Chu Xiaoxiao didn't want to meet Chu Xiaoyi again, so he simply took advantage of the last bit of daylight to go to the small courtyard to breathe. The little uncle used to take care of grandma in the house. She saw the little girl in the yard through the window and reminded: "Xiao Xiao, don't go out now."
There is a small yard at home, and there is an iron door, Chu Xiaoxiao always runs out of this door to play, and never likes to go through the main door.
Chu Xiaoxiao replied, "I'm in the yard."
After hearing her promise, the little aunt felt relieved and slowly closed the curtain. Chu Xiaoxiao skipped a few times boredly, then looked out at the scene outside the iron fence, and spent time outdoors.
Now that it is the Spring Festival, most of the residents in the community go home to celebrate the New Year. In addition, the green area of the community is already large, and no one can be seen. Chu Xiaoxiao used to be able to see pedestrians walking their dogs, but now he found that the surroundings were empty, only the warm yellow street lights were gradually turning on.
After a while, Chu Xiaoxiao finally saw the first passerby walking a pet, but he was not walking a dog, but a cat.
A delicate boy of six or seven years old is wearing a black down jacket and a white scarf, and is standing under a tree with a black cat on his hand. The black cat was dragged by the little owner with a leash. It was also wrapped in a small dark dress, and the black hair exposed was pure and bright, but the paws were snow-white, as if wearing white gloves.
The first time Chu Xiaoxiao saw someone walking a cat, she couldn't help staring at the little boy. He turned his head, as if feeling her gaze, and stared straight back.
The two children stared at each other for a long time through the iron fence, as if they were in a daze aimlessly, but also as if they were cautiously testing, and neither of them spoke.
The black cat squatted on the ground and washed its face with its claws. It was the most calm in the quiet, and glanced around casually.
Chu Xiaoxiao observed the little boy for a long time, and she couldn't help but feel quite novel when she saw the golden emotional color of the other party. In her cognition, warm colors represent that the other party is in a good mood and is more friendly to her. However, before they had spoken to each other, he was willing to show kindness, which surprised Chu Xiaoxiao.
Chu Xiaoxiao was sure that he was not a bad person, so he took the lead in breaking the silence and asked, "Why do you want to see me?"
The little boy tilted his head and replied, "Because you are looking at me."
The two successfully established communication, and the little boy led the black cat to the iron fence and approached Chu Xiaoxiao in the yard. The black cat is quite cooperative. It looks like an adult big cat, with smooth body lines, agile and light steps, and quite calmly walking beside the boy.
Little boy: "I saw you before, you and others were feeding the cat."
Chu Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that she and sister Yang Yin would sometimes cook bibimbap together and go to feed the stray cats in the community. They also build cat dens out of old fabrics and hide in corners to give feral cats a place to spend the winter.
Chu Xiaoxiao looked at the black cat on the ground and asked curiously, "Can cats also be walked?"
"Yes, but it needs to be bathed and dewormed, and a leash has to be installed." The little boy thought about it carefully and added, "Some cats are afraid to go out, so they can't be walked."
The black cat seemed to have caught the keyword "bath", and it immediately made a slightly unhappy sound and turned its head to the side. A cat's language isn't just meowing, it's more often purring, even sounds that humans can't hear.
Chu Xiaoxiao stared at the black cat for a long time and said, "It doesn't seem to like wearing clothes?"
Little boy: "It doesn't matter if he likes it or not, and I don't like wearing down jackets, but my father insists on letting me wear them."
The black cat made a small sound again, as if to complain to the little master, nothing more than "I have hair, you don't, it's just inexplicable" and so on. It was forced to wear clothes, and it couldn't even lick its body. It was obviously very resentful.
Seeing that Chu Xiaoxiao had been looking at the cat, the little boy simply got closer to the iron fence and suggested, "You can touch it."
Chu Xiaoxiao stretched out his little hand over the fence, but still couldn't touch the black cat that was close at hand. The black cat seemed to be aware of her current situation. It took two steps forward slowly, lowered its head gentlemanly and let her touch it, and then retreated to the boy's feet.
Chu Xiaoxiao looked at it in surprise. She found that the black cat was quite elegant and reserved, completely different from the stray cats in the community. She used to feed the cat with sister Yang Yin, and every time she could only hear the meaning of "eat" or "so hungry", followed by the sound of chewing.
Little boy: "It's called Liszt, and my name is Liang Shuangqi."
The black cat even has a very artistic name, and it has the same name as the romantic pianist Liszt.
"My name is Chu Xiaoxiao." Before Chu Xiaoxiao's musical skills were turned on, she couldn't help showing a puzzled look and asked, "Why isn't it called Liang Site, but its surname Li?"
Liang Shuangqi blinked, he covered his lips and thought for a moment, then replied, "That makes sense."
Liang Shuangqi: "Let's call it Liang Site from now on."
Chu Xiaoxiao: "Hello, Liang Site."
Black cat:
The black cat seemed to be unable to bear the chatter of the human cubs, and strode to go home. It leaned over halfway and grabbed the leash on its body, as if to remind the little master to lift his legs and walk away quickly.
