For the favor of Mr. Shen

Chapter 11 Moonlight

"Wooooow...you are the first to pick me up."

The joy of going camping washed away the worries about the upcoming school start, Shi Yiqing was excited all night, he couldn't sleep in bed at night, he lay straight and looked at the ceiling.

Early the next morning, Shen Mu dragged Shi Yiqing out of bed, dressed him, washed his face and brushed his teeth, got in the car borrowed by Shen Mu and entrusted Mr. Xiang, and set off on the road.

Shen Mu inquired about the camping location with his colleagues. He had never been there himself, so he had to carefully look at the road signs along the way. After driving for two hours, he finally arrived at the lake.

The lake is not very big, but it is surrounded by mountains and the scenery is excellent. When they arrived, someone had already set up a tent. They were a couple who came to fish and camp by the way.

Shen Mu didn't know how to fish, and didn't bring any equipment, so he thought it would be good to eat, drink, and play here.

Shi Yiqing was sitting on a pony, watching Shen Mu setting up the tent, he was clumsy, made mistakes several times, and refused to let himself help.In the end, the couple saw it, and the man came over to help, and it was quickly fixed.

"Brother, bring your son to play?" the elder brother asked.

Shen Mu smiled and said, "This is my nephew, Ah Qing, come and say hello to uncle."

Shi Yiqing hurried over: "Hi Uncle, thank you Uncle."

"Oh, you're so good. Later, when uncle catches fish, I'll give you two to play with, okay?" The man knelt down and said kindly to Shi Yiqing.

Shi Yiqing's eyes crooked with a smile: "Okay."

He heard Uncle Shen chatting with that uncle, who was also surnamed Shen, but older than Shen Mu, and asked Shi Yiqing to call him Uncle Shen.

Uncle Shen works in the government. Everyone envies him an iron job. He wears rimless glasses. He is tall and thin and looks a bit fierce, but he always speaks softly to Shi Yiqing.

After the tent was set up, Shen Mu and Shi Yiqing began to arrange the barbecue equipment they brought.

Shen Mu brought a lot of ingredients and a small barbecue grill, planning to barbecue here at night, and eat the bento brought by Shen Mu at noon.

Things were placed on the blanket, Shen Mu took a box of fruit and said to Shi Yiqing, "Ah Qing, take this box of fruit to Uncle Shen."

"Oh..." Shi Yiqing is a little shy, he can be more generous when Shen Mu is around, and when Shen Mu is not around, he doesn't talk to unfamiliar adults at all.

But if Uncle Shen told me to go, I had to listen to him.

Holding the fruit box in both hands, he walked slowly over there, unconsciously trying to delay the time.Uncle Shen saw him when he was near the lake, and enthusiastically beckoned him to come over.

"Uncle Shen." Shi Yiqing ran close and handed him the fruit: "Uncle Shen asked me to give you some fruit to eat."

"Thank you, it's great." Uncle Shen patted his head, turned to his wife and said, "Honey, this is the child I just told you about."

The woman was wearing loose clothes, her long curly hair was neatly tied on top of her head, she looked clean and capable, she squatted down and looked at Shi Yiqing at the same level: "What's your name?"

Shi Yiqing said: "My name is Shi Yiqing, and my nickname is Ah Qing."

"That's nice." The woman smiled.

"My father named me."

Both couples laughed and said, "Dad must love you very much."

Shi Yiqing nodded proudly, saying that he was going back for a rest, and Uncle Shen said that if he wanted to go fishing, he would come to them.

Since Shi Yiqing didn't sleep well last night, he became sleepy after lunch, so Shen Mu asked him to take a nap in the tent, while he tossed around outside, chatting with Brother Shen and his wife.

The birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, and the air was fresh and quiet. Shi Yiqing slept for three hours, and woke up at three or four o'clock in the afternoon.When he climbed out of the tent, he saw Shen Mu standing guard outside, weaving a garland in his hands.

It is very reassuring.

"Are you awake?" Shen Mu waved at him, pulled him into his arms and rubbed his eyes, "Uncle will take you to wash your face."

Shen Mu brought him a small towel, and wiped him briefly after soaking it by the lake. Uncle Shen was fishing nearby, and there were already several fish in the fishing net by the lake.

