The weather is warm, the sun is clear, the breeze is blowing, and the catkins are flying.
On the bluestone street, there is a cake shop on the roadside that is not too big and has a very ordinary decoration style.
For nearly two hours, the wind chime on the glass door did not ring.
Qingwu and the little cashier yawned nonstop. The location here is not very good. The small city is close to the suburbs. The environment is quiet and charming, but the business is not that developed, so the sale of goods is not as prosperous as in the city center.
"Lingzi, please look at the bar first. I'll go to the back and tell Master Zhang that today's items may not be sold out. Tell him not to rush to make tomorrow's items, lest they pile up and be wasted."
"Sister Ah Wu, just go ahead. The sun is hot now and no one will come out to buy cakes."
Lingzi is petite, a typical Nancheng girl, in her twenties, newly married, and even speaks in a soft voice.
Qingwu smiled, picked up today's account book, and her curved eyebrows narrowed.
Business has become increasingly sluggish recently.
It seems that she has to go into the profession and do some profitable business. Duoduo and Xiaoxiao are both in the second grade, and they have to raise enough money for their tuition fees. The expenses and tuition fees for the two boys look scattered and scattered.
It's not a small amount.
Lingzi reads a book. As a newly married young woman, she is very addicted to romance novels on the Internet. Recently she was reading an article called "President, It Was an Accident to Affair You", which she and Wen followed with great interest. She often talked about this with Qingwu,
Menghulu Qingwu always shakes her head and sighs at her, a guy who doesn't make progress.
Outside the glass showcase, there were two potted plants on the steps. At this time, the green leaves of the potted plants looked a little strange. Reiko looked up from the phone screen and saw that the leaves of the potted plants were moving, but there was no wind around.
Curious, she walked over and opened the glass door.
Take a look.
Behind the potted plants, two large schoolbags covered two bodies that were running around.
One big and one small, one cute and one silly, both have cute watermelon heads with eyebrows cut, white and clean, eyes like paint, straight nose bridge, bright red and thin lips, now you can predict what they will look like when they grow up.
Outstanding and handsome, they must be two handsome boys.
"Duoduo Xiaoxiao! Why don't you come in and turn on the air conditioner when it's so hot? Are you out of school so early? Are you here to pick up your mother?"
"Aunt Reiko."
"Aunt Reiko."
The two little heads lowered at the same time, bowed respectfully, and bowed to say hello to the young aunt.
Reiko likes children who are polite the most, especially cute and handsome babies who are born with good manners. Reiko smiled and stepped aside, "Look at you guys sweating profusely. If your mother sees it later, she will probably scold you both."
, come in and let me know, Aunt Reiko hid two pieces of cantaloupe at noon, so I expected you two little greedy cats to come after school in the afternoon and want to eat!"
The little pair of black grapes suddenly narrowed. Just as he was about to put his little hand into the hands of the lovely Aunt Reiko, Duoduo stretched out his hand and pulled the corner of his brother's clothes. Watermelon Taro's hair shook as delicately and delicately as the leaves in the willow wind.
Dadai's expression was very serious, he lowered his voice and shook his head, "Xiao Xiao!"
Xiaoxiao, who was only over five years old after all, how could he understand the worldly ways of being human? He turned around and angrily scolded his stupid brother, "Ling Xiaoduo, your brother is dying of thirst!"
Aunt Lingzi gently touched the kind-hearted Duoduo's black hair, "Duoduo, do you have to be polite to Aunt Lingzi? Then Aunt Lingzi is really angry."
Just as she was talking, Qing Wu came out of the kitchen and saw her two sons, one older and one younger, standing in the room sweating profusely with two big schoolbags on their shoulders. She walked over with a smile, bent down and hugged the two boys tightly, holding them tightly in her arms.
After hugging each other, he let go and pointed to the small long sofa, "Silly boys, come and sit here. School is over so early today. You came here from school in such a strong sun and you are sweating profusely from running. Hurry up.
Wipe it."
As he spoke, he wringed out wet towels for his sons and handed them over.
"Mom, have you forgotten? Today is the school's exchange day. The teachers have to go to a meeting, so school ends early."
The two brothers are obviously three years apart. One is stunted and the other is as strong as a pine tree. So they don’t look very different. Many of them are as young as a flower. They are as young as a flower.
On the road, wearing the same school uniform, many people thought they were twins.
Qingwu touched the little hair and looked at the quieter Duoduo, "Duoduo, did you finish the mushrooms that your mother prepared for you at noon today? Or did you secretly pour them into the trash can?"
