In this way, the little old man lived in Shen's house, and only when he was in a good mood would he comment on Shen Changzhi's paintings, but every time he criticized Shen Changzhi's paintings as useless, but Shen Changzhi was tired of it, as if he had discovered a new continent.

The little old man was a lonely, and after living in the Shen family for a few days, he found that in addition to a tofu workshop, the Shen family also had a few little chickens, and after playing with a few little chicks, under Shen Tuantuan's black face, the little old man could only focus on the outside.

From then on, the little old man was even more out of control and ran out. Every day until dusk, I don't go home. Sometimes, Shen Tuantuan had to go out to look for it, and after Shen Tuantuan had been trained several times with a black face, the little old man reluctantly responded, and listened to Shen Tuantuan's words, and when the smoke was curling in the village, it was time to go home.

On this day, it has entered summer.

Aunt Wang cooked the meal early, and waited left and right without waiting for anyone to come back.

Aunt Wang couldn't sit still, "Could it be that something is wrong?" ”

"Probably not, right?" After living together for a month or two, the Shen family has become accustomed to having an old man bouncing around in the yard, and now that there is one less person, they feel that there is a lot less fireworks. "The old man has been very obedient lately, and I told him to go home when he saw the smoke rising in the village, and he came back every day."

Because now that it is summer, Shen Tuantuan ordered the little old man to take a nap at home every day, and only when the day is smaller will he be allowed to go out to play.

What Cheng thought, the sun is about to go down today, and no one has come back yet.

Shen Changzhi is the most awkward, although he is always harsh about the little old man on weekdays, but he also knows that he has benefited a lot. It's just that he has a hard mouth and can't say those soft words, and he didn't wait for people to come back at this time, and Shen Changzhi couldn't sit still, "Let's go, let's go out and look for it, auntie, you are at home, in case the old man comes back, you can watch it, don't let him walk around." ”

Aunt Wang responded, "You should also go early and come back early, I have heard the old man always say recently, the weather is hot, the river is cool, you go to the river to see, I don't know if you have gone to play in the water." ”

Shen Tuantuan and the three of them went to the river, but from the top to the bottom, they never saw anyone.

"Old man Xiao, where are you—" Shen Changzhi shouted loudly, but no one responded.

After a long time, the children of Taohuazhuang heard Shen Changzhi's shout, and walked towards Shen Tuantuan's side, "Sister Tuantuan, have I seen Old Man Xiao-"

Shen Tuantuan hurriedly asked, "Where is it?" ”

"We were all playing by the river, and the old man Xiao said that Sister Tuan Tuan was not allowed to go down to the river to play in the water, so she kept sitting by the river and soaking her feet and playing in the water by herself. Later, when the kid from Wangjiawan was playing in the water, his foot cramped, and the old man Xiao saw that the situation was not right, so he immediately waded into the water to save people, and the people were rescued, and he didn't drink a few sips of water, but the kid was frightened, please don't say it, otherwise, he will be beaten when he goes back......"

Shen Changzhi frowned and stared at this kid and said a lot, but he didn't get to the point, he was a little anxious, "Then what about later, where did Old Man Xiao go!" ”

The boy shook his head, "After this happened, we didn't dare to play by the river, so we all scattered and went home one by one." ”

Shen Tuantuan touched the kid's head and thanked the kid. "Brother, let's go to the river to look for it, otherwise, when it's dark, we won't be able to see it."

Shen Changzhi had a gloomy face and strode forward.

Shen Tuantuan followed behind Shen Changzhi and shouted loudly, "Uncle Xiao, go home for dinner-"

The two of them swept around several times, but they didn't find anyone. Shen Tuantuan didn't even dare to wonder if there was an accident.

Shen Changzhi turned around irritably, as if there was a corner of the dwarf wood, the corner of the sky blue clothes. Shen Changzhi strode towards the bushes and scolded loudly: "Come out!" ”

In the bushes, a whisper came, "Can't see me, can't see me—"

Shen Tuantuan trotted over, and when he heard the familiar voice in the bushes, he was also relieved. "Uncle Xiao, why are you hiding here, it's easy to find our department, we're about to go crazy, and we thought you had an accident."

"Come out!" Shen Changzhi only felt that his head was sudden, and he raised his voice and scolded.

The little old man moved, and the bushes also moved, "Why are you so fierce, come out when you come out." ”

Then the little old man stood up from the bushes, and his white old face was scraped several times, and he didn't have to think about it, but he knew that it was scraped by a small branch in the bushes, and his clothes were wet and dirty, and even his clothes were torn.

Shen Changzhi looked at the unlucky appearance of the little old man, and he couldn't get angry. "Look at you!" After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

The little old man pouted aggrievedly, looking at Shen Changzhi's distant back, a little dazed.

