The couple smiled and invited the teachers of the orphanage into their home for a cup of tea, but the teachers all refused.Because it was a long way from Dama County to Tinglan County, they had to rush back to the orphanage, and they couldn't stay for too long. They only chatted with the parents for a few words before getting into the car and setting off for the return trip.

Watching the dust from the rear of the car and watching the car leave, Tataram later turned his attention to the boy who was stunned at his feet.She said, "Go inside, it's a bit cold outside in the morning."

Long Jue looked back at her face, didn't answer, and didn't follow them.

Ze Renjia walked a few steps, turned around and saw that he was just looking at himself and his wife without moving half a step, and said: "I know you are very strange to us, but as long as you live here, you will Get used to it slowly."

Long Jue's gaze moved and landed on the young man by the courtyard gate. Tataram noticed this gaze, looked at the young man, seemed to understand something, turned back and smiled and said, "That is our guest, is he The elder brother from the next door. You are so strange to us, he will laugh at our family."

Long Jue's eyes widened slightly, a little surprised, his intuition was wrong once.

Seeing that he was like a piece of wood, Tataram stretched out his right hand to him, "Because I didn't live up to expectations, I have never had a child of my own, and I will depend on you in the future."

Looking at her rough hand, Long Jue hesitated for a while, then bravely raised a hand and gently put it on.

When passing through the old courtyard gate, Long Jue took another look at the young man standing by the gate, but didn't say hello to him.

The boy also looked at him, then raised his voice and said to the owner of the house: "Auntie, I'm going back."

Ze Renjia raised the curtain and looked back at him: "Okay, thank you."

The boy smiled, turned around and walked through the courtyard gate, turning a corner and disappearing.

Looking at the place where he disappeared, Long Jue murmured: "Brother next door?" He raised a hand, pointed straight at the opposite side of the wall, and asked, "Is that the one who lives in the house next door?"

Tataram nodded with a smile, and told Long Jue: "You can come to our house, thanks to him, he helped." While pulling him to look for the living room, she said: "The previous day For a while, he went out to look for a job and asked us to look after his home. He had been to many places and passed by the Dama County Orphanage. When he came back, he told me that there were many orphans without parents, and I wanted to pick one up to continue the family.”

Long Jue lowered his head and thought for a while, then opened his mouth: "Does he live next door alone?"

Tataram replied: "Well, he has always lived in that house alone. He is also very good, working hard on his own at such a young age."

Long Jue raised his head and asked again: "Does he have no parents?"

Tataram was stunned for a moment before answering: "Grandpa Gartso lived in that house. One day, he brought back this elder brother and said he was his grandson. Grandpa Gartso passed away three years ago. He succeeded Grandpa Gartso and inherited the ownership of that house."

Ze Renjia picked up the old copper pot, poured a glass of water into the copper cup, put it on the old faded classical table, opened his mouth slowly, broke up their conversation, and asked: "Are you in the orphanage, do you have any questions?" Do you have your own name?"

Long Jue was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied: "Yes! My name is Long Jue, which is the name given to me by the dean."

Tseringja turned his head back calmly: "That's the name." He looked at him calmly and seriously, "Now, you should call me Abba."

Long Jue met the kind gaze of the tall man in front of him, and was always a little timid. He thought that he would always live here in the future and be raised by them, and felt that he had to face the reality and forget it. It is better to have a family than to have a family.He summoned up his courage and called out the first 'Abba' in a strange way.

Ze Renjia walked up to Long Jue, raised his hand and touched his head as a reward, then looked at his wife, and said to his wife: "This child is very sensible and smart, and Zhimei has a very good vision. .”

Tataram nodded, and echoed: "I liked him very much when I saw him. Naomi's vision is indeed very good, and she picked a very good child."

Ze Renjia decided: "Another day, you send a gift over there to thank you, Naomi has worked very hard for us to complete this matter."

Tataram raised a smile and agreed: "Definitely."

Ze Renjia said to Long Jue again: "Are you thirsty? Here is a glass of water."

Long Jue nodded heavily.

Ze Renjia picked up the cup and handed it over.

Holding the cup, Long Jue gulped down the water.

Tataram thought for a while, then blurted out: "By the way, you haven't called me Grandma yet."

