Mingshu was a little scared and didn't know whether to ask Xiao Yuan for help. It happened before that he couldn't get down from the tree, but after grandpa scolded him, he didn't take him down and told him to find a way by himself. While crying, he moved down inch by inch, and finally came down.
So this time, even if Xiao Yuan doesn't help, he can come down by himself.
It just takes longer.
He turned his face to look at Xiao Yu'an, and said softly, "I can."
The cicadas were so noisy that Xiao Yuan couldn't hear what the child was muttering at all. He guessed that he was asking him for help, so he walked closer and stretched out his hand to pull Mingshu's leg.
Mingshu's position is a bit high, he can't directly hold the person down by the waist, he can only start from the legs.
Mingshu was startled and kicked subconsciously, kicking Xiao Yuan's hand away.
Xiao Yu'an loves cleanliness, and he can't stand a little water on his body, let alone dirty footprints. He looked down at the trace on his palm and inner arm, frowning unhappily.
Mingshu just kicked it instinctively, and didn't think much of it at all. He hasn't seen his mother very much since he can remember. Other children are held by their mothers. Before going to bed, their mothers will kiss their foreheads. He sleeps by himself, and his grandparents never hug him. During the Spring Festival, Dad came back. He ran over with open arms and wanted Dad to hug him, but Dad's eyes were cold, his hands were hanging in the air, and he finally carried his back behind him.
He had hardly ever had physical contact with anyone, and when Xiao Yuan touched him just now, he thought it was dangerous, but his legs had already moved before he figured it out.
He hurriedly said "I'm sorry", but looking down, Xiao Yu'an was slapping the dust on his arm and got angry.
"Brother." He was anxious and frightened, and his voice finally became louder, "I'm sorry, brother..."
Xiao Yu'an was very unhappy. He rarely wore a white shirt today, which was very neat and tidy. He kindly carried the child down, and didn't want to be kicked full of ashes. The ashes were still on the white shirt and were dirty.
But the child in front of him was red-eyed, anxious and flustered, a bit pitiful. He probably couldn't hold the tree, his two thin arms were shaking, and he couldn't speak clearly. He knew that he was called brother, and he knew that he was sorry.
Who can be angry with such a child
Xiao Yuan couldn't help but think of his cousin, who went to the sky, never called his brother, and I'm sorry, let alone even think about it.
Although I have always been glad that my mother did not give birth to a younger brother, at this time, looking at Mingshu like a cicada, Xiao Yuan suddenly felt that the younger brothers were as good as Mingshu, chasing after and shouting the words of the elder brother, that many younger brothers are quite beautiful.
He didn't bother to care about Mingshu getting his arm dirty, and stretched out his hand again, "I'll help you."
I have never been praised before, all I see at home are the cold faces of my grandparents. Mingshu has long learned to look at his face and please people. When he saw Xiao Yuan was not angry with him, he couldn't care about anything else, so he quickly released his hand and went to him. Xiao Yuan jumped on him.
Xiao Yu'an wanted to help him, but he could no longer be ignorant.
He actually didn't quite understand the word "I don't know how to be nice", but grandma often said that he didn't know how to be nice.
The moment Mingshu rushed down, Xiao Yuan was startled, and his heart was bad.
Although he was a few years older than Mingshu, he couldn't stand it. The military chess he played with Xiao Muting had Scud in it, and he felt that Mingshu was hitting him like a Scud.
Mingshu has no concept of weight or anything. He knows how bad it is. Since the brother of the Xiao family stretches out his hand to him, then he will be done!
Fortunately, Xiao Yu'an has been exercising with his grandfather for the past two years. He is learning military boxing and reacts quickly. He leans back a bit, leaving a buffer space.
However, Mingshu really fell into his arms, and he realized that the child was quite light, not as terrifying as Scud.
He took a few steps around Mingshu's hind legs, released the momentum, and finally stood firm.
Mingshu didn't know at all that he was a scud in Xiao Yuan's mind, and he didn't know how dangerous the pounce just now was. At this moment, he was wrapping around Xiao Yu'an's neck, staring at Xiao Yu'an with big eyes without blinking, and then took a breath.
"Oh-"
Xiao Yu'an wanted to put Mingshu down immediately - his arm was a little sore. Ke Mingshu seemed to be frightened and stupid, although his eyes were still bright, but his eyes were a little dull.
It seems to be still afraid.
The parents of the Xiao family are all reasonable and gentle people. They rarely participate in the affairs between the children. The three boys’ fights and quarrels are resolved internally. Even Xiao Jincheng, who is the most troublesome, understands the truth of taking enough time and putting your heart to heart. Xiao Yu'an's mind was even more detailed, and he felt that Mingshu should not be put down immediately. The child has not recovered yet and needs to be coaxed.
Mingshu was dumbfounded, he just stared blankly. He doesn't have a brother, and he has never been hugged like this in his memory. Grandpa and grandma have wrinkles on their faces and they don't look good. Although my mother is very beautiful, she hasn't seen him for a long time, and he can't even remember what her mother looked like.
Children's hearts are the purest, and their likes and dislikes are also the simplest. They like what they like and laugh at what they like. Mingshu felt that the elder brother of the Xiao family was really good-looking, without any wrinkles. The elder brother of the Xiao family still had his favorite mint smell, and the elder brother of the Xiao family was comfortable in his arms.
