Zai Zai Grocery Store

Lin Lihua stood up abruptly, threw the pillow on the bed casually, and ran out of the room in a panic, not caring about tripping her feet, and hurriedly looked around, and saw a clean and beautiful little boy standing at the door of the small courtyard, the little boy was dressed in He smiled at her with a foreign air, out of breath, and the two small pear dimples at the corners of his mouth were blooming alive. If it's not Dongdong, who is it?

Dongdong.

Lin Lihua's eyes turned red, and her voice trembled slightly: "Dongdong."

Lin Dong smiled and called, "Auntie."

"Winter."

"aunt."

Lin Lihua strode forward, squatted down, held Lin Dong's little face and kissed it, and then quickly reached out to touch Lin Dong's small shoulders, small arms and small hands, and found the familiar temperature. With a real feeling, she said happily: " Really Dongdong, Dongdong, are you back?"

Lin Dong nodded: "Yeah."

"Great!"

Lin Lihua hugged Lin Dong into her arms, she really missed Lin Dong so much.

Lin Dong also put his arms around Lin Lihua's neck.

Lin Lihua calmed down, then let go of Lin Dong, and asked, "Dongdong, who did you come with?"

Lin Dong replied: "My mother and my aunt."

"What about them?"

"In the back, there was a traffic jam just now, I got out of the car first, and I ran over."

"Come on, let's go and see."

"Ah."

Lin Lihua hugged Lin Dong.

Lin Dong hurriedly said, "Auntie, don't hug me."

Lin Lihua asked suspiciously, "Why?"

"Auntie said I'm fat and heavy. You'll get tired if you hold her. I'll walk by myself."

That's right, this is Dongdong, this is the considerate Dongdong, Lin Lihua reached out and touched Lin Dong's little face and said, "I'm not tired, my aunt is strong, it's fine to hold two Dongdongs, look at how relaxed my aunt is holding her." Ah, isn't it?"

Lin Dong nodded.

Lin Lihua walked out of the grocery store with Lin Dong in her arms.

Lin Dong put his arms around Lin Lihua's neck, sat on Lin Lihua's arm, sniffed the familiar smell on Lin Lihua, felt an indescribable sense of security and happiness in his heart, looked around the grocery store with clear eyes, and saw the familiar oil Salt, sauce and vinegar, as well as his and He Xiaochuan's certificates of merit were posted on the wall. He was so happy that he couldn't help leaning his head on Lin Lihua's shoulder. As soon as he got out of the grocery store, he pointed to the black car in front of him and said, " Auntie, my mother and aunt are here."

Lin Lihua hugged Lin Dong and waited on the spot.

The black car slowly stopped beside Lin Lihua, the door opened, and Ruan Xinping and Ruan Xinning came out.

Lin Dong immediately called out: "Mom, auntie."

Ruan Xinping and Ruan Xinning smiled and walked towards Lin Lihua.

Lin Lihua paid more attention to Ruan Xinping. Ruan Xinping was wearing a light-colored spring dress, she was quiet and gentle, and her complexion was much better than last time. Lin Lihua sighed in her heart, no wonder she gave birth to such a beautiful child as Dongdong. Ruan Xinping is so beautiful. Before Lin Lihua took a step forward, Ruan Xinping and Ruan Xinning walked over and called out very respectfully, "Sister Lin."

Lin Lihua greeted happily but a little shyly: "Come on, come in and sit."

Ruan Xinping and the two followed Lin Lihua into the grocery store. Seeing that the grocery store was quiet inside and out, Ruan Xinping couldn't help but ask, "Where are the people from Xiaochuan?"

Lin Lihua replied: "They all went to school."

"Xiao Chuan's father also went to school?"

"Well, he has classes in the morning."

"When is school over?"

"The children are on time. get out of class is over at 45:[-], and Xiao Chuan's father can come back when there is no class."

"When I come back, I can help you look at the store and share the hard work."

