wait for you to grow up

(1.) The cat in the alley corner

"Woooooooo..."

Zeng Ruo, a 9-year-old student in the third grade of Guangchong Primary School.That afternoon, as usual, he was returning home from school with his schoolbag on his back, when he suddenly heard cat-like meows from around him, intermittent, sad and plaintive, it must be trapped to make a cry for help.

Zeng Ruo searched carefully, and in a narrow alley, next to the abandoned furniture, there was indeed a cute "kitten" squatting there crying.

"Hey, are you lost?" Zeng Ruo asked worriedly as he shook his heavy schoolbag.

"No, no, I... left home... ran away." The little boy who squatted there and looked like he was only 5 or 6 years old suppressed his sobs until he finished speaking and cried helplessly: "Woo Woo..."

"Why did you run away from home? Your parents will worry about you." Home is the warmest place in the world. Zeng Ruo, who didn't understand, went to the little boy's side to persuade him.

"Mom and Dad have been forcing me to learn things I don't like, but I just want to play toys and games with other children." Speaking of this, the little boy cried out aggrieved again.

It turned out to be a playful guy, Zeng Ruo sighed, and looked helplessly at the darkening sky, he had to go home quickly, otherwise, his parents would have to worry again.

"Don't cry, you have nothing outside alone, you will starve to death and freeze to death soon, and when it gets dark, there will be many big wild wolves coming and eating your meat and eating you There are none left, and even your parents don’t know you.” Zeng Ruo wanted to scare him and tell him to go home quickly, but he didn’t expect the effect to be successful, but the result was just the opposite.

The little boy yelled in fear and threw himself into Zeng Ruo's arms: "Wow! Brother, I'm afraid of big wild wolves. Brother, can you take me home."

"You have your own home, what do you go back with me, before it gets dark, you go back and confess your mistake to your parents now, not only will there be no big wild wolves, but you will also have hot meals." Zeng Ruo tried to hold the little boy The boy goes home.

However, the little boy was unwilling to move when he heard that he was going home. He looked at Zeng Ruo with his red, swollen, pitiful eyes and begged, "Brother, if I am eaten by wild wolves, will you remember me?"

The little boy cried bitterly, he would rather be eaten by wolves than go home, so he pulled out the hand held by Zeng Ruo forcefully, curled up and continued to cry convulsively.

Zeng Ruo could see despair in his eyes.After being frightened, the little boy became more emotionally unstable. He no longer had the extravagant hope that the little boy would listen to some great truths, and he would wait until he calmed down.

"Why would I watch you being eaten by big wild wolves, and I will not save you? Let's talk about going home later. You are hungry, come home with me for dinner first." You can't leave him here alone, when the time comes If the big wild wolf didn't show up, but if a bad uncle appeared to abduct him, then it would be a real crime.Zeng Ruo thought that if she couldn't persuade her, maybe her parents could do it.Thinking of this, Zeng Ruo secretly rejoiced at his little wit.

"Brother!" The little boy excitedly rushed forward and hugged Zeng Ruo tightly.That crying pitiful look, no matter how big a mistake he made, how capricious he was afterwards, how unreasonable he made trouble, Zeng Ruoxiang could still be forgiven.

The two were walking hand in hand on the sunset road. The little boy looked up at Zeng Ruo who had rescued him from the wolf's mouth. The orange sun shone on Zeng Ruo's immature face. throbbing.

The little boy didn't understand what it was, and it wasn't until he grew up that he gradually understood the meaning of it.It was this person who let me know the meaning of existence; it was this person who took me out of the sea of ​​suffering and stepped into the door of happiness; it was this person who made me realize what is simple and beautiful, and it was this person who taught me what liking is !

***

The boy's full name is Liu Minchong, and he is 6 years old this year.Along the way, I followed Zeng Ruo to his house ignorantly. Although this house is not big and a bit old, it is full of warmth.

The little boy consciously found a seat and sat down upright, staring at the food on the table, his stomach was already croaking with hunger, but his strict tutor told him not to touch the chopsticks.

