Chapter 77

"Dog brother, dog brother ~ ~" when he got home, Li Zitao was the first to look for Wang Dagou.

The two of them are alone in the United States, and the rest of the family is reunited during the holidays.

"Here it is!" Tang costume with red edge and black bottom, brand-new white trousers, white socks, black cloth shoes, Wang Dagou dressed up in a jubilant mood, which called a brilliant smile.

There are two villains standing beside him, one male and one female, one black and one white. They are all dressed in the same way. Look at their awkward expressions, don't mention being so wry.

"Who owns these two children?" Li Zitao asked curiously.

"Didn't you ask ben to deliver it? What kind of boarding Wang Dagou said in surprise.

"Yes, I almost forgot." Li Zitao scratched his head, squatted down and said with a kind smile: "Hi, Hello, can you introduce yourself?"

"Who are you?" The little black boy's vigilance was high, and his eyes were full of precaution.

"My name is Charlie, Charlie Lee, and by law your interim supervisor." Li explained.

“……” Silence, knowing his identity, the two little guys just looked at him with curiosity and resistance, without any intention of getting close.

"Well! Today is the Chinese Spring Festival. You can think of it as Thanksgiving. Do you want to celebrate it together? " Li Zitao asked.

"I don't want to." The little boy shook his head.

“…… Yes The little girl nodded.

Then they looked at each other with hostility in their eyes, as if in silent communication.

"How can you betray our agreement? Hey, we're one."

"Who wants to be with you, I am with myself."

"We said yes, traitor."

"Idiot, get out of here."

“……” Li Zitao is a little speechless. He knew it would be troublesome when he proposed this proposal. Now it is as he expected.

Children who have been thrown into orphanages since childhood and lack of paternal and maternal love have more or less emotional defects in their hearts.

Because of uneasiness, fear, frustration and hurt.

This makes them more defensive than adults, and their hearts are fragile and sensitive.

Perhaps a small detail will make them suffer a great blow and damage. Li Zitao doesn't want to do the metamorphosis of destroying seedlings.

"As the owner of this home, your temporary supervisor, I need to make a few points." Li Zitao clapped his hand to attract their attention.

"First, I want to see you get along well, if only for a short time."

"Second, during the boarding period, you can regard me as your brother. If you have any need, I will try my best to satisfy you."

"Third, no fighting, no swearing, no skipping classes, and no making trouble here, understand?"

Looking at Li Zitao's serious face, although they were reluctant, they still nodded and agreed.

"Now, tell me your names first." Li Zitao said with a satisfied smile.

"Norma Chou." The little blonde girl couldn't wait, her big eyes twinkled with expectation, but more fear.

"Eric." There was no expectation in the little boy's eyes, only resistance and anxiety.

"Very well, Erik. Again, my name is Charlie Lee. You can call me Lee, or Charlie." Li Zitao held out his hand to him.

As soon as Norma's eyes brightened, she stretched out her hand like a fledgling. When her fingers touched the warm palms, she seemed to shrink back as if frightened.

She's afraid, she's scared, she's scared.

I'm afraid of being abandoned again. I'm afraid that what I've got is not warmth, but a heartfelt slap and curse. I'm afraid that I'll be displaced again and flow into one family after another.

Li Zitao did not move, kept smiling, waiting for her to approach again.

It was not until Norma put his trembling little hand in his palm and did not dodge any more, that Li Zitao gently clenched his hand and said, "welcome, Ma."

"Thank you, thank you." Norma's eyes are bright and her tears are rolling down like a curtain of beads. Li Zitao doesn't know what she has experienced.

But judging from her performance, her memory of the past is very bad, no doubt.

Xu's performance made the little boy less resistant and hostile. He just hesitated a little and put out his hand. "Welcome, Eric."

"You still have a way." Wang DACU raised his thumb and said with a smile.

"That goes without saying." Li Zitao stood up with a big, thick palm on the two little guys' heads and rubbed them vigorously, regardless of whether they would like it or not.

"Is the dumpling stuffing ready?" Holding the two little boys who let go a little, Li Zitao and Wang Dagou walked towards home side by side.

"It's ready. It's prepared by Lao Huang's wife." Pushing open the door, Wang Dagou pointed to the porcelain basin covered with cloth on the table.

"What are you waiting for? Wrap it up!" It's getting dark. It's the first new year's Eve after he came to this world. You can't miss it.It's delicious but dumplings. Hey, hey

"Oh, Eric, you can play games or listen to programs in your room." Li Zitao picked up the radio on the high platform.

"I I want to help! " Norma's eyes rolled and asked for help, but she was worried like a frightened fawn.

"And you?" Li Zitao put his hand on Zhen's head, comforted her flustered heart, and turned to Eric.

"That's what women should do." Eric said.

"There are no women here, only girls and men." Li Zitao spread his hands innocently.

"All right." Eric still failed to withstand the pressure in Li Zitao's eyes.

"I can't cure you, little one." Proud to pull Norma to the table, two big two small began to prepare dinner.

When he saw the dumplings made by Norma and Eric, he couldn't even squeeze the skin tightly. Li Zitao began to teach him by hand.

"No, no, just squeeze it hard, like this." The two ends of dumplings are pinched in Hukou with both hands, and the thumbs and index fingers of both hands are clasped tightly. When it is released, a dumpling is pinched into shape.