"It's actually not hard."

Lin Lihua chatted with Ruan Xinping for a few daily sentences, and found that Ruan Xinping was really much better. What happened here, Ruan Xinping and Ruan Xinning explained to Lin Lihua that they took Lin Dong away from Jinli Town, and Lin Dong wept silently for a long time, wiping away tears with his little hands along the way.

After arriving in the imperial capital, Ruan Xinping immediately entered into treatment. In addition to drug treatment, there was also psychological treatment, accompanied by Lin Dong. Ruan Xinping's condition improved very quickly, but freezing three feet was not a day's cold, and Ruan Xinping still needed a long-term rest. , Ruan Xinping considered the seaside and foreign countries, but did not consider Jinli Town.

At that time, Lin Dong took the initiative to say, "Mom, let's go to my aunt's place." Ruan Xinping gently denied it. Lin Dong stopped talking, and that night she curled up in the bed and wept silently. When Ruan Xinping found out, he had already hugged her. The game consoles, glass beads, cards, and white rabbit milk candies given by the friends fell asleep crying, and the pillow was wet a lot. Ruan Xinping was very distressed. The next morning, she told Lin Dong to go to Jinli Town to recuperate. Dong's eyes sparkled instantly.

From that day on, Lin Dong counted the days with his little finger, because he promised Xinghe and the others that he would come back within a hundred days, and he would not be late. Now that he is finally back, Lin Dong is happy. Ruan Xinping looked at Lin Dong and asked, "I know. ,happy?"

Lin Dong nodded: "Happy."

Ruan Xinping smiled.

Lin Lihua asked in surprise, "You want to live in Jinli Town?"

Ruan Xinping nodded: "Yes."

"where do you live?"

Ruan Xinning answered, "I live next door."

Lin Lihua was stunned. There were two families on the left and right of the grocery store. One was Li Yu, and the other started the fruit business four or five years ago. Later, the business became very big, so the whole family went out of town and never came back. They have been doing renovations recently. , Lin Lihua thought that the neighbor was coming back to live, could it be... Lin Lihua looked at Ruan Xinning in surprise, pointed at the neighbor, and asked, "You don't want to live here, do you?"

Ruan Xinning nodded.

Lin Lihua was taken aback: "You guys are doing the decoration these days?"

Ruan Xinning nodded and said, "Because I was afraid to trouble you, so I didn't tell you, I taught the decoration team directly, and simply cleaned it up."

"Then you lived here?"

"Ah."

Lin Lihua looked at Lin Dong in astonishment.

Lin Dong looked at Lin Lihua with a small face, and smiled warmly at Lin Lihua.

Lin Lihua asked happily: "Dongdong, are you going to live in the town from now on?"

Lin Dong nodded: "Yeah."

"Not going back to the imperial capital?"

"Mom said, we're going back on vacation."

"Great."

Lin Lihua rubbed Lin Dong's face with a smile.

Lin Dong looked at his aunt's smile, and he was also happy from the bottom of his heart. He just likes his mother's smile and his aunt's smile, because when his mother and aunt smile, the world becomes warmer, and it is as wonderful as living in the clouds. He smiles Suddenly remembered with a smile, and said, "Auntie, I bought clothes for you."

Lin Lihua was taken aback: "Did you buy clothes for me?"

Lin Dong nodded, got off Lin Lihua, took Lin Lihua's hand and said, "Well, I bought clothes and shoes for my aunt, and they are all in the car."

Lin Lihua was dubious.

Lin Dong happily asked Ruan Xinning to open the trunk, and took out three suitcases of different sizes, bags of clothes and shoes, and placed them in the grocery store. Lin Dong quickly took out five bags and said to Lin Lihua: " Aunt, for you, and uncle."

Lin Lihua looked at Ruan Xinping in puzzlement.

