one punch

Dou Tianxiao is young, his memory is very short, and he has no concept of hatred, so even though his mother would yell and break his dog legs every now and then, he turned his face away and threw himself into his mother's arms full of joy , and praised obediently: "Mom, you are so beautiful today."

Jiang Ran has seen Dou Tianxiao's mother several times, she always dressed in plain and simple clothes, but today she obviously put on makeup and dyed her hair, her exquisite facial features and slender figure are impressive.

This reminded him of a sentence his mother explained to him a while ago: women are the ones who please themselves.

A woman grooms herself meticulously only when she expects someone to look at her.

Mama Dou, what are you doing...

The smile on Ye Xiaoyue's face deepened, she held his little face and squeezed it, "It's been a while since I saw you, have you gained weight, your face is round."

"I've gained four catties, and I've grown a centimeter taller!" Dou Tianxiao said quite proudly.

Ye Xiaoyue rubbed his head, pointed to the man sitting on the motorcycle and said, "Call me Uncle."

Dou Tianxiao was a little shy, and called "Uncle" timidly, but what he never expected was that the strange uncle immediately took out two cards of Grandpa Mao from his pocket and handed them to him, and said with a smile: "Happy birthday Xiaoxiao."

Dou Tianxiao was flattered, and was about to say how do you know my name, when his mother reached out to stop her, "Hey, what are you doing, take it back quickly."

"I didn't buy any presents for the kid's birthday, so let me show you." The man simply got out of the car, took Dou Tianxiao's little hand and stuffed Grandpa Mao into his palm, "Let's buy something delicious."

Dou Tianxiao was having a difficult ideological struggle in his heart at the moment, he looked up at his mother and waited for instructions, but usually his mother would refuse him.

"Uncle, just take it for you, thank you, Uncle Li." Ye Xiaoyue smiled like a flower.

Dou Tianxiao held Grandpa Mao tightly, thanked him nonchalantly, and looked up at Uncle Li in front of him.

He has a round cut cut close to his scalp, his facial features are not good-looking, he has a single eyelid and a high nose bridge, and his figure is slightly fat. When he smiles, his eyes are two curved slits, but his face is very kind. A large gold chain almost as thick as a finger.

My aunt happened to see this strange man while washing the vegetables, so she walked over and asked, "Xiaoyue, is this your colleague?"

"No, this is a customer who often comes to our factory to order clothes. His name is Li Qingning. He works in City B and is the purchasing manager of a foreign company." Ye Xiaoyue's eyes flashed with undisguised admiration.

My aunt saw it all, and hurriedly agreed: "Yo, then their company must be very big."

"It's okay, because we are a Sino-foreign joint venture company, half of which are sold abroad, so the demand is also large." Li Qingning said.

It was the first time in my aunt's life that she came into contact with employees of foreign-funded enterprises. She only had one concept of foreign-funded enterprises, or even the employees of foreign-funded enterprises, and that was - rich.

There was an expression of envy and admiration on her face, and she hurriedly praised: "That's very good, the income should be very high."

"It's okay, anyway, I'm living alone now, and the whole family is not hungry." Li Qingning glanced at Ye Xiaoyue when he said this.

Ye Xiaoyue smiled at him.

Although my aunt has never read a book, she has a lot of experience in the world. With just one glance, she seems to have seen a dark tide rushing by.

She is very clear about Ye Xiaoyue's inner thoughts. Dou Guangmao is not a good thing. After so many years, it is not easy for the child's mother to be alone, and she will definitely think about remarrying. Said: "Today happens to be the birthday of the two children, and the house is very lively, so let's stay for a meal by the way."

"No, no, I'll go home and eat." Li Qingning stepped on the motorcycle embarrassedly.

My aunt gave Ye Xiaoyue a wink, and then used her sharp tongue, and finally dragged her into the house by saying something.

The dinner was cooked by my uncle, and a dozen or so hard dishes were delicious. During the dinner, a few children sat together and chattered. Ye Xiaoyue kept picking up dishes for the children and Li Qingning, while Li Qingning kept showing love to Dou Tianxiao. Telling jokes for a while, doing magic tricks for a while, amused a few children.

Ye Xiaoyue picked up a chicken leg for him, "You're welcome, eat more."

"Since I've sat down, I'm naturally not polite." Li Qingning ate the chicken drumsticks, not forgetting to praise, "Your brother's cooking skills are really good, you can open a restaurant."

"He just runs a noodle restaurant. My younger brother learned to cook from others since he was a child. After marrying my younger sibling, he opened a noodle restaurant in the town. I will take you to try it sometime when I have time. My younger brother and younger sibling make first-class soup." Ye Xiaoyue There is always a smile on his face.

"Then it's settled," Li Qingning nodded, and then patted Dou Tianxiao's head, "Then I'll come over next time, and Xiaoxiao will take uncle to eat noodles, okay?"

Dou Tianxiao nodded unsuspectingly.

Jiang Ran glanced at the two adults who were flirting secretly, and then lowered his head to glance at Dou Tianxiao, who was patronizing the cake, and sighed deeply in his heart, what kind of Uncle Li is this?

At the dinner table at home, he often listens to his father and mother talking about some adult matters, such as who bought a house, who gave birth to a baby, who got divorced, and his mother will patiently popularize some marriage knowledge with him. , so he knows a thing or two about it.

He knew that once Dou's mother remarried, Dou Tianxiao would have to choose between being with his mother or his father, and Dou Tianxiao, a donkey, obviously didn't realize that his mother was about to be abducted.

