The modern fortune-telling history of a small shopkeeper

The sun in July is like fire, and the sun at noon is the sunniest time of the day.

There were a few little radish heads squatting there on the hillside. They also knew that the sun was shining that day, so they went to pick the lotus leaves planted by others. Each of them had a lotus leaf on top of their heads to cover the sun above their heads.

In this group of children, the eldest is eleven or twelve years old, and the middle two are nine or ten years old.

The two youngest are just over a year old and just able to walk. The two small faces are very similar, but they are so gray that they cannot be seen, and they are dark. The two little ones are sucking their noses and following behind the brothers and sisters' buttocks. .

A row of radish heads lined up from tall to short, standing on a high place and looking towards the direction of the village entrance. There was someone they were waiting for, and they came back from this direction.

"Second sister, why don't you come back?"

"Second sister, do you think elder brother will come back today?"

"Second sister, why don't we go to the town to find elder brother."

"..."

"Let's wait a little longer. If the eldest brother comes back, we'll go home." The eldest second sister was so overwhelmed by the question that she could answer the questions below. How could she know? so much.

Qiao Xiaohui has never been to the town a few times since she was a child, and the town is a very strange place to her.She didn't dare to take her siblings on such a long journey from the village to the town. The older ones can still walk such a long distance, and the two younger ones must be carried on their backs.

What if I take it to the town and lose my younger siblings? I heard that there are bad guys in the town who specialize in abducting children.

"Oh." Hearing what the second sister said, the others were a little disappointed, but they stood there obediently and waited.

One by one stretched their necks and looked in the direction of the intersection to see if the eldest brother would appear there.

The sun had risen to the very center of the sky, and they had been waiting here all morning.

The two little ones on the side stood for a while, and when they were tired from standing, they sat on the ground and started playing.

Qiao Xiaohui saw that her younger brother and sister were covered with mud and sand, so she hurriedly pulled her up, patted the sand on their bodies, took her hand out of her mouth, raised her hand to wipe her mouth, and said, "It's dirty, don't put your hands in your mouth, this is sand, you can't eat it, it will hurt your stomach if you eat it."

"Third sister, Xiaocheng, come and help me." She couldn't handle two of them by herself.

"I told you not to take them out." The third sister, Qiao Xiaofen, disliked the two little ones, but still worked hard to help the two little ones clean the sand from their faces and hands, and warned them fiercely not to put the sand in it. In his mouth, he raised his hand and said: "If you don't obey, you will hit me."

Qiao Mingcheng patted his little brother's hands clean, but said nothing.

"Don't keep scaring Xiaobao and little sister, they are already afraid of you." Qiao Xiaohui pushed her when she saw that third sister was always scaring the two younger ones.They just brought the two younger brothers and sisters because no one was willing to stay at home to take care of the two younger brothers and sisters.

"I'm just talking, I haven't even hit them before." Qiao Xiaofen said, curling her lips.

"I know, but if you are like this, Xiaobao and my younger sister are also afraid of you." It is said that the eldest sister is like a mother. Qiao Xiaohui is young, gentle and soft-spoken. Big, never reluctant to fight or scold.

The two little ones love to laugh since they were young, and they seldom cry. Except for crying when they are hungry, they are easy to take care of at other times.

Thinking of her father and mother who were gone, Qiao Xiaohui felt sad for a while. She was afraid that something would happen to her brother like her father, and she would never come back after leaving.She knew that her brother had been very sad since her father left.When my mother left, my father was very sad. She was afraid that her brother would leave them too.

Seeing her sister was hard to say, Qiao Xiaofen was hard-spoken and soft-hearted, and muttered, "Sister, don't be angry, I just don't want to be mean to Xiaobao and my little sister from now on."

"Well, I know you didn't mean to kill them." Qiao Xiaohui knew that the third sister didn't mean that, and patted the younger sister's hand, "We are all fine, wait for brother to come back."

The two sisters looked at each other and both smiled.

"Cuckoo..."

The two young ones didn't know much about the world, and when they saw their sisters laughing, they clapped their little hands and giggled too.

Qiao Mingcheng has long been used to the two sisters bickering from time to time. Usually, the third sister and the eldest sister are in a hurry. Their second sister has a good temper, and the third sister is just a bitch.

"Sister, let me hug Xiaobao." Seeing that the elder sister might be tired after hugging her younger brother for a while, Qiao Mingcheng reached out and took her younger brother to hug him. Stare small.

The two brothers look a bit alike, they both look like their dead father, and their facial features are more like their Qiao family, with straight eyebrows, not too good-looking, but not ugly either.

The two sisters, Qiao Xiaohui and Qiao Xiaofen, look like his dead mother. Qiao's mother was very good-looking back then. The two sisters have regular facial features, double eyelids, and a pair of big and bright eyes. They are tall and tall, taller than children of the same age. out half a head.

The clothes worn by the brothers and sisters were all covered with patches, and after patching and patching, the fabrics had already turned white after washing.But except for the dirty faces of the two little ones, the clothes on the three siblings are all clean and neat.

The summer sun was so strong that they stood here and didn't know how to wait in a shaded place under the tree. The siblings waited for a long time on this hillside, their skin was flushed with sunburn, and none of them shouted to go back.