Ruan Xinping smiled and said, "Sister Lin, Zhiran wanted to buy it for you. Zhiran said that you bought clothes for him and Xiao Chuan, but you didn't buy clothes for yourself."

Lin Lihua couldn't tell what it was like in her heart when she heard the words. There were sweet, sour and warm, and more, she was moved, but she knew that the clothes were expensive by looking at the high-end packaging. He took it excitedly, and then went to cook for Lin Dong and the others.

It happened that Lin Dong didn't have a good meal, so Ruan Xinping didn't refuse. The three of them sat around Lin Lihua and had breakfast. After breakfast, the town became lively, and old people playing chess appeared one after another. Seeing Lin Dong appear, they greeted each other kindly with smiles:

"Ah, Zai Zai is back!"

"Yo, isn't this Dongdong? Dongdong is back."

"Won't Dongdong come back this time?"

"Cub! Cub! You're back."

"Zai Zai, Lin Zai Zai, do you miss grandma, grandma misses you so much."

"..."

A group of people were very happy, and Lin Dong’s happy dimple never disappeared. Someone came to buy groceries, and he was very enthusiastic to take them for them. Ruan Xinping and Ruan Xinning looked at each other and smiled, thinking that it was indeed the right place to come here. Ruan Xinning said, "Miss Xinping, why don't you stay here and I'll arrange your luggage."

Ruan Xinping said, "I'll be with you."

"Let Zhiran stay here first."

"it is good."

After more than three months of treatment, Ruan Xinping is no longer staring at Lin Dong all the time like before, and slowly giving Lin Dong more and more time to be free. At this moment, she followed Ruan Xinning and walked towards the next door with a box, only took two steps, listening Lin Dong shouted, "Mom, auntie, where are you going?"

Ruan Xinping replied, "Go to the next door."

"Pull my little suitcase next door too?"

Ruan Xinping asked warmly: "Yeah, what's the matter, you don't want to be dragged to the next door?"

"Well, there are gifts for Xinghe Xiaochuan Qiqi and Xiaojun in it, and I will give them to them later."

"That's fine, we won't pull this box, just put it here, you can watch it yourself."

Lin Dong nodded.

Ruan Xinping Ruan Xinning talked to Lin Lihua, then took the big box and went to the next door, while Lin Dong and Lin Lihua stayed in the grocery store, watching Lin Dong walking around in the store like before, this feeling is really good, Lin Lihua stood Asking about Lin Dong's life in the imperial capital at the counter, Lin Dong talked to Lin Lihua one by one.

After talking for a while, a customer came to break up the vinegar, and Lin Lihua went to work. Lin Dong felt that his small suitcase was in the way, so he grabbed the handle of the suitcase with his little hand, and pulled the suitcase towards the backyard of the grocery store, stumbling and stumbling Yes, I pulled it to the flower bed and saw a big cardboard box at the flower bed.

He put down the small suitcase, looked into the big cardboard box curiously, and saw the crayfish crawling inside, with candied haws and toffee beside him. He suddenly remembered that Xinghe said he was going to catch grasshoppers and crayfish , beat dates, bought candied haws and toffee and waited for him at the grocery store.

But what about the grasshopper?

Lin Dong looked through the small boxes inside the big cardboard box, but there were no grasshoppers. It seemed that he ran away. He went to the weeds and found no grasshoppers everywhere. Forget it, when Xinghe came back, he and Xinghe went to the house together. Catching grasshoppers, so he dropped the small suitcase, picked up the cardboard box, walked to the grocery store, raised his face and looked at the clock on the wall.

In fact, he doesn’t know the clock yet, but he knows that the shortest hand is called the hour hand. What time does the hour hand point to? Now it’s almost twelve, so it’s past eleven, and Jinli Primary School ends after eleven. At that time, he was overjoyed, holding the cardboard box and looking at Lin Lihua, he said, "Auntie, after school, I'll wait outside for Xinghe and Xiaochuan."

