Zai Zai Grocery Store

He Xiaochuan took the milk candy.

Lin Dong withdrew his little hand and watched He Xiaochuan peel off the caramel candy wrapper and put the white caramel in his mouth. He couldn't help swallowing, and asked in a tender voice with expectation: "Sweet candy!" ?"

He Xiaochuan nodded: "Sweet."

Lin Dong smiled, and there were two shallow pear dimples at the corners of his mouth, as beautiful as two cute little pear blossoms.This scene happened to fall into the eyes of Lin Lihua and He Qingzhang. He Qingzhang was taken aback for a moment, not because Lin Dong's smile was particularly healing and warm, but because this child who grew up in suffering and loneliness actually knew how to share with others.

It's really rare.

"He only has one milk candy." Lin Lihua said.

He Qingzhang turned to look at Lin Lihua.

Although He Qingzhang bowed his head to Lin Lihua just now, Lin Lihua was still angry and said angrily, "No matter what you say, I will take care of Lin Dong anyway."

He Qingzhang sighed.

Lin Lihua ignored He Qingzhang, walked up to He Xiaochuan, and asked, "Xiaochuan, why were you crying just now?"

He Xiaochuan immediately raised his right hand: "I knocked my hand."

"Where did you knock?"

"Knock on the door."

Mother Lin Lihua said: "Have you been naughty again? You deserve it!"

He Xiaochuan: "..."

Lin Lihua didn't even look at He Xiaochuan's little hands, and started to close the door and turn off the lights, but He Xiaochuan put it on Lin Lihua's body like a dog's skin plaster, coquettishly saying that her hands hurt, especially painful.

Lin Lihua scolded He Xiaochuan, looking as if she disliked her son, bent down to hold He Xiaochuan in her arms after a while, and walked home while looking around.

"Mom, my hand hurts."

"It's not broken, where does it hurt?"

"It hurts here."

"..."

Lin Dong, who was following Lin Lihua, looked at He Xiaochuan with envy, and silently followed He Xiaochuan to read the word "mother" in his heart. When he turned his head and met He Qingzhang's eyes, he quickly lowered his head and looked at Lin Lihua's heels. , followed closely.

After arriving home, Lin Lihua put He Xiaochuan down and said, "Xiaochuan, we just discussed that my brother will share a room with you from now on, you can't bully him."

He Xiaochuan nodded heavily.

"Alright then, Mom will make your beds for you now, sleep well at night."

"Okay!" He Xiaochuan agreed.

Lin Lihua quickly changed the sheets, bathed Lin Dong and He Xiaochuan one by one, put on pajamas and threw them on the bed.

He Xiaochuan said unhappily: "Mom, why is he wearing my clothes?"

"You ate a caramel from him just now."

"That, that—"

"Even." Lin Lihua said.

"OK then."

He Xiaochuan turned to look at Lin Dong.

Lin Dong was wearing white pajamas embellished with yellow stars, sitting on a blanket, looking cute and pretty.

He Xiaochuan turned to Lin Lihua and said, "Mom, I'm peeing."

"There are so many things!" Lin Lihua stretched out her hand, pinched He Xiaochuan under her armpit, went out and came back with it, threw He Xiaochuan on the bed, and asked in a gentle tone: "Is Lin Dong going to pee? "

Lin Dong nodded.

Lin Lihua hugged Lin Dong.

Lin Dong was very happy, he hadn't changed him at night for a long time, he sat on the bed after peeing, watching Lin Lihua leave, his heart was still jumping, but at this time someone patted him on the shoulder.

Looking back, it was He Xiaochuan.

He Xiaochuan pointed at Lin Dong with his little finger.

Lin Dong's expression froze.

"Get up." He Xiaochuan said fiercely.

Lin Dong put his hands on the ground and slowly got up.

He Xiaochuan on the wall: "Facing the inside."

Lin Dong hesitated for a moment, then walked towards the bed.

"Let's go."

Lin Dong will go again.

"Let's go."

Lin Dong stuck to the wall and couldn't move.

Only then was He Xiaochuan satisfied, and drew a "[-]th line" on the bed with his bare hands, saying: "This is my territory, you can't go beyond it, or I'll beat you up."

Lin Dong blinked his black eyes and looked at He Xiaochuan.

He Xiaochuan felt that what he said might not be clear, so he turned around and lay down beside the bed, grabbed a handful of glass beads from the bedside table, placed them on the bed one by one, laid out a "[-] line", and said: "The inside of this line It's all my territory, if you come into my territory, I'll beat you!"

