"Okay." Liang Ming should be relaxed and careless, and then followed Grandma Liang out of the door, and it was very clear that he did not tell Liang Jun, who was in the same room.

Liang Jun saw the two of them leave, and he was depressed for a while, and used his feelings to write the question.

In Liang Jun's eyes, Liang Ming is not a role model who is the same as the goal, but just an object that is surpassed. He didn't think that Liang Ming was any better than himself, but felt that he was cowardly and irresponsible, and coaxed one. However, his own mother and grandmother like this cowardice, which is also what he is depressed about - is it because he was admitted to the county high school?

Thinking about it, Liang Jun is particularly concerned about learning. Now that he is in his third year of junior high school, he will be admitted to high school next year, and he must not be worse than Liang Ming!

was depressed in his heart, and he was like having a grudge against the exercises, and suddenly Liang Yue appeared behind him. She stood beside Liang Ming, holding the corner of the table with her hand, staring straight at Liang Ming. Liang Ming was taken aback by her, and stopped writing: "What are you doing?" ”

"Why did grandma go to find the eldest brother?" Liang Yue said slowly.

"How do I know?" Liang Ming didn't want to talk about it, and he didn't have a good tone: "It's not something good, just call him over, just give it to him, which time is it?" ”

"Oh......" Liang Yue responded in a low voice, and asked again: "Grandma doesn't like me and my second brother, doesn't she?" ”

"If you don't like it, you don't like it!" Liang Jun's tone was stiff.

Liang Yue saw that he was unhappy, so he didn't mention it anymore after mentioning a few more words, and only said: "The hot water is boiled, and it is also mixed in the bucket, the second brother should go take a bath." ”

Liang Jun put down his pen and went to the stove room without saying a word. Liang Yue has indeed prepared all the qiē, and this little sister is starting to look decent for housework at this time. Thinking that she could help the family share a little, he felt better.

As soon as Liang Jun left, Liang Yue rubbed on the bench he had just sat on, sat and flipped through his textbook and workbook. The content of junior high school learning is different from that of elementary school, and the textbooks are also larger.

Liang Yue turned two more pages and couldn't understand anything, but she still unconsciously took her fingers into her mouth and bit them - she also wanted to go to junior high school......

But now it's useless to think about this, Liang Yue let go of the page in his hand, rubbed off the bench and sneaked out of the door. Although Xu Qinglian told her in every possible way not to run blindly, let alone go to Grandma Liang in the west, she still wanted to touch it now to see what good things Grandma Liang wanted to give her eldest brother Liang Ming, at most she wouldn't go in.

+++

Over there, Liang Ming followed Grandma Liang all the way to the west of Zhuangzi, entered the house, and saw Liang Xin burning a fire in the house, thinking that he was boiling hot water. He stood at the door of the house, glanced inside, and said, "Big sister is here." ”

"Hmm." Liang Xinying: "Grandma left you dumplings, come in and eat." ”

Grandma Liang pushed him slowly behind him again, and Liang Ming also went in. Go to the table and sit down, pick up the chopsticks and stand on the table, get it together, and grab the dumplings. He didn't ask why the dumplings came about, don't ask Grandma Liang and Liang Xin if they had eaten them, if they wanted to eat them, and ate them in less than two bites.

Grandma Liang was happy to see that he was eating well, and she took a kettle and poured him some hot water.

Liang Ming took the bowl, still reminiscing about the pork and celery flavor just now, and said, "The oil is a little less." ”

Liang Xin glanced at him behind the pot and said, "It's good to be able to eat some oil stars." ”

"The more oil, the more fragrant." Liang Ming is not very good at observing people's facial expressions, so after taking a sip of white saliva, he looked at Liang Xin and said, "Liang Xin is going to junior high school again?" ”

"That's right." Liang Xin sent hay to the bottom of the pot, not saying much, and he knew that it was useless to say it.

Liang Ming is the one who spends the most money in the family, and he spends all his money. Xu Qinglian was afraid that he would be looked down upon in the county, but she did her best to give him the best. In his previous life, Liang Ming felt that it was a shame to apply for a bursary for poor students at school, and he didn't want to apply, so he didn't apply for it on his own initiative, and the result was a matter of floating past. In this life, I am afraid that this thing will be repeated. Similarly, Xu Qinglian will be understanding and conniving.

In her previous life, Liang Xin, like Xu Qinglian and Grandma Liang, was very motherly and only saw their good side, and didn't want them to be wronged. In just one week of rebirth in this life, her view of things and things is no longer the same as in her previous life, but more about seeing their bad side. Part of it was influenced by Liang Yiping, but the bigger reason was because he knew that he thought about his own interests.