Liang Shuangqi pulled the leash, and he waved goodbye to Chu Xiaoxiao: "Xiao Xiao, I'm going home, goodbye."
Chu Xiaoxiao: "Goodbye."
Chu Xiaoxiao looked at the person and the cat who left, she always felt that the cat was walking the person, not the person walking the cat. She wandered around in the yard for a while, and found that it was getting dark, so she returned to the house.
During the Spring Festival, Chu Xiaoyi returned home for the first time in five years, which also brought a lot of changes to the lives of his family. According to the habits of previous years, grandma, uncle and uncle will return to the old city after the New Year's Eve dinner. The three old people have their own pace of life and cannot live with the younger generation.
However, Chu Xiaoyi finally came back once, so that no one dared to leave at will, and they all planned to hold on until he left first. The family entertained him eagerly every day, causing Chu Xiaoyi to be under a lot of pressure, so he could only respond politely and gently. This is simply a strange phenomenon. Chu Xiaoyi feels that he is not like going home, but walking on thin ice like he is living in a relative's house, and he doesn't dare to cause trouble at all.
No one mentioned the past, as if the memories had been easily turned over, leaving only the family and the people and everything.
The most relaxing moment for Chu Xiaoyi is to stay with Chu Xiaoxiao alone. They didn't have to pretend to each other, let alone talk politely while wearing masks. If the elders find that Chu Xiaoyi is taciturn, then things will get bigger, and they will chat awkwardly with him, lest Chu Xiaoyi feel left out.
In order to avoid such a situation, Chu Xiaoyi wanted to stick to small things from time to time, and he almost annoyed Chu Xiaoxiao to death. Chu Xiaoxiao has now acquired new skills, she can now treat her cheap brother as a ball of air, no matter how he floats in front of her, she can turn a blind eye.
Chu Xiaoyi regards Chu Xiaoxiao as a tool to escape the embarrassment of the elders, and Chu Xiaoxiao regards Chu Xiaoyi as an invisible, colorless and odorous mass of farts (?).
However, Chu Xiaoyi used too many of the same tricks, which also made the parents find a little strange. Chu Jiadong found that the two brothers and sisters were silent in the living room. He came forward to warm up the atmosphere and hoped that the children would be familiar with each other. He suggested, "Xiao Xiao, would you like to show your brother your foreign language course?"
Chu Jiadong always felt that it was not good for the two to keep silent, so he wanted to choose a project that his sons and daughters were good at, and let them try to break the ice in their relationship.
Chu Xiaoyi didn't speak, he pretended to lower his head and swipe his mobile phone, not to make eye contact with his father. Chu Xiaoxiao was looking at the iPad, she refused without looking up: "No."
Chu Jiadong said with a good temper: "Then do you want to listen to my brother singing? My brother is very good at singing and dancing?"
Chu Xiaoxiao raised her head this time, and she said seriously: "Why doesn't Dad show us a foreign language class, and then sing and dance? My brother and I will definitely be very happy?"
Chu Xiaoyi gloatingly agreed: "I think it's okay."
Chu Jiadong: "..." Very good, they successfully completed the ice breaking by hitting themselves in unison.
Xiao Bi happened to be passing by the living room. She saw her husband slumped in front of the children. She sighed helplessly and suggested, "Xiao Yi, take Xiao Xiao out to buy some fruit, and also go out for a walk, don't stay at home."
Xiao Bi's prestige at home is obviously much stronger, Chu Xiaoyi can only put on his coat honestly, wrap himself tightly, and go out for a walk with small things. He has a little temper with his father, but he is weaker with his mother, and it is not easy to have a refutation.
Chu Xiaoxiao also put on her little padded jacket. She looked at the cheap brother wearing a black mask and a peaked cap, and commented: "You dress like a manhole cover thief."
Chu Xiaoyi, who considers himself a fashionista: "?"
Chu Xiaoxiao didn't understand Chu Xiaoyi's fashion items at all, but felt that he was really poor in his heart. He still wears jeans in winter, and there is an inexplicable seam on his left knee, as if it was cut by a blade. Isn't this leaking cold air
The two had already walked out of the house. Chu Xiaoxiao stretched out his small hand, pulled the gap on his knee, and frowned, "Go back first and let my aunt sew it up for you, and then let's go out to buy fruit."
Chu Xiaoyi: "???"
Chu Xiaoyi laughed instead of being angry. He was so angry that he wanted to pinch her little head, and he refused: "This is what makes it valuable. If there is no such seam, I will not wear it again!"
The design highlight of these jeans is the seam on the left knee, which is simple and casual, which is the finishing touch. Without this special slit, it's just plain denim, but now with designer inspiration, it's a big-name item.
Chu Xiaoxiao didn't understand the trend for the time being, she really showed a confused look, and asked: "Is this a bowl for beggars to beg for food? If there is no bowl, there will be no food?"
Chu Xiaoxiao: Why are ripped pants better? Is he begging outside
Chu Xiaoyi: "..."
He felt that his sister was not gifted in foreign languages, but rather skilled in choosing words and sentences. She could always use various rhetorical devices to make people speechless.
