When we returned to the gate of the hospital, we suddenly stood still.

The second brother entered the courtyard only to notice that I had not followed, and when he looked back, he saw me outside the iron gate like a pillar. "Did you step on the glue?" He asked me.

"I just found out that the door of our house finally has a color, amber, it's so beautiful!" What I'm saying is true, the old hut doesn't need to be mentioned, strictly speaking, it's a few boards, not even a door; Everything in the chalet is pure natural wood color; When I arrived at the green tile house, in order to save money, the door was not painted.

"Good eyes! Let's see what else to discover. The second brother sneered.

"The iron door is also painted, high-grade silver gray!" I noticed a creeper that was about to lose its leaves crawling from the fence on the left side of the mountain road, and said, "See, the creeper has climbed up the iron gate, and if you don't care about it, it will have to climb on your head." ”

"Don't worry! No creature in this world dares to climb on top of me except you. After the second brother finished speaking, he went straight into the house.

There were footsteps behind me, and when I looked back, I saw a boy of seven or eight years old, carrying a blue schoolbag wider than his back, climbing up from the slope without hurrying.

"Xiaohai?" I hadn't seen him since he was six months old, and for seven years, he was already a schoolboy.

"Auntie!" Xiao Hai walked forward, his eyebrows revealed a seriousness and calmness that was extremely inconsistent with his age, he looked at me with a puzzled expression and said, "How does my aunt recognize me?" Have you seen me before? ”

"I guessed! Why are other children's children running to our house? "I stared at Xiao Hai, and said in my heart, how can we not only meet! Don't look at his facial features, even his gestures are full of familiarity.

Xiao Hai suddenly became enlightened, and the little adult nodded: "That's right!" ”

I looked into Xiao Hai's eyes and asked, "Then how did you recognize me?" ”

Xiaohai replied seriously: "I have seen a photo of my aunt. ”

"Where's the picture?"

"In the uncle's mobile phone, there are a lot of photos of my aunt in the uncle's mobile phone."

I suddenly realized, every time my second brother went to Shen'an to see me, he would take a picture of me from time to time, I thought I was photogenic at first, but later I learned that it was at the request of the eldest brother, saying that I couldn't see my people, and it was good to look at the photos.

It's not a New Year's Day, but the meals on the table are unusually rich. My sister-in-law kept putting vegetables in my bowl, as if I hadn't eaten in three or five years.

"Sister-in-law, don't clamp it, I can't eat so much!" I gave the chicken leg clip to Xiaohai, "Come on!" Chicken thighs for Xiaohai! Otherwise, Xiaohai should hate her aunt and snatch your things as soon as she comes back! ”

Xiao Hai smiled and put the chicken leg back into my bowl and said, "Auntie, eat it!" My aunt is rarely a guest when she comes back, and besides, I don't like to eat chicken legs. ”

I sighed ashamedly and said, "Why do I think our Xiaohai is much more sensible than me?" ”

The second brother teased me: "It's a bit self-aware!" ”

I feigned anger and said, "Is it okay to give some face?" What's the matter, I'm also Xiaohai's aunt. ”

The second brother didn't answer when he ate by himself, and his sister-in-law smiled and said, "Don't keep talking, hurry up and eat!" Fifteen, you eat yours, don't care about Xiaohai, he has his mouth picked! If you don't eat this and that you don't eat, let him go! ”

I was stunned and looked at Xiaohai: "Is that so?" ”

Xiao Hai was a little embarrassed and said, "Not really! I just don't like to eat skin and offal, and I can't eat sour, spicy and bitter; Also, I don't like too many bones that are too hard. ”

I couldn't help but laugh, "'just', 'and' plus 'another'?" The five flavors of life are 'sweet and sour, bitter, spicy and salty', and you only eat sweet and salty? I subconsciously asked him again, "What about the eggs?" Do you eat eggs? ”

Xiao Hai replied while nibbling on ribs: "I like to eat eggs!" ”

"Do you like egg whites?"

"I didn't like egg yolks before, but then I learned that egg yolks are rich in vitamins and minerals, so I tried to eat them slowly, and although I still don't like them very much, I can accept them."

"Do you like eggs? Then again, you're a little better than your uncle, your uncle! Since I was a child, I have never eaten a bite of egg yolk. While talking, my sister-in-law put a plate of sauce in front of me across the dining table, "I was busy a while ago and didn't have time, so I didn't have time to make tofu, only bean paste." ”

"Huh? What? "I lost my mind for a moment, and I didn't hear my sister-in-law's words at all.

"What do you think?" The second brother knocked me on the head with chopsticks, "My sister-in-law said that there is no tofu at home, only bean paste." ”

"Okay, why are you beating her?" The eldest brother scolded the second brother.

"That's it! The gentleman doesn't move his hands, do you understand! I glared at my second brother, touched my head, and turned to my sister-in-law and said, "I'm sorry, sister-in-law!" It's all because the food you cook is so delicious that you can't take care of anything you eat! Then he added, "I like the bean paste too!" ”

"It's sweet in your mouth!" The sister-in-law scooped a bowl of chicken soup for Xiaohai, "I'll make more tofu in two days when the weather is better, by the way, did your second brother finish the food you brought over last time?" ”

I glanced at my second brother and said, "I didn't finish eating, but when I came back, I was in the box, and I was knocked down by a naughty child at the train station, and the bottle was broken, so I had to throw it away, which made me feel so distressed!" ”

Yingxiang said excitedly: "Isn't it just a bottle of tofu?" It's not anything valuable, how much do you want to eat, and my sister-in-law will cook for you! ”

"That's it! Anyway, my aunt will be at home in the future, and she will eat as much as she wants. Xiaohai said.

My sister-in-law looked at Xiaohai in surprise, looked at my eldest brother, and looked at me again. "Aren't you going to Shen'an?

I looked at Xiao Hai, and Xiao Hai answered for me: "If my aunt still goes to Shen'an, why do you want to bring back the uneaten tofu?" Am I right? ”

"That's right!" I smiled.

"Yes! I didn't think of it! The sister-in-law rubbed Xiaohai's hair and said lovingly, "Oops! Our son is so smart! ”

Xiao Hai tilted his head to the side and said unhappily, "Mom! Don't keep touching my head! ”

Yingxiang said twice: "This kid, why did your mother touch your head?" ”

"If he doesn't like it, don't touch him!" Big brother said.

"Good, good! Don't touch it, don't touch it! Don't mess with your son's clever head. My sister-in-law turned back to me and said, "Speaking of tofu milk, I don't dare to say anything else, in our Tao Town, except for Xiaohai's grandfather, I recognize your sister-in-law as the second, and no one dares to recognize the first." As he spoke, he bumped his elbow against his eldest brother, "Did you say?" ”

The eldest brother muttered while eating: "You say yes!" ”

"What do you mean by saying yes?" Yingxiang looked at me, "Look at your eldest brother, you can't say anything nice." ”

I took a sip of chicken soup, smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, what does the eldest brother mean that he agrees with you no matter what you say, is this not good?" ”

The sister-in-law savored it carefully, and suddenly smiled.
