chapter 12.

Out of the friendship of this ice cream cone, Xue Youka was no longer angry with him. Cheng Yu let him blow a few mouthfuls of chocolate-flavored hot air with a straight face, then turned away and said, "Okay, okay."

"Then are you still in pain?"

"I'm not you."

"Oh." Xue Youka said after eating, "Then I will go to Zhongshan to find fireflies for you another day, but that will only happen at night... I have to ask my grandpa to send me there."

"No need to go," Cheng Yu said.

"But don't you want to see it?"

"I don't want to think about it now," Cheng Yu pulled a face, as if he was unhappy, "There's nothing interesting to see."

"Although I'm very happy that you didn't let me catch them, I still have to say that if you catch fireflies in the mosquito net when you sleep at night, they will be really beautiful, as dreamy as stars..." Poor vocabulary

, making it impossible for him to describe the feeling in his memory, "I have forgotten many things about my childhood, but one year, I don't remember how old I was, my father suddenly caught me a glass bottle of fireflies and put them in the mosquito net.

I lay on the bed with him and named them one by one."

"It's just that now, there are fewer fireflies, and dad has less time." Xue Youka held her chin, sat on the bed and sighed melancholy, "I didn't catch fireflies for you that day. I was climbing Zhongshan Mountain in my dreams.

Zhong Shan caught a lot of them." He felt that Cheng Yu, who didn't like to laugh, would definitely smile when he saw such beautiful things.

Cheng Yu chatted with him for a while and heard that someone from his family had returned.

Xue Youka looked down: "My grandma is back from playing cards."

"Then it's time for me to go." Cheng Yu stood up.

"I'll take you down." Xue Youka sent him downstairs. When he saw grandma in the front yard, he pulled Cheng Yu out the back door.

There was a piece of land enclosed by the back door where chickens were raised. As soon as the door was opened, Cheng Yu smelled an unspeakable odor that went straight to the Tianling Cap.

The chicken shit on the floor told him the answer.

"Get out of here? I'd better take the main door."

"Wait a minute." Xue Youka opened the door of the henhouse, took out two eggs from the henhouse, rinsed them with water and gave them to him, "I'll give you two eggs, the hens just laid them today, special supply."

Cheng Yu stared at the two eggs with water droplets with complicated eyes, not knowing whether to take them or not.

"Take it! You're welcome." Xue Youka couldn't help but put the egg into his hand, grabbed his wrist and led him to the back door.

Cheng Yu took a deep breath, held his breath, and stood on tiptoes to avoid the chicken droppings on the ground with a livid face.

"If you go here, my grandma won't know you've been here."

"Am I so shameless?"

"That's not true." He knew that with grandma's hospitable character, she would definitely stay with Cheng Yu for dinner, and she would have to prepare a large table of dishes. Xue Youka was reluctant to let grandma work so hard, but he couldn't directly tell her like this.

Cheng Yu said, so he said, "I'm embarrassed to let grandma see you."

"What are you embarrassed about?"

After getting out of the chicken poop circle, Cheng Yu could breathe smoothly.

"I must be sorry..." Xue Youka racked his brains and couldn't think of a good explanation.

As if Cheng Yu had seen through him, he laughed in his heart and stopped asking any more questions.

When we got home, the parrot sneezed. Grandpa was drinking tea. When he saw him coming back, he asked, "Are you looking for the little girl this afternoon?"

"I'll collect the money."

"Really going to collect money?" Grandpa didn't believe it. Cheng Yu had no idea about money. Even if a gold necklace fell on the ground, he wouldn't even bother to bend down to pick it up.

"I didn't receive the money." Not only did he not receive it, but he also gave me an ice cream, "He compensated me with two eggs."

Cheng Yu just came back holding two eggs.

Grandpa looked at the eggs and laughed again. Cheng Yu said he was going upstairs.

Uncle Wei saw him carrying the eggs upstairs, touched his gray hair, and whispered to his grandfather: "Is Xiao Yu in love?"

"It's hard to say. I think, even if he isn't, this kid definitely likes her a little bit."

Uncle Wei found it unbelievable. Young Master Cheng, who had such a high level of ambition, was looked down upon by no one, and had such a bad temper. He actually spent twenty minutes walking to find a little girl to ask for money, and then came back with two eggs——

And brought the eggs back to the room.