When self-interest is put first, conflicts and contradictions become the most obvious. It was at this time that she really saw that the people she worked so hard for in her previous life were selfishly living for herself. It turned out that from the beginning, they were so natural, and it wasn't because she volunteered for a long time that they forgot to be grateful.

In their eyes, the only one who needs to be grateful is Xu Qinglian. Whether it comes from the heart, or the word "filial piety" has pressed them so much since ancient times. Liang Xin really understood at this time, and her dedication had never been recognized in their eyes.

As she thought in her previous life, life was her choice, and she didn't regret it. The thoughts in their hearts are probably the same, life is chosen by herself, and it has nothing to do with them.

Liang Xin laughed self-deprecatingly while adding grass to the bottom of the pot.

Liang Ming didn't know what Liang Xin was thinking, or said: "Just read it, you are smart, and your grades are good, it's a pity not to read it." Now that I've gone to school, I can't be greedy for fun anymore and continue to study solidly. ”

Liang Xin was silent and kept adding grass to the bottom of the pot. Grandma Liang sat next to her and said anxiously: "You see how much your eldest brother cares about you, why don't you speak?" ”

"Oh......" Liang Xin replied casually, burned the grass at the bottom of the pot, stood up and said, "The water is almost hot, grandma should take a bath first." ”

Grandma Liang still wanted to sit and talk more as a "family of three", but she didn't expect Liang Xin to have no desire/desire to speak at all. At this moment, she directly got up and took the bucket in, and began to pour water into it, obviously meaning to give an eviction order.

Liang Ming didn't want to stay longer, seeing that Liang Xin and Grandma Liang were going to take a bath, and it was not good for him to stay any longer, he also stood up and said, "Grandma, I'll go back first, and Ming'er will come to see you." ”

"There's no hurry." Grandma Liang didn't want him to go, so she grabbed his wrist and said, "Sit down for a while, I'm not in a hurry to take a bath." ”

"I'm going to go back and wash and read." Liang Ming said: "Grandma should also wash it quickly." ”

Liang Ming didn't want to stay longer, so Grandma Liang had to send him outside the fence yard and let him go home.

Grandma Liang stood outside the fence courtyard and watched him pass through several houses before returning. When she entered the house, Liang Xin had already mixed the water and said to her: "Grandma, take a bath, I'll wait at the door, I'll wash after you wash." ”

"Why aren't you intimate with your eldest brother?" Grandma Liang came up and held Liang Xin's arm and asked this.

Liang Xin smiled: "No, grandma, you think too much." ”

"Are you stupid to be a grandmother?" Grandma Liang said: "Obviously, you just don't want to talk to him, and your eldest brother is not like your mother, so you don't pay attention to what you say?" Didn't he advise you to study hard? ”

"Big brother, he doesn't have a backache when he stands and talks." Liang Xin looked at Grandma Liang and said bluntly: "I didn't say anything about tonight's dumplings, it doesn't mean that I want to be good to him as much as you." In the future, grandma, you should spoil him less. As the eldest in the family, he should have no burden, but he has the easiest life, grandma, do you think he should? ”

Grandma Liang thought about it, suddenly patted Liang Xin's arm and said, "What's the matter with you?" Now that she is talking more and more like your sister-in-law, why do you make people worse? What is your eldest brother's character, who doesn't know before and after Sanzhuang? Honest and intellectual, who doesn't say that your eldest brother is good? ”

"It's good, give our parents face." Liang Xin said: "My mother is tired and happy!" It's just that no one knows she's tired, hehe. ”

"So you still feel sorry for your mother......" Grandma Liang could hear the sour taste in her words, and slapped her arm again to let her out.

Liang Xin moved a small bench and sat down at the door, waiting for Grandma Liang to take a bath, while reading the English book with the remaining faint bright colors. When Grandma Liang washed it, she couldn't see the words on the book at all. She closed the English book and went to the shower by herself.

After taking a shower and washing clothes, it was more than eight o'clock. The heat of the day has subsided, and the wind outside is cool at this time. Grandma Liang shook the pu fan and wanted to go out to enjoy the coolness, and asked Liang Xin if she wanted to go with her.

Liang Xin shook his head, naturally not going. Since she broke up with Xu Qinglian, she has become a big rebel and unfilial daughter in the village, where will she stick to the pile. Plunge in, isn't that sending it to people for criticism?

"Then I'll be back in a while, and you can play by yourself." Grandma Liang saw that she was not going, so she left her words and went by herself.

