folded wings

When Zhang Xiaohui returned home, the gate outside the courtyard had been locked, but luckily the light inside was still on. She put down her shoulder pole and yelled a few times inside, but no one responded.

Unwilling, Zhang Xiaohui yelled a few more times, louder than before, and then the lights went out all of a sudden.

Zhang Xiaohui knew it at a glance, she probably fell asleep.

The sky outside was freezing to death, so Zhang Xiaohui couldn't help but squat down to find a place that was leeward and huddled in a corner, so that it might be warmer.

In order to keep warm, Zhang Xiaohui blew into her hands from time to time, which can relieve her for a while.

Looking at the weather outside, snowflakes are falling down one after another. This is the first snow this year. Now I don’t know how my grandma is doing. When she came out, she deliberately lit the stove. It’s so late that grandma is alone at home. What's wrong?

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaohui got up quickly, and wanted to go back to take a look at her grandma, when the courtyard door beside her was opened with a "squeak".

Zhang Xiaohui turned around and saw that the person who came was her mother.

Zhu Yanling was wrapped in a big padded jacket and was holding a coat in her hand. Seeing that Zhang Xiaohui's body was thin, she hurriedly put the clothes on her body.

"Oh, Xiaohui, what are you doing back so late? It's midnight."

Zhang Xiaohui sobbed and said, "Mother, grandma is seriously ill, can you go back and have a look, and there is no rice at home."

Out of rice?Zhu Yanling suddenly felt impatient: "Oh, do you take medicine when you're sick? Go buy it when you run out of rice. Why do you ask me..."

Zhang Xiaohui: "...but"

"But what?" Xiaohui said as Zhu Yanling glanced at the pole behind Zhang Xiaohui, and asked, "Did you go to the market today?"

Zhang Xiaohui nodded: But people were deceived. "

Zhu Yanling Fangfo didn't care about this issue. She put her hands in her sleeves, walked out of the courtyard door with broken feet, and walked directly to Zhang Xiaohui's side. She took a look at the shoulder pole, which seemed to be very valuable, and turned her head to face it. Zhang Xiaohui said: "Xiaohui! This is for my mother!"

After speaking, Zhu Yanling was about to take the pole into the courtyard.

Zhang Xiaohui stepped forward to support the heavy object on Zhu Yanling's shoulders, for fear that her mother would be crushed by the pole: "Mom, slow down!"

Before Zhang Xiaohui could react, Zhu Yanling pushed her away and said, "Come on, girl, what do you want to do?" Zhu Yanling asked very hostilely.

Zhang Xiaohui stood there obediently, and said aggrievedly: "Mother, I think that shoulder pole is too heavy, I want to help you, and... will you go back with me to see grandma, she misses you very much."

Zhu Yanling said: "I don't need your help, and I won't go back. The pole is mine. Also, it's too cold, so go back and see your grandma." After speaking, the door slammed shut.

Zhang Xiaohui turned around in frustration, this time there was no weight on her body anymore, stepping on the heavy snow, Zhang Xiaohui's heart was like stepping on the tip of a knife, at this moment her stomach suddenly started to growl, I was so hungry that I no longer had the strength.

She felt powerless all over her body. Zhang Xiaohui was dizzy and fell to the ground.

The wind mixed with the snow blowing past her ears, Zhang Xiaohui froze in place, completely unable to feel the intuition of the cold, and gradually lost her intuition in front of her eyes, could she be frozen to death here?Zhang Xiaohui thought so.

"Xiaohui, Xiaohui, why are you here?" Zhang Xiaohui seemed to hear someone calling herself while she was in a trance, but she didn't have the strength to respond.

At this time, she just felt as if she was being held in someone's arms. This feeling was familiar, and what was even more familiar was the scent.

When Zhang Xiaohui woke up, she didn't know how long it had been, but she only remembered that she was rescued by the heat, her head was heavy at this moment, and she glanced around, the house was very tidy, obviously not her own home.

The fire in the stove on the side was full of thieves, Zhang Xiaohui put on her clothes and got up.

