"Dongdong, Dongdong, wake up, Dongdong."

Hearing his aunt's shout, Lin Dong slowly opened his eyes and saw his aunt sitting on the bed. The aunt gave him a warm smile, and he called out softly, "Aunt."

"Hey, get up quickly." Lin Lihua stretched out her hand and pulled Lin Dong up to sit up.

Lin Dong responded, "Okay."

"Get up and let's go to school."

"it is good."

"Go to school and sing."

"it is good."

Lin Dong answered "Yes" to everything. The baby's fat little face was full of sleepiness, and he was kind of dazed and cute. He didn't even understand Lin Lihua's meaning, so he knew he was going to get up. He held the little clothes in his little hands. I have to wear it by myself, Lin Lihua said with a smile: "Come here, aunt will wear it for you."

"I can wear it myself."

"It's okay, aunt will wear it for you."

"it is good."

Lin Dong didn't insist either, and stood up from the bed. Wearing pajamas dotted with little yellow stars on his small body, he threw himself into Lin Lihua's arms, obediently letting Lin Lihua dress him. He hasn't had anyone dress him for a long time. The clothes are very comfortable to wear, especially now that the weather is getting colder and colder, the clothes are thicker, his arms and legs are too short, it takes a lot of effort to wear them every time, he is always tired and wheezing, wishing he could grow up soon , easily dresses like a grown-up.

But today he was not tired, because his aunt put them on for him. After putting on the clothes and shoes, he felt a little excited. He stood in front of the bed and looked at He Xiaochuan who was still sleeping.

He raised his face and said, "Auntie, Xiao Chuan hasn't woken up yet."

Lin Lihua smiled and said, "It's okay, let him sleep."

"Isn't he going to school?"

"Did you forget that today is Sunday, so you don't have to go to class?" Lin Lihua said while flattening the quilt.

Lin Dong lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his face and said, "Auntie, I don't have classes on Sunday either."

Lin Lihua smiled and said: "Yeah, you don't go to class, you are going to practice singing. Just now your school's music teacher called and asked you to go to school to practice singing, rehearse and so on, so that you can compete in the city When the time comes, you will be able to get good grades, and you will be able to get big red flowers."

After hearing this, Lin Dong immediately said: "Okay, I'm going to practice singing, I practice well, and I want to sing very well."

"Great! Let's go, let's eat."

"Ah."

Lin Dong followed Lin Lihua out for breakfast. After breakfast, Lin Lihua was going to send Lin Dong to school, but someone came to buy red beans and mung beans temporarily. These needed to be weighed and settled. He Qingzhang went to He's house to see Grandma Xiaochuan again early in the morning. She couldn't go away for a while.

Lin Dong was used to such scenes, so he understood what Lin Lihua meant, and said crisply, "Auntie, I'll go to school by myself."

Lin Lihua turned her head and asked, "Are you okay?"

"I can do it. I come back from school several times by myself."

Lin Lihua thought about it, Jinli Town is full of acquaintances, and Lin Dong delivers groceries everywhere on weekends, and it’s fine, so she said: “Then take your time, don’t be playful when you walk through the vegetable field, aunt Watching you on the road."

"it is good."

Lin Dong nodded.

Lin Lihua confessed again: "Don't run around, just go to school, you know?"

"know."

Lin Dong walked towards the school with his small schoolbag on his back.

Lin Lihua just started to weigh the red beans and mung beans for the guests to break up the vinegar. She had time to stand in the middle of the road and look towards Jinli Primary School. Seeing Lin Dong walking obediently with a small schoolbag on her back, she felt extremely relieved.

Lin Dong himself was also happy in his heart. The air in Jinli Town in the morning was fresh and quiet, and he could hear the sound of leaves falling from the branches. A leaf fell on his shoulder, and the breeze gently blew the leaf away. The blow landed on the ground, rustled the ground, and floated far away. He looked at the leaf and said to himself: "Little leaf, you just fell on my shoulder."

Ye Ye naturally wouldn't answer him. He stared for a while, and heard his aunt's voice behind him: "Dongdong, what's the matter? Why don't you leave?"

He turned around and said, "I'm leaving!"