Liang Xin stayed in the house, lit the oil lamp by himself, and read the book quietly by the light.

Over there, Liang Ming walked back home, and he didn't take Liang Xin's not so friendliness to heart, and he automatically ignored many things. He rarely has a temper, and he rarely complains about life, so he also gets a good-tempered evaluation.

When he arrived home, there were still two people at home, Liang Jun and Liang Xin, and Xu Qinglian had not come back in the field. The cooked rice cooked by Liang Yue was left in the small pot inside the stove, and hot water was boiling in the big pot outside.

He didn't go to the kitchen, he went directly to the hall, and when he arrived at the door, he heard Liang Yue saying to Liang Jun: "Mom and grandma are both, and everything good will be given to the eldest brother." ”

"You're red-eyed again." Liang Jun said: "It's just that I have eaten pork and celery dumplings, and I haven't eaten it, what's so rare?" ”

"Isn't the second brother rare?" Liang Yue's voice was fascinated: "I haven't eaten it a few times in total, and the taste I smelled just now is very good." ”

"It's good that people won't give you food, you're rare." Liang Jun spoke directly.

Liang Ming cleared his throat outside the door, Liang Yue hurriedly got up from the bench, and said nervously: "Big brother is back?" ”

"Hmm." Liang Ming answered, went into the room and sat down at the table.

Although Liang Jun was calm on his face, he still felt a lot of discomfort in his heart. He did two questions, and said a little provocatively: "Brother, Mom hasn't come back yet, won't you go and take a look?" ”

"I'm busy." Liang Ming said: "You go and see." ”

"I'm in my third year of junior high school, I have to study hard......"

"Junior high school is simple, and it doesn't take much effort." Before Liang Jun could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Liang Ming, and then continued: "If you can go to high school, you will know how difficult it is to know how difficult high school knowledge is. As long as you can't keep up with a while, it will be difficult to make up for it in the future. ”

Liang Jun felt very harsh when he heard this, and his self-esteem made him feel that Liang Ming was showing off himself and sarcastically mocking him, he was affectionate, and it was not easy to quarrel with Liang Ming. Liang Ming has always spoken warmly, very reasonable, and does not quarrel with others. Whoever quarrels with him, others will say that others ignore him, so honest people, can you still find fault with you?

Liang Jun had affection, so he had no choice but to say to Liang Yue angrily: "Liang Xin, go and see!" ”

Liang Yue stood still, and said timidly: "It's getting dark, I'm afraid ......"

Liang Jun took a breath, snapped the pen and slapped it on the book: "I'll go and see!" It's not your own mother! Not half as good as a big sister...... Bah! Big sister isn't a good thing right now, either! ”

Liang Ming was not angry or angry, sat like no one else, and continued to read his book.

Waiting for Liang Jun to go out, Liang Yue stood and looked at Liang Ming for a long time before he spoke: "Big brother, are the dumplings stuffed with pork and celery delicious?" ”

"It's delicious." Liang Ming said idly: "I don't know who made it, the taste is really good, better than our mother's." ”

Liang Yue listened greedily, and then asked, "Isn't it grandma's bag?" ”

"I don't know." Liang Ming didn't raise his head: "The dumplings are delicious, who cares about her making dumplings." Grandmother...... I don't think there's any such craftsmanship. ”

"Is that my sister's bag?" Liang Yue said and swallowed.

Liang Ming shook his head, indicating that he really didn't know. He wasn't interested in dwelling on this, so he said to Liang Yue: "Liang Yue, you go get hot water, I'll take a bath." ”

"Okay." Liang Yue propped up the table and ran to get the bath water.

Liang Yue's bath water here had just been mixed, and Xu Qinglian and Liang Jun arrived at home outside. Xu Qinglian put down the hoe and sickle on her shoulder, looked tired, and saw Liang Yue in front of the stove, and said, "You are dead?" What are you doing when you ask your second brother to go out? Doesn't he want to read? ”

Liang Yue leaned against the door: "I'm afraid of the dark, so I ......"

"Forget it, let me take a shower first, I'm tired to death." Xu Qinglian didn't bother to compete with her anymore.

"The bath water is for the eldest brother, or mom, you can wash it first." Liang Yue whispered.

As soon as Xu Qinglian heard that she was bathing Liang Ming, she didn't want to wash it, and said, "Then let your eldest brother wash it first, serve me a bowl of rice to the hall, and I'll eat first." ”

"Oh." Liang Yue answered, and went to serve the meal. After serving the meal, let Liang Ming take a bath first, and Xu Qinglian sat in the hall to eat.

