I accompanied the flowers that year

Now there is nothing there, I have no way to take my mother there, so I have to leave my mother at my aunt's house. After all, I am not sure what kind of development I will have over there, and the rented place only has a small room, a The bed can’t accommodate my mother, and I also know that my aunt and the others must not take care of my mother as well as myself, but I was really forced to take my mother over when I was waiting to rent a house. I discussed it with my aunt, and my aunt I don't have any comments, at least up to now, my mother didn't act aggressively at first, and she can eat by herself.

Taotao and the group of children still often appear at home, but the only person I remember is Xiaoyu's name and appearance, and whenever Xiaoyu comes, my eyes are always involuntarily cast there. Xiaoyu's face is white and delicate, like the sky Of course, there are occasional times when the golden boy goes down to earth, but it also has a special flavor, which is very interesting.And Xiaoyu is also the only one in this group of children who is not afraid of my mother. To be precise, my mother has never gone crazy in front of him. I even feel in a trance that he is the savior sent by God to save me from fire and water. Of course, this is just my own comforting rhetoric.

When I have enough money, I need to deal with the affairs over there. I pack up my bedding, bid farewell to my aunt, and want to leave the village and start my journey of working. She didn't even think about what to do if I didn't come back. Someone in the village went to my aunt's ear to chew my tongue the day before I left, just saying that I was unreliable. There will be one more burden, after my aunt heard it, she didn't say anything, but maybe this is the simplicity of my aunt.

Carrying a lot of luggage, when I walked to the entrance of the village, I met Xiaoyu standing at the bridge.

"Uncle, are you going to the city?" Xiao Yu saw me coming, and ran to me quickly, making me feel like he was waiting for me here specially.

I put down the bag I was carrying, bent down and stroked his hair, "That's right, uncle can't stay here all the time, he has to go out to work."

I really like Xiao Yu, not only because he is handsome and handsome, but mainly because Xiao Yu is the most obedient among these children, and he also has the most contact with me. I have a good impression of him.

"Uncle, are there big tigers in the city?" Xiao Yu's eyes were shining brightly.

I was taken aback, big tiger?what?People in the city don't eat people, what's the matter with big tigers?Looking at Xiaoyu's radiant eyes, I immediately realized that he meant a zoo, there should be one in the county, but Xiaoyu hasn't been there?There really isn't one in this city, at least where I went.

I simply explained: "No, the city is a group of people just like here, but the buildings in the city are taller and there are more people." Human feelings are more indifferent, I didn't say this sentence.

"Oh, so..." He looked a little disappointed.

He lowered his head and kept fiddling with his fingers, looking thoughtful. After thinking for a while, he raised his head, "Then can I go with you?" The disappointment on his face suddenly disappeared. The light, in turn, becomes an excitement.

"This..." I was a little embarrassed, this is not good, I am not going to play, I am going to work, so what's the matter with him?Moreover, it is very troublesome to take care of a child. I can't take care of it myself, and I don't have the heart to take care of him. If something happens to him, how can I explain to his family?

"Uncle is going to work, so I can't take you with me." Although I felt that saying this might hurt him, but the fact is that there is nothing I can do.

Xiao Yu's eyes instantly dimmed, and the lost color made me feel a little guilty.

"I..." He bit his lower lip, his voice was trembling, and his volume was getting smaller and smaller, "I'm obedient... Is that okay? I can cook and wash clothes. I won't cause you any trouble if I go , okay... okay?"

I suddenly discovered that these days, children have requests for everything, and sometimes when I am busy, I will refuse, but the one I can't refuse is Xiao Yu, always, there is a kind of reluctance, if I am a woman It can be classified as the overflow of maternal nature, is it possible that there is also paternal instinct?

I don't want to see him sad, although I still want to refuse, but after another thought, I'm just a child, now it's summer vacation, Xiao Yu is very obedient, it shouldn't be a big problem to take him there, he can cook again, maybe Can you help me or something, the kids from the farm are much better than me.At the very least, he can be my companion. It would be boring to be there alone. Considering this, I thought it would be better to take him to see the big city.

"I can take you there," I patted Xiao Yu's shoulder, and Xiao Yu looked at me in disbelief, "but you have to promise to listen to me, can you do it?"

"Yeah, promise, promise, really?" Xiao Yu jumped up happily.

"Of course it's true. Then, do Xiaoyu's parents agree?" This is something I'm more worried about. Normally, it's hard to agree. If your parents don't agree, it's useless to be happy.

"I'll go back and tell my grandma right away, you wait for me." Then he ran.

After all, he is a child, and he can't hold his breath for anything, so I pulled him away, "Wait a minute, I'll go with you."

I threw my luggage on the bridge, and asked a local uncle who was basking in the sun to help me look at my luggage. Xiao Yu was bouncing in front of me to lead me the way, and I was thinking about what words to use to convince his parents. After all, I'm not a salesman, and I don't have that good eloquence, so it's better to make up the words in advance.

I don't know if my brain has degenerated recently, and the speed of operation has slowed down. I have already arrived at Xiao Yu's house, but I haven't thought of a word yet.This is the first time I have come to Xiao Yu's house, and there is still a big gap in my heart. His house is located in the southeast corner of the village. This is the first time I saw such a house, and the door is not the iron aluminum alloy that I usually see. Let’s put it this way, the door cannot be called a door, it is made of wide wooden boards spliced ​​together. On the contrary, it looks like an enlarged version of the small fence built by the farmers to prevent animals from destroying the crops. The wall skin next to the gate has been completely peeled off, and it is a dilapidated scene.

The first room we entered after crossing the threshold is what we call the living room. There is a square table in the middle. There is a mess of everything on the square table, including scissors, medicine bottles, cooking pots, and two pink flowers on a white background. There are ceramic bowls, one of which contains half a bowl of polenta, which is probably left over from drinking in the morning, and the other one has a small chip on the edge, but it is very clean... There are a few square stools beside the square table. Nothing but furniture.
