Chapter 80 lonely

Xiaoxiao is taking the Chinese test in the classroom.He had something on his mind, hurriedly finished a few sentences, and then went to hand in the paper.As soon as he handed it in, the teacher looked up at him and said, "Check it again yourself, is there any typo? I haven't finished school yet. What are you busy with?" . After school was finally over, Mother Zhao came to pick him up.As soon as he saw it, he asked, "Are your aunt and sister here?" Zhao's mother smiled and said, "Here they are, let's go home quickly, your sister is wonderful." After hearing this, he ran forward by himself, Zhao Ma called him repeatedly from behind, but he just pretended not to hear.

When he got home, he ran up the steps and heard his mother calling from the house: "Come on, Xiaoxiao, and see Auntie." He opened the bamboo curtain and went in. His mother was sitting with a young woman.He hastily went up and bowed, and his aunt held him in her arms, without saying anything, but tears fell down.Then the mother said: "Let auntie take a rest. Go out and play with your sister first. She is watching the fish in the backyard." Xiao Xiaopi came out again, walked around the porch, and saw her sister wearing light blue clothes, with black hair hanging down. tied with a wide light blue ribbon; and Zhao Mama standing by the fish tank, talking.

Zhao Ma pushed her and said, "Brother is here." When she looked back, she took Zhao Ma's hand and smiled.Zhao's mother said: "Little brother! Let's play together, I still have something to do. "Xiao Xiao went over, and Zhao Ma left by herself. Small novel: "Sister, look at my fish, how are they? They are all caught in the stream behind." The younger sister just looked at him and smiled. Xiaoxiao saw that she didn't answer, so she leaned beside the tank, each watching the fish, and didn't speak any more. At the dinner table, his mother, aunt, and his brother and sister were talking very affectionately, and his sister and him gradually became familiar.After dinner, mother and aunt were enjoying the cool outside on the porch, while Xiaoxiao and his sister were playing inside.Xiaoxiao brought out many toys, and they played with them under the lamp.Small words are the most, talk about this, talk about that, the younger sister just looks at him with a smile.

The mother called out from the window: "Go to bed early, tomorrow..." Xiao Xiao hurriedly replied: "It's okay, I finished my exams, and I won't go to school tomorrow." He got off the chair and wanted to go to bed; Xiao Xiao had no choice but to go back to the house too—on the bed, he wanted to go fishing with his sister tomorrow morning. He got up early in the morning, Zhao mother didn't let him disturb his sister, so he had to play in the yard by himself.After a while, I heard my aunt and mother talking in the room, and heard my sister get up, so I opened the door and went in.My sister was standing by the window, and my aunt was combing her hair.

Seeing Xiaoxiao come in, the aunt said: "Xiaoxiao is such a good student, she wakes up so early!" He smiled and said good morning. After breakfast, the two will go out.The mother told Xiao Xiaoxiao: "Haosheng takes care of my younger sister, the stream is deep, it's not for fun to fall, and be careful not to get your clothes wet!" Xiao Xiao hurriedly agreed, and went with her sister. After opening the back door, there is a clear stream in front of you; the weeping willows in the two rows of Jiaxi are reflected in the water, very green.The two walked first, picked up stones, and finally sat down on a big stone by the water, talking.

My sister said: "There is no brook in our place. When the gate is open, it is just a big street with many carriages and horses walking around. At night, the street is full of electric lights. It is much more lively than here, but it is not as cool as here." I like to be lively; but I am good at fishing here, and there are also crabs. In summer, I see farmers harvesting wheat, and they are all pulled by carts. In summer evenings, my mother and I often sit here under the trees, listening to the water flow and the cicadas." Saying that, Xiao Xiao stood up and jumped onto a big stream rock in the water.

The stone shook slightly, and the younger sister said, "Be careful! It's about to fall." Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "I'm not afraid, I've fallen several times. Look at the scar on my leg." Then she took off her socks , Pointing to the calf to show to my sister.The younger sister shook her head and smiled and said, "I'm afraid, I'm most afraid of shaking things. I didn't dare to hit too high on the swing at school." The little novel: "Of course, you are a girl." The younger sister said: "Then Not necessarily! My classmates all hit very high. They are not afraid." Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "So you are a timid girl." The younger sister smiled and had nothing to say.

