Little husband's market life

Xu Shi cried too much today, and it was a conditioned reflex to cry, and Xiao Douding's tears piled up in his eye sockets almost instantly.

He flattened his mouth uncontrollably, the corners of his mouth twitched and twitched, and his little chin trembled twice.

He held up the clay bowl in his hand to cover his face, "Grandma... Let me."

He opened his mouth and found that he was choking, so he stopped, hurried in and put the egg custard on the desk in front of Sheng Yao, then lowered his head, took out his dinner from his arms, and held it forward.

Sheng Yao looked coldly at this clean little beggar, he was venting his anger.

I really don't understand why the child cried so much. He cried at the kitchen door in the afternoon, but now that it's dark, he still cries in front of him.

Sheng Yao didn't pick it up, but the four-year-old child in his arms did.He is short, so he can see the drops of water on Xiaodouding's eyelashes. After taking the bread, he even blinked his big eyes and poked his head to stare at Xiaodouding curiously.

With his hands empty, Xiao Douding turned around and ran out, out of Sheng Yao's study.

In the yard, my sister was still whispering to Grandma Sheng, so he stopped, and the cat went to the corner to sob silently, and he went out to find his sister when there were no more tears.

Sheng Yao took the pancake from Sheng Gang's hand, the pancake became hard when it was cold, and as soon as he squeezed it, he knew that it had cooled down after being heated for the second time.

Combined with the action of the child pulling it out of his arms, Sheng Yao immediately understood——

It is impossible for Fang to let his younger brother eat such cold, hard and rough food. This bread is for himself.

But Xiao Douding hid the pancakes in his bosom, and it was unlikely that Mrs. Fang asked him to bring them. Everyone in the Sheng family knew that he liked to be clean.

"Brother." Sheng Gang raised his head, his face was sickly pale, only his eyes were blue and yellow, but it was even more frightening. He pointed to the pottery bowl with his little finger, "I'll eat it myself."

"Yeah." Sheng Yao put down the pancake, lightly held the little brother's body with his hands, picked him up and put him on his lap, and let the little guy eat egg custard with a wooden spoon.

After the younger brother ate by himself, he turned his attention to the noodles again.His own father didn't care that he was hungry, and grandma was even more angry that he used his body to annoy his father, and deliberately wanted to starve him for a long memory.

The two siblings, Sheng Yan and Sheng Xue, never gave anything to him, even to his younger brother Sheng Gang, who was sick from the womb, they were seldom close.

Unexpectedly, the person who cared about his hunger turned out to be a little beggar.

**

Sheng Yao let out a long breath. After hearing the sound of sniffing outside, Sheng Yao cleared his throat and said loudly, "Come in."

It was very quiet outside, the sound of a needle falling.

Sheng Yao spoke again this time, his tone full of impatience, "Come in for me."

Xiao Douding wiped away his tears, and walked hesitantly to the door of the study. He stared in with his big eyes, with a timid and tentative look in his eyes. Because he didn't understand the situation, he opened his mouth slightly, looking a little dazed.

Sheng Yao met his gaze and didn't speak, but he felt oppressive.

Xiao Douding tried to raise his legs to cross the threshold, then walked up to Sheng Yao and stood anxiously in front of Sheng Yao.

"Fang's...what did the person who brought you back tell you?" Sheng Yao didn't know that this little Douding was dragged by Sheng Xue to overhear him arguing with his elders.

There was a trace of bewilderment in Xiaodouding's eyes. He shook his head to express that he didn't say anything. He was afraid that he might make a mistake, so he asked in a low voice, "What did you say?"

"Why did you come to my Sheng's house?"

Xiao Douding thought about it carefully, and shook his head again, "Auntie didn't tell me, she told them..."

"Who?" Sheng Yao raised his eyebrows and asked.

Xiao Douding lowered his voice and replied, "Pat Huazi."

Look at him scared, as if the voice is louder, Pai Huazi will appear and take him away.

Seeing this, Sheng Yao sighed silently.

Sheng Yao still didn't know that he didn't ask about the conversation, the kid in front of him was so stubborn, he should have asked what the kid knew, not what Fang had said to him.

Therefore, Sheng Yao thought that this little beggar knew nothing.

"Take it back and eat it yourself." Sheng Yao returned the dough cake to Xiao Douding, and when he handed it over, he found that there was a small tooth mark on the dough cake, so he moved even more neatly, and directly stuffed the dough cake into Xiao Douding's hand .

Xiao Douding was holding the pancake, and stared dazedly at the big tall man standing up, holding the baby in one hand, and egg custard in the other, and put the baby and the bowl on the table next to the wall.

Sheng Yao flexed his fingers and scratched his younger brother's thin face, "You eat by yourself, brother is going to write."

Sheng Gang didn't raise his head, and continued to scoop up egg custard with a wooden spoon in his little hand.

Sheng Yao turned his head to look at Xiao Douding, "Come and watch over him and eat your cake."

Xiao Douding went over obediently and stood there, looking at Sheng Gang with her big black eyes, only then did she realize that this four-year-old child looks a little... not good-looking.

The child's eyes are big in themselves, and the eyelids and eye circles are blue and yellow, making the eyes even bigger. His pale complexion and sunken cheeks all tell others that he is in poor health.

Xiao Douding didn't have any fear in his eyes. He was thinking that when his mother was still alive, he always hugged him and described his childhood to him. Shouldn't he be like this when he was a child?