"Grandpa." A voice came from upstairs, "Do you have any medicine at home to remove scars?"

"We have to look for it, Xiaoyu, are you injured?"

Cheng Yu said it was a small injury on his leg that he hadn't noticed before and it was nothing serious.

After a while, Cheng Yu asked again: "Grandpa, is there a mosquito net at home?"

"Grandpa, shall we go to Zhongshan during the day tomorrow?"

"Mimi." In the morning, grandma put freshly baked Ma Tong (a local snack) in a basket and "sent it to Grandpa Pi's house."

That is Hupi’s grandfather.

Xue Youka got the advice and happened to have a few comic books to return to Hu Pi, so he went to Pi's house with a basket. He and Hu Pi often borrowed comics from each other, and Xue Youka also had several books at his place.

When we arrived outside the yard of Pi's house, before we even got close, we heard Tiger Pi's ghostly cry and howl.

Being beaten again?

This is simply the norm.

Xue Youka thought about going in and just in time to rescue the tiger skin, but he heard the tiger skin howling: "I didn't steal it! I didn't steal the money!"

"Who stole those twenty yuan? Who else but you? Kneel down!"

Xue Youka peeked in through the crack in the door.

Hupi knelt on the ground and burst into tears: "It's not me, there must be a thief in the house!"

"A thief would enter your mother's room and steal twenty yuan? Why didn't he steal the TV?"

"Electricity, the TV is too big, and the thief is not stupid... I didn't steal it anyway!"

Tiger Skin's mother laughed angrily and whipped her down: "You still don't admit it, do you?"

"Ah, ah, it's really not me, Mom, Mom! Stop fighting!"

"Who else are you?"

"It's... it's... a classmate! They came to my house and watched the cartoon. Maybe they took it?"

"You mean Xue Youka?"

"I don't know, don't hit me, it hurts... I didn't take it anyway!"

"Besides him, who else would come to our house to watch cartoons? He must have stolen the vitamin C last time! How many times have I told you! Stop playing with him! Don't you know his father is gambling outside?

I'll see what you do if you come to borrow money from us in the future!"

"Next time he comes to see you, lock up all the money at home!"

Xue Youka stood outside holding the basket, her whole little face wrinkled in frustration.

He ran away with the basket in his arms and did not go home. He just sat on the river embankment for a while and angrily took a few bites of a hot maton.

He didn't want to look for tiger skin anymore.

What to do with these matons?

Eat it all yourself?

Across the river bank, there was only one house built along the river, which happened to appear in Xue Youka's sight.

He owed Cheng Yu money, and Cheng Yu bought him ice cream. Obviously, two eggs were not enough to pay him back.

But when Xue Youka passed by, he found that no one was at home and his car was not at home. He thought he had gone out to play. Xue Youka vaguely heard the sound of sneezing. He knew it was a parrot.

This time Xue Youka didn't wait too long. When he heard the sound of the car, he stood up.

"Huh?" When Uncle Wei saw him, he turned to look at Cheng Yu. The young master, who had been drowsy in the car just now, was now energetic.

"Uncle, this is fried maton made by my grandma," Xue Youka first explained his purpose, "I brought it here specially for you to try."

"Grandma made it? Did you bring it here specially?" Grandpa once again lamented the simplicity of the people. "You don't mind the trouble. You are so polite! We bought some rambutan today. I will bring some back to your grandma later."

"It's not troublesome. I took a shortcut from the field and walked here in ten minutes." He handed the basket over. Uncle Wei opened the door. Cheng Yu washed his hands and took one to taste.

Xue Youka ate the rambutan that Uncle Wei gave him and asked, "Uncle, have you gone to the city to play?"

"No, it was Cheng Yu who said he wanted to go to Zhong..."

"Uncle Wei." Cheng Yu, who was eating maton, interrupted, "I took him upstairs."

When Xue Youka followed him upstairs, he was still asking: "Where did you go to play? Is it fun?"

"None of your business."

Xue Youka stopped for a moment.

After Cheng Yu finished speaking, he realized that his tone was a bit too much: "I went hiking nearby. What about you, didn't you say you don't want to play with me anymore?"