Looking around, Xiaoxiao suddenly asked, "Why did auntie cry yesterday?" The younger sister said, "Brother Xuan is dead, don't you know? We wouldn't have come here if we hadn't suffered for our mother." Novel: "My mother wrote to my uncle, saying that she would pick up my aunt to play with you. I heard—why did Brother Xuan die?" The younger sister tapped the stream gently with a willow branch, and said, "I don't know. What is the disease? The first few days came back from school and he was fine. We played together. Then he fell asleep at night and fell into a coma. He died in the hospital within a few days. My mother came back from the hospital that day, her eyes were red and swollen Yes, I just found out. My father went to bury him, and when he came back, he locked up all his things so that my mother would not see them—one day I found a textbook because I was looking for it, and my mother cried. I also cried for a long time..." My sister's eyes turned red when she said this.

Putting his hands in his trouser pockets, Xiaoxiao stared at her for a long time and said, "It doesn't matter, I'm your brother too." The younger sister smiled and said, "But you were not born by my mother, not my real brother." Xiao Xiao had nothing to say, and said again: "It's the same anyway, don't be sad! You see there are many dragonflies flying on the water over there, it's going to rain soon, I'll catch some for you to play with." It really rained in the afternoon, so they found several long lines in the dining room and tied dragonflies at both ends.Letting go, the dragonflies flew all over the room, but they didn't fly very high because they were pulling each other back and forth.The younger sister stood on the chair, clapping her hands and laughing with joy.Suddenly a dragonfly flew onto my sister's face, and the one at the other end was hanging by the sleeve, fluttering its wings, and my sister was so frightened that she just screamed.Xiao Xiao just watched and couldn't help laughing.The younger sister was in a hurry and jumped off the chair by herself.Xiaoxiao hurried up and caught her; seeing that her sister seemed angry, she coaxed her, opened the door, broke the thread, and let all the dragonflies go.

It rained for several days and couldn't go out. Xiaoxiao and his sister just sat on the porch, watching the rain and telling stories.The little general had finished telling all the stories he had heard, so he had to make up a paragraph. After thinking it over, he said: "There was an old lady who had two sons, the younger one was named Zhu Bajie, the older one was named Tu Xingsun,... The younger sister smiled and said: "No, Zhu Bajie has no mother, and his elder brother is not called Tu Xingsun, but Sun Xingzhe; you think I have never heard of it!" Xiao Xiao also laughed: "What I said is another Zhu Bajie, not the Zhu Bajie from above." The younger sister shook her head and laughed, "Don't lie, I know you're making it up." Bored, Xiao Xiao said, "Then tell me something." The younger sister also thought for a while, and said: "Once upon a time... once upon a time there was a king who had a daughter named Princess Snow Flower, who was very beautiful..." Xiaoxiao said, "Someone will come to harm her in the future?" The younger sister looked at him and said, "Yes, you heard But, I won’t talk about it.” Xiao Xiao hurriedly said: “I haven’t heard of it, I guess it’s like that, let’s go on!” The younger sister said: “After the king’s queen died, he married another queen. It's called... I forgot the name... The new queen got angry when she saw that Princess Snow Flower was prettier than herself, and sent her to the empty mountain, and asked an old lady to coax her to eat with a poisoned apple..." Xiao Xiao asked quickly "Will someone come to rescue her in the future?" The younger sister said with a smile: "Don't be too busy——I don't know why Princess Snowflake didn't die. The king knew that the new queen was not good, so he kicked her out. The princess Snowflake was still picked up." After returning home, everyone lived happily." The younger sister stopped, and Xiao Xiao asked: "What about the future?" The younger sister said: "It will be like this in the future, and there will be no more. "