Duoduo is nine years old and should have been in third grade, but because of his physical problems and language skills, Qing Wu Leng raised him until he was six years old before sending him to kindergarten, while Xiaoxiao is a tsundere in studies.
She didn't study in the first grade. In order to go in and out of the kindergarten with her brother every day, she obediently learned the knowledge in the first grade. In this way, she jumped into the second grade where Duoduo was. Qingwu went to the school to find the principal and leader many times, but
Fortunately, this is a small southern town that doesn’t pay much attention to rules. Soon, Duoduo and Xiaoxiao were in the same class. There were five classes for each age group in their school. Duoduo and Xiaoxiao were in a class because there were a bunch of people with extremely good looks.
The two handsome, prince-like brothers became famous throughout the school.
Qingwu's purpose is not to show off that she has two handsome sons as handsome as princes, but to worry about Duoduo's situation. At the same time, she is also worried that Xiaoxiao will be bullied after jumping into the second grade at a young age. Duoduo is slow-tempered, dull and honest, and Xiaoxiao
On the other hand, they are more cunning. The two brothers complement each other and take care of each other, which is also convenient for her to take care of. After all, she has to guard the cake shop during the day, and this shop is her only income.
Qingwu didn't listen carefully to what Duoduo answered. Qingwu laughed when she saw her two sons happily eating the cantaloupe that Lingzi gave them.
He got up, told Master Zhang to go home, and finished work for Lingzi. Then he packed up the things in the shop and asked Duoduo and Xiaoxiao to wait outside the door. They got off work early and went home early today.
Duoduo and Xiaoxiao finished eating the cantaloupe and were making their own plans on the steps.
"Brother, you almost exposed your secret just now!"
"No way."
"When mom asked you that I didn't throw away the mushrooms, do you dare to admit that for a moment you wanted to betray your brother and me?"
He is so kind and honest, but it is tragic that he always has to choose between this devil brother and his mother. He told his mother truthfully, and his brother wanted to show his face, ignore him for a long time, and lie to his mother. He has a pure conscience
I can't get through it.
It's really quite confusing.
Ever since, dull children also know how to change the subject at some point.
"Xiao Xiao, there are some mud marks on your face that you haven't wiped clean!"
Sure enough, Xiao Xiaosheng was perfunctory, and his red face turned pale with fright. He immediately went to the glass display window, intending to find out what was going on. However, his mother closed the door ruthlessly, and he had no choice but to rush to Duoduo.
"Where? I asked you to clean me up on the way here. Ling Xiaoduo, you always do things carelessly and don't know how to be responsible for your brother!"
"..."
"Ling Xiaoduo, where are you? Mom is about to lock the door and come over. If she finds out that there are mud marks on my face, she will definitely ask me what I am doing because of my mother's foot-wrapped nature. We won't tell you.
She told the truth, she said we sneaked into Grandma Wang's vegetable garden and picked four-leaf clovers, right?"
But what Duo Duo is worried about is obviously another matter.
He looked at his right palm which was scratched by the tip of a wooden branch, his two brows quarreled, and interrupted Xiaoxiao, "Brother, can you go to mother's left side later, and let me go to her right side?"
Xiaoxiao also had his own troubles. When faced with his brother, he always changed the subject without realizing it. He expressed his annoyance and asked warily, "Why? I have been walking to the right of my mother and you have been walking to the left of my mother. Why are you so sudden?"
Want to change places?"
Both brothers have a common problem: they don't like to change things they have been accustomed to for a long time.
Just as Duoduo was about to speak, Qingwu had already locked the door. She came over happily and stood between the two brothers. When she saw Duoduo standing on her right, she didn't pay attention and ordered, "Duoduo, come to mom's left, Xiaoxiao
, go to mom’s right side, don’t you always like to mix up your positions? Okay, come on, mom will take you to the supermarket, buy some of your favorite dishes, and cook them for you.”
Xiaoxiao was an unscrupulous person who couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food. He immediately walked to Qingwu's right side obediently and pushed Duoduo, "Brother, you go to mom's left. Mom's right is Xiaoxiao!"
Duoduo was immobile and a little anxious.
Qingwu saw the sweat on his forehead and saw that he was not moving, so she stopped and asked, "Duoduo, what's the matter?"
"Mom, I want to change places with my brother today."
"But don't you like being on mom's left side..."
"Ling Xiaoduo, you are so verbose, hurry up and go to mom's left. Later, all our favorite dishes in the supermarket will be snatched up by other children!" Xiaoxiao is very impatient.