"Come on, Chenchen, go and set the dishes." Zeng Ruo's mother called her son by his nickname, and brought out the last dish from the kitchen and put it on the table.

His name is Chenchen, and he lives up to his name, just like the early rising sun warms people up. Liu Minchong immediately remembered this name in his mind.

"Kids, don't be restrained, treat this place as your own home, be hungry, come, eat first." Zeng Ruo's mother personally arranged the dishes for him, and put the largest piece of meat on the table into his bowl.

"Brother Chenchen eat." Liu Minchong subconsciously wanted to give the delicious food to those who cared.

"He is what the elder brother asked the younger brother to do. You can eat."

Liu Michong looked at Zeng Ruo's mother's kindness, this is what he imagined his mother to be like.

However, after filling his stomach, the adults quickly shattered his dream of being part of this family with the "cruel" reality.

Liu Minchong thinks that he wants to be a part of their family, so he naturally wants to be honest with each other. He is immersed in beautiful fantasies, and he has no defense at all. Under the beautiful words of the adults, he tells his family in every detail information.Then, he was woken up by a slap in the face of reality.

They have notified their parents to come pick them up.Liu Minchong couldn't believe it, those friendly words and bright smiles were all "fake", even Zeng Ruo was "fake".He turned his head and ran into Zeng Ruo's room, and sat there in anger.

Zeng Ruo followed in, closed the door and looked at the frustrated Liu Minchong, who sighed helplessly. Before he could speak, Liu Minchong said in a very aggrieved and very soft voice: "I will still run away, I don't want...to go back to that Home."

Seeing this made Zeng Ruo feel distressed. He thought he had done a sensible thing, but seeing his sad expression, he seemed to have done something wrong.But, I am right, if Zeng is firm in his actions, children should return to their parents, and accept their parents' protection before they grow up and live independently.But, at least not now, not to send him back when he was so conflicted and sad, but to report his safety to his parents first, and let him stay here for a few days to calm down.

Zeng Ruo recalled that when his parents called Liu Minchong's parents, the parents on the phone were very polite, humble and gentle, and kept saying that their children were causing trouble to their family, not like unreasonable bad parents.

It seems that Liu Minchong is too unreasonable to make trouble, and Zeng Ruo can't ask a child to be sensible. He has seen rebellious ones, but he has never seen such rebellious ones at such a young age.

"Where are you going to escape? To the mountains? Have no food, no clothes, and become a disgusting, smelly hairy kid?"

"If you don't want me, that's all I can do." Liu Min turned his back to him, refusing to look at him.

Zeng Ruo was surprised and said it as if he was a villain.

"At least, I was happy at that time." Liu Minchong continued to whisper.

"I also quarreled with my parents, ran away from home, and had the idea of ​​freezing to death outside and not wanting to go home, but when my parents found me, seeing their worried faces, I knew they loved me Yes, all the conflicts have been resolved. Since then, I will never use such stupid methods to scare the person who loves me deeply." Zeng Ruo walked to Liu Minchong, put his hands on his shoulders, and tried to give Liu Minchong He comforted: "Tell your parents well that there is no conflict that cannot be resolved."

……

After being silent for a long time, Liu Minchong was finally willing to turn his head back. At that moment, his bright and penetrating eyes hit Zeng Ruo's chest directly. From the softened eyes, it was read that he had listened.

"Promise me to go back?"

Tears flickered again in Liu Min's flushed eyes. This time, he didn't cry. He looked at Zeng Ruo with aggrieved eyes and asked, "Do you...don't like...smelly hairy kids?"

"Of course, only flies would like the stinky hairy kid." Zeng Ruo smiled wryly, and this is what persuaded Liu Minchong.

"Okay, then I'll go home, I don't want to be a hairy kid that Brother Chenchen hates." Liu Minhong turned his head back: "Brother Chenchen wants to play with me in the future, so I am willing to stay at home."

"En." In order to appease this stubborn little heart as soon as possible, Zeng Ruo agreed without thinking.
