The little tiger jumped up and hugged his father's long legs, and chattered excitedly.

Gu Qi petted and chuckled: "Okay, Dad knows everything." When I get home in the evening, I have a small gift for you. ”

"Okay! Thank you Dad! Xiaohuzi's cute little head turned around and asked, "Dad, where is Uncle Dali?" Didn't Mom say he came? ”

Gu Qi was making tea for the guests, and said, "It's all hot water here, it's not good for you to shake around here." You go to Uncle Dali, he seems to be with your aunt on the side of the big banyan tree. ”

"Good!" The little tiger slipped away and ran to the big banyan tree.

Ma Dali was indeed still with Gu Xuan, brought her hot tea to drink, and took some appetizing fruits, until Gu Xuan's face recovered a lot, and he dared to find an excuse to leave.

"Your sister-in-law has already arranged a task for me - let me take Xiaohuzi.

At this time, Xiaohuzi's familiar shout came from afar: "Uncle Dali~~"

Ma Dali followed the prestige and smiled in surprise.

"Huzi! Ouch! It's really Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here! I would have been talking to you first! As soon as I talk about you, you show up right away! ”

He caught up with the little guy who came running, and threw it up and lifted it high.

"Do you miss uncle? Yes? My little Cao Cao! ”

Little Tiger giggled.

Gu Xuan watched their interactions, one large and one small, and unconsciously saw God.

It wasn't until Ma Dali was pulled by Xiaohuzi to the beach to see the crabs that she suddenly came back to her senses and buried her head in a little embarrassment.

Such a man who loves life and cares about others...... I guess it's rare.

I heard my sister-in-law say that Ma Dali had a bad fate when he was a child, he lost his parents at a young age, and relied on strong perseverance to support the whole family, taking care of the family while studying, and struggling to pull his three younger siblings to grow up.

I thought he should be a gloomy, pessimistic and sad person - who knew that he was not!

It was completely different from what she thought, even very different.

……

In the pile of reefs by the sea, Ma Dali carried the little tiger on his back step by step, and slowly came to the reef according to the instructions of the little guy.

"No! Where did the big crab come from? ”

Little Tiger made a booing gesture and grinned and pointed to a tree hole in the corner.

"Inside! I found out the day before yesterday when I was going to sea with my cousin of the top three. I don't dare to catch it because it's so big! The top three cousins said that he had been chasing the sea for so many years, and it was the first time he had encountered such a big one. He held the crab down, tied its legs, and raised it in a hollow. ”

Ma Dali glanced at it and replied, "There is sea mud in it, and there are a few bubbles, it should still be alive." ”

"Alive!" Xiaohuzi smiled and replied, "When we go home in the evening, we will take it back." ”

Ma Dali asked funny: "Do you want to take it back and eat it?" Uncle can help you! ”

"Not really!" Xiaohuzi explained; "I'm going to keep it in a small stone jar in the yard."

Ma Dali shook his head: "I guess not." That stone jar was planted by your mother in the summer, and the water in it is not seawater, and the mud is not sea mud. The environment is different, and crabs are easy to die if they can't be raised, so it's better to hide them in their stomachs. ”

"Silly!" Xiaohuzi reminded: "It's not seawater, then take seawater back!" If it's not sea mud, then take it back! ”

Ma Dali couldn't cry or laugh: "This project is a big project at first glance. ”

When I came just now, it was already a little crowded, and if I added some sea water and sea mud, I tossed it around, and it was estimated that when I touched the north of the city, the sea mud and sea water only existed on everyone's cotton clothes.

This project is too dangerous - he doesn't dare take it!

Xiaohuzi patted him on the shoulder and said with full trust: "This task will be handed over to you!" Remember! Don't tell my mom, or she won't say yes. You're going to say that you arranged it, so my mom would be embarrassed to scold me. Also, you have to say that the crab is something you insist on raising, and it is only temporarily lent to me to play. ”

Ma Dali, who was forced to be the wronged leader: "......"

The sea breeze on the beach is very strong, and it is too cold after blowing for a long time. After reading the crab, Ma Dali carried the little guy back on his back.

