That afternoon, I was leisurely watching TV at home when I suddenly heard a familiar laugh outside the door. I quickly got up to look, and it turned out that my cousin had come with her mischievous son, Xiaojie. I opened the door in surprise, but I was a little worried.
As soon as my cousin saw me, she took my hand affectionately and said, "Oh, long time no see!" Today we came to see you. I looked at Xiaojie's naughty eyes, and secretly complained in my heart, this kid is a well-known troublemaker, and my peace today is in vain.
Sure enough, as soon as he entered the house, Xiaojie looked around and touched this and that curiously. I was afraid that he would ruin my beloved collection, so I nervously followed him. My cousin sat on the sofa and was doing the homework with me.
Suddenly, Xiaojie's eyes lit up and he found my study. He ran over excitedly, and I hurried to follow, for fear that he would mess up my book. I said nervously, "Xiaojie, you can't go in, there are important things inside." ”
"What's that? Let me see! Xiaojie said unwillingly.
"I really can't look at it, you are obedient, I will bring you something delicious." I tried to tempt him with good food.
At this moment, my cousin came over and said with a smile: "Xiaojie, you listen to your uncle, don't make trouble." After saying that, she gave me a look that meant to reassure me.
I nodded helplessly, thinking: Well, since you said so, I'll believe you once. Then, I turned around and went to the kitchen to prepare the fruit.
When I returned to the living room with the fruit, I was stunned by the scene in front of me: Xiaojie actually turned the drawer in my study upside down and threw things on the ground. I was so angry that I was about to have a seizure, but my cousin preemptively said, "Oh, the child is not sensible, don't worry about him." I'll clean it up for you. ”
Seeing my cousin's apologetic face, I held back the anger in my heart and silently began to tidy up. At this time, Xiaojie suddenly said: "Uncle, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. ”
I looked at his sincere eyes, and my heart suddenly softened, and I said, "It's okay, pay attention next time." ”
After tidying up the study, we went back to the living room. My cousin said with emotion: "Time flies so fast, we are all old in a flash, and the children are so old." ”
I nodded and said, "Yes, time waits for no one, we have to cherish every time we get together." ”
In the time that followed, we talked a lot about the past and laughed a lot. Although Xiaojie was a little naughty, this time my cousin brought the child to visit, which made me feel the warmth of family affection.
In the evening, my cousin left with Xiaojie. I escorted them to the door and waved goodbye. Looking at their backs, I had mixed feelings in my heart, both reluctance and a little emotion.
Closing the door, I returned home and regained my former peace. However, the fond memories of this reunion will remain in my heart forever.
As the days passed, my life returned to its former peace. That weekend, I was watering the flowers in the yard when suddenly my phone rang, it was my cousin's number. I picked it up, and my cousin on the other end of the phone said excitedly: "Brother, Xiaojie and I are going to the flower market near your house, let's go out for a walk together!" ”
I smiled and agreed, my heart warm. I've been missing that little trickster a little since they were here last time.
The flower market is bustling with colorful flowers. My cousin took Xiaojie and the three of us strolled through the flower market and enjoyed this wonderful weekend.
"Uncle, look at this flower, it's so beautiful!" Xiaojie pointed to a red rose and said.
I smiled and replied, "Yes, it's beautiful." If you like it, your uncle will buy it and give it to you. ”
Xiaojie shook his head and said, "No need, I just think it's good-looking." Mom said that you don't have to have it if you like it, just look at it. ”
I looked at Xiaojie in surprise, I didn't expect him to understand this truth at such a young age. My cousin smiled on the side and said, "This kid is sometimes so sensible that it makes people feel distressed. ”
We walked around and finally stopped in front of a small stall. The stall owner is a kind old man who recommended us a very special plant.
"This plant is called the 'Happiness Tree', which symbolizes the happiness of the family." The old man said.
My cousin's eyes lit up and she said, "Then let's buy a pot, and I wish both of us happiness and happiness." ”
I smiled and nodded, and bought the pot of the 'Happiness Tree'. Back at home, we put it on the windowsill in the living room.
In the evening, my cousin and Xiaojie were leaving. I sent them to the door, and Xiaojie suddenly hugged me and said, "Uncle, I will miss you." ”
My eyes were hot, and I patted his head gently: "Uncle will miss you too, come and play next time." ”
Looking at their distant backs, I felt a lot of emotion in my heart. This reunion made me realize the importance of family affection more deeply.
Closing the door, I went back to the living room, looked at the pot of 'happiness tree', and silently made a wish in my heart: I hope we can all be happy and cherish every gathering.
As night fell, I sat on the couch and remembered everything about today. Although life is full of unknowns and uncertainties, as long as we have love in our hearts and cherish the people around us, happiness will always accompany us. I smiled, felt the warmth, and slowly closed my eyes.
