Chapter 494 The Adventures of Little Pomelo
(Repost, please do not subscribe if you have read it)
Shen Nian'an and his family returned to Taojia Village yesterday afternoon. Everyone was tired from the journey, so they didn't clean the house much and only tidied up the three bedrooms.
His house was also a two-story building, which was built by Shen Nian'an after he started working. At that time, his salary was not high, and the cost of living in Beijing was not low. In addition to his work at school, he also took some extracurricular tutoring during his spare time, and the money he saved was just enough to build the house. The money for the house renovation was his parents' savings, and he later made up for it.
He had planned to have a simple dinner yesterday, but when his neighbors saw he was back, they cooked an extra dish and sent it to him, making for a pretty sumptuous meal.
Today is the Little New Year. Early in the morning, Shen Nian'an and Gu Qingyue borrowed an electric bike from their neighbor and rode to the town to buy New Year's goods, including food, drinks and daily necessities.
When Qinglei's parents knew they were back, they picked some vegetables from their own garden and gave them two chickens and a basket of eggs, insisting that they accept them no matter what.
All the items were prepared and the house needed to be cleaned. Youyou and Jinghe didn't go anywhere all morning and stayed at home to help.
After lunch, everyone took a nap. When they woke up, there was still a little cleaning to do, and they didn't need the help of the two children. Youyou said that she wanted to go to Liu Wangxue's house to play with the cats, so Jinghe took him there. As a result, Liu Wangxue went to the city to pick up Du Yunxiang and the others, and took the three cats with him. Youyou and Jinghe didn't stay long and came back.
I watched some cartoons with Jinghe at home. The cartoon wasn’t very good, but there was a cat in it. When Youyou saw this calico cat, she thought of Xiaoci. Alas, she missed the cat but was bored at the same time.
Mom and Dad were repairing the cabinet and they asked his brother to help. Grandma and Grandpa were preparing dinner in the kitchen, so there was no one available to chat with little Youzi.
Youyou held a small tangerine in her hand, switched from her left hand to her right hand, and then ran to the kitchen and called her grandparents, "Can you give Youyou a bag?"
We are going to eat dumplings in the evening. Grandma and grandpa are preparing the dumpling fillings. They have made several flavors of both meat and vegetarian food, and also used some vegetable juice and flour of different colors. Youyou likes these rich colors and she can always eat until her belly is full every time she makes them.
Grandpa stopped cutting vegetables when he heard this and asked, "What do you want the bag for, little grapefruit?"
"It smells so good!" Youyou put her hands on the edge of the table and stood on tiptoe to see what grandpa was cooking. She didn't forget the purpose of coming here. "I want a small bag to put the tangerines in. I want to go out and play with Xiaopang and Yaya and bring the tangerines to them to eat."
Grandma wiped her hands and picked out a small piece of candy that was suitable for Youyou to carry from the plastic bag she had just opened: "Here, take it. Also bring some of the delicious candies that Dad bought to your friends."
“Okay,” Youyou took the bag and was about to run out, “Thank you, grandma!”
"Wait a minute." Grandma called him.
Youyou turned around: "What else?"
Grandma told him: "You can only play near home, understand? You can't go far away or to dangerous places."
"I know," Youyou said with an expression that I know everything about. "You can't play with water, you can't play with fire, and you can't mess with the little animals in the village. Grandma, I remember everything!"
After saying this, she looked very proud and urged her grandma and grandpa with her eyes, "Praise me now!" She was immediately praised. She happily ran back to the living room and filled a bag of tangerines. She also grabbed two handfuls of candies and put them in the left and right pockets of her down jacket. When she passed by the yard and saw her parents and brother still repairing the cabinet, she ran over and called them one by one, saying, "I'm going to play with Xiaopang and Yaya."
Shen Nian'an and Gu Qingyue nodded in agreement and reminded him again about the safety issues.
Jinghe said, "You go first, I will come to find you later."
"Okay," Youyou waved her hand, "Brother, you have to come quickly, otherwise the little orange will be eaten up soon."
Shen Nian'an's home is located further back in the alley, while Xiaopang and Yaya's homes are in the middle of the road, and they are neighbors across the street.
Youyou walked out of her yard, turned right and walked towards the middle of the road, kicking pebbles and jumping, and soon arrived.
But unfortunately, Xiaopang and Yaya were not at home. Xiaopang's grandmother didn't know where Xiaopang had gone, but Yaya's grandmother knew, and she told Youyou: "They went to Leilei's house to play with Leilei."