He Xiaochuan clenched his fist and waved at Lin Dong.

Lin Dong nodded immediately.

"Okay, go to sleep."

He Xiaochuan huffed and lay down on the bed, occupying two-thirds of the bed. Lin Dong slowly squatted down, sat on the corner of the bed, leaning against the wall, and sat down slowly, looking at the string of glass placed on the bed. Bead, lay down carefully, lest touch the glass bead.

Fortunately, he was thin and small, and after lying down, he couldn't touch the glass beads at all. One night, he fell asleep against the wall and slept very well. Until dawn, Lin Lihua came to call the two children to eat, and saw the glass beads on the bed. Neat glass beads.

"He Xiaochuan!" Lin Lihua shouted.

He Xiaochuan woke up from his sleep.

Lin Lihua pointed to the glass beads and asked, "Did you put these glass beads?"

"Ah."

"What are you doing here?"

"Don't let the enemy occupy my territory!" He Xiaochuan had watched too much war.

enemy--

The corner of Lin Lihua's mouth twitched twice, and he slapped He Xiaochuan twice on the buttocks: "I call you an enemy, I call you an enemy!"

Lin Lihua never relentlessly slapped He Xiaochuan. She slapped He Xiaochuan's butt a few times, making He Xiaochuan's fleshy little butt red, until He Xiaochuan got annoyed with Lin Dong, rubbed his butt and stared at him. Lin Dong said, "It's all your fault!"

Lin Dong bowed his head and said nothing.

"Hmph!" He Xiaochuan shook his head and left.

Lin Dong slowly followed behind He Xiaochuan, imitating He Xiaochuan's steps, began to wash his hands, face and mouth, and then walked to the dining table in the yard to start eating breakfast.

Breakfast was made by He Qingzhang, simple steamed buns, bean paste, eggs and millet porridge, probably because the communication between Lin Lihua and He Qingzhang was effective, so the atmosphere at the table was particularly harmonious.

He Qingzhang deliberately smiled at Lin Dong.

Lin Lihua peeled an egg for Lin Dong and said, "Lin Dong, next time you eat an egg, you peel it yourself, you know?"

Lin Dong nodded heavily, and took the soft-boiled eggs, feeling like flowers blooming everywhere in his heart, feeling that the world is beautiful.

It was because He Xiaochuan was still annoyed by Lin Dong because he was beaten in the morning, so he secretly stepped on Lin Dong's foot a few times, but Lin Dong didn't make a sound, and quietly retracted his foot.

He Xiaochuan couldn't reach it, so he was safe.

Lin Lihua didn't notice the little thoughts of the children, she drank millet porridge and said business to He Qingzhang: "Qingzhang, go to the grocery store and help me carry two bags of rice."

He Qingzhang nodded: "Okay, how is the business in the store in the last two days?"

"not so good."

"what happened?"

"Daqiaotou has opened a grocery store again. Two days ago, they came to my place to inquire, see what I sell here, and buy accordingly."

"Well, business is getting worse and worse now."

He Qingzhang sighed and looked at Lin Dong.

Lin Dong's eyes met He Qingzhang's, and he quickly lowered his head.

He Qingzhang smiled and said, "Let's eat."

Lin Dong buried himself in his meal.

In order to watch the store, Lin Lihua's family ate early, so they packed everything up. When they left their house, other people in the small town were either cooking or getting up, and the whole town was full of fireworks.

When Lin Dong followed Lin Lihua's family to the grocery store, he was particularly diligent in helping Lin Lihua arrange small items for sale at the door. Even He Qingzhang praised Lin Dong, and He Xiaochuan, not to be outdone, also rushed in and out, making a mess.

"Xiao Chuan." Lin Lihua said, "Can't you just follow my brother's example?"

"Don't learn!" He Xiaochuan turned his face aside angrily, walked up to Lin Dong after a while, and slapped Lin Dong with his small hand.

Lin Dong didn't fight back after being beaten, and walked out of the shop silently.

He Xiaochuan followed outside the store, and Lin Dong walked into the store.

He Xiaochuan followed into the store.

Lin Dong walked around the shelves in silence.

He Xiaochuan couldn't hit him, so he shouted angrily: "Lin Dong!"

Lin Dong stopped to look at He Xiaochuan.

He Xiaochuan said angrily: "You call me brother!"

Lin Dong didn't call.

"You call me brother!"

