Look at your broken teeth - if someone else said this, Lin Dong would definitely hold back his smile and hide the broken teeth so that no one would see them again.But this was said by Mu Xinghe. Mu Xinghe was different from others. Lin Dong still smiled and said, "I won't lose my teeth soon."

Mu Xinghe asked: "When is soon?"

Lin Dong thought for a while and replied, "One month."

"Why a month?"

"Because my new teeth have come out now."

"Did it come out?"

"Well, it's been a long time since they popped up, and I was able to lick them a long time ago."

"Let me see, don't lick your new teeth in the future, or it will grow very slowly. Come here, let me see."

Lin Dong immediately approached Mu Xinghe.

Mu Xinghe immediately held Lin Dong's small face, looked into Lin Dong's mouth, and saw a small white tooth protruding from the pink and tender flesh, which was very cute, and he said happily: " It really came out."

"Well, when it grows up, I won't have a broken tooth."

"Yes, you look better."

"do I look good?"

"nice."

"Does my watch look good?"

"You look better than a watch."

"But I think the watch looks good too."

Mu Xinghe nodded and said, "Yes, if you have a watch, you won't be late when you come back, and your mother won't be sick again."

Lin Dong was very happy, and said, "Then I'll show it to my mother."

Mu Xinghe stood up and said, "Okay, I'm going home too."

Lin Dong stood up and asked, "Are you going home?"

Mu Xinghe said: "Well, because my aunt is here, I want to go home to accompany her."

"Okay, then I'll play with you when mom wakes up."

"Well, I'm leaving."

Seeing Mu Xinghe running towards home, Lin Dong also ran towards the living room wearing his watch. The living room was empty. He knew that his father was working in the study and his aunt was writing in his room. He didn't bother him, but slowly Walking to the master bedroom, he gently opened the door of the master bedroom a crack, lying on the crack of the door and seeing his mother move twice, he called out softly.

"Mother."

Ruan Xinping just woke up, turned her head to look over, saw Lin Dong, immediately smiled softly, and called softly: "Baby, you're back." She didn't mean to blame at all.

Lin Dong immediately walked to the head of the bed, lay down on Ruan Xinping's neck, put his arms around Ruan Xinping's neck, and began to cry softly.

Ruan Xinping was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Zhiran, what's wrong?"

Lin Dong hugged Ruan Xinping's neck and said nothing.

Ruan Xinping quickly held Lin Dong's small face and said, "Baby, what's wrong?"

Lin Dong said softly, "Mom, I'm sorry."

"what happened?"

"I came back so late today that I made you sick."

Ruan Xinping smiled and said, "It's not your fault, it's mom's fault."

"It's my fault. I fell asleep playing and came back late."

"No, baby." Ruan Xinping leaned forward and kissed Lin Dong's forehead, and said softly, "Baby, no, children are very cute when they are playful, it's mother's fault, mother didn't control her emotions, don't cry , when you cry, mom wants to cry too."

As soon as he heard that his mother was about to cry, Lin Dong stopped crying immediately, wiped his eyes with two small hands at the same time, wiped away the tears from his eyes, and saw the watch on his wrist, and immediately thought of his intention just now , quickly said: "Mom, don't cry, I won't come back so late in the future, you see, I have a watch now, and I can tell the time with a watch."

Lin Dong raised his small arms to show Ruan Xinping.

Ruan Xinping asked, "Where did you get the watch?"

Lin Dong said happily: "Xinghe gave it to me."

"It's beautiful, do you like it?"

"I like it. I will go home on time in the future, and my mother will not get sick."

Ruan Xinping's heart warmed, and she asked, "So, you wear the watch because of your mother?"

Lin Dong nodded.

Ruan Xinping felt warm and sour in her heart now, she stretched out her hand and hugged Lin Dong tightly into her arms, what should I do, her son is so good, he always thinks of her, but she wants to deprive him of his playful and innocent nature, this is not possible, This would become a burden on her son, she secretly decided to divert her attention from life, she couldn't force her son like this, it made her feel bad, so she began to discuss with Pei Shiwei about picking up her job.

Pei Zhiwei asked: "Do you want to continue singing?"

Ruan Xinping smiled and said, "What is my favorite, don't you know?"

Pei Zhiwei said, "Write a song."

"Yeah." Ruan Xinping nodded: "Singing has been shelved for four or five years, and it's not easy to pick up the good voice I used to have, but I've always liked writing songs. After a few years of ups and downs, I think I should write better than before."

Pei Shi smiled and said, "It will definitely be better than before."

Ruan Xinping smiled softly and said: "This way I can also divert my attention, otherwise it will be too hard. I don't want him to be tied up by my mentally abnormal mother all the time. I want him to be as lively and lovely as Xinghe Qiqi and the others." .”