After finishing speaking, he tightened the belt of his schoolbag with his little hands, ran up, and ran straight towards the school. When he arrived at the school, he looked around in a daze, thought for a while, and went directly to the teacher's office, but the office was closed, and he ran to the art classroom again. Finally, I found the music teacher, and also found the other three children.

After a while, Qiqi also came. Everyone listened to the teacher's rap and sang, and then sang along to the music. Lin Dong found the beat right away, but Qiqi and others always made mistakes. I used the weekend to practice, and I practiced like this for a month. In fact, I practiced for five or six days, and finally I will go to the city to participate in the competition.

Qiqi, who likes to show off very much, immediately let the residents of Jinli Town, East Street, West Street, South Street, North Street, and North Street know that he and Lin Dong are going to the city to participate in a children's singing competition.

So people in the whole town would ask about this when they saw Lin Dong and others, even Mu Xinghe, Jiang Xiaojun and He Xiaochuan were asked. The three children kicked Qiqi's ass while the adults were not paying attention. Cried loudly on Lin Dong, before crying for a while, Mu Xinghe pulled him, let him cry on the wall, and after crying for a while, he automatically recovered, and played with Lin Dong and the other four.

Mu Xinghe asked Lin Dong: "When will you participate in the competition?"

Lin Dong replied, "Tomorrow."

"Are you going by yourself?"

"I can't find a place by myself, my aunt will take me there."

"Is Xiao Chuan going too?"

"Well, I will accompany Lin Dong with my father and mother."

Lin Dong nodded happily. This feeling of being valued made him feel full of something in his heart, soft and warm like clouds in spring.

Mu Xinghe said, "I'll go too."

Jiang Xiaojun said, "I'll go too."

So the next morning, when Lin Lihua's family and Qiqi's family walked towards the bus station in the center of the town, Mu Xinghe and Jiang Xiaojun followed suit. After chasing Mu Xinghe and Jiang Xiaojun with a broom, he stopped Mu Xinghe and Jiang Xiaojun from chasing Lin Dong. After Lin Dong followed Lin Lihua and others into the car, he lay on the car window and said to Mu Xinghe outside the car window. : "Xinghe, I'll come back from singing and buy you delicious food."

Mu Xinghe laughed very handsomely, and asked: "Okay, tell me, what delicious food do you buy for brother?"

Lin Dong thought for a while and said, "I'll bring you candied haws!"

"Do you have money?"

"I have money, I have 12 yuan and [-] cents!" Lin Dong patted his pocket seriously.

"Okay, come back, I'll take you to play."

"See you."

"Goodbye."

The bus started, and Lin Dong lay on the window.

Mu Xinghe and Jiang Xiaojun chased a few steps forward, watching the bus swaying away, the two shouted: "Sing well!"

Lin Dong could no longer see Mu Xinghe, but he heard the voice, so he responded with one word in the car: "Okay."

This "yes" was crisp and milky, but it was very sudden to others. The passengers in the car looked at Lin Dong one after another. Lin Dong thought that his voice was too loud and disturbed others.

The teacher said that it is not allowed to make loud noises in public places, so he said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, everyone." Then he leaned on Lin Lihua's shoulder, turned his head slightly, revealing a pair of shining eyes, carefully observing the passengers on the bus, and saw the passengers They smiled friendlyly, he was not afraid anymore, he started to feel a little embarrassed, he put his little face behind Lin Lihua's shoulder and did not move, which made Lin Lihua and He Qingzhang laugh.

Lin Lihua even reached out and hugged Lin Dong into her arms. After a while, Lin Dong forgot her shyness, and got out of Lin Lihua's arms, looking out of the window, at the big trees, houses, crowds, and other roads that flashed by outside the window. Or curved or straight road, the road stretches infinitely, and I don't know where it leads.

But he knew that he was going to sing and go on TV, and he would be able to find his parents when he went on TV. He felt a kind of festival-like excitement in his heart. He came to Jinlin City TV station in excitement, and was terrified when he arrived at the TV station. , so many adults, so many children, Lin Dongqiqi, He Xiaochuan and others looked at a loss.

The music teacher explained to the parents of the five children that there are 25 schools participating in this children's singing competition, and there are a total of 150 students. Because there are chorus and solo, there are only more than 30 programs in total. Among them, Qiqi and the other two children sang in chorus, and Lin Dong and the rest of the children sang and danced solo.

