Back in 2002, Lin Xiaochuan and Zeng Miao were 9 years old and were both studying at Xindi Primary School, but they were not in the same class. And Lin Xiaomei is about to be 6 years old.

"Mom!" Every time the elementary school bus stopped at the blue stop on the edge of the North Lake, only Zeng Miao and Lin Xiaochuan got out of the car.

At this time, Zeng Miao's mother, a gentle and virtuous housewife, was already standing at the docking point, counting the time when her daughter would go home, waiting for a long time.

And Lin Xiaochuan walked down from the school bus, and there was no mother waiting by his side, he would always stare at the mother and daughter next to him jealously, and the brighter the mother smiled, the more uncomfortable he felt in his heart.

"Brother!" And in place of Lin Xiaochuan's mother is his sister.

My sister stared at the side of the road from the window on the second floor, waiting for the time when Lin Xiaochuan would go home, as soon as she saw the yellow steel bus in front of her, she immediately ran downstairs, rushed out of the house, and ran to pick up her brother.

And Lin Xiaomei will not be in the first grade of primary school until another year.

"I'm back!" Zeng Miao's mother gently took her daughter's little hand and walked back to her home with comfortable steps, while Zeng Miao's home was in the row in front of Lin Xiaochuan's house, so they parted ways at the bus stop.

"Did you have fun at school today?"

"Uh-huh!" Zeng Miao nodded mechanically, but the gaze of his eyes turned back, staring at the pair of brothers and sisters in the distance.

"Mom? Who are they? Zeng Miao was full of curiosity about the pair of brothers and sisters in the distance, especially when Zeng Miao was staring at them, Lin Xiaochuan was also staring at the mother and daughter in the distance.

"Who?" Following her daughter's gaze, Zeng Miao's mother also looked at the Lin Xiaochuan brothers and sisters, "Oh! That's the neighbor's kids, do you want to play with them? ”

Although Zeng Miao really wanted to play with them, the little girl's cowardly heart stopped her, Zeng Miao not only did not nod in agreement, but hugged her mother's thighs tightly with both hands.

Lin Xiaochuan looked at the mother and daughter in the distance and suddenly stood in place and didn't leave, and the mother turned to look at her side. He suddenly felt blushing, as if his jealousy, jealousy and hatred had been noticed, and in order to hide his panic, he deliberately grimaced at Zeng Miao in the distance. At this time, Zeng Miao was even more afraid to play with the two of them.

Sometimes Lin Xiaochuan and his sister were playing in the yard in front of their house, and Zeng Miao was standing by the window on the second floor of his house, and through the window facing the back street, he could just see the gate of Lin Xiaochuan's house. Zeng Miao just stood dumbfounded, looking at Lin Xiaochuan, looking at the lively sister, and a longing rose leisurely from her young heart: It would be nice if she had an older brother.

"Mom!" One night at dinner, Zeng Miao and his family sat around a table, his father was only Zhongxiang's local finance minister, but unlike Lin Xiaochuan's parents, even if he was busy with work, this father would try to find time to go home for dinner. And having dinner is precisely the time time when a family has the best chance to get together.

"What's wrong? Baby? Hearing the slightly sad tone in his daughter's mouth, before the mother could open her mouth, the father, who was sitting at the head of the table, had already put down the bowl in his hand, touched his daughter's little head, and whispered with concern.

"I want a brother too!"

Hearing her daughter say such a sentence, especially in the eyes of adults, there is still a hint of a hint that children don't understand, so Zeng Miao's parents looked at each other, and they couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Your daughter has been staring at a pair of brothers and sisters in the back street lately, and she doesn't dare to come forward to play with them, she is the same as you when you were a child!"

Hearing that from his wife, he compared some of his daughter's habits with those of his own childhood, and the father was a little happy on the one hand, and a little guilty on the other.

Father looked at Xiao Zeng Miao again, and saw that the chopsticks in her hand didn't move, but she was very sad there with her head down.

"Little baby! The older boy is called the elder brother, and you are the only daughter in the family, which means that you are the eldest child in the family, so ......"

Before his father finished speaking, the smart little Zeng Miao already understood the meaning of his father's words, that is, because he was born first, he would never have a brother, and he would never have one.

Zeng Miao began to cry, and the chopsticks in his hand slipped from between his fingers and fell on the table.

"I want a brother! I want a ......"

Zeng Miao's family may not know that every night when they have dinner, there will always be uninvited guests in their backyard, looking inside through the low floor-to-ceiling windows, although the sound of their conversation during dinner is not yet heard, but the warm scenes at home are in full view.

"Brother! I really want my mom and dad to have dinner with me! Lin Xiaomei, who was hiding by the floor-to-ceiling window with Lin Xiaochuan, also looked at everything in the house with big eyes, for them, the big house in front of them was the strategic headquarters of the enemy, and it was a hostile existence in everything and every corner.

"Don't talk!" Every time Lin Xiaochuan looked at Zeng Miao's family and sat happily together, the sun that he was envious of was eclipsed, and the hungry wolf who was jealous howled under the full moon.

And at this time, Lin Xiaochuan didn't even have time to take care of Lin Xiaomei.

"Cry! Cry! Crying" Lin Xiaochuan looked at Zeng Miao, who was so happy, and was still crying in front of his parents, as if someone had poured a bucket of oil on his anger bushes, "Why are you crying!" Why are you crying! What right do you have to cry......"

Later, there were always only two children, Lin Xiaochuan and Zeng Miao, who got off the bus from the blue bus stop sign by the North Lake. And every time Zeng Miao looked at Lin Xiaochuan's back with his head held high as if looking at the moon, he disappeared in front of his eyes. And Lin Xiaochuan doesn't look at this neighbor's child with disdain every time.

One day, there was a Saturday and weekend holiday, and it was a bright spring morning, and it was almost time for lunch.

Lin Xiaochuan sat in front of the computer monitor, and he had already started playing online games in elementary school. And Lin Xiaomei was sitting alone on the sofa in the living room, turning on the TV, watching "Cat and Mouse" on the children's channel.

Aunt Li walked out of the kitchen and saw that it was the resident of the previous street, so she opened the door without hesitation.

"Excuse me, is it Lin Xiaochuan's mother?"

"It's not! I'm the babysitter they hired at home! ”

"What about Lin Xiaochuan's mother? Can you please come out and talk, I am Zeng Miao's mother on the opposite street, and my daughter and your child go to the same elementary school. ”

"Lin Xiaochuan's mother is not at home!" Aunt Li replied confidently, "If there is anything, I can help you make a call!" ”

"Oh! It's not a hurry, it's just that someone in the family has recently sent a lot of game, and today I made a meal and wanted to invite her and her children to have a meal together. By the way, the children of the two families also know each other, and in the future, there will be a playmate in the neighborhood. ”

"Then you wait for me to call and ask his mother!" Hearing Zeng Miao's mother say this, it means that he doesn't have to cook at noon, no matter how good things are, he can naturally help if he can.

"Dut...... Honk...... Toot ......"