Pei Zhiwei held Ruan Xinping's hand and said, "Don't say that about yourself, you are fine, and we know that we will get better and better."

"Then you agree?"

Pei Shi smiled and said gently, "I support your decision."

"Then let's discuss it with Zhiran."

"Row."

Ruan Xinping called Lin Dong over, and told her that she was going to work at home, that she would not be able to be with him all the time when she was going to work, and asked him to play with the children more, as long as she said in advance.

Lin Dong asked, "Mom, are you going to write a song?"

Ruan Xinping nodded.

Lin Dong opened his bright eyes wide, as if he had discovered something extraordinary, he gave a thumbs up and said, "Mom, you are so amazing."

Ruan Xinping was amused by his son's cute appearance.

Pei Zhiwei also laughed.

Lin Dong didn't know what the adults were laughing at, but when he saw the adults were all laughing, he also laughed dryly twice, politely yet awkwardly, it was so cute that Ruan Xinping and Pei Shiwei hugged him and kissed him directly. He deformed his little face, and now he really smiled happily.

Together with his father, he encourages his mother to work. He also earnestly writes his summer homework and writes on time every day. After finishing writing, he plays with Mu Xinghe, He Xiaochuan, Qiqi, and Jiang Xiaojun. Going home on time to see his parents, he didn't worry his parents, and he didn't delay playing. He didn't know what he played before.

Like making a slingshot,

like guessing riddles,

like climbing a tree,

Like throwing mud,

For example, they drilled a dog hole into the school and used the school table tennis table to play table tennis. After being kicked out by the old school watchman, the five children went home and used the stool as a table tennis table to play and so on.

Lin Dong followed Mu Xinghe and the others to run around every day. He was not afraid of the wind, the sun or the sun. Mu Xinghe and the others were all tanned, but Lin Dong not only didn't get tanned, but he seemed to have grown taller and fatter, and he was much more lively.

Ruan Xinping looked at the numbers on the electronic scale and said happily, "I'm really fat! I'm three catties fatter than I was a month ago."

Pei Zhiwei said: "Awesome! I have grown taller and gained weight."

Lin Dong was very happy and said, "Now I can sit on the stool of the third grade!"

Pei Zhiwei asked suspiciously: "Did you not be able to sit on the stool of the third grade before?"

"I can't sit on it." Lin Dong explained to his parents. Because the students in preschool, first grade and second grade are relatively small, the tables and stools are relatively short. The third grade is a college student, and the tables and stools are taller. When he was in the second grade, there happened to be a table and stool for senior grades next to the podium, and he didn’t sit on it. Xinghe hugged it for him: “I’ve grown taller this time. I can sit on the stool by myself."

When Ruan Xinping heard this, she looked at her son with gentle eyes like water, and smiled.

Pei Zhiwei asked, "Then have you finished your summer homework?"

Lin Dong nodded: "I have finished writing, and I have written three more articles in my weekly diary."

"So great."

"Well, Xiaojun wanted to buy two of my weekly diaries for one yuan, but I didn't sell them."

"..." There is still such an operation, Pei Zhiwei asked again: "Xiaojun didn't finish his summer homework?"

"No, Xiaochuan and Qiqi haven't finished writing either, but Xinghe and I have finished."

"Xiao Chuan didn't finish writing either?"

"Well, Ogawa won't."

"What should I do?"

"I'll teach him in a while."

"Baby is so good!" Pei Zhiwei reached out to touch Lin Dong's small face.

Lin Dong liked his parents to praise him, so he was very happy. After telling his parents, he walked from the small gate of his own yard to the yard of Zaizai's grocery store. He went to the grocery store to sell groceries for a while, and then came to He Xiaochuan's room , teaching He Xiaochuan to do his summer homework, and after a while, both Qiqi and Jiang Xiaojun came to play with He Xiaochuan.

Lin Dong asked, "Qiqi, have you finished your summer homework?"

Kiki replied: "No."

"Xiaojun, have you finished writing?"

Jiang Xiaojun said, "No."

Lin Dong said seriously: "Then why don't you write? If you don't write about the ones that won't get new books when school starts, you won't be able to go to school."

Before Jiang Xiaojun could speak, Qiqi said first: "There is still one week before school starts! One week is so long!"

"Can it be finished in a week?"

"It will definitely be finished in a week!"

"If you don't write now, you won't be able to finish it."

"I can do it!" Qiqi didn't want to talk about the topic of "summer homework" because it was too heavy and heart-wrenching. He quickly changed the subject, pulled He Xiaochuan's sleeve, and said, "Xiaochuan, let's go out and play."