The top is a beautiful fold corner, the bottom of the skin is filled with dumpling stuffing, thin but not rotten, looks like a small crystal.

Although the step-by-step demonstration has been repeated many times, Norma and Eric still can't learn.

Li Zitao can only attribute this to the fact that Westerners are not naturally suitable for dumpling making, so they can use another method.

"From left to right, it's very tight." Li Zitao holds dumplings in one hand, and pinches the dumpling skin with his thumb and index finger from left to right.

The finished dumpling is like a crescent moon. Looking at the small crescent moon in hand, Norma's beautiful eyes smile into a crescent moon.

Eric lowered his head seriously, clumsily but studied hard. His serious appearance was like completing a rigorous scientific experiment.

"It's finished." After clapping his hands, Li Zitao stretched his waist and said with a smile, "brother dog, I'll give it to you. I'll change my clothes first."

"Go ahead. It's all in your room." Wang Dagou set the pot on the gas stove and lit the water with a match.

"You two, wash your hands and clean up the table." Li said, pointing to the peeling table in the living room.

"Yes." Norma was happy to be able to help.

Upstairs back to the room, a new set of Tang clothes on the bed, neatly folded square.

Most of Li Zitao's clothes are prepared by Lao Huang. Naturally, he can't get his size wrong. His clothes fit him very well.

I don't know if it is the effect of his heart. He just changed his clothes, but he felt a sense of belonging that made him feel at ease Very good. "

Li Zi Tao reached out his hand and touched the silk and satin material and walked downstairs with a bright smile.

"Tao Zi, adjust the dip." Wang Dagou pointed to the bottles and jars on the table, turned his head and poured a ladle of cold water into the pot.

After the tea table had been cleaned up, Li Zitao brought the bottles, jars and small bowls: "do you need them? Some dip. "

"What are these?" Looking at the white or black liquid in the bottle, as well as the red, pungent smell of oil splashing hot, Eric was full of curiosity.

"Vinegar, like lemon juice, soy sauce, very delicious dip, hot pepper, very spicy, very delicious." Li Zitao's mouth slightly cocked, said and dug a spoon into the bowl.

"May I?" Norma held the small bowl in her hands and looked at him timidly.

"Of course, can I help you?" Li Zitao raised the vinegar bottle and said with a smile.

"Yes." Norma nodded her head in a hurry.

After pouring some vinegar and soy sauce, Li Zitao thought about it and added some white water to it. He was afraid that the taste was too strong to bear.

"Try it." Li Zitao hands the bowl to Norma.

Li Zitao swears that he just wants Norma to taste it with chopsticks, but he forgets that Norma and Eric can't use chopsticks at all.

So little Norma took the bowl and looked at the liquid in it in a tangled way. Finally, with her eyes closed, she did it cleanly

"Gudong ~ ~ cough, cough..." Norma choked on spicy noodles, covering her throat and coughing in pain.

"Come on, drink water." Li Zitao couldn't help but put the cup to her mouth. Norma drank the water clean.

Next to Eric, palpitating along his saliva, quietly moved aside, for fear that Li Zitao would let him drink those terrible "magic drugs."

"What's the matter? What's the matter?" Wang Dagou came with the dumplings.

"I gave her a taste of the dip, and the little girl dried up." Li Zitao said with a bitter smile.

"Ha ha, it's OK. When I finished eating dumplings during the Spring Festival as a child, I had to use the dumpling soup to wash and drink the dipping material. At that time, the seasoning was not easy to eat."

Wang Dagou's eyes recalled the words, and recalled the things when he was a child. At that time, his parents were still there, and his grandparents lived in the next village.

It was a hard time at that time. Wang Dagou remembers that before he was 14 years old, he didn't wear his pants. He was covered in a tattered coat and ran around the village barefoot every day.No one is surprised. Most of the dolls in the village are the same from childhood. It would be nice to have a coat covering the body.

There are seven or eight people in some families who don't even have a coat. They just have a suit of clothes. Whoever goes out will wear them, and they will be naked at home.

When he was older, his father's trousers were too worn. His mother bought coarse cloth with two copper coins she had saved at home, and made a new pair of trousers for Dad.

The new trousers are so beautiful that he dare not sit down casually because he is afraid that the material will be worn dirty. He shows off everywhere every day and praises his daughter-in-law's craftsmanship every day.

The old trousers were changed. The holes were patched with the cloth cut from the trousers legs and the leftovers of coarse cloth, and two pieces of sheepskin were nailed to the buttocks to become his trousers.

Although the life is very hard, only once a year to see oil and water, usually also occasionally hungry, Wang Dagou felt that it was the happiest time of his life.

Unfortunately, the war on dog day destroyed all these things. My father, my mother and the village were gone.

When I was a child, the river where I touched shrimp and caught fish was full of blood, and the corpses piled up like a hill. It was a fire, Hua

"That's it." Sitting at the table, Wang Dagou is very happy.

Li Zitao looked at him in silence and didn't understand why he would smile happily. Isn't it miserable enough?

Only Wang Dagou knew that if his parents were still alive, he would be better off living than dying in those years.

Some experiences when the story to listen to, simply can not understand that helpless sense of despair, like a black hole, day and night devour the human heart, tear heart crack lung to empty numbness.
