Lin Lihua understood Lin Dong's words, but she didn't understand why Lin Dong said such a sentence suddenly, and asked in surprise, "Who are you going to hit?"

Lin Dong cried and said, "Hit Uncle."

"What uncle?"

"Hit Uncle Ogawa, I'll wash him!"

Lin Lihua asked confusedly, "Why beat him?"

Lin Dong cried and said angrily: "He made my aunt sick, I'll beat him!"

It turned out that this was the case, Lin Lihua's heart softened when she heard it, and she softened into a ball of white cotton candy, so sweet that it was a little astringent. With a little strength in her palm, she stroked the back of Lin Dong's head and brought Lin Dong into her arms.

After a while, I heard Lin Dong's whining sound. This child must be frightened by her current appearance. Her heart and eyes are both sour and happy. This little cub's heart is soft, warm and kind. , Why is it so cute? She rubbed Lin Dong's little head distressedly, and said, "Don't cry, don't cry, a man, you can't cry so much."

Lin Dong cried and said, "I'm not a man."

"Then what are you?"

"I'm a child."

Lin Lihua laughed with a "puchi" and said, "Okay, okay, you are a child, so don't cry."

"Ah."

Lin Dong wiped his tears with his hand, and stood up straight.

Lin Lihua took out a roll of money from under the pillow, including fifty, twenty, ten yuan, and coins worth one and fifty cents. This is Lin Dong's money, and she asked, "You want to give it to aunt? "

"Well, treat my aunt."

Lin Lihua smiled: "Auntie recovers, I will return it to you."

Lin Dong wiped away his tears again: "I don't want it, I will buy meat for my aunt, if my aunt eats fat, my aunt will be fine."

"Auntie is already well."

"No, my aunt has lost weight."

"Then you don't want money?"

"No more."

"Didn't you save money to take the train to find your parents? Don't look for them anymore?"

Lin Dong replied without hesitation: "Look, I will give this to my aunt first, and I will save money in the future. When I grow up, I will work and earn a lot of money. Then I will take the train and fly, and then I will look for it."

Listening to Lin Dong's childish words, Lin Lihua's eyes couldn't help but softened. She took Lin Dong's slightly fleshy little hand and squeezed it gently. She herself is very rough, and sometimes she is narrow-minded. Like everyone else, she thinks that it is impossible to raise children. Raising in vain, at least it must be useful to herself, but she can’t be selfish to Lin Dong who is pure in heart. She is willing to raise Lin Dong, even if Lin Dong leaves her halfway, she is also willing. She looked at Lin Dong and said: " Take it, Auntie gave it to you."

Lin Dong heard the words and obediently stretched out his small hand to take it.

Lin Lihua smiled and said: "Take it, you can buy whatever you want, spend it yourself, don't be fooled by Xiao Chuan and the others."

Lin Dong nodded.

Lin Lihua stretched out her hand to touch Lin Dongnen's tender and fair face, and called out in a deep and deep voice, "Dongdong."

Lin Dong looked up at Lin Lihua.

Lin Lihua stroked Lin Dong's small face and said, "Dongdong, grow up well. If you want to find your mother, you can find your mother. My aunt will support you and help you find it. If you can't find it, stay with your aunt and always stay with your aunt." , okay?"

Lin Dong looked at Lin Lihua with dark eyes, as if there were stars in his eyes, nodded and said, "Okay."

"Then don't cry, okay?"

There was a slight callus on the pulp of Lin Lihua's thumb, and he gently rubbed Lin Dong's eyelids. Instead of feeling pain, he felt extraordinarily stable. He immediately stopped crying, and nodded obediently: "Yes."

"Then put away the money, don't let Xiao Chuan see it, you spend it yourself, you know?"

"Okay." Lin Dong put the money in his pocket, and patted it with his small hands. He was relieved that it was indeed in his pocket honestly.

Only then did Lin Lihua ask, "By the way, where is Xiao Chuan?"

"At Mu Xinghe's house with my uncle."

Just as Lin Dong finished speaking, He Xiaochuan's voice came from outside the door: "Mom! Mom!" Then He Xiaochuan rushed in, and was taken aback when he saw Lin Lihua. Although he was not as sensitive as Lin Dong and shed tears, he was still quite uncomfortable. He was lying listlessly beside Lin Lihua's bed, unwilling to leave.

Lin Lihua also stretched out her arms to hug He Xiaochuan. At this time, Mu Xinghe came out from behind He Qingzhang, and said hello to Lin Lihua on behalf of his parents in a very adult tone, then looked at Lin Dong and asked, "Dongdong, are you going tonight?" Did you go to sleep at my house?"

