Xiao Tu has a particularly large appetite since he was a child. When he was three years old, he could eat two bowls of porridge at a time. Her mother was very worried about this. If you continue to eat like this, if you are poor, you will be small. What if you eat fat? Her mother thought about it for a night, and finally decided to let Xiao Tu eat only one bowl of porridge.
This is hard for Xiao Tu, staring dryly at the empty bowl after eating, muttering in his mouth: "Mom, eat..."
Her mother was heartless, reached out and pushed her daughter out the door: "Good, go to your godmother's house to play."
So Xiao Tu turned his head to look forward to the pot of porridge, and swayed to Ling Chao's house.
At that time, Ling Chao was only two years old and eleven months old. When Xiao Tu entered the door, his mother happened to be feeding him porridge. A large pot of porridge was placed in front of Ling Chao, but he refused to eat it.
His mother was so anxious that she was sweating, and she even coaxed and deceived: "Super super good, it's time to eat!"
meal
As soon as Xiao Tu heard the word, his eyes were green and faint like a weasel.
"Godmother, Tutu has to eat too!"
Ling Chao's mother was worried that his son would not eat, when he saw Xiao Tu, his eyes lit up, he had an idea! So she filled Xiao Tu with a big bowl of porridge and greeted her warmly: "Little Rabbit, come to eat and show Chaochao, um... It looks delicious!"
Xiao Rabbit ate so badly that half of his face was covered with rice grains.
Ling Chao stared at her without blinking, and from time to time he stuck out his tongue and licked his little lips. After a while, he finally couldn't bear it any longer. He turned his head and said to his mother, "Mom, have dinner."
"Good class!" His mother happily served her son a bowl of rice.
Because of this matter, Ling Chao's mother especially welcomed Xiao Tu to his house for dinner. And Xiao Tu also likes to run to the next door when it is time to eat, and her mother sees the clue.
"Husband, do you think that our little rabbits are not calling for dinner recently?"
Her dad, who was fixing the radio, said without looking up, "Wouldn't that be nice?"
"What's the matter? I think she ran to Lao Ling's house after eating these few days. There must be some reason. Maybe she was stealing food at Lao Ling's house!"
Her dad raised his head impatiently: "You're true, just let her eat if she likes it!"
"What do you know? Children are young, they will absorb it, and they will grow meat when they eat. If you lose shape in the future, will you pay for the extra fabric money you will get from making clothes?"
Her father thought about it and felt that it made sense: "If you are really worried, send your daughter to kindergarten. The meals there are rationed, and there is not much to eat."
Her mother thought it made sense, and went to the town kindergarten the next day to sign up Xiao Tu's name.
For this reason, Xiao Tu was extremely reluctant, but her mother had an order, and she was not easy to refute. After escaping a few times, she still went to kindergarten obediently.
Fortunately, Ling Chao was also sent to kindergarten after a few days, and was placed in the same class.
In fact, the reason is very simple. Since Xiao Tu went to kindergarten, Ling Chao started not eating again. His mother was anxious and couldn't think of any other way, so he simply sent his son to go to kindergarten with Xiao Tu. Let them eat together.
This wrong decision later directly led to the occupation of Ling Chao's meals by Xiao Tu. So for a while, Ling Chao was too hungry to stand up from his seat. And Xiao Tu is alive and kicking every day, more energetic than at home.
Ling Chao's quietness is named after this.
Fortunately, this incident was later discovered by the kindergarten aunt. In order not to be accused of negligence by the parents, the aunt secretly served more children every time she served meals.
So Ling Chao finally stopped being hungry, while Xiao Tu ate more.
The kindergarten has more food to eat than at home, which breaks Xiao Tule. Every morning, she asks her mother to take her to the kindergarten. make trouble.
In order to prevent her newly-made skirt from being damaged by her daughter again, her mother asked Ling Chao for his mother's help. When she sent Ling Chao to go every morning, she brought Xiao Tu with her.
At that time, Ling Chao's mother was riding a 24-inch Phoenix bicycle. Ling Chao sat in the front and Xiao Tu in the back. The two took Ling's mother's car to the kindergarten every day. The old ladies who were chatting in the alley were joking.
"Sister Ling Ling, are you taking your son and daughter-in-law to kindergarten again?"