Lin Dong ignored He Xiaochuan, and when he heard a customer asked for brown sugar, he took a bag of brown sugar and sent it out of the store, took the money to the counter, and didn't see Lin Lihua, so he timidly handed the money to He Qingzhang.

Before He Qingzhang picked it up, the phone in the store rang, and he raised his hand to answer it. Just after he said a few words, his expression changed drastically.

Lin Lihua who had just come out of the utility room hurried forward and asked, "What's wrong?"

He Qingzhang hung up the phone and looked at Lin Lihua: "Something happened to Mom."

"What happened?"

"I don't know, I was sent to the hospital."

Lin Lihua was startled, and quickly asked, "Is it serious?"

"I don't know, I have to go and see."

"I'll go with you." Lin Lihua said immediately.

"What about the child? What about the store?"

"Let Li Yu take a look first." Lin Lihua untied her apron and said, "I'll go check on the situation, and then I'll be back. It's all right."

He Qingzhang nodded.

Lin Lihua hurriedly found her neighbor Li Yu, and after explaining the situation, she hurriedly left the grocery store with He Qingzhang. Immediately after, her neighbor Li Yu came over, and when she saw He Xiaochuan, she stepped forward and pinched his face: "Xiaochuan, call out to Auntie."

He Xiaochuan doesn't like Li Yu, because Li Yu thinks he is good-looking and likes to hug him and touch his face. He also said that when he grows up, he will find a beautiful wife for him. He doesn't like it, and he runs away when he sees Li Yu coming.

Only Lin Dong was left in the store.

Li Yu asked: "Lin Dong, don't you want to play?"

Lin Dong shook his head.

"Why don't you go?"

"I want to help my aunt watch the store."

Li Yu thought that Lin Dong was just a child's childish talk, so he didn't care about Lin Dong. He went home and took the wool and sat in front of the counter knitting a sweater. Who knew that she was really knitting a sweater in front of the counter. He doesn't need her to help sell things, he knows all the prices and the location of all the items.

Li Yu was so shocked that she couldn't speak. She remembered that this little boy had only been in Jinli Town for only three or four days. How could he be so smart?

Li Yu looked Xiao Zai Zai up and down, and felt that Xiao Zai Zai was good-looking, smart, and likable.

Li Yu couldn't help shouting: "Lin Dong."

Lin Dong turned his head and looked over.

Lin Yu asked again, "How many days have you been here?"

"Three days."

"Miss Mom and Dad?"

Lin Dong froze for a moment, nodded and said, "I think so."

"Where are your parents?"

"I don't know." This is the first time someone has talked about parents with Lin Dong. He seems to want to talk about his parents, as if he really has parents, he continued. : "But when I grow up, I know where my parents are."

"Why do you know when you grow up?"

Lin Dong thought about it for a while and said: "Because when I grow up, I can make money, and I can take the train to find my parents. Grandpa said, I grow up and grow taller. When I walk on the road, many people can see me. , my parents will recognize me."

"Really?" Women have a natural motherhood. Li Yu's eyes were sour when he heard this cub's words, and he said with a smile: "That's right, grow up quickly, and when you grow up, you will be able to find your parents."

Lin Dong nodded heavily, his eyes were extraordinarily bright.

Li Yu couldn't help feeling fond of Lin Dong, and looked up at the hour hand on the wall. It was already noon, and she smiled and said, "Stay here for a while, and Auntie will cook for you when you come home."

"Thank you auntie."

"So nice."

When Li Yu came back from the prepared meal, she saw He Xiaochuan on the road and called him to eat in the restaurant, but when she got to the restaurant, He Xiaochuan hadn't come back, so when she cleared the table, she said, "Lin Dong, go to the intersection." Tell Xiao Chuan to come back for dinner."

After Lin Dong agreed, he ran towards the intersection and looked back and forth without seeing He Xiaochuan. He yelled twice, and suddenly heard He Xiaochuan's voice: "Lin Dong! Come here!"

Hearing the sound, Lin Dong ran across a small bridge, and saw He Xiaochuan at the head of the bridge at a glance. He Xiaochuan was fighting with a fat kid.

Lin Dong was startled.

He Xiaochuan turned his head and shouted crisply: "Lin Dong, come and help me, I can't beat him!"

The author has something to say:

He Xiaochuan: Hurry up and help me beat him!

Lin Dong: Fighting is wrong.

He Xiaochuan: ...

Author: We Xiao Zai Zai also have a career line. We are very busy and have no time to fight.

He Xiaochuan: ...
