Chapter 6 Neighbors
In the first half of 2003, not long after the end of the Chinese New Year, another neighbor of Huaibao's family began to have new residents, and it turned out that the grandmother who had been living in that villa building had been living in that building.
She has always lived alone, and I heard that this house was also bought by her son. is to let her enjoy her old age in peace.
The grandmother's wife seems to have died of a cerebral thrombosis a few years ago, so the son took the grandmother from the countryside to the city.
All along, the old grandmother has been alone, no, not long after the arrival of spring, a large pile of luggage was placed at the door of the No. 3 household, and standing next to the luggage was a little boy with a black schoolbag. I was about nine years old and was in the third grade of elementary school.
He wore a black hat, pretended to put his hands in his trouser pockets, and stood in the doorway in a cool manner, watching the movers move his last black box in, and then he followed in, and then stood in the small courtyard.
And the two babies who like to look strange and are about to be three years old have been kneeling on the wooden chair in the courtyard of Huaibao's house, and they have put their hands on the back of the chair, and put the little brain melon on their own little hands.
This little brother who just moved in is very good-looking, Nian Nian stares at him with round eyes, and the chair is next to the small toys they have dropped.
The new occupant of No. 3 seemed to spot the two little ones very quickly, and some unfamiliar eyes kept going back and forth between them.
He seemed to be thinking about a problem.
"Why are you two so fat and the other so thin?"
Hearing his brother talking to them, Nian Nian raised his head with a small ball, withdrew a small hand, and pointed at the little guy who was said to be fat.
"Giggle, you're fat."
Huaibao's little face suddenly turned pale, he patted his fleshy little face with both hands, stretched out his little hand and waved Niannian's hand, and hurriedly shook his head.
"I'm fat, and Ma Ma said to eat more."
He had a serious little appearance, and his big eyes seemed to be shining with starlight, which also successfully amused the little brother in room three.
"These two stupid babies."
This time, it was Nian Nian and Huai Bao's turn to be at a loss together, and they both looked at the white and clean little brother opposite with a curious look.
Seeing their stupid energy, the little brother took out two candies from his pocket and handed them to them.
Because the mother said that you should not eat what strangers give, the little baby was very obedient and did not take it immediately.
"Don't eat it."
After saying that, the little boy directly put the candy back, and by the way, he also tore one and put it in his mouth.
Then he dragged his little suitcase into the house.
As soon as Nian Nian saw her brother's candy, she actually began to secrete saliva in her mouth, and then she slowly climbed down from the chair, picked up the small bag she brought, crossed her two fleshy little feet, held the small bag with one little hand, and groped in it with the other little hand.
And Huaibao on the side consciously stretched out his little fat hand directly and put it in front of Nian Nian's eyes, he knew what Nian Nian was looking for in the bag.
After looking for a while, Nian Nian finally found the last two candies from the bag, first reluctantly looked at the candy with pink packaging, and then handed one of them to Huaibao.
"Crab crab."
Xiao Huaibao took Niannian's candy and didn't forget to say thank you to Niannian.
"You're welcome."
Therefore, upbringing is really important, and it should all start from a young age.
Later, when Huaibao grew up, he never said thank you to Nian Nian again, and Nian Nian asked him.
"Why didn't you say thank you?"
The young man blinked his big eyes with long thick eyelashes.
"My mom said the family didn't need to say thank you."
After thinking about it, it seemed that this was the truth, and she didn't ask any more, but how would she know that the meaning in a certain Huai's words was not what she thought.
"What a fool, but the family doesn't need to be smart, I'm smart enough."
From the day the No. 3 new resident moved in, Nian Nian and Huaibao could see the little brother coming home from school in the afternoon, and every time the little brother would stand in the garden and tease the two babies, and finally say that they were really two stupid babies.
Over time, in their impressions, the little brother next door is no longer a stranger, and lying on the back of the chair and waiting for the brother to come over to give candy is something they look forward to every day, because the brother's sugar is something they have never eaten, and it is full of unintelligible English characters, which is more delicious than their own sugar.
"Giggles, give you the second sugar."
