all the way

Liu Xia went home for three days, and his biggest feeling was: "My dear cat, you are such a good boy. If you were like Xiaoyun and Xiaolei back then, my uncle might have died."

However, the views of the rest of the family were completely different from Liu Xia, Xiumei said: "When the cat sees you, he should be as obedient as possible, but do you know how angry he is when you don't leave the house?

Let's not talk about it in a few months, let's just say that he will leave later.

At that time, as long as you didn't leave the house, the family members couldn't see him at a glance, so he ran to the east road by himself, chasing him faster and faster, and he had to chase him several times a day.

Later, when you went to Rongze to go to school, every time you were supposed to come back but didn't come back, and when you came back and left again, he would cry, his voice was hoarse, and he couldn't be coaxed.

Later, I stopped crying, and just stood at the slope every day and watched the road eastward for you to come back. It was like losing my soul. My mother said, if he is like that, he might as well cry, and it makes me feel uncomfortable to see him.

My mother didn't allow me to tell you these things at the time, for fear that you would never go to school again.

When he grows up, he will be wild and bold, and dare to climb up to the top of the tree, scare our uncle and your elder brother, and dare not shout, and dare not shout, go up, that branch is old and thin He couldn't support the adults, so he could only stand under the tree and wait for him to catch him if he fell.

Our uncle said that your eldest brother was quite aggressive when he was a child, but he was not as bold as a cat.

A few days before you came back, he saw a cluster of goji berries on the opposite side of the cliff, which was particularly red, so he climbed up again. Xiaowei couldn't control him, and told Xiaorui to come back and call my uncle and your elder brother. When I ran away, He has almost climbed to the top.

This time even our uncle was frightened. Your elder brother took a rope up to try to get him down. He was afraid that your elder brother would overtake him and climbed faster and faster. Your elder brother dared not move anymore, our mother and I. My legs are so weak.

After he came down, our mother spanked his butt a few times, and he still smiled at our mother with a cheeky face, showing me how many goji berries he had picked and how red he was, saying that you are coming back soon, and he wants to save it for you to eat.

You said, the upside-down cliff is so high, and the bottom is full of grass and stones. If he falls, will he still be able to pay?

Oops, let's not talk about it, you don't know how much energy he usually spends, and you don't pay for your life by scaring people to death. If you don't believe me, ask him, cat, tell your uncle, did mother wrong you? "

Mao'er stared at Liu Xia, then threw his head into his arms, no matter how much Xiumei called him, he would not look up.

Liu Xia picked him up, but he still couldn't get up after tying his head in Liu Xia's neck. Liu Xia rubbed his chin against his hair and said, "Boy, don't dare to be so foolish and bold in the future. It's dangerous to fall upside down on a cliff. Even the grass doesn’t grow well, and there aren’t a few stalks for you to catch, what if you fall down, what do you think?”

The cat said in a muffled voice: "That wolfberry tree is very big. Didn't you say it's delicious?"

Liu Xia forced his little head up, looked at him and said, "No matter how big the wolfberry is, it tastes better. If you fall, do you think my uncle will eat it again?"

Seeing that Liu Xia seemed a little angry, the cat rubbed against his forehead and acted coquettishly: "Well~, I just want to pick goji berries for you! Well goji berries, I just want you to eat them all the time." !"

Liu Xia was rubbed by the little guy so softly in his heart, he wanted to hold it up seriously and teach him something before he collapsed, patting his little butt and asking: "Does grandma spank hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt. Grandma is so reluctant to hit me. She yells very hard, and it doesn't hurt at all." Mao'er saw that Liu Xia's face returned to normal, and immediately came alive, answering the question very proudly, and Chang'e made a face at Sun Chang'e who was feeding Liu Yun egg custard.

Sun Chang'e scolded with a smile: "Little turtle, become a genius! If you dare to give me such a hard time again, I will beat your butt into eight petals with the soles of your shoes, and I think you will make me look good again." No, your uncle knows if it hurts when I hit someone with the sole of my shoe, you can ask him."

Liu Xia nodded seriously: "Grandma's shoe soles are terrible, and it's loud and painful when spanking, if it wasn't for your uncle and your third uncle who beat me for me, my butt would have been beaten into eight petals long ago. "

Mao'er was even more proud: "When my grandma wants to hit me, my brother Xiaowei will also block it for me. Grandma can't hit me, haha, grandma can't hit me."

Liu Wei, who was helping Xiumei push Liu Lei on the small bench to eat egg custard, turned her head and said, "If you dare to go upside down again, when grandma hits you, I will help her hold you down and let grandma take off your pants." spanked."

