"Your grandma is dead!" Ming He said.
Danzi took small steps.
Minghe rushed to Danzi, took Danzi's little arm and said, "Your grandma died just now. Come on, let's go home."
The egg doesn't move.
Minghe complained to Xiao Yu: "Uncle, he won't go home."
Xiao Yu walked over and said warmly: "Danzi, let's go home."
Danzi drooped his little head and didn't make any sound, but his tears kept falling.
This crying was so heartbreaking. Xiao Yu knelt down, touched Danzi’s dirty little face, and asked, “Danzi, why are you crying?”
Danzi raised his little face, with tears in his eyes, like a little dog that no one cares about on the roadside, and said: "Brother, my grandma is dead."
Xiao Yu nodded: "Yes." Grandma is already dead.
Danzi added: "I will never see grandma again."
It turns out that this child still knows the meaning of "death". Xiao Yu said with heartache: "You can see it."
Danzi’s little face was stunned.
"Can we see it?" Minghe asked curiously.
Xiao Yu was raised by his grandparents in his previous life. When his grandfather passed away, he was still young and did not know the concepts of "heaven" and "Elysium", but his grandmother told him that his grandfather went to a beautiful new world where there was no disease, no disputes, no Trouble, the sun is shining brightly, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and there is laughter and laughter everywhere.
When they grow old, they will meet their grandfather in that world.
But as he got older, he knew that this statement was made up by his grandma, but it did not prevent him from getting great comfort from it. Later, he was able to accept his grandma's death calmly, live a positive and optimistic life, and was not afraid of the passage of time. , while cherishing the present moment, I also look forward to meeting them in that world.
Even though he died suddenly and traveled here, he still wanted to believe that when he really grew old, he would meet the people he cared about in a beautiful new world, so he told his two children about this beautiful new world.
Minghe said in surprise: "Wow, what a great place."
Danzi blinked twice, blinked away two large teardrops, and asked, "Brother, is my grandma right there?"
Xiao Yu nodded: "Yes."
Danzi asked again: "Then when I get old, will I go there too?"
Xiao Yuying: "That's right."
Danzi confirmed again and again: "Then, then, I can meet grandma there."
Xiao Yu said: "Yes, you can see grandma then."
Danzi then said: "Brother, I want to grow old all of a sudden."
Minghe followed: "Uncle, I also want to grow old, and then go to that world so that I can see my parents." It turns out that Minghe has always been thinking about his parents.
Xiao Yu's heart was filled with excitement. He stretched out his hand to touch the little faces of the two children and said, "There is no need to worry about growing old. From this moment on, we should be positive people who love ourselves, love others, and we will grow old soon." .”
Danzi and Minghe nodded together.
"Minghe and Danzi are awesome!" Xiao Yu turned to Danzi and said warmly: "So don't be sad or worried about Danzi. Grandma lived a good life in that world. We, in this world, live well and love ourselves. Love others, be positive, and strive to become a great person. When grandma sees her in the future——"
Danzi Qianbai: "Grandma would say, 'Danzi is the most disgusting person in the world,' and she would laugh." When he said other words, he was a little unclear.
"That's right!" Xiao Yu agreed with Danzi's words.
Danzi's sadness, loneliness, and missing disappeared unconsciously.
"Then let's stop crying and go home, okay?" Xiao Yu asked.
"Okay." Danzi finally agreed.
"Let's go." Xiao Yu wanted to take the bowl from Danzi's hand.
Danzi guarded her tightly and said, "But -"
Xiao Yu asked warmly: "What's wrong?"
Danzi lowered his head and looked at the vegetable and egg noodles in his arms. They looked delicious, and said, "But, I still want to give the noodles to grandma."
So persistent.
Xiao Yu couldn't bear to offend his children's filial piety anymore, so he took his two children to the foot of the mountain, dug a hole in front of Grandma Hua's grave, and poured a bowl of green vegetables and egg noodles into it, which was regarded as a memorial to Grandma Hua. This finally comforted Danzi.
The three of them returned to the small courtyard together and ate the remaining two bowls of noodles. However, none of them were full, so Xiao Yu untied a bamboo basket from the beam and took out the small noodles he had made. People finally eat.
"Okay, let's start boiling hot water." Xiao Yu poured a bucket of water into the cauldron.
