On the first day of living in the old house of the Chen family, Tang Jinyu
called Xia Ye. The child was lying by the window looking at the small lanterns
outside. At night, the small courtyard of the Chen family was even more
beautiful. The lanterns and small lanterns were all lit. It's like a holiday.
"There are so many lights outside. It's different from the lanterns for the
New Year. It's a very small one. It's so beautiful!" The child seriously told
Xia Ye what he saw before he sighed after saying it. "Unfortunately, brother
can't see it."
Xia Ye smiled on the phone and said, "Why did you still learn to sigh? Who did
you learn from."
"Hey, I learned from grandpa this afternoon. Brother, I learned like a lot.
I'll learn another one for you."
After studying for a while, the children began to talk about their feelings
every day: "Brother, I miss you."
"Ok."
"When will brother be back?"
"Are you outside?"
"Yeah, at grandma's house."
"stay How long?"
"After the holiday, did you send me a gift again, brother?"
"Well, be it, you are obedient, you will have a gift if you obey."
"Ok!"
Xia Ye was a bit busy, and the phone was hung up after only a few minutes, but
the child was still quite satisfied, especially when Chen Suling brought him a
small lantern to let him play, the child happily put it away , Raised his head
and said to his mother: "Mom, my brother didn't see it. I will take it back
and show it to him when he has summer vacation."
Chen Suling squeezed his face, nodded and said, "Well, I will listen to you."
There was still a banquet the next day, and many more people came than
yesterday. Grandma Chen asked Chen Suling to put on new clothes for the child
and asked her to hold Tang Jinyu’s hand behind her and beat her relatives one
by one. Say hello and recognize it.
The old lady was energetic, and she walked with wind, and Chen Suling was
exhausted from coming down all morning.
The old lady has to talk to the old sister, Chen Suling can't follow her,
"Mom, go by yourself, I will rest."
Grandma Chen laughed and said: "You young people, sitting in the office all
day long and not exercising. This is just a little bit more. You can't go
around in your own yard. Go ahead and let Xiaoyu go with me. There are tea and
snacks on the side, and I just made an appointment with your Aunt Cheng and
the others. I will sit down and have a chat."
Chen Suling agreed, bowed her head and exhorted the child a few words to let
him listen to her grandma.
Tang Jinyu and her grandmother (guanguan) were close, the old lady stretched
out her hand to hold him, and the child obediently followed.
Chen Suling stayed there for a while and rested. Chen Qiuguo came over to see
and smiled and said, "I thought you went there with your mom, why are you
sitting here alone?"
Chen Suling said, "I will be lazy, eldest sister, how come my mother has
invited so many people? I have never seen so many relatives when I got
married."
"Isn't that the people who were when you got married?" Chen Qiuguo sat down
next to her little sister, and even said several family names, Chen Suling
couldn't recognize it. Chen Qiuguo smiled again, "It's okay. You don't live
here in your hometown. It's normal if you don't recognize it. Many of them are
quite far away. I haven't had much contact in recent years."
Chen Suling poured water for the eldest sister, and said curiously: "Why are
you invited here?"
Chen Qiuguo glanced at her and nodded her forehead and whispered: "Don't you
know in your heart that Xiaoyu was ill at the time, although no one said to
her face to face, but many people gossiping behind her, my mother kept sighing
in her heart. You let her live for a few days and breathe out for you.
Chen Suling laughed and hugged her eldest sister on the shoulders, as close to
her as when she was not married, "My mother is really good, and my eldest
sister is good."
Chen Qiuguo smiled: "Your mouth, I know who Xiaoyu learned from. As soon as he
saw me yesterday, he ran over and hugged me and said, "Auntie is so pretty
today." That little mouth is sweet. I like it."
Chen Suling also thought that the children at home were sweet and smiled.
The particularly sweet Tang Jinyu child is now eating snacks with Grandma
Chen. The old man is sitting there talking to a few old sisters. After a few
chats, he starts to praise his little grandson. From winning the competition
to the school exam results, he also offers treasures. I showed everyone a
Certificate of Merit for Three Good Students.
"This certificate was issued by Xiaoyu for the final exam. The child kissed me
and sent it specially after taking it. Now, I will let someone frame it and
hang it there." Grandma Chen pointed her finger at the glass frame on the
wall. The winning certificate, showing off with the old sisters with a smile.
The people on the side laughed and boasted. One of them was an old lady
surnamed Cheng and Grandma Chen (Guanguan). She praised her sincerely. She
also asked Tang Jinyu to come over and take a closer look and said to him:
"It's great , I’m clever when I look at it. I will study hard in the future. I
will take a few more certificates to hang. I will wait to see you fill up your
grandma’s room!"
