"Mom, Dad, I'm promoted!" Yuan Chen pushed the door in and was very happy to report his "results" to his parents, Yuan's father and Yuan's mother, who were originally sitting at the round table in the living room, saw their son pushing the door in, and they all stood up to greet their son, they were all happy and smiled and wanted to say something, but when they saw Zhang Liu behind Yuan Chen, their originally bright smile immediately froze, and the words they wanted to say seemed to freeze.

Zhang Liu didn't seem to notice the second elder's frozen expression, and said directly: "Thank you uncle and aunt for helping me take care of my sister, it's really troublesome today, don't worry, just this once, don't bother again." Yanbi looked at Zhang Xiu and Zhang Fang who were sitting next to the table, and Zhang Ya who was held in Zhang Xiu's arms, walked forward two steps, and took Zhang Ya over and hugged him in his arms.

When Zhang Ya saw Zhang Liu, she happily babbled and spit out two vague words with saliva: "Brother...... Elder brother...... Shell can be ......"

Yuan's father and Yuan's mother, who were also sitting at the table, suddenly took a few steps back as if they were startled when Zhang Liu suddenly walked in and picked up Zhang Liu.

Zhang Xiu, who was sitting at the table, saw this scene, a pair of big eyes looked at Yuan's father and Yuan's mother on the left and Zhang Liu on the right, a little overwhelmed, Zhang Fang was very calm, but he was also not as lively as before, very quiet.

Zhang Liu didn't seem to see Yuan's father and Yuan's mother's deliberately evasive attitude, and bowed his head to Zhang Xiu and Zhang Fang and said, "Say goodbye to your uncle and aunt." ”

Zhang Xiu was a little flustered at this time, and when she heard Zhang Liu's words, instinctively, she chose to listen to her eldest brother's words, stood up and said to Yuan's father and Yuan's mother: "Uncle and aunt, thank you, goodbye." ”

Zhang Fang looked very calm, twisted her fat body and jumped off the chair, stood still, and said to Yuan's father and Yuan's mother: "Uncle and aunt, excuse me, lunch is delicious, thank you, let's go, don't bother, goodbye." ”

Seeing that the two younger sisters were obedient and said goodbye, Zhang Liu looked up at Yuan's father and Yuan's mother, and said, "I'm bothering, thank you for taking care of my sister, don't worry, I won't bother you in the future." After finishing his words, he bowed and saluted, and then turned around and went out with Zhang Xiu and Zhang Fang.

Yuan Chen was a little flustered when he saw this scene, although when he was angry with Zhang Liu on the TV station, he vaguely thought that maybe when his parents saw Zhang Liu again, the scene would not be very good-looking, but he didn't expect Zhang Liu to say the words "don't bother again" so simply, of course, Yuan Chen is not blind, his parents' attitude towards Zhang Liu just now, no wonder Zhang Liu, who has a particularly strong self-esteem, can't stand it.

Yuan Chen couldn't help but say to his mother: "Mom, why do you have such an attitude, this ......"

The Yuan family is a courtyard, so there is a courtyard to go out of the door, Zhang Liu, who pushed the door out with his sister, naturally heard the sound coming from the Yuan family's house, which was not very soundproof, and he could clearly hear Yuan Chen's words complaining to Yuan's mother, and he could also hear Yuan's mother's reply.

Mother Yuan said sharply with an angry voice: "I haven't settled accounts with you yet, you blame me!" What kind of person is Zhang Liu! Son of a murderer! Someone died in his house! You dare to bring this kind of person to your home, and you tricked me into letting my parents go on a business trip! Your kid has grown up and his wings are hard, dare to lie to you, Mom! ”

When the shrill voice reached the outside of the house, Zhang Liu felt that Zhang Xiu's hand in his hand trembled, and he looked down and saw Zhang Xiu looking up at him, with water marks in his big eyes.

sighed secretly in his heart, Zhang Liu didn't say anything, holding Zhang Ya in one hand and Zhang Xiu's hand in the other, Zhang Xiu led Zhang Fang and came out of the courtyard of the Yuan family like a zongzi, leaving the hustle and bustle of the Yuan family behind him.

