Zhou Yang thought that Xiao Zhang had something to do, so he wanted to follow him, but was called back by Ma Shulan.

"Yangyang, come and write a few words for Auntie to see, Auntie has been in a literacy class for a year, and Auntie doesn't know many of the words in your book." Zhou Yang can only come back, since he is not allowed to go, it is that there is an arrangement for a long time, and he will not be involved. He trusts Shen Guodong, and he believes in Xiao Zhang and his wife, who are like Shen Guodong's family.

The Zhou family's watchman Xiao Zhang pushed the door in, and they were all so frightened that they shivered. Especially Xiao Zhang's straight military uniform, upright military hat, and the discipline buckle tied to the top, the equipment of this regular army and Xiao Zhang's awe-inspiring military temperament make the Zhou family feel like a big enemy, this is a state cadre with a much higher level than the officer of the Armed Forces Department of the Commune, this is not to pull Mrs. Zhou to a bigger place to criticize, right? Shouldn't they be fighting too?

Xiao Zhang glanced at the Zhou family who had been trembling for a week, "Your family is now a member of the Black Five Category of bad elements, all of you," Xiao Zhang took his finger and circled it, not pulling any of them, "It is always under the surveillance of the people, only be honest, and don't talk nonsense!" If there is a hint of wind and grass, it will immediately be found out and dictatorship will be imposed on you, do you know? ”

The Zhou family hurriedly nodded like pounding garlic.

"Your commune's criticism will only be a small-scale, small-scale, larger-scale, more powerful criticism, do you want to see it?"

The Zhou family nodded together, and only two of them reacted under Xiao Zhang's sharp gaze, and quickly shook their heads.

"Then make it honestly! Don't let me catch you being a little dishonest! ”

The Zhou family was so frightened that they didn't dare to nod or shake their heads, until Xiao Zhang snorted, and then quickly nodded and nodded again.

"Those three children of Westinghouse, if you treat you a little badly, do you know what the consequences will be?" Seeing that the Zhou family didn't dare to come out, Xiao Zhang suddenly remembered Shen Guodong's original words:

"Tell them, if you dare to bully them again, I'll kick them!"

"The New Year's goods in the hands of that kid were sent by Chief of Staff Shen, not your things, don't worry about it, or when you settle accounts with you, you won't have time to regret it! Do you understand!? ”

After admonishing him, Xiao Zhang waved his hand, blocked Zhou Chunfa who was going to send him out in the door, and returned to the Westinghouse by himself.

Zhou Wanwan sat in Ma Shulan's arms, writing his name one by one, big names and small names, and he was praised to the point that there was nothing in the sky and no in the earth.

It's really easy to be a child, from the time they entered the house, Zhou Wanwan only said hello, thanked him, and wrote two more words, and he won so much love.

Zhou Wanwan sighed in her heart, there is no such good thing when she grows up. She was not a coquettish child with strangers in her past life and this life, if she hadn't grown up sweet and beautiful today, it is estimated that no one would like her except her brothers......

No matter what Zhou Wanwan said about herself in her heart, Ma Shulan liked this little doll too much, she proposed to Xiao Zhang to take her away, and when she was dressed and asked to put on new clothes, she would be sent back.

Zhou Yang immediately disagreed. was so frightened that she hurriedly hugged her sister back from Ma Shulan's arms, if it weren't for her sister throwing herself into his arms, this Aunt Ma would still refuse to let go.

Zhou Yang hugged his sister who was snatched back and didn't let go. This can't be done, no one can't do it, no one can take my sister away, it can't stay for a day, not for an hour!

Knowing Ma Shulan's thoughts, Zhou Yang didn't let her hug her sister for a second.

Looking at Zhou Yang, who was nervously hugging his sister and not letting go, and Xiao Nannan, who was hugging his brother's neck and burying his face and no longer caring about them, Xiao Zhang pulled Ma Shulan away.

Sending Xiao Zhang and his wife out of the door, Zhou Yang forcibly brought them a few pheasants and a few rabbits, and filled a basket full of eggs, saying that it was for Grandpa Shen and their husband and wife.

Xiao Zhang and his wife couldn't push it, and because Zhou Yang said that it was for Chief of Staff Shen and Shen Guodong, they couldn't shirk it too much for them, so they accepted it, but they planned to send clothes to Xiao Nannan in two days, and they must bring some food for a few more children.

These children are not only smart and beautiful, but also know gratitude, which is really a rare and well-educated child.

On the way back, Ma Shulan was still thinking about Xiao Nannan, if only she could take it over and live for a few days, Chief of Staff Shen could also like it.

Xiao Zhang shook his head, he understood that these children had been dependent on each other for so long, and they had experienced such a thing, and no one could separate them.

After Xiao Zhang and his wife left, the Zhou family stayed quietly in the East House, and no one dared to disturb the lives of Zhou Yang's three siblings. No one dares to covet their stuff.