"Okay, don't run away."

"Well, I'll go talk to my mother and aunt too."

"Go."

Lin Dong hugged the cardboard box, stood at the door of his house and talked to Ruan Xinping and Ruan Xinning, then came to the edge of the town with the cardboard box in his arms, sat in front of a big rock, and waited happily for Xinghe Xiaochuan and the others. He was even happier when he took a look at the crayfish in the cardboard box and was still crawling vigorously, not dead.

He raised his small face and looked towards Jinli Primary School. Jinli Primary School was looming among the luxuriant trees, with a mysterious and desirable force.He wanted to go to Jinli Primary School to find Xinghe and the others, but he was afraid that his mother would be anxious if he couldn't see him, so he pressed his calf and sat obediently on the spot waiting.

The breeze blew gently, and the fresh air wrapped in green grass and trees rushed to the tip of Lin Dong's nose. Lin Dong sniffed, and smelled the fragrance of flowers. When he looked up, he saw an unknown bird standing on the branch and looking at He chirped, and he blinked his bright eyes and asked, "Little bird, do you know me?"

The bird chirped twice.

Lin Dong added: "I used to walk by here every day, I went to school."

Birds chirped.

Lin Dong said again: "I will continue to go to school from here starting tomorrow! You will be able to see me every day, and you can also see Xinghe, Xiaochuan, Qiqi and Xiaojun, and many, many children, Xinghe immediately They're out of school!"

The little bird chirped twice, spread its wings, and flew away with a flutter. Lin Dong continued to hold the box and waited, when he suddenly heard the bell for the end of get out of class jingling from a distance.

After school!

He couldn't sit still for a while, and got up holding the cardboard box. He stared at the looming Jinli Primary School with his dark eyes for a moment, and saw a lot of students suddenly pouring out of the gate of Jinli Primary School. It was true that school was over, Xinghe Ogawa and the others are coming back.

Lin Dong hugged the cardboard box tightly, looked ahead, and thought to himself that the second grade teacher Ai Tuotang, then Xiao Chuan and Qi Qi should come back first, followed by Xing He and Xiao Jun. Just as he was thinking, a little black boy appeared in the distance. There were three small black dots behind the small black dot, and he recognized four black dots almost instantly.

It was Xinghe and the others.

"Xinghe!" Lin Dong shouted loudly.

The four black dots fixed at the same time, and then there was a loud voice: "Dongdong!"

"Xinghe!"

"Winter!"

Lin Dong ran two steps forward and found that the cardboard box was too in the way and he couldn't run fast, so he put the cardboard box on the ground, shouted "Xinghe" again, and then ran straight over, while the four of Mu Xinghe were also scrambling for the first place He rushed towards Lin Dong, and finally Mu Xinghe took the lead, rushing to Lin Dong's side and hugging Lin Dong.

Jiang Xiaojun, He Xiaochuan, and Qiqi rushed forward, and the four children hugged Lin Dong tightly. Lin Dong didn't feel cramped or uncomfortable at all. Instead, he laughed happily and touched the other four as much as possible with his little hands.

The five children hugged each other for a full minute before letting go, and then Mu Xinghe happily asked, "Dongdong, when did you come back?"

Lin Dong said, "I arrived in the morning."

"Did you come back alone?"

"No, my mother and aunt are back too."

"Aren't you leaving?"

"Don't go."

"Great, let's go, let's go home."

Mu Xinghe took Lin Dong's hand and walked forward.

Jiang Xiaojun, He Xiaochuan, and Qiqi asked Lin Dong about various things, and they were very happy. They didn't care whether Lin Dong came back within a hundred days or a hundred days away, as long as Lin Dong came back That's it.

The five children happily walked towards the East Street. Halfway there, Lin Dong suddenly remembered that he forgot to take the cardboard box. Lin Dong at the grocery store opened his suitcase, and there was a box of toys inside, such as game consoles, water guns, yo-yos, bouncy balls, robots, etc., a full box, and Lin Dong gave all of them to Mu Xinghe and the others. Four people were shot.