Shen Tuantuan sighed and stretched out his hand to the little old man, "So far away, how did you get in?" ”

As soon as the little old man heard Shen Tuantuan praise him, his original grievances were swept away, "Tuan Tuan, I'm amazing!" I tell you, when I hear your voice, I am in a hurry, and I drill into here, and I get in! ”

"It's amazing, look at your face, your clothes, it's not as good." Shen Tuantuan slowed down his tone helplessly, and stretched out his hand to help the little old man out.

When the little old man looked at his sky-blue clothes, he wanted to cry again. "This is my favorite garment, and I have been asking for it for a long time from Changzhi. He won't want to give it to me in the future—"

Because Shen Changzhi is still growing his body, the clothes that Aunt Wang made for him are only a few changes and washes, and Aunt Wang is not undressed for the little old man, but the dusty little old man doesn't like it at all, and prefers to go to Shen Changzhi's house to turn over clothes and wear them.

Later, it was Shen Tuantuan who said that there was no need to bother to make clothes for the little old man, as long as he made clothes for Shen Changzhi, the little old man would go to the house to find them. Therefore, Aunt Wang was not ambiguous, and she also stuffed the gray-brown clothes into Shen Changzhi's box, and sure enough, one day she was touched by the little old man to wear them.

The clothes on the little old man's body are the clothes that Shen Changzhi wears when he goes out on weekdays, so the little old man asked for it for a long time, but Shen Changzhi was stunned and didn't agree, and then he still couldn't grind the little old man, so he couldn't let go, this is the second time he wears it, and it is already broken.

"It's broken several times—" The little old man shook his wet clothes, and his tears were about to disobey him again.

Now that there is an old man in the family, Shen Tuantuan feels as if he has a child at home, and he often has to be coaxed. Old children, old children, are really like children.

Shen Tuantuan still couldn't see such an age and still cry, and said softly, "Go back and let Aunt Wang help make up for it, maybe you can make it up." ”

"Really?" The little old man still had tears in his eyes, and looked up at Shen Tuantuan. "It's still not good, Aunt Wang has to nag again, and she can't finish reading. Will you make up for Tuan Tuan? Can you make it up for me? ”

Can you still talk well! Shen Tuantuan glared at the old man, "I won't!" "It's really a pot that can't be opened.

The little old man was stunned by the yelling, "Tuan Tuan, you yelled at me!" You can't be a female celebrity, you still yell at me! ”

"That's not what I meant."

"Then you can make it up for me!"

Shen Tuantuan gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, as long as you don't mind!" ”

The little old man got what he wanted, and then he rejoiced again, "Let's go home, let's go home and mend our clothes!" ”

Shen Tuantuan walked beside the little old man, "Turn back, when you get home, if my brother trains you, you will listen obediently." My brother is hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, he just looked for you, he was about to go crazy, he kept staring at the river, and thought you had an accident. ”

The little old man responded, "I'm a lot older, so naturally I won't bother with the yellow-haired boy, if he wants to train me, train me." When I went back and waited for him to paint, I would find the field again. A gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late! ”

Shen Tuantuan shook his head with a smile, "Yes, that's it, a good man doesn't suffer a loss in front of him." You can remember, but you must not talk back. Otherwise, if my brother takes you to the city tomorrow, I don't know. ”

As soon as he heard that he was going to take him to the city, the little old man shook his body in fear, "I must keep my mouth shut." ”

At the beginning, Shen Changzhi wanted to take the little old man back to the city, but the little old man refused to go back. Therefore, even if the little old man is playful now, he will never leave the village.

After explaining a circle, the two of them had already arrived at the door.

Shen Zhong was about to go out when he saw Shen Tuantuan and the two of them coming back, "Come in, I'm talking about going to find you." Are you all right? ”

The little old man closed his mouth tightly and didn't speak, Shen Tuantuan couldn't, so she had to speak. "It's okay, it's just scared and hiding."

Aunt Wang took the little old man back to the house to change his clothes before leading people to eat together.

At the dinner table, because Shen Changzhi had been gloomy and did not speak, the atmosphere was deadlocked, and no one dared to speak.

As soon as Shen Changzhi put down his chopsticks and left, Aunt Wang couldn't bear the nagging at first, "Uncle Xiao, don't hide in the future, if you have something, go home quickly, but you will be scared to death." ”

Shen Zhong was also taken aback, and when he heard Shen Changzhi come back and tell him what happened, he could only sigh, he was old, and he just couldn't turn a corner. "You can't go to the river in the future, although it's a good thing to save people, but you're a lot older, so you should go to the river less. Our river is still quite urgent, and if one of us doesn't stand firm, maybe it will be washed away. Every year, there are always small ones that go like this. ”

Because the small river on the edge of Taohuazhuang is connected to the canal by the wharf.

The little old man was nagging and holding the bowl and nodding his head all the time.