Xiaohuzi lay on his shoulder and whispered apologetically: "Uncle Dali, I haven't been able to go back to my grandparents' house for many days this time." If I don't go to the factory, I can't help you deliver the message, I'm really sorry! ”

Ma Dali's eyes flashed slightly, and he pulled a bitter smile.

"I don't send it...... There's no need to send it. ”

Little Huzi's cute little face was surprised: "Why? Don't you like Aunt Li anymore? ”

Ma Dali smiled bitterly: "Huzi, you can't talk nonsense like this in the future." I ...... with her Just ordinary friends who know each other. It's not good for the woman's reputation to say such things, so it's good for you to know it in your heart, and you can't say it to others indiscriminately, you know? ”

"Uh-huh." Xiaohuzi nodded hurriedly: "My father said, let me send it secretly, don't tell others to know." Dad also said that this is your private matter, and you can't talk about it, otherwise it will be disrespectful to you. ”

"Yes, yes!" Ma Dali breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly praised his friend and wife for teaching the little guy so well: "In the future, I still can't say." ”

Xiaohuzi said: "I know! Just a big gift to Uncle Great...... Why didn't you send it? Didn't you say you were going to send it forever? ”

Ma Dali frowned slightly, and smiled bitterly: "It's useless to send it, why send it again." There are some things that you can't deceive yourself, and self-deception will not lead to good results. ”

Originally, he also wanted to wait for a fool, hoping that one day Li Damei would understand his deep affection.

But he forgot...... It's just his own wishful thinking.

He still has to live a good life, and he doesn't have so much "leisure and leisure" to pursue those ethereal things.

Since it's useless to send it, don't send it, don't let yourself have any more illusions, and completely break this mind.

Although Xiaohuzi is extremely smart, he is only a four-year-old child after all, where can he understand the twists and turns in the hearts of adults.

However, he was still keenly aware that Ma Dali's mood was wrong.

"If you don't send it, are you sad? Unhappy? ”

Ma Dali paused slightly, and pulled a bitter smile.

"It's okay...... It's not that sad. ”

It's not sad, but it's all a lie. Fortunately, he didn't fall deep, and he was glad that the other party never gave him any hope.

It's okay to be ruthless, turn this page earlier, and the new year is a new beginning.

Xiaohuzi thought about it for a while, and asked seriously repeatedly: "Uncle Da Li, really don't give it away?" Then do you have to send letters to other aunts in the future? ”

Ma Dali smiled and replied, "When my uncle graduates, when my uncle's career is successful, I will find an aunt who is as capable as your mother." When the time comes, I'll ask you to help me deliver the letter, okay? ”

"Okay, okay!" Xiaohuzi agreed.

Help Uncle Dali deliver letters, and he will receive small gifts. Send the letter out, he should still have candy to receive, just like Aunt Li, who will send a few small sugar grains to himself almost every time.

So, Xiaohuzi decided - to continue to be a little matchmaker, the kind that does not give up!

Ma Dali smiled: "Okay, then let's say so first." Uncle's lifelong happiness in the future, please trust the little tiger and the little matchmaker! ”

The little guy couldn't help but ask, "Then when you find that aunt, will you marry her?" Like my fourth uncle and fourth aunt today? ”

"Yes." Ma Dali whispered: "When the time comes, I will invite you to eat a lot of candy, and I will invite you to drink my wedding wine." ”

However, his wedding should not be so grand.

The economic situation of Ling Ling's family is beyond his reach, and there are really few families who can afford both a tractor and a motorcycle in Yucheng.

"I can't guarantee anything else now, but your little tiger's candy must be indispensable!"

"Great!" Xiaohuzi was overjoyed: "It's a pity that I was born too slowly, and I can't eat all the sweets of my uncle and aunt." But it doesn't matter, there are also Uncle Dali's and two aunts'. Yesterday Cousin Juanjuan cried, she said that when her father and mother got married, they didn't give her candy to eat, and they didn't take her to the banquet. Everyone laughs at her for being a little silly girl! When the second uncle and the second aunt got married, she hadn't been born at all! ”

Ma Dali laughed when he heard it.