The mother of the family naturally knew that the little brother of No. 3 would often give candy to his children, so later, they told the two silly babies that they could not only ask for their brother's candy, but also remember to give their brother their own candy.
So Nian Nian and Huai Bao both handed out their sugar.
Looking at these two little hands, the little brother who didn't like candy took it.
"Thank you."
Then learn to say thank you to them every day as she said to yourself after Huaibao got the candy.
Hearing his brother say thank you to himself, Nian Nian and Huai Bao were very happy, and the two babies looked at each other, and one hand covered their small mouths and snickered.
The next day, Nian Nian and Huai Bao knelt on the wooden chair as usual, waiting for their brother to exchange candy with him.
As soon as the little brother entered the door, when he saw the two babies, there was a smile in the corner of his eyes, and he would no longer wear the black hat, on the one hand, he was afraid of scaring the children.
"Well, I'll give you sugar."
Nian Nian and Huai Bao were very happy to take it, and then when they were about to take out their own candy from the small bag and hand it to their brother, the grandmother in the house called him.
"Ye Cheng, come in when you get home, Mom and Dad are here."
As soon as Xia Yecheng heard that his parents were coming, he didn't care about the candy given by Niannian and Huaibao, and immediately entered the house.
And the candy in the hands of the two babies also fell on the green lawn of the neighbor's house because of the little brother's sudden withdrawal.
The two people who couldn't pick up the candy had to sit back on the plastic lawn and start playing with their toys.
Later, they heard a noise next to them, and it turned out that it was my brother who came out again.
Putting down the toys in their hands, Nian Nian and Huaibao lay on the wooden chair again.
"If I don't let you go, I won't let you go."
Ye Cheng's little brother cried loudly, his small body pulled at his parents' clothes, and the two adults endured it, but they had no intention of staying.
"Good, Chengcheng, Mom and Dad have to go to work so that they can buy you what you like, don't you like to live with your grandmother? Waiting for us at grandma's house. ”
The mother turned around and squatted beside the child, touched his head, and watched her child shed tears, and she felt uncomfortable, but for the sake of the endless money, the two of them had to leave, originally this family lived in the city center, but because of business differences, the couple slowly lost their feelings, Xia Yecheng has rarely lived with his parents since he was a child, and now he simply divorces the child and lets the child live with his grandmother. is still deceiving the child verbally, but the children are very sensitive, and there is a problem with the relationship between the parents and the parents, how can Xia Yecheng, as a child, not feel it?
After the two adults left, Xia Yecheng has been standing in the same position, grandma called him for a long time, and it didn't work to make his favorite braised pork, the child was already so old, she didn't know how to persuade him, so she could only stand at the window and look at him worriedly, the baby grandson couldn't eat, and she couldn't eat herself.
And the scene just now, in addition to Nian Nian and Huaibao, Xuan Xuan, who came out to deliver cookies, also saw it, this situation is very common, and she doesn't dare to say what she and her child and his father will become in the future, but she will definitely accompany Huaibao.
"Giggles, sub-sugar, sub-cookies."
Seeing that the little brother was very sad, Nian Nian and Huai Bao had been handing him food in the yard next to him, of course Xia Yecheng would not pick it up, he didn't like to eat candy anymore, he was no longer a child, only those two people would always think that they liked to eat sugar when they were young, so they still like to eat sugar now.
"I don't eat sugar, are you two stupid?"
Listening to the two babies chattering beside him, he also vented his emotions very well, yelled and finished saying this, and then he ran in.
The babies who were frightened by the little brother first looked panicked, and finally cried out with a wow.
Huaibao is still relatively strong, although he was also scared, but he won't cry like Niannian, and he doesn't like to cry all the time. So when he saw Nian Nian crying, he just slowly moved his small body and walked over, then hugged Nian Nian's body, and gently patted Nian Nian's back like his mother comforted herself.
"Don't cry, don't cry."
Not to mention that this method is extremely useful, Nian Nian will soon stop crying.
From that day on, even if their brother scolded them, they would still wait for him to come back in the garden, as if they had forgotten the unpleasantness of that day.
