When talking in the group at night, Tao Huainan didn't think that these students would really come, so when they arrived at the entrance of the village and called them to come out to pick them up, Tao Huainan was really taken aback.
A total of five idlers and scum brothers headed by Ji Nan Shi Kai were sent here by Ji Nan's driver in a seven-seater business car.
Tao Huainan was eating with Chi Cheng in the kitchen hut at that time. Uncle Huang and Aunt Huang made a small stove to prevent them from eating the cook's cooking. It was all for the tenants, and what they ate was made by Aunt Huang.
Uncle Huang used the stove to cook pigeons and baked buns, and Tao Huainan was squatting next to the stove and eating them. The outermost layer was scorched black, Tao Huainan's hands were all black, and the mouth was also smacked.
Chi Cheng took a small bench from outside and came in. Seeing Tao Huainan eating so dirty, he laughed at him: "Like a mud monkey."
Tao Huainan didn't care, touched the thickest piece of meat on his chest, tore off a long strip, raised his hand and handed it to Chi Cheng's mouth: "Wow, it smells so good."
Chi Cheng bent over and took it away, and put the small bench next to Tao Huainan, letting him sit and eat.
Aunt Huang also stewed a river fish. Yesterday, someone in the village went to dig a hole in the ice to catch fish. Uncle Huang also got some back, and picked the biggest one to stew for them. At this time, it is difficult to get live fish, especially such a big one, which has been nesting under the ice for the winter, and is fresh and fat. Tao Huainan smelled the smell of fish coming out of the cauldron on the stove, while tearing up the pigeons to eat.
Uncle Huang and Aunt Huang like him very much. The two elderly people have Brother Huang and his son. Brother Huang's girl is still young. She has to go to various make-up classes, dance classes, and art classes during the holidays. She can't come back twice a year. It is rare to have two children at home. Although they are a little older, they are still children in the eyes of the elderly.
The child chatted with Aunt Huang while eating, and when the phone called, their hands were so dirty that they couldn't answer it. Before they answered, they called Chi Cheng's again.
Tao Huainan couldn't go out to pick up people after eating like this, so Chi Cheng went by himself. When people came, Tao Huainan had already washed, his hands and face were clean, and he hadn't had time to wipe it off with water.
"You guys are too good at running on time, aren't you?" Tao Huainan said, shaking the water in his hand.
"Wipe it dry quickly, and it will get cracked later." Aunt Huang hurriedly handed over paper for Tao Huainan to wipe, "Your skin is tender, don't take water out of the house."
Uncle Huang went to arrange rooms for the children, and passed by the kitchen to say hello to Tao Huainan.
A sharp-eyed man saw food by the stove and asked Tao Huainan, "What did Xiao Huainan steal?"
Chi Cheng came over and wiped off the drops of water on Tao Huainan's chin, Tao Huainan said, "That's too much."
A group of boys rushed to eat two pigeons before they even went to the room.
"I ate them all!" Tao Huainan turned his head and complained in the direction of Chi Cheng.
Uncle Huang laughed and said, "I'll burn it for you later."
Tao Huainan intentionally wronged and chirped and said to Chi Cheng: "I left the ones for you, I tore up all the bad ones, and the rest were the legs and breasts, all for you. They were all robbed Come on, look at them."
Chi Cheng said, "It's okay."
"Look at what he picks," Ji Nan said, "he picks fine."
Tao Huainan ignored them, and leaned into Chicheng's ear and said, "I even hid a little quail for you inside."
Aunt Huang helped him hide it just now, and wrapped it in tin foil. There was a smile in Chi Cheng's eyes, and Tao Huainan teased him and squeezed his face.
Either Tao Huainan was really picky, or he was having trouble with his classmates, and he became playful. The little quail that was hidden last was also robbed, and Tao Huainan died of anger.
A group of high school boys are like bandits and gangsters, grabbing whatever they see. The big fish stewed by Aunt Huang's small stove is definitely not enough for them to eat. A river fish weighing nearly ten catties can be shared among them. None left.
A big fish has no small thorns, so Tao Huainan can eat it with fish soup dipped in cakes. The other dishes couldn't stand up to grabbing. Uncle Huang and Aunt Huang were shocked by this battle. It seemed like they couldn't eat enough.
When the news spread to the store, Brother Huang and Tao Xiaodong both laughed.
"Xiao Nan is very popular now, there are a bunch of little brothers here." Brother Huang said.
Tao Xiaodong was making a picture for someone, and said while walking the needle: "Anyway, Xiao Chi won't fight now."
"I should have sent them there a long time ago. The old man and the old lady are so rare. There are such a group of children here, and it looks like a lot of fun." A young tattooist walked past the two of them and flicked Brother Huang on the head. In a daze, Brother Huang kicked him, and said, "The old man explained the whole sheep, and roasted half and half for them."
"It's annoying to think about it," Tao Xiaodong said with a smile, "This is really finding something for uncle. The two of them are enough. This is a small gang, and such a big one can make a big difference."
"Go ahead, no one will make trouble if you want to, it's too busy."
The two of them are like brothers, so there is no need to say heretic words, if you talk too much, you will go far. Originally, letting them go out was to make them happy, so the happier the better.
Originally Tao Huainan was very happy when Chi Cheng took him out for a stroll every day, but suddenly a group of troublesome people followed him, and he couldn't say a lot of things, and he couldn't do a lot of things.
In the evening, Tao Huainan was going to take a bath. Every day after taking a shower, he would slip into the hot bed, not to mention the comfort. Chi Cheng asked him to wash first, while Tao Huainan waited dawdly.
