Zai Zai Grocery Store

Lin Dong had just gone to order food, and Second Uncle Lin and the others clamored to leave again. Ruan Xinping and Pei Shiwei enthusiastically persuaded him to stay, saying that Ruan Xinlei would come over after a while, and he would count the money when he came, which was fair and just and good for everyone.

But Second Uncle Lin and the others didn't dare to count. They were so scared that they quickly declined. No matter what Pei Zhiwei tried, they didn't want to stay. They hurriedly broke free, walked out of the living room in a panic, and rushed out of the courtyard.

As a result, the six people rushed too fast, and they bumped into the courtyard door, and the courtyard door slammed into a "clang" sound, which felt painful, but they didn't notice it, and came out of Lin Dong's courtyard as if fleeing. trot away.

Pei Zhiwei shouted from behind: "His second uncle, let's go after dinner."

Second Uncle Lin waved his hands while running: "No, no, no."

"After dinner, I'll take you back home."

"No need, no need."

Second Uncle Lin and others trotted all the way, turned a corner, and they stopped at the same time, panting together, panting and panting, they felt that today's matter was really useless, too useless, and there was faint dissatisfaction in their hearts, Second Aunt Lin He even asked directly: "Are we leaving like this?"

Uncle Lin asked back, "What if we don't leave?"

"Are we raising Lin Dong for nothing?"

"Otherwise, what should I do? What do you say? Wait here for her brother, the judge, to take us to the court?"

Second Aunt Lin was speechless.

Uncle Lin Dong, Third Aunt, and the others looked very angry.

Uncle Lin is also unhappy, but what can I do?They can't rely on the law no matter how much they rely on, and they can't afford to offend the rich and powerful... Second Uncle Lin said angrily: "Go home!"

Uncle Lin Dong asked: "Is that how you went home?"

Uncle Lin didn't speak.

Uncle Lin Dong asked again: "Will you come again?"

Second Uncle Lin thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Come on!"

"What are you doing here?"

"Find Lin Lihua!"

"Why hit her?"

"Let her pay for her parents' grave."

"Will she give money?"

"No way!"

Second Uncle Lin's voice was so loud that it obstructed the big black dog gnawing bones in the corner. The big black dog bared its teeth at Second Uncle Lin and the others immediately. Second Uncle Lin and the others were stimulated at Lin Dong's house, so there was no need to suffer from a big black dog. The black dog was angry, so I didn't know who among the six people, picked up half a brick, and smashed it at the big black dog. Fortunately, the big black dog was quick to react, but it didn't run away, but Second Uncle Chonglin rushed over quickly.

Uncle Lin and the others were terrified, so they hurried up and ran, desperately, running all the way to the small road, but they couldn't hear the dog barking. Six people slowed down and looked back. Uncle Lin walked while looking back, and one of them didn't He noticed a child, and he was about to yell at him when he fixed his eyes on Lin Dong.

Lin Dong.

Lin Dong took Mu Xinghe to Xiaowang Restaurant to order food. Just after ordering, Mu Xinghe had to go to the bathroom. Lin Dong was waiting at the entrance of Xiaowang Restaurant, waiting for a big white goose raised by Xiaowang Restaurant. Seeing that Lin Dong was going to chase him, Lin Dong hurriedly told Mu Xinghe in fright, and then ran away. Unexpectedly, he bumped into Second Uncle Lin as soon as he got rid of the big white goose.

Lin Dong was startled immediately.

Second Uncle Lin looked at Lin Dong, but became even angrier. He let out all the cowardice he had just suffered, pointed at Lin Dong and yelled, "Little wild species, you don't have eyes!"

Lin Dong trembled in fright.

Second Aunt Lin stepped forward and asked, "Is his father okay?"

Second Uncle Lin brushed his arm and said, "It's all right."

Lin Dong stared at the six people with dark eyes, then moved timidly, ready to leave, but he was dragged back after taking two steps, he was startled, and turned to look at Second Uncle Lin .

Second Uncle Lin grabbed the hood of Lin Dong's hoodie and said, "You don't know how to shout when you see anyone, you're dumb, aren't you?"

Lin Dong pursed his lips and remained silent.

"Don't you know it's called Second Uncle?"

Lin Dong just kept silent.

"I'm your second uncle, this is your uncle, aunt, third aunt, third uncle, don't you know how to call someone? Huh? You are a white-eyed wolf for nothing!"

