Within two days, Su Yue went to the supply and marketing cooperative with the tickets and money and bought a new bicycle so that the family can go anywhere more conveniently.
Dabao and Xiaobao showed their love for cars at a young age. Knowing that the car was for riding outside, they grabbed the bicycle and tried to drag it out.
They even called Su Yue and said, “Mom, let’s go play.”
Su Yue waved her hands and said, “You two are too young, and you are not tall enough to ride on the bike.”
Xiaobao immediately ran to Su Yue, hugged her legs and smiled in an awkward manner, “Mom, ride.”
Su Yue continued to wave, “Mom doesn’t know how to ride either.”
Xiaobao pursed his lips and turned to look at Dabao.
Dabao walked up to Han Aimin who was watching the excitement, stood on tiptoe and held his hand, and said in a sweet voice: “Uncle, can you take us for a ride?”
The little guy spoke clearly and with a milky voice and a pair of big black eyes looking at you longingly, Han Aimin couldn’t stand it anymore. He couldn’t resist the coquettishness of the two little guys like Su Yue, so he immediately nodded and agreed, “Okay, little one. Uncle will take you to ride. “
Su Yue covered her forehead, while Mrs. Han laughed and said to Su Yue: “Dabao is smart and has found the right person.”
Su Yue shook her head and looked at Xiaobao’s liveliness. He seems naughty and clever, but when it comes to strategy, he is definitely not as good as Dabao. Dabao doesn’t talk much and looks quiet, but he is actually very smart. He is very stable at a young age.
If he wants to do something. It must be done accurately, and those cases are the difficult ones which can’t be dealt by Xiaobao. When they wanted to go out to play, Xiaobao first asked her but she refused, so Dabao knew to ask his uncle who would never refuse them.
Since the two children were still young and might not be able to hold themselves up while sitting on the back seat of a bicycle and fall, Han Aimin thought about it and came up with a good idea.
He took out the basket used to store things at home,then put some clothes in it, and tied it with a rope to the back seat of the bicycle. After making sure it was secure, he took the two little guys downstairs. With his hands, he put the two of them into the basket, just enough to fit them in.
”Are you seated?” Han Aimin asked loudly.
Dabao nodded and held the edge of the basket firmly with his little hands.
Xiaobao nodded and replied loudly: “Sit down!”
”Okay, let’s set off!” With that, Han Aimin got on the car, stepped on it, and the car slid away for a long distance, and the breeze blew in his face.
Xiaobao stood in the basket and giggled non-stop, and his magical laughter echoed throughout the compound.
Su Yue and Mrs. Han stood on the balcony watching them. Su Yue said: “With their uncle taking them to ride a bike, these two children won’t stay at home anymore.”
As expected, the two little guys realized the joy of riding. After that day, they hugged Han Aimin’s legs after eating every day, and coquettishly asked him to take them out for a ride. Han Aimin also doted on children and responded to requests. He not only took the children for rides in the compound, but also sometimes took them with him to commune to shopping for home, he put the two children in the baskets on the back seat of the car and take them with him. He would use his own pocket money to buy some delicious food for the two children at the supply and marketing cooperative, and let them eat while he drives.
In this way, Han Aimin’s status in the hearts of the two children gradually increased. When they woke up every day, they no longer clung to Su Yue, but looked for their uncle.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. School was about to start soon. Han Aimin needed to go to a high school in the provincial capital and could not come back every day.
On the day Han Aimin left, the two children were extremely sad. They burst into tears and refused to let their uncle go. Xiaobao hugged Han Aimin’s legs and shook his head sadly, “Uncle don’t go, don’t go… ….”
Dabao also held on to his trouser legs tightly.
Han Aimin was reluctant to let go of the two children. He held one in each hand and coaxed them, “Uncle will go away for a few days and will come back to play with you soon. Be good and don’t cry.”
Xiaobao cried and Hiccuped, hugged his neck and said, “Uncle, take me with you.”
Han Aimin didn’t know what to do.
Su Yue had to step forward to solve the problem and said to the two children: “Then you go with your uncle and come back to see your mother in a few days. You have to take care of yourself when you get there, because in the future you won’t be able to eat the delicious food made by mother. You can’t eat cakes, sesame cakes, sushi, twists, and cheese. Alas, I’ll give these to your father in the future.”
Xiaobao’s cry immediately stopped. With tears hanging on his cheeks, he paused for a moment, slowly let go of his hand, then kissed Han Aimin’s cheek and said, “Uncle, then come back soon.”
Dabao also kissed Han Aimin to say goodbye.
Han Aimin: ….. What about the uncle you said you couldn’t let go of?
Under the temptation of food, Han Aimin was able to leave smoothly, but the two little guys would run to the door of the compound hand in hand every day, holding on to the iron gate and looking outside to see if their uncle had come back. They were so eager to see him.
So Han Aiguo had another task. When he came back from work every day, he would carry the two little ones home from the gate for dinner. The two little ones were very happy to sit on their father’s shoulders, giggling every time. Su Yue didn’t even know whether they were waiting for their uncle or their father.
