1996.

It was August, thousands of miles in the sky, and there were no clouds.

In the courtyard, the sun was scorching, and the tips of the poplar and acacia trees were emitting a slight light smoke, as if they were about to catch fire, and they choked and chirped like pinheads.

It was already time for lunch, but Hu Doudou's mother still hadn't cooked, and she stood at the door of the kiln as always, with her hands on her hips, shouting Hu Doudou like a lion roaring.

"Hey, hey," the little boy named Mao Mao quickly ran to the bottom of the big tree, raised his head, and looked at the little boy who had climbed to the branch of the tree, "Hu Doudou, listen, it seems that your mother is calling you." ”

"Shhhh Hush! Hu Doudou lowered his head and whispered to Mao Mao, the little boy under the tree, "Don't, don't make a sound!" ”

After whispering, Hu Doudou stretched out his left hand, grabbed the small branch on his side, barely stabilized his center of gravity, and then carefully stretched out his other hand and made a 'cover' gesture in the air.

"Bang."

With a loud bang, Hu Doudou's hand landed on the tree.

"Hahaha, hahaha, caught! Caught! ”

Hu Doudou was excited for a while, and held the caught knowledge tightly in the palm of his hand, like a treasure.

"Didn't you hear?" The little boy named Mao Mao reminded again, "Your mother was calling you just now, how loud and loud should you be!" ”

As soon as Hu Doudou thought of his mother, the joy on his face suddenly disappeared, and he was replaced by a sad expression.

"I hear you." Hu Doudou said sullenly.

"You're going to be beaten again!" The little boy named Mao Mao gloated, "If your mother knew that you were climbing a tree again, he would definitely break your leg." ”

As soon as Hu Doudou heard this, his nervous hair immediately stood up.

So he didn't say a word, and like a snake, he slipped down the thick pole.

"Maomao, I only know that I will give it to you, I don't want it."

Hu Doudou said, hurriedly took Mao Mao's hand and stuffed the knowledge in his hand into his hand. He quickly dusted off the dirt from his clothes, and then ran home like a fly.

Along the way, Hu Doudou heard his mother's hoarse screams and couldn't help but think: Ah! I'm going home late, and I'm going to get a stick again...... Oh! If only I hadn't caught him.

Soon, in less than five minutes, Hu Doudou ran back to the yard in one go.

In the yard.

Seeing Hu Doudou's frightened expression, Hu Huilan leaned over, touched his thin face with her hand as she usually comforted his injured little heart, and asked softly:

"Doudou, where did you just go?"

Doudou saw his mother's amiable appearance, so he truthfully explained, "Mom, I'll go to the ditch to find out." ”

"Well, I know."

Immediately afterwards, Hu Huilan saw the stitches on his pants that had been torn, so she couldn't help but nag again:

"You're climbing a tree again? Isn't it? ”

Hu Doudou lowered his head and said nothing.

"Okay," Hu Huilan muttered, "I knew you were climbing a tree again, you look, on your trouser legs, on your shirt, ahhhhh Look, dirty, how do you see people? ”

Although Hu Huilan was so impatiently nagging, her tone did not mean not to give people the stairs, but it was much softer than before.

Hu Doudou can hear this.

Hu Doudou still didn't say a word, he deliberately lowered his head, his chin was on his chest, he pretended to be very innocent and hurt, trying to win his mother's magnanimity.

At this time, Hu Huilan suddenly stopped, thought silently for a while, and then changed her attitude abruptly, becoming as strict as his Chinese teacher.

"Beanie." Hu Huilan looked at Hu Doudou seriously.

"Huh?" Hu Doudou lowered his head and muttered quietly in his mouth.

"Doudou, you put your head up."

"Mom, I don't lift it, I'm afraid that as soon as I lift it up, you will hit me."

"No, mom won't hit you...... Uh, you idiot, if I try to hit you, it's the same if you don't look up. ”

"Okay, Mom, then I'll lift up."

Hu Doudou said this, and looked up cautiously, but his eyes still did not dare to look at his mother, and his head tilted to the side.

"Doudou, you look at me, I'm your mother, and I won't eat you."

Doudou cautiously turned his face again, glancing at his mother's face.

"Doudou, you look at me, look into my eyes."

Doudou looked cautiously into his mother's eyes again.

"Doudou, you have to be obedient."

"Huh?"

Hu Doudou was curious and thought: What am I listening to? Am I not obedient now?

"Doudou," Hu Huilan said again, as if emphatically, "you have to be obedient!" You know? ”

"Hmm."

At this time, Hu Huilan put her hand on Hu Doudou's shoulder, pushed and shook it as if she was pulling something, and said, "What are you 'uh-huh'?" ”

Her eyes were on Hu Doudou, "Can you really do it?" ”

"Yes, yes." Hu Doudou replied reluctantly, and at the same time, he felt that his mother was very baffled.

When his mother shook herself again with that force, and asked the same thing in her mouth, she couldn't help but be more curious.

Hu Doudou thought that he had done something wrong.

For example, when climbing a tree to catch it, he deliberately broke the branch of someone else's house.

For example, when you go home, you deliberately trample someone else's crop to death.

For example, if you are greedy, you climbed over the wall and stole apricots from someone's yard.

For example, when playing with those children, they curse and swear in their mouths.

For example, when he went out, he made his younger brother cry again.

......

Hu Doudou used his brain, quickly searched in his brain, and did not find a single wrong thing, so he nodded confidently and said, "I can, Mom, I can really do it." ”

Hu Doudou simply thought that his mother just wanted to be obedient and be a good child - listen to his mother, not crying, not making trouble, and not causing trouble.

At this moment, Hu Doudou saw his little brother, who was staggering out of the kiln, holding a wooden monkey in his hand, and walked to the wall of the chimney, and then, leaning over, looked at himself with a strange look, as if some secret was deliberately concealed.

At some point, his little brother had already put on his new clothes.

Hu Doudou knows that when wearing new clothes, he usually has to go to the market, or where to go to relatives.

"That, that's good," Hu Huilan said in an almost trembling voice, "I know that my Doudou baby is the most well-behaved." ”

As soon as Hu Huilan's voice fell, Hu Doudou could clearly see that his mother's eyes were moist.

Hu Doudou couldn't help but think: What happened to my mother? Could it be that I did something wrong to make her angry and cry again?

You know, Hu Doudou has always been very ambitious, and sometimes, even if his mother beat him with a stick thick at the wrist, he would not bow his head to her and admit his mistakes, or beg for mercy, until his mother beat him and was admitted to the hospital, at which time, his mother would always cry into tears.

And often at this time, Hu Doudou will feel that his mother is pitiful, so he puts down his self-esteem and bows his head to his mother to admit his mistakes.

"Mom, what's wrong with you? Did something happen? Hu Doudou looked at his mother's face seriously, because, he could see, his mother was really crying now.

"I'm going to leave you at your grandmother's house."

After Hu Huilan said this, her eyes were full of tears.

In fact, for this sentence, Hu Huilan did not close her eyes for several days and nights.

She was afraid that if she left her son at his grandmother's house, she would be disliked by others and look at the cold eyes of his uncle's family.

As for Hu Doudou, he is too naughty, and his temperament is still very stubborn, when others beat him, he doesn't fight back, and he doesn't think about how to dodge, what if he is beaten by his grumpy grandfather?
