Ant Paradise

Probably during the winter vacation of the third grade of Qu Shile Elementary School, someone gave his brother a set of toys from the Ant Workshop, which contained about [-] to [-] Japanese bow-backed ants.This man wasn't trying to please his brother, he just kept talking to Mrs. Tang, praising that breeding ants would help children develop their observation skills.

Shile listened behind the door, thinking that the person who came was very similar to the TV salesman at that time. These dozens of ants seemed to be of great use, and could raise a future scientist.Mrs. Tang brought her son here. He was practicing the piano just now, and he played a piece of music three or four times incoherently. After finally finishing it, his mother called him from downstairs, "Shili, Auntie Song gave you something nice." .”

He pedaled and ran downstairs, and saw a transparent box filled with blue solids, inside a bunch of small ants, he pursed his lips, and tried to force a stiff smile, "Thank you, auntie." This auntie Song is not very good either. He glanced at it, and said with a smile, "Look, a small piece of land here can still grow bean sprouts."

Mrs. Tang smiled and looked much more sincere than her son, patted his son on the back, and told him, "Take it and play in the yard." She has always hated insects and rats, even the ones that are kept as pets do not like.Later, Shi Le didn't hear what they were talking and laughing. His eyes were full of the blue box, shaking in Shi Li's hand. He saw him go out of the gate and was about to turn into the yard, so he closed the room. He opened the door, opened the frosted window, watched Shili put the ant workshop in a remote corner of the courtyard, looked left and right, rubbed his hands and ran back.

Shi Lefu was stuck to the door again, and when he heard him say, "Mom, I'm going back to practice the piano." He carefully turned down from the window, looked around and ran over there, lying on the withered grass, Look at those ants.They were all huddled together, as if afraid of the cold, Shile's eyes were sharp, and when he saw one of the little ants turned red when he looked closely, he thought it was very special.He picked up the box, put it in a nearby bush, looked at it for a while, and then returned the same way, turning over and going back to the room.

He started to write homework for the winter vacation, and he was a little distracted after writing a few pages. He drew ants on the draft paper. He liked the one with only a little red, so he painted it with a red pen and covered it with a black pen. The effect was not good. He was slightly annoyed.

In a few days until the new year, the weather is even colder. Every day, Shile goes to see the ant colony that his brother has forgotten. They are very vigorous and have not been frozen to death, so Shile moves them under his window. He planned to hide under his bed in a few days.He was looking at the ants, and saw a silver car approaching from a distance, with a license plate number that was all too familiar, it was his dad who was back.He quickly closed the window, and then stuck to the door to listen.

"I thought you weren't coming back." It was Mrs. Tang who came downstairs and looked at her husband with a little surprise.Yu Mingxian had previously told her that she was busy with overseas affairs and most of them would spend the New Year abroad. She also planned to book a plane ticket and bring her son to meet him overseas, but she didn't expect him to come back first, saving her the trouble of going back and forth.After all, it is best to spend the New Year at home.

She asked Shi Li to come down, and Yu Ming picked up his chubby eldest son first, "You're getting heavy again, Li. You need to exercise more." At least he's in the fifth grade, his self-esteem has grown, and he has a concept of fat, thin, beautiful and ugly. Polite to his father which pot does not open and which pot he lifts, he kicks his legs and escapes from his father's hand. "Here, I bought it for you." His father took out a blue down jacket from the suitcase, "Do you want to wear it?" After politely leaving the little fat man, he asked, "Where's Shile?"

Mrs. Tang knew that he must have bought a gift for that kid too. Although she was unhappy, she was not as unforgiving as usual during the festival, "It's in his room."
