After making up her mind, Qing'er hurriedly walked home. Zhui'er, who was not sure what was going on, trotted behind with an ominous premonition, while the puppy jumped up and down like a rabbit chasing after Zhui'er.
When Zhui'er returned home, he saw that his mother had already found an ax and headed toward the backyard. Now he understood what her mother was going to do, and he was so anxious that he chased after her while shouting "Mother! Mother! Mother!"
Qing'er ignored her son and came to the peach tree. When she came to the peach tree, Zhui'er had already caught up with her. Zhui'er grabbed her mother's lapel and pulled her back hard, crying and begging, "Mom, don't chop, don't chop!" The puppy
It jumped around at Zhuo'er's feet and let out milky barks.
"We have to cut it!" Qing'er said to Zhui'er with a majestic look, and then pushed away his little hand that was holding the hem of her clothes.
"Mom! Mom!" Zhui'er shouted twice anxiously and fearfully, then ran to the peach tree, touched the thick trunk with her little hands, looked at Qing'er with pleading eyes and said, "Mom, it lets me touch it.
, it made me touch it!”
When Qing'er wanted to persuade her son, her mother-in-law's voice came over, "What are you two arguing about?" ??
Qing'er hurriedly winked at her son, then turned to her mother-in-law who came to the courtyard and said, "It's nothing, I just think... this peach tree is a bit of an obstruction. I want to cut it down, but Zhui'er won't agree."
The mother-in-law lowered her face and said, "Your grandpa planted this tree. It has been here for almost forty years. Hongshi and his father both grew up eating the peaches from this tree. How can you just chop it down?"
If you want to cut it, you should say hello to us first."
Being scolded by her mother-in-law, Qing'er calmed down and said with a smile, "Don't be angry, I'm so angry. It's all Zhui'er's fault. He almost killed himself for this puppy."
Running away frightened me so much that I suppressed evil fire and did such a reckless thing."
When Zhui'er heard what her mother said, she timidly glanced at her grandma and then at her mother, then lowered her head and twisted her fingers. When the puppy saw everyone looking at her, it timidly hid behind Zhui'er.
He didn't dare to say anything behind his feet.
"Where did Zhui'er get this puppy?" her mother-in-law asked curiously.
Qing'er didn't dare to let Zhui'er tell the truth, and hurriedly replied, "He saw the little wild dog that came from nowhere, so he chased it and picked it up."
"Oh..." The mother-in-law took a look at the peach tree and warned, "If you want to cut down this tree, just discuss it with Hong Shi and his father. I think it's better not to cut down this tree."
"Well, okay." Qing'er dropped the ax in her hand.
The mother-in-law was a little dissatisfied with Qing'er's answer. According to her opinion, Qing'er should immediately express her position and stop chopping. Hongshi and his father are both mouthless gourds. If Qing'er is really determined to chop down this tree, this man will
The two of them probably couldn't stop each other. She herself didn't want to get on bad terms with others, so she could only talk about this, so she sighed and went back.
Qing'er waited for her mother-in-law to leave, then pursed her lips and looked at the peach tree again.
Zhui'er cautiously came to her mother's side, raised her little face and looked at her, and gently pulled down the skirt of her clothes with her little hands.
Qing'er knelt down knowingly, and Zhui'er immediately leaned into her ear and whispered, "It really lets me touch it. Mom, please stop cutting it."
Qing'er felt distressed by her son's sensibleness. She picked her son up and whispered in his ear, "Are you lying to your mother?"
Zhui'er shook her head vigorously, then mysteriously leaned into Qing'er's ear and said, "I didn't lie to you, it just let me touch it, and it seemed like it was about to cry."
Qing'er involuntarily hugged her son and took two steps back.
She looked at the peach tree with vigilant eyes. Her son was not very good at telling lies at such a young age, and she believed that his son would not lie to her.
"Mom, I want to play with it, don't chop it." Zhui'er begged with her little mouth curled up, looking like she was about to cry.
"Do you like to play with it?" Qing'er asked, staring at her son.
"Yeah!" Zhui'er nodded vigorously.
Qing'er looked at the silver pendant around his neck and felt a little hesitant. She caught a glimpse of a bluestone slab paved in the courtyard. She walked over with her son in her arms, pointed to the slab and asked in a low voice, "You are always staring at it too."
, can it also play with you?"
Zhui'er shook his head, then nodded, and replied softly, "It can't talk, but it can play with me."
"How can it play with you?" Qing'er looked at the bluestone board suspiciously.
"Its...those little strips..." Zhui'er pointed at the bluestone with his little finger, as if he didn't know what to say.
"You mean this kind of pattern?" Qing'er knelt down and pointed at the pattern on the stone slab.
"Well, there's something strange when you look at it."
"What weird thing?" Qing'er stared at the stripes with wide eyes.
"I can't see clearly, there are many, many."
"Can you see it now?" Qing'er looked at her son nervously.
Zhui'er squatted beside the bluestone slab, held his chin with his two small hands, and looked at a line of road attentively.
Qing'er looked at her son anxiously. After a while, she fell into a trance again when she saw him. Apparently, she had forgotten about her mother.
"Zhui'er, Zhui'er."
When Zhui'er heard the call, she raised her head and said, "Mom, I can see you."
"Tell me what you saw." Qing'er couldn't help but lie down and put her eyes close to the stone slab to take a closer look.
"They are so small, smaller than an ant's feet. I can't see them clearly, but I can clearly see there are two small rivers."
Qing'er slowly stood up and said calmly to her son, "Let's go to eat. Don't tell anyone else about these things. Remember?"
"Well, if I don't tell you, will you still chop it down?" Zhui'er pointed at the peach tree with pleading eyes and asked.
"If you don't chop it down, mother won't chop it down anymore." Qing'er smiled and touched her son's head. She had realized that this was not a problem with the peach tree, but with her son himself.
Qing'er didn't really believe that the peach trees could talk, let alone that there were two rivers in the stone slabs, but she didn't dare to tell her husband these things, so she could only bear this worry silently.
The next day, Qing'er sent her son to the river again. After hiding for half an hour as before, she quietly walked over and saw her son looking at the vast river with a look of joy on his face.
Qing'er pretended to be curious and asked, "Zhui'er, what did you see? So happy."
When Zhui'er saw her mother coming to her side at some point, she immediately smiled and said, "I didn't look at anything."
"Then why are you so happy? My mother almost turned into a flower when she saw your little face."
Zhui'er smiled happily and said, "I don't know, anyway... I'm just happy anyway."
"Tell me, how can I be happy?"
Zhui'er frowned in thought and said, "It's like...just like...I can't explain, just like how happy I was to see my mother just now." After making up her mind, Qing'er hurried home, not knowing why.
Zhui'er trotted behind with an ominous premonition, while the puppy jumped up and down like a rabbit chasing after Zhui'er.
When Zhui'er returned home, he saw that his mother had already found an ax and headed toward the backyard. Now he understood what her mother was going to do, and he was so anxious that he chased after her while shouting "Mother! Mother! Mother!"
