Hu Huilan planned to take her family to Xinjiang thousands of kilometers away to plant cotton this time, but Hu Doudou was the only one left, and she thought about it, and finally decided to foster him at his grandmother's house.

Originally, Hu Huilan planned to foster Hu Doudou's younger brother to his grandmother's house and take Hu Doudou away, because his younger brother is only two years old now and is still too young, and leaving it at his grandmother's house is undoubtedly causing trouble for them.

She thought about taking the two children away, but she didn't know how to set off for Xinjiang in a hurry, and when she got there, she could find a foothold smoothly, and whether she could settle the adults first.

At that time, Hu Huilan heard that there were swaggers and deception in Xinjiang.

In the end, after thinking about it, Hu Huilan decided to put Hu Doudou at his grandmother's house.

Hu Doudou is seven years old this year.

He's already sensible.

He is not like ordinary children of the same age, when he encounters this situation, the first thing he thinks of is - crying, lying on the ground, crying and making trouble, and the adult has to tie it up with a rope to stop.

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

After Hu Huilan said this, Hu Doudou immediately couldn't make up her mind.

On the one hand, he was very curious about his grandmother's house.

Growing up, in Hu Doudou's memory, he only remembered going there once, and that was on his fifth birthday.

On that day, a thin, short, wrinkled-faced old woman took him into her arms in surprise as soon as she saw him, stroked his hair with her rough hands, kept complimenting him on his big eyes and good looks, and finally gave him the boiled eggs as a birthday present.

That day, a smart-looking little girl with two ponytails on the back of her head gave him half of the popcorn in her pocket.

In Hu Doudou's memory, his grandmother was very friendly, and in particular, he loved to listen to her.

On the other hand, Hu Doudou is reluctant to let go of his little playmates in his hometown, especially the little boy named Maomao, whose friendship has just begun.

"Mom," Hu Doudou said a little confused, "do you mean that you are going to send me to my grandmother's house?" ”

"That's right," Hu Doudou's mother knocked her voice and asked tentatively, "Doudou, tell your mother if you want to go to your grandmother's house?" ”

"My grandmother's house? Where? Have I been? Hu Doudou made a gesture because he wanted to slow down his thoughts, and his mind was a little messed up now.

"Hey, you baby, of course you've been! Have you forgotten? You were young then...... Well, you may have forgotten. ”

"So, Mom, are we all going as a family?"

"Of course not, what are we doing as a family? There are so many people, how can your uncle's family have so much food for us to eat? ”

Hu Doudou began to be silent.

"I mean, you stay alone at your grandmother's house, go to school at your grandmother's house, stay for a long time......"

"What about you? And, what about my dad? What about my brother? What about them? Hu Doudou was a little emotional.

Hu Doudou said in one breath, calmed down a little, and then asked with a relaxed attitude:

"Is it because my grandmother's house only welcomes me? Or something else...... Why should I stay at my grandmother's house for so long? Don't you want me? ”

Hu Doudou questioned his mother so much that tears flowed uncontrollably in his eyes for a while.

At this time, his mother went back to the kiln. I didn't even hear what he was saying.

Finally, Hu Doudou knew what was going on, and as soon as he saw the new clothes his brother was wearing, he suddenly felt very uncomfortable, and immediately, tears gushed out.

......

In the kiln.

Hu Doudou's father packed the last baggage, and before he had time to sit down and take a cigarette, as if he was in a hurry to catch the train, he said to Hu Doudou's mother:

"the baby, I've basically packed up everything, you check it again to see if there's anything left."

"I basically don't have anything to clean up," Hu Huilan said, "Oh, by the way, did you take out Doudou's clothes separately?" ”

"I took it out, short-sleeved shirts in summer, sweaters and padded jackets in winter, I put them all in bags."

"So be it."

Hu Huilan hurriedly went to the kiln to inspect for a while, and then hurriedly walked up to Hu Doudou, "Ah! Why are you crying, baby? ”

Hu Doudou didn't say a word, and now he is crying so much that he is raining.

"Oops! All right! Don't cry! Hu Huilan comforted, "Mom just wants to go out to work to earn more money and buy delicious food for you and your brother...... I'll be back soon. ”

Finally, Hu Doudou stopped crying, he rubbed his eyes with his sleeve, and then, begging, said to his mother, "Mom, then I will wait for you at our house." ”

"You're waiting for me at home?" Hu Huilan felt ridiculous for a while, and thought: This Doudou is still a stupid child now.

"Why are you waiting for me at home alone?" Hu Huilan couldn't help but ask, "It's dark in the kiln at night, and you can't see anything, and besides, you're already afraid of the dark at night, aren't you afraid of being scared by someone in the middle of the night?" ”

"Mom, I-I'm ......" Hu Doudou was a little speechless.

"Besides," Hu Huilan continued to ask rhetorically, "You are alone at home, who will cook for you?" What do you eat? Haven't you thought about this? ”

Hu Doudou thought for a while, and then, whimsically, said to his mother, "Mom, I can eat steamed buns, eat steamed buns every day...... I don't know how to make noodles, before you leave, just steam a few pots of steamed buns for me and put them away, and I will eat them when I'm hungry.

...... Mom, I promise to be obedient, I'll be at our house, waiting for you to come back with your brother and father. ”

As soon as Hu Huilan heard Hu Doudou say that, she suddenly felt that her nose was sour, and she felt very uncomfortable.

"Then have you ever thought about it," Hu Huilan forced back her tears and asked with a smile, "The steamed buns are steamed too much, where do you put them?" What should I do if it gets moldy? It's not that you don't know that on a hot day now, if you steam a pot of steamed buns, you can't put them for even three days, and it will become spoiled and moldy! ”

"So, when are you coming back?" Hu Doudou scratched his nose with his hand and muttered, "I, I really don't want to leave you, Mom." ”

"It's going to be soon, Doudou, you have to be obedient, listen to your mother, you go to your grandmother's house, at your grandmother's house, someone will cook for you, and there is a place to sleep at night, and your grandmother's house also has a sister and a younger brother of yours, they all like you very much, and they will play with you."

"But, but, I still can't bear to leave you!"

"You have to be obedient, Doudou, you are seven years old, you know, my mother really doesn't have a penny on her now, our family is poor, I don't earn any money, and I can't even pay your tuition...... You've grown up, you have to understand Mom! ”

Hu Doudou knew that his family's economic conditions were very bad, and when he heard that his mother went out to work to earn money for his schooling, he stopped crying and understood his mother's helplessness.

"Mom, I understand you, I know, I listen to you, I will wait for you to come back at my grandmother's house." Hu Doudou said with the rest of his crying.

Hu Huilan didn't say anything more, so she took Hu Doudou into her arms and didn't let go of her hand for a long time.

At this time, the sun burned the earth like a fireball, and the intellectuals whined incessantly.

In a hurry, they had already packed their bags, and they didn't even bother to eat lunch, so they had to catch the long-distance train to Xinjiang, the only one.

For Hu Doudou's family, all this came too suddenly, and they didn't have a chance to prepare at all.

In this way, by the way, they were going to take Hu Doudou to his grandmother's house.
