.

"Miao Miao, do you have someone you like?" 11-year-old child, it's time for him to understand that it's not good to fall in love now. Although I have never been in a relationship before, I think it should be no problem to enlighten an 11-year-old child.

After listening to my question, he said with an incredulous face: "As for the little boys in our class, they don't know how to dress up and wear school uniforms all day long, so I don't like them." ”

I don't even know which sentence to complain about first. Obviously he is still a little kid, and he is ashamed to say that others are little kids, and he obviously wants to wear the school uniform.

"I don't want to play a guess and I guess game with you, just tell me directly, what's on your mind. ”

After I said this, he suddenly lowered his head and his face turned a little red.

I thought he was going to tell me that he liked me, and I started to wonder how I could make him understand that it was impossible between the two of us.

As a result, he dropped another bombshell.

"Ms. Xie Feibai, please be my mother!"

In the past, he called me Sister Xiaobai, but now it's good, and there is a Ms. Xie Feibai. Still, it's quite polite.

I stared at him and winked, and winked again. After making sure he wasn't possessed by anything strange, it was still the little fat man I was on the other side of the door. I couldn't help but try his forehead with the back of my hand. It's a pity that he doesn't have a fever, so this is not his feverish nonsense.

He also looked at me with a serious face, as if he could see the earth if I didn't give him an answer.

Heaven and earth conscience, although his father is good-looking, has a house and a car, and he is such a 'sensible' son. But I still don't know his name, how can I like him?

It reminded me of the first time we met, and I remember it was noon on a Saturday and we just moved in that day. When I came back from grocery shopping, I happened to meet Miao Miao's father who went downstairs to take out the garbage.

At that time, I already knew from Grandma Yan downstairs, who was a high school teacher.

"You are Teacher Qu, hello, my name is Xie Feibai, and I just moved here. ”

"Well, hello. ”

If I had known that something like this would happen, I would never have added the previous sentence to Mr. Qu.

I was afraid that if I said it directly, it might hurt his young mind. So, I decided to find out why he was like this... Unbelievable idea.

"Why do you think that? Is it because you think I like your dad, or because you like me too much?"

He looked at me for a good two minutes before answering.

"Both. ”

"Why do you think I like your dad?" after all, I don't even know about it.

"Last Saturday, when my dad and I were downstairs picking up leaves, I saw the way you look at my dad, the kind of eyes that are full of affection. ”

Seeing that he still had something to say, I didn't interrupt him, and a qualified audience should not interrupt others while they were speaking.

"And, I've been watching it carefully these days, and you're smiling happily every time you say hello to my dad. ”

I think he always looks at me weirdly these days, and it's because of this.

"That's all?" That's all it takes to be sure that I'm in love with his dad, and that's too arbitrary.

He said confidently, "That's all, that's enough." ”

"First of all, I would like to give you a credit for remembering a small incident that happened last Saturday......"

Before I could finish speaking, he interrupted me, "That's not a small matter, it's a big matter about my father's and my happiness." ”

"Do you know how a good listener does? They don't interrupt people casually, you see, I didn't interrupt you when you said those things, right?"

As I said earlier, Miao Miao is a sensible child. So, after hearing what I said, he immediately said sorry to me.

And assured me, "I will never do this again." ”

Although looking at his expression, it was more like he was flattering me. It doesn't matter, though, as long as he can remember my words.

"Moreover, after discovering your conjecture, you did not immediately come to me for verification, but carefully observed me for a week, and then came to me to say it, and also praised it. ”

A child is indeed a child, although he is a little embarrassed, but the smile on his face will not deceive. However, some parents are very unqualified, and they never praise their children.

"Still, I'll tell you that you're wrong. After saying this, I stopped talking, because I saw that he couldn't help but want to speak.

"Where am I wrong? You just looked at my dad with affection. Moreover, it is also played on TV that a woman is good to the child of a single father, and she will marry that man in the end. ”

The corners of my eyes twitched, and I tried to restrain myself without rolling my eyes in front of him. Sometimes, it's true that children are easier to handle than adults.

However, none of the children I have seen whose parents are divorced are like Miao Miao, and they have exhausted all means in order to prevent their parents from finding stepfathers and stepmothers for themselves.

It's like Miao Miao, his father didn't rush to find it, he found it himself. Moreover, those children, the most interested are not TV series, they are most interested in anime, games and snacks.