At this time, a figure came over from the opposite side. "Huihui, you are up, come and have porridge!"

Zhang Xiaohui looked in surprise, the person opposite turned out to be Lin An, did she rescue her yesterday?

"Teacher, am I at your house?"

Lin An blew the porridge in the bowl, took a sip with a spoon, handed it to Zhang Xiaohui's mouth, and motioned: "Eat!"

Zhang Xiaohui swallowed, and felt her entire stomach warm up. She was really hungry, so she snatched the porridge and drank it down.

But it also scalded her half to death, Zhang Xiaohui clutched her chest and coughed non-stop, Lin An saw her like this, patted her back, and said nervously: "Huihui, don't do this, there is still in the pot."

After a while of relief, Zhang Xiaohui recovered. She felt that she was in a mess just now, especially in front of Lin An, so she retreated obediently to the corner.

Lin An saw that she suddenly became quiet, and she wanted to ask her many questions.

Said to Zhang Xiaohui: "Huihui, what happened to you yesterday, why did you faint in the snow in the middle of the night alone, tell the teacher quickly, what happened?"

Zhang Xiaohui suddenly remembered something, got out of bed, put on her shoes and was about to rush out the door, Lin An stopped her and said, "Huihui, where are you going?"

Zhang Xiaohui said: "Grandma, I'm sick, I want to go back and see her."

Lin An supported her shoulders and comforted her: "I'm going to your house, your grandma is fine, don't worry now."

Zhang Xiaohui finally calmed down with a hanging heart, "It's fine, it's fine."

Lin An saw that she was calmer, and said, "Huihui eats a lot, you seem to be hungry."

Zhang Xiaohui curled up in the corner, recalling what happened yesterday and said: "The money is gone, I was cheated, and grandma can't see a doctor."

Lin An asked again, "Did you go home just now?"

Zhang Xiaohui nodded.

Lin An: "Then...what did your mother say?"

Zhang Xiaohui looked at Lin An with red eyes, and asked again: "Teacher, you said just now that you went to see my grandma. I didn't go back yesterday. Is she like this?"

Lin An put down the bowl in her hand, supported her shoulder and said, "Oh, Huihui, it's just a cold, don't worry, your business is my business, the teacher told you so, don't you believe me?"

Lin An hugged Zhang Xiaohui in his arms, patted her on the shoulder, and said: "If Huihui is tired, she will lie in the teacher's arms and sleep for a while, and we will go home to see your grandma later. a little cold."

At this moment, Zhang Xiaohui was leaning against Lin An's arms, feeling an inexplicable sense of security, she just wanted to lean on her and didn't want to leave.

"By the way, what did you say yesterday that money was cheated?" Lin An asked again.

Zhang Xiaohui hugged Lin An tightly, and said aggrievedly: "Yesterday I went to sell bamboo shoots at the market, but someone exchanged a bunch of rotten vegetables with me and didn't sell any, so I was cheated."

Lin An smiled when she heard that, and said with a stick on her forehead: "Oh, little fool, you really, why didn't you ask me to come with you. That person is so bad, how could he have the heart to lie to you as cute as you are? It's too late, you really lied to my family Huihui, the bad guys are too bad."

Zhang Xiaohui got up and said to Lin An: "Teacher, I'm still worried about my grandma, I want to... go home and have a look."

Lin An got out of bed and helped her put on her shoes, touched the tip of her nose and said dotingly, "Okay! Teacher will accompany you."

The two held hands one after the other, Zhang Xiaohui held Lin An tightly at this time, the two walked quickly and arrived at the place in a short while.

As soon as Zhang Xiaohui saw the door, she rushed in. She wanted to see how grandma was doing.

Walking into the room, I saw two familiar figures, Zhu Yanling and her younger brother Zhang Changzhi, and Zhang Xiaohui stopped where they were, not knowing what to say.

Zhu Yanling was very surprised to see her daughter, she clapped her hands, and said with an ouch, "Xiaohui...is school over?"

Zhang Xiaohui took off her schoolbag and asked, "Mom, why are you here with your brother?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yanling asked again: "What? You don't want me to come? Your brother also misses his grandma, so come and see."