Xiaoxiao stood up, stretched her waist, and said: "When I listen to stories, I am most afraid that when I hear happiness, it will be over as soon as I am happy. Every time Zhao Ma tells a story, as soon as she talks about becoming a rich man or an official, she just It's almost over, it's so boring!" My sister said: "A story always has an end, and there is never an end. It's not as good as a story with a bad ending, which can make me think about it for days..." Xiao Xiao suddenly Thinking of a passage, he said: "I have a story that can't be told-there was a king..." He opened his arms and gestured: "I built a barn bigger than the sky, and saved more money than the sky." rice in it. One day, a sparrow passed by. There were so many sparrows that they flew in groups, covering the sun.When they saw those rice grains, they found a small hole and flew in one by one..." The younger sister laughed quickly: "I know!The first sparrow went in and took out a grain of rice; the second sparrow went in again and took out another grain of rice; this way they all talked about each other, right?I heard Brother Xuan said it. " Xiao Xiaodao: "Yes, the person who made up this story is really a coincidence. It really is a paragraph that can't be finished." The younger sister said: "I don't believe it. I think there are more rice than the sky, but there are only tens of millions of grains. He kept talking night and day, and it will be over after a few years." Xiao Xiao was about to agree, when her mother called in the room, she stopped and went in together. The rain became heavier at night, and light thunder was heard from time to time.Xiaoxiao is very upset: the stream at the back door has not been gone for several days, the story is exhausted, there is nothing interesting at home, after much deliberation, gradually falling into a dream - dreaming of taking her sister into a deep woods , there is a big lake in the forest.Walking by the lake was a woman in white, who seemed to be Princess Snowflake.She was holding a big cage in her hand, and there were many sparrows in it, and she was about to step forward, when her eyes lit up, and they disappeared. He opened his eyes, the sun filled the room, and the sky was clear, but he still didn't believe it. He got up and saw that the sky was very blue, and the birds on the branches kept chirping; Yes, he liked it in his heart, quickly put on his clothes, and hurried out - the dream was forgotten. The younger sister was sitting on the porch by herself, rubbing her eyes in a daze, and when she saw him, she laughed and said, "Brother, the sky is clear!" Xiaoxiao clapped her hands and laughed, "No way! Look at the rain in the yard——I dare to go down." His sister looked at him with a smile, so he took off his shoes and socks, walked gently into the water, and said with a smile, "It's very cool, but there is moss underneath, which makes it very slippery." water sound.The younger sister went to the porch and said, "It's so fun, I'll go down too." Xiaoxiao leaned over, lifted up her trousers, and said, "Come down if you dare, and we'll dance in the water." The younger sister smiled and sat down. On the porch, just after taking off a sock, my mother came out of the house and saw it, and said, "It's amazing! Xiao Xiao, come up quickly, you just take my sister to be naughty!" The sister quickly put on the sock again. Xiaoxiao smiled and took her shoes and socks from the corridor, and ran to the bathroom barefoot. After the meal, my mother said that everyone should go out to relax.My aunt was just lazy, and couldn't help my sister and Xiaoxiao's persuasion, so I had to go out with her.Arriving at the park first, my mother and aunt went into a "sales shop"; Xiaoxiao and my sister ran away from a distance, watched the bathing ducks by the water for a while, and then went up the hill.After the rain, the hills and woods are very green; the wild jasmine in the fence behind the mountain is in full bloom, looking like colorful clouds. The lotus in the pond is also in full bloom, and a small boat is tied by the water.The two of them were discussing that they wanted to board the boat to play; as they were going down, they saw their mother waving to him in the pavilion at the foot of the mountain. When I arrived at the pavilion, I saw my aunt sitting weakly leaning against the pillars of the pavilion, with tears in her eyes.The younger sister hurried over and leaned against her aunt in silence.Mother whispered: "Let's go back, Auntie is having a hard time." Xiao Xiao had no choice but to come out together. Xiaoxiao in the car asked softly: "Why is Auntie crying again?" The mother said: "Auntie saw that I bought you a small straw hat. It looks very good, and I also want to buy one for Brother Xuan. Suddenly remembered After Brother Xuan died, we wept again, and we turned around and came out.