But he will be fine when he grows up, so he has to watch his brother eat obediently, because he will be fine when he grows up.

Sheng Gang's small hands were not flexible, the pottery bowl was rough, and there was a lot of egg custard on the bowl, but the thick wooden spoon couldn't scoop it up anyway, so he pushed the pottery bowl away with his small hands, and stopped eating.

Xiao Douding glanced at the pottery bowl. He thought it was a waste, so he took a small piece of bread to scrape off the egg custard, and handed it to his brother, "Wow."

After hearing this, Sheng Yao moved the brush away, looked up at the two little guys, saw that his foodie brother had already opened his mouth, and hurriedly stopped him, "Don't give it to him."

Xiao Douding, who was extremely timid, shook his hands in fright, quickly withdrew his hands, turned around and looked at Sheng Yao in a daze, with a pitiful look of 'did I get into trouble'.

Sheng Yao didn't want to bully the little man, so he explained in a rare way, "He can't chew."

His tone was extremely stiff.

Xiao Douding heaved a sigh of relief, and stuffed the noodle cake dipped in egg custard into his mouth. Thinking of destroying the 'stolen items' quickly, he swallowed it without much chewing.

Seeing this, Sheng Yao withdrew his eyes and continued to write, thinking that this little beggar is like a cat, so he really shouldn't be scared.

And the third little person in the room, when Sheng Gang looked at Xiaodouding again, his eyes sparkled, and he shouted crisply: "Little brother!"

The little man was overjoyed, he was in poor health, he was a sick "debt collector" in the adults, and a natural "medicine pot" in the mouths of the cousins.

This was the first time that someone didn't dislike him, and was willing to eat his leftover food, not afraid of being overwhelmed by him.

"Huh?" Xiao Douding responded softly, and he was the first person in the Sheng family to smile at him, and the first person to accept him.

In fact, Sheng Yao often explained in front of his cousins ​​that Sheng Gang's illness would not be passed on to others. If he could pass on his illness, he and his grandma would have been ill long ago.

Sheng Gang was weak from birth, and when he was two years old, he had a heart-piercing cough every day. The child was in pain, and the mother's heart was in pain. He took Sheng Gang away and asked him to raise him himself.

At the beginning, Fang He stopped Fang He from seeing him, fearing that Fang He would seek death if he saw his youngest son suffering from illness, so after a month of delay, Fang He himself gradually stopped coming.Up to now, Sheng Gang has lived with his grandmother and elder brother for two years, and he is also four years old.

Both the eldest brother and the grandmother cherish him, and they are meticulous, but he has no little friends...

He wanted to get close to this little brother who didn't dislike him.

While writing, Sheng Yao listened to the two children playing with bowls and spoons. The little man was afraid of disturbing others, so he suppressed his voice, hissing this one, hissing that one, deceiving his ears, extremely cute.

In the past, he would have pushed people out loudly, but when he saw the innocent and lively smile on his younger brother's face, he didn't feel bothered anymore, he just thought these small movements were very cute.

After Sheng Xue coaxed the old lady for her mother, she went into the house and took Xiao Douding away again.

Xiao Douding slept in the utility room in the yard of Sheng's family that night. The room was full of messy bamboo baskets. It was dark and there was no oil lamp. He slept on a bamboo bed made by farmers.

The bamboo bed used to be placed in the yard for young children to rest, so that when the adults are busy in the yard, the children can sleep under their noses, and adults and children can feel at ease, but now it is Xiaodouding's alone. bed.

Xiao Douding, who was relaxed, didn't get a good night's sleep. When he closed his eyes, he saw the scene of following his sister-in-law into the county town. He didn't want to go!

Because if he goes there, he will be taken away by Pai Hanako, and his sister-in-law acts as if she doesn't know him, hiding in the crowd of onlookers with cold eyes...

In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Douding was woken up by Sheng Xue. He was so ashamed, so he worked harder. His short legs kept tossing around, helping carry firewood to the kitchen, helping to light the fire, and helping to sweep the yard...

Although he was very tired, Sister Shengxue smiled at him many times and called him 'Qiaoer' affectionately. Aunt Fang He also gave him a boiled egg while having breakfast.

After breakfast, it was supposed to be Sheng Xue who delivered the food to the younger brother, but she gave it to Xiao Douding and went back to the yard to do her own business.

I went to the courtyard of the mistress of the Sheng family alone, and it was as quiet and peaceful as last night.

The old lady Sheng also responded to Xiao Douding's call this time, because last night her little grandson whispered to her before going to bed, saying that this little brother likes him.

Four-year-old Sheng Gang didn't sleep late. He couldn't sleep well. His throat would itch after a few hours of sleep. After waking up with a cough, he couldn't fall asleep. However, he would sleep several times during the day.

"Brother!" In the morning, Sheng Gang was wrapped up tightly and covered with a thick little robe, and he sat obediently on the threshold, holding a bamboo dragonfly in his hand.

Xiao Douding walked over and smiled shyly at the little guy.

Sheng Gang has a new friend, he doesn't want grandma to feed him, "I want brother!"

"Okay." Mrs. Sheng waved to Xiao Douding with a bowl, motioning for the child to come over, "Come here, baby, come and feed my brother."

Sheng Gang's breakfast is noodles under the chicken soup simmered last night. The noodles are boiled rotten and served with delicious chicken soup.

When Sheng Yao came back after breakfast, he saw the little beggar as soon as he entered the room. He knew that the little brother was going to be happy all day today.