Youyou has seen Leilei, but he doesn't know where Leilei's home is: "Grandma, where is Leilei's home?"
Grandma Yaya pointed to the right and said, "Let's go out this way, turn left, stop at the door of the third house, go in the opposite road, and count two more houses and we will arrive."
"Thank you grandma~" Youyou said sweetly, taking out a tangerine from the bag, and took out a candy from her pocket and handed it to Grandma Yaya, "Grandma, here you go, the tangerine was bought by my mom, and the candy was bought by my dad, they are very sweet."
Yaya’s grandmother didn’t take it. She reached out and pushed his little hand back: “Eat it, youzu. Grandma doesn’t like sweet things.”
How could someone not like sweet food? Youyou couldn't figure it out. But mom and dad told him to respect others, so he put the candy and tangerines into the bag and said, "Okay, grandma, if you like it, tell me. I have a lot of it at home."
"Okay," Grandma Yaya smiled, her face wrinkled from the wind and sun, "Go quickly, and be careful on the road."
Youyou waved goodbye and continued walking forward.
When they were still some distance away from the intersection, Youyou, who had kicked away a small branch, suddenly found a big rooster standing at the base of the wall in front of him on the left, with shiny feathers, a spectacular tail, a huge comb, and strong claws - he naturally thought of the big rooster he met when he went to Taoyuan in the summer.
He was going to defeat the big rooster happily, but ended up being scared by the big rooster and cried, which left a certain shadow in his heart.
What should I do? Youyou stopped unconsciously and held the plastic bag tightly with her little hands.
Last time, Peng Peng and Xiao Ci saved him, but today, Peng Peng and Xiao Ci are not at home. He wants to go to Lei Lei's house to find Xiao Pang and Ya Ya, what should he do?
Youyou leaned against the wall on the right, staring at the rooster for a long time, thinking, what a disgusting rooster, why is it here? How can he get past?
The big rooster didn't seem to notice that there was a child standing behind him, who was pecking at the wall with his head down and his butt sticking out.
Youyou slowly moved towards the intersection along the wall. He thought that he would run over when the rooster wasn't paying attention. He ran very fast so the big rooster couldn't catch up with him.
Yes, that’s right! Youyou moved step by step, and when he got right behind the big rooster, the big rooster suddenly turned around and stared at him.
Youyou was startled and her whole body shook.
What should I do if I’m discovered?
Youyou pressed her back against the wall to give herself courage and said to the rooster, "I am very brave. I am not afraid of you!"
The big rooster tilted his head.
Youyou said: "You, don't come over here, I will beat you!"
The big rooster shook his comb.
Youyou said: "My brother will come to me soon. He is very powerful. He will beat you too!"
The rooster raised one paw and then dropped it again.
Youyou said: "You, don't move! I'm going to run, I run very fast, you can't catch up with me!"
The big rooster took two steps forward.
The moment it raised its paw again, Youyou turned around and ran away. After running a few steps, he looked back and saw the big rooster chasing him. The fear in his heart could no longer be held back, and he burst into tears.
“Waaaaaah—brother—ahhh—I hate big and small chickens—ahhh—”
Youyou ran as fast as she could, crying as she ran.
The people in the yards of the houses passing by saw him and were all laughing, and some even leaned out to cheer him on.
Youyou was scared and sad. Why didn’t anyone come to help him? He called out to his father, mother, grandma and grandpa: “Waaaaaah – someone come and save me –”
The moment I ran out of the path, through tearful eyes, I seemed to see several familiar figures running towards me. The ones in front seemed to be Pengpeng and Xiaoci!
Youyou raised her hand to wipe her eyes, and just as she was about to see more clearly, she slipped on a branch and fell on the concrete road, crying out "Ouch". A small bag of tangerines flew out, and a few candies in her pocket fell out.
Sanzhi and Liu Wangxue were running over here. Seeing the big rooster chasing after Youyou flying up and about to peck at the back of Youyou's head, Liu Wangxue's heart tightened and he shouted, "Youyou——"
As soon as he started to speak, Youyou suddenly fell to the ground. The flying rooster drew an arc in the air, passed over Youyou and landed right in front of his head.
Liu Wangxue's heart was already lifted before it even settled down, fearing that Youyou would get hurt. Then, he saw the big rooster turn around and try to attack Youyou again.
Fortunately, in this instant, Pengpeng had already jumped forward, took a step forward, and pounced directly on the big rooster, pinning it under his claws.
The big rooster then raised its head and turned it back, and pecked Pengpeng's neck with its sharp beak.