Long Jue quenched his thirst, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, looked at her sunburned but still beautiful face, squeezed out two words from between his teeth, "Grandma..."

three days later.

There was a long wooden ladder in the yard. Long Jue stood it up, leaned against the wall, supported it, and climbed to the top of the wall.Standing on the top of the wall, the wind blows slowly over his head, making him feel fun and comfortable.

He looked in the opposite yard and saw the boy, Zhimei Lunzhu, standing under the house facing a large water tank, and was throwing pieces of highland barley noodles into the bathtub.

Long Jue looked at him intently, wondering what he was doing.

Suddenly, Zhimei Lunzhu turned her head, looked straight at Long Jue in the corner, and opened her mouth to speak: "Come in to play?"

Long Jue shrank his head immediately, only the top of his head and two eyes were exposed on the top of the wall, a little shy, after thinking for a while, he poked his head out again, and nodded in response to "hmm".

After that, he immediately climbed down the wooden ladder, rushed out, ran to the courtyard door next door, raised his right hand, hesitated for a while, and finally, his right hand landed on the door, and knocked three times.

The closed door opened immediately, and Zhimei Lunzhu welcomed him, "Come in."

Long Jue followed the young man in, looking around while walking, and when he saw the big water tank, he rushed over, took a closer look at the bottom of the water tank, and saw several colorful figures swimming in the dark water. swim.

"It's a goldfish." Zhi Mei Lunzhu raised the curtain, looked at Long Jue standing in front of the water tank, and told him proactively.

"So it's fish..." Long Jue murmured in a daze, and raised his head to meet Zhi Meilunzhu's gaze, "Do you raise these fish for yourself?"

Zhimei Lunzhu replied: "No, it's for sale."

Long Jue thought for a while, then glanced at the water tank, and expressed his opinion: "I don't think...you can't make much money. When I was in the orphanage, the teacher told me that fish farming needs a big pond. If you come to raise them, and if you raise a lot of them, they will be sold on the market.”

The corners of Zhimei Lunzhu's lips smiled slightly: "I told you just now, the goldfish I raise are goldfish, and when they are raised to two or three catties, they can only earn tens of thousands of yuan each when they are fished out of the water."

Long Jue couldn't believe it, and asked again: "Then how many years have you raised it? Have you ever sold it?"

Zhimei Lunzhu replied: "I have only raised it for four years, and it has not reached a catty yet."

Hearing this, Long Jue found it intriguing, and wondered: "But, ordinary fish, don't they grow so big after a year of breeding, and there are many small fish..." Then, he made an approximation with his hands. Fifty centimeters in length.

Zhimei Lunzhu laughed at him slightly: "How can goldfish compare with ordinary fish for eating." Then he crossed the threshold and walked into the house.

Although Long Jue was puzzled by what he said, but when he saw him walk in, he quickly followed him in.

He looked around as usual, and found that the house was very clean. Not only that, the furnishings in the house were like an antique shop. Those old things are obviously found in ordinary families, but here they have the feeling of valuable antiques.

Zhimei Lunzhu stood in front of the classical counter, with his back to Long Jue, picked up the copper pot, poured a glass of water, and asked him, "Do you want any sweets?"

Long Jue turned his head and responded loudly with the word 'yes', but after thinking about it again, he felt embarrassed again and said, "I'd better... eat a little."

Zhimei Lunzhu pulled out the drawer, took out a pack of unopened candies, then pushed the drawer back, turned around, walked up to Long Jue, and handed him the whole pack of candies.

Long Jue stared at the candy and thought for a while, then took it straight away, hugged it in his arms, then looked at Zhimei Lunzhu, and said shyly, "Thank you, brother Zhimei..."

After finishing the words, he suddenly said again: "But brother Zhimei, why do you have sweets at home? Could it be that you keep some for yourself?"

Zhimei Lunzhu thought about it again, and said: "I bought it when I went to the Migan market a while ago, and I ate it when I was hungry in the middle of the night. Hey... this is a secret, you can't tell it."

Long Jue replied: "Okay, this is our secret." Looking at the stairs upstairs, he said: "By the way, you live alone. Are you afraid of ghosts when you sleep alone at night?"

Zhimei Lunzhu took it for granted: "No. I would be very happy if Grandpa came back to see me at night."