After the meal, several adults sat in the restaurant drinking tea and chatting after finishing the dishes. Jiang Ran pretended to have no intention of asking Dou Tianxiao to take him to visit the bedroom.

Dou Tianxiao's room was originally a study, and it was said that Jiang Ran's bedroom was half the size, and there were only three pieces of furniture in it, a wardrobe, a desk and a big bed.

Jiang Ran saw that the candy jar he gave him last time was still on Dou Tianxiao's desk, and it was empty.

"Why do you still keep it after eating it all?" He picked up the jar and put it under the light to look at it for a moment. There was nothing special about it except for some lines. It was just an ordinary glass jar, and it was too small to be used as a change jar.

Dou Tianxiao put his hands behind his back in embarrassment, "This is the first time I have received a gift, so keep it as a souvenir."

Jiang Ran froze for a moment, put the jar in his hand back on the desk, and knocked on the gift box he brought over today, "Then today is the second time?"

Dou Tianxiao nodded.

Jiang Ran's throat moved, and he suddenly didn't know what to say.

He had heard from Dou Tianxiao before that because of his father's affairs, people in the class were not willing to talk to him, but he still couldn't feel it personally, and it was hard to imagine the feeling of being isolated.

Until I saw this well-preserved empty jar, the feeling of loneliness and loneliness seemed to be concretized.

At this moment, he could suddenly feel Dou Tianxiao's desire and cherishment for friendship.

Who doesn't like friends, doesn't want friends.

This is why he has been pleasing and obeying himself.

All because of fear of losing.

Jiang Ran lay on Dou Tianxiao's bed, looked at the ceiling with several slits, and asked, "Do you like your mother or your father more?"

Dou Tianxiao replied without thinking: "I like my grandfather the most."

Jiang Ran sighed, and thought: But you can't follow your grandfather.

Although he hasn't known Dou Tianxiao for a long time, but when he thinks that it may be difficult to see this follower again in the future, he will inevitably feel a little bit disappointed.

The two sat together and chatted for a while, Jiang Ran glanced at the darkening sky outside, and said, "I'm going home first, otherwise my mother will be worried."

"Then I'll see you off." Dou Tianxiao said.

"No need," Jiang Ran thought for a while, pressed his shoulder and said, "If you encounter any unhappy things in the future, you can come upstairs to find me. If I'm not at school, you can call my home number."

A gleam of light flashed in Dou Tianxiao's eyes, "What about the happy things?"

"Of course." Jiang Ran stroked the soft hair on his forehead, "I'll go first, you can open the present now."

Dou Tianxiao sprawled on the balcony after seeing Jiang Ran off and couldn't wait to go back to his room and opened the long, flat gift box, and found a more delicate dark blue box inside.

It looks very advanced at first glance.

He carefully lifted the cover, and inside lay a pure black mechanical watch.

Dou Tianxiao was dumbfounded on the spot. In his impression, except for the teacher, everyone in the class didn't wear watches, and even if they did, they were all toy watches.

"It's actually moving..." He stared intently at the constantly moving hands on the watch.

The dial of the watch is a star map, and there is a curved moon at eleven o'clock, which is very beautiful.

On the bottom of the box was a folded greeting card the size of a palm, probably because he was afraid that he might have some characters he didn't know, and the beautiful block letters were also marked with pinyin.

"May this little sweet bean germinate as soon as possible, grow vigorously, and make academic progress in the new semester."

Signed: You Burning Brother

Dou Tianxiao's heart was almost warmed.

Compared with my own paper toad, this gift is simply too thoughtful...

Jiang Ran is indeed the world, no, the best person in the universe.

After turning off the lights at night, Dou Tianxiao was surprised to find that the hands on the watch were luminous, so the little boy seemed to have seen the big bang again, and watched the hands running for more than half an hour under the covers before he could fall asleep.

After the new semester started, Dou Tianxiao and Jiang Ran both changed classes, but they always reflexively walked to the teaching building on the right, and only realized that something was wrong when they saw strange students at the door, and then turned back to the teaching building on the left.

As for the watch that Jiang Ran sent, Dou Tianxiao kept it at home and was reluctant to wear it, for fear of being jealous.

Jiang Ran's class is still above Dou Tianxiao's and the others, but now one is on the third floor and the other is on the fifth floor. Every time he takes multimedia classes and physical education classes that need to leave the classroom, Jiang Ran feels dizzy. The time is enough to pee and run the stairs. Later, the students in their class invented a way to quickly go down the stairs, which is to sit on the handrail of the stairs and slide down.

Dou Tianxiao imitated the example and brought this skill back to the third grade. As soon as he arrived at the break, he could see a row of male students standing in line beside the handrail eager to try.

Once, the little fat man Wang Jianan pioneered and innovated. He sat on both sides of the armrest with his legs apart. As a result, when he slid to the bottom, he got stuck in his crotch. Because of inertia, his upper body fell directly to the ground, breaking two newly grown big The front teeth, so there are two black holes left in the teeth, and the air leaks and saliva when speaking. Many children are not willing to talk to him.

If Dou Tianxiao is happy, he can wake up from his dreams with a smile.

Jiang Ran was passing by in physical education class and saw Dou Tianxiao sliding on the handrail, so he said, "Take it easy, and be careful not to get your crotch stuck."

"No!" Dou Tianxiao quickly jumped to the ground when he was about to slide to the end, "I'm thin and flexible!"

Wang Jianan, who stood beside him, had a resentful expression on his face, and Dou Tianxiao arrogantly smiled at him.

He is now covered by Jiang Ran, which is like a mouse riding on a cat's back - bold and bold.