Before he was old enough to hide his emotions, Mingshu first pursed his lips, but after a while, he couldn't hold it anymore, and grinned at Xiao Yuan.
Xiao Yu'an didn't understand why the child laughed and thought about it and said, "Are you alright?"
Mingshu shook his head obediently, trying to be polite, "Thank you brother."
Xiao Yuan's arm was about to die of soreness, so he asked, "Then I'll let you down?"
Mingshu was unwilling to come down, and when he heard that Xiao Yuan was no longer holding him, he subconsciously flattened his mouth, his eyelids drooped, his long eyelashes blocked some light, and his eyes looked a little dim.
He's actually quite clingy, but no one has ever made him clingy. He knew that his grandparents didn't like being followed by him, but sometimes he couldn't help it. When he saw his grandfather watering the flowers, he followed, and when he saw his grandma drying the clothes, he followed, but he couldn't get it, and he was often reprimanded, "No. Stand here, stand in the way."
He was finally hugged, but it was too short-lived, and he was reluctant to bear it.
But he knew that he should go down, don't wait until the brother of Xiao is impatient. He didn't realize that he flattened his mouth just now, and quickly nodded obediently, "Brother, I can go by myself."
But in this moment of time, Xiao Yuan was not able to put the person down.
The child's disappointment is so obvious, when he hears that he wants to put it down, his eyes are not bright, he is obviously unwilling to go by himself, and he has to say that he can go by himself. It hurts to be sensible and careful.
Xiao Yu'an has never met such a sensible younger brother. Xiao Jincheng doesn't say he is sensible, he can't get through a day without causing trouble. This comparison is too cruel, Xiao Yuan actually has a sense of responsibility as a brother.
What if your hands are sore? Not holding back.
"Do you want to go home?" Xiao Yuan said, "I can take you home."
Mingshu didn't want to go home, he wanted to play with Xiao Yuan.
Seeing the child shaking his head, Xiao Yuan asked again, "Where do you want to go? Are you still climbing trees?"
Of course Mingshu didn't want to climb the tree, but he didn't dare to say he wanted to play with you, so he had to ask, "Brother, where are you going?"
Xiao Yuan glanced at the adventure picture book that fell on the ground, "I want to read a book."
Saying that, he squatted down with some effort, put his arms around Mingshu with one hand, and picked up the book with the other hand, and asked Mingshu to help hold it.
The cover of the book is very beautiful, Mingshu suddenly became interested, blinked and said, "Brother, can I read it with you?"
When Xiao Yuan came out of his home where chickens flew and dogs jumped, he really wanted to be quiet and where to stay, and he never thought that he should do things like reading with others. Share a book with Xiao Muting or Xiao Jincheng? Can't even think about it.
But the child was pitiful and looked at him hopefully, and he couldn't tell if he couldn't.
There is a Jasmine Garden in the compound, with a winding leisure corridor and two pavilions. There are always people in the pavilion, either the old lady dancing the sword or the grandfather practicing Tai Chi. But you can sit anywhere on the promenade, and it's still quiet. Xiao Yuan found a corner and put Mingshu down. When there was no burden on his hands, he was still sore. He couldn't hold back, and he showed a pained expression.
Mingshu looked at him, observed for a while, and said, "Brother, am I too heavy?"
He didn't want to complain, he smiled, "It's okay, read a book."
In fact, the corridor is not suitable for two people to read books. It is difficult to put books while sitting. If you squat, your legs are numb. Xiao Yuan felt that he couldn't read it after reading a page, because Mingshu said he was going to read a book, but in fact he was always looking at him.
He turned his face, Mingshu hurriedly lowered his head, and read the book honestly. After reading it for less than three seconds, he glanced at him from the corner of his eye.
For Xiao Yu'an, his younger brother is synonymous with nasty ghosts, but Mingshu, this beautiful child, made him discover that his younger brother can also be very interesting.
"Don't you want to read a book?" He sternly said, "What do you see me doing?"
"Ah!" Mingshu's eyes were watery and his voice was a little timid, "Brother, have you found it?"
Xiao Yuxin thought, you moved so much just now, and I'm not blind.
The 11-year-old boy is the most ignorant of the sky and the earth. When he thinks that I am the most awesome in the world, Xiao Yuan is not as arrogant as his cousin, but he also feels that he is special in his heart. Whenever there is a chance, he will tremble. Shaking his prestige as a brother.
He patted Mingshu's head and pretended to be serious: "You follow me and say you want to read the book, but when the book is opened, you don't read it. Then why do you follow me?"
Mingshu was anxious, and his eyes became more hydrated.
He really doesn't want to read books, and he doesn't even know a few words. He just wanted to play with Xiao's brother, so he lied.
In the cognition of children, lying is a big mistake, lying will be eaten by wolves.
Mingshu poked his finger on the book, pouted and said, "Brother, I want to read it, but, but..."
Xiao Yuan didn't expect that his bluff would make the child cry, but it was not easy to coax him right away, but his tone softened, "But what?"
Mingshu picked up the book, lowered his head and said, "But I don't know how to read."
