Zai Zai Grocery Store

Mu Xinghe and Jiang Xiaojun turned their heads when they heard the words.

Lin Dong grabbed the strap of the schoolbag tightly with his small hands, took small steps again, and ran towards Mu Xinghe, very happy.

Mu Xinghe turned around to greet him, and asked, "Dongdong, why are you here?"

Lin Dong replied with a smile: "My mother asked me to come!"

"Your mother is awake?"

"Ok!"

"She wakes up so early, isn't she sick?"

"no!"

Mu Xinghe asked again: "So you can go to morning self-study with us?"

Lin Dong nodded heavily: "Yes."

"Then let's go!"

"go!"

Mu Xinghe held Lin Dong's left hand, and Jiang Xiaojun held Lin Dong's right hand. Under the starry sky, the three children walked towards Jinli Primary School by stepping on the light beam emitted by the flashlight, watching the stars in the sky while walking.

Lin Dong said in a clear voice: "Xinghe, look, that is the Big Dipper!"

Jiang Xiaojun said, "That's not the Big Dipper, it's the Spoon Star."

"It's the Big Dipper."

"No, it's Spoon Star."

"Xiao Jun." Mu Xinghe said, "Aren't you stupid? The Spoon Star is the Big Dipper! It's the Big Dipper!"

"is it?"

"Yes."

"Then why isn't Spoon Star just called Big Dipper?"

"One big name and one small name, do you understand?"

"Oh, it's like your nickname is Xinghe, and your big name is Mu Xinghe."

"Yes, what Dongdong said is also correct."

"Xinghe, Xiaojun, look, there are so many stars." Lin Dong said again: "It's so beautiful."

"Yes, it's so beautiful."

"..."

The three children arrived at Jinli Primary School looking at the stars. They thought that Jinli Primary School would be full of lights, but all the classes were pitch-black, and the students who arrived early lit candles.

After inquiring, I found out that there was a power outage in the morning. Lin Dong and the three had no candles, so they read aloud until the sun rose by the candlelight of other students.

When the bell rang for the end of morning self-study, Lin Dong and the others ran towards Dongda Street with their schoolbags on their backs. When they ran to the door of the grocery store, they saw Lin Lihua carrying groceries.

"aunt!"

"Hey, Dongdong is over from school." Lin Lihua talked to Lin Dong with a smile.

Lin Dong stepped forward and said, "Well, Auntie, I'll help you move it."

"no, I'm fine--"

Lin Lihua didn't even stop her. Lin Dong helped Lin Lihua set up a street stall before returning home. After washing his hands, he helped his mother and aunt to arrange the bowls and chopsticks, and then sat at the dining table to eat breakfast quietly. The breakfast was not finished yet. Qiqi and He Xiaochuan came to Lin Dong for dinner first.

Ruan Xinping asked warmly: "Xiaochuan, Qiqi, have you had breakfast?"

He Xiaochuan Qiqi said together: "Eat."

"So are you all full?"

"I am full."

Ruan Xinping asked again: "Do you want to eat some more?"

He Xiaochuan said in unison, "Yes!"

Qiqi deliberately added another sentence: "Aunt Ruan, every time I am full at home, I can eat two more bites when I am full."

Lin Dong: "..."

Ruan Xinning: "..."

Ruan Xinping laughed, thinking that a child like Qiqi is extremely cute, she stood up smiling, went to the kitchen to get the bowls and chopsticks, brought some jujube cakes and meatballs for He Xiaochuan Qiqi to taste, and then sent three more The children went out to find Mu Xinghe, and finally stood at the door of Lin Lihua's grocery store watching the five children go to school.

She didn't turn her head to talk to Lin Lihua until she could no longer see Lin Dong. She went home to take medicine not long after, and started weeding the flowers in the small yard.

After nine and ten minutes passed, Ruan Xinping washed her hands, took out the cartoon thermos, and went out with Ruan Xinning. When passing by the grocery store, she greeted Lin Lihua gently: "Sister Lin."

Lin Lihua quickly asked, "Where are you going?"

Ruan Xinping smiled and said, "Go and see Zhiran."

"Dongdong School is locked."

"It's okay, I'll just see him at the school gate."

Lin Lihua knew that Ruan Xinping might get sick if she didn't see Lin Dong for a while, so she said, "Alright then, go, come back early, it looks like it's going to rain soon."

"Well, I'll be back in a while, sister Lin, you are busy, let's go."

Lin Lihua waved her hands and said, "Go, go, come back early."

Ruan Xinping and Ruan Xinning came to the gate of Jinli Primary School together, just as the bell rang for the end of the second class in the morning, they saw Lin Dong, Mu Xinghe and Jiang Xiaojun rushing out of the classroom first, and ran straight towards the dog hole. To climb the dog hole.

Ruan Xinping hurriedly shouted: "I know."

Lin Dong stopped walking and looked this way.

"Know it!"

"mom!"

Lin Dong's dark eyes sparkled.

Ruan Xinping stood at the school gate and waved to Lin Dong: "Come here."

Lin Dong hurried over and asked with a raised face, "Mom, why are you here?"

Ruan Xinping reached out and touched Lin Dong's small face through the hollowed-out iron gate, and said, "Mom, come and see. Yesterday, my mother told you that she will come to see you every day. Don't let you climb the dog hole. What mother said must be counted." .”

