When Xu Xiaochen walked into his courtyard, Liu Jinzhi had already returned.
"Little Chen, you bought this little bird from Hong Tieshan's house, right? Someone saw you go over there just now.”
"Yes."
Xu Xiaochen nodded and led Lin Xiaoyu into the brick house. He did not know how to explain it to his mother.
When Liu Jinzhi walked into the living room, Xu Xiaochen had already placed the birdcage on the coffee table.
Lin Xiaoyu and the lark chirped together.
Liu Jinzhi saw the brown bag and smiled."Son, you don't have to give alcohol or tobacco when you buy a lark. You can buy it with money. Or could it be that you went to give Hong Tieshan a gift, but he didn't accept it?”
"Mom, actually, I went to find my master. I want to learn fighting techniques from Hong Tieshan. Bruce Lee is so powerful.”
"Bruce Lee,'Fierce Dragon Crossing the River', that's really amazing. But Hong Tieshan's left leg is a little lame. Why don't you let Shen Kun teach you a few moves? That way, it will be easier to beat other children to tears.”
Liu Jinzhi also knew that Hong Tieshan was a veteran of the Vietnam War, but she didn't think that Hong Tieshan, who was over 40 years old and had a slight limp in his left leg, was very good at fighting in reality.
"Mom, there was once when I went to Chaoyang District to play. I heard that Hong Tieshan was very good at fighting. He could fight twenty people alone.”
"One against twenty? Your father can fight five or six people, and Shen Kun can only fight ten people at most. The other party can't be too strong. Nowadays, there were almost no one-on-one fights. They were all group fights with equipment! Sigh, I'm really crazy. Why am I talking to a child like you? Xu Xiaochen, I order you to put the lark in the yard and do your homework. Let Xiaoyu supervise you!”
Liu Jinzhi was really a little unhappy.
Xu Xiaochen couldn't continue to analyze. He hung the birdcage on the wire in the yard and took Lin Xiaoyu to his room.
"Xiao Chen, you're unhappy. I'm also very sad. Let me see your lyrics.”Lin Xiaoyu's phoenix eyes twinkled as she said sweetly.
Xu Xiaochen found the lyrics book and handed it to Lin Xiaoyu.
At that time, they had exchanged prizes. Xu Xiaochen's lyrics were originally from Lin Xiaoyu's third-place kraft paper book.
"Xiao Chen, you only wrote your name in the lyrics book and didn't copy the lyrics. Don't you like my prize?”
"I like it. I haven't had the time to copy the lyrics yet. I'll copy them today. Xiao Yu, what do you want my first song to be?”
"Xiao Yu hopes that Xiao Chen will be a dashing boy in 'A Chic Way'.”
"Alright."
When Xu Xiaochen copied the lyrics, he used semi-cursive, which was what Lin Xiaoyu and Zhang Caixia saw.
"Xiao Chen, why didn't you use regular script for your own lyrics, but you used regular script for copying the lyrics for me?”
"Because you are Xiao Yu, I have to be dedicated to copying the lyrics for you. My lyrics book should be written more elegantly, so that I look more like a man.”
"Yes!"
Lin Xiaoyu agreed.
In the living room.
Liu Jinzhi temporarily put away his cigarettes and alcohol and leaned on the sofa to watch TV. He was thinking about his son's actions.
"Although Little Chen is mischievous, he is a very sensible child. Perhaps Hong Tieshan, who has fought in the war, is really a combat expert.”
Today, her husband was busy with the iron mine in the Beiguan Kuangqu, so Liu Jinzhi did not call him for the time being.
Looking at the time, it was time to make lunch. Liu Jinzhi went to Xu Xiaochen's room."Children, what do you want to eat for lunch?”
"I'm not eating."
Xu Xiaochen seemed to be starting to get angry.
"Auntie Liu, I want to go to hotpot."
"Xiao Yu, Auntie Liu will take you out for hotpot.”
"Auntie Liu, what if Xiao Chen stays at home and gets hungry? Xiao Yu, please take Xiao Chen out for hotpot.”
"Alright then."
Liu Jinzhi pinched Xu Xiaochen's ear." Xiaochen, do you know what happens when you get angry with your mother?”
"I won't be angry anymore."
Xu Xiaochen thought to himself,'Actually, the outcome of being angry with my mother is not very scary. If I'm wronged, my mother will make me happy.'
They went to the most upscale hotpot restaurant in the Lotus District.
While they were eating hotpot in the private room, Xu Xiaochen said,""Mom, today Auntie Chen said that she had no money after eating bean jelly and fried pancakes at the temple fair last June.”
"It seems like there really is such a thing."
As Liu Jinzhi said this, his attention turned to Lin Xiaoyu." Xiaoyu, eat slowly. The sesame sauce has gotten on your clothes. Auntie Liu will help you wipe it off."”
Liu Jinzhi helped Lin Xiaoyu wipe the sesame sauce on her sleeve, then looked at Xu Xiaochen." Hong Tieshan's daughter-in-law, Chen Xiuling. It's said that she had cerebral hemorrhage before she got married, which affected her brain. Her reaction is slower, but she's also a good woman. I also heard that Hong Tieshan and Chen Xiuling were old neighbors when they lived in Chaoyang District. They were childhood sweethearts who grew up together. Later, Hong Tieshan went to the front line…"
Liu Jinzhi began to put meat and vegetables into the hotpot, then put some mutton into Lin Xiaoyu's sesame sauce bowl." Hong Tieshan came back alive from the Laoshan frontline. His left leg was crippled, and he later got married to Chen Xiuling. They're both loyal people. But this couple doesn't like to interact with others, and I don't know their temper. You went to acknowledge your master as your master, but he returned the gift. He gave you a lark as a repayment for the money I spent on the bean jelly cake.”
"It's like this."
"What does a child like you know? Hurry up and eat." Liu Jinzhi glared at Xu Xiaochen angrily.
After returning to the brick house from the hotpot restaurant, Liu Jinzhi went to the shop while Xu Xiaochen and Lin Xiaoyu played with the lark in the yard.
"Xiao Chen, will your lark grow bigger than a birdcage?”
Xu Xiaochen did not know what to say, but Lin Xiaoyu was looking at him blankly, then at the lark.
"Xiao Yu, larks are always so small. They're not eagles, so they can't be as big as a birdcage.”
"That's good. We've eaten hotpot. What should we give the lark?”
"I'll go look for it."
When Xu Xiaochen and Lin Xiaoyu were feeding the lark, Zhang Caixia arrived.
"Xiao Yu, I came to look for you just now. I heard that your Auntie Liu brought you and Xiao Chen to a restaurant. What delicious food did you eat?”
"Hotpot."
"Yes."
Zhang Caixia brushed Lin Xiaoyu's hair and looked at the lark." Little Chen, don't feed the lark so much water. Just a little will do." When Baodong was alive…"
Zhang Caixia didn't continue, and tears flashed in her eyes." This lark is cute. It's just that it's too aggrieved to be locked in a cage. Let it go?”
"We can't let it go. Xiao Yu and I like it.”
Xu Xiaochen looked at Zhang Caixia unwillingly.
Zhang Caixia couldn't help but laugh." Such a lark has to be kept in a cage. It doesn't know how to find food on its own. If it's really released, it might not survive."”
Zhang Caixia brought Lin Xiaoyu home to wash her clothes.
Xu Xiaochen was too lazy to tease the lark. He sat on the bench alone and pondered. What should he do to get Hong Tieshan to teach him fighting techniques?