——Look at how deep mother's love for her son is!" Mother said with a deep sigh, and Xiao Xiao was also speechless. The aunt's car in front was parked in front of the candy company. My aunt bought two bottles of candy for my sister and gave him two more bottles.Xiaoxiao quickly thanked her aunt, and bought another bottle of banana oil by herself.The younger sister asked: "Why buy this?" Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "Go home and make ice cream!" When I got home, my aunt was just lazy again.My sister went to bed with my aunt.Xiaoxiao ran around by herself, looking for the bucket of ice cream, preparing to make it tomorrow. At dusk my younger sister woke up, her face was sweaty from sleep, she only said she was hot; her mother sent her to take a bath and washed her hair, Xiao Xiao took a big fan and stood on the porch to fan her vigorously .The younger sister pushed back the hair that brushed her face, and said with a smile, "Don't fan it, I feel cold." Xiao Xiao said: "So let's go outside the door. There is wind under the tree, and it will dry after a while." The man came out and sat on the root of the tree. In the twilight, the crescent moon hangs on the willow twigs—a postman in green clothes comes from a distance. Xiaoxiao put down her fan when she saw it, ran to meet her, and took two letters.The younger sister hurriedly asked: "Who is the letter from?" Xiaoxiao looked at it and said: "One is from my father, and the other is probably from my uncle. You wait, I will send it first." After saying that, she went in. As soon as he turned around, he came out again; the younger sister said: "My father sent a letter, he must pick us up and leave." The little novel: "I don't know-if you leave, I will definitely write to you, I wrote 'Sister Song Sir, okay?" The younger sister laughed and said, "My scientific name is not my younger sister, and I don't like to be called 'Mr'. I like to be called 'Ms.'. On weekdays, my father sends letters from the south to me. You also call me 'Ms.'." Little novel: "That's fine, what's your scientific name?" My sister didn't answer. Playing the side of the fan with both hands, the little boy said, "My father has been in England for more than a year, and there will be one letter every two weeks, sometimes several letters at once. There were foreign characters written on the envelope, which I didn't recognize, but my mother said that my name was also written on it. The younger sister said, "Why don't you go to England with your uncle?" "Xiao Xiao shook her head and said: "If mother doesn't go, I won't go either.I only love my country, where there are trees and water.I don't love England, they're full of yellow-haired, blue-eyed kids! The younger sister said: "Our husband often said that we should also love foreign countries. I think that is reasonable." " Xiao Xiaodao: "If you want to love you, you can love. Anyway, I only have one heart. If I love my country, I don't have the heart to love other countries." While stroking her hair, the younger sister said: "One heart can be divided into many parts, just like my one heart, which loved my father, loved my mother, and loved many others..." At this moment Xiao Xiao suddenly pointed Heaven said: "Sister! look! The younger sister stopped, and when she looked up, a small star, dragging a piece of brilliance, flew across the sky and flew straight to the end of the sky. It was getting dark, and they went in.I moved two low stools and a big chair, and had dinner in the yard.The mother opened up the younger sister's hair in the back and braided two braids loosely.Xiaoxiao said: "Having hair is so troublesome! I don't need to comb my hair every morning, even washing it doesn't take much effort." While eating, the younger sister said, "But mother said that hair has a kind of gentle beauty." Xiaoxiao nodded and said: " Yes, but I am like this, even if I have hair, I am not beautiful." My aunt also laughed. Waking up early the next day, Xiao Xiao was busy sending Zhao Ma to wash the bucket, buy ice and salt to make ice cream.Mother mixed the materials for them, and the two of them were shaking under the tree in the yard. After a while, I lifted the lid to have a look, and said, "Okay!" It was still thin.The younger sister smiled and said: "Don't be impatient, it hasn't curdled yet, try to open the lid and leak all the salt in!" Xiao Xiao took out a little more, tasted it and said, "It's tasteless, it's too much, Why don't you put some of my candy on it." My sister said, "Okay." So Xiaoxiao put on some orange candies, and poured the whole bottle of banana oil into it.In the end, I was afraid that it would be too sweet, so I added some boiling water. My younger sister pricked her wet hands, wiped the sweat off her face with her sleeves, and said, "It's so hot, I won't shake it anymore!" The little novel said, "When I come, you sit on the side and rest first." After shaking for a long time, Xiao Xiao was tired, so he said: "It must be ready, let's