Me, am I old?
The young boy's shapely and slender fingers pointed at himself tremblingly. He couldn't believe his ears. He felt aggrieved. He was obviously still a child, so why did he become old?
However, he glanced at Xiao Qu Ning, whose cheeks were white and moist, and then reached out to touch his rough face that was used to the wind and sand, and suddenly he was speechless.
It seems... a little old...
"Good baby, good baby!" The voice seemed to arrive in an instant. Qu Zhongdong rushed out of the kitchen with a kitchen knife and his legs were very agile. He saw Xiao Qu Ning and Yaya from the east neighbor standing outside the door. , Lao Gao's heart was finally put back into his stomach.
But the matter was not over yet. He clenched the handle of the kitchen knife tightly, raised his eyebrows, his eyes widened, his teeth chattered, and his tone was very fierce, "Where is the flower girl? Where is the grandson?" Woolen cloth?!"
When Qu Zhongdong's bright eyes glanced at the young boy, he involuntarily took half a step back, shaking his hand like a rattle, and hurriedly explained, "Fourth Grandpa, it's not me, I'm innocent..."
Scared, scared!
He regrets now that he was so disobedient and insisted on leaving the large army behind and sneaking over alone. Now, things are going to be a big deal!
"That's him!" Yaya completely regarded the young boy as a liar. How could a little girl with a strong sense of justice allow the young boy to lie to her in front of her? She immediately jumped out to identify him.
"You kid, you look young, but you have a dark heart!" Qu Zhongdong approached the young boy step by step.
"Grandpa Fourth, I, I, I -" I don't know whether he was anxious or frightened. The young boy started to stutter when he spoke. He wanted to reveal his identity quickly, but he couldn't. Zhongdong didn't give him a chance.
"Call me grandpa? I'm telling you, it's useless. Even calling me ancestor is useless!" Qu Zhongdong didn't want to take this trick. He wanted to abduct his darling, but it didn't work even if the King of Heaven came to intercede, so he called me grandpa twice. I just want to wipe this matter away, how is it possible?
Wait, something seems to be wrong... Yes, even if you ask for mercy, just call me grandpa or great-great-grandpa. Why does it have to be the fourth great-great-grandpa? Thinking like this, Qu Zhongdong calmed down a little. He looked at the young boy seriously, and the more he looked at him, the more familiar he became.
Just when Qu Zhongdong was muttering in his heart, the young boy finally revealed his identity, "You are my fourth great-grandfather. My great-great-grandfather is your eldest brother. His name is Qu Zhongchun, my grandfather's name is Qu Zhaowu, and my father's name is Qu Zhaowu." …”
This was it. When Qu Zhongdong got excited, he wanted to slap his thigh, but luckily he remembered in time that he was still holding a kitchen knife in his hand and stopped quickly, otherwise he was afraid he would be finished. He remembered now that there was a photo of this baby at home, but he was still young at that time and his appearance had not grown.
"Are you Luo Quan?" Qu Zhongdong was a little unsure. His eldest brother's family has been passed down by a single line for two generations. When his great-grandchildren were born, they suddenly got twins. The eldest brother was named Nanting and the second child was named Luo Quan. They were both from the north. Xinjiang place name. He still remembered that in those photos, Nan Ting and Luo Quan's appearance was roughly 40-50% similar. It was not difficult to tell them apart. However, those were photos taken four years ago. Now that he saw them in real life, he couldn't be too sure. Sure.
"Yes, Fourth Grandpa..." The circles under the eyes of the young boy Qu Luoquan suddenly turned red, and his big and bright eyes suddenly became wet, and he almost shed tears. It's not easy, it's not easy for him!
"Grandpa, he is really my nephew!" Little Qu Ning raised her little head and looked at Qu Luoquan curiously. Her black and white eyes were clean and clear, her chubby little face was pink and soft, and her little mouth was slightly open, revealing The two little white teeth look so cute.
"Yes, he is your second nephew. He also has an eldest brother named Nanting. Do you remember? They are twins. They seemed to be born five minutes apart." It's hard for Qu Zhongdong to still remember this.