Liu Wei's timely dismantling finally made Mao'er realize his mistake, and he said to Liu Xia: "I pulled out the root of that wolfberry tree, and there will be no wolfberries there in the future, and I won't fall down again." I fell on the cliff, don't be afraid, uncle."

Satisfied, Liu Xia hugged the cat and walked towards the river: "This is a good boy, let's go, Lao Nuan, let's go to the water for a while."

Seeing Liu Xia and Mao'er playing and playing in the river, Xiumei said to Liu Kui: "Mao'er is so old that I can't bear to say a word about him, so if I have a child in the future, I will be so charming." What is it like?"

Liu Kui said: "That's hard to say. It's not like you don't know that Yao'er doesn't like children at all. He only loves cats. He has no patience with other children."

On Saturday night, Liu Chuan and Su Xiaohui came back together.

The two bought some small things for Liu Yu's wedding day, colored paper, garlands, and a stack of warm-colored flower paper, as well as small toys for Liu Yun and Liu Lei, and small snacks for the children.

Flower paper is pasted on the wall around the new bed and used as a bed curtain, which is equivalent to the curtains of Liu Xia and his kang for a week;

As soon as Liu Yun and Liu Lei saw the snack package, they became honest, followed Liu Xin, and the three little ones sat in the corner of the kang to share the snacks by themselves, and soon sprinkled the instant noodle powder and seasoning everywhere.

Seeing two Optimus Primes, big and small, Liu Chuan was as surprised as a child, and put the two Transformers in various poses, most of which were fighting postures. After playing for a long time, he returned the big Optimus Prime to the cat Son.

After knowing the real price of Optimus Prime, Liu Chuan said to Liu Xia: "Yaoer, you are really willing to give up. After you work for one year, it is only 56 yuan per month for the official grade, and only 46 yuan per month in the first year." !"

Liu Xia said embarrassingly: "I won't buy it in the future, this time the main reason is to apologize to the cat for coming back late."

Su Xiaohui hadn't seen her two sons for three weeks, so she couldn't think about it, but within two hours of getting along with the two little guys, she resolutely announced that she would be in charge of the family's affairs related to meals for the next month or so The condition is that she will not be allowed to take her two sons with her at other times except sleeping at night.

But Liu Yun and Liu Lei overfulfilled their mother's request: it was time to go to bed, and they both refused to go to their cave with Liu Chuan and Su Xiaohui, either with grandma or auntie, anyway they just went around in circles and refused to follow Mom and Dad go.

Su Xiaohui was so uncomfortable that she was about to cry.

A large group of people helped send Liu Yun and Liu Lei to Liu Chuan's house. Sun Chang'e and Xiu Mei coaxed them for a long time, and promised a lot of benefits, including letting Liu Chuan and Liu Xia stand in the yard with them in their arms tomorrow. They peed on the big persimmon tree next to them, and the two eagerly asked Sun Chang'e and Xiumei to leave.

Once out of Liu Chuan's house, Chang'e Sun pointed to the cat and said to Liu Xia, "It's all a good thing that the cat is a little coward, and he led Xiao Xin to stand on the tree all day long to pee farther than anyone else. Xiaoyun and Xiaolei also learned it."

The cat said confidently: "My uncle taught me that standing on a tree to urinate and let the wind blow the chicken is beautiful. My uncle also said that the higher the urination and the farther it is, the more children will be born in the future. If you can't urinate Far, in the future, Guang will give birth to Nier and not to give birth to children, isn't it uncle?"

Liu Xia also said to Sun Chang'e confidently: "Mom, you told me this."

Sun Chang'e slapped Liu Xia on the back: "Little Turtle, I told you that you will have a baby soon after peeing. Did I tell you to pee on a tree?"

Liu Xia laughed and picked up the cat, put it on his back, and ran towards the toilet: "Run, hurry up, your grandma is being unreasonable, let's not tell her, standing on the ground is not as far away as standing on a tree to piss." Tomorrow, let’s go pee on that big pear tree, two miles away, and we’ll have a lot of babies and ask your grandma to take a look.”

The cat yelled and booed: "Oh——, the urine is high, there are many babies, and there are a lot of babies——"

In the eager anticipation of Liu Xia and his family, Liu Yu returned on the evening of July 16th; and Liu Ling and Liu Hai returned on the afternoon of July 17th.

When meeting Liu Ling and Liu Hai on the road east of Liu Changchun's house, the first thing Liu Xia saw was Liu Hai's hair, which seemed to be longer than Chang'e Sun's.

