Proud Gu Mingyu

Just as Gu Mingyu wanted to say it wasn't stealing, Zhou Cheng dragged her back and forth quickly.

Gu Mingyu: "???" Didn't you mean to give money?

Zhou Cheng did not forget to hold the melon while running away. There were dogs barking and men shouting and cursing behind him. Gu Mingyu turned her head and saw a 50-year-old man holding a cane and limping out of the melon. , and finally stayed where he was in resentment because of his inconvenient legs and feet.

Turning around a bush to block the figure of the melon farmer, Gu Mingyu shook off Zhou Cheng's hand, frowned and said, "Why are we running? Didn't you say you want to pay?"

Zhou Cheng scratched his face embarrassingly, motioning Gu Mingyu to look at him.

"Didn't I just remember that I didn't wear clothes?" Zhou Cheng felt that Gu Mingyu was making a big fuss. He and his cousin often went to steal melons and peaches in the countryside. It was no big deal. It was more exciting and fun to be discovered.If it wasn't for fear that Gu Mingyu wouldn't go with him just now, he wouldn't bother to ask for money, "It's so hot outside, let's go back."

It was around 11:[-] in the morning, and the sun was so hot that they were sweating after running for a while. Gu Mingyu's face was flushed from the sun, and her hair was sticky on her forehead. She looked like she was about to suffer from heat stroke.

Gu Mingyu ignored him, rummaged through his pockets and finally let him find a two-yuan note, turned around and walked back while holding it in his hand.

Zhou Cheng was a little annoyed, and shouted behind him: "If you want to go, go by yourself, I won't accompany you, if you get beaten, don't blame me!"

Gu Mingyu didn't even look back, and said coldly, "I didn't expect you to follow."

Zhou Cheng was so angry that his eyes were red, he just felt that he was kind enough to be a donkey, and he turned around to leave, but after thinking about it, he was afraid that Gu Mingyu would be bullied, so he stamped his feet and chased after the melon.

Gu Mingyu had already walked to the meadow, and when she heard the movement, she turned her head to see Zhou Cheng running back again, looking a little surprised, and wanted to say something about reconciliation between the two, but Zhou Cheng said first: "I'm brother, he wants to fight I'm fine." Gu Mingyu immediately didn't want to talk to him.

When they came to the hut with the door open, the lame melon farmer just came out of it, and was taken aback when he saw them. When Gu Mingyu explained his purpose and handed over the money, the melon farmer was very happy and praised them both for being sensible. Good boy, not only did he not accept money, but he also said that he would pick a good melon and give it to them.

Zhou Cheng triumphantly held up the melon in his hand to show the melon farmer, "No need, we have picked it, thank you uncle."

The melon farmer looked at the melon he was holding like a baby in his hand, and was immediately happy. He picked up a big and round watermelon and tapped it twice, "Your melon is not ripe, it must still have a white core inside, this one is very tender. Well, it makes a bang bang sound when you knock it up, and it is also round, so this kind of melon is sweet and well-proportioned."

Zhou Cheng looked at the melon in his hand and the melon picked by the melon farmer, but found no difference between the two, so he puffed up his face and insisted that the one he picked was the best.

The melon farmer smiled and did not refute. He took his two children to the well to fetch water, and said to Gu Mingyu, who had been listening obediently, "The water in this well has been soaked, and the melon will be completely cold. Otherwise, the sun is so strong that the inside of the melon will be cold." It’s all hot, and the taste is much worse.”

Gu Mingyu nodded, and helped the melon farmer carry the bucket filled with well water and melons into the house. The big black dog was sitting by the wall, and a group of puppies were screaming around it for milk. There is a dog hole on the side, and the big black dog got out of the dog hole before.

