Zai Zai Grocery Store

Lin Dong's voice was too weak, "big brother" didn't hear it, and he was still running and playing with other children. Lin Dong's enthusiasm was hit. He stood still and looked blankly at the children who were playing happily, and he had already taken the first step Now, the second step seems not so difficult, he hesitated for a moment, then ran to "Big Brother" again, shouting: "Big Brother, Big Brother."

The children kept shouting, but the eldest brother still didn't hear it.

Lin Dong chased after him and shouted, "Big brother, big brother."

"Big Brother" finally stopped. He is actually not very old. He looks about seven or eight years old. Although his face has some baby fat, it can already be seen that he is extremely handsome. He will definitely be a handsome guy in the future. He is much taller than Lin Dong. At this moment, looking down at Lin Dong slightly, he asked, "Little brother, are you calling me?"

Lin Dong nodded: "Yeah."

"Big Brother" was full of doubts: "What are you calling me for?"

Lin Dong rubbed his little clothes nervously, and stammered, "Big brother, I want to play games too, take me, take me to play, okay?"

"Big Brother" had never met Lin Dong before, so he asked curiously, "Who are you?"

Lin Dong hurriedly introduced himself: "I am Lin Dong."

"Who is Lin Dong? Whose family's child?"

Lin Dong thought for a moment and replied, "I am a child of my aunt's family."

"Who is your aunt? I don't know her."

"His aunt is my mother." He Xiaochuan ran over suddenly and said to "big brother": "Xinghe, Lin Dong is my younger brother, the younger brother of my fourth uncle. My younger brother is very nice and obedient. Take my younger brother to play." OK?"

Mu Xinghe listened to the words and looked at Lin Dong.

Lin Dong looked at Mu Xinghe nervously, waiting for Mu Xinghe's answer.

Mu Xinghe suddenly smiled, his smile was very clear, and said, "Little brother, call me big brother again."

Lin Dong immediately called obediently: "Big brother."

Mu Xinghe also kept his word, and immediately agreed: "Okay, then I will take you to play."

Lin Dong was overjoyed, his little heart was full of flowers, it was very beautiful, his dark eyes were shining, and his whole appearance was very lively and lovely.

At this time, He Xiaochuan suddenly said: "Xinghe, but my brother can't play games!"

Mu Xinghe looked at Lin Dong and asked, "You don't know how to play?"

Lin Dong froze for a moment, the brilliance just now disappeared in an instant, he drooped his head slightly and said nothing, feeling that everyone would definitely not want to take him to play, but he suddenly heard Mu Xinghe say: "It's okay, big brother will teach you."

Lin Dong immediately raised his eyes to look at Mu Xinghe, his eyes were full of surprise.

Mu Xinghe said, "I'll teach you, I'll teach you how to play games, come here."

Lin Dong nodded hurriedly, walked towards Mu Xinghe, and listened carefully to Mu Xinghe's explanation of the rules of the game. Lin Dong was very good at playing chess, arithmetic, and observing words and colors, but he was very rusty when playing. It took him a long time to learn. , Playing is still stumbling, but this does not affect his happiness at all.

Playing until noon, the friends dispersed. He and He Xiaochuan rushed to Lin Lihua sweating profusely. Lin Lihua asked, "Did you have fun?"

He Xiaochuan nodded and said loudly, "Happy."

Lin Lihua turned to look at Lin Dong: "Lin Dong, what about you?"

Lin Dong nodded, his voice was much lower: "Happy."

Lin Lihua said with a smile: "Have fun and play in the afternoon."

Lin Dong asked cautiously, "Auntie, can I play again?"

"Of course." Lin Lihua reached out and touched Lin Dong's head: "From now on, you can play as long as you want, as long as there is no danger."

Except for his grandfather, Lin Dong had never been treated so warmly before. He nodded obediently and said, "Auntie, I still have to sell things."

"Okay, let you sell things."

Lin Dong smiled, with cute little dimples blooming from the corner of his mouth. When he heard someone coming to buy something, he hurried over to get it for someone. After finishing it, he sat on the stool obediently, his stomach growling.

"Lin Dong, are you hungry?" He Xiaochuan ran over and asked.

Lin Dong nodded.

As if announcing a major historical event, He Xiaochuan said, "I'm hungry too, I want to eat a big steamed bun today!"

Lin Dong also wanted to eat a big steamed bun, but he dared not say it.

At noon, Lin Lihua gave Lin Dong half a steamed bun according to the practice a few days ago, and Lin Dong ate half a steamed bun with vinegared potato shreds. Because he had a lot of exercise today, after eating half a steamed bun and half a bowl of porridge, he would still eat half a steamed bun. Hungry, he looked at Lin Lihua, He Qingzhang and He Xiaochuan, all three of them were eating seriously, and no one paid attention to him.

He turned his eyes to look at the bamboo basket on the small dining table. There were one, two, three, four, four and a half steamed buns in the bamboo basket. His dark eyes were fixed on half a steamed bun, and he couldn't help licking his little lips... Mmm... …He is not full, he still wants to eat, he still wants to eat half a steamed bun, and half a steamed bun will make him full, but he dare not eat.

