Children need encouragement.

Just like now.

A 15-pound watermelon is a big problem for seven-year-old Tan Zipei. She can't hold it, and the convenient bag hurts her hands.

She has moved a little bit, panting, and put it down to call her sister to take it.

Then she heard Xu Anruo shouting from behind.

She was already out of strength and was about to give up, so she took a few deep breaths, blew on her hands, rubbed her palms vigorously, and finally...

"Hmm~~!!

She said fiercely in a baby voice.

Xu Anruo asked Tan Zijin to carry the big bag of candy and jelly into the house.

Then he turned the car forward and parked it under the big camphor tree, then took out the key and carried the box of reading materials into the house.

At this time, Tan Zipei had moved two-thirds of the way.

Tan Zijin turned around and was about to help her.

But the little girl was so arrogant that she refused to agree at all, and even said:

"Sister, don't worry about it. Brother said I can do it!"

Tan Zijin looked back at Xu Anruo.

Xu Anruo just smiled, hey, a proud smile.

Then she squatted at the door of her house, looking at Tan Zipei and shouting encouragement.

Finally, the watermelon was moved into the kitchen by Tan Zipei.

Then she rushed to Xu Anruo as soon as possible, with a cute look of asking for credit and praise, and said excitedly:

"Brother, I, I moved the watermelon in!"

The little girl was very tired, and she was a little out of breath when she spoke, and her pink and cute face was covered with a layer of sweat.

But her face was full of a sense of accomplishment and a little pride.

It seemed that she had accomplished something amazing.

Xu Anruo nodded solemnly and said:

"Great! Let's go and get the award with brother!"

"Yes, yes."

Tan Zipei followed Xu Anruo like a little tail.

Entered the main room.

Xu Anruo paused, then opened the bag of candy and jelly, and said to Tan Zipei who was leaning over:

"Look, this is the reward from brother, but you can only eat a few at a time, otherwise your teeth will be broken!"

"Yes, brother, it's the little dragon man?"

"You know the little dragon man too?"

"The little dragon man candy is the most delicious! Wow, there is also jelly!"

Tan Zipei was very happy.

But she only took a few when she reached out.

Moreover, he grabbed it and handed it to Xu Anruo, saying seriously:

"Brother, you can have one too?"

"Okay."

Xu Anruo wanted to say that he didn't like sweet things, but he still took one.

At this time, Tan Zijin came in with a cup of tea.

Tan Zipei ran to Tan Zijin who was standing aside, spread out her tender little hands, and said;

"Sister, look, it's a little dragon man!"

"Yes, sister knows."

Tan Zijin walked to Xu Anruo while speaking and handed the cup to her.

She still lowered her head, and just as she was about to speak, Xu Anruo took it over, with smooth and tacit movements, just like she had done it eight hundred times.

"Sister, eat one quickly, quickly!"

Tan Zipei peeled a cup and jumped to put it into her sister's mouth.

This made Tan Zijin a little at a loss. She secretly glanced at Xu Anruo, her face still red, and then bent down to eat the candy.

At this point, Tan Zipei peeled another candy and put it in her mouth, and then her cute face seemed to be sweet instantly.

Although Xu Anruo didn't eat it, he felt that his heart was also sweet.

Then he turned his head to look at Tan Zijin.

Tan Zijin was very polite. She just held it in her mouth without chewing it, but the joy brought by eating sweets was still very obvious on her face.

Xu Anruo subconsciously asked her:

"Hey, is it sweet?"

"Uh..."

Tan Zijin was stunned.

After looking at Xu Anruo, he lowered his head, nodded, and hummed softly with a slightly red face.

Xu Anruo almost wanted to say that you are actually sweeter.

Turning around, Xu Anruo said to Tan Zipei who was chewing candy:

"Zipei, come here!"

"Brother!"

The clever little ghost came running over.

Xu Anruo opened the cardboard box, revealing all kinds of reading materials, including fairy tales, classics, 100,000 Whys... and so on.

Anyway, he bought everything that was suitable for this age group.

I was a little worried that Tan Zipei might not like reading.

But what I didn't expect was that.

Zipei was happier when she saw the books than when she saw the candy.

"Brother, are all these books for me?"

She asked excitedly, blinking her eyes.

Xu Anruo nodded and said:

"Yes, allI gave it to you, but you have to promise your brother that you will watch less TV in the future, okay? Especially TV series, which children cannot watch! "

"Brother..."

"Hmm?"

"I, I was alone at home, and my grandmother was afraid that I would have nothing to do, so she let me watch TV."

Tan Zipei's voice suddenly became smaller, as if she was admitting her mistake and explaining.

Xu Anruo suddenly realized it.

My sister has to go to school, and my grandmother has to work. Sometimes she doesn't take her home with her, and she is afraid that she will climb high and play with fire and get electrocuted, but there is no other way, so she can only let her watch TV.

This is a kind of helplessness, and also a kind of loneliness.

At this time, Tan Zijin also came over and whispered:

"Zipei is very well-behaved, and she doesn't watch too much TV. She, she will read my old textbooks, but she doesn't know many words now. "

Xu Anruo felt even worse after hearing this.

But he didn't know what to say.

He reached out and rubbed Tan Zipei's head, and said gently:

"Great! Brother is not blaming you. Now, tell me when you finish reading these books, and I will buy them for you later, okay?"

"Okay... No, no."

"Why?"

"Brother buys books for me to spend money, and I can't let you spend money again."

Xu Anruo was stunned.

Alas.

This family!

He took a deep breath and asked:

"Then what did you call me?"

"Brother."

"Isn't it wrong for brother to buy you gifts?"

"But..."

"Listen, brother doesn't buy you gifts for nothing. You see, these are your rewards for moving watermelons. If brother buys you books in the future, it's because you behave well at home, understand?"

"Yeah, I know! "

Zipei nodded vigorously, and her face became happy again.

Xu Anruo didn't say anything else.

He stood up and turned around, and saw Tan Zijin looking at him with red eyes again.

When their eyes met, she lowered her head habitually.

"As a child, it's good to have a sister, but if there is another brother, it would be better, right?" Xu Anruo said with a smile.

"Yeah."

Tan Zijin responded.

Then she added in a trembling voice:

"Thank you, thank you."