One morning, a few days later, I was still asleep when the phone rang and woke me up. I picked up my phone and saw that it was my cousin's phone. My heart tightened, could it be that something happened when I called so early?
"Brother, can you come over for a moment? Xiao Jie he ...... He's gone. There was a cry in my cousin's voice.
I immediately came to my senses and hurriedly asked, "Why is it gone?" Where are you? I'll go right over. ”
Hanging up, I hurriedly got dressed and drove to my cousin's house. Along the way, I was anxious, Xiaojie is so small, what if I encounter any danger?
When I arrived at my cousin's house, I saw my cousin anxiously walking around the living room, and my cousin-in-law was also on the phone. I walked over and comforted them: "Don't worry, Xiaojie is so smart, it's going to be fine." ”
I went out with them to find Xiaojie. We asked the neighbors around us and went to the places where Xiaojie frequented, but we couldn't find them. As the minutes passed, our hearts became heavier and heavier.
Just when we were about to despair, a neighbor told us that he saw Jay go to a nearby park alone. We hurried to the park and finally found Jay on a meadow.
When Xiaojie saw us, he immediately cried: "Mom, Dad, uncle, I can't find my way home." ”
The cousin rushed over and hugged Xiaojie, tears welling up in her eyes: "Silly boy, how can you run around alone?" ”
I walked over and patted Xiaojie lightly on the shoulder: "It's okay, Xiaojie, we're all here." ”
When we got home, we were all exhausted. Xiaojie was also much quieter after a false alarm. In the evening, I accompanied Xiaojie to tell stories in his room.
"Uncle, did I do something wrong today?" Xiaojie asked me in a low voice.
I smiled and replied, "No, Jay." It's normal that you're just curious about the outside world. However, be sure to tell Mom and Dad later and don't let them worry. ”
Xiaojie nodded and hugged me tightly: "Uncle, thank you." ”
That night, I accompanied Xiaojie to sleep, but my heart was full of thoughts. This experience has made me more aware that the safety of my loved ones is the most important thing.
In the days that followed, Jay became more sensible, and he began to learn to take care of others rather than just his own curiosity. And I cherish the time with my cousin's family even more, and every time I get together, I feel full of happiness.
Time passed quietly like flowing water, Xiaojie gradually grew up, and our relationship became closer and closer. Under our careful care, the 'Tree of Happiness' has grown strongly, just like our family affection, which has withstood the test of time and become more and more tenacious and precious. And our lives, too, continue to move forward in these ordinary and warm days, full of hope and love.
The days passed slowly in plainness and warmth, and my relationship with my cousin's family became closer. As Xiaojie grew up, his smartness and liveliness made me like him more and more. And that pot of 'happiness tree' has also grown vigorously under our common care and has become a beautiful landscape in our lives.
One day, I was sorting out books at home when I suddenly received a call from my cousin. There was a hint of excitement in her voice: "Brother, come on, Xiaojie's school is going to hold a theatrical evening, and he has a show to perform!" ”
I immediately put down what I was doing and rushed to school. On stage, Xiaojie was wearing a cute performance costume, he stood on the stage and started to perform with confidence. His singing voice is clear and melodious, and his dance moves are skillful, which won bursts of applause from the audience. I looked at Xiaojie on the stage, and my heart was full of pride and joy.
After the performance, I walked up and gave Xiaojie a big hug: "Xiaojie, you are awesome!" ”
Xiaojie smiled, his eyes flashed with pride: "Uncle, I will work harder in the future and strive for better results!" ”
I nodded and encouraged him, "Come on, Xiaojie!" Uncle believes you can do it! ”
As the days passed, Xiaojie made great progress in his studies and life. Not only did he excel in his studies, but he also learned to care for others and learn to be grateful. And I, in the process of growing up with him, have gained endless happiness and touching.
On a sunny weekend, my cousin suggested that we go on a picnic in the countryside. We took Xiaojie and brought food to a grassy hillside. We spread out picnic mats, set up delicious food, and laughter echoed through the mountains.
Xiaojie ran excitedly on the grass, while my cousin and I sat on picnic mats, watching Xiaojie's cheerful figure and chatting about family life. The sun shines on our body, warm and pleasant.
"Brother, look, how sensible Xiaojie is now! We really want to thank you for accompanying him as he grows. The cousin said with emotion.
I smiled and replied, "This is what I should do, and I feel very happy to be able to watch Xiaojie grow up." ”
We had a lovely afternoon that day. As the sun sets, we pack our things and go home satisfied. On the way home, Xiaojie leaned on my arms and fell asleep sweetly.
Looking at Xiaojie's peaceful sleeping face, my heart was full of gratitude. I am grateful to life for giving me such a lovely child the opportunity to witness his growth and share his joys, sorrows, and sorrows. And I know that in the days to come, I will continue to accompany him and spend every beautiful moment together.
