There is a nursery next to the family area. Wen Ai was entrusted by An's father and An's mother, and stayed there for more than a month. She refused to go again no matter what she said, and ran to the opposite door to hide at Grandma Wang's house every day.
Grandma Wang was a widowed and lonely old man, and the house was deserted and deserted. She wished that the children would make trouble, so she told An's father and An's mother that she would help them take care of the children for free. Heaps of supplements.
There is also a little girl named Miao Miao in the family area. She is accompanied by her unemployed mother every day and has never stepped into the nursery. On weekdays, when other children went to school, Wen Ai and Miao Miao played together.
"Huh?" Miao Miao ran out of the unit, squatted next to Wen Ai who was playing with mud, and looked curiously at Yue Xiao behind him, "Yunyun, who is this?"
Wen Ai lowered his head and patted the mud house firmly, and said casually: "I don't know, who knows which one it belongs to."
"Oh." Miao Miao rolled up her sleeves and planned to make a clay figurine. While digging the mud on the ground, she looked up at Yue Xiao, "Hey, what's your name? Why haven't I seen you before?"
Yue Xiao glanced at Wen Ai first, and seeing that he didn't respond, he smiled politely at Miao Miao: "Hello, my name is Yue Xiao."
"My first name is Wu Sitian, and my nickname is Miao Miao." Miao Miao also smiled at him, "You can call me by my nickname."
The little girl Miao Miao was very cheerful, and invited Yue Xiao to build tanks with them. Yue Xiao didn't want Wen Ai to feel that he had robbed his friend, so he shook his head politely and declined, and stood silently watching them play.
Grandma Wang and Miao Miao's mother were sitting on a bench not far away and chatting, looking over here from time to time, in case some traffickers would coax the children away with sugar.
Wen Ai and Miao Miao, who are both tanks and fighter jets, built a whole team of armed forces. After having fun, they ran to the residents on the first floor and borrowed the faucet to wash their hands.
Yue Xiao has been following Wen Ai every step of the way, even though he didn't make a sound, he still annoyed Wen Ai.
"Are you a follower!" Wen Ai turned around and stared at Yue Xiao, folded his arms and complained, "Don't you think you're annoying to always be behind my ass?"
"I want to protect you." Yue Xiao looked at him seriously, then added after a pause, "Dad said so."
"Protection?" Wen Ai snorted, grabbed Yue Xiao's thin arm and shook it: "Just like you, I can hit ten of them."
The voice of a five or six-year-old child is very immature, Wen Ai is cute, and now he looks like a bragging baby, Yue Xiao was scolded by him, but he couldn't get angry at all, on the contrary, he still Feeling a sense of satisfaction, I secretly hope that my brother can talk to him more, even if it's like scolding him so delicately.
Wen Ai and Miao Miao walked around the flower bed to grab the lawsuit grass, and walked to the side of the canteen. A big wolfhound came out from nowhere, baring its mouth with a ferocious look, and the upper and lower rows of sharp fangs were dripping. Drooling, guessing that it only takes a "crack" to bite off the heads of these little bean dings.
The big wolf dog barked and rushed towards the three of them, Wen Ai yelled in fright, holding his hands tightly in front of his chest.
Yue Xiao was also afraid, but when he heard Wen Ai's cry, he automatically took a step forward, swept Wen Ai who was standing stupidly behind him, and stood straight in front to block the danger for him.
All this happened within a second, and the big wolf dog's figure flying in the air suddenly froze, and fell to the ground with a whimper.
Only now did Yue Xiao see the collar on the wolfdog's neck and the straight iron chain, he let out a sigh of relief, turned around and patted Wen Ai's back: "Don't be afraid, it's tied by a chain."
Wen Ai's face was pale, and her hands were still tightly grabbing Yue Xiao's clothes, unable to speak a word.
"Damn it, where did the dead dog come from!" Miao Miao's mother ran over and picked up her daughter who was sitting on the ground, walked around the big wolf dog, walked to the front of the canteen, and slapped hard on the counter, "Liu Datie! Are you bored?" What are you doing with such a vicious dog in silence! You want to scare someone to death!"
