"What does it mean to be in love?"
Jiang Jiu looked confused.
"It's just that you met someone you like."
The little boy used to think that when he grows up and marries a wife, he will be like his father and marry a girl who is as beautiful as his mother.
But he had never met anyone as beautiful as his mother before.
So I don’t know what it feels like.
Now he knows.
Jiang Jiu: "Ah? Second brother, are you getting married?"
The little boy almost choked on his own saliva, so he quickly covered his mouth and whispered: "Don't talk nonsense, it's still early."
"Why is it so early? I've heard from others that the person we're talking to is getting married."
Because someone had previously approached his father about finding a stepmother to take care of him.
His father didn't want to.
Because he doesn't like it.
If the second brother likes it, wouldn't he want to get married?
Jiang Ji thought about it in his head for a few times and then started to feel sad.
If the second brother gets married, won't there be no one to play with?
So he said slightly sadly: "Second brother, don't forget me when you get married."
Although Zhou Zehan felt weird, he couldn't explain it. Hearing this, he nodded blankly: "I will never forget you."
On the other side, on the bus, Xie Xian, who was sitting next to Yaoyao, sneezed twice in a row.
The teacher asked with concern: "Are you okay, Xiaoxian? The temperature here is colder than in the city. Be careful not to catch a cold."
After all, if you get sick, it will affect your performance on the field.
Xie Xian nodded and said nothing.
It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when the car arrived at the mountain city.
It was still raining in the mountain city, and the temperature was a bit damp and cold.
Si Nian took out Yaoyao's coat from his bag and put it on the little girl who was half asleep.
Xie Xian on the side looked at the gray weather outside, frowning and not knowing what he was thinking.
Looks worried.
The teacher said worriedly: "Why is it raining? It's really unlucky. Xiaoxian, you didn't bring any clothes with you? What can you do?"
Si Nian looked at his short sleeves.
She took out another coat from the bag and handed it over: "Teacher, put it on for him. It's cold outside, so don't catch a cold."
Although it belongs to a girl, there is not much age difference between the two of them, and they should not be too young.
The teacher thanked you: "Thank you so much, Mother Si. If it weren't for you, I don't know what I would have done."
She quickly put it on for Xie Xian.
A faint fragrance poured into his nose. Xie Xian moved his nose, looked up and saw Si Nian leading Yaoyao out of the car.
He lowered his eyes, pursed his lips, and touched his clothes with his little hands.
The teacher took them to check in. Xie Xian didn't have any family members, so the teacher took him to live in one room, and Si Nian and his daughter lived in the same room.
Hotels in this era are not bad, but they are not good either. They smell like dust.
Si Nian took out disposable sheets and made the bed before letting his daughter go to bed.
Since she was only staying for one night, she made do with it, and she wasn't a picky person.
I just told my daughter to teach her that when a girl goes out in the future, she should bring her own personal belongings and not use these hotel toiletries. They are very dirty and have been used by many strangers.
Yaoyao has lived with her since she was a child and knows how to be clean, so she immediately nodded to express her understanding.
During dinner in the evening, the teacher brought Xie Xian over to discuss tomorrow's competition with them. Because the questions were given on the spot, no one knew what to draw tomorrow.
Just let the two children not be nervous and play normally as usual.
It doesn't matter if you don't get the prize.
The key is participation.
The two children are not nervous at all. Although Yaoyao herself has never competed, her brother competes in many competitions every year, and her second brother, although his grades are not good, is well-developed in sports and often participates in various sports competitions.
Because they are in the same school, she can often go to the scene to cheer him up.
Seeing her second brother's high spirits when he got the medal, Yaoyao thought that the competition was a very interesting thing.
So not only was she not nervous, but she was looking forward to it.
As for Xie Xian, he doesn't care even more. This is not the first time he has participated in the competition, and he has been first this time.
This kind of competition has long ceased to be challenging for him.
If the teacher hadn't said that Yaoyao would also participate in the competition, he wouldn't have come without telling his mother.
The next day, the game was held as scheduled.
Si Nian took his daughter to line up to enter the scene.
They were not allowed to enter the arena and had to wait outside.
After watching her daughter enter, she found a place to sit down.
The teacher on the side also came over and sighed.