Minghe asked in confusion: "Uncle, why are you heating so much hot water?"
"Give Danzi a bath." Xiao Yu said.
Minghe looked at Danzi with disheveled hair: "Danzi, you'll be clean soon."
Danzi nodded obediently.
After the water was boiled, Xiao Yu picked up Danzi, washed and dried Danzi's hair in the small yard, and then brought a bucket of hot water to the back room.
Minghe and Danzi followed Xiao Yu like followers.
"Minghe, Danzi has no clothes for the time being. Let's wear yours first, okay?" Since he had some savings in his hand, Xiao Yu bought three sets of dark clothes, two sets of thin cotton clothes, and two sets of thick cotton clothes for Minghe, just enough to even out the clothes. One set for Danzi, and I will buy some fabric for Danzi to make tomorrow.
Minghe readily agreed. Anyway, he felt that he was much older now.
"Thank you, little brother, thank you, big brother." Danzi said very politely.
Only then did Xiao Yu have the intention to notice the problem of addressing Danzi, and he said: "You can't call me brother or his brother."
Danzi glanced at Minghe, and consciously followed Minghe's lead, calling to Xiao Yu in a low voice: "Little uncle."
When Minghe heard this, he panicked instantly.
Xiao Yu didn't hear Danzi's words clearly and said, "What? Shout again."
Danzi called again: "Little uncle."
Before Xiao Yu could respond, Minghe shouted loudly: "You can't call me uncle!"
Danzi was so frightened that he shivered.
Minghe angrily yelled at Danzi again: "You can't call me uncle!"
Danzi took two steps back in fright, his little body hit the earth wall, and stared blankly at Minghe.
Xiao Yu quickly stopped him: "Minghe, why are you so cruel to your brother?"
Xiao Yu's voice was not loud, but Minghe felt that his uncle loved Danzi and blamed himself. He looked at his uncle unhappily and cried "Wow" in aggrieved tone.
He has always been sensible and generous, and has never cried like this. Xiao Yu was keenly aware of his insecurity, and quickly squatted down, hugged his small body, and called softly: "Minghe, Minghe."
Minghe's crying gradually became quieter.
Xiao Yu asked: "Did you think that your uncle didn't like you just now?"
Minghe nodded: "Yes."
"Silly boy, my uncle has told you many times that he will always like you. Have you forgotten?" Xiao Yu gently wiped Minghe's tears.
"But he called you uncle." Minghe pointed at the balls with his little finger, still angrily.
Xiao Yu nodded.
"My uncle is going to agree." Minghe's tears increased again.
Xiao Yu is considered an emotionally stable person. He calmly wiped his tears from Minghe and said gently: "Yes, I have to agree, because he is the biological brother that I found for you." He emphasized, "Dear me. "Brother" three words.
Minghe then focused on these three words and asked: "Brother?"
Xiao Yu said: "Yes, hasn't he always called you little brother?"
Minghe nodded: "Yes."
"So, he is your biological brother, and you are his biological brother."
Minghe heard this and glanced at Danzi at the wall. The child had just been frightened and his eyes were timid.
Xiao Yu continued: "From now on, my uncle will like you and my brother will like you. In this world, you can get two 'likes'. You have earned it, right?"
it seems to be like this.
Minghe blinked twice and asked, "Does he like me?"
Xiao Yu looked at Danzi aside and asked, "Danzi, do you like my little brother?"
Although the little brother's head was gray and he was fierce just now, the little brother helped him a lot like the big brother and was a warm person. Danzi nodded: "I like it!"
Xiao Yu smiled and said: "Look, you have two 'likes'."
Minghe wiped the tears from his eyes and asked, "Did I make money?"
Seeing that Ming He's mood had eased, Xiao Yu nodded and continued: "Well, you have made money. From now on, if you like your younger brother, I will also like you, so your younger brother will have two 'likes'; you and your younger brother will like your younger uncle together, and your younger brother will like you too." My uncle also has two 'likes'."
Minghe thought for a while and came to the conclusion: "We all have two 'likes'!"
Xiao Yu took advantage of the situation and asked, "Yes, that's really smart. So, we all made money. So, can Danzi call me uncle?"
Minghe was originally a generous little man, but after a moment, he accepted the egg and nodded: "Yes."