The one next to her also laughed, but her tone became a little sour, and half-
jokingly said: "Don't be tired of the child, one sheet is enough, (body shen)
body first."
The room was quiet for a moment, Grandma Chen slowly said while drinking tea:
"Not tired, Xiaoyu gets a certificate every year."
"I just said casually, don't you just see that there is only one..."
"Hey, I forgot to tell my old sister, the rest is in Xiaoyu's grandfather's
place, oh, it's Tang? `Ren Qian La Sang Ji Ju 憧赡惶彩钦# Yi Qiao Zhunyi look at
the shin The old deans of several colleges usually take doctoral students.
Most people don’t know him very much.” Grandma Chen said politely, “He cares
about Xiaoyu’s grades. He comes to accompany the child to study in person
during the winter and summer vacations. No, if you fail the exam, the school
will issue a certificate of merit, and you will send it to Qizhou. I will have
one here and keep it as a souvenir."
After speaking, the other party (gan gan) laughed twice, then nodded and said
yes.
Mrs. Cheng is a gentle person. After seeing it, she smiled and made a rounding
round: "Xiaoyu has been getting better in the past two years. When I saw the
video of his playing the piano last time, I felt that my hands were firm and
the playing was good. I Yeah, I’m just waiting to hear him play the piano
tomorrow, and I'll educate myself, ha ha."
The topic shifted to tomorrow's performance. Grandma Chen smiled again and
talked to them about the arrangements for the last day.
Tang Jinyu sat there and ate two peanut cakes, drank a cup of almonds (dew),
half full.
Grandma Chen sent away the guests and led him to see Peony in the yard. Tang
Jinyu was more at ease than before. He still likes spending time with his
family the most. When there are outsiders, he always feels like a show,
socializing is really too tired.
Grandma Chen took him by the hand and took him to the small pergola, and
pointed to him, "Xiaoyu, look, our'King of Kao' is beautiful, isn't it? In
previous years, it bloomed at the end of April, and it bloomed more this year.
After a crop, I think there must be something good at home. No, I won the
prize in the Piano Competition!"
The peony grows thick and has a small tree-like trunk (gan), which is half a
head taller than Tang Jinyu. It is a Kao specially bought by Mr. Chen a few
years ago. Now it is growing strong under the small pergola specially built
for it, the flower bones are as big as a child's palm, and the bright white
blossoms are like white and tender little buns, only with a touch of red at
the top, like snow and morning glow, delicate and beautiful. people. The ones
that have been opened are even more beautiful, the big flowers bloom
enthusiastically, and even the green (color) leaves are stretched out with a
different style.
The sunlight came through, and the dots of light fell on it, really not
falling from the name of the flower king.
The Chen family had been in business for many years and was a little
superstitious about these things. Grandma Chen took him to see the peony
flowers and led him upstairs to worship the Bodhisattva.
The top floor of the villa is a separate quiet room, with a simple incense
stand and a bodhisattva.
When Tang Jinyu came before, their whole family would be brought by Grandma
Chen to worship the Bodhisattva. Ask the Bodhisattva to bless them. Most
people do not receive such treatment. They can't even touch the door of the
quiet room. Only the closest ones can enter this. small gate.
Grandma Chen took the child to a few incense sticks together, and chanted a
few sentences. Tang Jinyu also studied seriously and read the names of her
family in her heart. There are five people in the family. In addition to
parents, There were Teacher Xia and his brother Xia Ye, but none of the
children left.
After Grandma Chen took him out, she said as she went down the stairs,
"Xiaoyu, it's not easy for your parents to treat them well in the future, you
know?"
Tang Jinyu nodded and walked forward holding her hand, "Grandma, I will treat
you well in the future."
Grandma Chen comforted her heart, smiled and nodded, "Then I'll wait to enjoy
the blessing of our dear treasures, and when you grow up, I will get a few
more prizes and put a trophy for my grandma's house."
"Ok!"
Grandma Chen didn't hold him back, and asked him to go to the yard outside to
look for the little girls in Huayan, and he sent it to the door to say: "Don't
run too far, let your big sister lead you, and play at our own house, you
know? ?"
"Hey!"
Tang Jinyu followed out. Hua Yan found a few more children and led them to
play outside. The small area here is owned by the Chen family. There are too
many places to play.
Hua Yan and Chen Deyun live here all year round and they are very familiar
with it, but they didn't lead the run away, so they picked a small and free
yard with a few children to play with. Tang Jinyu thought that he was going to
play with rubber bands this time as before. They were all ready to be stakes,
but Hua Yan and the others took out an electronic dictionary from their
pockets. The children in the same group saw it and said immediately: "Plus Me,
add me! Let’s play "Survival Island", I still have the last level to pass!"