When Long Jue heard this, he felt troubled, and asked again: "Then are you afraid of thunder?"

Zhimei Lunzhu began to hesitate.

Long Jue couldn't help sighing: "Are you also afraid of thunder? I used to live in the orphanage with other children. When there was thunder, everyone stayed together. It was fun! Now I'm alone..."

Zhimei Lunzhu was silent for a moment, then blurted out: "It's okay, you can come to me when there is thunder."

Long Jue couldn't help cheering up, he was overjoyed and said: "Really!? Then can I come to your house to play often?"

Zhimei Lunzhu hardly thought about it, so she responded generously: "Of course."

Long Jue bowed his head, hurriedly opened the candy bag, took out three candies, and handed them to Zhimei Lunzhu: "We will play together from now on!"

Zhimei Lunzhu reached out and took the three candies from his palm.

They have only known each other for a few days, and they quickly became good friends. Long Jue always used the wooden ladder to climb to the top of the wall to see if Zhimei Lunzhu was at home, and often ran to find Zhimei Lunzhu. When she is busy, she will help, and sometimes she will talk to Zhimei Lunzhu when she has something in her heart.

In this village, there are no less than five children of Long Jue's age. They heard that a new child had arrived in the village, and they all sneaked up to Long Jue's adoptive parents' house in groups, hiding not far from the gate, and poking their heads. wait and see.

They discussed it and wanted to bring this new kid over to become a new member of the children's group, become friends with each other, and play together, but things didn't go so smoothly.Among them, two or three, or one alone, when meeting Long Jue in the alley, greetings were always unsuccessful. Long Jue only looked back at them, and ran away again. They also tried to invite him to play together. , is also always rejected.

Every time the phrase 'play with us' is mentioned, Long Jue's answer is almost the same, saying, 'I'm going to find brother Zhimei, you play by yourself first', which makes these children very unhappy.

They all know who Zhimei Lunju is. In their innocent hearts, Zhimei Lunju is an adult. There is a difference between an adult and a child. Of course, a child should play with a child, and a child has a child's game. Only interesting.Because Long Jue left them and often went to find Zhimei Lunzhu, which made them more and more resentful and complaining.

Two years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Long Jue has known Zhimei Lunzhu for two years. According to Long Jue's cognition, now he is entering adolescence, and Zhimei Lunzhu has become an out-and-out young man.

Whenever he saw Zhimei Lunzhu's tall figure, he couldn't help being envious, and dreamed about when he could become a young man like Zhimei Lunzhu.

There is an elementary school in Tinglan County, but it is a little far away from Yuedang Village, but in the past two years, the adoptive parents insisted that Longjue go to school, and Zhimei Lunzhu often took care of the task of escorting him to school and home.

Zhimei Lunzhu has an old black bicycle. In the past two years, she has been riding it to pick up Longjue and take Longjue through the rugged mountain road.And Long Jue never minded the bumps in the back seat, sitting in this position with great interest, watching the scenery slowly passing by.

His academic performance is very good, and it all depends on Naomi Lunju's after-school homework tutoring.Zhimei Lunzhu seems to be a universal pocket, a god-like existence, no matter what kind of request Long Jue has, he can meet it.

Two years later, Long Jue went to a middle school farther away to study in junior high school. Every day, he had to get up about one or two hours before class time, and then Zhimei Lunzhu would send him to school.Because the school fees are a bit expensive, his parents don't want him to live on campus, so they can only ask Zhimei Lunzhu again.

On Saturday, Longjue is always free, this is his time to play, but when he goes to Zhimei Lunzhu's house with the purpose of playing, Zhimei always asks this question: Have you finished your homework after class?

Several children in the village would always seize this time and come to Long Jue's house to play with Long Jue. After all, they are also students of the same school, so it is easier to come to find someone.

Once, Long Jue was finally willing to play ball, climb mountains, and chat with them, but he didn't seem to be having such a good time, as if he was just passing the time.In fact, Zhimei Lunzhu was not at home that day, which made him very frustrated. His good friend was not at home, and he didn't want to stay at home alone and be bored in a daze. It would be a good idea to go out and get along with others, so he Done.

Although he didn't have that much fun, but with so many people around his own age around him, Long Jue gradually began to accept them and talk to them, although he seemed passive because of the lack of deep relationship.
