He Niannian, a 13-year-old junior high school student in a small village in Hexing County, was mowing grass in the field with a trumpet sickle after school, surrounded by ducklings grazing and playing.

When the sun went down and the sky gradually darkened, He Niannian carried a small basket and drove ten ducklings to start walking home. At the corner of the intersection, I happened to meet the lady of the same village who also drove the duck back, and the ducks of the two families were mixed together by mistake, and when the lady walked over, He Niannian counted only eight, and she quickly called people to stop.

"Auntie, my ducklings are missing two, you wait and let me find them."

The woman known as the eldest lady was in her forties, and she was a little reluctant, but she still stopped, "Then you hurry up and find it." ”

Because the sky was already a little dark, He Niannian picked two out of the pile of ducklings according to the size and coat color of his ducklings.

"Auntie, I picked it out, thank you." He Niannian saw that her expression was a little impatient, and she didn't have time to take a closer look and hurriedly said.

The lady didn't say anything and drove the duck away.

He Niannian put the ducklings down, and then continued to drive them home.

When he came back from school at noon the next day, He Niannian picked up a plate of cut grass on the balcony as usual to feed the ducks.

"Mom, Mom, come and see." He Niannian found that there was a problem with the duckling, and quickly turned his head and shouted at his mother, who was cooking in the east wing.

"What's wrong? I'm busy. Xiao Guiying was stir-frying vegetables in her hands, so she could only shout loudly and ask her daughter what was wrong.

didn't hear her daughter's answer, Xiao Guiying was afraid that there would be something wrong with Niannian, so she hurriedly put the dish on a plate when it was cooked, and then filled the pot with a spoonful of water, so as not to dry the pot.

When I got out of the east wing, I saw my daughter squatting and lying next to the fence with ducks, "What's the matter, don't say a word, do you still want to eat and go to school." ”

He Niannian looked up at his mother, his little face was aggrieved, and there were tears in his eyes, "Mom, this little duck is blind, not our family." ”

Xiao Guiying, who had lost her daughter's number, closed her mouth when she saw her daughter's pitiful appearance, and half-squatted down to look at the duck pointed by her little finger.

There were ten ducks in the circle, nine of them were all fighting for grass in front of Nian Nian, and the one stood dumbly shaking his head as if looking for something to eat, and then looked at the eyes, covered with a film, not as translucent as other ducks, and he was really blind.

Yesterday, my daughter told herself about looking for ducks, and I thought it would be the same to take two of them, but who knew that one of them was blind.

"Forget it, this is what you are looking for, and you can't complain about others, wash your hands and eat quickly, I'm going to deliver food to your dad in a while." Xiao Guiying thought about it for a while, so she urged her daughter to eat and go to school.

He Niannian was unwilling, "I want to change back my duckling, don't want this one." So saying, she picked up the duck, whose eyes seemed to be covered with a film, and got up and ran out of the house.

"This kid." Xiao Gui was so angry that he wanted to slap her, but he still followed out, that family was not easy to get along with, and he couldn't let his daughter suffer.

When she walked to the house that arrived not far from her in a few minutes, she heard He Cuilian's loud voice at the gate.

"You stinky girl, get out of here."

"Bang" Xiao Guiying kicked on the iron door, "He Cuilian, how do you speak," Xiao's mother stood at the door domineeringly, crossed her hands on her waist, and looked at He Cuilian.

"Mom." He Niannian shed tears of grievance, and still held the little duck in his hand.

"Okay, go home, don't mess up with your aunt." Xiao Guiying walked in and put her arm around her daughter's shoulders and said.

"I didn't care much about her, she picked it herself yesterday, I didn't interfere, and now I can't go back." He Cuilian, who was suppressed by Xiao Guiying's domineering, was a little weak, but she still insisted on not changing the duck.

"You don't know what your own ducks are? Yesterday, when you were thinking about it, why didn't you remind me that there was a duck who was blind, what kind of heart do you have for yourself, don't think I don't know, if you don't care about you, you just stay honestly. Xiao Guiying glared at He Cuilian and exposed her lies.