Ling Ma smiled shyly, and helped Xiao Tu, who was twisting in the back seat and was about to fall, thinking: I can't break my future daughter-in-law!
In a sense, Ling Ma is a very far-sighted woman.
Ling Ma rode her broken bicycle like this, delivering it in the morning and picking it up in the evening, taking care of the two children for two years in the wind and rain, until Xiao Tu and Ling Chao went to the big shift, the bicycle finally broke.
After the only means of transportation at home broke down, Ling Ma decided to take the two children to the kindergarten on foot. At that time, the yard they lived in was not very far from the kindergarten. They only had to go out and walk forward, through an alley, and then along the river. It's on the way up.
At that time, Xiao Tu walked very fast, and he jumped and left Ling Chao behind, so Ling Ma asked the two to walk hand in hand.
Ling Chao refused, hid his hands behind his back, and kept hiding behind his mother.
Xiao Tu doesn't care, she can do whatever the godmother asks her to do. The godmother calls her to pull Ling Chao's hand. Of course she can't disappoint the godmother? So she dashed behind Ling Ma and grabbed Ling Chao's hand.
It was the first time I pulled the hand of my peers, it was soft and comfortable.
Ling Chao struggled a few times, but couldn't shake it off, and finally gave in.
So, every morning and evening, people can always see a little girl walking swaggeringly holding the little boy's hand in the morning glow or the setting sun. The little boy looks reluctant and follows her awkwardly. A kind young woman followed behind them, looking at them with a relieved smile on her face.
The warm sunlight shone on their bodies, one big, two small and three, and three long, golden shadows were drawn...
One day, the three shadows suddenly lost one, leaving only the two little shadows, walking by the river hand in hand.
It turned out that when school was over that day, Ling's mother, who was always on time, didn't come to pick them up. The two children squatted at the gate of the kindergarten for a long time. Until all the children were picked up by their parents, Ling's mother still did not show up.
Xiao Tu stood up from the steps and took Ling Chao's hand: "Let's go, let's go back by ourselves!"
Ling Chao opened his mouth and seemed to want to say something, but Xiao Tu had already dragged him down the steps.
The journey home was short, but long for two five-year-olds. Holding hands, they walked slowly along the river bank in early autumn, the clear river overflowed the river bank, and the autumn cicadas sang the last Li song on the branches.
Xiao Tu said in a milky voice, "Go quickly, or the godmother will be worried."
Ling Chao was not convinced: "Why do you listen to my mother like this?"
Xiao Tu tilted his head for a while, and answered seriously, "Because she is my godmother."
Then, Ling Chao didn't ask any more questions.
When I got home, it was already dark, the door to the yard was left open, and there was a faint sound of arguing inside.
Xiao Tu took Ling Chao's hand and was about to walk in, when the courtyard door suddenly opened, Lao Ling walked out quickly, twisted his neck and shouted, "Whether you agree or not, I just want to go out and have a try! After he finished speaking, he turned his head and saw Xiao Tu and Ling Chao with terrified faces.
"Dad..." Ling Chao shouted weakly.
Lao Ling glanced at his son, a man in his thirties, his eyes suddenly turned red.
"Tutu, godfather will be away for a while, and Chaochao will take care of you in the future, you know?"
Xiao Tu asked, "Godfather, where are you going?"
"Godfather is going to a far, big place, and when he comes back, he will bring you chocolates."
chocolate? That's delicious stuff.
Xiao Tu nodded happily, holding Ling Chao with one hand and patting his chest with the other: "Godfather, don't worry, Tutu will definitely take good care of god brother!"
Then, Lao Ling left, didn't come back the next day, didn't come back on the third day, never came back on the fourth, fifth, sixth day...
Later, Ling's mother kept crying, so much so that she couldn't take care of picking up the child, so Xiao Tu took Ling Chao's hand out of the courtyard together every day, passed through the alley, and went to the kindergarten along the river bank.
Until one morning, Ling Ma suddenly stopped crying. She came out of the room, wearing a new khaki dress, her swollen eyes were smiling and narrowed into a slit.
She said to Xiao Tu and Ling Chao, "Go, Mom will send you to kindergarten today!"
Xiao Rabbit clapped his hands with joy and said, "Godmother, you still look good when you smile!"
