like a sunny day

Gu Chengze's previous life cannot be summed up in words good or bad.

Before he lost his father, his family definitely surpassed the well-off level. When his biological father was an official of the city government, like most children from rich families, he studied in expensive private kindergartens and was picked up by his family's driver.

His parents have a good relationship because of free love.Although his grandparents disliked Ms. Tang Man very much, saying that her small family has no education and knowledge, and once it flies to a branch, a sparrow is a sparrow, and even feathers on its tail can't turn it into a phoenix.In addition, Gu Chengze looks more like his mother, so grandparents don't even like him.

Their Gu family also has a caring elder son, and the elder son also has a pair of well-behaved and beautiful twin sons. Who remembers the product of his parents' strong opposition and resolute union?If they don't live together, they naturally have cold feelings. Since childhood, Gu Chengze has been closer to the relatives of Ms. Tang Man's natal family.

His grandmother is a lively old man who strives for dignity in doing things and doing things. She is short and dry, and her silver-white hair is combed meticulously, and she will be fixed behind her head with delicate hairpins.Although she felt sorry for her daughter not being seen in her husband's house, she never agreed with her daughter living in her mother's house, saying that people in the village should gossip, and that people only live their lives to earn a reputation.

Gu Chengze didn't feel much about that sentence when he was a child, he only remembered the touch of the old man's dry and rough palm rubbing his face.

Ms. Tang Man is a carefree woman with a childlike temper in her late thirties. The first time she brought five-year-old Gu Chengze to meet He Chengfeng, she introduced a sentence: "He is your mother's brother's son!" After finishing speaking, I thought about it, what should be called what kind of seniority.

"How old is Cheng Cheng?" It was He Chengfeng's mother who asked.

"I'm almost eight years old this year! I'm taller than him, and I'm an older brother!" It was He Chengfeng who interrupted Gu Chengze's answer. That kid's eyes were especially dark, and he was playing with the Transformers that Tang Man gave him.

Boys basically will not reject Transformers.

Gu Chengze blinked his eyes, opened his small mouth, and called out "Brother" obediently.

The adults all laughed in his voice, having a great time.

Gu Chengze's father personally sent the two of them to his mother-in-law's house and planned to leave. That was also the first and last time He Chengfeng saw Gu Chengze's father.

He Chengfeng watched the car drive coquettishly and said to his mother: "Mom, I will treat Chengcheng well in the future."

His mother was a little surprised to see why He Chengfeng said this suddenly.

"Chengcheng's father's car doesn't even have a lid, it's so miserable."

"...Son, that's called a convertible."

They stood watching the tail of the team, and Gu Chengze was standing in front of them holding Tang Man's leg, and he didn't know if he heard it.

The strange thing is that among so many children from neighbors in the village who came to play, only He Chengfeng was able to play with Gu Chengze in the end.

Either the child from my cousin's family broke his knee and bleeds today, or the child from my aunt's family broke Gu Chengze's things tomorrow. Adults are concerned about Gu Chengze's status, and feel that he can't play with his feelings because of his living standard; besides, there are always children in rural areas who can't finish During the summer vacation, the peanuts in the field should be harvested, otherwise a heavy rain and high temperature will soak the peanuts to sprout.

When Gu Chengze was five years old, he read picture books very consciously every morning. He opened his voice childishly to look at the pictures and tell stories. After flipping through a book, it was time for snacks. Then he played with He Chengfeng in the yard for half an hour, and then read English with cards and a tape recorder. At this time, Ms. Tang Man would show up and teach him patiently for half an hour every day.

After lunch time, Gu Chengze took a nap for an hour and woke up to learn arithmetic.

He Chengfeng really did "be nice to Chengcheng."

Every evening, He Chengfeng came back from the field, washed himself clean, and went to play with the clean little Chengcheng, and the two said goodbye at dinner time.Although Chengze's grandma occasionally took He Chengfeng to eat, but probably the adults had told him not to eat at other people's homes, so He Chengfeng politely refused every time.

A child's "good for you" may be another expression of "I will play with you".I think this is full of philosophical meaning.Human beings must have the spirit of entertainment, even Lao She said, "Life is a joke, and everything is like this", which shows how important it is to have a playmate and understand the spirit of "play".And the child's reluctant farewell probably can't miss the adult's "it's been a long time, people have changed", but he said "I will come to play with you tomorrow", and the other replied "Okay, I will wait for you tomorrow." .”

Thinking about it now, these simple and innocent promises are more convincing than any earth-shattering ones, because Gu Chengze really waited until six o'clock in the evening one day.