"Dongdong, give this to me, let's play together."

Lin Dong said, "Okay."

"Lin Dong, I want this."

Lin Dong said, "Okay."

"Lin Dong, I want two of these."

Lin Dong said, "Okay."

"..."

The five children were chattering non-stop in the backyard of the grocery store. Even Ruan Xinping and Ruan Xinning heard it. The two of them looked at each other and smiled and ignored Lin Dong and the others. They huddled together to play with toys all afternoon. Lin Dong will officially go there next Monday. Jinli Primary School reported, so he didn't go to school in the afternoon, which directly caused Mu Xinghe and the others to be unwilling to go to school, especially Qiqi.

Qiqi proudly told Papa Qi that he would not go to school in the afternoon and that he wanted to stay and play with his best friend Lin Dong, but when Papa Qi slapped his ass on the sole of his shoe, he was no longer proud and I stopped crying and went to school crying.

As soon as school was over in the afternoon, the five children got together again, eating, drinking and playing together, and slept together on He Xiaochuan's bed at night. The parents thought that tomorrow was the weekend, so they ignored them.

Ruan Xinping and Ruan Xinning asked Lin Dong to sleep in the grocery store for the night because she was too tired, and then arranged for it tomorrow, so the five children were playing wildly on He Xiaochuan's bed, and He Qingzhang next door yelled to be quiet.

The five children immediately fell silent, and then sat around unpacking snacks to eat. The unpacking was a mess, and biscuit crumbs fell on the quilt. You can't sleep if it's dirty."

As soon as the words fell, Qiqi tore a pack of shrimp crackers with a "tear" sound, and the shrimp crackers fell on the quilt. The five children picked up and ate at the same time, playing while eating, and couldn't remember the time at all. He Qingzhang's repeated urging was useless , and finally Lin Lihua asked loudly: "Are you all asleep?"

The five children were silent at the same time, and listened together, and heard the sound of the door next door being opened.

Mu Xinghe said vigilantly, "Your aunt is here."

He Xiaochuan said: "Lie down quickly, or my mother will beat someone."

Kiki said, "Hurry up."

Jiang Xiaojun said: "Hurry up, pretend to be asleep! Don't let the adults find out that we are pretending to be asleep, or the adults will beat people!"

The five children rushed into the bed the moment Lin Lihua pushed open the door, and at the same time closed their eyes and pretended to be asleep, He Xiaochuan even snorted.

The five children thought they were clever enough to hide it from the adults, and they were a little happy, but they didn't know that Lin Lihua had seen the trembling eyelashes of the five children, but Lin Lihua didn't puncture them. Seeing the mess on the bed, she couldn't help but laugh , when the gaze retracted, it landed on a chubby little foot, and it was Lin Dong's little foot at first glance. Before she could speak, the little foot was put into the quilt with a "swish", and there was a deliberate whirring sound from the bed .

Lin Lihua: "..."

In the end, Lin Lihua didn't expose the children's little tricks, and simply cleaned up the beds and the floor, tucked the quilts for the children, and left the room.

Realizing that there was no sound outside, the five children first squinted their eyes and looked around. After making sure that there was no one in the room, they opened their eyes together. He Xiaochuan said, "My mother didn't notice that we were pretending to be asleep."

Qiqi said: "Because I pretended well."

He Xiaochuan said: "I pretended to be good, I even snore!"

Qiqi said: "Lin Dong also fought, and Lin Dong fought much better than you."

Lin Dong nodded, suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, I forgot." As he spoke, Lin Dong quickly slid off the bed.

Mu Xinghe hurriedly said, "Dongdong, what are you doing?"

Lin Dong replied, "I want to find my mother."

"What are you looking for with your mother?"

"I'm going to kiss her before I go to bed."