Seeing Shi Yiqing sizing up the fish, Uncle Shen said, "Do you want it?"

Shi Yiqing tilted his head and said nothing, he wanted it, but he knew it was bad to ask for something from others.

Shen Mu smiled, exchanged expressions with Big Brother Shen, and said to Shi Yiqing: "You can ask for it, but we should repay the benefits we receive from others. What do you think should be done?"

Shi Yiqing thought for a while and said, "I'll beat Uncle Shen's shoulders."

This is the exchange that Xiao Shi Yiqing asked for benefits from his father. At this moment, he remembered and looked at Uncle Shen expectantly.

Uncle Shen laughed loudly and said yes.

Shi Yiqing looked at Shen Mu, as if asking for his permission.

Children don't have any strength and skills, and beating adults' backs is nothing more than adults amusing children. He said to Brother Shen: "Brother, it happens that we brought a barbecue grill and a lot of meat. Let's have barbecue with us tonight."

"Okay! Just grill two fish!"

The matter was settled like this, and there were still a few hours left. Shen Mu took Shi Yiqing around, picked wild peaches in the woods, and found a few bayberry trees. Although the taste was not good, the process of picking Very happy.

It’s just that the mosquitoes in this forest are very poisonous. When adults and children come back, they are all wrapped up, and it’s useless to apply the medicine. They can only wait for the poison to go down by themselves.

In the evening, I had a barbecue with Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen. Shi Yiqing personally picked a big fish. After Uncle Shen went to the shore to handle it, Shen Mu marinated it with barbecue ingredients and grilled it on the grill.

The light in the field relies on car lights and flashlights, and the flashlights soon ran out of power. The two families went to the lake to wash up briefly and then returned to their respective tents.

Shi Yiqing and Shen Mu's bodies were inside the tent, and their heads were outside the tent, watching the starry sky quietly.

The lake is sparkling under the moonlight, the evening breeze is gentle, and the stars are shining. I feel very satisfied without talking.

Shi Yiqing rested on Shen Mu's arm, feeling at ease.

"Uncle Shen, mother said that people go to heaven after death, right?"

Shen Mu thought for a while: "That's right, good people can go to the sky and become stars looking at their loved ones in the sky."

Shi Yiqing: "Then dad is looking at me now?"

"Well, Ah Qing, hurry up and find out where Dad is?"

"Hmm..." Shi Yiqing blinked his eyes and searched for a long time, earnestly searching, finally exclaimed and pointed to the brightest star and said, "That's it, Dad is there!"

Shen Mu looked over and found it without any effort. He knew the star, it was Fomalhaut, the main star of the Antarctic Pisces constellation.

He looked at it for a while, then squeezed Shi Yiqing's arm and said, "If you miss Dad in the future, you can look at the stars and talk to him."

I rushed home the next morning to prepare things for school.

Tomorrow is Monday, the day Shi Yiqing starts school.

Even if Shi Yiqing didn't tell Shen Mu his worries, all his thoughts were on his face, and Shen Mu tested him at dinner and asked him if he was worried about something.

Shi Yiqing held back and didn't say anything, during the half a year at his grandfather's house, Shi Yiqing developed a habit of not bothering adults.

No matter what it is, try not to say it if you can, otherwise the adults will find this child very annoying.

After holding back for a while, Shi Yiqing was still crying when he arrived at the school gate the next day.

"What's wrong? Can you tell uncle?" Shen Mu was also worried.

Shi Yiqing only cried for a minute and then stopped, he just wanted to vent too much, shook his head and said it was okay, he just felt very strange.

"Don't be afraid, okay. Uncle Shen is there for everything. You listen to the teacher at school. Lin Lian is also in this school. You can go to play with her. I'll pick you up as soon as school is over, okay?"

Shen Mu helped him wipe away his tears, hugged him distressedly and coaxed him for a long time before leading him into the school and finding the class.

Lin Lian was a child who was eager for school to start, and his friends could play together again after school started, so he came to school early in the morning, saw Shi Yiqing and Shen Mu in the corridor, and ran out to find them.

"Ah Qing! You are here! Are we in the same class?" Lin Lian asked while holding Shi Yiqing's other hand.

Shen Mu said: "There are too many people in your class, so we've arranged them to the side, not far away. The two of you can play together after class."