Lin Dong said: "No more sleep, my aunt is back, Xiao Chuan and I are going to sleep at home."

Mu Xinghe asked again: "Are you not going to sleep at my house anymore?"

Lin Dong nodded.

Mu Xinghe said unwillingly: "Your aunt can go to my house when she comes back."

Lin Dong said: "No, my aunt is sick, I have to stay at home with my aunt."

Mu Xinghe thought for a while and said, "Then I'll be with you."

Lin Dong said, "Okay."

"I also accompany my mother." He Xiaochuan continued.

However, He Xiaochuan did not accompany Lin Lihua all the time, his attention was attracted by the slightest turmoil outside, but Lin Dong stayed with Lin Lihua all the time, pouring water for Lin Lihua, giving Lin Lihua biscuits to eat, and giving Lin Lihua a towel to wipe her face. When school started, he took his homework book to Lin Lihua's room, lay down on the small stool, held the pencil tightly in his little hand, and wrote Chinese characters one stroke at a time. After finishing writing, he would show it to Lin Lihua.

Although Lin Lihua has a low level of education, she can still understand the homework of primary school students. Every time Lin Dongmo is asked to write the pinyin of new characters, Lin Dong can always get them all right. This makes her feel very happy and her body gradually improves.

It was almost the time when elementary school students started school, Lin Lihua had already got out of bed and was free to move around, and began to help Lin Donghe Xiaochuan check the winter vacation homework, and suddenly saw that when the topic of the essay was "My——", Lin Dong filled in "——" with "aunt ", the whole essay is written like this:

"My aunt is the best aunt in the whole world. She is good-looking and good-spoken. She calls me Dongdong. Every day she eats fan, she will give me chicken tui, and at night she will give me a quilt.

"My aunt is the best aunt in the world.

"I love my aunt."

The Chinese characters were written neatly with pinyin. Lin Lihua's heart warmed when she saw it. She knew herself. She also thought that she was not good-looking, and her speech was rough. How could she be so good, this little boy Ah... She turned her head to look at Lin Dong, who was looking at He Xiaochuan's math problem and asked, "Five plus six equals 56?"

He Xiaochuan said: "That's right!"

Lin Dong asked, "Are you sure?"

He Xiaochuan nodded: "I'm sure!"

Lin Dong looked at He Xiaochuan seriously: "But, your answer is wrong."

"What's wrong?"

Lin Dong picked up He Xiaochuan's little hand and counted it finger by finger, and asked, "Look, how much is five plus six?"

He Xiaochuan was extremely surprised: "Eleven, it is actually equal to eleven!"

"That's right, it's equal to eleven."

He Xiaochuan counted again.

Lin Dong erased the wrong answer with an eraser, asked He Xiaochuan to rewrite it, and then turned to look at Lin Lihua. Lin Lihua didn't find out the slightest problem with Lin Dong, and said, "It's all right."

Lin Dong was very happy. He liked to be praised very much, and he was very happy: "Auntie, I will pack my schoolbag by myself."

Lin Lihua smiled and said, "Clean it up, but don't put the first-grade books in it."

"why?"

Lin Lihua explained patiently: "Because you have finished the first grade, you don't need to study any more. This year, your uncle let you skip a grade and go to the second grade."

Lin Dong thought for a while and asked, "Am I in the same class as Xinghe?"

"Yes, do you like being in the same class as Xinghe?"

"I like."

Lin Lihua asked: "Auntie will take you to sign up for the second grade tomorrow, okay?"

Lin Dong asked, "Auntie, are you going to school?"

Lin Lihua nodded: "Well, your uncle will go to school for a meeting tomorrow morning, and there is no way to pay your tuition fees. I don't feel at ease with you and Xiao Chuan holding the tuition fees, so I will go with you. Isn't it good?"

Lin Dong thought for a while and asked, "Who looks at the store?"

Still thinking about the shop, Lin Lihua laughed and said, "I'll be back after you pay me, and I won't delay looking at the shop."

"OK then."

The next morning was the opening day of Jinli Primary School. Both Lin Dong and He Xiaochuan woke up very early, wearing clean clothes and carrying small schoolbags on their backs. Standing in the room, Lin Dong saw the beautiful woman in the poster on the wall and said silently in his heart: " The mother in the dream, school is starting, my aunt is sick, and I will go to school with my aunt, I am in the second grade this year, and I am in the same class as Xinghe, I am in the second grade, I will soon be an older child, When I grow up, I will be great, and I can work to earn money for my aunt, and I can find you."