On June 6, Nian Nian and Huaibao's third birthday arrived, this time the two families were still together, just a family of six to have a meal together, on the second birthday, it was Nian Nian's home, so the third birthday was at Huaibao's house.
So in the afternoon, Nian Nian and Huaibao didn't wait for their brother in the yard, and when Xia Yecheng came back, he didn't see these two children, and he was still lost for a while, and ran to the low railing to look at the neighbor's house a few times, and entered the house without seeing anything.
And it just so happened that Huaibao's father got off work early to celebrate his son's birthday, and when he passed by the wooden chair in the yard, he saw a few foreign candies that Xia Yecheng put on the chair, which he also saw in the hands of the child in charge there when he went to a foreign country to contact. I wanted to bring some back for my two children, but I was too busy and forgot about it.
However, I haven't forgotten the skin care products that my wife wanted.
Yi Qianjun took the candy in, and then put it on the table, the babies were in the toy room on the side of the living room, which was where Yi Qianjun placed the basketball shooter, as well as boxing game consoles and board games, and there was a monitor on the very side, and there was a stack of game disks next to it.
These are all things he played with when he was a child, and these things were very expensive at that time, maybe he can still play when Huaibao grows up in the future.
After playing with them for a while, the mothers made the meal, and the four adults sat around the dining table, although Nian Nian and Huaibao were eating white rice in their mouths, their eyes kept staring at the birthday cake brought by Shang Wenxuan on the coffee table.
Before he could take a few bites of food, Nian Nian had already climbed down the small stool for children, ran to the side of the cake, and by the way, he saw the candy that the little brother would give.
"Mama, the candy that clucked."
Nian Nian pointed to the candy on the table, closed his mouth one by one, and picked up one of the candies with his little hand, which had been quickly put into his mouth.
"Sugar, I want sugar."
Seeing that Nian Nian had eaten the candy, Huai Bao couldn't sit still, he didn't even eat his usual favorite sweet and sour balls, and ran to the side of the coffee table with his fart, picked up another candy and stuffed it into his mouth to eat.
"Is that the little boy from Villa Three?"
Shang Wenxuan sandwiched a pork rib and put it in a bowl and said.
"Yes, that kid is also quite pitiful, Mom and Dad left him directly at Grandma's house, and he didn't come to see him for a year and a half, but he took a look a few days ago and left in a hurry."
After dinner, Nian Nian and Huai Bao couldn't wait to eat the cake.
Xuan Xuan also picked up the knife to cut the cake and cut a few pieces of the cake, one for Nian Nian and one for Huaibao, and then she took out another plate and cut a piece and put it inside.
"Babies, my brother gives you candy every day, and you have to go and give your brother cakes."
"Roar, giggle cake."
It didn't take long for the baby's mouth to be covered with white cream, and his mouth was bulging with a cake.
Then Xuan Xuan and Wang Li took their two babies to Villa No. 3.
It was grandma who came to open the door.
She recognized at a glance that these were the two neighbors next to her, after all, they had moved here for so long, and they would still say hello when they met them occasionally on the road.
"Auntie, excuse me, two children have birthdays today, come and send a cake to you and your grandchildren."
Grandma hadn't seen the guests who came to her door for a long time, and at first she refused their cakes, but she warmly invited them all in, served them tea, and gave the baby a few candies, which was the same candy given by Xia Yecheng.
The two mothers sat in the living room chatting with the grandmother, while Nian Nian and Huaibao slowly went up the stairs step by step with the cake for their brother.
"Giggles, cake."
I don't know which little brother's room is, I shouted my brother's name as soon as I got to the second floor, there was no light in the corridor, the two babies were a little scared, and the two small bodies were next to each other.
But it didn't take long for the door of the first room on the right hand side to open, and a head poked out of the doorway.
"Giggles?"
Nian Nian called out with some uncertainty.
Xia Yecheng was also surprised that they would come up, and glanced at the cake in their hands that was about to fall crookedly on the ground, he opened the door completely, and then turned on the light in the hallway.
"Come here."
Xia Yecheng's room was full of some game posters and some superman, toy posters of the able, these were all bought by his parents according to his requirements, what he really wanted, they didn't know at all.