Hua Yandao: "De Yun and I have only the last level left. How much money do you
have? I have to check it out before adding people."
"I have 300,000!"
"Add me, I am more than him, I have 350,000!"
...
Tang Jinyu was stunned. These people reported the amount of money. He followed
his mental calculations and all added up to only a few million. How did he
have the courage to clear the game?
The "Little Champion" electronic dictionary is the hottest electronic product
this year. Most elementary and middle school students buy one at home. It can
not only look up the dictionary, but also some fun games, which can be played
online with the same brand dictionary. This makes the children who spend most
of their time at school happy. When class is over, they get together in groups
and play games for a few minutes.
The most popular among them is "Survival on the Island", which is famous for
its high popularity and difficulty in customs clearance.
Hua Yan and Chen Deyun are playing this game. They have the highest value of
money, but they add up to only one or two million. The two little girls looked
embarrassed. Just when Hua Yan turned his head to see Tang Jinyu, she
struggled a lot, and handed him the electronic dictionary in her hand, saying:
"Xiaoyu, you haven't played with it yet. Let me play with you. I will sit and
teach. You, but it’s a bit difficult. I’ve been playing for three or four days
now. You have to be careful in a while and don’t break it for your sister."
Tang Jinyu sat on the steps with them, holding the electronic dictionary in
his hands, a little hesitant.
Hua Yan thought that he was too serious just now to scare the child, patted
him on the shoulder, and said generously: "It's okay if the game is broken, I
can start again, come, I will teach you!"
Tang Jinyu said, "Sister, I can play this."
Hua Yan said in surprise: "Do you have this electronic dictionary too? Take it
online together."
Tang Jinyu shook her head, "I didn't bring it, but I can help you pass the
level."
After he finished saying this, the children on the side were half-believing.
Tang Jinyu saved her 1.7 million dollars based on Hua Yan's archive.
Hua Yan stared at the screen closely, his eyes lit up, "Xiaoyu go on, I should
be reselling seafood just now, the price of that crab has changed again!"
Tang Jinyu was surrounded by a group of children, her face pressed on the
screen, and she said hard, "Sister, please get out of the way, I can't see
it."
The children around just let go, but they all tried their best to look at it.
They also took out their electronic dictionary and opened it while trying to
resell the items like he did just now.
Tang Jinyu explained to them while she was doing (fuck cao), Hua Yan
understood quickly, but she didn't understand everything. She only felt that
she knew every word the little cousin said, but together it became a strange
formula concept. She was stunned again, blinking her eyes and looking
confused.
Others are not as good as Hua Yan, they are all one or two years older than
Tang Jinyu, but they don’t understand what Tang Jinyu said. They just feel
that the child in front of them made a lot of money while speaking calmly, and
the sound of gold coins arrived. It's so exciting that Tang Jinyu in front of
them looks like the little ** of wealth in their eyes, with gold edges
embedded in them, and she looks very smart!
Tang Jinyu took them through the customs together, and the group of children
were very excited.
Hua Yan is the most proud, and she straightened her chest (xiong) and said,
"Is my brother very good?"
The other children all liked them, trying to get Tang Jinyu to take them to
play another game. They just learned to resell the supplies, and when they
first started, it was the most addictive time.
After playing for a while, someone ran out to buy iced soda and gave Tang
Jinyu a can, "Here you are!"
Tang Jinyu shook her head, but her eyes still fell on the soda can, "I have to
ask my mother to drink it later."
Hua Yan felt sorry for him, handed him a bit of his own, and said, "You have a
bite, I will keep it for you."
Chen Deyun hesitated, but did not stop for the first time.
Tang Jinyu was moved, but after looking around, he asked, "Is there any ice
coke?"
The other party thought about it and said, "Should have it, I bought it at the
gate of the community, go out through the small door in your grandma's
backyard, and you will be there in one minute. There is a cold drink stand!"
Tang Jinyu rubbed her hands, "Then I'll take a sip."
A group of children ran to the small gate together. They didn't have to cross
the road. They saw the cold drink stand under the tree over there, next to a
newsstand, and people passing by to buy drinks.
Tang Jinyu asked the boss for a paper cup, and asked him to pour it out and
add some ice cubes. Hearing the sound of the ice cube falling in like a
beautiful note, Dian Dian'er went over to pay.