Si Nian said: "Although my Yaoyao has loved to learn painting since she was a child, she has always used it casually and her foundation is not good. Teacher, how could you think of letting Yaoyao participate in the competition?"
The teacher was stunned for a moment. Indeed, Yaoyao had just joined their class not long ago. In such a competition, she logically said that she should choose a more stable child.
She was a little embarrassed, thinking that Mother Si was really too perceptive.
Somewhat embarrassed.
Sure enough, Si Nian looked at her and asked, "Is it because of that child?"
The teacher said apologetically: "Sorry, Mother Si, I didn't mean to take advantage of Yaoyao. I did consider Yaoyao because her paintings amazed me. I think she is a very talented child and she is totally qualified." I am qualified to participate in such a competition. But you are right, the child’s basic skills are not perfect, which is why I am struggling.”
"Originally, I thought about letting Xiaoxian come to participate, but he didn't want to. I accidentally mentioned Yaoyao, and he asked me if Yaoyao wanted to participate. I said yes, and he immediately agreed."
"I thought that it should be the reason why everyone was unwilling to play with him. Only Yaoyao didn't care about his appearance and made him feel warm. That's why he chose Yaoyao to participate together. I have no ill intentions. I hope you Do not be angry."
Si Nian nodded: "It's okay, it's also a test for Yaoyao."
Indeed, with such an astonishing beauty, he has been called a beautiful boy since he was a child. Not only are he amazed by his appearance, but he is also attacked.
She scolded him for looking like a sissy, which was not in line with the majestic and domineering identity of a man.
Sinian could even imagine what kind of environment this child had lived in since he was a child.
It became clearer why he wanted to get such an ugly haircut.
The game ended soon. As soon as Yaoyao came out, Si Nian saw Xie Xian following closely behind her.
"How is it?" Si Nian looked away and asked his daughter.
Yaoyao said happily: "It's so fun, Mom. I have never seen so many people who can draw. Everyone is so good."
Her eyes were excited. In the past, she was the only one who knew how to draw, and she couldn't find anyone to discuss it with.
Later, after her mother sent her to learn painting, she met Xie Xian. Xie Xian was very good at painting and attracted her attention immediately.
Now I see hundreds of students sitting and painting together. This scene is a very novel experience for Yaoyao.
She felt hot.
She thought that her second brother must have felt the same way when he was competing.
Si Nian smiled and touched her head: "As long as you like it. If you like it in the future, you can participate in more competitions. Not only can you meet more people, but you can also see bigger scenes."
Si Nian thought about it. In the novel, Yaoyao liked to express her feelings through painting because she couldn't speak. However, because no one in the countryside knew how to paint, she was the only one immersed in her own world and gradually became depressed.
But things are different now. Yaoyao has a cheerful personality. Not only is she not afraid of contact with outsiders, but she has also met more and more similar friends.
Si Nian hoped that she would be bright and generous.
Only if you have seen better and bigger scenes since childhood, you will not be easily deceived when you grow up.
In the afternoon, the results came out.
The person who won the first place was Xie Xian, and his work was even bought by the museum as a collection.
The first place is well deserved.
Yaoyao won the fifth place, which is quite controversial. On the one hand, it is because her foundation is not good and her lines are messy. On the other hand, her imagination is surprising. Her paintings have a unique artistic conception. There are several judges. I tried my best to protect myself, so I got fifth place.
Yaoyao didn't expect that she could win the award, and she was completely confused.
"Mom, I won a prize, I won a prize too!" When she came to her senses, she exclaimed, turned around and hugged Si Nian happily.
Si Nian was also a little surprised. She didn't expect her daughter to actually win the award. She smiled and said, "Mom saw it. Go and receive the award. After receiving the award, go home and tell your brother and the others."
Yaoyao nodded and went up to the stage to receive the award.
There are ten awards in total, and they only have two here.
The teacher was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.
On the way back, I asked them to treat me to dinner.
Si Nian refused, saying that there were two children waiting for him at home, and the teacher was helpless.
Seeing Si Nian leading Yaoyao into the car, Xie Xian said, "I'm not going either."
Then he followed.
"Little ancestor, if you don't want to go, you won't go. Wait for the teacher."
