farmer and fox

The first time He Xi met Hu Xue was when he was 4 years old. He held his mother's hand and stood at the door to welcome the aunt.

Hu Xue has an oval face, snow-white skin, neatly combed hair, and is wearing a light blue gauze dress. Despite her big belly, she is still unbelievably beautiful, elegant and charming.

From then on, Hu Xue stayed at He Xi's house.

The 4-year-old child has no aesthetics yet, but He Xi at that time just liked to stick to Hu Xue.

He thinks that Aunt Hu smells good, a refreshing floral fragrance; he thinks the little pear dimples on Aunt Hu's smile are very kind; he thinks the cake made by Aunt Hu is delicious, with a thick milky sweet smell .

And Hu Xue naturally took care of him in every possible way, even replacing the busy Liu Ximei, telling He Xi bedtime stories, drawing pictures and playing games with him.He Xi felt that these days were very happy, until four months later, Hu Li was born.

He Xi remembered that Aunt Hu was lying on the hospital bed, holding the little baby, and said weakly, "Let's call him Hu Li. I hope he is as smart and cunning as a fox, and can escape all malicious intentions."

He Xi was very confused at the time, why did he name the child an animal?But before he had time to think about it, his attention was all attracted by the little limp Hu Li.

He still remembers the first time he hugged Hu Li.

At that time, Hu Li was a crying bag, who would cry when he hugged him, and would yell twice if he felt uncomfortable and dissatisfied. He Xi didn't dare to hug him, but he couldn't help it.

Hu Li didn't cry, but in He Xi's arms, he opened his beautiful big eyes, sucked his fingers, and looked at He Xi with a smile.

Hu Xue lay on the side, smiled and said: "Xixi, he likes you, he likes you naturally."

For this reason, He Xi has been proud for a long time, and since then she has often struggled to hug Hu Li.

Later, they moved, and my mother said: We will move to a big house and live with Aunt Hu and my younger brother. This is a gift from Aunt Hu to our family, so you have to take good care of my younger brother.

For a long passage, He Xi only heard the general idea, and the only thing he remembered was to take good care of Hu Li.

Since then, Aunt Hu's health has not been very good, always staying in the hospital, her face is pale, and she is getting thinner and thinner. He Xi feels distressed but can't do anything about it.

At that time, he didn't understand life and death, and he didn't know that some people would really leave forever, and he couldn't find it anywhere.He Xi only remembered that his parents cried very sadly at that time, and he was sad, so he cried too. Hu Li around him didn't know why, so he also cried, and the whole family was very sad.

When he was a little older, like when he was 12 years old, when he entered junior high school, Aunt Hu had been away from them for several years. He got up in the middle of the night to drink water and overheard his parents' conversation.

"Honey, is it true that you won't be found? I'm afraid." That was the voice of my mother.

"No! Hu Xue was very thoughtful. The house was bought in our name. Even if those people could find out about her death, they wouldn't suspect us."

"What about the legacy? Will it be discovered?"

"It's still early, and we'll have to wait until Hu Li becomes an adult, which will be ten years later, and there's no way to find out. Go to sleep, nothing will happen."

It was only then that He Xi realized many abnormal things, such as Aunt Hu's husband who had never been mentioned, her father who never showed up when Hu Li was born, and Aunt Hu who was lonely and had no friends at his house.But this didn't make him feel scared, it only made him feel sorry for Hu Li even more, and felt that he was a bit pitiful.

Hu Xue and Liu Ximei are best friends who grew up together. Hu Xue was promising. She was admitted to university and went abroad after graduation, but she never lived a normal life abroad.

She became the mistress of the boss of the gangster, who was not in a legitimate business. Later, something happened. Seeing that the situation was wrong, Hu Xue took the money and fled back to the country.She originally planned to find a small place to live in peace and stability, but found out that she was pregnant. Just when she decided to keep the child, she was diagnosed with cancer.

The doctor's suggestion was to get rid of the child. Hu Xue didn't care, she was always going to die, so she decided to let the child decide his own destiny. Will he be aborted, or will he fight against death to survive?

Obviously, he chose the latter.

Hu Xue entrusted Hu Li to her only trustworthy best friend. She gave Liu Ximei a villa and sufficient child support, hoping that she could help her raise her children.Of course, she also prepared a huge inheritance for this hard-fated child, which can be enjoyed only when he grows up.

He Xi doesn't know the interests of these adults. He only knows about this cute little brother. He has no mother and father. He has to take care of him and prevent him from being bullied.

Because this is an agreement between him and Aunt Hu, and it is also something he wants to do.

Hu Li was very obedient when he was a child, because he was of mixed race, his pupils were very pale, light blue-green, with big watery eyes, as long as he looked at He Xi for two seconds, He Xi immediately surrendered and responded to his needs .

third grade.

The first thing He Xi does after school every day is to play with Hu Li. He doesn't need to do his homework, his grades can be poor, and it doesn't matter if the teacher punishes him. He must tell stories to Hu Li and play games with him.

And Hu Li is also very well-behaved. He waits for his brother to come home quietly every day. In fact, he is on guard against everyone. He doesn't like to show his emotions at a young age. As long as he is unhappy, He Xi will definitely put down everything in his hands and coax him patiently.

In the fourth grade of elementary school, Hu Li finally entered elementary school.