He Cuilian pursed her lips, although she did it on purpose, but the person who picked it was herself, and she finally changed the blind man out, and it was impossible to change it back.

On the way back, He Niannian was still unhappy, Xiao's mother slapped her on the head, "Why are you so unproductive, don't cry in the future, do you hear?" ”

He Niannian pursed his mouth and held back the tears in his eyes to prevent them from falling.

"This duck is destined for you, or her ten ducks, why would you have picked it, didn't you?" As a real mother, she began to fool her daughter.

"Is that so?" He Niannian raised his head and looked at his mother with big eyes.

"yes, so you'll have to take good care of it in the future, maybe it will be able to see it in a while." My mother continued to flicker, hey, it's not easy to coax, and the coaxing passed when I was a few years old.

"Well, I'll take good care of this little duck." He Niannian nodded vigorously after hearing this, and was suddenly full of energy.

Silly child, "Okay, hurry back to eat and go to school, the dishes are cold, and your father is still waiting in the field for me to deliver food." My mother urged.

Now that the earth is warming up at the end of March, she has to water the wheat, and her family's five acres of land have to be watered for a day and a night. After eating, I had to go to the field to help repair the ditch and change the furrow.

Besides, the blind duckling has always been the focus of He Niannian's attention, specially put it by the sink, let it eat duck food alone, and grass, and wait a few days later, at noon when He Niannian took the grass and water to feed the ducks, a group of ducks rushed to the duck pen, barking at her, she quickly threw the grass that her mother had cut into small pieces before, and put the water on the other side of the sink.

Hey? When she wanted to feed the special duck alone, she found that the ducklings were all eating together, and the little guy who usually stood in the middle was gone.

He Niannian looked for it from the inside, and found out the little duck that was treated specially, when she saw those smart eyes, He Niannian was surprised, she repeatedly confirmed that this was the duck, and there was a big black spot on the tip of its left wing, yes.

"Mom, Mom." He Niannian shouted loudly to his mother, who was cooking.

"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Guiying motioned to her husband He Hao to take over the shovel in his hand, wiped his hands with his apron, and walked towards her daughter.

"Mom, look, it's okay." He Niannian said to his mother in surprise and raised the duckling in his hand high.

Xiao Guiying looked at it and found that the thin film in its eyes had disappeared, and it had never encountered anything like that before, "Well, didn't you say it, you have a relationship with it, look, aren't its eyes good?" ”

"Mom, you mean it's only good because of my eyes?" He Niannian looked at his mother a little nervously, hoping to get an answer.

"Are you stupid, hurry up and eat," Xiao Guiying put the duck in her daughter's hand into the duck pen and pulled her to wash her hands.

Hehe, He Niannian, who was said to be stupid, smirked happily.

When she came back from school in the afternoon, He Niannian saw Aunt He Cuilian planting trees on the side of the road by the river. But the little duckling's eyes were better, and she was very happy, and called out to the people who were digging a pit on the side of the road.

"Oops," He Cuilian, who was concentrating on digging the soil, was startled and almost threw away the shovel, "What are you shouting, I haven't seen anyone, hurry up." He Cuilian scolded her angrily.

He Niannian pursed his mouth, snorted and left.

When I told my parents about it at dinner in the evening, I said that I was unhappy and needed to be coaxed.

"Lao He, didn't you say that private people by the river are not allowed to plant trees?" Xiao's mother thought about it and asked Dad He.

"Well, it's been more than half a month since the notice came down, and it was said that in the future, the riverside will be owned by the government, and only the village branch can plant trees." Father He said while eating.

He Niannian saw that her parents didn't comfort her, and she ate sullenly alone.

"Don't tell the outside world about this, just tell your family." Xiao's mother instructed her daughter.

"Oh." She replied sullenly, don't coax me when you tell you, and tell others that people won't pay attention to me, what do I say.

Xiao's mother added her favorite dishes to her daughter, only to see her daughter showing a smiling face, it's so coaxing, silly girl.

Who knew that only two days later, He Cuilian came to the door and scolded He Niannian.
