take a little man

There was some thin sweat on his smooth forehead, Li Wan took out a handkerchief and wiped it for him.

Brother Chen blushed a little, hid his head for a while, and whispered: "Mother, I will do it myself."

Li Wan pursed her lips and smiled, her skin was getting thinner and thinner.

Brother Chen handed the handkerchief to Li Wan after wiping it. He squatted down and scooped out a portion of the food. After squatting there, he became even smaller. Although his white and tender hands were small, his movements were not slow at all. , Because of helping with housework for a long time, calluses were worn out on the palms.He drooped his eyes patiently, and the afterglow of the setting sun set off his profile softly.

Li Wan felt warm in her heart, but felt that her son's sensibleness made her feel sad.

"Mother just cooked mung bean porridge, which is probably ready to drink. Go and serve it up, and send a bowl to Mingming too. He ran to practice calligraphy just after chopping firewood, and he didn't know how to rest for a while."

Brother Chen nodded obediently.

Their house is a courtyard with two entrances. The house has just been built a few years ago. His uncle got married five years ago and gave birth to twins in the second year. Li Ming is an adopted child of his uncle. He is ten years old this year.Uncle took the children to the south of the Yangtze River, and took the opportunity to have some fun while discussing business. Brother Chen and Li Ming stayed because they wanted to study.

Brother Chen came to Li Ming's room with mung bean soup, and the little fox followed him into the room. Although it was not big, its steps were very light, and it walked quietly. The sun slowly set , its figure is gradually elongated.

When Li Ming heard the movement, he put down the Langhao pen in his hand, "Brother, I'll come."

"It's okay, are you practicing calligraphy again?"

"Ah."

Seeing his brother pick up the big characters and read them, Li Ming was a little embarrassed. His handwriting had also been practiced for a long time, but it was far inferior to his brother's. "It's kind of ugly."

"You are still young, just take your time."

As Brother Chen was talking, he felt his trouser legs being torn. The little fox raised its head and looked at him eagerly. With a little smile, he bent down and hugged the little fox.The little fox is very cruel to outsiders, but he is very obedient in front of Brother Chen. He often looks at people with a pair of watery eyes. Every time he stares at him, Brother Chen feels his heart soften.

Brother Chen at this time never thought that one day the fox in his arms would turn into a human, and wanted to throw him down.

Soon it was time for dinner, there were only three people left in the family, and dinner was relatively simple.Li Wan served an extra bowl for Li Ming, knowing that Brother Chen had a small appetite, so he didn't persuade him.

Brother Chen put down his chopsticks after eating, peeled an egg for the little fox, and asked while feeding it, "Mother, hasn't uncle sent the letter back yet?"

Li Ming also stopped, and looked eagerly at Li Wan, apparently missing his father a little.

Li Wan smiled, "It's only been a few days since they left. When they settle down, they will definitely write back. With your uncle following, there is nothing to worry about."

She said that there was nothing to worry about, but Li Wan was more worried than anyone else, lest the three children would not adapt to the climate in the south of the Yangtze River. This was the first time they had traveled so far, and she always felt uneasy.

Fearing that the two children would be worried, Li Wan whispered a few more words of persuasion, and then asked, "Miss uncle and them?"

Brother Chen responded. He not only missed his uncle, but also his younger siblings. It was the first time they had been separated for such a long time, and Brother Chen was inexplicably depressed.

The little fox glanced at him and let out a cry. Seeing Brother Chen looking over, he nodded his head and opened his mouth, urging him to feed it quickly. Brother Chen fed it again, and it didn't even chew. After swallowing it, his eyes were wet, as if he was very hungry. After eating, he licked Brother Chen's hand, feeling very satisfied.

"Eat slowly."

At night, Brother Chen dreamed again.

It was the same dream again.

In the dream, a little doll in red was leaning against him to sleep. He had fair skin, a small face with no blemishes, a straight nose, and ruddy lips. Although he was still young, he was so beautiful that he was not like a real person. Brother Chen The son's mother, Li Wan, is already a famous beauty, but the little boy is much more beautiful than her.

Brother Chen could even feel his body temperature. He looked very cute when he was asleep, and the breath he exhaled made his chest warm. He even saw himself raising his hand and pinching the tip of the little boy's nose. He rubbed against his chest, and fell into a deep sleep, obviously being pressed very uncomfortable, not only was he lifeless, but his expression was helpless and doting.

The dream is so real.

When Brother Chen woke up from the dream, he realized that the little fox had pressed on him again at some point, no wonder it was difficult to breathe.He raised his hand to run along the little fox's back, picked it up, and was about to put it aside, but the little fox opened his eyes.

Its eyes were originally brown, but now they were glowing red, which was inexplicably weird.

Brother Chen rubbed his eyes, a trace of doubt flashed in his big obsidian eyes, he subconsciously sat up straight, his palm-sized face was filled with surprise, and when he looked again, the little fox's eyes had returned to normal.

