"Okay, stop crying. Don't cry...... The little face was crying. ”

When she agreed, the girl burst into tears and smiled, sniffing and laughing happily.

Yan Xingguo leaned down a little and reached out to wipe the dust and tears on the girl's face.

"Well, stop crying, grandpa."

"Well, good, go back and go back to the handkerchief that grandpa gave you, you wash your face first, this little face is full of ashes, how long has it been since you washed it."

Yan Xingguo withdrew his hand and said to the little girl with a smile.

The little girl listened and tightened the corners of Yan Xingguo's clothes even more, as if she was afraid that Yan Xingguo would dislike her.

"It's okay, just wipe the dust on your face."

"Now, can you tell Grandpa what your name is?"

Yan Xingguo asked the girl.

But the girl looked at him nervously, pursed her lips, and refused to answer her name.

just clutched the corners of Yan Xingguo's clothes tightly, with tears in his eyes,

It seems that he is afraid that Yan Xingguo will not take her back because she refuses to answer her name.

"Okay, okay, it's okay, I don't want to say it, grandpa won't ask."

"Then you're going to go back with grandpa first?"

"Uh-huh, grandpa, I'll help you carry these things."

"Can you move it? Or maybe grandpa himself mentions it. ”

"I can move, grandpa, I have a lot of strength."

The girl in the red dress, the girl who was still sniffing, took the initiative to mention the rice and vegetables that the old man put on the ground just now,

But there is always a hand pulling the corner of Yan Xingguo's clothes,

Yan Xingguo looked at the little girl's little hand holding the corner of his clothes,

Is this little girl abandoned by her family?

That's why I'm so afraid of separation.

Yan Xingguo stretched out his old rough hand and took the initiative to hold the little girl's hand,

Laughing again, I watched the little girl carry the rice and vegetables with some difficulty.

"Alright, let's go back."

"Uh-huh...... Actually, grandpa, you can call me Honghong. ”

"Honghong? Okay, grandpa will call you Honghong. ”

The old man spoke, and slowly walked towards the residential area.

“…… Lao Yan, who is this little girl, it looks strange and distressing. ”

"The daughter of a relative's family, who ran out secretly, will stay with me for a few days first."

……

"Hmm...... You put on these slippers first, and in the afternoon, grandpa will buy you a pair of shoes, don't be barefoot, the ground is cold. ”

"Thank you, grandpa, sit down, grandpa, I'll help you cook."

"I can cook, huh...... I've seen people do it, and they should be. ”

"Okay, grandpa will take you to wash your face first, you wash your hands."

"Okay, grandpa."

With the girl Honghong, Yan Xingguo's house seems to be a lot more lively.

Finally there was a voice to speak.

With such a lively granddaughter, Yan Xingguo's body, which was getting more and more tired, suddenly seemed to be much more energetic.

Took the little girl to wash her face and hands,

Because there was no change of clothes in the house for the time being, the girl was still wearing the red dress covered with dust.

"Grandpa, I'll help you cook......"

"I'll do it myself......"

"Then I'll help you choose the dishes."

The little girl always wants to help with something,

And he was always next to Yan Xingguo, he was in the living room, and she was sitting next to him.

He was in the kitchen, and she was also standing on the edge of the kitchen, and when she couldn't see him for a while, she was extremely aggrieved.

In the afternoon, Yan Xingguo took the girl to buy a pair of shoes and a few clothes for the girl.

However, the girl felt very happy when she put on the shoes, but the girl was reluctant to change the bright red skirt on her body.

Yan Xingguo couldn't resist the girl, so he could only hold a piece of cloth and barely wipe off the ash on the girl's skirt.

The girl looked at the red dress that had lost a lot of gray, but she grinned happily.

“…… Okay, go to sleep, I'll go sleep too. ”

When it was night, seeing that the girl was still holding the corner of his clothes, unwilling to walk away,

Yan Xingguo smiled and said to the girl again,

"Don't worry, grandpa is sleeping in the next room, and he won't go anywhere."