On this day, a new family finally moved in next door, which had been empty for several months.
The person who moved here happened to be a company commander under Han Aiguo. His wife had the same status as Su Yue. They were both educated youths who went to the countryside. Her name was Mao Xue. She was pretty and had a capable personality. As for why Su Yue knew was because Mao Xue brought her child to visit Su Yue’s family on the first day she moved here.
Mao Xue also brought some apples over, and Su Yue quickly waved her hand, “We will all be neighbors from now on, don’t be so polite, just take the apples back.”
Mao Xue said with a smile: “It’s not worth the money. It’s bad to come empty-handed for the first time, take it, I won’t be polite.”
Seeing this, Su Yue had no choice but to accept it, and went to get the cake she made for Mao Xue’s child to eat.
The Mao Xue family also has a son, named Maomao. He is one year older than Dabao and Xiaobao, but he is about the same height as Dabao and Xiaobao, and is also much thinner than Dabao and Xiaobao. The little guy is really thin. There wasn’t much flesh on the face. It looked like a big head and big eyes. Compared with the chubby Dabao and Xiaobao, he was really pitiful. Su Yue felt distressed just looking at him.
Although the current living conditions are not good, how can child be so thin? Is it possible that his body is not absorbing nutrients well?
However, when they met for the first time, Su Yue was embarrassed to ask this question. She handed the cake in her hand to the little guy, “Come on, baby, eat the cake.”
Maomao looked at the cake in Su Yue’s hand, and the desire flashed in his eyes, but he didn’t take it immediately. Instead, he looked up at Su Yue, his eyes were timid, and he even took two steps back, looking very scared.
Mao Xue glanced at him displeased, then smiled and said to Su Yue: “This child has been afraid of strangers since he was a child. Don’t mind.”
Su Yue shook her head and gave the cake to Mao Xue and asked her to give it to the child.
Mao Xue took it and handed it to him, “Auntie gave it to you, eat it quickly.”
Maomao bit his lip, raised his head and glanced at Mao Xue timidly, and then cautiously stretched out his hand to take the cake.
Dabao and Xiaobao ran over and took the cake without Su Yue’s instructions. They took a small spoon, and Xiao Mao also got a spoon. The two brothers patted him on the shoulders kindly and Xiaobao said, “Hurry up. The cakes made by my mother are unparalleled in the world.”
After saying that, he said, “Aaaawww”, took a big spoonful and put it into his mouth. He narrowed his eyes in enjoyment and shook his head, as if got something amazing to eat.
Su Yue didn’t even look at this drama queen.
But Maomao was attracted by Xiaobao’s appearance. He slowly took a spoonful and put it into his mouth. His eyes widened in surprise. His already big eyes seemed even bigger.
Xiaobao raised his chin and asked proudly: “Isn’t the food made by my mother good?”
Maomao blinked and nodded.
Xiaobao was even more proud. He put his arms around his shoulders and said, “Then if you listen to me, I will give you good food as reward.”
Maomao stared at him, looking dumbfounded.
Su Yue immediately slapped Xiaobao’s butt and shouted: “You bad boy, Maomao is older than you, so he won’t listen to what you say.”
Xiaobao rubbed his fleshy butt, pursed his lips and stopped talking.
Mao Xue said with a smile: “This boy of mine is very stupid. He is not even half as clever as your child. He should listen to your child.”
Su Yue waved her hand, “Maomao is very good. There are only these two in my family. You will become a monkey if you listen to him.”
Xiaobao pouted and retorted for himself, “Mom, I am a good boy, not a monkey.”
Su Yue rolled her eyes, this kid had a serious lack of understanding of himself.
After chatting for more than half an hour, Mao Xue got up and took Maomao back home. Su Yue gave some pastries back for Maomao.
After the door closed, Mrs. Han said: “This family seems to be fine, not as difficult to get along with the one before. The child are about the same age as our eldest and little one. The two children will also have an extra playmate in the future, but that child looks too timid and doesn’t dare to say a word. I don’t think his mother is like this. Why is the child so timid?”
Su Yue didn’t know what was going on. She always felt that the child was cautious, even seemed scared of his mother.
Old Mrs. Han said again: “I heard that Xiao Mao’s husband is also from the countryside, but she looks very similar to you. She doesn’t look like a girl from the countryside.”
Su Yue also felt that Mao Xue didn’t have that rural feeling. But maybe, rural women also are like this.
There are many people who are generous and have quality life, but there are still many girls in the city who have no quality life.
But this problem was soon solved, because there was an “inquirer” upstairs in their house, Old Mrs. Sun. This old lady was also a god, and she could always understand all kinds of gossip. She asked Mao Xue about it and took the initiative to come over and talk to Mrs. Han.
”The daughter-in-law named Mao next door to you is said to be a girl from a big city. She married her man because the educated youth went to the countryside.”