He sat upright, endured, endured and couldn't help stretching out his little hand towards the bamboo basket. Before he reached the bamboo basket, Lin Lihua called out "Qingzhang", and he quickly retracted his hand in fright. , and then sat obediently, with his head slightly lowered, his heart beating extremely fast, and he completely forgot about hunger.

At this moment, half a white steamed bun suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.

Lin Dong followed the steamed buns and saw Lin Lihua.

Lin Lihua smiled and said, "Eat it. Next time you want to eat, you can take it by yourself. It's okay, just reach out and take it, you know?"

Lin Dong nodded and took it, and started to eat. He was very full and satisfied with this meal. He had never had such a good time and was so full. After eating, he immediately helped Lin Lihua clean up the stool. , He Qingzhang felt ashamed of being so diligent.

He Qingzhang went to Lin Lihua's side and praised Lin Dong quietly, saying, "Lin Dong is really hard to find fault with."

Lin Lihua asked back: "Didn't you still have objections to him before?"

He Qingzhang touched his nose and remained silent.

Lin Lihua likes Lin Dong very much now, and she talked to He Qingzhang a lot, meaning that He Qingzhang should treat Lin Dong like He Xiaochuan, give Lin Dong a good childhood, and let Lin Dong grow up healthily.

He Qingzhang nodded and listened.

After Lin Lihua finished talking, she called out, "Lin Dong."

Lin Dong hurriedly ran to Lin Lihua from the door of the shop and called, "Auntie."

"Are you full?"

"Ah."

"Go and play when you're full, and go with Xiaochuan." He Xiaochuan had already run away.

Lin Dong replied: "Auntie, I'm not going to play, I want to see the store selling things."

"It's okay, let's go play, my aunt is watching here."

"I won't go." Lin Dong insisted, "I'll help my aunt look after the shop."

Lin Lihua smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, it's up to you."

Lin Dong sat obediently in the store. In fact, he wanted to play, but if he went to play, his aunt would be very tired working alone. If she was tired, she would be sick like a grandfather. He didn't want her aunt to get sick, so the whole In the afternoon, he would sit in front of the store and sell things.

As the evening approached, the elementary school students who had just started school paid their tuition fees and came back with new books. The town became lively in an instant. Lin Dong couldn't help being happy when he saw the students coming and going on the road. At this moment, he saw In the morning, his elder brother Mu Xinghe taught him how to play games.

Big brother.

Big brother!

Lin Dong didn't yell, but stood up happily to watch Mu Xinghe, then sat down obediently, and silently said "one, two, three, the wooden man is not allowed to move", and then his body tensed up, and he didn't move at all. Don't move, play games with yourself.

Ah, it's so fun, he still wants to play again, and play with his big brother and them again.

But he played too badly, the big brothers and the others definitely didn't want to play with him anymore, so when there was laughter and joy in the town, he didn't dare to go forward again, so he stood at the gate and looked at the intersection of the town.

"Lin Dong!" At this moment, Mu Xinghe's voice came from the intersection.

Lin Dong's eyes lit up instantly.

Then Mu Xinghe ran over with a group of children, including He Xiaochuan.

"Lin Dong!"

Lin Dong hurried to the road and looked at Mu Xinghe.

Mu Xinghe said, "Let's play a game."

Lin Dong replied without thinking: "Okay!"

After answering, he thought that he was looking at a store, and said, "I'll ask my aunt."

"Go."

Lin Dong ran into the grocery store and called, "Auntie."

Lin Lihua, who was settling accounts, saw what happened outside the shop, and asked, "Did Xinghe come to play with you?"

Lin Dong nodded heavily, his eyes sparkling.

"Then go play."

Lin Dong immediately ran out of the grocery store cheerfully and played with Mu Xinghe and He Xiaochuan. He was so happy. It was the first time someone came to him to play games. He played more vigorously than at noon. Don't move", also played "hide and seek" and "the eagle catches the chicken".

The door of the grocery store is full of laughter.

Unknowingly, the afterglow of the setting sun fell on the road in front of the grocery store, casting a soft halo on the children who were playing around. Lin Dong ran with his short legs giggling in the halo, He completely forgot about east, west, north and south, and suddenly bumped into a Mu Xinghe who was "fighting cock", and only heard a "bang", and Mu Xinghe fell heavily to the ground.

Lin Dong looked back and was immediately frightened.

"Lin Dong, you bumped into Xinghe!"

"Lin Dong! What are you doing? What are you doing hitting Xinghe!"

"Xinghe fell down!"

"Xinghe can't get up!"

"..."

A group of children shouted and rushed to help Mu Xinghe.

"Lin Dong!" He Xiaochuan shouted.

Lin Dong stared blankly at He Xiaochuan in response.

He Xiaochuan ran over to protect Lin Dong behind him, and then looked at Mu Xinghe together with Lin Dong.
