Chapter 14 The same dream
The little mouse cautiously poked his head out and found that everyone in the room was laughing and eating, and did not notice it. Then he stood up with difficulty by picking up the edge of the bowl and picked up a piece of mutton in the bowl.
Xue Lei watched this scene with his eyes full, and opened his mouth in shock and shouted, "Dad, there is a mouse in this room!"
Xue Lei's voice made the little mouse that had just picked up the piece of meat tremble in fright, and the piece of meat in his mouth immediately fell out. But it didn't care about anything, turned around and quickly got back into the hole.
"What are you yelling about! There is nothing strange about rats." General Xue scolded with a stern face.
Naturally, General Xue had seen this scene a long time ago. He was originally pleased that Long Baoer's good intentions were not wasted, and the little mouse actually came to eat him.
Unexpectedly, the little mouse turned around and was frightened away by his son's roar.
Long Baoer also noticed it. He slipped out of the chair and was a little frustrated when he saw a piece of meat falling on the ground outside.
"Little mouse, come and eat. My uncle and brother will not hurt you."
Only then did Xue Lei realize that he had accidentally done something wrong, and scratched his head uncomfortably.
"Long Bao'er!" General Xue glared at his son, stood up, came to Long Bao'er's side, and picked up the small bowl.
"uncle?"
General Xue pinched the edge of the bowl and heard a click, and a third of it was broken off.
"Oh!" Long Baoer opened his mouth wide and looked at General Xue in disbelief, "Uncle is so awesome!"
General Xue was so praised by his niece that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.
"But why did uncle break the bowl?" Long Baoer asked, tilting his head, "Mother-in-law said it was impossible to break the bowl."
"That's because the little mouse can't reach it." General Xue spent all his patience on the little girl.
As long as he faces Long Baoer, he is in an infinite good mood and is willing to answer any questions. If it had been a few bald boys in the family, they would have been kicked away long ago.
After placing the bowl facing the hole, General Xue stood up and explained, "The little mouse seemed to be injured, so it was difficult to stand up. My uncle broke the bowl into pieces so that it could eat the food inside."
"Ah, so that's it. Uncle is great!" Long Bao'er suddenly realized, applauding General Xue vigorously, "But the little mouse is not injured."
"Huh? What happened to it?" General Xue asked casually, not expecting Long Baoer to answer.
Who knew that Long Baoer was very serious, "That's because she just gave birth to a baby! She needs to eat before she can feed the baby!"
After Long Baoer finished speaking, the Xue family and his son were stunned.
But Xue Lei laughed after a moment, "Long Baoer is really awesome, everyone knows this."
General Xue also nodded, "So that's it. Then let's not disturb it. Let's eat and let it eat. Okay?"
Neither father nor son took Long Baoer's words seriously.
"okay!"
The cold dumplings on the table were quickly cleared away by the Xue family and his son, and soon the waiter brought hot dumplings fresh from the pan.
And next to the hole in the corner, the little mouse who had been carefully observing the outside breathed a sigh of relief like a human being. He came to the edge of the bowl at the entrance of the hole and bit into a peeled chestnut.
This time no one disturbed it.
Even though the Xue family father and son noticed the little mouse's movements from the corner of their eyes, they did not disturb it.
The little mouse was completely relieved. He first took some food in his mouth to fill himself up, and then nursed the children. After the mice were full and fell asleep, he took the remaining food in the bowl into his nest little by little.
After everything was emptied, the exhausted little mouse returned to his nest and fed the pink and tender mouse pups in the nest again.
I can't say that this food is enough to survive for a whole winter, but at least it can keep them alive for a long time.
When the little mouse emptied the food, General Xue was also preparing to coax Long Baoer to sleep.
Seeing the bowl empty with keen eyes, General Xue patted the little girl and said, "Long Bao'er, look!"
"Wow, the little mice have all moved out of food!" the little girl whispered in surprise.
"Well, let's give them another handful of peanuts. These can be stored for a while, enough for them to survive the winter."
Although General Xue doesn't like mice, as long as his little niece likes it, he can do it!
He and the little girl stuffed the remaining fried peanuts with skin into the mouse holes one by one. They both sighed happily, "Okay, let's go to bed!"
"Okay!" The little girl was happily carried to bed by General Xue.
That night, both uncle and nephew had the same dream.
In the dream, a little mouse bowed to them. Beside the little mouse, there were several pink mice about the size of peanuts.
When General Xue woke up in the morning, he still clearly remembered this dream.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, I was stunned for a moment, then shook my head and laughed. I felt that I had really thought too much. How could this be possible?
Because I was delayed in my trip yesterday, I set off immediately as soon as Director Ma came back.
Long Baoer hadn't woken up at that time, and was tightly wrapped up by Xue Lei, carried into the carriage, and stuffed into a warm quilt.
When the little girl woke up, they had already advanced for almost an hour.
"Brother, why am I on the carriage?" Long Baoer rubbed his eyes and said a little sleepily.
"We set off early today. My brother brought me here for you." Xue Lei said with a smile, "Are you hungry?"
Long Baoer put his hands into the quilt and touched his belly, nodded, "It's a little bit."
Xue Lei smiled unconsciously, brought warm water to the little girl to rinse her mouth, and wiped her hands.
"Brother, let me do a trick for you."
"Brother, what is a trick?" Long Baoer blinked and asked in confusion.
"The trick is..." Xue Lei put his hand into Long Baoer's quilt and took out two hard-boiled eggs.
General Xue asked the store to prepare this in the morning. When it was warm, he stuffed it into Long Baoer's quilt.
So it still maintains a certain temperature.
But this frightened Long Baoer. His little face was full of surprise. He looked at Xue Lei in disbelief and then at the egg in Xue Lei's hand. "Brother, brother, is this the egg laid by Long Baoer?" ?”
Xue Lei never expected that Long Baoer would say such a thing, and he immediately fell down laughing on her little bed, shaking non-stop for a long time.
Long Baoer was frightened, "Brother, brother, what's wrong with you?"
The little girl didn't know what happened to Xue Lei, so she struggled to open the button on the window and asked for help.
Xue Lei reached out and took her little hand, "Brother is okay, it's okay."
After tucking the little girl back into the bed, Xue Lei still wanted to laugh a little and couldn't help but make his lips tremble.
It took a long time before Xue Lei returned to normal, grabbed an egg and cracked it open on the carriage.
Long Baoer was stunned for a moment and burst out crying, "Brother, why did you break my baby--"