scoop it out and eat it." The younger sister filled it out, tasted it, and remained silent for a long time.Xiao Xiao also tasted it, but asked her younger sister, "Is it delicious?" The younger sister smiled and said, "It's not like what we usually eat, it's a bit sour and salty." Xiao Xiao put down the cup, clapped her hands and laughed. : "What sour and salty? It's simply not delicious! Forget it, give it to Zhao Ma." Randomly tidied it up, Xiaoxiao fanned it by herself, and said: "It's still interesting to go fishing for crabs. We've shaken the ice cream for a long time, and it's hot too. Just go under the shade of a tree to cool off." The younger sister took the fishing rod, picked it up, Take the bait and go out the door.Small novel: "Look at that big rock in the water under the tree over there, it's just sitting there, and the water depth is good for fishing; if you're afraid, I'll help you over there." My sister said, "I'm not afraid." Then she stepped from the edge of the water. Holding on to the stones one by one, holding on to the fishing rod, he walked up slowly. After the rain, the stream swelled, and the rocks were like boats, and the breeze was blowing the water and the willow leaves.The sound of cicadas is noisy.The fields and cottages stretch as far as the eye can see.The younger sister was very happy, and said: "It's so nice here, I don't want to go back!" Xiaoxiao said: "This rock is our country, I will be the president, and you will be a soldier." The younger sister said: "I won't be a soldier, I won't If you fire a gun, you are also afraid of the sound." Small novel: "Then you will be the president, and I will be the soldier—after this stone floats into the sea with the water, it will become another world." The younger sister said: "That's not good, I want my mother, I don't know how to comb my hair." Xiaoxiao said: "It doesn't matter if you don't know how to comb your hair, cut it off, just like me." The younger sister said: "Not only for combing hair, but also for another world. I can’t live without a mother, without a mother the world wouldn’t be a thing.” Xiaoxiao said, “In this case, I want a mother too, but this rock can’t fit.” The younger sister stood up, pointing with a fishing rod, and said, “We can move Come over there..." It said above, don't beware that the moss on the stone was very slippery after the rain, my sister didn't stand firm and fell down.Xiao Xiao hurriedly got up and pulled, but her sister was already sitting in the water, and the fishing rod also fell and broke.After finally helping them up, the clothes were already soaked, and both of them were frightened.Xiao Xiao hurriedly asked, "Did you touch anything?" The younger sister looked at her wrist and said, "A piece of skin was wiped off this hand! It doesn't matter, it's just that the clothes are all wet, what should I do?" Xiao Xiao looked at her in panic. She quickly comforted her and said: "Don't be afraid, I have a hand towel here, you wipe it first; we will dry it in the sun after a while. If you go home and change it, my aunt will definitely say you. The younger sister thought about it, and had no choice but to follow him to the shore. Standing in the shade of a tree, Xiaoxiao looked at her younger sister's face, which was flushed red from the sun.The younger sister said: "I'm so hot that I'm dizzy." The little novel: "Is your clothes dry?" The younger sister supported her head and said, "How could it be done so quickly!" The little novel said: "I'll go home Take an umbrella, it will be fine to cover the top and let the bottom dry.” The younger sister nodded, and Xiao Xiao quickly ran back. I couldn't find an umbrella around, so Mama Zhao saw it and said, "Little brother! What are you looking for? Mom and aunt are both taking a nap, so don't mess around! "Xiao Xiao had no choice but to whisper to Zhao's mother, and Zhao's mother was surprised: "You have a good idea!It's okay to get sick from the sun! "As he said that, he hurried out, took his sister back, and found out the clothes to change for her. Feeling the heat on her forehead, he made a cup of mung bean soup for her to drink, picked some "Xie Shu Dan" for her to smell, hugged her and sat quietly on the porch, complaining all the time.The younger sister leaned wearily on Mama Zhao's shoulder and said, "Don't do brother's business, I fell down myself." Xiao Xiao just stayed there. At night my sister just vomited and didn't eat.Aunt is very anxious.Mother said that she must have suffered from sunstroke, and she would ask the doctor to go early tomorrow morning.Zhao's mother didn't say anything, Xiao Xiao was only afraid of herself. ——Tomorrow morning, Xiao Xiaocai was relieved when her sister got well and came out. They dare not go out and only play at home.Pull out all the small bamboo poles supporting the morning glory, and tie them into several rectangular fences first.Then they closed each other