"Second nephew, hello!" Xiao Qu Ning raised her hand and held Qu Luoquan's hand, shaking it gently, her smile was so sweet that it was intoxicating. At this moment, in Qu Ning's mind, the three words Qu Luoquan were no longer just a thin name, but had a concrete image.
"Hello, dear Aunt Bao!" Qu Luoquan felt his heart almost melting. He held Qu Ning's little hand back and didn't let go. Now he especially understands that the little girl next to him and the Fourth Grandpa should be so wary of strangers. Aunt Guabao is so cute, what if she is kidnapped!
"No, if you want to call me Aunt Ning, you can call me little aunt." Xiao Qu Ning shook her head, and Aunt Guobao sounded soft and weak, not good.
"But I think it sounds better to call her Auntie Guobao!" Qu Luoquan found Qu Ning's serious face pretending to be an adult very cute, so he deliberately teased her and teased her to say a few more words.
"I am an elder, you have to listen to me!" Qu Ning did not see his 'sinister' thoughts, and educated him seriously with the air of an elder.
What else could Qu Luoquan say? Of course he promised her!
"Why are you alone? Where are your great-grandfather and the others?" Qu Zhongdong stretched out his big hand and rubbed the top of Qu Luoquan's head vigorously, venting his anger on the good boy, and asked at the same time.
"They are behind, I run fast -" Qu Luoquan said: "Grandpa has told me many times that when you enter the village and walk south along the road, the house opposite the big locust tree is... I was afraid that I might have asked the wrong person."
"You kid, you are quite courageous..." Qu Zhongdong rubbed his hair again, but did not throw cold water on him at this time. He thought that there would be more time in the future, and he would find an opportunity to talk about this. Security Question. He said to Qu Luoquan and Xiao Qu Ning: "You two, wait here for a while. I'll go tell the old lady and quickly prepare the food, and then we'll go pick them up."
In fact, they didn't go very far when they saw a black red-flag car driving over. This was a rarity. It was rare even in the county, let alone Shuangqu Commune. Qu Zhongdong's heart suddenly aroused, his heart beating faster and faster, and the sound became louder and louder.
His guess was correct, it was indeed his eldest brother and his family sitting in the car. The people in the car must have seen them standing on the side of the road, so they stopped. Soon, the car door opened, and Qu Zhongchun, who was already full of white hair, came out on crutches. Immediately afterwards, several more people got out of the car. The young boy, who was about the same size as Qu Luoquan, moved swiftly and rushed to Qu Zhongchun's side, acting as another crutch for him. Qu Zhongchun's daughter-in-law, Lin Meiru, couldn't straighten her waist a little, and was being supported by her daughter-in-law.
"Brother, sister-in-law, I hope you are back!" Qu Zhongdong burst into tears. He almost jogged forward, holding his big rough hands with another pair of skinny hands showing age spots.
"Hey, Fourth Brother, why don't you call me when you come to pick up the elder brother!" The two brothers were excited, and Qu Zhongqiu also trotted over, swinging on a cane, which was really scary.
Qu Zhongchun's only son Zhaowu rushed forward and supported his third uncle.
Qu Zhongqiu looked around at Qu Zhaowu happily, and punched his chest with his fist, saying, "You have retired from the army after all. Look at your body. You are stronger than those in their forties."
In total, Qu Zhaowu is over sixty this year. Even though he is a nephew, in terms of age, he is not much younger than Qu Zhongdong.
"Let's go to our house. Let's go home and talk." Of course it is a happy event for the three brothers to reunite, but standing here talking is not fun. We have to go home and sit on the kang, which is a lot of chatter. .
"This is a good baby, right..." Qu Zhongchun's eyes lit up when he saw Xiao Qu Ning. He didn't say this just waiting for his fourth brother's answer. He could have guessed it. He waved to Xiao Qu Ning, "Come on, dear baby, come to Grandpa."
Qu Ning was of course willing to go. She had heard from her grandfather many times that he was a soldier and fought in the war. In her heart, he was a great hero who stood upright. But when she moved, Qu Luoquan, who had been holding her little hand, also moved with her.
She stood obediently in front of Qu Zhongchun and called people one by one: "Grandpa, grandma, uncle, aunt, um, nephew..."
I don't know which nerve in Qu Luoquan was touched. He laughed out loud and almost shed tears.
