The house finally fell silent.

Only Zhou's father's snoring and the sobbing of mother and son can still be heard clearly.

"Mom doesn't cry, when I grow up, I can protect you. Zhou Jing wiped the tears on Zhou's mother's face with two small hands, leaned his head on his mother's face, and whispered.

But the more Zhou Jing said this, the more Zhou's mother cried, but she didn't dare to cry out loud, for fear that if she woke up her husband who was already asleep, she would be beaten again.

Finally, perhaps because the tears were dry, Zhou's mother stood up with difficulty, "You go to sleep in the house first, and Mom will clean up here." ”

The room was full of broken porcelain, and the tables and chairs had fallen a lot, and every time she was beaten, Zhou's mother had to be responsible for cleaning up the mess, otherwise after waking up the next day, there would be no life in peace.

Zhou Jing shook his head, and then ran back to his room, and when he came out, he had a small first-aid kit in his hand, which contained cotton swabs, red potions and other standing medicines.

In the school's interest class, the classmates in the class all applied for art and cooking, but Zhou Jing was the only one who reported for first aid treatment, and then secretly saved money to buy this first aid kit, which was usually hidden under the bed and could not be known by Zhou's father.

After seeing this first aid kit, Zhou's mother's tears flowed down again, and the tears soaked in the wound, tearing the heart.

Xiao Zhou Jing stood on tiptoe, skillfully helped his mother deal with the wound, and after treatment, he hid the first aid kit back, and then ran out again, just squatting there, holding his chin with both hands, silently watching his mother clean everything, and then returned to his room with his mother.

The mother and son squeezed in Zhou Jing's cot all night, but Zhou's mother swore that after being married for so long, she had never slept soundly like last night, as if what she was holding in her arms was her whole world.

The next morning, Zhou's mother got up on time, made breakfast, and waited for her husband to finish eating before taking Zhou Jing to eat together.

"This weekend, my colleagues came to eat at home, you should pay attention to your emotions, don't cry all day long, and embarrass me!"

Dad Zhou said while changing clothes.

"Also, sign up for another English class for Zhou Jing, let him be idle all day long, and even dare to bite me!"

"The child has signed up for enough classes, he is only nine years old, you see ......"

"If you want to report it, you will report it!" Zhou's father glared, "A woman's family knows a fart!" Lao Liu in our unit, the child is only eight years old, and he won the first prize in the children's English competition, and he shows off in the unit all day long, where do you let me put the face of the section chief!"

After a pause, Dad Zhou looked at Zhou Jing who was eating, "You give Lao Tzu a good study, and let me have a long face, if you don't learn well, see how I clean you up!"

Zhou's mother didn't dare to speak again, this family has always been her husband's final say.

On the weekend, Zhou's father really brought five colleagues from his department to his home.

"Yo, sister-in-law, what's going on on your face?" Although she had tried very hard to cover it, the scars on Zhou's mother's face were still seen by a female colleague.

Dad Zhou glanced at Zhou's mother warningly.

Zhou's mother smiled and said casually, "I accidentally fell down when I went downstairs, come, everyone eats fruit, and the meal will be fine immediately." ”

"Tell me about you, why are you so careless, the injury is not serious. Dad Zhou put his arms around Zhou's mother and looked at the wounds on her face with concern.

Such a scene, everyone thinks that this is a very harmonious family.

"It's all old husbands and wives, and Section Chief Zhou is still so affectionate. ”

"Sister-in-law, you are really blessed, marrying a man like Section Chief Zhou will hurt people. ”

"That's it, I'm with my family, let alone hugging and hugging, just say one more word, I don't want to, I've watched it for decades, I'm a fairy, I've seen enough, hahaha. ”

Listening to these people's words, Zhou's mother smiled very far-fetchedly, Zhou's father's behavior made her sick.

"You come with you, I'll go to the kitchen and cook. ”

After saying this, Zhou's mother walked into the kitchen quickly, and she didn't even want to cooperate for a moment with such a show.

"Look at her, she's a little embarrassed, hahaha. Dad Zhou laughed at everyone.

During the meal, Zhou's father kept picking up vegetables for Zhou's mother, "Eat more meat, just to make up for it." ”

Zhou's mother smiled while beckoning the guests to eat, trying her best to show that the husband and wife were very affectionate.

"By the way, Lao Liu, I also enrolled our son in an English class, and I also asked him to participate in the children's English competition when I went back, maybe I can get a prize back." ”

"This is not necessarily, my son likes English, so he learns very hard, and it is not a problem to win awards, does your son also like English?"

"Of course I did. Dad Zhou smiled noncommittally, and then put a piece of meat in Zhou Jing's bowl, "As long as I report it to him, he likes it, and if he wins the award this time, he must not have run away, isn't it, Jing'er?"

The young Zhou Jing just looked up at Ken and didn't speak, and then lowered his head and continued to eat.

"What about you, are you deaf or dumb?" Father Zhou's eyes widened, so many people were present, but Zhou Jing ignored his own questions, which made him feel that his majesty was challenged.

"Jing'er, tell your dad that you like it and be obedient. Seeing this, Zhou's mother hurriedly said to Zhou Jing.

But Zhou Jing just didn't want to speak.

snapped, Dad Zhou slapped Zhou Jing on the head, "Bastard, didn't the teacher teach you to respect the teacher?"

Zhou Jing stared at Dad Zhou stubbornly, tears were already rolling in his eyes, all the classes that Dad Zhou enrolled him in, music, art, and now English, he didn't like it.

"Like. ”

In the end, before his father had another seizure, Zhou Jing nodded, and tears flowed down Zhou Jing's face all the way to his mouth.

Zhou Jing doesn't like those interest classes, but he doesn't like his mother being beaten the most.

Zhou Jing knew that if he didn't speak or say what he liked, his mother would be beaten by his father again at night, and he didn't want his mother to be beaten because of himself, so he said that he would protect his mother.

Zhou's mother, who was sitting on the side, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly took Zhou Jing off the table, for fear that she would upset her husband again.

"Section Chief Zhou, you are too strict with the child. ”

"That's right, the child is so young, just criticize the education, and I am reluctant to beat him if I change it. ”

Seeing this, several colleagues said with a smile.

"If you don't fight, you can't be talented, there is an ancient Chinese saying that filial piety comes out under the stick, children, you have to beat when you should be beaten, you can't get used to it, it's all up to his temperament, isn't the family going to make a fuss?"

Dad Zhou smiled disappreliantly, and then picked up his wine glass, "Come on, come on, don't worry about them, let's have a drink, thank you for your support to my work over the years." ”

After pushing the cups and changing the lamps, several guests left one by one, and Zhou's father sat on the chair, burping, picking his teeth with a toothpick, and his body was full of wine.

Zhou's mother carefully cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and she didn't know when it would make Zhou's father unhappy, especially when she drank this kind of wine, she had to be more careful.

And Zhou Jing didn't eat much for dinner, so he was sitting on the side eating snacks.

"Who told you to buy him snacks, you ruined, you dang money fell from the sky, didn't you?"

As soon as Dad Zhou threw away the toothpick, he was about to go to Zhou Jing.

Zhou's mother hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand, rushed over with an arrow step, and held Zhou Jing in her arms, "Don't hit him, I bought the things, if you want to beat me, hit me, I beg you." ”

"Get up!" Zhou's father pushed Zhou's mother away and slowly squatted in front of Zhou Jing, "Who said I was going to beat him?

As he spoke, Dad Zhou gently touched Zhou Jing's head, "Son, you have to fight for me, Dad will rely on you in the future." ”
