"Don't cry." Xiao Yu'an picked up the roll of paper on the bedside table, tugged a lot at once, wiped the back of his hands clean, and then tugged a bunch again for Mingshu to wipe his face.

Mingshu didn't move, just let him play with it, those round eyes looked at him the whole time without blinking.

When Xiao Yuan took Mingshu down from the tree, he found that Mingshu's eyelashes were long and curled up, like a doll. This time when I cry, I feel more like a doll. Xiao Yu'an wiped Mingshu's face clean, helped blow his nose for the first time, threw away the wet paper, and said casually, "Did your mother cut your eyes when you were first born? "

When Xiao Jincheng was still a baby, the aunt told him and Xiao Muting that when you were born, I wanted to cut your eye hair. The new ones will be long and curly, and they are very good-looking, but both the eldest and the second are not allowed. Speaking of boys, why do they have such curly hair on their eyes

After speaking, the little aunt moved her thoughts on Xiao Jincheng, and said mysteriously, why don't you go and give me a favor, we will cut Jincheng's eye hair

The little aunt failed in the end, the uncle came back and did not let the little aunt do it.

Xiao Yu'an was very impressed by this matter. Mingshu's eyes were long and curly, so they should have been cut.

"Ah?" Hearing this, Mingshu raised his hand to touch his eyelashes, looking a little lost, and his voice was quiet, "No."

No, no, Xiao Yuan doesn't know why he buried his head again, the child's mind is really hard to guess.

Then Mingshu said, "My mother doesn't like me. She has never hugged me or come back to see me. She won't cut my eyes."

When he heard Mingshu's words, Xiao Yu'an felt that Mingshu's displeasure was about to congeal into a solid body, and it was lit by clouds and smoke on the hospital bed. After a few seconds, the fog still lingers.

Xiao Yuan hugged Mingshu and patted his back, "Your mother must be very busy, so she won't come to see you if she doesn't have time."

This is really not just talking about fooling children. Xiao Yuan's mother is a busy person, and he visits him less often than his father. This time, he went to grandpa's house to pick him up, and his mother did not show a single shadow. But as long as the mother has time, she will come to accompany him and Xiao Jinlan and take the four children out for a drive.

He felt that Mingshu's mother couldn't come back because she was too busy.

Mingshu was silent in his arms, as if he was comforted. He won't talk about this topic anymore. He really doesn't understand what the Ming family is like. He will ask his grandfather later.

Ming Shu's grandfather Ming Han came back and saw the beads on Ming Shu's wrist, his face stern. Mingshu was frightened, and quickly hid his hands behind him.

Xiao Yuan stood up and explained that it was brought back from the sea by himself. It was not worth much, and there were children in the compound. Mr. Ming nodded, said thank you, and said that children don't need to wear fancy things, and they don't need to give them away next time.

Xiao Yuan said yes on the face, very polite, but he was very resistant. Ming Han has seen many old-fashioned old men like this, so he's not afraid. In fact, most of the elderly cadres in the compound are like Ming Han, but only a few are like his grandfather all day long. He never found those old-fashioned old men annoyed. He greeted them politely when they saw them, and bowed occasionally. This was the first time he felt disgusted with the other party.

The source of the emotion is Mingshu, a child who is not very familiar with him.

Mingshu still put his hands behind his back, and his eyes were quite frightening at first glance. Xiao Yu'an could see that Ming Shu was afraid that Mr. Ming would ask him to take off the string.

The child's chest was bulging, and he made a whimpering sound, which was very light and stuffy. It was not the kind of squeamish voice he had heard before, it was simply fear.

The balance in Xiao Yu'an's heart shifted a lot to Mingshu again.

Mingshu glanced at his grandfather, and moved his butt to the bed until it stuck to Xiao Yu'an's arm, hiding it uselessly.

This matter didn't develop to a bad point, Ming Han is old-fashioned, and the old-fashioned person has a characteristic, good face, pays attention to family ugliness, and does not teach children in front of outsiders. Ming Shu's receiving gifts is not a shame, so Ming Han said a few words and then passed.

The doctor came to take a look soon, and explained that he can go back tonight and come back tomorrow morning, but it is recommended to stay in the hospital for one night.