Liu Hai has been in Kyoto for more than five years, and he looks like he is from the city. He is also wearing jeans and a white T-shirt this time. He has a beautiful figure, but his hair is very long. You can use a rubber band to grab a small braid at the back of your head. Compared with Liu Ling, who is standing next to him in a clean and refreshing army summer uniform, with short hair and scalp, it is a world of difference.

Liu Xia pressed Liu Ling's shoulders and jumped a high, holding Liu Ling crookedly: "Fifth Brother, I miss you so much."

Liu Ling held Liu Xia in her arms and strangled him tightly: "Fifth brother can also miss your child. Those few days frightened Wu brother, and I was always afraid that something would happen to you. That's all right."

Liu Xia smiled and said, "Why did something happen? Although I didn't get to participate, I know that the order of the team in my school is very good. Brother, don't worry about me anymore. I'm going to be nineteen soon, and I've grown up a long time ago." big."

Liu Hai laughed at him: "Hey, look how big you are, the two students you teach are older than you, why are you bragging!"

Liu Xia turned to face Liu Hai, stroked his chin for a careful look, and then deliberately said in Mandarin, "Oh!? Decadent artist temperament! I adore me to death!"

Liu Hai passed by and pinched Liu Xia's neck, the two twisted into a ball, Liu Yu had already snatched Liu Ling's and Liu Hai's bags, and the two of them walked together with their arms around their shoulders.

Catching Liu Xia's hand, Mao'er looked at Liu Hai several times before saying, "Uncle Six, your hair is really burning."

Liu Yu said: "That's right, it's much more than the big steamed buns I kept the year before last."

Liu Ling smiled and said: "Don't scare him, Xiao Hai is just thinking about it here, how can he keep his hair in front of our uncle!"

The two arrived at home at 06:30 in the afternoon. The dinner was already prepared. Usually, they would leave it for a while to cool down before eating. Today, it was earlier. The family sat in the yard and ate slowly while talking.

After the meal, Liu Ling and Liu Hai spread all the gifts they brought back on the kang in the main room, and the whole family enjoyed them together.

Liu Ling first put a camera on the window sill: "This is what Company Commander Chen asked me to bring back. He said he couldn't come to our house to play, and asked me to take some pictures of our place for him to see. I didn't want to take it at first, but then I thought, The fourth brother is getting married, the second brother must come back, we happened to take a family portrait, so I took it."

Liu Ling didn't bring much this time, except for snacks, he only bought a set of summer clothes for Liu Changqing and Liu Changchun, and most of his money was sent back in advance for Liu Yu to prepare for her wedding.

The reason for buying clothes for the three elders was because on the day of Liu Yu's wedding, the three of them had to accept the newlyweds' kneeling in public, so they couldn't wear too shabby clothes.

However, he did not expect that Zeng Guangtong bought several sets of clothes when he came back, not only from Liu Changqing and his elders, but also from Liu Kui and Xiumei.

Clothes were only part of Zeng Guangtong's gift, and he and Zeng Huaichen and his wife separated and asked Liu Hai to bring back gifts to Liu Yu: 300 yuan for Zeng Guangtong and 100 yuan for Zeng Huaichen and his wife.

Zeng Guangtong asked Liu Hai to bring a message to Liu Changqing and Liu Changchun: He is an elder, so he should give a gift himself; Zeng Huaichen has been to Liujialing, and Liu Yu has also been to Zeng's house in Kyoto. Zeng Huaichen and Liu Yu are of the same generation and get along very well. They are friends, so Zeng Huaichen and his wife presented a gift alone as friends.

But everyone in the family knew that Zeng Guangtong was worried about their family's lack of money, so he helped them arrange Liu Yu's marriage smoothly in a disguised form.

But these were not all of Zeng Guangtong’s presents. He asked Liu Hai to wait for him to come back before returning home. The most important thing was to ask Liu Hai to bring back the gift he gave Liu Changqing: a complete set of carving tools brought back from abroad, five pieces of different textures Jade stones of different colors, a pair of white mahjong tiles, and a colorful and dignified Duan inkstone.

Zeng Guangtong had already sent Liu Changqing a set of carving tools, and he sent another set this time. He asked Liu Hai to tell him that he didn't know good or bad, but he bought it when he saw how beautiful this set was abroad.

As for the jade and mahjong blanks, Liu Hai said to Liu Changqing: "Uncle Zeng asked you to engrave two chapters for him, one engraving 'Xifengren' and the other engraving his name, and he said he let you decide which font to engrave.