Uncle Lin loosened Lin Dong's hat while talking, and instead grabbed Lin Dong's ear to talk to Lin Dong. Lin Dong was too young when he lived in the Lin family, and he can't remember too many things now, including He once sat alone in a dark room for a day, was beaten by his elder brother, pushed by his elder sister, and ordered to work. Scared, like he doesn't even know how to resist now.

The more he didn't resist, the more Uncle Lin became angrier. He couldn't help but want to use his strength. Just as he was about to pull Lin Dong's ear, he suddenly heard someone shout, "Lin Dong!"

Second Uncle Lin turned his head and saw the four children who had just been looking for teeth. He didn't pay attention to the four children at all, but Mu Xinghe and the others regarded Second Uncle Lin as an enemy, and they rushed at Second Uncle Lin at the same time. Uncle, holding Second Uncle Lin's arms and biting, Second Uncle Lin let go of Lin Dong with a scream.

But Mu Xinghe, He Xiaochuan, Qiqi and Jiang Xiaojun didn't let go, Second Uncle Lin quickly shook his arms, Second Aunt Lin and others hurried forward to pull Mu Xinghe and the other four, He Xiaochuan was the first to be torn apart.

He Xiaochuan sat down on the ground, but he didn't cry. He murmured, "Mom, mom, the second uncle beat Lin Dong." At the door of the grocery store, I saw Lin Lihua, Ruan Xinping, and Pei Shiwei.

The three of Lin Lihua were discussing to find Lin Dong, lest Lin Dong run into Second Uncle Lin and the others, when they turned around and saw He Xiaochuan running back panting.

Lin Lihua asked: "Xiao Chuan, what are you doing so fast?"

He Xiaochuan didn't have time to catch his breath, so he finished speaking in one breath: "Mom! Second Uncle and the others are beating Lin Dongxinghe and the others!"

Lin Lihua, Ruan Xinping, and Pei Zhiwei immediately changed their expressions and asked together, "Where are you?"

He Xiaochuan stretched out his hand and pointed backward.

Lin Lihua, Ruan Xinping, and Pei Zhiwei immediately ran over there. When they reached the intersection, they saw Mu Xinghe, Qiqi, and Jiang Xiaojun guarding Lin Dong in the middle, and then bouncing back and forth among the six adults, especially the older ones. Mu Xinghe and Jiang Xiaojun knew that He Xiaochuan had gone to find other adults, so the two of them hugged Second Uncle Lin's arm together. No matter how the adults pulled and threw them, they would not let go until Lin Lihua, Ruan Xinping, When Pei Zhiwei arrived, Mu Xinghe and Jiang Xiaojun still did not let go.

But Uncle Lin Dong and the others stopped talking about Mu Xinghe and Jiang Xiaojun.

Mu Xinghe looked at Lin Lihua and the three of them and asked, "Is my father here?"

Lin Lihua said, "It's coming soon."

That is, it hasn't come yet, and neither Mu Xinghe nor Jiang Xiaojun let go.

Pei Zhiwei hurried forward, protecting Mu Xinghe and Jiang Xiaojun, saying: "Xinghe, Xiaojun, let go first."

Mu Xinghe said firmly, "I won't let you go."

Pei Zhiwei said: "Let go first, let uncle handle anything."

Mu Xinghe said firmly: "Don't let go, I will wait for my father to come!"

"I'm coming!" Mu Huai'an's voice sounded.

Mu Xinghe turned his head and took a look. Not only did he see Mu Huai'an, but he also saw Xiaojun's father, He Qingzhang, Qiqi's father, Qiqi's mother, and neighbors from all over the place. Some of them were holding brooms in their hands. , wooden stick, Mu Xinghe shouted happily: "Father!"

Jiang Xiaojun also shouted: "Dad!"

Qiqi shouted even more happily: "Mom and Dad!"

The children were happy, but Second Uncle Lin was scared. He couldn't run away, so he could only admit he was cowardly, and quickly said it was a misunderstanding, saying that he saw Lin Dong jaywalking on the road just now, so he taught Lin Dong a few words, Mu Xinghe These children thought he was going to beat Lin Dong, so they came up to tease him without saying a word, but he didn't hurt these children at all, it was all a misunderstanding.

He is Lin Dong's second uncle. He has raised Lin Dong for more than three years. How could he really hit Lin Dong? He just told Lin Dong to be more careful when crossing the road next time, but the children like Mu Xinghe couldn't tell the severity of the adults. educational.