"On the day you said that, I also had some impressions. ”

Hearing this, the little fat man had an expectant expression on his face again.

"However, I don't think you're affectionate. To be precise, it should be a look of envy. ”

The little fat man obviously didn't accept my answer, "What is there to envy about picking up leaves?"

"The point is not to pick up leaves, it's about you and your dad picking up leaves together. ”

Hearing this, his eyes lit up at once, and the little flame called hope burned again.

My next words were like a banana fan that extinguished the flame mountain, and I fanned out that small flame at once.

"When I was your age, I... Dad didn't do anything with me. So, when I saw you with your dad, I was a little reminded of what happened when I was a child. My eyes may have changed a little, but it wasn't because I liked your dad. And you, because of this wrong judgment, have a preconceived idea in the following observation of me. If you observe more carefully, you will find that I will also smile like Grandma Yan, Qianqian, Xiaotao, and Qianqian's parents. That's me being kind to my neighbors. ”

"No way. He whispered.

It seems that he is already a little suspicious. I just need to work harder to make this oolong incident have a happy ending.

"My dad is so nice, how could you not like him. Brother Xu Ye, he is not worthy of you at all. Brother Xu Ye is still illiterate, my father is a high school teacher, and he knows a lot of words. Also, last time, you asked him to buy aged vinegar, and he bought back soy sauce. If my dad were to buy it, he wouldn't be wrong. Miao Miao said excitedly.

When he said this, I glanced into Xu Ye's room. Fortunately, he is not at home now, if he hears Miao Miao's words, he will probably be sad for a few days.

Xu Ye moved in with me, so it is natural for everyone to think that the two of us are boyfriend and girlfriend. Grandma Yan downstairs, when she saw me teaching Xu Ye a lesson, she would always persuade us, 'Little couple, don't quarrel, if there is anything, you can discuss it well.' ’

I was actually to blame for this, because I felt that it was too troublesome to explain my relationship with Xu Ye to them, so I let them misunderstand. Of course, this is also a good thing, that is, people don't think about introducing a boyfriend to me. Similarly, they wouldn't think about introducing a girlfriend to Xu Ye.

"Miao Miao, it's not right for you to do this. "He can say these words in front of me now, maybe he will say them in front of Xu Ye one day. Moreover, if this continues, Miao Miao may become a villain who chews the root of his tongue behind other people's backs when she grows up. It's just sad to think that because of this little thing, in the future, this sunny and sensible little boy will become a street rat that everyone scolds. I'm definitely not going to let that happen, so I'm going to make him realize his mistake now.

"It was indeed his fault to buy the wrong thing, but after that, he went back to buy the vinegar again. Also, he is not illiterate, he is dyslexic, so he has no way to teach you to do your homework. ”

Miao Miao looked at me stunned, it was obvious that for an 11-year-old child, he still didn't quite understand what dyslexia was. He didn't quite understand how serious the consequences would be for saying this behind his back. Because children at this age like to do this, after all, I also came here at this time.

"Dyslexia is a disease, and Xu Ye is actually very sad. After a pause, I added, "I can understand your desire to work hard for your own happiness, but you shouldn't belittle Xu Ye to achieve your goals. There is no impermeable wall in this world, think about it, how sad your brother Xu Ye should be when he knows what you said. ”

Hearing me say this, Miao Miao also realized her mistake, "I know, I will never say this again in the future." I won't tell anyone about these things, and I will apologize to Brother Xu Ye. ”

"Not only Xu Ye, but you can't talk about others behind your back, understand?"

He nodded solemnly.

Now that this problem is solved, it is just a matter of clarifying that matter again.

"You asked me to marry your father, do you want to find someone to accompany you?"

He glanced up at me, then nodded silently.

"Then why don't you let your mom and dad remarry?" he never told his mom in front of us, and I didn't want to ask anything. However, I've been really curious about this question for a long time.

He looked at me and sighed heavily.

I reached out and touched his head, "What do you sigh at a young age, when you grow up, something will make you sigh." ”

"My mom didn't like my dad at all, and besides, she wasn't with me, she cared most about her work. Also, she doesn't know how to cook. ”

Whether his mom cooks or not, it doesn't matter to me, but I'm curious, "Why do you know that your mom doesn't like your dad?" His dad doesn't look like someone who would say this to a child's face.

"I listened to my aunt and she said that her mother didn't like her father, she just used her father as a stepping stone. ”

Hearing him say this, I somewhat understand why Grandma Yan shows distressed eyes every time she sees Miao Miao.