The boss was very puzzled by the small mobile phone he handed over. He looked
at the beautiful little boy opposite, and said in a daze, "Little classmate,
what do you buy me a coke (gan gan)?"
Tang Jinyu didn't react either, she still held up: "Swipe mine, I'll treat
you."
Boss: "What do you brush?"
Tang Jinyu blinked, and the words in her mind that had just been said
disappeared for an instant. She took her phone back and scratched her head.
She felt normal just now, and now she is starting to feel confused: "It seems
that the phone is not right..."
The boss was happy, "It's definitely not right to use a mobile phone. Where
can I pay with a mobile phone!"
"No, uh, I don't remember."
Hua Yan and Chen Deyun are older children, and they have heard about their
little cousins. Many relatives outside think that Tang Jinyu is a little fool
and has intellectual problems, but they have always been sisters to prevent
others from saying this. Seeing that his brother did something silly, Hua Yan
subconsciously stopped in front and protected him to speak, "My brother is
joking with everyone, I will pay, boss, take me!"
Hua Yan took a fifty yuan to the boss, and he was rich.
Chen Deyun behind her was still defending her little cousin, and said hard:
"You are not allowed to laugh at him. Just now Xiaoyu took everyone to pass
the customs together. He is (shen) in poor health. This is called Asperger.
It's a disease of genius, which is only a disease of particularly intelligent
and talented people!"
Hua Yan received the change, and while sharing drinks for everyone, he said,
"Yes, you all remembered, my brother is a ‘genius disease’!"
Tang Jinyu: "???"
No, he is not sick.
Hua Yan brought a glass of Coke over, Tang Jinyu took it happily. He just took
a sip in his mouth and was picked up from behind before he could swallow it.
He was so scared that he raised his arms and held the cup. The ice-cola, first
hold your hand!
The man behind was very tall. After he picked it up, he hugged the child and
whispered: "Yes, I haven't sprayed a drop of it after all."
Tang Jinyu blinked when she heard the sound, and immediately turned her head
back in surprise, "Brother!"
Xia Ye held him in one hand and took the Coke with the other. He shook his
eyebrows when he heard the sound of ice cubes inside. The child was guilty,
smiled at him, and called his brother again.
Xia Yedao: "I sneak out to drink this?"
Tang Jinyu shook her head repeatedly, pointing to the other children aside and
saying, "No, brother, I came with everyone."
"Come on for a cold drink?"
"No, I just participate in group activities, hehe."
"Then what's in my hand?"
"Oh, what, come here..."
Xia Ye snapped his forehead with his fingers, Tang Jinyu was not at all
annoyed, still smiling, holding his hands and saying, "Brother, why are you
here? I miss you so much!"
Xia Ye said: "I'll do something, stop by and see you."
Tang Jinyu was too happy, and Xia Ye was happier when he drank his ice coke,
happier than drinking it himself.
Xia Ye took him back with the other children, and kept helping him with that
glass of ice cola on the way. Tang Jinyu had already switched her attention to
Xia Ye. He proudly introduced him along the way. Now it’s not just Hua Yan and
the others, come here. The relatives and children who were playing knew that
Tang Jinyu had an older brother, and the two brothers had a very good
relationship.
Xia Ye suddenly came, and Tang Jinyu didn't even bother to play electronic
dictionaries with other children. She stuck to her brother and wanted to take
him to see the little lantern.
Xia Ye said: "I'll go and say hello to my aunt first."
Tang Jinyu took him by the hand and happily led the way. He had been in
grandma's house for a long time and knew the way.
Chen Suling was also surprised when she saw Xia Ye, and she smiled and said,
"Why did Xiao Ye come?"
Xia Yedao: "School is off, I called my dad and he said that Xiaoyu is here,
and I just came over to do something with my colleagues in the company..." He
was talking, and the child started to put his lap again. Climbing, sitting in
his exclusive position, took a small pomegranate, and began to pick the
pomegranate skin.
Xia Ye asked him: "Want to eat? I'll peel it for you."
Tang Jinyu shook her head and didn't give it to him, "Brother, you are busy
with you, I will peel the pomegranate for you!"
There are a total of two small pomegranates. Tang Jinyu peeled a small bowl of
pomegranate seeds, left the broken pomegranate seeds for himself, and took the
intact pomegranate into two portions, one for his mother and one for Xia Ye.
Chen Suling took two and ate two, and said with a smile: "Xiao Ye, hurry up
and eat it. I was going to take it back and keep it for you. Fortunately, you
are here. Otherwise, it will become a pomegranate specimen during the summer
vacation."
Xia Ye chuckled and fed Tang Jinyu two spoons with a small spoon, and ate the
rest by herself.
