He was about to go out to pee last night, but unexpectedly he heard his sister and uncle's words. This made him forget to even pee.
Nian'er doesn't want to wet the bed. No.
None of them are good people. They all hid it from Nian'er and didn't let Nian'er know. Humph.
My parents, sister, and uncle all hid it from Nian'er. They didn't like Nian'er anymore. My sister also said that she wanted a younger brother.
Is Nian'er naughty and disobedient?
Nian'er doesn't want to wet the bed. It wants to pee on its own, not that Nian'er wants to pee.
Huo Nian ran out secretly, not daring to run far, so he squatted in a shadow by the corner of the school, hugging his knees, burying his head and crying quietly.
Is it because they don't like Nian'er anymore, so they want to find a younger brother?
My parents, sister, and uncle are all bad people. Nian'er doesn't like them anymore.
Zhang Fu came to Mochou Lake again, got off the sedan chair again, and walked slowly to the entrance of Boya Book School.
Even he himself doesn't know why.
The people on the road glanced at him hastily and lowered their heads, but they couldn't help but look at him secretly and did not dare to get close to him. Since ancient times, people have been afraid of officials, and ordinary people have never dared to look directly at officials.
Zhang Fu was used to it. He strolled to the door of Boya Book School and looked up. The door was half open, and the old man guarding the door was leaning on a chair and dozing off.
Zhang Fu looked inside again and heard the loud sound of books. Just as he was about to move away, he heard faint crying.
The warrior was sensitive to small sounds, so Zhang Fu walked over in search of the sound.
I couldn't help but laugh.
It's this kid again.
He secretly dodged and dropped the golden beans.
Zhang Fu walked gently towards Huo Nian with a smile on his face, and slowly squatted down in front of him. He asked softly: "Why are you crying again? Did your parents abandon you and leave the capital again?
?”
Huo Nian cried so hard that his face was filled with tears. He raised his big, round eyes that looked like they had been washed by water and looked at him.
He was quickly recognized: "Uncle in patchwork uniform."
After saying that, he breathed a sigh of relief, slid his little body against the wall and sat down, stretching his two calves forward.
Zhang Fu smiled: "Are your legs numb from squatting?"
Huo Nian nodded blankly to him, lowered his head, and the two drops of golden beans in his eyes slid down his cheeks.
Somewhere in Zhang Fu's heart felt as if someone had gently touched it with a feather.
Raising her hand to his little face, Huo Nian gently wiped it for him. Huo Nian obediently let him wipe his tears, blinking twice, and a few more tears fell from his eyes.
Zhang Fu smiled and wiped it off for him.
I saw him sitting against the wall with his calves spread out. I remembered that he had just said that his legs were numb from squatting, so I pinched his calves with my hands. He had practiced martial arts since he was a child and knew how to relax and relieve tension.
After touching it a few times, my eyes lit up, Huh?
After taking one look at the kid in front of me, I touched up with my other hand. After touching his calves, I touched his two little hands, chest and back, even his skull.
His eyes were bright, this kid has good bones! He is a material for martial arts.
"Uncle, why are you touching Nian'er?" Huo Nian blinked away her tears and let him touch her obediently, with a puzzled look on her face.
Seeing him tilting his head and waiting for his doubts to be clarified, Zhang Fu pinched his little face, which was smooth and tender, just like a child of this age should be.
Not feeling dirty, he lifted his robe and sat down next to him.
"Your name is Nian'er?"
Huo Nian nodded: "My name is Huo Nian. My sister's name is Huo Xi."
When he mentioned his sister, he pursed his lips again. Humph, he was still angry. My sister was a bad person and she hid it from him. She also said she wanted a younger brother. Humph.
Zhang Fu looked at him with a smile: "Huo Nian? My sister's name is Huo Xi? Is it just you and my sister?"
Huo Xi nodded and shook his head: "There is also uncle."
After saying that, he pouted again, his uncle was also a bad person, and he also hid it from Nian'er. Hum.
Zhang Fu understood. There were only two children in this family: he and his sister. Huo Xi, Huo Nian? Zhang Fu chewed the two names in his mouth and remembered them.
Then he asked him with a smile: "How old is Nian'er this year?"
Huo Nian stretched out a small hand: "Nian'er is five years old." He stretched out his other hand and bent two fingers, "Five years old and three months old."
