Year 2004

In the scorching heat, the hot sun scorches every creature on the earth, except for the sunflower, everything else seems wilted

At the hottest time of the sun, that is, at two o'clock in the afternoon, a man of about thirty years old came to the door of the home community with a three-year-old girl, the man was wearing brown short sleeves, black trousers, and a duffel bag was hanging on the top and bottom of his body, and the little girl was wearing a white short-sleeved and denim suspender pants, and only a small rabbit crossbody bag was carried on her body, and she held a popsicle in her hand, but the speed of her licking popsicles was definitely not as fast as the speed of melting. She could only hunch over and try not to drip on her clothes

The little girl looked at the popsicle and said aggrievedly, "Dad, the popsicle is melting again"

The man touched her head dotingly, and sighed: "Next time, I'll buy you ice cream, your little teeth are not good, and you eat popsicles all by licking"

That little girl is Tian Ziyi, and the man is Tian Ziyi's father, Tian Gaolin

The two walked slowly to the door of the home community, and the man pointed to a few words on the door plaque and said to his daughter: "Little one, do you recognize the words on it?"

Tian Ziyi pointed to it with his little finger and began to read word by word: "Home, garden, small, I don't know each other"

Tian Gaolin taught in a gentle tone: "That word, read the qu district, the home community, it will be our home in the future, remember."

Tian Ziyi repeated in a low voice: "Homeland community, homeland community·····"

Before he reached the gate, Uncle Chen in the security room watched from a distance as the new resident was carrying a large bag of luggage, and hurriedly called the young Xiao Li to help

Uncle Chen and Xiao Li helped Tian Gaolin unload his heavy luggage and walked towards the community together

Tian Gaolin immediately joined his hands and thanked him: "Thank you so much for this uncle and young man, you said that I am really difficult to get this person."

Uncle Chen waved his hand enthusiastically: "What's polite, we will all be neighbors in the future"

Xiao Li also smiled: "It's nothing, if there is any help in the future, just squeak."

Tian Gaolin sighed with relief: "Oh, the atmosphere of our home community is good, it's really like a family."

Uncle Chen looked at the little girl beside Tian Gaolin and asked with a smile, "Little girl, what's your name?"

Tian Ziyi grinned and replied: "Hello grandpa, my name is Tian Ziyi"

Uncle Chen stroked Tian Ziyi's head and blossomed: "Oh, the little girl is so sensible", and said to Tian Gaolin: "In our yard, there are a lot of little dolls, they all play together, most of their parents have to go to work during the day, I will close the gate with Xiao Li, and let them play in the yard, which is trouble-free and safe."

Tian Gaolin joked: "It's like closing a group of piglets"

Hearing this, the three adults all laughed from ear to ear

Only Tian Ziyi stared at them seriously, pouted and asked, "Dad, are you scolding me for being a pig?" ”

Tian Gaolin pinched his daughter's little fleshy face: "Aren't you a little pig yet?" Look at the fat face you eat."

Tian Ziyi pouted unhappily, crossed his arms with his hands and huffed, and walked forward alone

Tian Gaolin hung his hand helplessly: "This kid..."

It's just that she hadn't walked a few steps before she was hit in the face by a sudden punching bag

Tian Ziyi shouted softly, so frightened that Tian's father hurriedly ran over to check the situation, and asked vigorously: "How is it, did it hurt?"

