After the children had left, Mr. Shi secretly crushed the sparrow to death and put it back in the cave. Then he wrote a couplet on the brick at the entrance of the cave: "The fine-feathered poultry died after the brick."
After class, Su Xiaorui wanted to take the little sparrow home to raise. He didn't expect that when he walked to the backyard, he saw the couplets on the bricks. At that time, his little face showed a look of astonishment.
After he took the brick away, he saw the little sparrow lying quietly inside, lifeless, it was horrible.
Su Xiaorui bit her lips tightly, clenched her fists secretly, angry and angry, her red face swelled into a bump.
He immediately carved the next line with a small stone: "Mr. Shi, the Rough-haired Beast."
Mr. Shi came over at this time, and when he saw the couplet, he was very annoyed: "Su Xiaorui, why did you insult Mr.?"
Su Xiaorui tilted his head, his bright black eyes flickered slightly, and he replied calmly: "I followed Mr.'s first couplet to continue the second couplet. Please see, thick to thin, hair to feather, wild to home , Beasts versus birds, stones versus bricks, first versus second, life versus death. Is this right, sir, please advise.”
Mr. Shi stared at the child in front of him with staring eyes and blowing his beard. He couldn't answer for a while, and walked away.
Seeing that Mr. Su left, Su Xiaorui was holding the little sparrow in both hands, his eyes were a little wet, and he looked extremely sad.
He buried the little sparrow well, and set up a grave for it: "I'm sorry, little sparrow, I didn't take good care of you."
After Su Xiaorui buried the little sparrow, he went home dejectedly.
His family lives at the foot of a mountain, which is a beautiful manor to be precise. The environment here is picturesque, with fresh air and close to a natural hot spring.
There are many fruits and vegetables planted in the manor, and after entering, there is a unique small courtyard, which was designed and built by Su Ying himself.
Although the yard is not big, the layout inside is very delicate and complete.
A pond was dug directly opposite the door, and many lotus flowers were planted in it, which were in full bloom.
A small pavilion was built in the center of the pond, as if spreading its wings to fly. At this moment, Su Ying was wearing a loose robe, lazily lying on the rocking chair with her eyes closed, and a book was casually hanging by her hand.
On the table in front of her were some freshly picked fruits and a plate of desserts she made herself.
When Su Xiaorui passed the small bridge, he saw his mother, and a smile appeared on his sad face.
Su Xiaorui rushed over quickly, threw his hands on Su Ying's body, and said softly, "Mother!"
Su Ying didn't speak, just let Su Xiaorui lay on her body, the chair shook slightly.
Seeing that Su Ying ignored her, Su Xiaorui raised her face slightly, pouted her rosy mouth, and looked at her innocently: "Mother, why are you ignoring Rui'er?"
Su Ying sat up, scratched his nose with her hands, and called him by name: "Su Xiaorui, did you do anything wrong today?"
Su Xiaorui's breathing stagnated slightly: "No! I'm very good today!"
"However, someone came to complain to mother again today."
The eyes under Su Xiaorui's long eyelashes lowered slightly, he raised his head and glanced at Su Ying cautiously, seeing her stern face, he lowered his head again.
Mr. Shi came to sue his mother again, is mother angry
Su Xiaorui was very disturbed, he was not afraid of anything, but he was most afraid of his mother, and also most afraid of her being angry.
Su Xiaorui didn't speak, and Su Ying didn't speak either.
For a moment, there was silence in the air.
After a while, Su Xiaorui flattened his mouth, his eyes turned red, and he looked very pitiful: "Mother, it was my husband who killed my sparrow... I can't be more angry!"
Su Ying stretched out her hands to hold his cheeks, and looked into his eyes: "Did you skip class first to make your husband angry first?"
Su Xiaorui avoided his eyes with some guilt, and hesitated: "I know what you said, sir..."
Su Ying's slender eyebrows raised slightly, with a hint of anger in her eyes: "So?"
"Mother, I was wrong..." Xiao Baozi immediately began to admit his mistake, and he rubbed his little head back and forth in her arms.
Su Ying sighed helplessly when she saw this little bun, because she was spoiled by herself.
But every time she saw him acting like a baby, she couldn't bear to criticize him at all. She picked up his collar and sighed: "Okay, do you remember what mother said to you last time?" Remember?"
"Remember." Su Xiaorui stood up obediently, "Mother said that if someone comes to complain, I won't be allowed to eat dinner, and I will be punished to stand for an hour automatically."
"Ok."
Su Xiaorui walked over and stood against the wall, his eyes narrowed into a line, does this mean that he has passed the test!
Seeing Su Xiaorui's small back, Su Ying tried her best to straighten her back, and the smile on her lips pursed little by little.
It was getting dark, and Hongbo came over. She saw Su Xiaorui standing against the wall, and a hint of distress flashed in her eyes: "Miss, the young master must be hungry after a day of school, let him eat quickly."
Su Ying didn't respond.
Su Xiaorui said firmly: "I won't eat."
When he said this, his stomach grumbled, but he was really hungry.
Hong Bo glanced at Su Ying: "Miss, the young master is still growing..."
Su Ying glanced at Hong Bo, Hong Bo paused, she saw Su Ying blinking at her, and she immediately understood.
Su Ying stood up: "What did you cook tonight?"
"Tonight, I will have my young master's favorite food, fried corn, sweet and sour pork ribs, and stewed tofu with crucian carp..."
Su Xiaorui swallowed, it was really his favorite food.
Seeing him swallowing his saliva from behind, Su Ying couldn't help grinning her lips, and said deliberately: "There are so many delicious foods, but Rui'er won't be able to eat them tonight."
Su Xiaorui frowned, feeling very sad, his fried corn, his sweet and sour pork... really want to eat.
There was no movement behind him, mother left, Hongbo left, and they went to eat...
Well, there was another grunt in my stomach...
Su Xiaorui's small face was wrinkled into a ball.
After a while, Hongbo came over with a food box: "Young master, it's an hour."
When Su Xiaorui turned around, he saw Hongbo was arranging delicious dishes on the small table, which were his favorite.
Hong Bo waved at him: "Young Master, come and eat quickly, the food will be cold later."
Su Xiaorui looked eagerly at the food on the small table, and then glanced at the room from afar.
Hong Bo whispered: "Miss is taking a bath, I don't know, come and eat."
Su Xiaorui wanted to be strong enough not to eat, but in the end he couldn't help being hungry and started to gobble it up.
Hongbo couldn't help laughing, and scooped him a bowl of soup: "Slow down, slow down... let's drink some soup."
