As the days go by, this year's autumn seems to have come too early. The hot summer has just passed, and the autumn wind is bleak, the branches and leaves are broken, and the cold current is surging.
Ping An, who is about to turn eight, has lost his baby fat after so many years of exercise. Especially in this summer, he has grown taller and has now become a little man.
He is over 1.3 meters tall, with a childish, fair face with a little baby fat, and he looks cold and handsome when silent. Under his slanted, handsome eyebrows, there is a pair of beautiful big eyes that often sparkle with innocent and happy light, and the sharp and steady look in his eyes is also hidden by his eyelashes like feather fans.
The high nose, the slightly pursed lips, the angular outline, the modified military uniform, and the red armbands all show off his excellence.
At this time, he had just come out of the classroom to meet up with his childhood friend. A little girl holding a quotation book ran over hurriedly and shouted loudly before she had time to catch her breath.
"Student Zhang Mingxuan, wait a minute."
Ping An looked at the other person calmly. The cuffs of the old military uniform that was washed so hard that it looked bleached had uneven stitching. It was another little girl who had altered her parents' military uniform without permission.
"A few of us are going to the city to watch a battle tomorrow. Do you want to come?"
Ping An raised an eyebrow, "Okay."
"Great! I knew you were a good comrade!"
"We are good comrades too! Which class are you from? Which college?"
"Yes, tell me your name."
"Yes, yes, yes, otherwise you won't be able to get close to us brothers tomorrow."
The good comrade glanced anxiously at the few idle buddies around him. As expected, these guys were getting older and, like his uncle Dayong and his group, were starting to get horny.
They'd already been told to go to Chengxi Hutong tomorrow, but why would they go? They probably had another family reported.
Just last week, wasn't a family in the hutong courtyard not far from where his family had let their master stay? It was said that someone had died in that family.
Ping'an caught a glimpse of the old principal who was bending over to clean the playground. A trace of pity flashed across his lowered eyes. He nodded slightly at the girl and kicked a few of his buddies around him.
"Don't leave yet!"
He is the youngest among the five or six young boys. People like Wen Yu already have a vague understanding of the things between men and women, such as finding a partner, hehe.
Ping An has always been popular with his female classmates, and the friends who grew up with him are no longer surprised. What's so strange about that?
Not to mention the senior female students in the school, there are also many little girls in their compound who are eager to become someone else's wife.
On the way home, Ping An saw several people around him winking and laughing, and shook his head nonchalantly. He was so young, he didn't understand this.
Having fun also depends on the occasion. A few people thought that he was still young and bored, so they played and joked for a while, discussing how they would fight tomorrow.
But does it have anything to do with you little brats?
Ping An, who was walking with them, lowered his head and pursed his lips when he heard this. The moment he looked up, he had returned to his normal expression. He occasionally answered a few of their questions and took the time to greet the soldiers and their families who passed by.
Unlike the turbulent outside world, everything was normal inside the compound. But Ping An couldn't help but feel worried and anxious. Could his mother handle the work at work?
After declining the invitations from several friends to visit their homes, Ping An watched Wen Yu leave with them while laughing, and then quickly walked home.
Knowing that there would be no one at home except Aunt Chen at this time, he still wanted to stay at home and wait for the adults to get home from get off work.
——If something happens, there is a phone at home so that we can take action in time.
Besides, he was also worried about his two younger brothers who were still not home from school for a long time. Once Aunt Chen left to pick them up, there would be no one waiting at home.
But unexpectedly, an unexpected scene really happened today...
——Not far from the third gate, the brothers Liuyi and Wuyi were gathered among a group of little girls at this moment.
“…”
"My brother likes fruit candy the most."
Wuyi added, "And chocolate."
Ping An heard the voices of his two younger brothers from a distance, and his mouth twitched when he heard them. "You bastards who betrayed your brother!"
"...What else does your brother like?"
"Badge! He likes badges the most." This is Wuyi's voice.
"My brother likes a lot of things. He also likes red dates. They can be soaked in sugar water and made into red date cakes..."
Before Liuyi could finish his words, Ping'an was so startled that he almost stumbled and fell. It was their mother's good intention, okay? Why was he being blamed for everything?
"Zhou Zihe, Zhou Zihe... hehe..."
With the cry of "Ping'an", the little girls were frightened and ran away in all directions, revealing a pair of brothers who were alone, blinking their big eyes innocently.
"Have you done something bad again?" Ping'an walked over slowly, glanced at the candies in his brothers' hands, pointed at them with his finger, but still couldn't bear to scold them.
Liuyi and Wuyi exchanged a quick glance. This was bad news. They were so angry they both yelled their names! They rushed forward at the same time, one holding Ping An by the arm and swinging him around...
"Brother, I miss you so much."
"We have been waiting for brother for a long time, not for us sisters." Wuyi implied that if they came, he would have no way to deal with them.
"Bad guys, all they do is talk." Ping An took his two younger brothers' hands in his hands, looked them up and down, and felt relieved when he saw that there was nothing unusual.
"Brother, the sisters are so fun."
"Don't take advantage of others anymore, okay? Mom will be furious if she finds out."
Liuyi squeezed his palm and said, "We are just teasing them."
"I know you didn't mean it, but outsiders will say the adults in our family didn't educate their children well. We can't bring shame to our elders, right?"
Liuyi and Wuyi looked at each other and nodded to Ping'an.
"Adults have to work and take care of us at the same time. Aren't they very busy and tired?"
Ping An saw his brothers nod seriously again, smiled, and nodded to the guards and said hello. The other two had already seen what had just happened and were very happy.
Ping An ignored them and walked inside. He held their hands and walked slowly, while continuing to guide them patiently. "So the three of us brothers should supervise each other and remind each other of what we did wrong and how to correct it in the future. Only in this way can we make progress together."
"Brother, I helped grandpa with his back massage and helped grandma with the plates last night."
"I also cleaned my mother's coat this morning and helped the adults polish their shoes."
Ping An gave the two little brothers a look of approval and praised them, "Brother saw it all. You did better than your brother. You are a model baby."
"Brother is also very good and a good baby."
Ping An: “…” I’m an adult, okay?
After washing up and having a snack, the three brothers rested for a while and then ran back upstairs as usual. Following the music coming from the radio, Ping An took out his flute and the twins took out their small drums from their boxes.
Aunt Chen, who was preparing dinner in the kitchen, heard the chorus coming from upstairs and followed the music on the radio, singing the passionate red song loudly.
Ping An's smile grew wider as he played the flute.
Away from the school where I had to stand up every day in class, shout "Long live the Lord", read quotations, and all the noisy calculations...
At the age of eight, he has already learned how to relax.
On the desk, there are neatly folded red sleeves, a foreign language original work not far away, and a yellowed ancient book.
How incongruous all of this happened at the same time, yet so harmonious. So harmonious that even the young twins grew up knowing it all by heart.