Lin Dong felt happy for a moment, and asked, "Have you taken your medicine, mom?"

Ruan Xinping smiled and said, "Eat."

"Then mom, are you tired?"

"Not tired." Ruan Xinping said softly in her heart: "My little baby, mom is fine, are you thirsty? Mom brought you water, do you want to drink?"

"drink."

Ruan Xinping handed the cartoon thermos cup to Lin Dong, Lin Dong drank the water, then passed the thermos cup to Mu Xinghe Jiang Xiaojun, and called He Xiaochuan Qiqi from the preschool class to drink water, and drank all the water in the thermos cup , and then under Ruan Xinping's urging, Lin Dong did not stay at the school gate, but played a small game with Mu Xinghe and the others.

Ruan Xinping and Ruan Xinning stood at the gate of the school and looked at Lin Dong. He saw the preparatory bell ringing. Lin Dong hurried to the door and said, "Mom, I'm going to class, you can go home."

Ruan Xinping nodded and said yes.

"Go home and take medicine."

Ruan Xinping frowned: "Understood."

"Then you go."

"Go first, mom will watch you go."

"Mom, you go, I will watch you go."

"it is good."

Ruan Xinping smiled softly.

Lin Dong raised his small hand and waved to Ruan Xinping, "Goodbye, Mom."

"Goodbye, baby." Ruan Xinping turned and left, and only when she heard the school bell rang, she turned her head and saw Lin Dong wearing a school uniform, running quickly towards the classroom. He was small, and his back was also small, but it gave her strength and strength. The warmth is incomparable. There are tears in her warm eyes. She raised her head slightly to force back the tears. Seeing that the sky was gloomy and it was about to rain, she reached out to wipe away the tears and hurried back to East Street with Ruan Xinning.

After a while, there was heavy rain in Jinli Town, and Ruan Xinping and Ruan Xinning immediately went to Zaizai's grocery store to help Lin Lihua clean up the grocery store. When it was almost done, Qiqi's mother came over with an umbrella and asked, "Xiaochuan's mother, is it raining?" Are you free to pick up the child? If not, I will pick it up for you."

Lin Lihua said: "If I'm free, I'll sort out the goods now, close the door for a while, and bring Xiao Chuan back."

"Okay." Qiqi's mother turned her head to look at Ruan Xinping. Ruan Xinping just fell ill yesterday, and her complexion is not so good today, and she is thin, so she looks a bit weak. Qiqi's mother said: "Dongdong mother, you also go Picking up the winter cub? Or you don’t want to pick it up, it’s raining heavily, and when I picked up Qiqi Xiaojun, I brought the winter cub back by the way, so you don’t have to run again.”

Ruan Xinping said warmly: "It's okay, I'll pick him up by myself, my family is sensitive, if he sees other people's mothers coming but his mother doesn't, he will feel depressed."

"How could it be? Dongzai is very sensible and considerate. I must understand you. To be honest, I have lived for more than 30 years, and I have never seen such a sensible child as Dongzai."

"I don't want him to be ignorant. It's best to be like Qiqi Xiaochuan." Ruan Xinping really likes children like Qiqi and He Xiaochuan, who can act like a baby, get angry and rely on their mother, which is very good.

"What's so good." Qiqi's mother said with a look of disgust: "In addition to eating, our Qiqi's other things are more than enough, and he especially cries. He cries when he can't finish his homework. I cry even at school, I can cry eight hundred times a day! It's not like a winter cub that makes people hurt."

Ruan Xinping said flatly: "It's just too painful, it makes people feel distressed."

Speaking of heartache, Qiqi's mother also loves Lin Dong. After all, she is really too sensible. The so-called "wisdom will hurt", maybe it means Lin Dong. She doesn't know how to comfort Ruan Xinping. After thinking about it, she just He said in a big way, saying: "It's okay, I'm still young, my parents love me a lot, and play with Qiqi and the others, I will soon become lively and cheerful, and I will definitely grow up healthily in the future."

Ruan Xinping nodded in agreement, and then asked Ruan Xinning to help look at Zaizai's grocery store, while she walked towards Jinli Primary School with Lin Lihua, Qiqi's mother, and Xinghe's mother, holding small rain boots and an umbrella. Many parents with umbrellas have already stood.

Ruan Xinping, Lin Lihua and the others couldn't squeeze in, so they stood behind and waited. After a while, the bell rang for the end of get out of class, and a group of children ran out of the school. The small schoolbag came out.

Qiqi's mother shouted: "Qiqi, Xiaojun!"

Xinghe's mother called: "Xinghe."

Lin Lihua shouted: "Dongdong, Xiaochuan!"

"mom!"

"Auntie!"

"aunt!"

All five children ran towards Lin Lihua and the others, including Lin Dong. Lin Dong ran to Lin Lihua and followed him. He was happy when he saw a familiar figure behind Lin Lihua. He tilted his head and saw Ruan Xinping and immediately shouted: "Ah! Mom! "

Ruan Xinping laughed, with an indelible tenderness in her eyes.

"Mom!" Lin Dong was very excited: "Mom, you are here to pick me up!"

"Well, Mom is here to pick you up." Ruan Xinping knelt down, hugged Lin Dong first, kissed Lin Dong's forehead, and said with a sense of ritual: "Honey, you're out of school."

Lin Dong nodded: "Yeah."

"Your teacher didn't procrastinate today."