"There are so many people!" Qiqi's mother said worriedly: "Then can we Qiqi win the award? Everyone looks very good."

The music teacher said with a smile: "It's one thing to look great, but it's another thing to be infectious. It's definitely not enough to have skills without emotions."

"How to say?" Qiqi's mother didn't quite understand.

The music teacher explained to everyone: "The judges told me about the scoring criteria, the total score is [-], the three scoring criteria, the first singing performance is [-] points, this is mainly to test the children's comprehension ability and Expressiveness, that is, singing songs with infectious power, if you can get this score, you can basically win the award, because the next two points for the song selection and two points for the stage, you can get it without any mistakes."

Hearing that Qiqi's mother looked at Qiqi.

Lin Lihua looked at Lin Dong.

Lin Dong was a little nervous, and his little hands couldn't help but grabbed Lin Lihua's clothes.

The music teacher said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, let's go, let's put on makeup, put on makeup."

"Do you still need makeup?" Lin Lihua asked.

"Yeah, how do you go on TV without makeup? Just make it simple."

"..."

Due to the large number of participating children and the lack of make-up personnel on TV stations, each school is asked to prepare their own make-up in advance. Of course, it is also because of the children, so TV stations don’t care about makeup. Authentic side.

Lin Dongqiqi and other five children were taken to the noisy dressing room. They watched the children dressed up one by one. The five children looked at each other, and the slightest thing in their eyes was dislike for each other. Qiqi directly Said: "Lin Dong, why are you still wearing a school uniform?"

Lin Dong replied honestly: "This is not my school uniform."

"Whose is this?"

"Xinghe's, Xinghe's last year, he didn't wear it anymore, he gave it to me." Because Lin Dong said that Mu Xinghe's school uniform was good-looking, Mu Xinghe took off his school uniform for Lin Dong to wear. It was too big, so Mu Xinghe gave Lin Dong his school uniform from last year, but it was still too big.

Qiqi said directly: "You dress like you are singing in a big show!"

Lin Dong is used to wearing big clothes, and he no longer pays attention to size. Instead, he said, "The teacher said it's okay to wear like this."

"Look at the beautiful skirts that everyone else is wearing." Qiqi pointed to a circle of students and said, "How pretty, look at you."

"That's a girl." Lin Dong pointed out the key point.

Qiqi said: "Okay, boys still wear small suits, and small suits look good."

Lin Dong frowned and said, "Small suits are so expensive."

"Don't you have 12 yuan and [-] cents?"

"You can't buy a small suit for 12 yuan and [-] cents."

"Well, that's fine."

"Stop talking, kids, come over and put on makeup." The music teacher called Lin Dong and others to sit in front of the makeup mirror and give Lin Dong Qiqi makeup one by one.

Lin Dongqiqi put on makeup and came out of the dressing room, startling Lin Lihua, He Qingzhang and other adults. He Xiaochuan opened his eyes wide, then laughed loudly, hugged Lin Lihua's leg and said, "Mom, look, look at Lin Lihua. Donglian has become a monkey's ass, and he even puts on lipstick! So does Qiqi, hahaha."

Lin Dong is embarrassed.

Qiqi didn't take it seriously, thinking that she was beautiful.

Lin Lihua squatted in front of Lin Dong, and saw that Lin Dong's delicate eyebrows, white face, and pink lips had all changed, into big thick eyebrows, a small white face, and big red lips. It was almost like a back butt, Lin Lihua The corner of her mouth twitched, and she said to the music teacher, "Teacher, is this makeup too thick?"

"It's not thick, it's just right when the light shines in a while."

Lin Lihua didn't argue, but explained the situation to the music teacher. She didn't want Lin Dong to put on such heavy makeup. The music teacher thought it didn't matter, and the most important thing was to sing well, so she let Lin Lihua do it herself.

Lin Lihua secretly carried Lin Dong into the cubicle of the bathroom while going to the bathroom, sat on the toilet, and used the bathroom to wipe off all the blush, lipstick, and eyebrow marks on Lin Dong's face.

Lin Dong said: "It can't be so thick, my parents won't recognize me."

Lin Lihua smiled and said, "Yes."