Tian Ziyi shook his head, squatted down to pick up the sandbag that fell on the ground, and looked at it carefully

Tian's father looked at the sandbag in his daughter's hand and breathed a sigh of relief, the sandbag is quite large, the stitches on it are very thick, at first glance, it is sewn by the family itself, fortunately it is filled with wheat bran, if it is loaded with corn kernels or sand or something, it has to be a problem

Before a few people could come to their senses, a little boy ran from the front, wearing a yellow T-shirt and big black pants, he looked older than Tian Ziyi, but the volume could be twice that of Tian Ziyi, he was barefoot, and stretched out his hand to Tian Ziyi with a cold face: "That's my sandbag"

Tian Ziyi was stunned for a while and handed him the sandbag

Originally, the little boy wanted to take it and run, but was grabbed by Uncle Chen: "Wang Tuo, you just threw a sandbag and hit this sister, you have to apologize to her"

Wang Tuo is a very strong child at a young age, he struggled to get out of Uncle Chen's hands, and would rather die than apologize, shouting: "I don't say, I don't say"

Tian Gaolin saw that this child was really stubborn, and it didn't hurt if he was a child anyway, so he said good things to Uncle Chen: "Uncle Chen is fine, they are all children, don't worry, and they don't hurt Xiaoyi."

Tian Ziyi also turned around and said to Wang Tuo: "It's okay, I don't blame you."

Uncle Chen was willing to let go of Wang Tuo's arm, and as soon as his hand was released, Wang Tuo ran away without a trace

However, Wang Tuo's quick departure was not because of the adults, but because when he looked at the girl for the first time, the tone and eyes of her voice always reminded her of the appearance of the tigress in her family before she was about to beat her

After a small turmoil, Tian Gaolin took his daughter to the room on the third floor, opened the door, and it was a small two-room room, a large room outside and a small room inside

It is estimated that no one has lived there for a long time, and when the door is opened, it is dusty and things are piled up in a mess

There was really no place to stay inside, so Tian Gaolin could only let his daughter stand outside the door, and he picked up a broom and went in to clean first

Tian Zi was bored lying on the railing, his head through the hole in the railing and looking down

Tian Gaolin looked at his daughter from the inside and said loudly: "Little One, don't go too out, be careful"

Tian Ziyi's grandmother's voice replied: "Okay"

She poked her head down to see a group of children playing games in the shadow of several large trees

Two or three boys were throwing sandbags and attacking each other, including Wang Tuo, who had just smashed him, and a few girls who looked bigger than themselves jumped on the tense rubber bands of the two trees, and said loudly: "Little leather ball, round and round, Auntie took me to the park ······"

She glanced around, and there was a girl who looked as big as herself beside the pile of sand, and she was alone in the sand

Tian Ziyi suddenly had a whim, pulled his head out of the hole, and shouted into the room: "Dad, I want to go down and play"

Tian Gaolin replied loudly: "Pay attention to safety"

Tian Zi snorted, and immediately hurriedly ran downstairs

She skipped past the many children and rushed straight to the pile of sand

Running to her, she didn't bother first, but quietly looked at the castle in front of her, which was about to be piled up

A few minutes later, just as the girl was about to take her final steps, the castle collapsed

The little girl sighed in disappointment, and when she came back to her senses, she realized that there was another child standing in front of her at some point

She blinked and asked, "Who are you, how come I have never seen you"

Tian Zi replied: "I'm new to live here"

"And what's your name?"

"My name is Tian Ziyi, what's your name?"

"My name is Wei Kemeng"

Tian Ziyi scratched the back of her head, because in the dictionary she had learned, she really couldn't think of what the three words "Wei Kemeng" were

Wei Kemeng continued to ask, "Can you write your name?" As he spoke, he handed Tian Ziyi a small branch

Tian Ziyi took the branch and began to write his name on the sand with some hesitation

But after she finished writing, she only wrote two words, Tian Heyi

Tian Ziyi shyly picked his hands and smirked: "I can only write these two words"

Wei Kemeng snatched the branch and wrote a son's son on the ground, and asked, "Is this it?" ”

Tian Ziyi shook his head, as if he didn't look like it

Wei Kemeng then wrote his name on the sand, and every stroke was very complete, and he wrote his name one by one: Wei Kemeng

Tian Ziyi opened his mouth wide in amazement: "Why do you want to call such a difficult word?" ”

Wei Kemeng said proudly: "My mother taught me to write every day, and I was the first person in the community to write my name."