At this moment Lin Lihua's shout came, Lin Dong waved at the poster on the wall, then took small steps with his schoolbag on his back, went to the grocery store to meet Lin Lihua, and when he got out of the grocery store, he saw Mu Xinghe, Jiang Xiaojun and Jiang Xiaojun's father again.

"Dongdong!" Mu Xinghe shouted.

"Xinghe!" Lin Dong walked towards Mu Xinghe with a small schoolbag on his back.

Mu Xinghe said happily: "Your aunt said, are you going to be in the second grade today?"

Lin Dong said, "Yes!"

Mu Xinghe asked, "We're in the same class, aren't we?"

"Yes."

"Great! Then let's go to school and sign up."

Lin Dong looked behind Mu Xinghe and asked, "Are you the only one going to school? Isn't your father going with you?"

Mu Xinghe said: "I don't need him to go, I can do it myself. I signed up for school last year by myself."

"Then what about your tuition? It will be lost."

"I don't need to pay tuition fees, I can just sign up myself."

It was only then that Lin Dong remembered that Mu Xinghe was the first in every exam, so he didn't have to pay tuition fees, so he said, "You are so amazing."

"You'll be great too!"

"Well, let's go then."

Mu Xinghe took Lin Dong's hand.

Jiang Xiaojun followed.

He Xiaochuan ran over and asked, "Where's Qiqi? Isn't Qiqi going to school?"

Jiang Xiaojun replied, "Qiqi is crying at home."

He Xiaochuan asked incomprehensibly, "Why are you crying?"

"Because the winter vacation homework was not finished, the teacher refused to let me sign up, so I made up my homework at home and cried while doing it."

"When will it be made up?"

"I don't know, I started to mend it last night."

Lin Dong couldn't help but said, "Qiqi is so pitiful."

He Xiaochuan didn't feel strange and pitiful at all, but said proudly: "I have finished writing a long time ago, and all of them are correct!"

Jiang Xiaojun asked, "How do you know that you wrote everything correctly?"

He Xiaochuan replied: "Lin Dong said that I wrote everything correctly."

What Lin Dong and Mu Xinghe said was the standard answer in Jiang Xiaojun and He Xiaochuan's mind, so Jiang Xiaojun had nothing to say, and turned to look at Lin Dong. Lin Dong held Lin Lihua with one hand and Mu Xinghe with the other, and turned to Jinli while talking. Elementary school to go.

The new semester has a new atmosphere. As soon as they arrived at the school, most of the children happily followed their parents to their classes. After Lin Lihua paid He Xiaochuan's tuition for the next semester, she began to deal with Lin Dong's affairs, because Lin Dong skipped a grade, and The enrollment situation of other students is different, so I have to go to the school office. Lin Lihua dragged Lin Dong to talk to the second-grade head teacher about the situation. The second-grade head teacher knew about Lin Dong's situation, so he signed up for the Lin Dong office formalities.

Lin Lihua asked about the tuition fees for the second grade.

The teacher in charge of the second grade said: "There is no tuition fee."

Lin Dong and Lin Lihua were surprised at the same time.

The teacher in charge said: "Lin Dong got a double-percentage mark in the final exam last semester. According to the school's regulations, it's still free."

Lin Dong was happy when he heard the words, thinking that he could save money for his aunt.

Lin Lihua expressed her gratitude to the head teacher with both surprise and joy.

The head teacher said a few words to Lin Lihua, and let Lin Lihua go back. Lin Dong left it to him. If there was any problem, he would tell He Qingzhang when He Qingzhang was free, but Lin Lihua was worried, so Lin Dong followed the head teacher into the second grade. When she was in the classroom, she quietly stood in front of the classroom window and looked at it. She didn't know if she didn't look at it.

Most of the children in the second grade are about nine years old. The youngest Mu Xinghe is also eight years old, but Lin Dong is only six years old. He was small at first, and even smaller when he entered elementary school. He stood on the podium and introduced himself cautiously. Afterwards, the head teacher temporarily asked him to sit in the special seat in front of the podium for a class meeting first, and then arrange tables after the class meeting, so Lin Dong shyly came to the special seat in front of the podium.

However, the stool at the special table was too high, and he couldn’t sit on it with his little butt lifted, so he turned around, lay down on the stool, and raised his short legs to reach the stool, but the area of ​​the stool was too small, so he still couldn’t sit up go up.

Lin Lihua looked anxiously outside.

The head teacher was cleaning the blackboard and didn't see it.

The students in the classroom roared with laughter.

Lin Dong crawled recklessly. At this moment, Mu Xinghe rushed out, picked up Lin Dong, and put Lin Dong on the stool to sit down. Then he said loudly to the students in the class: "Don't laugh! I will hit whoever laughs at me!"