Brother Chen rubbed his eyes again, they were still brown, thinking that his eyes were dazzled, Brother Chen heaved a sigh of relief, seeing that it was still early, he lay down again.

The little fox flicked its tail, and the fiery red tail wrapped around Brother Chen's wrist. It rubbed against Brother Chen, changed into a more comfortable position, leaned against Brother Chen and closed its eyes again.

Brother Chen yawned, and hugged the little fox into his arms. Its body was warm in winter and cool in summer, as if it could self-regulate its temperature. It was very comfortable to hold, and Brother Chen soon fell asleep again.

When he woke up again, Brother Chen was also awakened by the pressure, and found that the sky had already faintly brightened, so he sat up and poked the little fox's stomach, "Why did you run on me again?"

The little fox innocently opened his eyes, his sleepy eyes were so cute, brother Chen couldn't help rubbing its head, and swallowed the reproach that came to his lips.

The little fox shook his little head, rubbed against him, and laid his little paws limply on Brother Chen's body.Brother Chen's heart was softened by it, and a smile flashed in his eyes. He rarely smiled on weekdays, and the dimples on his face were particularly conspicuous when he smiled.

"Get up."

After eating the court food, Brother Chen and Li Ming went to the school with their small cloth pockets on their backs.

The school is at the east end of the village. Since the entire Zhuxi Village is not very big, it took only a few steps to get there. They came early, and the master hadn't arrived yet.

The chatter in the classroom is full of voices.

Li Lin came with Wang Rui, and when he saw Brother Chen, he ran over, "Brother Chen, I know why your grandma wandered outside our village. I heard from my mother last night that someone wants to give you Dad said dear."

Brother Chen was stunned for a while, but didn't react for a while.

"You don't know about this, do you? I heard that your father has already nodded. She must have come to Zhuxi Village because your father is getting married."

Li Lin scratched his head, "Hey, no, even if your father wants to get married, what does it have to do with you? Aunt Wan has reconciled with your father long ago! Could it be that she wants to treat you to a wedding bar?"

Wang Rui knocked Li Lin on the head.

"Ouch! It hurts! Brother! What are you doing?!"

Wang Rui glared at him, "Brother Chen, don't listen to his nonsense, he hasn't written a word yet."

Li Lin replied unconvinced, "Who said there is no one? There are two, and Brother Chen's father agrees."

Wang Rui: "..."

"Brother Chen..."

Seeing Wang Rui's cautious expression, Brother Chen smiled, "I'm fine, he will get married again sooner or later."

"That's right, brother, you just love to worry about it. Brother Chen has already entered the family tree of the Li family. Even if he wants to get married, it doesn't matter. Anyway, brother Chen won't live with him."

Just as he was talking, someone suddenly yelled that the master is coming, and the noisy school immediately fell silent.

For the next two days, Brother Chen didn't go to the back mountain. It wasn't because he was afraid of Mrs. Zhao. The former Mrs. Zhao was really strong in combat, otherwise she wouldn't have forced Chen's parents to reconcile.Now Mrs. Zhao is terrified of Brother Chen's uncle and uncle, and they will make money again, so it's too late for her to fawn on her, so how can they cause trouble?

Brother Chen just doesn't want to see her flattery, every time he sees her, it's like swallowing a fly.I thought it would be fine if I avoided it for two days, but Brother Chen underestimated her determination.

This afternoon, he found that the firewood at home was almost used up, so Brother Chen planned to go to the back mountain.

After Li Ming saw it, he quickly chased after him, "Brother, I'll go."

As he said that, he carried the bamboo basket on his back. He was a little man, his body was much stronger than Brother Chen's. He was obviously two years younger than Brother Chen, but his size faintly surpassed him.

In this world, there are men and women. Men are called men. In addition, there is a special existence called Xiaogeer. Xiaogeer can impregnate women. He also has pregnancy moles and can conceive and give birth to children. Their bodies are not as strong as men, which is why Li Ming is taller than Brother Chen even though he is young.

Clearly unable to convince him, Brother Chen didn't continue to argue, "Let's go together."

There was a lot of firewood on the mountain, and it didn't take long for the two of them to fill up the bamboo baskets. Brother Chen also took a rope, stopped and walked, and tied up a bunch after a while, and Li Ming grabbed a heavy one.

Brother Chen was a little funny, "I am the elder brother."

Li Ming rubbed the tip of his nose and smiled shyly, "I'm the little guy."

The little fox got impatient and stretched out his paws to grab Brother Chen's trouser legs.

Brother Chen had a little smile in his eyes, and hooked its fiery red tail with the tip of his toe, "Let's go, tell me if you're tired, let's change."

Li Ming replied seriously, "Brother, if this is exhausting, father Yun will definitely train me to death when he comes back. Shengcheng and the others will also laugh at me