"Then you are so fierce and scared to death. What are you going to do?" Xiao Yu didn't want to interfere too much in the children's affairs, so he tried to let them do it themselves.
Minghe happens to be an independent child, he said: "I will apologize."
Xiao Yu nodded in agreement.
Minghe walked out of Xiao Yu's arms and came to Danzi.
Danzi took two steps back in fright.
Minghe's little fleshy hand grabbed Danzi's thin hand and said: "Danzi, don't be afraid. Just now, just now, it was my little brother who was wrong and hurt you. My little brother won't be cruel to you in the future. Please forgive me, okay?" good?"
Danzi was slightly startled.
Minghe asked again: "Can you forgive me, little brother?"
Unexpectedly, Danzi was also an energetic child. After judging whether Minghe was sincere or fake, he immediately nodded: "Yes."
"Then you call me uncle, we will be brothers from now on!" Ming He said.
Danzi looked at Xiao Yu with questioning eyes.
"Shout." Xiao Yu said.
Danzi glanced at Minghe again, and then whispered: "Little uncle."
"Hey! We will be a family from now on." Xiao Yu said.
Minghe and Danzi nodded together. After such a fuss, both children couldn't hide their excitement on their faces.
It seemed that both of them were satisfied, and Xiao Yu felt relieved and said, "Let's give Danzi a bath first." He stood up and was about to pour the water from the bucket into the basin, only to realize that the water was already cold.
"What's wrong?" Minghe asked curiously when his uncle didn't move.
"The water is cold," Xiao Yu said.
"What should we do?" Minghe asked.
"We can only burn it again." Xiao Yu said.
So Xiao Yu heated up the water in the pot again and used soap to wash Danzi's little body twice. Finally, he washed Danzi cleanly from head to toe, and finally saw clearly what Danzi looked like.
Unlike the beautiful and bright Minghe, Danzi was like a delicate little doll, well-behaved and soft. He and Minghe kept praising Danzi for her beauty, until Danzi was so embarrassed that they stopped.
Then Xiao Yu gave Minghe a bath. He was tired and sweating, so he took a bath too. As soon as he got into bed, Minghe threw himself into his arms: "Little uncle, I'm so warm. I'll warm you up."
This child was obviously clingy, but Xiao Yu didn't expose him and stretched out his arms to hug him. From the corner of his eye, he saw Danzi looking over longingly. He lowered his head and whispered to Minghe: "Minghe, my brother's grandma just passed away. He is very sad. My uncle is also very sad." Give him a hug, okay?”
"Okay." Minghe agreed immediately.
"Then you sleep outside, and my uncle sleeps in the middle, holding one on each side."
"Yeah." Minghe turned directly over Xiao Yu.
As long as everything is broken into pieces and explained clearly to Minghe, the little guy can be reasonable at a young age.
He is worthy of being a prime minister.
Xiao Yu praised Minghe in his heart and reached out to take the egg out of the bed and into his arms.
He had just washed off two basins of dirty water from this little guy, and now he was feeling refreshed. He deliberately put his nose to the little guy and said, "It smells so good."
"Uncle, is this my younger brother Xiang?" Minghe asked upon seeing this.
"Yes." Xiao Yu said.
"I smell it, I smell it, I smell it too." Minghe lay on Xiao Yu's body and leaned against Danzi's body, his furry head thrust into Danzi's arms, like it was thrust into Danzi's itchy nest.
Danzi couldn't help but giggle.
Usually the more Minghe giggles, the more his uncle loves to tease. Now Minghe has also learned this trick and uses it flexibly on Danzi.
Danzi kept giggling and squirming like a caterpillar in Xiao Yu's arms.
Xiao Yu allowed the two children to play around, until Ming He, who had not taken a nap, felt sleepy and his eyelids were fighting, and then he said: "Go to sleep."
Minghe immediately closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Danzi also closed his eyes obediently, feeling happy because of the warmth around him, and said in his heart: "I really like my uncle, I really like my little brother."
"Danzi, can you sleep?" Xiao Yu asked aloud.
Danzi opened his eyes, looked at Xiao Yu with watery eyes and said, "Yes."
"Okay." When Xiao Yu saw this, he blew out the lamp and hugged a child. After a while, he heard Danzi's snorting.