Minghan decided to let Mingshu stay for one night, and Xiao Yuan stayed in the ward until more than 4 o'clock, and was ready to leave. Mingshu held his fingers, reluctantly.

The gift and the cry in the afternoon brought them closer together. Xiao Yu'an always felt that Mingshu was clingy and charming, but now he feels that Mingshu is like a piece of candy that can't be torn off. He is not Mingshu's relative, so he can't stay here with the bed, he has to go back to eat, and make an appointment with Xiao Muting to play badminton at night.

Mingshu leaned on him again, wrapped his arms around his waist and stared at him from below.

In the Chinese class, the teacher reads excellent compositions, and someone who writes can speak with their eyes. At that time, he thought that this description was a bit ridiculous. The eyes can speak, the eyes can speak, so what is the mouth for

But now he felt that the classmate was right. Some people's eyes can really speak. Isn't Mingshu just saying - brother, don't you want to go back

But he was used to Mingshu for an afternoon, the gifts were given, and the paper gun agreed to do it together. Xiao Jincheng had told several jokes, and he had never coaxed people like this before. He has to go.

Mingshu hugged for a while and let go. He felt that his brother seemed a little unhappy.

"Brother, can I come and play with you tomorrow?" asked cautiously.

Xiao Jinlan is going to take a piano class tomorrow, and Xiao Yuan is also going to follow the class to see and sign up for a suitable interest class.

"You're going to have an infusion tomorrow," he said.

"Then I don't lose tomorrow?"

"talk later."

Xiao Yuan was almost finished eating when he got home. Their house doesn't have those complicated rules, they open the meal on time, and they don't wait for anyone. When they come back late, they go to the kitchen to eat leftovers by themselves. It sounds a bit ruthless, but it's free. Xiao Jincheng usually eats leftovers, because he has no concept of time when he goes out. This time it was Xiao Yu'an's turn, and Xiao Jincheng was proud.

As the sun went down, the horizon followed the fire, and before the heat had faded from the earth, Xiao Muting was already urging him with a racket.

The compound holds a youth sports meeting every summer, which is quite a battle. Xiao Yu'an and Xiao Muting have been winning badminton doubles titles since three years ago, and this time they are also going for the championship.

When the two talk about this to others, they are very indifferent, but they are very sincere, and they have a strong will to win and lose, and they can't lose.

At the beginning of the fight, the fire was burning and the clouds were burning vigorously, and when the last bit of fighting was over, the sky was already full of stars. Because of Mingshu's incident, Xiao Yu'an was so suffocated today that he had nowhere to do it, so he just vented on the court. Xiao Muting was a little embarrassed by his smashing, and he also started to fight in the second half, until both sides were exhausted.

"Where did you go in the afternoon?" Xiao Muching asked while lying on the ground.

Xiao Yuan didn't answer, but asked someone else, "Have you ever seen a child who didn't get a gift for the first time until he was 5 years old?"

"Ah?" Xiao Muting sat up and thought for a while, "That child from the Ming family? Isn't that right?"

It was easier for them to communicate than with Xiao Jincheng, and they basically understood in a few words. Xiao Yu'an hummed, "His family is very strict."

"Then I should throw Xiao Jincheng over." Xiao Muting was so annoyed by his younger brother, "For Mingshu, come here."

Xiao Yuan smiled, "You shouldn't be happy if it's really changing."

The summer evening wind is blowing comfortably, and one or two mosquitoes are flying under the orange street lamps. The brothers went back when they had enough rest. The first thing they did when they got home was to open the refrigerator.

Xiao Muting took a mung bean paste, Xiao Yuan suddenly wanted to eat mint ice, but couldn't find it after searching for a long time.

He doesn't like peppermint ice very much, but he doesn't know what's wrong. He drank peppermint soda for swimming yesterday, and he wants to eat peppermint ice lolly after playing ball today.

"Here." Xiao Muting helped find the last mint ice, and said, "Don't you like eating this?"

He didn't explain, he tore it open and went to eat in the yard, and when he looked up, he saw the twinkling stars.

Mingshu is also looking at the stars. On the roof terrace of the hospital, the stars are very bright. He loved stars when he was younger, but now he has something more.

He looked at the stars for a while, and the bracelets for a while, touching them together with a smile.

The bracelet is prettier than the stars.

Brother is better than stars.
