Chapter 18: The River Cabin

A few weeks later, it happened to be the Qingming Festival holiday, and at noon that day, Xiaorui was practicing in the piano room, and Tang's mother walked in.

"Xiaorui, someone called you. ”

"Well, it's supposed to be the 'Big Bear' them. Xiao Rui stopped playing the piano and said.

"No, it's a middle-aged man's voice. Tang Ma muttered, "I don't know who it is?"

"Middle-aged man?" Xiao Rui was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, "Haha, it's Uncle Long." As he spoke, he rushed out of the piano room.

"Uncle Long?" the look of doubt on Tang's mother's face was even heavier. Follow Xiaorui downstairs.

Xiao Rui answered the phone, and his face was excited.

"Xiao Rui, who are you talking about Uncle Long?" asked Mama Tang.

"Oh, he's the owner of the 'Curiosity Bookstore', and he's a very kind person, and I met him when I used to go to that bookstore to read books, and he invited me to his house to see his collection. Xiao Rui replied happily.

"I just invited you to his house when we first met?" this ......" Tang's mother was a little worried.

"Mom, don't worry, Uncle Long is very good, don't worry. Xiao Rui looked at Tang's mother's worried look and wanted to dispel her worries.

"No, it's better for mom to go with you to compare insurance. Tang's mother felt that something was wrong in her heart, and she didn't dare to let Xiaorui go alone.

The two sides pulled out the river for a long time, and finally each took a step back, Tang's mother sent Xiaorui to the vicinity of Long's house, and then Xiaorui went in by himself.

front

Not far away is the Long family, Xiao Rui got out of the car, although Tang Ma was not at ease, but how could she regret what she had said in advance? I had to watch Xiao Rui walk towards the gate of the Long family, thinking that something was wrong, and immediately rushed forward.

"Wen Rui, are you here, so punctual!" Long Teng opened the door and saw Xiao Rui, and greeted him in with a smile as he spoke.

"Dad, Mom, Jiayi, Feiyan, this is the 'little book friend' Tang Wenrui I mentioned to you before. ”

As soon as Long Teng's voice came out, four people immediately came out of the house, Long Teng's father, mother, wife and daughter, the two old men looked at Xiao Rui with kind eyebrows, smiling, Long Teng's wife has long hair, tall figure, fair skin, and a gentle smile on her face, which makes people feel more cordial, her daughter Long Feiyan is about the same age as Xiao Rui, with a ponytail, her eyes are crystal clear, and when she sees Xiao Rui, she smiles slightly, the corners of her mouth are upturned, and her teeth are slightly exposed. Xiao Rui looked at this kind family, and felt very cordial for a while, when he saw Grandpa Long and Grandma Long, it was like seeing grandparents who had never met, and Aunt Long and Feiyan were like Tang Ma and Wen Yun.

There is a small garden in the courtyard, it is spring, the flowers have not yet bloomed, but the grass has turned green, Xiao Rui imagined, in the summer, this place must be quite poetic. Walking into the hall, the interior furnishings are very simple and clean, which makes Xiaorui's intimacy a little more aggravated.

"Wen Rui is a child who likes to read and thinks for himself, and as soon as I met, I felt that this child was destined for me. Long Teng said with a smile.

"Uncle Long, I also feel very close to you. Xiao Rui said.

"Yes, maybe we were a couple of forgetful friends in the previous life!" Long Teng said jokingly.

The family was delighted when they heard it.

Then Long Teng led Xiao Rui into the "Library Pavilion" on the second floor, which was a neatly arranged bookcase, and in the bookcase were beautifully bound books. Xiao Rui was dumbfounded, his small bookcase was simply at the level of a little ant compared to this. Long Teng couldn't help but smile when he looked at him, he remembered the scene when he first saw someone else's book collection.

"Xiaorui, come here, I'll introduce you. Long Teng led Xiao Rui forward.

