Mint-Stained Shirt

Mingshu lay on the table all morning drawing guns, and finally drew a satisfactory one.Grandpa called him to have lunch. He used to go downstairs as soon as he heard it, but this time it took him a long time to go down. After a few bites, he ran upstairs again.

The picture is finished, I will do it in the afternoon, the weather is hot, the shaking head fan is blowing, and the colored paper is blown away.

"Ah——" Mingshu grumbled unhappily, and ran to turn off the shaking head fan. After a while, he was so hot that he was sweating profusely, and his vest and shorts were wet, as if he had slipped out of the water.

But he didn't care about it, he was so focused on making guns, it didn't matter whether it was hot or not.

Xiao Yu'an really got out of the water.

The swimming pool is quite far from home, and the three of them took a few bus stops to get there.In fact, they all have cars at home, and pick-up and drop-off is not a problem, but no one is willing to take the family car for this kind of activity, and they are free to catch the bus.

The swimming pool is right under the sun, without any shelter. It is divided into two pools for adults and children. Xiao Yu'an and Cheng Yue don't like to join in the fun with children, so they plunge into the adult pool. Wait for them while drinking orange soda.

Xiao Yu'an just came back from the seaside, swimming in this kind of pool is really trivial, Cheng Yue was pulled down almost 10 meters by him, unconvinced, he wanted to come again.

Come again, come again, a total of four or five times, the gap is getting bigger and bigger.

Xia Ling, who was watching a play, kicked his feet in the water, "Brother Cheng, you can't swim, you can't swim with me, Brother Xiao!"

Cheng Yue corrected him yesterday and forbade him to say brother, so he can use what he has learned now.Not to mention, Brother Xiao and Brother Cheng sounded domineering, and when he yelled, it sounded like he was on the right track.

Xiao Yu'an also wanted to drink orange juice when he got ashore.As soon as Cheng Yue was teased by Xia Zhong, he turned around and practiced ten more back and forth, without looking back, he shouted: "Brother Xiao, help me get a bottle of mint water."

The freezer is next to the swimming pool, Xiao Yu'an suddenly thought of Mingshu when he took the mint water.In fact, he doesn't like to drink mint-flavored ice water. It's already cold, but when the mint is removed, he can't feel half of his neck.But in a daze, a boy ran over and took the last two bottles of orange soda, leaving half the freezer full of mint water.

Orange soda is the most popular in summer. The boss said, can you wait for a quarter of an hour, and I will get it right away.Xiao Yu'an thought for a while, but what he brought was not iced, and it was boring to drink at room temperature in this weather.

"Then mint water."

Cheng Yue is still swimming, this man just won't admit defeat.Xiao Yu'an sat with Xia Zhong, Xia Zhong had already put on the bracelet, he was white, and the beads looked good on his wrist.

Although he beat Cheng Yue, Xiao Yu'an swam with all his strength. This time, he was so thirsty that he drank a few mouthfuls in a row, which made his throat feel sour, as if his throat was blocked by mint. It was so cool. , but strange uncomfortable.

The last time I gave Mingshu some mint ice, Mingshu was afraid that it would melt, he took a sip from left to right, and gnawed his hand full of sugar water, his throat was irritated, and he still gasped, that was very funny, if he ignored it, Mingshu would get dirty in the end If you don't wear his white shirt, it's ridiculously cute.

After drinking the mint water, Xiao Yu'an went down to compete with Cheng Yue again, this time he deliberately let the sports committee out, so no one could see it.

Playing until evening, Xia Zhong shouted that he was hungry.The three of them told their respective families that they would not go home for dinner, so they were looking forward to this meal.

A boy of this age is half a year old, and the concept of independence has just emerged, which is very strong. It is a very dignified thing to dismiss his parents and go to restaurants with his brothers.

Cheng Yue chose a food stall, and the three of them sat in a lobby with the beer-drinking adults. They didn't rush to catch the closing bus until after 9 o'clock.

Mingshu spent the whole afternoon in the room where the shaking head fan was not turned on, covered in prickly heat, and was still thinking about the unfinished work on the gun.

He was a little sick at dinner time.The mung bean porridge made by grandma has been cold all afternoon. Usually he can eat two bowls with green vegetables, but today he drank half a bowl and put the bowl down.

He was quite tolerant, and didn't say anything when he felt uncomfortable. He just scratched the prickly heat and wanted to finish the gun quickly. He didn't turn on the shaking head fan at night until his grandfather knocked on the door and told him to sleep.

Right now his mind is a little confused, it's hot everywhere, before going to sleep, turn on the shaking head fan to the maximum, and set it in the direction of the bed, to blow back the things that haven't been blown during the day.

The wind was strong, but instead of feeling comfortable, he became more and more uncomfortable.In the middle of the night, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, pushed open the door of his grandfather's bedroom, and whispered, "Grandpa, I feel bad."

Xiao Yuan got up early in the morning, ran around the compound with Xiao Muting in the morning, came back and sat at the desk to make vacation plans.It's already August, half of the summer vacation has passed, and he finished the homework assigned by the school long before he went to his grandfather's house, so there is nothing to do in the second half.But he has a plan in his work, listing the books he will read next and the things he will learn one by one in the notebook.Xiao Jinlan is going to take piano lessons right away, and he also plans to learn an instrument.

When I put down the notebook, I saw a kit containing two bracelets. Xiao Jinlan asked him to give it to Mingshu yesterday. He came back too late, so he had to give it today.

I don't know if the child is still angry or not. If he is angry, the two bracelets should be coaxed.

Mingshu likes to sit in the yard, but Xiao Yuan went there but saw no one, only Mingshu's grandma was there.

"I'm sick." Mingshu's grandma said, "I had a fever in the middle of the night last night, suffered from heat stroke, and got prickly heat all over my body, so I was sent to the hospital."

Heatstroke is very common in summer, but Mingshu is only five years old, and if he is too sick, it will be troublesome if he burns out somewhere.Xiao Yu'an was a little startled, there was a boy in his class whose eardrums were burned because of a fever, and it was inconvenient to do anything.

After asking which hospital it was, Xiao Yu'an rushed to it immediately, and the image of Mingshu looking at him begging for gifts repeatedly appeared in his mind on the way.He has no reason to prepare gifts for Mingshu, and Mingshu's illness has nothing to do with him, but he feels a little guilty.

Such a well-behaved child, who was wronged and fell ill, would feel distressed for anyone.

When he was first sent to the hospital, Mingshu was actually a little happy.It was uncomfortable, but he felt that his mother would come to see him, and asked his grandfather to call his mother.

He didn't know what his mother said, and his grandfather didn't tell him. He waited all morning, but his mother didn't come. In the afternoon, he became discouraged.

"Grandpa." He was on a drip, his eyes were not bright, and he had no strength to speak, "Isn't Mom coming?"

Grandpa told him that his mother was abroad and could not come back.

He felt like crying again.

It's not that grandparents are bad, he fell ill in the middle of the night, grandparents took care of him overnight, and sent him to the hospital at dawn, and grandma made fish soup for him at noon.But he just wanted his mother to be with him.His mother never stayed with him, and he was sick.

"Say...Say..." He wrapped himself in the quilt, trying not to cry, but a small voice still came out.

When Xiao Yu'an came to the ward, he happened to hear Ming Shu talking.He was the only one in the ward, such a small one, huddled on the hospital bed, with the medicine in his hands, pitiful.