Seeing that Miao Miao didn't seem to like mentioning her mother very much, I decided to change the question, "Has your father always been the homeroom teacher in the third year of high school?"

Miao Miao glanced at me suspiciously, but although he didn't understand why I asked, he still answered me, "No, after divorcing my mother last year, he became the head teacher of the second class of the third year of high school." ”

He has a deep resentment against the second class of the third year of high school, and he is very angry every time he mentions it.

"Well, I see. ”

Now, he was even more puzzled, "Sister Xiaobai, what do you understand?"

Okay, now that he's starting to call me Sister Baibai again, it seems that my plan has succeeded.

"I can't be your stepmother, but we're friends. As friends, we should help each other. So, I'm going to talk to your dad about it today. ”

Miao Miao pursed her mouth, "Are you going to tell your father all these things?"

"Of course not, just treat this matter as a secret between the two of us. As for me, I will enlighten him well and let him get out of the shadow of divorce as soon as possible. Or, I can ask him to find you a new mom. ”

Miao Miao hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can't you really be my mother?"

"No, you can't. "I seriously and firmly rejected him.

When I got this answer, his shoulders collapsed all at once.

"Then, Sister Xiaobai, don't persuade Dad to find my mother again. Persuade him to take me back to my grandparents. ”

I was a little puzzled by what he said, because I don't think children like to move very much. Of course, a big reason is that I was like this when I was a kid.

"Why?" asked those who didn't understand, after all, this was a major event related to the happiness of their father and son.

"After Mom and Dad divorced, my grandparents thought about moving us back. Dad thought Mom might come back, so he refused to move out. ”

From his words, I came to the conclusion that his father must have loved his mother very much. This is both a good thing and a bad thing for me.

"So, did you stay to take care of your father?"

"That's the main reason, and the other thing is that I also want to give my mom a chance. However, it has been almost a year since they divorced, and their mother has never returned. ”

When he said this, there was a deep sense of loss in his eyes. It can be seen that deep down in his heart, he also misses his mother.

I felt that he should need a hug now, so I hugged him, and the little fat man's body stiffened for a moment, but quickly relaxed.

"Thank you, Sister Xiaobai. He whispered.

After letting go of him, I looked at him seriously, "Mommy is Mommy, if you miss her, give her a call." ”

He said stiffly, "I didn't miss her." ”

I didn't dismantle him, but asked another question that I was concerned about, "Your aunt didn't tell you those words, did she?"

He nodded, then told me that he had accidentally heard.

Then you shouldn't let these words influence your judgment, you're 11 years old and have to have your own thoughts. ”

He looked at me for two minutes before he whispered, "Will this disturb my mother's work?"

Hearing this, my heart was about to melt, and at this time he was still thinking about his mother, he was really too sensible.

"Then send her a text message, you don't have to send it every day, just send her once a week. That way, it won't disturb her work. ”

Miao Miao thought seriously for a minute, "Sister Xiaobai, I know what to do." ”

"Well, it's good to know. "To be honest, I was really relieved that he said that. Because I hadn't figured out how to answer his mother's question that wouldn't answer him, thankfully he didn't.

I looked at the time, and it was almost time for dinner.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Braised pork ribs. He replied quickly, as quickly as if he had been rehearsed beforehand.

I pointed to the rolls on the table, "I'll go get the money, you change the rolls first, and after changing the rolls, we'll go down and buy ribs." ”

"Good. ”

Seeing the smile on his face again, I also felt a lot more relaxed.

By the time I came out of the bedroom, he had finished correcting the papers.

"Sister Xiaobai, I've changed it, you see. ”

I took a closer look, and this time there really was no problem.

"Good, no problem, let's go. ”

We didn't go downstairs right away, but went to his house first and put down all his things.

It wasn't my first time visiting his home, but it was definitely the first time I had taken a serious look at his home. The shoe cabinet at the door, with a pair of pink slippers on top, has been waiting for the hostess who may never come home. It's like......

"Sister Xiaobai, what's wrong with you?"

Miao Miao's words suddenly brought me back to reality.

"These slippers are pretty good. I pointed to the pink slippers and said seriously.

Miao Miao said helplessly: "Dad said that this is my mother's favorite pair of slippers." After a pause, he added, "However, I think it's all Dad thinking too much." ”

"Okay, let's go down and buy ribs. "It's not good to hear him complain about his dad like this.