He Xiaochuan looked at Lin Dong, as if asking for Lin Dong's consent.

Lin Dong said seriously: "You have to do your summer homework, otherwise you won't be able to finish it."

He Xiaochuan said: "Alright then."

Qiqi said: "Oh, it's getting so dark, stop writing, and write tomorrow."

He Xiaochuan didn't want to write it in his heart, but he was afraid that Lin Dong would tell his mother, and then he would be beaten. Holding the pen in his hand, he secretly looked at Lin Dong. Lin Dong was like a little teacher, but he didn't let go. The three children, Jiang Xiaojun and Jiang Xiaojun, were facing each other. At this moment, with a soft "bang", the light in the room went out, and the room was pitch black.

Immediately, the sound of "power outage, power outage" came from the small town, and Qiqi was happy: "ah, power outage, now I don't have to do my summer homework!"

Lin Dong: "..."

Kiki said, "Let's go play."

Jiang Xiaojun said, "Let's go."

Before Lin Dong moved, he heard He Xiaochuan cry "Wow", Lin Dong hurriedly asked, "Xiaochuan, what's wrong with you?"

He Xiaochuan cried and said, "I'm afraid of the dark."

"Don't be afraid, don't cry, you hold my hand."

"Where are you?" He Xiaochuan waved his chubby hand in the dark.

"I'm here, here." Lin Dong grabbed He Xiaochuan's chubby hand and said, "Stand up, let's go, slow down, don't fall, hold me up."

"it is good."

Lin Dong pulled He Xiaochuan and followed Qiqi Jiang Xiaojun out of the room. Pei Zhiwei came over with a flashlight. Seeing that Lin Dong's children had come out, he breathed a sigh of relief and sent Lin Dong and the others out of the Zaizai grocery store.

At this time, a lot of people gathered in front of Zaizai’s grocery store, some were enjoying the shade, some were buying candles, some were buying matches, some were buying lighters, and some were buying fans.

Lin Dong knew that his uncle had gone to the city for training, and there was only his aunt, so he immediately helped her to sell things. When the sales were about the same, many people gathered standing or sitting on the road where the grocery store was located. Those who came out, men and women were all dressed very coolly, holding fans and chatting while fanning.

Even Pei Shiwei and Ruan Xinping came out, and the children gathered together to play various games by the light of the candles in Zaizai's grocery store, such as eagles catching chickens, hide-and-seek, one, two, three wooden men are not allowed to move, For example, playing house, Lin Dong knows how to play these things, and it happened that Mu Xinghe also came, so he played with Mu Xinghe and the others.

From time to time, the adults reminded "Don't go crazy", "It's so hot, can't you take a rest for a while", "Be careful, don't fall", etc., but the children didn't listen at all, and they lost themselves in playing, while the adults waited anxiously. When I got a call, I could go into the room and blow on the air-conditioning fan to sleep, but the director of Dongda Street came to inform me that there was a traffic accident on a certain road, and I was fine, but the telegraph pole was knocked and pulled to Jinli Township The line in this area is broken, so there is no way to have electricity today.

The adults were wailing, how to sleep in this hot day, the wailing was wailing, the adults carried their beds outside one after another, set up mosquito nets, and prepared to sleep outside.

Seeing that everyone was going to sleep on the road, the children were a little excited, and so was Lin Dong, who ran to Pei Shiwei and asked, "Dad, shall we sleep outside too?"

Pei Zhiwei asked back: "Do you want to sleep outside?"

Lin Dong nodded: "Yeah."

"Then we'll sleep outside."

Lin Dong smiled happily.

Pei Zhiwei said, "However, there's no time left on the road. Let's sleep in the yard, okay?"

Lin Dong nodded.

Pei Zhiwei and Ruan Xinping discussed it, let Ruan Xinning sleep in the cool living room, they took Lin Dong to sleep in the yard, Pei Zhiwei got Mu Huaian to carry the bed to the yard, then helped Lin Lihua carry the bed out of the grocery store, and finally After giving Lin Dong a bath, he slept in the courtyard with his wife and children.

Just after lying down for a while, Mu Xinghe and Qiqi came to call Lin Dong, saying that Qiqi's house has a big bed that can sleep many people, and it is very cool in the air vent, so Lin Dong should go to sleep too. So Lin Dong went to sleep happily, and Lin Dong came back after a while.

Pei Zhiwei asked curiously, "Why are you back?"

Lin Dong replied, "There was a fight."

"Who fought?"

"Qiqi, Xiaochuan and Xiaojun fought, and then Xinghe made them all cry. Uncle Mu grabbed Xinghe's ear and dragged Xinghe away. Xiaochuan also went home, and Xiaojun was killed by him. Dad shouted away, and I came back."