Zhang Xiaohui hurriedly explained: "No, mother, I didn't mean that, I hope, grandma misses you very much too."

Zhu Yanling looked at the person on the bed with a smile on her face, took her son's hand and said, "Mother, I brought your eldest grandson here for you to see."

Zhang Xiaohui saw that her grandma didn't pay attention to her, she just stretched out her hand to her, and said something vaguely in her mouth, Zhang Xiaohui hurriedly stepped forward to hold her grandma's hand, and asked with red eyes: "Grandma, what's wrong with you."

Grandma got up by Zhang Xiaohui's hand and said: "Xiaohui, why don't you go to school, you went yesterday, where did you go, sir, the teacher is looking for you."

Zhang Xiaohui held her grandmother's hand tightly, shook her head and said, "I'm fine, grandma, are you feeling better?"

Grandma's face was obviously pale, and she nodded lightly in order not to worry Zhang Xiaohui.

"Grandma! At this time, Lin An came in behind with a big bag and a small bag." Zhang Xiaohui was very surprised when she heard the voice: "Teacher, why..."

Lin An squinted his eyes at Zhang Xiaohui, held up the delicious food in his hand and said, "Look, Huihui, I went to buy delicious food, and I can make it later."

Zhang Xiaohui stepped forward, saw that the bag was full of food that Tong had never seen before, raised her head and asked, "Teacher, where did you buy it?"

Lin An deliberately kept it secret: "I won't tell you!"

Zhang Xiaohui: "Teacher, I..." Zhang Xiaohui was just about to reach out to grab some delicious food, but at this moment, Zhang Changzhi who was standing beside her was even quicker and snatched the bag away.

Holding the bag, she said to Zhu Yanling, "Mom, I want to eat too, and I want to eat too!"

Zhu Yanling dealt with her good son: "Okay! It's all Xiaozhi's, come, see what you want to eat, and get a few extra dollars."

Seeing them like this, Lin An couldn't sit still anymore. He snatched the bag back and said coldly to Zhu Yanling, "Oh! Why don't you have any money? You want to steal food from others. My son is hungry, so buy it yourself!"

After Lin An finished speaking, the room was silent for a while.

Lin An kept looking at Zhu Yanling, he didn't know what to do with her, so he could only hug Zhang Changzhi tightly, his hands kept rolling the hem of his clothes.

In order to break the embarrassing anger, Zhang Xiaohui took Lin An's hand with the bag and said, "Teacher, that... I'm hungry, let's do it now."

After speaking, he said to Zhu Yanling who was beside him: "Mother, just let Xiaozhi wait for a while to eat."

Now Zhu Yanling seemed to have found the steps, and responded naturally, "Well, Xiaohui, hurry up, your brother is hungry."

Seeing Zhu Yanling's shameless appearance, Lin An couldn't hold back his breath, and wanted to scold her. Zhang Xiaohui took Lin An's hand: "Teacher, I'm hungry, let's make food first."

Seeing this, Lin An had no choice but to give up.

At this time there were only three people left in the room. Zhu Yanling sneaked to the door and closed the door a little, because the kitchen next door could hear her talking.

"Mother, when is the best time to eat, I'm hungry."

Zhu Yanling knelt down and touched Zhang Changzhi's head and said, "Oh, don't make trouble, eldest son. Your sister will do it for you for a while." After speaking, Zhu Yanling glanced at the person on the bed and rolled her eyes around , suddenly changed his face, pulled Zhang Changzhi with a smile, walked forward and said, "Mother, look at your grandson, you haven't seen her before, look at her."

The person on the bed turned his back to Zhu Yanling and ignored her.

Zhang Changzhi looked at the grandmother on the opposite side, feeling a little unfamiliar, and tried to hide: "Mother, I don't know this person, she has a smell, it stinks!"

Zhu Yanling hit Zhang Changzhi backhandedly: "What do you know? This is your grandma, hurry up and call me grandma!"

