The weather in May, the sun is just right, clear and clean, and the sun is warm on the body. During this time, Zhang Jing's favorite thing to do is to stay in the yard and read villains.
Whenever this time, Zhang Jing is in a very good mood. Even if he is only five years old, he still enjoys the feeling of owning the whole yard by himself.
However, Zhang Jing was not in a good mood today. Recently, his little head was full of depression.
The cause of the incident was that some time ago, his grandmother said that he would rent out the west wing in the yard, and he was a little unhappy in his heart.
Because Zhang Jing is a very planned person, he doesn't like sudden events or people disrupting his peaceful life.
But he was a precocious child after all. He knew that grandma wanted to rent out the house for his own good. In order not to hurt the old man's heart, Zhang Jing did not protest against grandma's proposal, but agreed obediently.
That's what he thought at the time, the big deal is to ignore the kid who moved in. Just play with that kid on the surface and get out of this door, anyway, grandma doesn't know what he's like outside.
However, more than a month later, grandma may not have found a suitable tenant, and the west wing in the yard has been so empty.
Just when Zhang Jing felt a little relieved, there was an uninvited guest who broke his tranquility in the courtyard next to him.
Grandpa Du and Grandma Zhou from the house next door both taught art in college. Zhang Jing likes the two of them very much and often visits the door next door.
Grandpa Du's house has a lot of interesting gadgets. He said it was for his little grandson, but the little grandson's family lives abroad, and it's a pity that he rarely comes back and keeps them there, so he often greets Zhang Jing to come play.
Grandpa Du and Grandma Zhou are very good-natured, speak slowly, and there are a lot of villains at home, so Zhang Jing, under their warm invitation, went to visit if he had something to do.
But since Grandpa Du's grandson came back from abroad and it is said that he will live here for a long time, Zhang Jing has minimized the time he visits, but it is not because Zhang Jing is careful to think that the other party has robbed the right to use those villain books and toys after returning. .
Zhang Jing sighed, thinking to himself, that stinky brat is really making a fuss.
He was thinking about it when he suddenly felt something lightly hit his head. Zhang Jing looked down and saw a peanut shell on the ground.
Zhang Jing really didn't want to look up, but he knew that if he didn't look up, the peanut shell wouldn't stop. He had to tighten his face tightly, expressing that he was very unhappy now.
After getting ready, Zhang Jing raised his head and saw the kid next door named Du Yan leaning on the wall and looking at him.
With a malicious smile on Du Yan's face, he said, "Hey, little old man, what are you doing?"
Zhang Jing didn't respond. He lowered his head and turned the page of the little book in his hand, pretending that he didn't hear anything.
Du Yan still persevered, and continued to smash Zhang Jing with peanut shells: "Hey little old man, the big locust tree at the entrance of the hutong has bloomed, let's go pick some locust flowers and come back and steam them. I heard from grandma that steamed locust flowers are delicious. ."
Zhang Jing still ignored him, but he despised the other party in his heart. He had never even eaten steamed locust blossoms. He was really an ignorant kid.
"It's boring, holding a broken book all day, what's there to see?"
Perhaps Zhang Jing's indifference finally made the other party give up, and Zhang Jing didn't hear anything after a few minutes. He carefully removed his eyes from the book and glanced surreptitiously towards the wall.
Sure enough, the top of the wall was empty, and Du Yan, who was clinging to it, was gone.
Give up so soon this time? Zhang Jing was a little relieved, thinking that Du Yan must have gone to pick locust flowers by himself.
He was about to continue reading the villain book when he remembered that the big locust tree at the entrance of the alley was quite tall. Some time ago, Lin Hu, who lived at the entrance of the alley, picked the locust flower and fell and almost broke his leg.
Zhang Jing still felt uneasy after thinking about it. Du Yan's kid moved in just a few days ago. Although he didn't like the noisy kid, Grandpa Du and Grandma Zhou next door have been taking good care of him...
Thinking of this, Zhang Jing put the book together and decided to go out to read it. However, as soon as he stood up, he heard an earth-shattering sound from next door, and those who didn't know thought that the house was being demolished.
Zhang Jing finally couldn't take it anymore, he sprinted to the side of Zha Wujian, dragged the ladder for the grape trellis out and put it on the wall.
This was the first time Zhang Jing had climbed the wall, and it was also the first time he had looked at the yard next door. He looked down and saw Du Yan playing a drum in the yard.
Zhang Jing took out from his pocket the peanut shell that Du Yan had used to smash him, and threw it back on Du Yan's head without hesitation.
Du Yan was playing the drums happily when suddenly a lot of things fell on his head. He looked up and saw Zhang Jing leaning against the wall.
He wasn't angry at all, but instead showed a malicious smile: "I didn't expect you, a little old man, to be able to climb walls. Grandma Li also said that her grandson is fine, just too quiet, like a little girl. kind of."
Du Yan grinned at Zhang Jing and said, "I really should let Grandma Li see, her little girl can climb the wall too."
Zhang Jing was the first time he met a child with such a poisonous and noisy mouth. He simply ignored Du Yan and said, "Can you be quieter, it's so noisy, and do you have any morals?"
