Ant Paradise

It wasn't until he picked up the bowls and chopsticks, and the dishes jingled, that he woke up from the dream.He Shili sat at both ends of the sofa, watching the Spring Festival Gala, watching the people bouncing around, singing and dancing on the TV, as if he was very happy, but he couldn't figure out what is worth being happy on this New Year's day.But I still eat, watch TV, sleep, and today I was told by Mrs. Tang for no reason, I just feel that it is not as usual.

Shi Li laughed out loud when he saw something, and he also poked his mouth up to pretend to be happy.

When it was almost twelve o'clock, Yu Ming took the two of them to the door of the house to set off cannons, and Tang Sui leaned against the door to watch.Shi Li was taken aback by the sound of the cannon. This year's Gaosheng was somehow particularly loud. Yu Ming told him to light it first. "It's not lit yet, go and go again." Yu Ming first hugged Shi Li, who was hiding behind, to the front of the cannon, held his hand and lit it, and it finally burned, with a stabbing sound, Shi Li pursed his mouth and covered it He raised his ears and squinted his eyes half-closed. He didn't really like doing this, and not every child likes to watch fireworks.

Later, he asked Shi Le to let it go, but he was not afraid, he unhurriedly lit a string of firecrackers, played with many fairy wands, and swung his arms to draw circles with the light of the burning fairy wands.Only then did he realize that although he usually does the same things as before, he doesn't know how to set off cannons, and he only does it during Chinese New Year and holidays.

He still likes to listen to the sound of cannons that deafen people's ears. In these few minutes, people can think about nothing and forget all their troubles. Except for the voice in their own hearts, they can't hear a word of other people's words.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, a family who was friends with the Yu family and his wife came to their house to play.A family of three, there is a child who is about the same age as Shi Li, named Huang Jiale, who looks like his father in his eyebrows and eyes, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, but he is too young and has not grown up yet, and he looks childish.He and Shi Li are rare companions of the same age, they play very well, and they don't come to Yu's house once or twice. Shi Li showed him every room, except for Shi Le's room, and he only said that his younger brother lived in it when passing by. Said he didn't like meeting strangers very much.

Every time Jiale came here, he couldn't help but take a look at the room he had never been to. He was very curious about Shi Li's younger brother, but his family didn't like to mention this younger brother, so he had no choice but to suppress his curiosity. Next, just always thinking that maybe there is a chance to meet Shi Li's younger brother.

Coincidentally, Tian Shile went to the kitchen to visit his grandmother making all kinds of buns and pastries. The door was not closed tightly, and a gap was exposed. When Li was talking, he quietly walked to the door of Shile's room, and knocked on the door, but no one answered. He just stood aside and looked at the small room through the open door.

Shile has a set of autumn and winter school uniforms that just hang on the wall next to the window, and there is his name tag on it, which says Class [-], Grade [-], Qu Shile.He meditated on the name for a while, and when he heard the adults call him, he thought about it and agreed to go out.After Shi Le finished watching his grandmother stuff the bean paste into the cake, he also ate a carp-like glutinous rice snack and prepared to go back to feed the ants with the crumbs of the sweets.He heard the sound of the piano and knew that Yuemo was gathered upstairs to listen to Shi Li playing the piano, so he opened the window and prepared to climb down.During the past two days of Chinese New Year, he kept forgetting to bring the ants into the room, and just hid them in a bush under his window.

Before he could step out, he heard someone ask, "What are you doing?" He was startled, and he swayed twice on the window sill. He couldn't sit still and almost fell, feeling that someone was holding him up. As soon as he gave him a hand, he sat astride the window sill.Turning his head, he saw a boy about his own age, with slightly thick eyebrows and a somewhat fierce appearance. Shi Le was flustered, but he still said thank you in a low voice.

"It's okay, it's okay." Jiale waved his hands, his voice was very hearty, and after holding Shile steady, he asked him again, "What are you doing?" "I'm going to feed the ants." Shile simply crawled Go back to your room, lean against the window and talk to Jiale. "Where are there ants?" Jiale looked at the ground, the concrete floor was empty, "I'm afraid he was trampled to death by me?" He quickly raised his foot, but he didn't see any ants.

He looked back at Shile, he was smiling, with a dimple on his right cheek, and a white face, like a small animal, very obedient.Jiale was a little silly, holding the window sill with both hands, "Where are the ants?" Shile pointed to the bottom of the bush, and Jiale took out a big box from under the bush, as if he had dug a treasure, and was pleasantly surprised, "Hide them here ?"

Shile nodded, leaned out to take the box from Jiale, and threw the prepared crumbs into the feed hole.Both of them watched these ants carrying food as if they were treasures. After watching for a while, Jiale said, "You are Shili's younger brother, and your name is Qu Shile?" Those ants, especially his little red ants.