When Chi Cheng finally cleaned up and was ready to wash, Tao Huainan walked to the bathroom with his pajamas and pajamas in his hand.
"Hurry up, hurry up..."
Tao Huainan was taken aback when the door was suddenly pushed open, and the person at the door poked his head in and said, "Brother Chi? Can you use the charger for me?"
Ji Nan lives next door to them. There are two people in their room and three people in the other room. At this moment, Ji Nan came to pick up the charger, wearing nothing but a pair of shorts.
"Quickly freeze me to death!"
Chi Cheng went to get it for him, Tao Huainan stood at the door of the toilet and turned around and said, "Don't you remember to bring the charger when you go out?"
"Get out of the car." Shi Kai also came over and slipped around, with his arms around Jin Nan's neck, and Jin Nan continued, "Your house seems to be hotter than ours."
Chi Cheng came over and handed him the charger. He must have taken off his coat in the room. At this moment, Chi Cheng was only wearing a T-shirt and was going to take a shower.
Ji Nan took it from him, looked up, and blurted out: "I can't rely on you but min..."
Shi Kai squeezed his neck and broke it, and said, "I'm dying from the cold, hurry up, you're so cold with your bare butt?"
"Don't you wear underpants?" Ji Nan was snatched away by Shi Kai, took a charger, and flicked the cable.
"Why didn't you lock the door?" Tao Huainan asked.
"It's unlocked if you don't sleep," Chi Cheng locked the door and walked over, "It's locked."
Tao Huainan patted on the light in the bathroom, got in and said, "Take a shower, come quickly."
The two of them used to huddle to take a bath, but now it's different, and now it's more fun to huddle and wash.
A group of bastards here have nothing else to do except eat, drink and have fun.
They play wilder than Tao Huainan, they are too naughty, they go crazy wherever they go. When Tao Huainan was dragged by Chi Cheng to skate slowly, he was afraid of being hit by them, so he quickly avoided when he heard that there were people nearby.
When Chi Cheng went to buy him soy milk, Tao Huainan didn't dare to stay where he was, and came over and dragged him away without knowing who owed him. So he dragged Chi Cheng's clothes behind and slid along to buy soy milk.
This day, the old man selling soy milk brought a child who looked like thirteen or fourteen years old.
Tao Huainan didn't know there was someone here at first, he squatted there too quietly. It wasn't until Tao Huainan was suddenly touched by someone's ankle that he uttered a short cry in fright.
Chi Cheng immediately turned his head to look at him, and saw Tao Huainan took two steps back in a panic.
"It's okay, don't be afraid," Chi Cheng grabbed his arm, "It's a child."
Tao Huainan nodded, "Yes", and said, "I just didn't hear it."
The old man handed him the soy milk, looked at the ground, and said calmly, "He can't make a sound."
"Ah..." Tao Huainan said a little apologetically, "Did I startle him too?"
Tao Huainan knelt down and made an apologetic gesture over there. If the blind and the deaf-mute do not use mobile phones, one can only use sign language and the other can speak.
"It's okay, I can't be scared," the old man gave them a second cup of soy milk, and poured it into a paper cup from a thermos with strong steam, "It's okay to be scared."
Tao Huainan blinked suspiciously, stood up, Chi Cheng took his hand, and squeezed his palm.
"You can't see either, can you?" The old man looked up at him without much emotion, and smiled, sweeping his chin downward, "You are better than him, he can't see or hear."
Tao Huainan opened his mouth, but was unable to make a sound for a long time.
Later, Tao Huainan squatted down again, and gently touched the child, touching the back of his chapped hand. The child withdrew his hands back, stretched them out again after a while, seemed to be curious, and seemed to be disturbing, and patted Tao Huainan's hand with a lot of strength, making a "snap".
Tao Huainan was led away, and he turned his head in the same direction several times.
Such a "blind and deaf person" Tao Huainan has only heard of it, but never encountered it. When he was taken by his elder brother to the hospital to see his eyes, a young couple sat in the doctor's consulting room and cried in despair, saying that their child was "blind and deaf".
At that time, the young mother cried and asked: "How can I raise him... Can he live after raising him? How can he live?"
The doctor advised them to be optimistic, the future is worth looking forward to.
"Future" is such an empty word, it is too ethereal.
At that time, Tao Huainan didn't understand, but Tao Huainan really felt touched by the dry and cracked hand he touched that day, and the sound of hitting his hand.
Later in the day he couldn't help but look that way.
That kid... how will he grow up
Chi Cheng came over and touched his head, Tao Huainan was wearing a ski cap on his head, he held Chi Cheng's hand, and felt so lucky for the first time.
If that child could also have good ears and be able to hear things, it would be much, much easier for him than it is now.
Tao Huainan gently touched his ear with the other hand.
That day, Ji Nan and the others bought all the old man's several pots of soy milk, and asked him to take the children home. The soy milk was left on the spot and distributed to others for free.
The child's walking posture is a little distorted, shoulders are slanted, and he shakes his arms after walking a few steps, his movements are strange and inconsistent. They all looked at Tao Huainan, who was also an invisible little boy, one who grew up happily and innocently, and the other who lived as if he had no soul. It seems that Tao Huainan is very lucky, at least he still has ears.
But among this group of people, it is ridiculous to say that Tao Huainan is lucky.
A boy came over and pinched Tao Huainan's ears, saying, "You are all little angels."
Tao Huainan smiled and said, "I think so too."