Zhang Changzhi pouted and fiddled with the toy in his hand, and said, "I don't have a grandma, and this dead old lady is not my grandma, she has a smell on her body."

Zhu Yanling: "...you"

Zhang Changzhi had already expected that his mother would beat him, so he ran a long way beforehand and made a face at Zhu Yanling: "Hey, I can't beat him, I can't beat him!"

Zhu Yanling took her mother's hand, put her legs crossed on the bed and deliberately pretended to be pitiful, and said, "Mother, my daughter is not filial, so I only came to see you now."

Seeing Zhu Yanling's hypocrisy, grandma withdrew her hand and said coldly, "Today, you are so, so enthusiastic, looking for an old lady who is dying for me, cough cough..."

"What?"

When Zhu Yanling heard what her mother said, something was wrong, and she said more enthusiastically: "Mother, what are you doing here? Are you sick? I came to see you and brought your grandson."

The person on the bed ignored him.

Zhu Yanling took another step forward and said, "Mom, where is the bracelet on your hand? Why didn't you come here? This is our family heirloom, and it will be passed on to our Xiaozhi's daughter-in-law in the future. Give it to me quickly!"

Grandma looked at her and said excitedly, "No, but Xiaohui.

As soon as Zhu Yanling heard it, she became angry: "Mother, that girl will not take care of you in the future. She is a girl, and we Xiaozhi are different. Boys will have children in the future and will take care of you for the rest of their lives."

Zhang Xiaohui in the kitchen heard the conversation in the room, and was a little absent-minded with a spoon in her hand.

"Huihui, what are you doing? The dishes are all overcooked. Lin An pointed to the dishes in the pot and reminded.

Zhang Xiaohui reacted at this moment: "Oh, I'll get the vegetables out right now."

Zhang Xiaohui saw that the dish was indeed uneatable, she continued to be stunned, and her mother's words sounded in her heart again.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaohui was worried, Lin An pushed her shoulder again: "Hey, what's wrong with Huihui, what are you thinking?"

Zhang Xiaohui came back to her senses and said: "Oh, no, I didn't think about anything, teacher, let's eat quickly." After speaking, Zhang Xiaohui directly picked up the dish and walked to the room.

Reluctantly, the dish in her hand was too hot, and she couldn't hold on. At this moment, Zhang Xiaohui's hand was unsteady, and suddenly bumped into Zhang Changzhi, who was coming towards him. The dish slid down his body and burned him.

"Ah, it's so hot!" Zhang Changzhi began to cry loudly.

Zhu Yanling who was in the room hurried out when she heard the crying, looked at Zhang Changzhi, cried and hugged him again and asked, "Eldest son, what's the matter? Let mother take a look."

Zhang Changzhi pointed at Zhang Xiaohui with red eyes and said, "Mother, my sister scalded me, my hands hurt so much."

Zhang Xiaohui shook her head and said, "Mom, I didn't do it on purpose."

Zhu Yanling glanced at Zhang Xiaohui, sighed and said, "Hey! Son, let's go home, don't stay here anymore, let's go, go home with mother."

Zhang Xiaohui looked at her mother the same way as this time, it was a disappointed look, did she make her unhappy?

"Mother, let's go after dinner." Zhang Xiaohui pulled them and said.

Zhu Yanling said with a straight face, "Xiaohui, eat by yourself, mother will come back in two days."

"Mother..." Zhang Xiaohui looked at Zhu Yanling's retreating back, not knowing what to do, she really didn't mean it just now.

Lin An came out at this time, looked at Zhang Xiaohui in a daze, and asked, "What is Huihui looking at? Why is she so engrossed?"

Zhang Xiaohui seemed to have something on her mind, and said, "Teacher, I didn't see anything, let's go eat, how is my grandma?"

Seeing that Zhang Xiaohui still looked worried, Lin An supported her by the shoulder and said, "Huihui, where is your grandma, she is sleeping, let's go to eat first, don't stand here tired and cold!"

oh. "Responding, Zhang Xiaohui turned her head and looked behind her again. She reasoned that her mother would come back, but... she still didn't come back. It seems that her mother was really angry just now.