After Qingwu heard this, she burst out laughing and said to her youngest son, "Ling Xiaoxiao, you said you are your brother, you know how to eat!"
Xiaoxiao pouted and winked at Duoduo, but Duoduo was just a piece of wood, a piece of wood that looked like wood.
Qingwu felt something was wrong. Duoduo was always taciturn when he was worried. She squatted down, touched Duoduo's watermelon head, and asked gently, "Duoduo, what's wrong? Are you angry with your brother?"
Duo Duo shook his head.
"Then why don't you come to mother's left side and insist on taking brother's right side?"
Duoduo lowered his head and hid his right hand behind his back, "...because...because..."
Of course, this little move couldn't be hidden from Qingwu's eyes. She took advantage of Duoduo not paying attention, grabbed her son's right hand, and opened Duoduo's tightly clenched fingers one by one. Then, a shocking blood mark appeared on the palm of her hand.
.
Qingwu's expression changed, she was distressed and angry, "Duoduo! What's going on? How did you get hurt? Did you fight with other children?"
Duoduo looked at his brother and said nothing.
Qingwu looked at Xiaoxiao and asked, "Xiaoxiao, you've been with your brother all day, what's going on?"
Xiaoxiao seemed to suddenly realize it and understood his brother's eyes. He also lowered his head and did not dare to speak anymore.
Qingwu had no choice but to raise her head. There was a pharmacy across the street. It was important to treat the wound to prevent infection. She would leave this question until the evening for more detailed questioning.
"You two little guys better get your lines right before I come back from buying medicine! Stay here, watch the car, and don't move!"
The two watermelon heads lowered their heads and nodded obediently as if they were aware of their mistake.
As soon as Qing Wu turned around, the two brothers exploded.
Xiaoxiao looked at her brother with disdain and confusion, "Ling Xiaoduo, why are you so stupid? I was the one who went to collect herbs, and I was the one rolling in the grass. You were just responsible for giving me a break at the door.
Can scratch the palm of your hand, do you want to make me helpless like this?
Language!"
Duoduo had a look of pain on his face, "I didn't want to either. I fall easily when walking, and you don't know it! It was you who insisted on saying that the four-leaf clover could cure my mother's back pain, so you insisted on secretly picking it from Grandma Wang's vegetable garden.
As a result, there were no four-leaf clovers in the vegetable patch!"
"Some are good!" Xiaoxiao was dissatisfied. He took out the small cloth bag on the strap of his schoolbag and grabbed it for a long time. Finally, he took out the four poor four-leaf clovers that had been picked with so much hard work and had been flattened by the kettle.
When he arrived in front of Duoduo, he waved it grandly, "Did you see it? This is the four-leaf clover, the magical grass that can cure mom's back pain!"
Duoduo sneered, picked up one of the tampered plants, and pointed to the place where a leaf was quietly picked off by a certain paw, "What four-leaf clover? You searched for nearly an hour before you found three grasses with only four leaves.
This plant originally had five leaves, but you quietly pulled one off, Xiaoxiao, you can't hide it like this!"
"..."
Cio, do you want to tell him the bare truth...
Duoduo was still in the old-fashioned way, "Besides, even if my mother didn't notice my injury, Grandma Wang would tell her about our bad behavior sooner or later."
"No, didn't you hear Grandma Wang always say that she has already bowed down under my overalls? As long as I let her kiss her, she will promise me anything! I just kissed her three times,
We also had two more opportunities to sneak into her vegetable garden!”
"..."
Duoduo is really speechless towards this younger brother sometimes.
However, Xiaoxiao always thinks too much from time to time, and glances sideways at her brother, "Admit it, you are stupid, how can you be as warm and lovable as me? Grandma Chen, Grandma Wang, Grandma Zhang in the community
, who hasn’t bowed down to my lantern overalls..."
"..."
Duoduo sighed secretly, no wonder adults often say that silence is golden. It turns out that silence is so reliable.
Qingwu felt very sorry for her son. These two little guys were the whole meaning of her life. After she bought the medicine and carefully bandaged Duoduo, she asked Duoduo to move to the right side and asked Xiaoxiao to come to her left side, holding one in each hand.
, the three men rushed towards the supermarket in a mighty manner.
In fact, the so-called good food is just the home-cooked food that Duoduo and Xiaoxiao love to eat. The best thing about these two boys is that they are not picky eaters. In addition, Qingwu has worked hard on cooking in the past few years. Both boys fell in love with Qingwu.
Under the delicious taste.
When the lanterns came on, the three of them bought groceries and walked home talking and laughing.
