The moonlight is like water, sprinkled in front of the door in the sunning flat of silver light, there is the sound of insects from the grass, stop and stop, high and low, bring a little poetry to the small mountain village at night.

It's just that the TV at Uncle Chuanzu's house is a bit loud, which destroys the tranquility of the mountain village. Of course, what is even more annoying is the ubiquitous flower-footed mosquitoes, which not only buzz annoyingly, but also shoot to death is a pool of blood, and it is also a big bag that itches to death if it is not hit.

Li Jiaming found a match and lit a rough and ugly, vermicelli-like thing, and in a moment there were no mosquitoes dancing around, and the people in the mountains were poor and poor. The fourth brother, who was standing behind, looked at the small strip that exuded the fragrance of wormwood, and asked curiously: "You made it with wormwood?"

"Hey, hey, I saw that the dried wormwood burned too quickly, so I broke the dried wormwood, mixed it with some potato flour and kneaded it into strips and then dried it, and the effect was quite good. ”

"Oh, there are pyrethrums in the flower beds of the township government, I will help you pick some seeds after I go to school, you can plant some in the open space next year, and it will be better to add some pyrethrums in the future." ”

A monster is a monster, and he can even know what is not in the books!

Li Jiaming picked up a clean teacup next to him, poured a cup of cold tea for the fourth brother, and waited for him to explain his intentions. This is a youkai who is immersed in the ocean of knowledge, and if there is no important matter, he will not take the initiative to come to the door.

The fourth brother is indeed in trouble, he opened his schoolbag and took out a stack of test papers, put them on the small square table, and said with a smile: "Jiaming, the eldest sister asked me to tutor you, and it is wrong for my mother not to let me, but I can't fight with her." This is the test paper I sorted out, from the first to the third year of junior high school, you do it yourself, if there is a place where you can't make a mark, I will take the time to come over every few days, and then you will ask. ”

As soon as the eldest sister was mentioned, Li Jiaming immediately remembered one thing, the fourth brother seemed to be polite to everyone, but in fact, he was cold and indifferent, just a polite politeness. The brothers and sisters in his own family, even if they are his own brothers, eldest brother and second brother, have never seen the fourth brother have been affectionate towards them, but they are very good to the eldest sister and third brother, as long as the eldest sister and third brother say what they say and ask him to do, he has never refused. In Li Jiaming's 'impression', as soon as the children of the eldest sister and third brother finished elementary school, they were taken to the United States by the fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law to study with their children, while the children of the eldest brother and second brother have always been in their hometown.

"Thank you, Fourth Brother", Li Jiaming thanked him and hesitated: "Fourth Brother, can I ask you a question? If you think it's hard to answer, just treat me as if I didn't ask." ”

"You say"

Li Jiaming expressed the doubts in his heart, and said carefully: "Fourth brother, why is this? The eldest brother and second brother are your own brothers, and the eldest sister is just your cousin." ”

The fourth brother is really quiet, Li Jiaming asked such a question, he still smiled and said: "There is no special reason, they are because they have no common topic with my uncle, and I often think about my own affairs and get distracted." Sometimes I ran into it, and I was afraid that they would say that I didn't know how to be polite, so I didn't see it and smiled at them first. ”

That's right, a person like the fourth brother who is intoxicated with knowledge and a little introverted, wants him to communicate with people like an ordinary person, and it is a topic that he is not interested in, it is really embarrassing for him, it is better to smile at people.

"What about the eldest sister?"

"Big sister?"

The fourth brother hesitated for a moment, as if he was recalling something. That's right, it's really like reminiscing.

"The eldest sister is different from the eldest brother and the second brother, she takes both her younger siblings very seriously", the fourth brother paused, and said a little sadly: "Jiaming, have you fallen into the river in front of the village gate in winter?"

"Nope"

"I fell when I was in the first grade, and more than once, every time the eldest sister and the third brother jumped into the river and pulled me up, while my eldest brother and second brother just stood by and watched. ”

Li Jiaming couldn't help but shudder, the river in front of the small gate of the village is not deep, but if it falls in winter, it will be strange if it is not cold and half dead; what is even more chilling is that it is actually the eldest sister, a girl, and the third brother, who is only one year older than the fourth brother, who jumped into the river to pull the fourth brother!