After saying that, he followed.
It had been another five hours since we returned, and Si Nian's buttocks were sore from sitting.
By the time we finally got to the city, it was already getting late, and the parents were taking their children back to their homes.
Si Nian and his daughter were about to go home when they were called.
She turned around and saw Xie Xian. He was holding clothes in his hands and said with a complex expression: "Thank you for the clothes."
Si Nian smiled and reached out to take it, and said: "You're welcome, we are going back first, you should go home early, Yaoyao and Xiaoxian's friend say goodbye."
"Bye Xiaoxian, see you tomorrow."
Xie Xian looked at her and nodded.
After the two of them left, he withdrew his gaze and turned to leave.
Yaoyao originally wanted to show off that she had won the trophy.
But I didn’t expect that my eldest and second brothers were already asleep when I got home.
Even Rhubarb only had its butt outside.
Her face was full of disappointment. Si Nian saw the disappointment written on her face and said, "Call Dad. Dad probably isn't asleep yet."
Zhou Yueshen returned to his hometown, where there was a telephone. Si Nian no longer wrote letters. In the past, her family was worried about the phone bill, so they always wrote to her. She felt it was very ritualistic, so she also wrote letters.
But when there is something important, you still have to make a phone call.
Yaoyao's eyes lit up and she immediately ran over to call her father.
Sure enough, the call came through quickly. Her eyes lit up and she said loudly, "Dad, I participated in the painting competition and got a certificate."
Zhou Yueshen on the other side heard his daughter's voice and chuckled with a gentle voice: "It's Yaoyao. She got the award? She's so awesome. Where is your mother?"
"Mom went to take a shower. Are dad and brother okay? When will you be back?"
Zhou Yueshen was about to say something when someone pulled his trouser leg.
He lowered his head and saw that his son, who had gone to bed long ago but was not asleep, was wearing pajamas and looking at him with bright eyes...the phone in his hand.
"Mom?"
Zhou Yueshen shook his head, "No."
The little guy immediately let go of his hand.
Zhou Yueshen: "...it belongs to your sister."
His hand pulled up again: "Listen, I listen."
Seeing that his father refused, he shouted loudly: "Sister, help me, the stinky daddy is trying to break us up, and you are going to lose your lovely and obedient brother, wuwuwu~"
Zhou Yueshen: "..."
Ever since he took him back to his hometown without telling his son, the younger son's resentment towards him has become deeper and deeper day by day.
He handed him the phone, and the little guy complained to his sister with tears and runny nose.
It seemed that Zhou Yueshen was not his father, but the prisoner who kidnapped him.
After talking for at least half an hour, Zhou Yueshen saw that he was no longer crying, and then he said, "Are you happy?"
The little guy felt a little guilty now, and said with a pinched neck: "I, I'm not happy, Mom's sister and brother Dahuang are not here..."
When he thought that he was the only one in the whole family following his father, the little guy felt sad and cried sadly: "Oh, oh, oh, oh, I miss my mother so much."
Zhou Yueshen had a headache, so he picked up his son and coaxed: "Your mother will be back soon. Don't cry. A man who bleeds will not shed tears."
"Really?" The little guy looked at his father suspiciously.
Zhou Yueshen nodded, "Why did I lie to you? Go to bed."
"Then let's pull the hook."
He held out his little finger.
Zhou Yueshen's mouth twitched and he had to cooperate with him.
Finally, I sent the little guy to the room. Just as he was about to leave, he was pulled back.
Xiaotuanzi pursed his lips and said aggrievedly: "My mother used to tell me stories every day..."
Zhou Yueshen: "..."
.......
Ever since the little boy saw his favorite hairstyle, he has been obsessed with it.
It was finally time to have a holiday, so I asked Si Nian to take him to get a haircut.
Si Nian saw that he really liked it, and although he couldn't help complaining about his son's aesthetics, he thought he was still a child and just wanted to be happy, so he agreed and took him to pick up the same style before the winter vacation.
After they went to school together, the little eldest brother didn't want to go with him because he felt embarrassed.
But the second child feels good about himself and still feels handsome.
Si Nian was busy writing a paper and forgot to call home for several days.
As a result, I got a call from home just after I finished my work, telling me that something happened.