"I'm also afraid of being stolen!" Liu Datie came out from the back room and argued with her.
Grandma Wang rushed over slowly, and stuffed a candy into the mouths of Wen Ai and Yue Xiao: "Eat some sweets so that you won't be shocked."
The child was almost bitten by a dog, and the adults were shocked too. No one wanted to stay downstairs anymore. Grandma Wang led the two children upstairs.
An's father and An's mother heard about this after get off work, and they praised Yue Xiao vigorously at the dinner table, while Wen Ai was still putting on airs, her mouth was tightly pursed, but she didn't want to say thank you to him.
When going to sleep at night, An's mother closed the door after telling the story and left. Yue Xiao didn't intend to get kicked again, and consciously lifted the quilt to go to sleep on the desk. He propped up his upper body and sat up. Shoulders, pushed back, and his head returned to the pillow.
"You sleep here." Wen Ai turned his back to Yue Xiao, humming, "Just tonight."
When Yue Xiao was in the orphanage, two or three boys would squeeze into a small bed. In the first half of the night, they would meet head to toe, and in the second half of the night, it would be head to toe. wake up.
Now he is lying on a comfortable bed, next to his delicate little brother, the air he breathes is filled with the fragrance of milk from his brother.
This night, Yue Xiao slept very soundly.
Although Wen Ai let out his words, he still didn't kick Yue Xiao out of bed the next day.
It can be said that Yue Xiao risked being bitten by a dog in exchange for a bed permit from Wen Ai.
An's father and An's mother planned to let Wen Ai and Yue Xiao go to elementary school together in September, and in the middle half a year, they would be sent to the Children's Cultural Palace to attend interest classes to cultivate their sentiments.
In the painting class, the teacher gave each student a box of paints and asked them to freely develop a painting first.
Wen Ai held the fountain pen and smeared on the drawing paper. After all ten fingers were stained with different colors, he finally drew a naive puppy.
He triumphantly admired his masterpiece, then turned to look at Yue Xiao next to him.
Wen Ai stretched her eyelids and was stunned.
Yue Xiao's paintings are beautiful.
Two people sat side by side on the beach extending from the island. They looked at the blue sea in front of them. Where the sea and sky met, the golden-red sun was rising.
Wen Ai stared blankly at the painting. For a moment, he seemed to be sitting on the beach, breathing the salty air, waiting for the sunrise with the people around him.
It seems that there is still music lingering in my ears.
Yue Xiao's painting was taken away by the teacher, saying that it was for the students in other classes she brought to watch.
Wen Ai felt inexplicably uncomfortable, she didn't know if it was because the teacher praised Yue Xiao or because of the painting.
After returning home, Wen Ai yelled that she didn't want to learn to paint anymore, and she acted like a baby for a while, so An's father and An's mother had to go to the Cultural Palace again, asking for help to change the project.
The Cultural Palace was in tight demand, most of the classes were full, the teacher in charge coordinated, and finally inserted Wen Ai into the national standard dance class.
The dance teacher is a young woman who judges people first by face. As soon as Wen Ai entered the class, she was conquered by that innocent little face. In class, she took special care of Wen Ai.
Wen Ai received special treatment from the teacher, and naturally became interested in this class. The teacher said to cultivate a sense of music. After returning home, Wen Ai listened to music with the radio in his arms. The bedtime story was also cancelled, and the radio was put on the bedside. , listening to music to fall asleep.
It's just that his speed of falling asleep is too fast. Before a song is finished, he curls up in the bed and sleeps like a piglet.
The popular songs of the moment were still playing on the radio, Teresa Teng sang lyrically, while Yue Xiao listened quietly.
"I would like to go upstream and talk to her softly, but there are dangerous shoals ahead, and the road is full of twists and turns..."
Yue Xiao understood this lyrics so ignorantly, he turned over and looked at Wen Ai's sleeping back, his heart suddenly warmed—
If it was for his younger brother, he would also be willing to go upstream.