After a while, a car appeared in their line of sight, and a sharp-eyed person recognized that the rider was their big brother, and shouted loudly, "It's big brother, it's big brother."

"And big brother, big brother is behind."

A group of children ran towards the intersection, and the two younger ones fell behind and screamed anxiously.

"Oh, why are you two so stupid." It must be Qiao Xiaofen who spoke.

The few who ran in front stopped, turned back to help the two younger ones up, each took one, and ran in the direction of the big brother. They saw the big brother sitting in the back of the car.Several people ran in a hurry, holding the hats on top of their heads in their hands, and some of them fell behind and didn't look back to pick them up.

"Big brother——Brother——"

"Big Brother—Big Brother—"

There was joy and joy in the voice.

Seeing a group of little radish heads running towards him, Qiao Mingshan quickly squeezed the brakes, stopped, and asked dumbfoundingly, "Xiaohui Xiaofen, why did you all run out with your brothers and sisters?"

Qiao Minglang stood up from the back seat and looked at the group of younger brothers and sisters who ran up to him.

"Big Brother, we are waiting for the eldest brother to come back." Qiao Xiaohui glanced at the big brother, and then at their eldest brother. They have respected and feared this eldest brother since childhood.

"Big brother."

A group of little radish heads stood in front of the eldest brother, all of them lowered their heads and dared not speak, and couldn't help raising their eyes to glance at the eldest brother, wanting to get close to the eldest brother.

The two young ones didn't know how to be afraid of the elder brother, so they jumped on the elder brother's body with two short legs, hugged the elder brother's legs from left to right, and occupied one side, looking up at the two similar little faces. Brother, shouting "brother, brother".

"Hey, it's me, I'm back."

Hearing this "brother", Qiao Minglang felt a surge of heat in his heart, and his eyes felt hot.

If I knew that the teenager had a group of younger brothers and sisters before, but now when I see this group of younger brothers and sisters, this feeling becomes real.

He looked down at the two children hanging on his feet. These two children were a pair of dragon and phoenix twins. They looked very similar. They were one and a half years old and could walk. The assembly said, but the word "brother" was pronounced very clearly.

"I'm not at home for the past two days, how are things at home?" Qiao Minglang's eyes fell on the tallest girl, and he knew that this little girl was his second younger sister, Qiao Xiaohui. There is a fourth brother, Qiao Mingcheng.

There are six children in their family, Qiao Minglang is the eldest son, he has three younger sisters and two younger brothers.The eldest sister, Qiao Xiaohui, is 12 years old this year.The third sister, Qiao Xiaofen, is ten years old this year.The third brother, Qiao Mingcheng, is nine years old this year.

The youngest is the pair of dragon and phoenix twins under his feet, more than one year old and less than two years old.

"Okay, brother, everything is fine." Qiao Xiaohui said, her voice choked up.

The two little girls watched the eldest brother come back, their eyes were red, they raised their hands to wipe away their tears, sniffed their noses, and pretended nothing happened.They watched their elder brother being carried away that day, and they were very afraid that his elder brother would be like his father again, if he was sent away, he would never come back.

Qiao Mingcheng bowed his head and remained silent, his eyes were red, but he was a boy, he didn't cry like a girl, and he wanted to save face.

If it weren't for the aunt and the others saying that the elder brother was just sick and sent to the town's health center for an injection, and he would come back soon, they would all want to go to the town to find him.They didn't see the elder brother coming back, so they only half-believed what the aunt said, fearing that the elder would lie to them.

"Big brother, thank you for sending me back, I'll just walk back with them." Qiao Minglang turned his head to thank his big brother, and told him to go back first.

If it wasn't for the eldest brother to send him back, he might not be able to come back even if he had to walk such a long way at this time.Qiao Minglang was very grateful for the help of this big cousin.

"Well, that's good, I'll let you walk back." He couldn't carry so many people on a bicycle. Before leaving, Qiao Mingshan told his cousin to take medicine on time, "I'll go first." The bike is gone.

"Brother, walk slowly."

Behind is a group of people shouting for the big brother to walk slowly.

Qiao Mingshan rode his bike away, and couldn't help but flash a smile on his face.

Seeing the big brother riding away on the bike, Qiao Minglang looked at the group of little radish heads in front of him, couldn't help laughing, held a small one in one hand, and said to the three following: "Let's go, Let's go home."

"it is good."

Seeing that the elder brother came back, the younger ones showed smiles on their faces, followed behind their elder brother, and headed back home.

Perhaps it was the nature of blood relationship, even though it was the first time seeing these younger brothers and sisters, Qiao Minglang did not feel any strangeness or alienation from these younger brothers and sisters, on the contrary, he liked them from the bottom of his heart.

In his last life, he was alone, and after his adoptive father left, he didn't even have a single relative by his side.He didn't expect that he would have relatives after reliving his life. This kind of family relationship connected by blood was something he had never experienced before.

He didn't know why he came here, but since he was allowed to live here instead of the boy, he was responsible for taking care of these younger brothers and sisters.

From then on, they are a family, have a family, have a home...
