Xiao Shuangning finished his back, held his head high, and looked like he was showing off, "Brother, do you hear clearly?" Is there a typo? ”

"I knew that Ning Ning was the best, so now do you know what Huang Li is?" Xiao Youchen did not forget to praise Xiao Shuangning.

"Oriole? Oriole? Two orioles singing green willows? Yes? Brother, why do you scold me for being a bird? I'm human, so don't be the chirping bird, like the sparrow at the door of our house, which annoys people to death. ”

Xiao Shuangning muttered, as if she was not happy that Xiao Youchen compared her to Huang Li.

When Xiao Youchen heard this, he covered his mouth and laughed.

"Condensation! Looks like I'll have to give you some tutoring when I go back later. I'm not comparing you to a bird, but a oriole has a good voice, and I use this as a comparison to say that your voice is beautiful. It's a very simple metaphor, and it's not a bad word. ”

"Oh!" Xiao Shuangning nodded awkwardly, and at this time she realized that the teacher seemed to have explained.

This little Shuangning is actually not stupid, and the Son of Heaven is not bad. It's just that, compared to Xiao Youchen, she is a little playful, and her self-indulgence is not so strong, if it weren't for Xiao Youchen to accompany her to supervise the left and right, she might have to waste her smart head.

"Okay, Ning Ning, don't be unhappy, if you don't understand in the future, just come and ask my brother, my brother is still looking forward to you catching up, let's study the same level, and we will be admitted to the county key middle school as soon as possible."

"Hmm!"

"Okay, you play first, wait for me to fill up the water, catch some shrimp and crab water snails for you, and let my mother fry them for you at night."

"Okay! Great! Xiao Shuangning clapped his hands and applauded, "Brother, are you tired?" Why don't I add the rest of the water? Xiao Shuangning said, walked to Xiao Youchen's side, and prepared to hide from the scoop in his hand.

"No, this tiring and menial work is done by boys, how can my brother let you do it! Play it. ”

"But why—mom does everything, isn't she a girl too? Why didn't there be a boy to help her? Xiao Shuangning muttered and hung his head unhappily.

"Because Daddy isn't here! If Dad was here, he wouldn't let Mom do so much heavy work, so we had to study harder, and when we had money in the future, Mom wouldn't have to do all the heavy work. Of course, if we are admitted to the key middle school in the county soon, my father will come back, so my mother will not have to do heavy work. ”

The logic that Xiao Youchen said, although it seems a bit far-fetched on the surface, is what he said in his heart. He took Shumei's words to heart, and he thought that if he could be admitted to the county's middle school earlier, then his father would be able to come back sooner.

Xiao Shuangning nodded vigorously, squatted down to the river and slapped the river with his hand.

Xiao Youchen continued to add water from the river to the fields one by one.

I don't know who gave him the consciousness of being an extraordinary person, he actually thought of skipping a grade to get into the county middle school faster, so that he could see his father earlier, and in order to save some tuition for the family.

But he didn't want to distance himself from Xiao Shuangning, so he forced Xiao Shuangning to study hard with him, found a higher level of books from the scrap yard, and began to study by himself, and asked the teacher if he didn't understand anything.

The sun was setting, and Xiao Youchen finally filled up the seedlings and water, as promised to Xiao Shuangning before. He rolled up his trouser legs and went down to the river, catching shrimp, crabs and water snails for Xiao Shuangning in the grass and at the bottom of the river.

He found the big and red shrimp from the mud hole, and after a while, he filled a big bag.

Xiao Shuang stared at this rich result, with a happy smile on his face, and smiled and picked up the things that Xiao Youchen touched out of the river one by one into his pocket.

"Ningning, be careful, don't get caught."

"Brother, why are you as verbose as your mother, it's not the first time I've touched these things, how can they hurt me so easily!"

Xiao Shuangning grabbed a red and big shrimp, pinched the shrimp's back tightly, held it high in the air, and said with a smile on his head. The shrimp struggled in her hands, and the two big red shrimp clips danced desperately.

She was so proud that she didn't pay attention when she put the shrimp into the bag, and the shrimp in the bag took the opportunity to clamp her fingers.

She screamed in pain and threw the bag she was carrying in her other hand.

Xiao Youchen, who had just buried his head, heard Xiao Shuangning's voice, raised his head in shock, and saw that Xiao Shuangning was clamped, and he quickly got up from the river.

"Ning Ning, are you alright?"

"Brother, it hurts, it hurts."

The shrimp clip is very tight, and the harder she pulls, the more painful her fingers become, and the fingers have been punctured by the thorns on the shrimp clips.

Xiao Youchen stumbled to her, grabbed her fingers, and quickly controlled the shrimp, in order to prevent the shrimp clip from hurting Xiao Shuangning, he broke the shrimp clip with force, and successfully took the shrimp clip off Xiao Shuangning's finger.

The shrimp clip was taken down, and a few blood beads instantly appeared on Xiao Shuangning's fingers.

Xiao Youchen felt heartbroken when he saw it, and wiped the blood on Xiao Shuangning's fingers with the back of his clothes.

"Look! I just said you to be careful, and in the blink of an eye, it will be like this, does it hurt? ”

"Brother, you're a crow's mouth, why didn't you get caught before, it's your fault." Xiao Shuangning pouted angrily, complaining that it was because Xiao Youchen said that she would be caught in the trap.