” That’s right.” Old Mrs. Han sighed, “This It’s all fate.”
Old Mrs. Sun added casually: “What fate? Educated youths all have high ambitions and low abilities. They can’t do anything. Those female educated youths can’t stand the suffering and can’t go back to the city. They can only find a man with good conditions and marry him.”
After saying this, Mrs. Sun remembered that Su Yue was also an educated youth who went to the countryside before marrying Han Aiguo, and immediately changed her words in embarrassment: “Of course, not all, like Your Xiaosu is very good, and it is fate that your family got together.”
Old Mrs. Han smiled.
Su Yue suppressed a smile in her heart, it was always easy for Mrs. Sun to speak carelessly.
Seeing that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn’t mind, Old Mrs. Sun started talking again, “You know, that girl looks pretty good on the surface, but she’s actually not that good either. I heard she was living with her father-in-law and mother-in-law in the countryside. Their relationship was very bad and they were even quarreling, so she wanted to come here to join the army. Such a wife is not good enough and doesn’t know how to be filial. If she were with my son, he would have divorced her a long time ago. Why would she join the army? “
Old Mrs. Han retorted: “The poor relationship cannot be entirely blamed on the daughter-in-law. Some elders have problems with their own lives, so it is not the daughter-in-law’s fault.”
“Yes, yes.” Old Mrs. Sun said proudly: “You also have to be a good mother-in-law. Ah, people like you and people like me are good mothers-in-law, and their daughters-in-law will definitely be filial.”
Su Yue shook her head and decided to take the two children out for a walk.
The mother and son walked to the door, only to see Maomao squatting alone at the door of the house. There were no adults around. They didn’t know what he waw doing, so they walked up and asked, “Maomao, what are you doing here?”
Maomao seemed to be frightened. He took a breath, stood up, glanced at Su Yue and Dabao , Xiaobao, and the next second lowered his head to look at the ground without speaking.
Su Yue felt that this child was really too introverted and did not dare to say a word. This was not possible, so she asked: “Maomao, aunt is taking Dabao and Xiaobao down the road to play. Do you want to come with us? You can play games with your little brother Dabao and Xiaobao.”
Hearing this, Maomao looked up again, with a serious flash of desire, but still didn’t speak.
Su Yue had no choice but to walk to the next door, and saw that the door was ajar. She gently opened the door and saw Mao Xue reading a book at the table, seeming very involved.
Su Yue called her. She looked up and saw Su Yue. She smiled and said, “What’s the matter? Come in and sit down.”
Su Yue waved her hand, “I was about to take my two children to play downstairs when I saw Maomao. He was standing at the door, so I just wanted to take him to play with me and ask you if it was okay.”
Mao Xue paused, tucks the hair around her ears, nodded with a smile, “Okay, sure why not , this kid doesn’t even go to play by himself, but it happens to be with you, so I’ll trouble you. “
”No trouble.” Su Yue closed the door, let go of Dabao’s hand, and held Maomao’s little hand instead. It was obvious that he shrank, but in the end he didn’t break away.
Su Yue smiled and pulled him downstairs, “Your mother agreed, let’s go downstairs to play together. Later we’ll play eagle and catch chickens.”
Although Maomao didn’t say anything, he was pulled away by Su Yue obediently. Su Yue knew that this child also wanted to go downstairs to play.
When she got downstairs, Su Yue found a few more children playing downstairs. Let the oldest child be the hen, standing at the front to protect the chicks, and put Maomao in the middle of Dabao and Xiaobao, and let the two of them take care of Maomao so that the child will not be afraid.
She will be the eagle, responsible for catching the chicks.
At the beginning of the game, Su Yue pretended to catch them in front with her teeth and claws, and screamed strangely: “Look at these chickens, how beautiful they are. I want to catch the chickens and eat them!”
”Ahhhh – the eagle is coming, run! ” “The children were so frightened by the eagle that they screamed and ran very fast. Even Mao Mao, who was afraid of strangers, started running with the other children and slowly grinned.
When the children were all sweating profusely from playing, Su Yue stopped and wiped the sweat of Dabao and Xiaobao with a handkerchief, and was about to wipe it with Maomao, but Maomao squatted down subconsciously and hugged his head, as if she wanted to hit him.
Su Yue Stunned, “Maomao, what’s wrong with you? Auntie is wiping your sweat. “
After a while, Maomao raised his head and looked at Su Yue blankly, making sure that Su Yue was not going to hit him. Then he stood up slowly and twisted his hands uneasily.
Su Yue frowned, feeling strange in her heart. It was strange, but she couldn’t explain it, so she had to wipe his sweat with a handkerchief, and then took the three children upstairs.
Xiaobao took Maomao’s hand and walked together, and asked: “Maomao, do you want to play with us tomorrow ? “
Maomao didn’t say anything this time. Instead, he nodded quickly, looking very expectant.
Su Yue smiled. It seems that this child is not born timid. If he plays more with lively children, he may be better in the future.