Which of these stones is suitable for you to use, he will win in two chapters. He said that if you carve him badly, you have to pay him the stone. If you carve both of them with one stone, the four stones He doesn't want it anymore, just take it as your wages, he said that there are so many things anyway, he wants two good seals, let you figure it out.

Uncle Zeng said that the mahjong tiles are for you to practice. He said that you haven’t practiced for so many years. "

As for that inkstone, except for Liu Xin, Liu Yun, and Liu Lei, everyone carefully held it and looked at it, and everyone sighed in the same way: "It's so beautiful!"

Liu Changqing accepted Zeng Guangtong's gift, and he had no choice but to take it back. It was impossible to return it, but these gifts were indeed too expensive, and he felt uneasy.

Liu Hai seemed to have read his mind, and said, "Uncle, Da Bo Zeng wanted me to tell you that he didn't lose his entire family to buy these things for you. The inkstone and stones were given to him by others, and he let me buy them because he didn't need them." I’ll bring it back for you; this time he went to those countries in Southeast Asia to hold art exhibitions, and he sold many paintings. I heard from a person who went with him that Uncle Zeng sold a pair of "Children Respecting Buddha" More than 20 yuan, and a pair of lotus paintings sold for tens of thousands."

Xiumei was stunned: "My God, just a painting, if you don't eat or drink, how much is it?"

Liu Hai said: "Sister-in-law, that is a work of art, do you understand art? Art is priceless!"

Maoer asked Liu Xia: "Uncle, what is art? Why is it so valuable?"

Liu Xia felt that the art he understood was definitely not as accurate as Liu Hai's, so he went back to the cave dwelling where they lived, and the brothers sat down on the big kang to chat, and Liu Xin led Liu Yun and Liu Lei on the kang. When Jiaojiao was playing with Little Optimus Prime and a bunch of small toys, Liu Xia asked Liu Hai to talk to them about art.

From the origin of art to the present art genre, Liu Hai talked a lot of things that made Liu Xia dizzy, and he didn't understand what art really is. On the contrary, Maoer understood: "Uncle Liu, you've been talking for a long time. , that is to say, something that can only be seen and played, but cannot be used is art, right?"

Several other people laughed, and Liu Wei said, "Mao'er, if you were so smart when you were writing essays, you wouldn't go back and get [-] cents."

Liu Rui said: "It's better for the teacher to see how he writes, otherwise he won't be able to eat sixty cents."

Liu Hai gritted his teeth and looked at Mao'er gloomyly, saying, "Mao'er, did you have a grudge against Sixth Uncle in your previous life? Why would you demolish my platform?"

Liu Kui patted Liu Hai's head and said, "Xiao Hai, I heard you mean the same thing, but I didn't say anything, the boy is young, honest and honest, he said it." He pawed Liu Hai a few more times His hair: "Your hair is too long. I'll shave it for you tomorrow. If my uncle notices it in two days, I guess you won't be able to explain it."

Liu Hai retreated all the way as if his ass was burned, hugged his head and shouted: "Brother, I managed to stay so long, you can't be so cruel, my classmates are like this, in fact, it's like this in many art circles , Why didn’t I win? If my uncle fixes me, you can intercede for me.”

Liu Kui said: "But boy, it's mainly because you are like this that he doesn't look good!"

Liu Xia said, "That's right, men are not men and women are not women!"

The cat followed up and said, "You look like a second-rate man!"

The room was full of chaos, Liu Hai rushed over and pinched Liu Xia's neck, Liu Xia was unprepared, and was crushed by Liu Hai, who was so loud that Liu Hai couldn't breathe.

The cat crawled over and rode on Liu Hai's body, trying to pull him off his uncle, but failed due to lack of strength, so he opened his mouth and bit Liu Hai's shoulder.

Liu Hai yelled in pain and jumped off the kang and ran around. When he came back, he picked up the cat, put one hand on his stomach and held him in the air like a golden cudgel, circling around, not letting him down if he didn't admit his mistake.

Seeing the cat being held up in a circle, Liu Xin thought it was so beautiful, and shouted that she wanted Liu Hai to hold him high;

Liu Yun and Liu Lei jumped up and down on the kang and screamed high;

Liu Ling got up and held Liu Xin, Liu Kui and Liu Yu held Liu Yun and Liu Lei;

Liu Xia went to rescue the dizzy Mao'er who was still insisting on arguing with Liu Hai.

Sun Chang'e shouted outside: "Baby, the kiln is about to collapse. Let's see what time it is. It's time to sleep. Let's play again tomorrow!"