At this time, it was completely dark, and the street lights on the street were on, attracting many mosquitoes to fly around the street lights.

Out of the yard, walked out of the street under the dim light of the street lamp, and then Zhang Liu heard a slight choking sound, stopped, looked down, and saw Zhang Xiu lowering her head to hide her expression, but the tears left along her cheeks were not covered by lowering her head.

Zhang Liu sighed slightly, turned around, and squatted down to look at Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu, who noticed that Zhang Liu squatted down and looked at him, raised his hand to wipe his tears, so as to hide the traces of his crying, but was stopped by Zhang Liu.

Zhang Liu let go of the hand holding Zhang Xiu, raised his hand to stop Zhang Xiu's action of wiping away tears, and then gently wiped the tears on Zhang Xiu's cheeks, the action was so gentle, as if he was afraid of hurting his sister's immature skin.

I don't know if Zhang Liu's gentle and loving movement touched Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu's tears suddenly fell like a burst, and she cried out loud, and asked Zhang Liu while crying: "Brother, am I not good enough, so I made my uncle and aunt angry." ”

Zhang Liu looked at Zhang Xiu, there was tenderness and love in his eyes that he didn't even notice, but under that warm gaze, there was also extra firmness, looking at Zhang Xiu firmly, Zhang Liu replied: "No, you're not wrong, it's not you who made them angry." ”

Zhang Xiu sobbed and asked, "Then why did uncle and aunt suddenly become very disgusted with us?" Zhang Xiu, who has been treated very unkindly by her father since she was a child, has a somewhat sensitive personality, and has an almost instinctive feeling towards others, of course she can detect the sudden change in the face of Yuan Dad and Yuan Mom, who seemed to like her and her sisters, and the disgust behind it.

Zhang Liu's eyes became slightly deep, and he said, "Eldest sister, do you think people will be laughed at if they don't wear clothes?" ”

Zhang Xiu didn't know why Zhang Liu suddenly asked this seemingly clueless question, opened his big tearful eyes, and said with doubt: "What? ”

Zhang Liu repeated his question and said, "Will people laugh at people walking on the street without clothes?" ”

Zhang Xiu was a little dazed, but still answered Zhang Liu's question and said, "Yes!" Yes, yes. ”

Zhang Liu said: "If a girl, she is walking on the street, and suddenly a mad dog pounces and bites her clothes, she is not clothed, should this girl be laughed at?" ”

Zhang Xiu blinked, and replied with some uncertainty: "No, I think it's the fault of the mad dog, and that girl is not willing to be on the street without clothes." As soon as she finished answering, Zhang Xiu seemed to understand something, but her young age made it impossible for her to understand the vaguely felt truth very thoroughly.

Looking at Zhang Xiu's eyes that seemed to understand and seemed to be dazed, Zhang Liu raised his hand and helped Zhang Xiu wipe away the tears that were still hanging on his cheeks, and said, "Big sister, you remember, sometimes others hate you, not because you did wrong, but because of the ignorance and viciousness of those people. Big sister, always remember that if you have done nothing wrong, don't punish yourself for the ignorance and malice of others. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Xiu seemed to understand, but he didn't understand a little, and when he was about to ask something, Zhang Liu stood up closely, touched Zhang Xiu's head, and said, "Just remember, you will slowly understand in the future." ”

"Big brother means that those people are bastards, just don't care!" Zhang Fang's crisp voice interrupted the silence under the street lamp, making Zhang Liu can't help but turn his head to look at Zhang Fang who was holding Zhang Xiu's hand.

Seeing Zhang Fang's big bright eyes and pouting mouth, Zhang Liu couldn't help but smile and said, "Do you know what the eldest brother is talking about?" ”

Zhang Fang said crisply: "I don't know, but I know that anyone who makes the eldest brother and eldest sister unhappy is a bad guy, just don't care!" I'm still young, and when I'm older, I'm going to beat them up for my sister. ”

Zhang Fang's childish words made Zhang Liu laugh, maybe even Zhang Liu himself didn't notice, his smile with his usual smile did not move warmth and love.

With such a smile, Zhang Liu took his three younger sisters and walked home by the dim street lamps and on the path in the dilapidated alley of the old imperial capital.
