Father Gu came back to his senses and smiled at the person in front of him, polite and polite: "Thank you Brother Chen for reminding me."
The man waved his hand and said you're welcome, and told them to come to him if they needed anything. Then he heard the voice of his mother-in-law calling him to go back to eat, and after saying a few words, he turned around and left.
Father Gu turned to look at his wife and children behind him, and softened his voice: "Let's go."
Mother Gu nodded and took Gu Peilang to follow behind him, but after taking two steps, Gu Peilang suddenly stopped.
Mother Gu looked back at him: "Baby, what's the matter?"
Gu Peilang didn't say a word, he just turned his head to look at the black and lonely little ball lying on the ground, a struggle flashed in his beautiful eyes.
Gu's mother followed his gaze and frowned slightly: "If you want, my mother will buy it for you later, okay? It's dirty and broken, and there must be a lot of bacteria on it."
Gu Peilang blinked, and suddenly a pair of big wet eyes flashed in front of him. He looked back at Mother Gu.
"Mother."
In the end, Gu's mother, who couldn't resist him, found her own cosmetic bag from the suitcase and put the ball in it.
Gu Peilang's chubby little hand was holding a beige strap, and showed a rare grateful smile at his mother.
"thanks Mom."
Mother Gu felt helpless for a while, she really didn't understand why her children were so interested in this ball.
In fact, not only did she not understand it, but even Gu Peilang himself didn't know it. He just subconsciously felt that this ball must be very important to that little girl. She should be sad.
If you see her next time, give it back to her. Gu Peilang thought to himself.
After arriving at the B&B, Gu Peilang even asked the boss for a brush, and squatted in front of the sink under the sun to brush it clean.
The deflated ball showed its original color, a watermelon rind.
On the evening of the third day, the little ball of watermelon rind waited for its little master.
At that time, Gu Peilang was wearing an army green shirt and breeches, sitting on a rattan chair under the vines in the yard, eating watermelon.
The chair is facing the gate, so that he can see it at a glance when Gu's father and mother come back. Behind the vines is an adult-high fence, which is covered with lush creeping tigers, and the leaves are green in the afterglow of the setting sun. There is a soft light.
Gu Peilang squinted his eyes and finished eating the watermelon on his hands, and carefully wiped off the remaining juice on his hands with a tissue. Just when he was about to eat another piece, a sound of "huahuahua" suddenly sounded behind him, like Something fell to the ground.
He lowered his head and saw a pile of chubby lotus seeds rolling around, many of which rolled to his feet.
Gu Peilang: "Huh?"
He put down the watermelon in his hand, got up and turned around, and saw a black girl in a floral skirt sitting on the high wall. The skirt was wrapped by her, and the lotus seeds inside kept falling out.
The little girl seemed to be at a loss for this accident, and her chicken feet thumped back and forth to make amends, but it didn't help much.
Gu Peilang looked up at her, the first thing that flashed in his mind was: How did she climb up
The little girl seemed to have noticed his sight, and lowered her gaze to meet him. A shyness flashed in her big wet eyes, and then she smiled cautiously at him.
Gu Peilang: "I remember you, are you here to find your little ball?"
As if she didn't know what he was talking about, the little girl tilted her head and thought for a while before nodding her head.
Gu Peilang: "Come down first, it's too dangerous up there, your ball is with me, I'll go get it for you."
The man on the wall looked down at the high ground, a little scared.
She was able to climb up because there was a crooked tree with a crooked neck outside the wall, and now, there was nothing inside the wall, she just jumped down like this, and she would definitely fall to her death.
Gu Peilang obviously also took this into consideration, he thought for a while, then turned around and took the ladder that the boss had put in to repair the light.
The seven-year-old boy blushed and dragged a ladder taller than him to the base of the wall. After supporting it, he looked at the person above.
Gu Peilang gasped and said, "Okay, come down."
The little girl stuck out one foot tremblingly, bit the skirt of her skirt in her mouth, grabbed the ladder tightly with both hands, and jumped down like a monkey in three or two strokes.
Gu Peilang below looked a little embarrassedly away, he just accidentally saw the other party's panties, blue, with a jingle cat printed on it...