Zhou Cheng was afraid that the dog would not dare to move while standing at the door, so he passed the melon in his hand to Gu Mingyu from a distance, saying that he wanted to soak it in well water to eat it later.The watermelon needs to be soaked a little longer before it can cool completely, so Gu Mingyu ran over to look at those puppies, the big black dog was very docile with its owner, and even licked Gu Mingyu's hand, making him giggle.Zhou Cheng felt very uncomfortable looking at it. Gu Mingyu was so proud in front of him, let alone smiling, I haven't even called his name after meeting him for so long. He is obviously an older brother, and he has already given way to Gu Mingyu, I don't know Why is he still so cold to him.

Zhou Cheng didn't understand that it was his mentality of wanting to be an elder brother all the time that made Gu Mingyu dislike him.Gu Mingyu's brothers and sisters are all much older than him, and in his eyes, being one year older is nothing, not to mention that his birthday is in January, and Zhou Cheng's is in September, so he is actually only three months older than him.

The big black dog gave birth to seven or eight dogs in this litter, most of them were black and white, and there were also two with brown and white fur, which looked as if they had run out of ink. Couldn't be happier.Then he suddenly found a pup that was much smaller than the other puppies. It had been wandering around the big black dog for a long time without getting any milk. I have no strength, and the cry is so small that I can hardly hear it clearly.

"Uncle, why is this puppy so thin and small? Other dogs are stronger than it. Aren't they born in a litter?" Gu Mingyu stretched his fingers to the puppy's mouth, and the little guy swallowed it with a "owwow". He started sucking on his fingers, obviously hungry.

"Oh, it, the eldest dog in this litter was much smaller than other dogs when it was born, maybe it was too anxious to come out. It always couldn't compete with other puppies when it was feeding, so it was always smaller than other dogs. The dog is getting smaller." The melon farmer glanced at it and said indifferently, he washed the kitchen knife, moved the soaked watermelon to the chopping board, and greeted Gu Mingyu and Zhou Cheng, "Little guys, come and eat melons to relieve the summer heat It's hot."

Zhou Cheng didn't care about being afraid of the dog anymore, he hurried over and picked up his melon from the bucket, "Cut this one first!" He was still thinking about the melon he picked.

Gu Mingyu took out his finger and touched the puppy's head, and washed his hands in the well water before going to the table: "Then it doesn't matter if it keeps getting milk?"

The melon farmer held Zhou Cheng's melon with one hand and skillfully sliced ​​it off, not forgetting to recall Mingyu's words: "It doesn't matter what the little dog is. If he can't get milk, he will starve to death. Dahei will dispose of it."

"Ah?" Gu Mingyu was taken aback, just as the melon was cut open, Zhou Cheng also said "ah" when he saw the flesh of the melon.

Seeing that the melon core was really white with a little yellowish color, it was obviously not ripe, Zhou Cheng glanced at Gu Mingyu, saw the disappointment on his face, felt that he had completely lost the tall image of his elder brother in Gu Mingyu's heart, and all thoughts were lost.

When the melon farmer cut out another red heart and handed it to him to hold and eat, Zhou Cheng didn't even get over his nerves, his mind was full of such a big oolong on the first day of meeting, if Gu Mingyu hated him, he would never What if I stop playing with him?

Zhou Cheng, who has no playmates, really wants to get along with Gu Mingyu. They can play marbles and catch loaches together. He can also share his collection of comic books with Gu Mingyu. If Gu Mingyu wants to play hopscotch, shuttlecock, and rope skipping, he can too. Accompany him, but the happiness in those dreams is out of reach for Zhou Cheng now. He sat on the threshold with a melon in his hand, and started to cry as he thought about it.

Tears fell on the back of his hand, he took a bite of the melon, and wiped his tears while eating. Gu Huaili and Chen Lingling saw this scene when they came over.

"What's wrong with Xiaocheng? Did Mingyu bully you?" Gu Huaili knew that Gu Mingyu had a bad temper, and sometimes what he said and did at a young age could choke people to death. Seeing Zhou Cheng cry, the first time The reaction was that what Mingyu said made her angry.

Zhou Cheng was also only nine years old, and originally he just shed tears silently, but he couldn't bear it when he saw his mother coming, so he rushed over and hugged Chen Lingling's neck, opening his mouth and crying loudly.