"Grandpa, I'll put you to sleep, I'll sing to you, put you to sleep!"

"Still putting me to sleep? Honghong will also coax people to sleep? ”

"Grandpa, I'll put you to sleep, grandpa...... I watched you fall asleep, I'll go back to sleep! ”

The girl said stubbornly.

Yan Xingguo couldn't resist it, so he just smiled and nodded.

"Good...... You put grandpa to sleep. ”

……

"Grandpa, lie down, cover the quilt, and I'll sing to you and put you to sleep."

The girl took great pains to let Yan Xingguo be in bed, and also straightened the corner of the quilt for Yan Xingguo.

Then he said to Yan Xingguo,

"Good, good ......"

The girl sang the same song she had sung to Yan Xingguo before,

It seems that she will only have such a song,

"The East is red, the sun rises ......"

When the girl's singing sounded, Yan Xingguo stiffened,

Looking at the girl, she was silent for a while, and then relaxed again,

In the midst of this repetitive singing, Yan Xingguo closed his eyes,

fell asleep.

Yan Xingguo, who hasn't slept well for a long time,

But in the girl's singing, she fell asleep very peacefully.

I didn't wake up until the next morning.

When you wake up,

didn't see the girl for the first time, Yan Xingguo was a little panicked,

I'm afraid the girl is gone.

waited to get up, only to find that the girl had already gotten up and was setting up a bench in the kitchen.

Learn from the way he did when he cooked yesterday, cooking in the kitchen,

But I don't seem to know where it won't, and I'm facing the pot with some troubles.

"Grandpa...... What's next? ”

"Put the cut vegetables down and stir-fry."

"Oh! I will! ”

The girl seems to be really good at it, and she rushes to come every time she stir-fries later.

With such a lively granddaughter, Yan Xingguo had a lot more smile on his face than usual,

Maybe he also likes to be lively.

Time goes on day after day,

Yan Xingguo still doesn't know what the girl's name is and where she is from.

It's really just calling the girl Honghong as a granddaughter.

It's just that even with such a lively granddaughter by his side,

Yan Xingguo's body still couldn't withstand it, and he was tired again and weakened.

Even though he had been in good spirits for a while, he was still old.

Sometimes you can fall asleep on the couch while sitting,

When he woke up, he found that there was an extra blanket on his body, which the girl had covered him.

“…… Honghong, who are you, appeared when I needed it most. ”

"Hee-hee, I'm Honghong."

Another night.

Yan Xingguo took the girl and looked at the night sky on the balcony,

The girl also moved a chair for him, and Yan Xingguo lay on the chair,

Looking at the night sky, he muttered and couldn't stop asking.

The girl heard even this whisper, and grinned in response.

The old man also smiled, looked at the girl in the red dress, and didn't ask again.

"Grandpa, what's that star?"

"Well, that's supposed to be Polaris."

The light in the capital is very strong, and even on a clear enough night, only the brighter stars can be seen.

"So, what about that one?"

"That's Arcturus."

"What about that? Twinkle and twinkle. ”

"That's not a star, it's just a plane that flies."

"Isn't the night sky full of stars?"

……

"Crackling ......"

In the study, the sound of crackling keyboard tapping,

The sky outside the window has completely darkened at night,

Even if the speed of Ji Clumpy code words is already very fast,

But it is obviously impossible to finish the story of the first chapter, 'Dream of the Stars', today.

The sound of the keyboard stopped,

Ji Zhuo also stopped the code word,

"Hoo ......"

Feeling the soreness of his fingers, Ji Zhuo looked at the part of the content that had been written on the codeword software.

Long exhaled,

Today he probably wrote nearly 20,000 words,

If you want to post it in a serial, this number of words seems to be enough.

However, the story of this first chapter has not been written, do you want to contribute to pen and ink?

Ji Zhuo pondered.
