Mingshu became a grandfather at a young age.

Cheng Yue and the others are half old and not young. They will be promoted to the sixth grade after the summer vacation. They are still children in the eyes of adults, but they don't think so themselves. , who called himself "your grandfather" did a lot of things.

Xiao Yu'an didn't say anything about "You Grandpa Xiao", but he was a squad leader anyway. There was a younger brother in his class who called him Master Xiao, so he reluctantly responded.

Ming Shu had never seen those movies that were so mad at the rivers and lakes, and when he heard Cheng Yue calling him grandpa, he quickly waved his hand, "I'm not grandpa, you called it wrong!"

With this group of 11-year-old boys, his voice was laughably soft. Cheng Yue immediately laughed and slapped his thighs, "Ouch, let me be darling! Which cub is this?"

Mingshu wanted to play with people, but he was used to being alone, and suddenly surrounded by a group of people, he was still afraid.

Afraid to find my brother.

His brother was right next to him, reaching out to circle him and protecting his chest. He turned his head to look at his brother, and put his heart back immediately.

Cheng Yue squatted down to tease Mingshu, and said deliberately, "Little grandpa."

He is quite tall and has dark skin. He shaved his hair every summer vacation, and now he has a layer of green stubble, which makes him look like a bad guy with his fierce facial features.

Mingshu hurriedly shrank back, his back was against his brother, his hand was still clutching his brother's fingers, and his chest vibrated slightly.

Xiao Yuan felt that he was going to hum or hum again soon.

"It's not the little grandpa." Mingshu didn't realize that he had grabbed his brother's hand, and retorted in a low voice, "I'm not the little grandpa."

Cheng Yue was addicted, "Isn't that a little grandpa? Little baby?"

Mingshu often heard uncles and aunts calling other children baby in kindergarten. Baby is a very precious name. His parents never called him that.

He understands ignorantly that he is not a baby.

This time, when he was called Little Baby, he was surprised and ashamed, and immediately lowered his head, "I'm not Little Baby either."

"Ah? It's not a little grandpa, and it's not a little baby, so what are you?"

"I..." Mingshu's voice became even lower, "It's not a baby anyway."

Xiao Yuan discovered something was wrong just now. When he said that he was not a grandfather, Mingshu was just a little shy, but when he said that he was not a baby, Mingshu was wilted, and that's how children feel sad.

He couldn't think of the word for a while and it made Mingshu sad, but if Cheng Yue kept making fun of it, he might make the child cry.

"Okay." He took Mingshu for a while, and directly moved the person behind him, "What do you care about the person, it's endless?"

"Isn't this a joke?" Cheng Yue stood up with a smile on his face, "I am teasing the little baby but not you, why are you so nervous? Your little baby?"

Xiao Yuan heard Mingshu whimper. I thought that children are trouble, and I don't know what I'm whining about all day.

"Yeah, it's my house."

The tail at the back is no longer whining, and the syllable is changed—"Huh?"

"I knew it belonged to your family." Cheng Yue smiled heartily, and made a tongue-in-cheek tone to Mingshu, "I've peeled the edamame for you, but it's not your family's, but mine?"

The setting sun made the whole sky red, and the teenagers walked through the boulevard noisily and went home.

Xiao Yu'an hasn't held hands with anyone for a long time. Last time, his mother came to pick up the four of them to go out to play. He wanted to hold him, but he wouldn't let him. He said how old he was and still holding hands.

Mom laughed at him for pretending to be mature and forcibly took Xiao Jincheng.

At this moment, he was leading Mingshu along the elder's way.

Mingshu didn't know if he was frightened or what, he was very worried, otherwise he would be too lazy to hold him. On such a hot day, everyone's hands are sweaty, and it's uncomfortable to stick together.

The houses in the compound are one by one, and they are divided into sections. The Xiao family and the Ming family are in one section, and Cheng Yue is in another section. Every time a small road passes, there will be fewer people, and in the end, only Xiao Yu'an, Xiao Muching and Mingshu are left.

Xiao Yuan sent Mingshu to the door of Ming's house. When he let go, he felt that Mingshu had grabbed his finger, and the meaning of reluctance was obvious. Usually he also sent Mingshu back, Mingshu has always been very clingy, but not like today. It seems that Mingshu has had something on his mind since he heard the little baby.

"Go back." Xiao Yuan raised his chin in the yard.

Mingshu hesitated for a while, "Brother, I'm not a baby."

"Um?"

"I'm not a baby."

Xiao Yu'an could hear the depression in Mingshu's tone, but he didn't understand where the word hit Mingshu. But now was not the time to ask, Xiao Muting called him from the front, saying that dinner would be ready soon, and Grandpa Mingshu also walked from the house to the yard and looked outside.

"Go back to eat first." Xiao Yuan rubbed Mingshu's head.

Mingshu looked back to see his grandfather, and then nodded with a drooping head.

Xiao Yuan caught up with Xiao Muting, Xiao Muting laughed at him about the edamame, and when he turned, he subconsciously glanced in the direction of Ming's house, and Mingshu was no longer standing at the door.

There was a slanted sunset there, dazzlingly bright.

The games started right away, and Xiao Yuan didn't have time to ponder the thoughts in Mingshu's mind. He practiced badminton with Xiao Muting at night, and track and field during the day. There was always not enough time.