side by side, and built a small bamboo shed under the tree in the shade of the wall, and installed a small door.The two of them had been busy for a whole day, and they didn't put down and came into the house together until the lights were turned on and Zhao's mother urged them to have dinner. The mother laughed and said: "My sister is here, Xiaoxiao has a companion, and she doesn't even care about eating. Seeing that tomorrow uncle will pick up my sister, what can you do?" They kept discussing about building a shed. The next day happened to be a "achievement exhibition" in the small school. In the morning, there was an assembly of the teachers and students of the school, and they practiced singing the school song.Many classmates came to Xiaoxiao and wanted to go with him.Xiao Xiao was thinking about building the shed with his sister, but he refused to go, and his classmates would drag him away.He had to tell his sister a few words, and said: "I'll be back in the afternoon, you make up the roof first." The sister agreed, and he went with his classmates. After all, the gentlemen came, sang songs, and made a mess for a long time; Xiaoxiao slipped out by herself before the meeting was over.Passing by the bookstore, I bought a small silk national flag and held it happily.When I entered the door, I called: "Sister! I bought a national flag, so we can put it on the shed..." Zhao Ma came out of her room and said with a smile: "My sister is gone." Don't coax me!" While running to the corridor, she saw her mother sitting under the window writing a letter, Xiao Xiao hurriedly asked, "Where's my sister?" The mother put down the pen and said: "Uncle will pick it up by himself in the morning, and the car at ten o'clock, my aunt and sister will leave." Xiao Xiao was stunned, and said: "Why didn't I hear it earlier?" The mother said: "Didn't it happen last night? Did I tell you? Uncle wrote a letter a few days ago, saying that he had taken five days of leave and was coming to move the family to the south—I never thought they would go so fast. My sister didn’t want to leave, my aunt said The days are too short, they still have to go back to clean up, and I can’t keep them.” Little novel: “Why didn’t Zhao’s mother come to school and call me back?” Mother said: “Everyone was busy at that time, who I still think of these things!" As he spoke, he still went to write a letter.Xiao Xiao stood there for a long time, having nothing to say, so she had to come out by herself, and sat on the porch holding the national flag in a daze. In the afternoon, I took a nap for half a day, and didn't wake up until dusk; I ate casually, and sat under the lamp in a dull mood——Mother Zhao came in and asked, "Where's my pair of scissors?" Xiao Xiao said: "I didn't see it!" Zhao's mother said: "Didn't you and your sister weave the fence yesterday and use it to cut the rope?" Thinking of it, Xiao Xiao said, "It's hanging on the branch at the corner of the wall over there. Go and get it yourself!" After going out, my mother said: "I have never seen you so naughty! No matter what you pick up, you can just pick it up and leave. It's strange that the morning glories were lying around yesterday. You pulled out all the bamboos. No matter how naughty you are, the house will be demolished." It’s over! My sister is gone, it’s time for you to review your homework, it’s not a problem to just play all day long!” Xiao Xiaoman felt melancholy and depressed, with nowhere to go, after hearing what her mother said, she leaned on the table He cried, but his mother ignored him. After crying for a while, I felt tasteless, so I got up and went to sleep.His mother came with him, cleaned up for him, and then gently stroked him and said, "Sleep well, get up early tomorrow, and I will teach you to write a letter to your sister, asking her to come back during the New Year." He managed to suppress his sobs Agreeing, he lay down by himself.Mother sat by the bed for a while, thinking that he was asleep, so she turned off the light and went out by herself. He sat up again, - what a bright moonlight outside the window!I saw the courtyard, the morning glory all over the ground, and the unsuccessful bamboo shed in the corner of the wall.The small door was still ajar, and the roof had already been braided. It was the younger sister's work... He closed the curtain in boredom, and lay down again. - Faintly heard the murmur of the stream behind the house, and the rustling of leaves, he remembered many things.Pillowing his wrist... Seeing that his pajamas and quilt pillow were reflected by the moonlight as white as snow, and the breeze was blowing, he couldn't help crying on the pillow again. At this time, the moon is gone, the water is gone, the sister is gone, and the bamboo shed is gone.None of this is just the lonely sadness in the universe, permeating his immature heart.Said on July 24, 1922, a collection of essays "Superman". )