"Okay, okay, blame me! Let's go, let's go home, don't catch it, there's enough for you to eat. ”

Xiao Youchen dotes on Xiao Shuangning very much, no matter how unreasonable she is or how unreasonable she is, he always follows her. It is precisely because of Xiao Youchen's favor that Xiao Shuangning, who was timid and submissive before, has become lively and cheerful.

Xiao Youchen scratched Xiao Shuangning's little nose and took all the fault on himself, Xiao Shuangning stopped muttering, and instantly smiled.

Xiao Youchen also smiled, the laughter of the two children was so innocent.

"Ah...... Shrimp, crabs, ran, all ran. ”

Xiao Shuangning reacted at this time, and the shrimp and crabs that Xiao Youchen had worked so hard to catch were thrown to the ground by her, and all of them quickly crawled back into the water.

She hurriedly leaned down, trying to stop the shrimp and crab from escaping.

"Ningning, forget it, don't chase it, you still have injuries on your hands! Another day, another day, we'll catch it another day. ”

"But—"

Xiao Shuangning watched helplessly as the last shrimp jumped into the river with a plop, pouting and nodding.

The two picked up the schoolbags thrown on the riverbank and walked hand in hand in the direction of home, talking and laughing. Xiao Shuangning was not unhappy every time there was a lobster to eat, and smiled so happily.

Under the illumination of the setting sun, this scene is particularly beautiful.

Zhang Xiaoqin waited at home for an afternoon, and went home again and again to find Wu Ju, but in vain, and never saw Wu Ju's shadow. It wasn't until it got dark that she heard the sound of pots and pans coming from the house next door, and the courtyard was lit up with a faint light, and she hurriedly took the child home to find Wu Ju.

As soon as she entered the door, she dragged Wu Ju, who was busy in the kitchen, into the house.

"Why? I haven't washed this rice yet? Where are you pulling me to? Wu Ju muttered and complained dissatisfiedly.

"Auntie, be quiet, I have something to say to you."

Zhang Xiaoqin quickly pulled Wu Ju into the house and closed the door.

Wu Ju looked at her mysterious appearance and asked suspiciously, "What is the matter?" Look at your mystery, there is no one in this family who can understand human speech except me, is it necessary for you to do this? ”

Wu Ju wiped the water on the apron repeatedly. Strands sat down on a stool in the room.

Zhang Xiaoqin lowered her voice and said, "A-Niang, you can help me get out early tomorrow morning and find an excuse to take me to town." ”

"What? Let me help you get out? You don't have a fever, do you? Your legs are long on yourself, you can go if you want, and it's not that you don't know the way, so you have to let me take you there. ”

When Wu Ju heard this, she felt that Zhang Xiaoqin was inexplicable, and responded to Zhang Xiaoqin with sharp words.

"Auntie, anyway, whether you pretend to be sick or find some other way, you just want to take me away from them in front of the old couple, and they take care of the children at home."

"Xiaoqin! What the hell is wrong with you? How can I say that A-Niang is confused. ”

"Auntie, don't ask, remember, you will pretend to be sick early tomorrow morning, the more serious the better, let me take you to town." Remember, I'll go back first. ”

Wu Ju was still confused, but Zhang Xiaoqin was already in a hurry to open the door and go out, the pace of departure was very fast, and Wu Ju didn't have time to ask again.

The night, which was as calm as ever, was silently swallowed up by the day, and soon, the morning star lit up in the east.

Zhang Xiaoqin got up earlier than usual, and after simply cleaning up, she began to wait anxiously for Wu Ju to arrive.

The child seemed to have realized something, he was very well-behaved today, not noisy or noisy, just sitting there and looking at Zhang Xiaoqin, looking so distracted.

Zhang Xiaoqin squatted down, looking at the child's pitiful eyes, her heart trembled slightly, and a trace of unbearability flashed in her heart.

She gently stroked the child's face, trying to remember the child's familiar face.

"Mom's ......"

The child grabbed Zhang Xiaoqin's hand tightly with his little hand, opened his bright red mouth, and squeezed out two vague words from between his lips.

The pronunciation is really non-standard, but Zhang Xiaoqin can still hear it, it is the long-lost word "mother".

Yes, she hadn't heard these two words for a long time, she was a little confused, it seemed that at this time she realized that she was a mother, and the child in front of her was the child she gave birth to in October.

The previous two sons were taken away by Jiang Fu, and she never saw them again, so the word "mother" was both familiar and unfamiliar to her.

"Jiao Rong ......"

Her expression was a little heavy, as if she was about to say something, but at this time, Wu Ju came as promised, interrupting what she wanted to say next.

Wu Ju looked in pain, stumbling into the Fu family's courtyard with the wall, holding the wall with one hand and covering her stomach with the other. Not to mention, she pretends to be really similar, these two mothers and daughters are really masters of acting.

"Hey, hey! Ouch hey! It hurts me to death, Xiaoqin! Take me to the hospital! Stomach cramps were terrible. ”

Zhang Xiaoqin hurriedly put away the trace of unbearability in her heart, and ran to Wu Ju's side to support her arm, "A-Niang, what's wrong with you?" You okay? ”

Seeing this, Fu's mother, who was feeding the pigs in the yard, threw down the pig food scoop in her hand and came over to express her concern.
