In June, it was already early summer, and the weather was hot and cool.

The weather on the island is like this, the mountains are full of trees and vegetation, and it is hot and cool. It doesn't feel like the scorching sun, and there's no stuffiness like dark clouds, which is incomparable in the city.

The sea breeze carries the salty, salty, smell of the sea, which Qiao has not smelled for a long time, this familiar smell. He took a deep breath and said to himself: Comfortable! It's this feeling that I haven't felt for a long time.

The willow branches are swaying and the breeze is blowing.

Qiao Guo walked on the boulevard home, stepping on the bluestone path under his feet, and his soul fell silent unconsciously.

When he stepped on this island, he immediately felt refreshed, and he didn't have to be exhausted from crawling in the sea of questions every day like he did at school.

I lived in school for a few weeks in a row, and if it weren't for my mother's phone call every Friday night, I kept urging. Let him buy a few cans of milk powder and send them to little Pete, Qiao really doesn't plan to go home this week, and it's not interesting to go back when his parents are not at home.

He carried a large backpack and two bags in each hand. Knowing that he hadn't lived in his house for a long time, there must have been a strong musty smell, so Qiao didn't plan to go back to his own house, and walked directly towards his sister's house.

Just past two villages.

Qiao saw from a distance that on the long steps ahead, there was an old man carrying a fat doll on his back. I still have a load of things on my shoulders, and I don't know if it's because the things are bent over, or if I'm old and hunchbacked. I saw that she was struggling to lift her feet, climbing up step by step.

Vaguely he felt this back, as if his grandmother was carrying Pete, but it didn't seem to be.

Because before Joe left home, Pete wasn't that old! Grandma, she is not so old, and he has the impression that grandma always walks with a gust of wind.

But he couldn't help but be curious, so he quickly followed, and deliberately did not take the steps, and went directly to the front of the old man who was carrying the child from the side.

When Qiao turned around quietly, he was stunned all of a sudden, his eyes were red, his nose was sour, his throat seemed to be blocked, and he shouted to the old man: "Milk-milk!"

Grandma heard a big boy's shout, a bit like Xiao Guan's voice, but she thought it was very impossible, Xiao Guan was still in school in the city?

But grandma wished it was a small situation, she hadn't seen him for a long time, and she missed him very much. So, she looked up and around.

Qiao Guo looked at his grandmother's skinny skin, the wrinkles on her face became more and more furrowed, there was no black hair on her head anymore, and her reaction was so slow, he then shouted twice: "Grandma! Grandmother! I'm Joe! Grandmother! Why do you age so fast! ”

"Ahh This shout woke up Pete, who was asleep on her grandmother's back, and immediately cried.

Grandma saw that Qiao was right in front of her, and he had grown a lot taller, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a high nose, a handsome boy. Laughing happily, "Little! Condition! Grandma's good grandson, I miss my grandmother, I miss my grandmother, hurry up—go home with my grandmother. ”

Qiao Guo looked at his grandmother and smiled, the loose skin on his face was all pinched together, he was so distressed, grandma worked like this: "Grandma! Grandmother! Let me do it, let me help you choose! As he spoke, he put down what he was holding and was about to take up the burden.

"No, you don't! No! Besides, you are still young and can't carry heavy burdens on your shoulders, and your grandmother is fine. Grandma excused herself, but she was reluctant to let Qiao Guo, who rarely went home, do heavy work.

Later, grandma couldn't help Qiao Qian's repeated requests, so she let Qiao Guo take the burden.

Looking at the two big bags of things on the ground, Grandma asked, "What's the matter!" What do you bring home with you? Such two big bags? ”

"Grandma! There was a bag of three cans of milk powder that I bought for Pete's. There is also a bag of my quilt cover, which has not been washed for a long time and smells of my sweat, and I want to bring it back to my grandmother when I go home today. As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao realized that this was wrong, and immediately changed his words: "Grandma! I'll wash the duvet cover myself when I get home. As he spoke, he lifted a bag on the ground.

Grandma didn't pick up the burden this time, her body was much lighter, she just carried a bag in her hand, and she wanted to grab the bag in Qiao Guo's hand: "Xiaoguan!" Shrewd! You give the bag to grandma, you haven't even picked anything on your shoulders, and it's already very heavy to carry this load of vegetable leaves. ”

Qiao didn't want to give it at first, and he was embarrassed to let his grandmother mention so much, but he couldn't help but urge his grandmother all the time. Besides, he is a novice, and he has too many things on him. Carry one on your back, carry two baskets of vegetables, and carry another bag in your hand. He couldn't bear it for a while, so he had to obediently hand over the bag to his grandmother.

Grandma walked in front, and Qiao Guo followed behind with a burden.

Qiao Qian, who has never picked anything, didn't feel it at first, but after a long time, his right shoulder hurt uncomfortably. He switched to his left shoulder, but he was a novice who couldn't pick it with his left shoulder, and he couldn't do it, so he couldn't grit his teeth and switch back to his right shoulder.

Qiao Guo felt that this load of vegetable leaves was getting heavier and heavier, and his steps were unconscious, and his pace slowed down more and more. Fortunately, the steps have long passed, and now the road is flat.

was about to enter the village, and there were gradually more people on the road, and he didn't know any of them.

Grandma is in good spirits when she is happy, and she proudly says: "This is my eldest son of Ping'er, my godnephew, who has not arrived home since he came back from today's holiday, so he will help me work!" ”

This one said, "Old lady! How blessed you are! recognized a goddaughter, and picked up such a big nephew for nothing, what a child. ”

The one said, "Grandma Fan! Your nephew is so diligent! It's like my own grandson is useless, he knows how to eat, and he asks us for money from time to time......"

Qiao Guo listened, and the beautiful waist in his heart was also straight, and his shoulders suddenly magically didn't hurt.

Turning his head to the front from time to time and looking at his Pete, Qiao also looked at him in wonder: "Pete! Little Pete! You're growing so fast! Will you be gone now? Or can you talk? ”

"Uh-huh-hmm-hmm!" Pete just responded the same way, his happy little hands fluttering, grabbing his grandmother's hair at once, and pulling hard.

Grandma didn't hear what Qiao said, she now made her baby grandson grin with a sore scalp, but she just smiled.

Little Pete grabbed harder.

Qiao looked uncomfortable, such a small child, and began to bully his grandmother like this.

Unable to stand it anymore, Qiao Guo went over and patted Pete's fleshy little hand gently.

Pete was beaten now, and he let go of his hand, and in a blink of an eye, he immediately cried "wow-wow", as if he had been wronged.

Grandma began to feel distressed again: "Little situation! It's okay! Our Yaozu didn't hurt at all when he scratched it at all, and when he grew up, he would be sensible. ”

"Grandma! You don't spoil Pete. When you grow up, you can't teach. Qiao reminded grandma.

"Yaozu is the youngest in our family, you say I don't spoil him, who do I spoil!" Grandma said stubbornly.

Qiao was really speechless to his grandmother now, and he sighed, "Alas! "I thought: Auntie! Uncle! If you don't come back, it's not just Pete who is afraid that he will be spoiled by his grandmother. Grandma's old life, I don't know how many years I can wait for you......