Lin Dong thought for a while and said, "Wipe it all off."

"That won't work, the teacher will be angry."

"OK then."

Lin Lihua wiped off a lot of makeup on Lin Dong's little face, and she looked very good-looking. Lin Lihua liked Lin Dong more and more, and praised from the bottom of her heart: "Our Dongdong is so beautiful."

Lin Dong likes to be praised by others, especially by his aunts and uncles. Every time his aunts and uncles smile at him, he feels that the world is so safe, like having an umbrella in his hand on a rainy day. Vortex is clearly visible.

Lin Lihua said: "My aunt will be sitting in the auditorium later, you and Qiqi will follow the teacher backstage, listen to the teacher, sing well, don't be nervous, you understand?"

Lin Dong nodded.

"Do you know what song to sing?"

"I know." Lin Dong replied.

"Okay, let's go."

"Ah."

Lin Lihua hugged Lin Dong into her arms, sneaked out of the bathroom, handed Lin Dong over to the music teacher, and brought He Xiaochuan to the auditorium with He Qingzhang and others. They sat anxiously and watched the host come on stage , started the children's singing competition at the end of this year.

Lin Lihua couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Qingzhang, tell me, why don't I go to the backstage to accompany Dongdong, Dongdong is timid, I'm afraid—"

He Qingzhang said: "The other children's parents are here, so it's not good for you to go alone."

"But Dongdong is different from ordinary children. He is very timid."

"Don't worry, he's smarter and calmer than ordinary kids. If he's timid, he's scared by adults. As long as no one scares him, he'll be fine."

"But--"

"Let me tell you, at this moment, maybe a group of children are nervous and afraid, but Lin Dong is not nervous, maybe he is comforting Qiqi."

The facts were exactly as He Qingzhang said, Qiqi was scared because there were too many people, Lin Dong said beside him: "Qiqi, don't cry."

"I didn't cry."

"Don't be afraid either."

"I'm scared," Kiki said.

Lin Dong said, "Don't be afraid, you can sing better than him."

"Really?" Kiki asked.

Lin Dong nodded heavily: "You really sing very well."

Qiqi felt confident in an instant, and then asked: "Then will you give me candied haws?"

"I don't have candied haws."

"You said you wanted to buy candied haws for Xinghe, will you buy them for me too?"

"I—" Lin Dong was reluctant to buy it for Qiqi.

Qiqi added: "You all have 12 yuan and [-] cents."

Lin Dong thought for a while and said, "Then you sing well, and when you finish singing, I'll buy you a small string."

Qiqi said: "You buy me a big bunch."

Lin Dong said reluctantly, "Big skewers are so expensive, you can't finish them."

"I can finish it."

"You can't finish it, it will expire." Lin Dong said seriously: "The teacher said that food should not be wasted."

Qiqi hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay then, let's make small skewers."

"Well, you sing well, sing well."

"Okay." After Qiqi agreed, after a while, Qiqi seemed to think of something and said, "Lin Dong, don't tell Xinghe, don't tell Xinghe that I want your candied haws, otherwise Xinghe will fight Mine, will kick my ass, I can't beat Xinghe."

Lin Dong nodded and agreed: "Okay, I won't talk to Xinghe."

"We pull the hook and keep it secret."

Kiki held out his little finger.

Lin Dong also stretched out his little finger.

The two little fingers, one thick and one thin, hooked together, and Lin Dong and Qiqi read together: "If you pull the hook and hang yourself, it will not change for 100 years."

Only after Lin Dongqi finished pulling the hook, the music teacher called out the names of Qiqi and another little boy, telling them to get ready to go on stage.

The author has something to say:

I saw a girl say that my writing is sloppy, and I wrote it very clearly in the copywriting. This is a daily warmth and growth series. I have written upgrades, slaps, and revenge with strong conflicts before, but I I can’t always write in the same category, so this article is my first attempt. Seeing what the previous author has to say, you should know that I feel uneasy when I write this article. I was able to write it down all the way, thanks to the support of Damei Niu’s comments (Super I love you!!) So this article will not have a big conflict like the previous ones. If there is, it must be a conflict between the characters’ emotions. The main line of this article is the growth of the cubs. Don’t get it wrong.