He Xi hoped for the stars and the moon to wait until the time when he could go to school with Hu Li. Every day he would send Hu Li to the door of the class, and he would not go back to his classroom until the class bell rang. He would show off to his classmates every day: This is my brother, Cute, right!

Over time, he became famous. Everyone knew that He Xi, who was in class two of the fourth year, was a doting brother and a madman, wishing he could hold his brother in his arms every day.

Primary school fifth grade, Hu Li second grade.

At that time, everyone was very curious, and some people found that Hu Li was different, with light blue pupils, light eyelashes, a straight nose, and three-dimensional facial features. It was a good-looking appearance, very popular with girls, but envied by boys.

Hu Li was isolated and targeted out of nowhere, and he felt miserable every day. Someone threw sand into his lunch box, tore up his textbooks, and spat on him.

He didn't want to make He Xi worry, so he kept silent, but the eight-year-old child couldn't hide things, and He Xi cared about him very much, so he soon discovered the clue.

He Xi called him to his side, and asked seriously: "Li Li has been unhappy recently, tell brother, what happened?"

Hu Li closed his mouth and shook his head, refusing to speak.

He Xi sighed, and resorted to her trump card: "It's okay not to say anything, then my brother won't accompany you to and from school in the future, anyway, you can solve your own affairs."

Hu Li was startled, and hastily stretched out his hand to pull his sleeve, shaking his head desperately, with an expression on his face that he was about to cry.

"Then are you going to say it or not?" He Xi pretended to be fierce.

"I said! I said!" Hu Li cried out in fear, "Brother, don't want me!"

The next day, He Xi led a group of senior boys in his class, ran to Hu Li's classroom in a mighty manner, and bullied the person who took the lead in bullying him.

He poured water into their schoolbags, tore up books, cut school uniforms, and bullied them with tit for tat, until he was caught by the teacher, and he still yelled brazenly: "Don't bully my brother, or I'll make you look good!"

As a result, He Xi was criticized by the whole school, punished to write a self-criticism, and beaten up by his father. Hu Li protected his brother the whole time and prevented Uncle He from doing it. My body still hurts.

He was a man, and said, "Dad, let's go! Go fight in the attic, don't be seen by my brother, he's crying so badly."

Dad He couldn't laugh or cry, and finally decided to let him go this time.

When the time came to the graduation season, He Xi was promoted to the sixth grade of elementary school.

The popular composition topic at that time was: My favorite XX, my dream is XX.

Others wrote about my favorite father or mother, or grandparents, grandparents, so why not be different, and wrote "My Favorite Hu Li", which looked like a confession letter, the teacher read it Big, reluctantly gave a few points, for which he was ridiculed for half a semester.

There are also dreams, and everyone else is: scientists, biologists, teachers, policemen... He Xi's topic is: My dream is to protect Hu Li and grow up happily.

The teacher was helpless, and commented on him: Brotherly love is deep, but the sentences are not clear.

He Xi smiled and read the composition with a low score to Hu Li, and finally asked triumphantly, "How do you think my brother's writing is?"

Hu Li always listened carefully, and said to his brother: "It's very well written, and I like you the most, just like my brother."

Later, when He Xi was about to graduate, he couldn't bear Hu Li, and every day he yelled that he would repeat the grade, and was beaten by his mother pulling his trousers.

In the middle of the night, he sneaked up to Hu Li's bed, and whispered to Hu Li, "Li Li, my brother is going to another school for junior high school after graduation, so I can't be with you. My plan to repeat a grade has also failed. Now I can only count on you, take care of me." Study, try to skip a grade!"

"What is skipping a grade?" Hu Li asked crisply with his eyes wide open.

"It's just that your academic performance is very good. In the second grade, after finishing the fourth grade, you can directly advance to the fifth grade. If you work hard, you can go to junior high school with your brother." In fact, He Xi didn't quite understand. Vague, but the last sentence is his central thought, "Li Li, my brother misses you."

Hu Li half understood what he heard, but he was very happy. He pulled the sheet over their heads, and couldn't see each other's faces clearly in the dark. He reached for He Xi's hand in the dark, and finally covered He Xi with his little finger. Yes, whispered in a soft voice: "Okay, I promise my brother, I will skip a grade and go to my brother's school, we will always be together, hang on the hook, and we will not change for 100 years."

After speaking, he let go of his fingers, hugged He Xi's head, and kissed He Xi's face with a "snap".

He Xi smelled the faint fragrance of milk, feeling happy in her heart, pinched his little face, patted his buttocks, and hugged him contentedly and fell asleep.

He Xi really didn't take this promise seriously until he received Hu Li's middle school admission letter at home during the summer vacation of his second year of junior high school.

Hu Li has grown a lot taller, taking advantage of his genes, he has slender limbs and a broad frame.

Now no one laughs at his strange pupil color. Everyone knows that he is a mixed race, and they all admire his appearance, rushing to him and saying they like him, but Hu Li doesn't care about these, he just wants to fulfill the promise he made with his brother.

So instead of wasting time doing extraneous things, he devoted all his attention to his studies. Finally, relying on his talent and hard work, he succeeded in skipping a grade. At the age of 10, he was successfully promoted to junior high school, and went to the same school as his 14-year-old brother.

When he held up the acceptance letter in front of He Xi, and was hugged into his arms by his brother with a surprised face and had a kiss, he felt that everything was worth it.

"My younger brother is really outstanding." He Xi rubbed his hair and smiled happily.

For Hu Li, making his brother happy is more important than anything else.
