Mint-Stained Shirt

Ming Shu became a grandfather at a very young age.

Cheng Yue and the others are not young, they will be promoted to the sixth grade after the summer vacation, they are still children in the eyes of adults, but they don’t think so. After watching the rented DVDs, they all learn from the movies, either to be a big brother or to be a master , Self-proclaimed "your grandpa" did a lot of things.

Xiao Yu'an didn't say "you, Grandpa Xiao", but he was the squad leader anyway, and when a younger brother in his class called him Master Xiao, he reluctantly responded.

Mingshu has never seen those quack movies, and when Cheng Yue called him Grandpa, he quickly waved his hands, "I'm not Grandpa, you called me wrong!"

With this group of 11-year-old boys, his voice was soft enough to make one laugh.Cheng Yue immediately slapped his thighs with laughter, "Oh, come on, be good! What kind of kid is this?"

Mingshu wants to play with others, but after all, he is used to being alone, and he is still afraid when suddenly surrounded by a group of people.

I am afraid to find my brother.

The elder brother was right next to him, stretching out his hand to circle him and put his hand on his chest.He turned his head and glanced at his brother, and his heart immediately went back.

Cheng Yue squatted down to tease Mingshu, and said deliberately, "Grandpa."

He is quite tall, with dark skin, and he shaved his hair during the summer vacation, and now he has a layer of green stubble, which looks like a bad guy against his fierce facial features.

Ming Shu quickly shrank back, his back was against his brother, his hand was still holding his brother's fingers, his chest shook slightly.

Xiao Yu'an felt that he was about to groan or hum again.

"It's not my little grandpa." Mingshu didn't even notice that his brother's hands were red, and he retorted in a low voice: "I'm not my little grandpa."

Cheng Yue was addicted, "Isn't that little grandpa? Little baby?"

Mingshu often heard his uncles and aunts calling other children "Baby" in kindergarten. "Baby" is a very precious name. His parents never called him that.

He understood ignorantly that he was not a baby.

When he was called baby, he was surprised and ashamed, and immediately lowered his head, "I'm not a baby either."

"Ah? It's not a little grandpa, and it's not a baby, so what are you?"

"I..." Mingshu's voice became even softer, "It's not a baby anyway."

Xiao Yu'an noticed something was wrong just now, when he said that he was not a grandpa, Mingshu was just a little shy, but when he said that he was not a baby, Mingshu became wilted, that's how children feel when they are sad.

For a while, he couldn't think of how this word made Mingshu sad, but if Cheng Yue continued to tease him, he might make the child cry.

"Okay." He took Mingshu for a while, and directly pushed him behind him, "What do you care about people, is it endless?"

"Isn't this just for fun?" Cheng Yue stood up with a playful smile, "I didn't tease you when I teased the little one. Why are you so nervous? Your little one?"

Xiao Yu'an heard Ming Shu whine.I thought that children are troublesome, and I don't know what to say all day.

"Yes, it belongs to my family."

The tail at the back stopped whining, and changed a syllable—"Huh?"

"I knew it belonged to your family." Cheng Yue smiled brightly, and said tongue-in-cheek to Mingshu, "I peeled the edamame for you, if it's not yours, can it be mine?"

The setting sun burned the whole sky red, and the teenagers walked along the boulevard noisy and went home.

It's been a long time since Xiao Yuan held hands with anyone. The last time his mother came to pick the four of them out to play and wanted to hold him, he refused to let him, saying how old he was and still holding hands.

His mother laughed at him for pretending to be mature, and forcibly pulled Xiao Jincheng.

At this moment, he led Mingshu for a long walk.

Mingshu didn't know if he was scared or what, he was preoccupied, otherwise he wouldn't be bothered to hold her.On such a hot day, everyone's hands are sweaty, and it is uncomfortable to stick together.

The houses in the compound are next to each other, and they are divided into areas. The Xiao family and the Ming family are in one area, and Cheng Yue is in another area.Every time they passed a small path, there were fewer people, and in the end only Xiao Yu'an, Xiao Muting and Ming Shu were left.

Xiao Yu'an sent Ming Shu to the door of Ming's house, and when he let go, he felt that Ming Shu had grabbed his fingers, and the reluctance was obvious.Usually he sent Mingshu back. Mingshu has always been clingy, but not like today.It seems that since hearing about the little baby, Mingshu has something on his mind.

"Go back." Xiao Yuan raised his chin in the yard.

Mingshu dawdled for a while, "Brother, I'm not a baby."

"Ok?"

"I'm not baby."

Xiao Yu'an could hear the depression in Mingshu's tone, but he couldn't understand where this word hurt Mingshu.But now is not the time to ask, Xiao Muting called him from the front, saying that dinner will be served soon, Grandpa Mingshu also walked from the house to the yard and looked outside.

"Go back to eat first." Xiao Yuan rubbed Mingshu's head.

Mingshu turned his head and saw his grandfather, then nodded with his head bowed.

Xiao Yuan caught up with Xiao Muting, Xiao Muting still laughed at him about Maodou, when he turned the corner he subconsciously glanced in the direction of Ming's house, Ming Shu was no longer standing at the door.

There was a slanting sunset over there, dazzlingly bright.

The sports meet is about to start, and Xiao Yu'an doesn't have time to ponder over the thoughts in Ming Shu's mind. He practices badminton with Xiao Muting at night and track and field during the day, and there is always not enough time.