He sat on a small stone chair in the yard and patiently helped grandma water the flowers and plants two or three times, not knowing how many times he raised his head to look at the sky.

Grandma said: "Chengfeng probably won't come, it's going to be dark soon."

"He said he will come." Gu Chengze lowered his head and said in a muffled voice.

"Three-year-old is big--after Chengcheng, he will be a stubborn child who will not look back after hitting the west wall." Grandma sighed, and walked slowly to the kitchen to serve fruit after dinner.

Gu Chengze glanced at the impenetrable courtyard surrounded by walls, and he suddenly thought that he had been visiting his grandmother's house for so long and hadn't gone to the village to see it.That time, he sat in his father's car without opening the hood on the way here, and he was not as high as the car window, so he couldn't see the scenery of the village.

He jumped out of the chair, but never dared to lift his legs and run.

He went to the kitchen door and shouted to his grandmother: "I'm going to my brother's house!" He ran away without waiting for the consent.

When grandma chases out tremblingly with "Ouch, ancestor!", where is Gu Chengze's shadow?

"The wolf cub is skinny." Grandma pulled her legs forward step by step.She closed the courtyard door, and Tang Man hadn't come home at this time, so she asked her Lu Chi to find someone to point out and make trouble.It's not that she's worried about her little grandson being taken away, the village here is simple and honest.So grandma put on reading glasses to look through the phone book, and called He Chengfeng's home.

For the first time, Gu Chengze left the confines of his grandmother's house alone and walked in an unfamiliar place.The village is a densely packed house with uniform white walls and black tiles, facing south, as neat as copy and paste.At this point, everyone was still harvesting in the fields, or eating at home. Occasionally, a few peasants with hoes and cows passed by on the road, and they also looked at him curiously.Such a beautiful and exquisite porcelain doll has never been seen in the village.

Being stared at like that, Gu Chengze suddenly felt a fear in his heart, he ran a few steps quickly, recalling the route He Chengfeng had told him before: "Come out from the back door of your yard, turn right, walk 50 meters and you will see A dead old pine tree - I heard that someone hanged there before - don't be afraid, Brother Don't be afraid to hold you. Go further, there is a jasmine bush on the left, and behind that wall is my home! How is it, is it near?"

Gu Chengze stopped, thinking: "How can I see any pine trees? Could it be that I ran too fast and missed it? Or is the direction wrong?" He wanted to ask for directions, but everyone looked at them with malicious eyes, and felt that they were All bad guys.

As soon as he was about to turn around, he felt something wet and fluffy against his calf.He was frozen in place, and goosebumps spread rapidly all over his body. He felt that his hair was going to stand on end, but he couldn't lift the leg that was rubbed.

When he summoned up the courage and strength to lower his head and open his eyes, he was so frightened that he sat down on the ground: a brown puppy-like animal with no hair was sniffing him.

Gu Chengze forgot to cry, and after soiling his clean pants on the ground, he ran quickly.

The little Shar-Pei dog saw that his "appointed" master had run away, and thought he was just playing with him, so he spread his four short legs and happily chased after him, barking.This barking was unbelievable, and the local dogs in the village responded in unison, barking into a barking ensemble.

While running with tears in his eyes, Gu Chengze heard a familiar "Chengcheng."

It was He Chengfeng's voice, and his heart fell from the clouds to his chest.

"Brother! Dog! There's a dog chasing me!" Gu Chengze rushed towards He Chengfeng despite the fact that He Chengfeng was covered in mud and sweat.The Shar Pei stopped there, wagging its tail and sticking out its tongue, with a charming face.

He Chengfeng and his mother went to work in the field, and naturally missed the call from Gu Chengze's grandma.Mother He put a hoe on her shoulder and explained a few words before going home to cook.

When Grandma Gu received the news that Gu Chengze was going to sleep at He Chengfeng's house tonight, the old lady's worries almost dried up.I had no choice but to say a few words "Chengcheng must be good, don't make trouble" and hung up the phone.

Ms. Tang Man didn't see her son when she got home, so she asked where he was going, and took a shower with peace of mind.

This mother is too "hands-off big shopkeeper", and Grandma Gu worried about her grandson's future.

It is said that this little sharpie was smoking its wet black nose, and was trying to distinguish the smell of the two people in front of it. It was choked by the smell of sweat on He Chengfeng's body and took a few steps away. It tentatively touched Gu Chengze's leg, and responded Its a retreat of fear.

He Chengfeng smiled and said: "This little bastard likes you." After speaking, he squatted down and boldly touched the Shar Pei, his eyes shining.
