There is a wife at home

"This...that idiot Ah Qing, where did he get such a doll!"

The old man Zhang was stunned, his mouth was so long that he could stuff an egg, but the old lady Zhang smiled lovingly at the child, and said, "Don't be afraid, baby, tell grandma, how old are you? What's your name?" ah?"

The baby looked at Mrs. Zhang, didn't speak, and shrank into the bed again.

Mrs. Zhang coaxed her to ask several times, but the doll didn’t speak, and her stomach groaned again. Mrs. Zhang suddenly remembered that she still had a pack of crispy candies in her pocket, which the old man bought for her when he came back from the county. She is not willing to eat it on weekdays. The few bags she bought during the Chinese New Year have been eaten since the beginning of spring. This is the last bag. Granny Zhang took out the bag of crispy candy, carefully opened the wrapping paper, and spread out the oil paper inside. , a sweet sesame scent wafted out, the baby stared at the crispy candy, his eyes were straightened, and he kept swallowing.

"This is crispy candy. It's sweet and fragrant. It's delicious. Grandma will give it to the doll, okay?"

As he spoke, he put the crispy candy on the edge of the bed, and took two steps back, watching the doll keep smiling without changing his face.

Old man Zhang saw that the doll really crawled out from the corner of the bed, and stretched out a pair of claws, similar to chicken feet, with no meat, but all bones. The eyes kept looking at the old couple, and after a long time, they hooked up a square piece of crispy candy and stuffed it into their mouths eagerly. The eagerness was worse than that of the communist wind.

"Cough cough..."

"Eat slowly, don't choke."

Seeing him coughing, Mrs. Zhang felt very distressed. The doll looked at her with a blushing face and lowered her head.

"This child, you still know how to feel embarrassed."

The old lady Zhang was even happier when she saw it, she smiled and told the old man that there was kindness in her eyes, the old man also looked at the doll, and saw that he had eaten -±⤬, took another ±⤬, this time it was special Slow down, take small bites, completely different from just now, after eating, I licked my fingers, saw some scum left on the bed, knelt down with my little hand, picked it up little by little, and stuffed it into my little mouth.

Mrs. Zhang said: "Don't ask for that one, there are more."

The baby looked at Mrs. Zhang, and the old man said, "Don't give it all to him, just eat two yuan. Don't you like it? Keep it for yourself. It's not easy to buy."

Old man Zhang didn't finish his sentence, the old lady turned her head and gave him a stern look, and said, "Speak petty words, can you be a little bit good, and you can tell a child that this is not ashamed."

As he spoke, he wrapped the crispy candy and stuffed it into the child's arms, then said, "My son eats by himself, don't bother about that grandpa."

The baby looked up and blinked at Mrs. Zhang, and suddenly smiled sweetly. A row of neat milky white teeth reflected on her black and yellow face, and Mrs. Zhang's heart melted.

Granny Zhang just wanted to reach out to hug him, when Ah Qing, who had come back from begging outside, saw the door was open, rushed in anxiously, opened her mouth and shouted: "Baby!"

This sound startled the old man and the old lady, and they saw Ah Qingfeng rushing over, holding a large blue bowl with a hole in his hand, and a cover on it, probably because he was afraid that the rice would be cold, so he put the bowl away. On the side of the bed, I came to hold the doll and looked at the old man Zhang, who was about to shed tears, and begged in a hoarse voice: "The doll is mine, it is my doll, my..."

Granny Zhang hurriedly comforted her: "Okay, okay, yours, yours, no one will take it from you, Ah Qing, don't worry, don't worry."

Ah Qing is prone to impulsiveness when he is stimulated. His eyes are red and he catches someone and beats him. As if he is dying, old man Zhang quickly pulls the old lady back a step. He is timid, but when it is time to protect his wife, Unambiguously, he stared at Ah Qing, his eyes were full of vigilance, he bowed his waist slightly, as long as Ah Qing's signs were wrong, he was ready to go over and subdue Ah Qing at any time.

At this moment, the baby in his arms suddenly reached out and pulled the corner of Ah Qing's clothes, took out the crisp candy that Granny Zhang had just stuffed for him from his pocket, and handed it to the tip of Ah Qing's nose, with a low voice like a mosquito, and said : "Fragrant, sweet, delicious..."

Excited, Ah Qing shed more tears, and he didn't look crazy at all. He pressed the crispy candy back into the doll's arms, and said in a trembling voice: "Daddy won't eat it, doll be good, eat by yourself, daddy a little bit." I'm not hungry either."

Looking at this scene, old man Zhang couldn't help but feel a little bit sad. Mrs. Zhang took out a crumpled cloth handkerchief from her bosom and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