"Here is Chinese history, "Historical Records", "Twenty-four History", "Zizhi Tongjian" and so on, here is Chinese geography, here is political books,......。 Long Teng pointed to the books in the bookcase and introduced them one by one. Xiao Rui's eyes were bright, and he was salivating as if he had seen his favorite meal when he looked at those exquisite books.

"Alright. That's all I have. Long Teng had finished introducing all the books in the bookcase and breathed a sigh of relief.

"There are so many books here. Uncle, can I borrow some and read them back?" asked Xiao Rui timidly.

"Yes, as long as you are careful not to damage the pages, you can borrow it. Long Teng readily agreed.

"Oh, that's great! thank you, Uncle Long!" Xiao Rui jumped up excitedly.

"Xiaorui, you reminded my uncle of his love of books when he was a child, and now it is rare to meet a child like you who loves to read. Long Teng looked at Xiao Rui's excited appearance, and was also happy, squinting his eyes and saying.

"Come, Uncle will take you to a good place again. Long Teng took Xiao Rui's hand and walked out.

The two walked out of the library pavilion, went downstairs, walked through the back door on the first floor, and walked out, in front of them was a low grass, on the left was the fragrant yellow flowers, on the right was the trees that had just budded, Xiao Rui was in a good mood to enjoy this beautiful scenery. After walking a little further, turning to the left, Xiao Rui saw two small wooden houses built by the river in front of him, both made of wooden planks, full of traces of time, it seemed that they had been built for a long time.

"Come in and have a look. Long Teng pushed open the door of one of the wooden houses and beckoned Xiao Rui to enter.

Xiao Rui walked in and took a look, the furnishings in the wooden house are very simple, but they are also very clean, the innermost is a wooden bed, a set of bedding, a square table on the left side, four chairs, various cooking utensils and tableware hanging on the wall, a small standing cabinet with various condiments, fishing utensils on the right side, and a closed small cabinet on the wall.

"How do you feel?" asked Long Teng with a smile.

"Well, it feels so clean and cozy. Xiao Rui said. Then he pointed to the small cabinet closed on the right side and asked, "What's in that little cabinet?"

"Hehe, look. Long Teng opened the cabinet, and there were two rows of books neatly placed inside.

"Does Uncle often read here?" asked Xiao Rui.

"Not only food for thought, but also delicious food! I often fish, and then cook my own, and it tastes good!" Long Teng said, pointing to fishing tackle and cooking gear, "Look, this is what fishing and cooking fish are for." ”

"That's great! I also like to eat fish, but I've never caught it myself. Xiao Rui said enviously.

"I can teach you to fish, it's not early today, the golden time for fishing has passed, next time you come early, I'll teach you how to fish." Caught and ate together. Long Tengle said happily.

"That's great! Thank you, Uncle Long!" Xiao Rui exclaimed excitedly.

"As long as you are willing to learn, your uncle is willing to teach. Okay, it's not too early, you should go back early, I guess your parents are worried, they should think I have some plans. Long Teng said.

"Nope. I fully trust Uncle Long. Uncle Long is a great man. Xiao Rui argued.

"Haha....... Long Teng was overjoyed when he heard this, and couldn't help but touch Xiao Rui's head. "Let's go. ”

"Okay!" Xiao Rui replied, and the two walked out of the wooden house together.

"Xiao Rui, are you okay?" Tang's mother, who was already waiting impatiently, saw Xiao Rui coming over with a bag and sitting in the car, and hurriedly asked with concern.

"Mom, of course it's fine. Uncle Long's family was fine, and invited me to eat snacks and fruits, and Uncle Long also agreed to lend me books, and said that he would teach me fishing another day. Xiao Rui finished speaking in one breath, with a smile on his face.

"Well, it's okay. Tang Ma breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's go home." ”

"Well, I'm so happy today! Mom, listen to me while driving. ......" Xiao Rui began to narrate everything he had experienced in the Long family, and Tang Ma couldn't help but smile when she looked at him overjoyed and her eyebrows fluttering, it seemed that she was too worried.