Second Uncle Lin said the truth, which made Mu Huai'an and the others feel that they might have made a fuss over a molehill. After all, children sometimes regard adults' "sternness" as "bad". Mu Huai'an and the others looked at Lin Lihua, and Lin Lihua pointed Second Uncle Lin scolded: "You are heartless, can you teach?"

Second Uncle Lin asked back: "Then, do I deserve to beat Lin Dong now? If you don't believe me, ask Lin Dong if I beat him? Lin Dong, did you say that Second Uncle beat you?"

Lin Dong didn't speak, but Mu Xinghe said, "It's done!"

"Where did I hit?"

"Pull Dongdong's ears!"

"Does ear pulling count as hitting? Your mother never pulled—"

"Forget it!" Without waiting for Mu Xinghe to answer, Ruan Xinping spoke first: "Putting ears counts as hitting, and it also counts as violence."

When Ruan Xinping said these words, her eyes were fixed on Lin Dong. She had been observing Lin Dong since she arrived at the intersection. Lin Dong was helping Mu Xinghe and Jiang Xiaojun drag Second Uncle Lin at the beginning, and there was a very clear look in her eyes. Resolute, he was happy when he saw his parents coming, but when he heard Second Uncle Lin's defense and saw the shaken by the adults, his eyes were uneasy and bewildered.

Ruan Xinping saw everything in her eyes, and she finally shouted: "I know."

Lin Dong finally looked at Ruan Xinping.

Ruan Xinping said, "Come here."

Lin Dong walked over with some trepidation.

Ruan Xinping knelt down, saw Lin Dong's red ears, endured the distress, and asked, "Tell mom, why is your second uncle pulling your ears?"

Lin Dong remained silent.

Ruan Xinping said softly, "It's okay, as long as you say it, mom will believe you, and mom will always believe you."

Lin Dong's mouth twitched.

Ruan Xinping said: "Honey, tell mom, mom and dad are the ones who decide for you."

Lin Dong's clear eyes stared at Ruan Xinping, as if someone had discovered the dark place in the deepest part of his heart, he finally said, "He called me Xiaoyezhong, I ignored him, he said I don't call him second uncle , He pulled my hat and strangled me, and pulled my ear."

Just as Lin Dong finished speaking, there was a sudden "bang", Pei Zhiwei punched Uncle Lin to the ground, Lin Dong was startled, and Ruan Xinping stood up slowly, holding Lin Dong's head with one hand , let him lean on his waist, pointed at Uncle Lin Dong and others who were going to fight with Pei Shiwei, and said, "None of you want to leave today!"

Second Uncle Lin and the others were taken aback.

Ruan Xinping turned to Mu Huai'an and the others and said, "Neighbors, please do me a favor today and stop these people. I must seek an explanation for my son."

Mu Huai'an, Qiqi's father and the others immediately got up and surrounded Second Uncle Lin and the others.

Second Uncle Lin quickly got up from the ground, pointed at Ruan Xinping and said, "How dare you!"

Ruan Xinping acted fearfully, and said, "Do you think I dare? Let me tell you, today you are scolding, beating and threatening my son. If I, Ruan Xinping, can't make you pay the price, my surname is not Ruan!"

Lin Ershu and others really didn't expect that Ruan Xinping, who was still soft-spoken just now, would be so terribly angry when he got angry. They broke out in sweat immediately, and when they looked at Pei Zhiwei again, Pei Zhiwei's expression became even more frightening. Pei Zhiwei's voice was low but powerful: "If you don't take off your skin, I'm not worthy to be Lin Dong's father!"

Second Uncle Lin's legs went limp from fright, and he sat on the ground paralyzed.

It was the first time for Lin Lihua and others to see Lin Dong's parents lose their temper. They didn't expect it to be so frightening. It was like a calm lake suddenly turning into stormy waves. No one could stand it, only silence.

Only Lin Dong felt that the turbulent waves were a kind of thorough baptism. He first looked at his father, then raised his small face to look at his mother, staring blankly. He suddenly felt that he had returned to a few years ago.

A few years ago, he was sitting alone in a dark and dead storage room. There were old books, old stools, and old clothes in the storage room. He was like a ghost in the dark, and there were rats screaming. He was terrified. He hugged his knees in fear and huddled in the corner of the wall. At this moment, a beam of light descended from his head, bringing brightness, warmth and safety. The name of this beam of light was Mom and Dad.