The moment Pengpeng raised his head in pain, the big rooster seized the opportunity, flapped its wings hard, broke free from Pengpeng's shackles, jumped a step away, and faced Pengpeng again with its hair standing up, ready to fight.
Xiao Ci, who was right behind, quickly caught up and pounced on the big rooster from the side.
Just like last time, Xiao Ci couldn't hold down the big rooster because her claws were too short, and she let the rooster twist and break free, so the cat picked off two chicken feathers.
At this time, Liu Wangxue and Anding also ran over. Pengpeng and Xiaoci launched a new round of attack. Guaguai flew in the air and shouted "Come on!".
The big rooster was a hero who knew the times. When he saw that he was outnumbered, he decided not to fight and slipped away when he saw the opportunity.
The three little ones refused to give in and chased after him.
Liu Wangxue picked up Youyou who was lying on the ground. He was so distressed that he asked him repeatedly: "Youyou, are you hurt? Did the big rooster hurt you?"
Youyou was wearing thick clothes, so it didn't hurt when he fell. He was just scared. He didn't dare to move after falling. He thought that if he fell he would definitely not be able to escape the big rooster. He held his head with his little hands, waiting for the pain to come, but in the end, he didn't feel anything.
Then he quietly raised his head and saw Pengpeng and Xiaoci fighting with the big rooster in front of him. He also heard some chattering sounds, and he was no longer afraid of anything.
When Liu Wangxue picked her up and she saw a familiar person, she felt aggrieved all of a sudden and burst into tears again: "Waaaaah——Sister! You brought Pengpeng, Maomao and Guagua to save me——Ahhh——The big and small chickens are so annoying——Ahhh——It chased me and kept chasing me, I can't run anymore——"
Liu Wangxue hugged Youyou in her arms. Not to mention such a tiny thing, even she, an adult, was scared by the sight of the big rooster. She was really scared just now, and her heart was still beating wildly.
She comforted Youyou: "It's okay, it's okay. Ah, our Youyou is very brave. She was not caught by it, right?"
Anding picked up the scattered tangerines and candies and put them away. Just as he squatted beside her, he saw Youyou stopped sobbing after hearing what Liu Wangxue said. She raised her tearful face from Liu Wangxue's arms, crying heavily but speaking firmly: "That's right! I'm very brave! Pengpeng, Maomao and Guagua all protect me!"
Liu Wangxue went out without a handkerchief, so he felt in his coat pocket and found a pack of tissues. He took them out and helped Youyou wipe away her tears, then brushed off the dust on his front: "That's right! Our little Youzi is the bravest child!"
Youyou shed two more tears. When she saw Chacha running over breathlessly with a dry branch in her hand, her eyes suddenly lit up. With tear bubbles hanging from the corners of her eyes, she whispered to Liu Wangxue, "Sister, I saw the little angel!"
What little angel? Liu Wangxue's face was full of doubts. She was worried that Youyou had really fallen somewhere, so she quickly took out her cell phone to make a call.
Anding, who was squatting beside her, motioned her to look back.
At the same time Liu Wangxue turned her head, Youyou also left her arms and ran towards Chacha in small steps.
Du Yunxiang followed Cha Cha and asked Liu Wangxue, "How is the child? Is he okay?"
Liu Wangxue and Anding both stood up. She hesitated for a moment and said, "It should be fine."
Then, Youyou stood in front of Chacha, staring at him, and asked, "You are a little angel, right?"
When Youyou suddenly saw Chacha, especially with the misty tears in his eyes, she felt that he really looked like the little angel in the movie that her brother took her to watch! Exactly the same hair, exactly the same eyes, this is clearly the little angel in the movie!
Without waiting for Chacha to answer, Youyou continued, "Little angel, you must have heard me shouting for help, so you brought sister, Pengpeng, Maomao and Guagua to save me, right?"
The three adults standing nearby had no idea why things had suddenly turned this way, and they couldn't help laughing. They tacitly decided to be bystanders and not disturb the child's innocence.
Cha Cha didn't know how to answer Youyou's question. It was true that he came here to save people, because he followed Aunt Liu here, but...
Seeing that Chacha was silent, Youyou asked, "Little angel, why don't you speak?"
Youyou suddenly remembered that in the movies his brother took him to see, the little angels did not speak Mandarin, they spoke English. He could speak English now, which was taught by the foreign teacher. How to say it when asking others to answer?
Youyou tried hard to recall and blurted out to Chacha: "Answer me!"