"Well, wait a minute, I'll give you the little ball." Gu Peilang realized that she was much shorter than him when the little girl came to the front, and just reached his chest, those big eyes looked close, it was as dark as a The ink that I use to practice calligraphy is the same, but there are flashes of light in it, which looks very tight.
After Gu Peilang said this, he turned around and entered the room, and after a while, he came out with the washed little ball in his hand.
The little girl grinned and showed a big smile. Gu Peilang was infected by her smile, and he also curled the corners of his lips. He rarely took the initiative to introduce himself in front of people: "My name is Gu Peilang, what's your name?"
"My name is Xiaohua." The little girl's voice was crisp, but it was hoarse because she hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time. Gu Peilang frowned: "Are you thirsty? Here's a watermelon for you to eat."
Xiaohua stared blankly at the plump and juicy watermelon in his hand and swallowed.
"Thank you, brother," the child thanked obediently, but instead of reaching out to take it, he showed what was in the pocket of his skirt, "This is for you."
Gu Peilang looked down at the pile of lotus seeds, a little surprised: "This is for me?"
Xiaohua nodded, a thin red smeared on her dark face, and whispered: "Lotus seeds are delicious, I'll give them to you..."
"Thank you Xiaohua." Gu Peilang reached out to take it, and then let her sit down on the rattan chair next to her to eat watermelon, while he squatted on the ground and picked up the lotus seeds that had fallen earlier.
Xiaohua looked at him while eating.
Gu Peilang picked up the last one and raised his head: "Xiaohua, why are you staring at me all the time?"
"Brother is good-looking." Children's compliments are always straightforward and sincere. Gu Peilang didn't know what to say for a while, so out of politeness, he also praised: "Xiaohua is also good-looking."
Xiaohua first smiled shyly, then shook her head: "I'm not good-looking, I'm ugly."
The other children in the village didn't play with him, calling him ugly and water monkey.
"It's beautiful, Xiaohua's eyes are very beautiful." Gu Peilang was telling the truth. Although the child was as thin as beef jerky, those eyes were really beautiful.
Being praised by the good-looking brother, Xiaohua's smile became wider and wider.
The two children chatted while eating watermelon under the vine. Later, Gu Peilang learned that Xiaohua's surname was Chen. She had lived with her grandparents since she was a child. Her grandparents had to do farm work every day, and she could only play by herself.
Gu Peilang felt a little distressed for this child who was three years younger than him, and shoved all the imported snacks he brought over to her.
When it was getting dark, the other party said that he was afraid that his grandparents would be worried and wanted to go back.
Gu Peilang sent the person out the door, the child looked up at him under the moonlight, his eyes full of stars.
"Good-looking brother, can I still come and play with you in the future?"
Gu Peilang thought that they would stay here for a long time, and nodded in agreement.
The child grinned happily and turned away contentedly.
Since then, the two children have been playing together. Gu Peilang is cold-hearted. He usually ignores everyone except his parents. Alienation and indifference, but when facing Chen Xiaohua, this invisible vacuum cover seemed to disappear.
Some children in the village saw that Chen Xiaohua, whom they hated, could play with each other, so they couldn't help but want to go forward, but before they could get close to the door of the homestay, they were scared away by Gu Peilang's cold eyes.
Gu Peilang's family of three stayed in this quiet and simple village for half a month, and it was not until Father Gu received a call from Gu's house that he decided to end the vacation and go back.
When Chen Xiaohua came over with the lotus still soaked in dew, she saw the beautiful aunt and handsome uncle packing their luggage, Gu Peilang in a small blue suit, sitting beside the bed with a sullen face and saying nothing, when he looked up, he saw him After he came, the expression on his face became a little better.
"Xiaohua, are you here?"
Chen Xiaohua stood outside the door, looking at the scattered luggage on the ground, a hint of unease rose in her big deer-like eyes, she subconsciously hugged the flower in her arms.
"Good-looking brother..."
"It's a mess here, let's go out and talk." Gu Peilang stepped forward and held her hand, and the two children went out together.
In the yard, the early morning sun was shining softly on the two of them. Gu Peilang looked at the children who were usually like a bunny in front of him, but now a lot of them were wilted. For a while, he didn't know how to speak.