After Liang Xin left, there was really no one in this family who could really appreciate Xu Qinglian's hard work and take the initiative to share a little for her. Liang Ming is used to ignoring it, Liang Jun is a giant in language and a dwarf in action, Liang Yue, the housework she was arranged is enough for her, and she still wants to hide, but she can't hide.

The next Sunday, Liang Xin still repeated what he did on Saturday, set up a stall for half a day, bought vegetables and went to Shu Qinghua's house to cook, and read and studied together in the afternoon. Shu Qinghua is no longer as withdrawn and excessively as he looked before, it turns out that he is not completely bad at communicating with others, but he just doesn't talk much. The thoughts and thoughts in my heart are all hidden by myself and never said. But for Liang Xin asking him questions, he can still answer.

Of course, for Liang Xin, it is already a very profitable thing to be able to earn money and have a free counselor, what else does she ask for?

Liang Xin still doesn't know anything about Shu Qinghua's father. But fortunately, his father only appeared once, and he never came back, which also made Liang Xin a lot easier when he was doing this job.

As a nanny for Shu Qinghua's family, Liang Xin thought about it the most, that is, what to cook for him every day. Liang Xin's family is in the countryside, that is poor habits, although they also grow rice, but maybe regional problems, the rice harvest has not been very good, so they rarely eat rice, and the general staple food is pasta. There are few patterns of pasta, steamed buns, flatbreads, single cakes, and others can't be counted. I drank it every morning and evening, and it was cornmeal porridge. At noon, put a little rice and cook porridge with water.

Liang Xin had been making noodles for Shu Qinghua before, and today he made rice and stir-fried two dishes at noon. There is no rice cooker at home, and you can't use a lunch box to steam in a cage drawer like at school, so the rice is cooked in an earthen stove.

Liang Xin has always felt that the rice and vegetables made in the earthen stove are more fragrant than gas and electricity, especially the cooked rice, and then slowly add fire to roast out of the pot, and it is crispy when you bite into it. If you cook rice at home once, you must bake the pot and chew it every time, and you can chew it all over the house.

Shu Qinghua still couldn't tell whether he was satisfied with the food, but when he was gnawing on the pot at the end, he suddenly said: "Your cooking is delicious." ”

It was rare to hear the praise, Liang Xin's eyes widened, and she was suddenly a little embarrassed. Then she became proud again, took a bite of the pot and said, "You are really a golden mouth!" ”

Shu Qinghua was silent again, chewed the pot, and went upstairs to take a nap......

Liang Xin didn't care, he finished sweeping the rest of the dishes, washed the pots and bowls, and lay on the table to read. When Shu Qinghua came down, we read the book together and asked him questions. After listening to him talk about the questions for two days, I seem to have passed a lot, and I am not as reluctant to books as before, and I even found a sense of accomplishment in doing the questions.

In this way, he studied until the evening, Liang Xin used the leftover rice from noon to scramble an egg fried rice for Shu Qinghua, and then washed his hands and pedaled the cart home.

Liang Yue was abused and beaten again because she flattered Liang Yiping to no avail, and she did have some memories. Under Xu Qinglian's tugging of her ears, she didn't appear in front of Grandma Liang and Liang Xin in the past two days. Although, in her little heart, she remembered that it was Liang Yiping who was not good to her, but she didn't dare to disobey Xu Qinglian's advice at this time.

Without Liang Yue to ask for this and that, Liang Xin's heart was relaxed. She didn't want to cheapen Liang Ming in vain, so it was on this day that Liang Ming went to school, so she brought back the fruit again, and planned to put it at home for Grandma Liang to eat. Grandma Liang still slapped her thigh when she saw the fruit, saying that Liang Xin didn't save.

Liang Xin coaxed her for a while, and then coaxed her over. No matter what Grandma Liang thinks, what she can do and what she can give, she wants to give it to Grandma Liang at this time.

Liang Xin came back early this night, and when he got home, the sky was still bright, and the sun had just set the horizon.

Grandma Liang was cooking porridge, and when she came back, she greeted her and asked her to wait. In addition to cooking porridge, there is nothing else to do, and the dishes eaten are always pickles and dried radishes, so Liang Xin moved a small bench and sat at the door and waited.

When the porridge was boiled and it was cold for a while, he went into the house and sat down to eat. After eating for a while, there was a sudden sound of ping-pong outside, Liang Xin hurriedly ran out to look, only to see Liang Yiping coming to the yard with her hair scattered, kicking this and that, and carrying shoes barefoot, scolding.

Liang Xin saw that this situation was not right, so she hurriedly greeted her and asked, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?" ”