He sighed in his heart, thinking back to Granny Hua's fainting, passing away, entrustment, and Danzi's pity today... Alas, the deceased is gone, and the living should live well.
Since he promised Granny Hua, he will definitely take good care of Danzi.
At this moment, he was also tired and had no time to think about anything else. His eyelids were heavy, and after a while he closed them and fell into sleep.
The next day it was still dark, so he got up and made steamed buns.
Maybe Minghe was too tired yesterday and showed no signs of waking up, so he stopped shouting, tucked the two little ones in, put on their clothes lightly, and then quietly left the thatched hut and came to the kitchen. Room.
Now that the weather is getting colder and colder, he is worried that the starter will not be efficient enough. Before going to bed, he deliberately left some sparks in the stove hole to transfer some heat to the dough. Now the dough in the pot is rising very well.
He was relieved and would continue to do so in the future.
He rolled up his sleeves, quickly washed, chopped, mixed the stuffing, and then started making buns.
When the buns were almost done, he heated up the two pots, placed the wrapped buns one by one on the bamboo grate, closed the pot lid, put firewood in the stove hole, then washed his hands and continued making.
One hundred and six steamed buns were made in two batches. He also cooked a simple version of spicy spicy soup, using shredded pork, kelp, tofu skin, vermicelli, peanuts, fungus and day lily, stir-fried, boiled, seasoned, and poured Add some starch water, and the thick and nutritious spicy soup is ready.
When he was about to call Minghe and Danzi to get up, the two children came over hand in hand.
"Little uncle, you've already made the buns, why didn't you call me?" Minghe asked.
"You were too tired, so I didn't call you." Xiao Yu said.
"You are tired too."
"...Then I'll call you tomorrow."
"Okay." Minghe was so easy to talk to.
"Come over for dinner." Xiao Yu then saw clearly that the clothes on the two children were askew, especially Danzi's shoes were worn backwards, with the left shoe on the right foot and the right shoe on the left foot, and asked: "You are all on your own. The clothes you’re wearing?”
"My brother wore it for me," Danzi said.
Minghe nodded proudly: "I wore it myself, and I also wore it."
"It's... well-dressed!" Xiao Yu praised her forcefully.
Minghe said to Danzi, "Look, brother is so powerful."
Danzi nodded like a fool: "Yeah."
"However, my uncle will tidy it up for you, so you will be more comfortable." Xiao Yu sat in front of the stove, pulled Minghe over, tidied Minghe's clothes, tied his belt, and then held Danzi on his lap, putting He put on his clothes and shoes again, and then said: "Wear brother's clothes first, and you can do it again later."
Danzi nodded: "Yeah."
"Are your clothes comfortable?" Xiao Yu asked.
The two children nodded together.
Ming He said: "Incomparably comfortable."
Danzi followed suit: "Invincible Shuhu!"
Xiao Yu smiled: "Let's eat first."
It was Minghe's first time to eat spicy soup, and he was pleasantly surprised: "Uncle, this is delicious."
"Drink more to warm yourself up." Xiao Yu looked at Danzi and said, "Drink more Danzi too."
Dan Zi has been having trouble eating, drinking and sleeping with Granny Hua. Now he can eat steamed buns and spicy spicy soup when he wakes up. It’s really great. He ate one steamed bun and one spicy spicy soup. .
Minghe also finished eating.
Xiao Yu put the two children and the bamboo basket on the cart and walked out of the small courtyard. The villagers saw an extra child on Xiao Yu's cart and asked about it.
"He is also my nephew." Xiao Yu said.
"From far away?" Everyone in the village knew that Xiao Yu had a brother and a sister. The brother drowned when he was ten years old. The sister, Minghe's mother, also died this year, so when Minghe called Uncle Xiao Yu, he added " The word "little" meant that they had not heard that Xiao Yu had other sisters, so they automatically thought that the beautiful little baby in front of them was Xiao Yu's distant cousin.
Xiao Yu didn't want others to know that Danzi was a disaster victim, so as to avoid bad gossip, so he didn't deny it and changed the subject with a smile.
After a while, the first child and the second child left the village.
Soon I arrived at the small pier and couldn't help but be stunned when I saw the surrounding scene.