"Good-looking brother, are you leaving?" In the end, Chen Xiaohua spoke first. She looked up at the overly good-looking boy in front of her, and there were faint tears in her eyes.
Gu Peilang's throat was a little blocked, but he still nodded: "Well..."
Chen Xiaohua grinned, her smile a little ugly: "Oh... I know, grandma said that you are here on vacation, and the vacation is to go home... "
"Little flower..."
"Fortunately," Chen Xiaohua smiled, stuffing the pink lotus flower in Gu Peilang's arms, looking at him and said, "This is the flower I picked from Uncle Chen's pond, the largest and most beautiful, I will give it to you. Brother, take it back, you will think of me when you see it!"
"Thank you Xiaohua, I like it very much." Gu Peilang looked down at the petals in his arms, his expression became gentle, and even his voice was soft.
The golden sunlight hit his face, Chen Xiaohua was fascinated, and when she came back to her senses, she had already stood on tiptoe and chirped on the person's face.
Gu Peilang: "!!!"
Chen Xiaohua looked at the boy's shocked appearance and smiled shyly, but her big eyes were still flickering at each other, and she whispered: "Good-looking brother, you are so beautiful, I have grown up, can I marry you? "
Gu Peilang was really startled, and the whole person was a little dazed after that, until he went to the toilet to drain the water and saw the little girl who was staring at him by the door, the whole person suddenly recovered, and then, a beating speeded up. The heart can never regain its peace.
Gu's father and Gu's mother moved quickly, and it didn't take long for all the luggage to be packed. Gu Peilang followed behind them, and the little tail behind him stood in front of the homestay and did not step forward.
Before getting into the car, Gu Peilang couldn't help but look back.
The scrawny child stood by the door, his body almost as thin as the crack in the door, his big eyes staring in this direction, his face full of reluctance.
Gu Peilang's heart seemed to have been hammered suddenly, he turned around and ran back.
Chen Xiaohua couldn't help but smile when she looked at the person running towards her.
"Good-looking brother!"
"Xiaohua, this is for you." Gu Peilang took off the amulet hanging around his neck and put it on for her, and finally hugged her gently.
Chen Xiaohua smelled the sunshine on the boy's body, and her eyes suddenly turned red: "Good-looking brother, I have given you all my kisses, will you marry me as a bride..."
Gu Peilang hugged her and didn't say anything until he got into the car, the figure in the rearview mirror became smaller and smaller and disappeared completely, and he didn't say the word "good".
On the way home, Gu Peilang was unhappy all the way. After thinking about it, he still told his mother what happened, but subconsciously withdrew the kiss that made his heart beat faster.
Although Gu's father and Gu's mother were curious that their seven-year-old son would be troubled by the words of a four-year-old child, he patiently enlightened him and gave him advice.
In the end, Gu Peilang, who had listened to his parents' advice and his own voice, made a solemn decision: he wanted to marry Chen Xiaohua as his bride.
When he grows up, he will come to marry her, that amulet... just take it as a token of love. Gu Peilang's mood brightened a lot when he thought about it like this.
Gu Peilang, who had left Hehua Village, didn't know that just after he left, a group of children who hated Chen Xiaohua jumped out from behind the wall. They saw what Gu Peilang gave her, and they rushed up, ignoring Chen Xiaohua struggled to resist, and forcibly tore the transparent and round Guanyin jade pendant from the person's neck.
That's it, it's not over yet, they always remembered Gu Peilang's attitude towards them before, and they were so angry that Gu Peilang and the others didn't dare to provoke them. Now that they're gone, they can only put all their anger on them. on Chen Xiaohua.
A group of half-old children were clamoring for her to look good and let her know how powerful they were, and then they stripped her naked in front of the hotel.
The same body structure as the boys made these children dumbfounded. After they recovered, they exploded. They didn't expect that Chen Xiaohua, who was wearing a floral dress, was a man.
From that day on, Chen Xiaohua, whose biological father is unknown and whose mother does not want, has a new nickname after "Water Monkey" and "Ugly Eight Monsters": Little Pervert, Sissy.