Mingshu came again in the morning, laying on his bed to do handicrafts, and the paper gun was about to be done.

"Are you going to the sports meeting tomorrow?" Xiao Yuan came back from the outside with a full body of heat, took a quick shower, took two mint ices upstairs, and gave one to Mingshu.

Recently, he likes to eat mint ice very much, and he doesn't feel that the taste is rushed.

Of course Mingshu wants to go. He still wanted to participate in the competition, but he had to go to elementary school to participate.

"Brother, I'll go cheer you on."

Xiao Yuan sat on the chair instead, with one hand on the back of the chair.

His house used to be very neat, but since he came from Mingshu, it was messy everywhere, and Mingshu's gadgets were thrown everywhere. The chair he was sitting on had a black cat sheriff attached to it. It was posted by Mingshu. Children who post things in their own house will be told that they will come to him to destroy them, and they also exchanged several sheets with Xiao Jincheng.

Mingshu blinked and asked him, "Brother, can I post one?"

He wanted to say no, but he didn't say it in the end.

Why don't you just post a few pictures? What happened to the sticker

Mingshu was a good boy, he said that he only posted one, and most of them were stored in his drawer.

"Why are you cheering?" Xiao Yuan asked.

He asked casually, but Mingshu thought honestly.

The cheerleaders on the TV are all cheerleaders, with uniform clothes, holding something like a large shuttlecock in their hands, colorful. Mingshu glanced at his gun, which was also colorful.

"Brother, I'll take the gun with me."

It was the first time that Xiao Yuan heard about using a gun to refuel. Imagine that scene, and find it interesting. Last year, someone stabbed a Monkey King, and this year Mingshu stabbed a gun, so it’s not impossible.

Xiao Yuan asked, "Is the gun ready?"

The gun should have been ready long ago. Mingshu was dragging it on purpose. After thinking about it for a long time, he raised his head and said, "Brother, I can do it tonight."

The child's eyes were very serious, but Xiao Yuan saw that the boss was reluctant, and laughed: "Okay, then I'll wait for you to cheer me on."

Mingshu didn't fall asleep at night, got up in the middle of the night and touched the paper gun with the last piece of colored paper pasted. It was very beautiful, even better than Xiao Jincheng's shell gun.

There is an activity center in the compound, where the sports meeting is held. It used to only be open for half a day. This year, an entrance-style session was added, and it was expanded to a full day.

"Hey, look there." Before the 400-meter run, Cheng Yue poked Xiao Yuan with his elbow and pointed to the stand.

Xiao Yu'an was making preparations and was too lazy to deal with it.

"You don't even watch your little baby?"

Xiao Yuan then looked towards the stands. Mingshu was quite conspicuous in the crowd, standing in the first row, holding a colorful paper gun in his hand, when he saw him turn around, he jumped and shouted, "Brother! Brother!"

It's crowded there, and it's no big deal for children to push people. Xiao Yuan glanced to the side again, Xiao Jinlan was beside Mingshu, protecting this little thing.

"What is that? The gun?" Cheng Yue said: "It's rare, and this can be taken out. If you win, the gun will be given to you?"

Xiao Yuan said, "What to give. That's his own."

When the starting gun rang, except for the two who fell at the starting line, everyone else rushed out with a swoosh. Xiao Yu'an initially fell behind Cheng Yue and another person, a little distance from the first and second.

Mingshu became anxious when he saw it, how could his brother lose

The shouting from the stand was so loud that Mingshu also waved his gun and shouted vigorously: "Brother, run!" But he didn't have such a loud voice, and when he was in a hurry, he couldn't shout.

Xiao Jinlan stopped participating in the sports meeting after entering junior high school. There is a generation gap between junior high school students and elementary school students. She looks at the three Xiao Yuan brothers just like Xiao Yuan looks at Mingshu.

Mingshu was so anxious, she couldn't hold back her joy, "Brother, you are running for Yu'an, what are you anxious about?"

Mingshu panicked, "My voice is too low, my brother can't hear it, and I can't run fast. I promised to cheer for my brother."

Xiao Jinlan coaxed, "Brother can hear it, brother listens to the wind."

"That brother can't run fast?"

"Because my brother is stupid."

Xiao Yuan didn't know that his sister said bad things about him, and he didn't know that Mingshu was so anxious. He wasn't really behind, he just took a leisurely pace at the start. After 200 meters, he started to exert his strength, gradually surpassed the second, and was about to overtake Cheng Yue.

Mingshu saw his brother catching up, and said quickly, "Brother is not stupid, come on, brother!"

Xiao Yu'an rushed through the stands and heard that brother is not stupid. When he hit the line, he passed Cheng Yue in a thrilling way, and when he turned around panting, he saw a dwarf running towards him at a glance.

It is Mingshu.

When he saw Mingshu, he remembered that brother who just brushed past his ear is not stupid, who would cheer like this except for this little thing

"Brother!" Mingshu was so happy that he won first place, "Brother first place!"

The paper gun was too big, so Mingshu couldn't jump into Xiao Yu'an's arms because he was holding the gun, and he changed his posture awkwardly, but it was not right. Xiao Yu'an was sweaty, and quite repulsed physical contact, but after seeing Ming Shu for a long time, his heart suddenly softened and he picked him up.

"Oh!" Mingshu was startled, "Brother?"