Du Yan glanced at Zhang Jing and said, "It's broad day now, and it's not nighttime arguing for you to sleep. I don't have the morals anymore. Besides, I'm called art, what do you know?"
The two of you came and went, and they fought for a while. In the end, Zhang Jing went back to his house angrily.
Seeing this, Du Yan secretly climbed up the wall to look into the yard next door, and found that Zhang Jing was no longer in the yard, probably because he was angry and went back to the house.
"This child is quite temperamental." Du Yan shook his head.
Xiao Ba couldn't help but ask him, "It's still a year before Shi'an came to Pingcheng. You showed up so early to fight against Zhang Jing?"
Du Yan replied as a matter of course: "Of course, it is to determine my status as the little overlord of the alley. After all, it will take some time to conquer the world."
"… "
Seeing that Xiao Ba didn't reply, Du Yan raised his voice and shouted: "Hey, are you really not going to pick locust flowers! Don't go to me!"
As soon as Du Yan finished speaking, he saw the door slam open.
Zhang Jing rushed out angrily, his face tensed tightly: "You, you are not allowed to go!"
Du Yan made a face at him: "Little girl Zhang, you dare not climb a tree, I'm not afraid, just a little."
Xiao Ba finally couldn't stand Du Yan in this state, and complained, "Du Yan, you're so arrogant right now, do you know that?"
While provoking Zhang Jing, Du Yan dealt with Xiao Ba in his mind: "I know, isn't this imaginary?"
"… "
"Only this kind of stubborn child can shamelessly enter the world of Zhang Jing and Shi An without being liked by Shi An." Du Yan said.
Xiao Ba still didn't understand and asked, "Why?"
"Shi An is a very insecure person, and because he is a single parent, he is often bullied in his hometown, so a bear child like me will never like me."
"Then aren't you the Chengzhangjing control group?"
Du Yan said: "My purpose is to prevent Shi An from being bullied by other children in the alley, and to take away Zhang Jing's role as a hero to save the beauty. In this way, Shi An can grow up safely, even if he is tempted when he is young. The target is still Zhang Jing, and he won't be so determined, he will probably give up after being rejected once or twice."
Here Du Yan is talking to Xiao Ba in his head, but Zhang Jing is trying to organize language to persuade Du Yan.
"Some time ago, Lin Hu from the house at the entrance of the alley went to pick locust flowers and almost broke his leg. Grandpa Du and the others are usually busy with work, so you can't be calm..."
Zhang Jing was talking, and when he saw the kid crawling on the wall, he suddenly became quiet and didn't say a word for a long time.
Perhaps persuaded by his reasons, Zhang Jing couldn't help but feel a little smug in his heart, he was really good, and he could handle such a difficult kid.
Just when Zhang Jing was relieved, thinking that he could finally finish reading the villain book, he heard Du Yan say something.
"But I think I still want to eat steamed Sophora japonica. Wrestling or something is because the child is too weak."
Zhang Jing was so angry with him that he didn't speak for a long time, and Du Yan ignored him and wanted to jump off the wall.
Zhang Jing finally choked out a sentence: "Wait, I'll go with you."
Du Yan glanced at Zhang Jing in surprise and insisted on picking locust blossoms. He just wanted to establish the character of the Hutong Little Overlord. He never thought that Zhang Jing would agree to the invitation and go with him.
Because climbing a tree is really not in line with Zhang Jing's character.
Although Zhang Jing was only five years old, he was a little too precocious.
When Du Yan just moved in, the two families had dinner together. At that time, the elders of the two families expressed full envy to each other's grandsons.
Du Yan's grandparents looked at the quiet Zhang Jing and their grandson who looked like a monkey. They felt very envious. They thought that if their grandson was as obedient as Zhang Jing, they would not have to worry about whether Du Yan would go out when they went out. Upstairs torn down.
Zhang Jing's grandmother thinks that Du Yan is what a child of this age should look like. Although her grandson is well-behaved and obedient, she always feels a little withdrawn and doesn't like to play with other children.
Children of this age, not having a familiar friend will always worry adults. Now the two children have just complementary personalities, so the elders of the two families also think that they can become good friends.
Anyway, Grandma Li always told Zhang Jing from time to time: "Xiaoyan from the next door, just came back from abroad, you should take care of yourself."
Zhang Jing didn't want to talk to Du Yan, but because of his personality, he couldn't see Du Yan as invisible when he did dangerous things out of his sense of responsibility.
That's why he agreed to go to pick locust flowers with Du Yan when he failed to dissuade him.
Zhang Jing just walked out the door when he saw Du Yan standing at the door with a cloth bag in his hand, he waved to him with a smile and said, "Little old man, to be honest, you actually want to eat steamed sophora japonica, right?"
Zhang Jing glared at him and said, "If it wasn't for the fear that you would fall from the tree, then Grandpa Du and Grandma Zhou would be worried, and I wouldn't bother to care about you."
Du Yan smiled and didn't get angry, turned around and ran in the direction of the alley.
"Wait for me." Zhang Jing shouted and chased after him.