Mingshu came again in the morning, lying on his bed to do handwork, and the paper gun was about to be finished.

"Are you going to watch the sports meeting tomorrow?" Xiao Yuan came back from outside with a body full of heat, took a quick shower, went upstairs with two mint ice creams, and gave one to Ming Shu.

Recently, he likes to eat mint ice, and he doesn't think the taste is too strong.

Of course Mingshu wants to go.He still wanted to participate in the competition, but he could not participate until he was in elementary school.

"Brother, let me cheer for you."

Xiao Yuan sat back on the chair, with one hand on the back of the chair.

His house used to be very tidy, but since Mingshu came here, it has become a mess everywhere, and Mingshu's gadgets are thrown everywhere.Just the chair he was sitting on had a black cat sheriff posted on it.It was posted by Mingshu. Children who post things indiscriminately in their own homes will be accused, so they come to him to destroy, and exchanged several cards with Xiao Jincheng.

Mingshu blinked and asked him, "Brother, can I post one?"

He wanted to say no, but he didn't say it in the end.

Isn't it just a few stickers?What's wrong with stickers?

Mingshu is a good boy, he only posted one if he said one, and the more ones were stored in his drawer.

"How do you cheer?" Xiao Yuan asked.

He asked casually, but Mingshu began to think honestly.

The cheerleaders on TV are all cheerleaders, they have uniform clothes, and they hold things like large shuttlecocks in their hands, which are colorful.Mingshu glanced at his gun, which was also colorful.

"Brother, I'll take the gun with me."

It was the first time Xiao Yu'an heard of using a gun to refuel. Imagine the scene, and found it interesting. Last year, someone stabbed Monkey King. This year, it's not impossible for Mingshu to stab a gun.

Xiao Yu'an asked, "Is the gun ready?"

The gun should have been ready a long time ago, but Mingshu procrastinated on purpose. After thinking for a long time, he raised his head and said, "Brother, I can finish it tonight."

The child's eyes were serious, but Xiao Yu'an saw that the boss was reluctant, so he laughed: "Okay, then I'll wait for you to cheer me on."

Mingshu didn't fall asleep at night, and got up in the middle of the night to touch the paper gun with the last piece of colored paper on it. It was very beautiful, even better than Xiao Jincheng's shell gun.

There is an activity center in the compound, where the sports meeting is held. It used to be only open for half a day. This year, an entrance ceremony was added in a decent manner, and it was expanded to a full day.

"Hey, look there." Before the 400-meter run, Cheng Yue poked Xiao Yu'an with his elbow and pointed to the stands.

Xiao Yu'an was making preparations, so he didn't bother to care.

"Your baby, you don't even look at it?"

Only then did Xiao Yu'an look towards the stands.Mingshu was quite conspicuous in the crowd, standing in the first row, holding colorful paper guns in his hands, seeing him turn around, he jumped and shouted: "Brother! Brother!"

It's crowded there, and it's no big deal for children to push people.Xiao Yuan glanced to the side again, Xiao Jinlan was next to Mingshu, protecting this little thing.

"What's that thing he's holding? A gun?" Cheng Yue said, "It's rare, and this can be taken out too. If you want to win the race, will the gun be given to you?"

Xiao Yu'an said: "What to give. Then his own."

The starting gun rang, and except for the two who fell at the starting line, all the others rushed out with a whoosh.At first Xiao Yu'an fell behind Cheng Yue and the other person, a little distance from the first and second.

Mingshu was impatient when he saw it, how could his brother lose?

The shouts from the stands were loud, and Mingshu also waved his gun and shouted vigorously: "Brother, run!" But he didn't have such a loud voice, and he couldn't shout out when he was in a hurry.

Xiao Jinlan stopped participating in the sports meeting after entering junior high school. There is a generation gap between junior high school students and elementary school students. She looks at the three brothers Xiao Yuan just like Xiao Yuan looks at Mingshu.

Mingshu was so anxious, she couldn't hold back her joy, "Brother, it's Yu'an who ran away, why are you so anxious?"

Mingshu was dying of anxiety, "My voice is too low, my brother can't hear me, and I can't run fast. I promised to cheer for my brother."

Xiao Jinlan coaxed, "Brother can hear, brother has a good ear."

"Can't brother run fast?"

"Because my brother is stupid."

Xiao Yu'an didn't know that his sister said bad things about him, and he didn't know that Mingshu was in such a hurry. He was not really behind, but he just took a leisurely start. After 200 meters, he started to exert strength, gradually surpassed the second, and was about to pass the process.

Seeing his brother catching up, Mingshu quickly said, "Brother is not stupid, come on!"

Xiao Yu'an rushed past the stands, and heard that brother is not stupid.When he hit the line, he passed the process in a thrilling manner, and when he turned around panting, he saw a short man running towards him at a glance.

It is Mingshu.

Seeing Mingshu, he remembered the sound that he brushed past his ear just now, brother is not stupid, who else would cheer so much except this little thing?

"Brother!" Mingshu was as happy as if he had won first place, "Brother No.1!"

The paper gun was too big, and Ming Shu couldn't throw it into Xiao Yu'an's arms while holding the gun. He changed positions awkwardly, but no matter how he changed it, it didn't feel right.Xiao Yu'an was sweating all over, and he hated physical contact, but seeing Ming Shu turning around for a long time, his heart suddenly softened, and he picked him up.

"Oh!" Mingshu was startled, "Brother?"