Pei Zhiwei said helplessly, "You five..."

"It's okay, kid." Ruan Xinping stretched out her arms to Lin Dong with a smile, and said softly, "Honey, then come and sleep with my mother."

Lin Dong immediately climbed onto the bed happily and threw herself into Ruan Xinping's arms.

Pei Zhiwei followed suit and got into bed.

The family of three lay under the sky full of stars, looking at the twinkling stars together, Ruan Xinping asked, "Honey, aren't you talking to grandpa today?"

Lin Dong said: "I told him yesterday, I won't talk about it today, I will talk about it tomorrow."

"Yo, you still let grandpa rest."

Lin Dong smiled and said, "Well, grandpa is old, and he will get tired if he talks too much."

"Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow, how about mom and dad tell you a story?"

"it is good."

"Let Dad tell or let Mom tell?"

"Dad tells one, and Mom tells one."

"The baby has to tell one too."

"it is good."

Pei Zhiwei first told a story about a small animal, Ruan Xinping told a fairy tale about a family, and Lin Dong told his parents a story from a second-grade book, softly and softly, soothing the summer pain The heat made Pei Shiwei and Ruan Xinping a lot cooler. One of them held Lin Dong's small hand, put his head against Lin Dong's small head, and kept Lin Dong tightly between them until he fell asleep.

Sleeping until dawn the next day, it suddenly started raining, and Lin Dong was carried into the room in a daze. They didn’t know it was raining until they saw Jiang Xiaojun. The reason why Jiang Xiaojun knew it was because their parents ran away. When they entered the house, they remembered that they were still asleep on the other bed in the rain. Fortunately, Jiang Xiaojun and Qiqi were very sturdy, and they were fine even in the rain. They continued to play happily until the official The day before school starts.

He Xiaochuan, Qiqi, and Jiang Xiaojun began to worry. They opened their eyes and began to write their summer homework. The three children wrote together, and Lin Dong and Mu Xinghe sat aside as guides and accompanying writers. Will He Xiaochuan and Jiang Xiaojun meet? Qiqi asked Lin Dong and Mu Xinghe about the topic, but Qiqi didn't ask any questions, and wrote until the afternoon, Qiqi said happily: "Ah, I finished writing!"

He Xiaochuan was startled.

Jiang Xiaojun didn't believe that Qiqi finished writing so quickly. Qiqi obviously didn't do much homework, so he knew how to play.

Lin Dong took Qiqi's winter homework to check, not to mention whether Qiqi's writing is right or wrong, whether it is language summer homework or arithmetic summer homework, Qiqi's homework has one thing in common, that is, the topic on one page. Write half or two-thirds of it, and leave out the rest, or write two or three pages, and leave out a blank page.

Lin Dong asked in surprise, "Qiqi, you're done writing?"

Qiqi: "Yeah."

"You haven't written so many topics."

"I can't write."

Lin Dong asked again: "If you don't know how to write, why don't you write?"

"Well, anyway, the teacher doesn't check it!" Qiqi said seriously: "When I handed in my summer homework last semester, the teacher just looked it up. The teacher won't check it seriously. I just write it like this."

"But you can't do that."

"Okay."

"No way."

"Okay."

Mu Xinghe said, "Qiqi, you are the smartest in the whole school."

Qiqi thought it was a compliment, and was very happy. Qiqi’s mother fried chicken tenders and called Qiqi to go home for dinner. Qiqi returned home with her summer homework, and happily went to school with Lin Dong and others the next morning. , first go to the classroom to hand in homework, then hold a meeting to distribute certificates, and then re-arrange seats to distribute new books. Lin Dong, Mu Xinghe, and Jiang Xiaojun enter the third-grade classroom. Qiqi and He Xiaochuan are now in the first year and will enter the first grade. classroom.

After the three of Lin Dong handed in their homework for the summer vacation, they came out with their classmates holding the stools, and went to the playground for a meeting. As they were walking, they found that Qiqi was carrying a small schoolbag, with a bulging belly, walking from one place to another with short, fat legs. When he came out of the grade classroom, he cried as soon as he left the classroom, and walked out of the school while crying, attracting the attention of many people. Lin Dong couldn't help shouting: "Qiqi."

Kiki turned his head and looked over.

Lin Dong asked, "What are you doing?"

Qiqi cried and replied, "I'm going home."

"What are you doing at home?"

"Write summer homework."

"Didn't you finish your summer homework?"

"The teacher said that I didn't finish my writing, and I had to fill it up before letting me go to school. Wow."

Lin Dong: "..."

Mu Xinghe: "..."
