Ye Zifan hugged Mai Bao on the bench and chatted with him affectionately.

"Mabel, what are you going to draw today?"

"I'm going to paint flowers, birds, and tall buildings over there!"

Mai Bao stretched out his fleshy little finger to the object to be painted, and when he moved to the tall building in the distance, his originally excited little face sank and looked sullen.

Ye Zifan said with concern: "Mai Bao, what's wrong with you?" ”

Mai Bao lowered his head and twisted his fingers, and his tone was sluggish: "Uncle, Dad said we were moving!" ”

"Maibao, the family is very old, and I can live in a new house after I move?"

Maizi refused to move into the prepared house, so Ye Zifan planned to start with Maibao.

"Uncle, the yard is very old, but that's Mai Bao's home. There's a little sparrow, a neem tree, and McPow's secret base. ”

After saying that, Mai Bao hurriedly covered his little mouth, apparently accidentally leaking the secret.

Ye Zifan was curious and asked, "Mai Bao, you still have a secret base!" That's amazing! Can you take my uncle to see it? “

Mai Bao waved his little hand with a mysterious face: "No, it belongs to Mai Bao alone!" ”

Ye Zifan pretended to be sad and bitter: "Mai Bao, good things are meant to be shared with good friends, isn't uncle your friend?" ”

Mai Bao suddenly felt that he had hurt Ye Zifan, although he was so entangled, his insistence on keeping it secret in his heart was still defeated by Ye Zifan's sad handsome face.

"Uncle, you have to promise that you can't leak my secret."

Ye Zifan couldn't help but smile and said, "Uncle promises, this is the secret of my two people, Mai Bao and me." ”

Mai Bao stretched out his fleshy little hand and bent his little thumb like a lotus root: "Uncle, let's pull the hook!" ”

Ye Zifan also followed Mai Bao's example and hooked his little thumb.

"The hook hangs for a hundred years!"

Hooking his fingers, Mai Bao completely relieved his heart and told Ye Zifan about his secret base.

"Uncle, there is a hole in a big tree in the yard, and it is Maibao's secret base. Even Dad doesn't know! There's a treasure trove of goodies there. ”

Mai Bao's excited little face sank again.

"But the yard will be gone soon, and Mabao's secret base will be gone!"

"Uncle, why did you say you wanted to demolish the house? We live well, why move?

"Mai Bao is so reluctant to be there!"

Mai Bao has lived in the yard since he was a child, and he already has a deep affection for the yard. I always listen to the grandparents in the yard talk about demolishing the house, and the ignorant Mai Bao doesn't understand very well. He asked his father why he wanted to move, and he said that it was too old and that the government was going to build a new house.

"Uncle, Mai Bao doesn't understand, is the house going to be torn down when it's old?"

"Isn't the old house very pitiful, we don't want them anymore, will they be sad and weep?"

Mai Bao's childish words but Ye Zifan, who asked Ye Zifan, was speechless, and those hypocritical words to deal with the outside world couldn't be said when they met Mai Bao's innocent eyes and innocent face.

But the matter of demolition and relocation is a foregone conclusion, and there is no room for maneuver. Ye Zifan organized the language in his heart for a long time before he carefully explained: "Mai Bao, the house can't be inhabited if it's old, it won't be safe!" We rebuild the old house into a new house, and it can live again and play its role. The old house will be happy because it can help everyone again. ”

Mai Bao was not happy after hearing this, but still looked sullen.

"But the family doesn't have the money to get a new house. Dad has been working late lately late, and he said he wanted to save up to rent a new house. But Mai Bao couldn't help his father at all. ”

Ye Zifan was sad for a while, and hugged Mai Bao tightly in his arms, he didn't know how to comfort the villain in his arms, a child who was less than four years old could be so sensible. Those gorgeous words couldn't say a word, and Mabel brought him too much shock today.

"Mai Bao, I'm almost done drawing, why are you still there!"

The little boy's voice came from afar.

Mai Bao broke away from Ye Zifan's arms and jumped down from the bench with a scream, and said anxiously: "Uncle, I'm going to paint quickly, otherwise the teacher will be fierce!" ”

After saying that, he ran to the flowers, made it next to the little boy, spread the drawing board on his lap, lowered his head and began to draw seriously.

Ye Zifan looked at the two small figures in the distance sitting side by side in the pink flowers, and smiled warmly at the corners of his mouth.

Mabel, those innocences of yours, Uncle will keep for you.

A bold idea slowly sprouted from the bottom of my heart......