Gu Huaili and Chen Lingling looked at each other, helpless and funny, Zhou Cheng cried so hard that he didn't let go of the melon in his hand.

Gu Mingyu was sitting in a chair in a regular manner and eating melons seriously, but suddenly he heard a burst of crying from outside, walked out and saw his father and Aunt Lingling coming, and Zhou Cheng was crying in his mother's arms.Gu Mingyu's face was full of confusion, she didn't quite understand why Zhou Cheng was crying, but seeing him crying out of breath, she howled a few words, "Mingyu don't ignore me", "Don't hate me", "Don't stop playing with me" If it was a class, I had no choice but to go over and pat him on the back, and said to him: "I don't hate you, we will play together in the future."

There is actually a bit of consolation in these words. Gu Mingyu feels that considering the busyness of taking care of Huai Li, it is almost impossible to come out to play on weekends once a year. He has nothing to lose.

Gu Huaili also said: "Yes, Xiao Cheng, don't cry, Mingyu will stay at your house tonight and sleep with you."

"What?!" The two children said in unison, the difference was that Gu Mingyu was full of astonishment, and Zhou Cheng was full of surprise.

Zhou Chenggua stopped eating, stuffed it into Chen Lingling's hand, pulled Gu Huaili's sleeve and danced and asked, "Is what Uncle Gu said true? Mingyu wants to sleep with me?"

"Of course it's true. Uncle Gu is going on a business trip, and he will leave tomorrow morning. Xiao Cheng is older than Mingyu, can you take care of Mingyu for Uncle Gu?" Zhou Cheng didn't agree, he nodded and patted his chest to express that he would take good care of him. Brother Mingyu.

Gu Huaili rubbed the top of Zhou Cheng's head. He was also happy to see that the child liked Mingyu so much. He had a long business trip this time and originally wanted to send Mingyu to his grandfather's house, but Mingyu's grandfather had a complicated relationship. I'm really afraid that Mingyu will be bullied.Zhou Cheng has observed that although this child is playful, he has no bad intentions. Gu Mingyu feels at ease with him and Gu Huaili.

Only then did Gu Mingyu realize that Gu Huaili brought him here to play and wanted to hand him over to someone else, he felt unspeakably uncomfortable, tears almost fell down, but he didn't want to show timidity in front of so many people, so he just bit his lips and tried to bear it.

Chen Lingling is very careful. Gu Huaili often mentioned Mingyu to her. He knew his temper somewhat, so he kept looking at him. Seeing that his eyes were red, he still held back his silence, so he walked over and held him in his arms, gently Pat him on the back.

At first, Gu Mingyu was a little uncomfortable. His mother was a strong woman, and she was always busy making money. The job of educating the children at home was always left to her father, Gu Huaili. Gu Mingyu had never had such a relationship with an older woman when she grew up. touch.Chen Lingling was gentle and beautiful, coaxing him softly, Gu Mingyu only felt an inexplicable warm current in her heart, and she was not so resistant to going to live with Zhou Cheng's house, and even had a little bit of anticipation deep in her heart.

When they left, Gu Mingyu took away the puppy who couldn't eat milk. He was stubborn and no one could persuade him. Gu Huaili was not afraid of losing his temper with a stern face, and he was not like ordinary children. He would cry and make noise when he wanted something, but he would calmly explain the facts to Gu Huaili, from a small life to saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda to not being hungry if I eat it to raising it When he grows up, he can take care of the nursing home and protect the master loyally. Gu Huaili can't say anything to him, so he just nodded in agreement. It can be said that he is very eloquent in debate.

Zhou Cheng saw such a cool brother for the first time, although he was terrified of dogs, but for Gu Mingyu he felt that he could overcome it.On the way back, they even forgot about motion sickness, and the two children leaned head to head excitedly naming the puppy.

"If you want me to say it, it's called Panda."

"Why, pandas are so hard to pronounce."

"You can see that its eyes and ears are black, but its face is white. Isn't it very similar to a panda?"

"Hmm... well, let's call it a panda!"
