Mao Mao in Gao Ping's eyes, I feel that this child is undereducated, and I usually listen to Xiu'e's nagging, in short, the impression is not very good, and Mao Mao is also sensible, and you can't use excessive words to hurt the child's heart when you first meet, after all, the two families still have old relatives, and the conditions of his family are special, and he has no hope for Mao Mao, nor is it as strict as Gao Qiqi and Gao Gao, and he must be admitted to school, so he is only superficial enthusiasm for Mao Mao, and Uncle Gao can see the clues.

In the evening, Uncle Gao was waiting at the door and hurriedly greeted Xiu'e when he came back, and pointed Xiu'e aside with a serious face and said:

"Xiu'e - Mao Mao came to see me from afar, and his attitude towards the baby was better, no matter what contradictions there were before, don't take it to heart, after all, he is an ignorant little baby." Uncle Gao said in a deep voice with extreme seriousness: "You can't hurt the baby's heart." ”

"Ahh Hehehe, I know, my uncle. Xiu'e walked into the house with Uncle Gao in her arms, and when she saw Mao Mao, she was very surprised, and said with a smile: "Huh? Maomao is coming? Sit down, and my aunt will cook for you. ”

"Auntie is back?"

"Hmm- sit down, play with Gao-"

Xiu'e felt awkward and extremely uncomfortable when she saw her enemy, and that disgust would inevitably pass a trace on her face. But when she saw Uncle Gao's expectant eyes, she hurriedly put on a smile on her face, and smiled at Mao Mao, as if the previous unhappiness had been resolved in this way, and it seemed that it had never happened at all.

"Eat-" At the not very rich dinner table, Xiu'e kept putting vegetables in the Maomao bowl, and Uncle Gao had an indescribable taste in his heart.

"Maomao-hum-hum" Xiu'e sneered, glanced at Gao Ping again, and went into the kitchen to wash, while talking: "You have to go to school hard, and when you graduate from college, let your uncle find you a good job to work, look how good it is here, it's lively, eat well, and dress well." Xiu'e said this sentence with a sarcastic tone, and Uncle Gao felt very uncomfortable, so he glanced at Xiu'e.

"That also depends on Maomao's real learning." Gao Ping continued tepidly: "Can't go to school in the exam? Then I don't have any way, besides, I have to go straight and do the right thing. ”

Mao Mao's face was hot when she heard Gao Ping's words, and she felt very uncomfortable.

At night, the light bulb was bright and dazzling, Gao Gao and Mao Mao slept together, and the two of them had endless words to talk about.

"Hurry up and go to bed, Gao Gao has to go to school in the morning." Xiu'e walked in, turned off the light very reluctantly, and tiptoed out.

Gao Gao got up early to go to school, and when Mao Mao woke up, he saw that it was already more than nine o'clock in the morning, he hurriedly got dressed, and saw Uncle Gao waiting for him in the outhouse.

"Hurry up and eat Maomao, it's getting cold." Uncle Gao took the cage off the table and said, "Eat—stay here for a few days, and look around." ”

"Don't look at it, grandpa, I have to go back quickly." Mao Mao took a big bite and answered Uncle Gao's question: "Sansheng, I still have to go to the musical instrument store and buy an erhu for Sansheng." ”

"You know? It's deep in it, so it's better to call an expert to take a look. Uncle Gao took out a cigarette and lit it, took a puff, and then said, "Your Uncle Ping, they will come back at noon, ask, and see if there are any acquaintances who understand." Don't leave yet, talk to grandpa. ”

Mao Mao left, Uncle Gao reluctantly sent it to the station, waved his hand and said, "Mao Mao remembers to come to see grandpa often." ”

"Remember, go back—grandpa—"

With Gao Ping's help, an acquaintance of the Yu Opera Troupe brought an old erhu, although it was old, all parts were replaced with new ones. It was packed in a long cloth bag and a string on its back.

Mao Mao just bought two baked cakes, didn't care about eating, like a cheerful bird, and hurried to the house.

When he got tired of running, he sat down to rest. Then, I couldn't help but open my satchel and looked at it one by one, and my eyes lit up with fifteen yuan and fifteen catties of food stamps wrapped in tall old clothes; He hurriedly flipped through it again, and found five yuan and a note from the compartment of his satchel:

"Maomao wants to go to school! Learning is the only way out. Let's do it together! Come on!! You have to rely on yourself on the road of life in the future. High. ”

Mao Mao couldn't help but burst into tears when he saw these, facing the mountains, he was moved to cry loudly, the unspeakable grievances in his heart, remembering the hardships he had suffered since childhood, and now there are Uncle Gao, Gao Gao and their relatives pulling out the sad tears like a spring, Mao Mao walked on the mountain road step by step, and his mood was extremely heavy.