'Hey', the fourth brother sighed and said quietly: "Jiaming, I don't complain about my eldest brother and second brother, the river is not deep, I can climb up myself without them to pull it." But since I fell into the river for the first time, I feel very relieved and secure with my eldest sister and third brother. ”

Li Jiaming was silent, he used to think that the eldest brother and second brother were just mean to his younger brothers and sisters, but he didn't expect to be so affectionate to their own brothers. If you want to change to a little sister and fall into the river, you must jump down without thinking about it, even if it is a full sister, you will only hesitate slightly, you can still jump when you should jump, that is your own sister!

It is no wonder that in the future, after the fourth brother has a career, he will take the children of the eldest sister and the third brother to the United States to receive the best education, and the children of the eldest brother and the second brother will just maintain an ordinary uncle-nephew relationship. It's like the second aunt used to give all the eggs to the third brother and the fourth brother, just thinking that after the two nephews who can read can still remember her second aunt, but now the second aunt has stuffed all the eggs to herself, doesn't she just want to teach her sister well?

Li Jiaming sighed secretly, but after the fourth brother finished speaking, he was still calm, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him, and smiled: "What's the problem?"

After serving, Li Jiaming served this monster fourth brother, and this fourth brother seemed to have nothing to make him less calm.

It's rare for the fourth brother to ask like this, and Li Jiaming simply asked all the things he couldn't figure out, he had been looking up at the fourth brother in his previous life, and he didn't understand too much about this monster fourth brother.

"Fourth brother, I was in your room that day and saw books for the third year of high school and college. You're so good, why don't you skip a grade?"

'Hehehe', the fourth brother rarely laughed like this, and asked rhetorically, "What about you?"

"Me?"

For a while, Li Jiaming didn't know how to answer, according to the current review progress, he could go directly to high school after the start of school. After being stunned for a while, Li Jiaming excused himself: "I didn't think about it, I didn't think that I was so smart that I could skip a grade." ”

"Then you just think about it slowly, and when you think about it, or if you want to skip a grade, I'll tell you why I don't skip a grade."

After the fourth brother finished with a smile, he drank the cold tea in the teacup and got up to say goodbye.

After sending off the fourth brother, Li Jiaming went back upstairs to check the homework of his two younger sisters, dictate the new words and pinyin learned today and yesterday.

Children are always playful, and the little sister who has always been well-behaved is fine, and her brother will do whatever she says. Manmei is different, although she is very afraid of Li Jiaming now, but as long as she has fun, she forgets everything.

Addition and subtraction within ten,Both of them are all right;Dictation words,Little sister's is still all right,Full sister insisted on a few days of all right,Today I made a mistake in pinyin and a new word。

"Reach out!"

"I don't!"

The man sister who was scared last time saw that the situation was not good and turned around and wanted to escape, Li Jiaming grabbed her clothes, pulled her back, picked up the small bamboo tip and whipped her hard.

'Ahh

After a miserable scream, it was followed by the cry and begging for mercy, "Fifth brother, I don't dare anymore!" Fifth brother, please, I beg you, don't beat me, don't beat me!"

The screams of screaming for the sky and grabbing the ground broke the peace of the small village, and the hearts of adults and children were chilled when they heard it. This is teaching people to read, it is clearly abusing my sister!

The eldest sister downstairs and the second aunt at home, listening to the screams and pains of the full sister, felt a burst of heartache in her heart, followed by tears, and said silently: Sister Man, don't blame the mother (eldest sister) for being ruthless, this is for your good.

waited until the screams of Man Mei stopped, and the eldest sister came up with tears and hugged Man Mei downstairs, who was crying breathlessly, but Li Jiaming said quietly as if nothing happened: "From tomorrow, my brother is going to chop wood, and your classes will be changed to noon and evening." It's still the same sentence, if you don't take it seriously, you will be beaten, and if you want to be beaten, just play!"