Zhang Fu couldn't help laughing: "Ah, Nian'er is already five years old and three months old."
After laughing, I didn't know what I thought of again, and my eyes were filled with memories.
Seeing the seriousness on the other person's face, Huo Nian tilted his head and asked him: "Uncle, what's wrong with you?"
Zhang Fu came back to his senses: "Uncle, everything is fine. What's wrong with you? You're not in the school, you're hiding here crying alone? Did the teacher scold you?"
Huo Nian shook his head, lowered his head for a long time, then pouted his lips and muttered in a low voice, "My father, mother, sister, and uncle are all bad people."
"Ah?" Zhang Fu was shocked.
Could it be that this child was abducted?
Just as he was about to ask, he heard the child say something else: "They are all hiding it from Nian'er. My sister obviously has a brother, why do she still want a brother? Isn't it bad to have a sister? Do they not like Nian'er anymore?"
"
After saying that, I couldn't help but drop the golden beans.
Zhang Fu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the child in front of him, dumbfounded, "Is your mother pregnant with a little brother? They didn't tell you?"
Huo Nian nodded: "They don't tell Nian'er, parents, sisters, uncle, they are all bad people. Wow..." Thinking of the sad things, he started to drop the golden beans again.
Zhang Fu was a little confused. He had never comforted a crying child. How could he comfort such a young child?
The children in the family were afraid that he would be angry, so they always smiled when they were in front of him, acted coquettishly and had tantrums, but if they cried, they would be punished, so the children in the family did not dare to do so.
The child in front of me was crying sadly, and the reason was so special that it made people...well, I couldn't laugh or cry.
Zhang Fu shook his head and laughed, stretched out his hand and patted his small shoulder: "Don't cry, don't cry..."
Before he finished speaking, the boy threw himself into his arms and burst into tears. While sobbing, he said that his parents, sisters, and uncle were all bad people.
Zhang Fu's hands and feet were stiff. Seeing that the child was really sad, he hugged his whole body, sat in his arms, and comforted him softly.
"...Uncle also has younger brothers at home, two more. Not only do he have younger brothers but also younger sisters. When they were young, they were noisy and uncle didn't like it either..."
Seeing that Huo Nian was comforted by him and listened to him talk about family affairs with curiosity, he continued with a smile.
"When I was a kid, my parents always said that my younger siblings were younger and I didn't like it if the older brother had to let them go. My parents had four candies, and they were all mine originally, but when I gave them to my younger siblings, I just gave them to them.
I can get one. Sometimes I’m not happy... But when we go out to play together, people don’t dare to come up to grab things from me or bully us when they see how many children we have, and I feel pretty good about it.”
Huo Nian blinked and looked at him.
Zhang Fu stroked his head: "Later, I felt that having younger brothers and sisters was not a bad thing. Moreover, they listened to my brother and did whatever I told them to do. How nice. Read
Don’t you want younger siblings? Younger siblings who listen to you?”
Huo Nian pursed his lips.
"Don't want it?"
Huo Nian raised his head and asked him: "Is it because Nian'er is not good that they want another younger brother?"
"No. It's because they feel that Nian'er is too lonely by herself, so they sent Nian'er an obedient younger brother and sister to play with Nian'er."
Nian'er pouted.
"Nian'er doesn't want a younger brother or sister who listens to you and calls you brother after you? Wouldn't it be nice for them to be obedient and listen to Nian'er?"
"Aren't you parents? Sister, uncle, don't you like Nian'er?"
The child felt insecure. Zhang Fu comforted him: "No, our Nian'er is so sensible and cute. Who wouldn't like it? My uncle also likes it."
"Really?"
"Really."
After coaxing him for a long time, he finally made Huo Nian laugh.
Thinking about having a younger brother and sister behind his back who listens to him, it seems pretty good. If he wets the bed in the morning, he would scold him. There was a bit of pride on his face.
Zhang Fu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the child had figured it out.
Looking at him, feeling the little him sitting in my arms, soft, with small hands and feet so thin that he could break them off with just one break. Sitting in his arms now... this feeling is very wonderful.
It's not like he hasn't hugged several children at home.
However, looking at the child in front of him, Zhang Fu felt an unspeakable emotion in his heart for some reason.
"Uncle, why did you touch Nian'er's hands and feet just now?"