In the evening, he rushed to his hometown, Sansheng and Liangliang were already waiting anxiously at the entrance of the village, seeing Mao Mao back, he ran up impatiently, Sansheng took the erhu bag and sat on the ground, hurriedly opened, Nanmu Erhu, which had been debugged, lifted it very heavy, it was a good erhu, and there were six packs of steel strings, Sansheng was ecstatic, he quickly got up, and carefully installed it.

"You're thinking too thoughtfully, this erhu costs a lot of money, right?" Sansheng looked at Mao Mao very gratefully: "How much?" I'll pay you back later. ”

"You don't have to pay it back, you didn't pay for this erhu?"

"This ...... Brother Mao, we can't steal ...... anymore."

"you, you you dog can't spit ivory out of his mouth." Liang Liang tilted his head, pushed Sansheng and said, "Brother Mao Mao is rich - do you look at people with your ass and eyes?" ”

"Give—this is the money you gave me to sell my erhu." Mao Mao took out twenty yuan from his arms and handed it to the three saints, the three saints took the money suspiciously, looked at Mao Mao's face in confusion, and asked, "This, what the hell is going on?" ”

"This is Gao Gao's father knows the head of the Yu Opera Troupe, and he didn't ask for a penny for it." Mao Mao said to the three saints word by word: "It's still your money, take it-the head of the troupe also said that if you pull it well, you will be asked to go to the troupe to pull it, and I heard Uncle Gao say that you can earn wages in that way." ”

"That, that, that, the Three Saints still have my money here." The three saints took out ten yuan and handed it to Liang Liang and said, "Give it, catch it—I know that there is you, and I see that it scares you." ”

Liang Liang hesitantly took the money and looked at the three saints in surprise and pouted, "This, this, this is too much, right?" Ten bucks. ”

"Not much, take it, brave the cold and crawl with me in the field to cut sedges and pick up bad dried sweet potatoes." The three saints said to Liang Liang very generously: "We are brothers-"

"Brother Maomao, you can take the ten yuan, it's hard work." The three saints forcibly stuffed the money to Mao Mao.

"You take this money, where you can use it, I have money." Mao Mao said sincerely, suddenly remembered, lifted the satchel and stuffed it to Liangliang: "Hey-that's right, give Liangliang a little bit of a villain." ”

"Great, Brother Mao Mao thought too thoroughly, hahaha-" Liang Liang danced happily while holding the villain book.

"What did you just say? Troupe? The Three Saints woke up and asked.

"Yes, if you pull well, you have the opportunity to go to the troupe." Mao Mao emphasized again: "Grandpa said it." ”

"Let's go, let's go to the Three Sages' house first to see what the Erhu of the Three Sages looks like." They happily walked towards the Sansheng family, but in fact, Mao Mao was not interested in erhu at all, and even a little disgusted.

When the villagers heard that Mao Mao had bought the Erhu of the Three Sages, they all walked over to this side. As they walked, they discussed:

"Maomao, this baby is sensible, and I bought an erhu for Sansheng."

"How much does it cost?"

"I heard that the three saints also saved some money, and Maomao paid some more in advance."

"What a bunch of babies! Unity, all righteous, unlike our generation. ”

"That's it, our generation, one is more stingy than the door."

"You know fart, I was much poorer than I am now, and I want to pick up beans when I fart." They laughed and soon filled the courtyard of the Three Holy Families.

"Huh, you troublemaker, you really bought it back?" The three saints were shocked, hurriedly walked out of the stove room, strained their faces, stomped their feet, and pointed at the three saints and shouted: "You rabbit cub, see if your father doesn't kill you this time?" How much does it cost? ”

“……。” Mao Mao walked over with a smile and muttered in the ear of the Three Holy Niang, and the Three Holy Niang leaned close to the ear and laughed.

"Mao Mao went to the city this time, did you Aunt Xiu'e yell at you?" While busy cooking in the stove room, the three saints smiled and teased Mao Mao and said, "Xiu'e-knife mouth tofu heart." How about treating you this time? You Xiu'e aunt - I'm in a hurry to go back to the city, why is the city much better than our countryside, right? ”

"Well, I can't believe it, I made a lot of delicious ......"

"Don't shout, don't shout, the three saints will start playing a song for everyone." Liang Liang saw that the three saints tuned the strings well, and they were very serious about maintaining order, and the villagers were also very cooperative to calm down.

"Three saints, pull the cow first?"

"Hahaha-" "Hahaha-" "Hahaha-" ....... Liang Liang has everyone off again!

"Maomao, come here, my aunt has something to say to you." The three saints were very mysterious, waving their hands to let Mao Mao walk over.

At this time, the melodious erhu began to .......

Since then, on the hills near this mountain village, I often see a shepherd and a flock of snow-white sheep, whether it is a beautiful wind or rain, you can hear the beautiful and graceful erhu performance.