Shi Yiqing's eyes almost turned red again, he hated the class break the most, those people would gather together to tease him and purposely say bad things in front of his face.

Excited, Lin Lian pulled Shi Yiqing to his class. Lin Lian's heroine was very active in school, and she knew the people in the next class well.

Shen Mu looked at Shi Yiqing who was unwilling to be dragged away by Lin Lian, and couldn't feel relieved, but he could only shout behind him: "Ah Qing, I'll pick you up as soon as I get off work!"

Shen Mu left.

As a new student, Shi Yiqing didn't know where he was sitting, and stood by the door dryly. As soon as Lin Lian entered, two girls came up to talk to her. Now the chat was full of enthusiasm, and he didn't notice that Shi Yiqing was holding his hands in fear. The strap of the schoolbag was too tight to let go.

"Are you a new classmate?"

Shi Yiqing raised his head, subconsciously took a step back and hit the wall: "Yes."

This is a boy with watermelon hair and glasses. He is fat and white and wears glasses. He speaks like a little adult with his chin raised slightly, but his voice is grandma's, much softer than Shi Yiqing's.

"I'm the monitor, Zhang Liang."

"Hello, squad leader." Shi Yiqing still lowered his head.

Zhang Liang was entrusted by the teacher to take a new classmate with him. Last semester, a new classmate was very naughty. He helped him by himself and laughed at himself for being fat and having a girlish voice, which made him not as enthusiastic when he saw the new classmate now. up.

But this little melon looks quite obedient, Zhang Liang felt relieved, and said that I will take you to find a seat.

Shi Yiqing looked at Lin Lian, and called her softly, "Lin Lian, Lin Lian."

"Ah?" Lin Lian came back to his senses, saw their class monitor was there, and quickly jumped off the desk: "What's the matter?"

Shi Yiqing: "The squad leader said to take me to find a seat."

Lin Lian: "Okay, class is about to start, I'll come to you between classes!"

On the first day of school, there is no class. The teacher distributed textbooks and introduced new students to everyone. After everyone applauded and welcomed them, they cleaned up and studied by themselves.

Compared with the current classmates, Shi Yiqing looks really much shorter. Most of the classmates in the class are taller than him. The teacher rearranged the seats. Thin classmates sit together.

It was agreed that Lin Lian would come to find him, but on the first day of school, Lin Lian had already gone crazy, running around like a courtesan, and only came to give him an ice cream during recess in the afternoon.

Shi Yiqing remained silent and doodled on the notebook. No one bullied him, and no one paid attention to him.

The feeling of being excluded from the crowd reappeared, Shi Yiqing felt aggrieved, and in his heart he only looked forward to returning home after school.

I miss Uncle Shen.

In the afternoon, the teacher came to assign homework for everyone, and said that everyone should learn English letters during the summer vacation, and write the upper and lower case of English letters silently tomorrow.

Shi Yiqing panicked immediately. The village primary school doesn't teach English at all.

After persisting for a whole day, it was finally time to leave school. The teacher told everyone to go home immediately after school and not to play on the road. Then, with an order, the students rushed out with their schoolbags on their backs.

At this time, Shi Yiqing couldn't care less about being shy, and trotted out with his classmates.But I was still worried, what if Uncle Shen hadn't arrived yet.

After leaving the teaching building, he saw the school gate from a distance. Shi Yiqing glanced roughly and saw the tall and mighty Shen Mu. He was still wearing the factory's dark blue overalls, which were dirty with engine oil, but his hands and face Washed very well.

There were too many people when they ran to the school gate, the teacher organized the order so that everyone would not be crowded and walked out slowly, Shi Yiqing stopped and walked out slowly.

After seeing Shen Mu smiling and waving at him, the emotions that had been suppressed for a day finally broke out, his nose was sore, but he didn't dare to cry, he held back desperately, his little face was flushed from holding back.

Finally walking out of the school gate, Shen Mu was waiting beside the big iron gate, and immediately picked him up and hugged him.

"Woooooh, Uncle Shen..." Shi Yiqing buried his face on Shen Mu's shoulder and couldn't help crying.

Shen Mu caressed his back: "Uncle is here, he was waiting for you at the door very early."

"Hmm...you are the first to pick me up."
