Chapter 26: Childhood, Sweet and Wild

Cao'er had short hair cut at that time, and he looked like a little boy who didn't slip in the autumn. I often blow up balloons with my cheeks to play. I always hear Grandma Cao'er chatting with people:

"Ouch, this is your grandson? Very well-behaved! ”

"Alas, I just walked too much and came out without all the tools!"

Cao'er didn't know why she remembered this, maybe everyone she saw asked this, and grandma answered like this. But the grass is very carefree, and there is no regret at all.

However, Lao Yuntou, the grandfather of Cao'er, who was dissatisfied with his granddaughter Cao'er who came out without all the tools, not only lost his dislike for a long time, but also loved his granddaughter. Cao'er didn't know why, she didn't buy Lao Yuntou's account at all, she just accepted Lao Yuntou's love for herself, chased Lao Yuntou to tell her stories, but never called "grandpa".

Until Cao'er was five years old, the whole family sat around for dinner, and Cao'er ran around people's knees to eat the dishes that the adults sandwiched to her. Lao Yuntou also took a piece of egg, called Cao'er to his side, Cao'er staggered in response, ran over, stretched over the bowl to pick up Lao Yuntou's egg with chopsticks, and suddenly called "Grandpa" to him, his speech was clear, everyone heard it, and everyone was very happy.

"Finally called grandpa! Your grandfather has been waiting for you for five years."

Grandma Cao'er said with a flower blooming on her face, and she gently patted the back of her granddaughter's head.

Hearing his granddaughter call herself "grandpa" for the first time in five years, Lao Yuntou suddenly burst into joy and couldn't close his mouth with joy.

After Cao'er called "grandpa", she lowered her head and ate the rice in her bowl by herself, turning a deaf ear to everyone's praise and praise.

Since then, Cao'er's grandfather has been called countless times by Cao'er, his heart is very sweet, and he loves his granddaughter even more, and he is obedient.

The uncles also loved the grass. Cao'er called Yun Gang the eldest uncle, called Yun Jin the third uncle, and called Yun Yi the little uncle.

The uncles went out to work in the farm during the day, and when they came back at night, they took their eldest niece to make dinner in the kitchen, and then they picked up their eldest niece and put it on their knees, and took her by both hands, and pushed and pulled to make the grass giggle.

The third uncle, who can go out to do muddy work, often brings three or five small puppets to Cao'er when he comes back, which are small and the size of the third uncle's thumb, and the movements are different. Cao'er wakes up every morning, and if she doesn't get up, she will take those little puppets given to her by her third uncle and make up the characters to play her own games. In this way, you can play for a morning.

Indeed, Cao'er is a wonderful little person, she is surrounded by friendly people, she has a good time with them, but she can also have a good time with herself. Since the young lady next door taught her to play poker, Cao'er has more fun, that is, pestering the little aunt to play poker with herself, when the little aunt is not free, she hides in the room, opens the door and the window, and plays happily with her left and right hands.

But Cao'er's greatest pleasure is to go to the city with her grandmother to visit relatives. Grandma Cao'er's sister and brother are in the city. Grandma often invited one or two old ladies or little daughters-in-law from the village to walk into the city with the grass.

When the grass was young, it was carried by the grandmother, when she was three or four years old, the grandmother carried a section or carried a section, and the grass walked for a while, and when she was five years old, she was basically encouraged by her grandmother to run not far in front of her grandmother and sit down, and when her grandmother and the adults who were talking with her were about to come to her, she stood up and ran again.

When I got to the streets, the villagers who went with me went to buy their own things. Grandma Cao'er would first take Cao'er to eat a bowl of wontons, and then buy a big duck pear when she came out of the restaurant. Cao'er held a golden duck pear, biting it one by one, the sweet juice flowed out of the corners of her mouth, from the wonton restaurant on the street to the end of the street Cao'er's grandmother's sister, Cao'er's aunt's house, happiness flowed with the juice at the corner of Cao'er's mouth.

Cao'er's grandmother's sister was looking at the goods in a goods store, and every time, Cao'er and her grandmother would go up to the attic on the second floor, and the aunt would grab a large handful of candy and biscuits and put them in front of Cao'er, and sometimes there would be some small toys.

At noon, Grandma Cao'er would take her granddaughter to her sister's house for lunch. After chatting for a while after the meal, Cao'er watched her aunt pack up some things, divide them into two sides, pick them with a sugar cane, and let her grandmother pick them home. As for my grandmother, she always said, "Take so many things again," but she took what her sister gave her with one hand—most of it was for grass to eat or use.

So, at about four o'clock in the afternoon, my grandmother carried two loads of things from my aunt with sugar cane, led the grass from the end of the street to the street, and then went home. Cao'er always obediently ate the candy she took from her aunt's house, and walked happily without making any noise. The figures of the grandfather and grandson were stretched long, and when they looked back, they were full of satisfaction.

The childhood of the grass is still full of the green of nature.

Usually in the afternoon, the grass grandma who carries the bucket goes to the vegetable garden, and the grass follows the grandmother back and forth. In the summer leafy grass in the afternoon, knowing the chirping, the grandmother took the grass's hand, picked up the long green grass, found the little knowledge hidden in the grass and the size of the little finger, caught it and put it on the palm of the grass's pink and tender hand. This is a small knowledge unique to the south, and the size of the fingertip of the little finger, the new green body, the transparent wings, the whole is like a small piece of new green jade.

Cao'er was tickled by the little knowledge in the palm of her hand, and couldn't help but giggle. Grandma also happily hugged the grass, the grass was still bent in the arms, half open palms, let the jade-like little acquaintances crawl gently in the palms of their hands, and screamed crisply.

Holding the grass, the grass grandmother crossed the small ditch, walked to the side of the road, put down the granddaughter who was still immersed in the happiness of getting a little knowledge, stepped on the stone protruding from the side of the mountain by the road, and bent down to pick the myrtle at the foot, which is called a horse **. The purple-black horse ** was plucked by Grandma Cao'er, skinned, and put into Cao'er's happy mouth. Cao'er's happiness is because of grandma's love and spoiling, and it is wave after wave.

After finishing her work in the afternoon, the grandmother walked in front with a load of empty buckets, and the grass still stepped on the ridges covered with green grass, following behind the grandmother. The grandmother, who had crossed the small ditch, stopped, turned to look at the grass that had come up but stopped on the opposite side of the ditch, and encouraged the eldest granddaughter:

"Don't be afraid, step out of your feet and step over!"

Cao'er still looked at the small ditch, a little worried that she wouldn't be able to cross it.

"Good granddaughter, this ditch is so narrow, it will definitely be able to step over, quickly, step over!"

The grass finally stepped forward and crossed the small ditch. But she didn't take two steps, but somehow she fell on the grass, she threw herself on the grass, put her hands on the ground, stretched her neck and looked up at her grandmother, who still carried the bucket and said to her granddaughter with a smile:

"Yo, little one, the more you fall, the more you grow, quick, get up, and follow grandma!"

When Cao'er heard what her grandmother said, she got up without saying a word and ran in front of her grandmother.

The people in the village who passed by couldn't help but smile and praise:

"Yo, it's really getting bigger and bigger, I know not to cry, I'm getting taller, I'm getting taller, and I'm falling again."

Grandma smiled and responded, but Cao'er still turned a deaf ear to the words of others, and still played with the Zhi'er in her hand by herself.