Zhou Chunfa's family and Zhou Hongying have one more thing to worry about, if Shen Guodong comes, what can they do......

The two gold medals of Chief Shen and Shen Guodong are too effective. One represents great power, and the other represents pure violence, no matter which one makes them dare not come out and surrender honestly.

Xiao Zhang and his wife left, and the Zhou Yang brothers and sisters began to continue what they were doing, and they were preparing birthday gifts for Zhou Chen. Tomorrow is Zhou Chen's birthday.

Zhou Yang asked Zhao Dazhuang to go to the commune's supply and marketing cooperatives and bought a red hard-shell notebook.

Zhou Yang specially explained to Zhao Dazhuang, pick the best-looking one, it doesn't matter if it's expensive.

Zhao Dazhuang lived up to the trust of his brother and sister, bought the most expensive one in the supply and marketing cooperative, and spent five cents and six cents. Of course, he had very little choice, and there were only two kinds of notebooks in the supply and marketing cooperatives, the other was a red plastic one with the workers' and peasants' unity printed on it. Then there are the exercise books for students.

I am still quite satisfied with this red notebook Zhou Wanwan. The red hard shell is a ** relief painting of the same color, with dragon pillars and auspicious clouds, and the two winged doves of peace in the sky are made of silver, which is very atmospheric and elegant.

There are also a few color inserts in the notebook,**,**, Zhou Yang turned to the third one, and immediately felt that the five cents and six cents were too well spent!

It was an illustration of a chubby little girl, dressed in flowers, with a white bib and posing as a pigeon with her little hands. It reads: I would like to be a dove of peace.

"In the future, I will make a set of such clothes for the girl."

Zhou Wanwan didn't lift her eyelids, her eldest brother could think of making clothes for her when he saw anything these days, and he was stunned.

The last illustration is of a worker operating a machine tool, and the following reads: Carry forward Wang Chonglun's work spirit and complete the national plan ahead of schedule.

This national plan is supposed to be the first five-year plan, which means that this notebook was produced between 1953 and 1957.

In remote villages and towns in remote and impoverished counties, it is not surprising that they use things from ten years ago.

Zhou Yang is typing a draft in his exercise book, preparing to write a sentence to his younger brother in his notebook: study hard and make progress every day.

The draft has been written several times, but Zhou Yang is still not satisfied, and always feels that his words are ugly.

Zhou Wanwan let her eldest brother ponder there, she was making final preparations for her second brother's birthday present.

Now they don't have to worry about food and clothing, the reserve of meat, eggs, soybeans, wheat, sweet potatoes, and potatoes is enough to eat until the beginning of spring, and when spring begins, she can go out for activities, let alone worry about eating.

So Zhou Wanwan decided to find something that could make Zhou Chen physically and mentally happy without causing him a psychological burden. Recently, he has been studying too hard, and he has to relieve the pressure of her second brother every night.

Zhou Yang finally made up his mind, wiped his hands carefully, solemnly took out the pen in the small treasure box, and wrote his expectations on the title page of the notebook one by one.

Primary 2:

Study hard and make progress every day

eldest brother

December 27, 1962

Zhou Wanwan also stretched out her arms and sleeves, took the pen in the eldest brother's hand, and wrote her blessings under the eldest brother.

Second Brother:

I'm zuìxǐhuān you!

You want to yongyuǎnjiànjiànkāngkāng,high xìngxìng!

Babble

Alas! A lot of words the second brother hasn't been taught, she can only use pinyin instead, fortunately, in the past few days, Zhou Chen told her about the pinyin alphabet, or she can only draw circles instead.

Before Zhou Chen came back, the brother and sister hurriedly hid their notebooks, tomorrow was their birthday, and they wanted to surprise Zhou Chen.

As soon as Zhou Chen came back, the brothers talked about Shen Guodong's delivery.

"This kid!" Zhou Chen smiled, his attitude towards Shen Guodong is very casual now, and it is not too much of a burden to accept his things, thinking that he will bring him more mountain goods in the future, and if he has the opportunity to compensate a little more, he will not let him suffer.

"I want to send some more eggs to Chief Shen in the spring, our wild eggs are big, I look better than the eggs at home, the yolk is bigger than the family, and the color is fresher than the family. I went back to the county to sell reed leaves, and I heard people in the market say that eggs with large yolks and fresh eggs are good for the body. "Zhou Yang is an honest child, and if he doesn't repay the benefits of others, he always thinks about it in his heart.

"Okay, I'll send a few live pheasants then, I heard that it's good for your body to eat them." Zhou Chen also agreed with his brother's idea, "I'll make two good slingshots for Shen Guodong, he is not as good as me." ”

After planning this matter, the Zhou Yang brothers stopped thinking about it in their hearts, and they spoke much more easily.

"That good fabric is good-looking, compare it with our Nannan, and make our Nannan's little face a lot brighter!" Zhou Yang has a great passion for making beautiful clothes for his sister.

"Alas! We can't afford good fabrics even if we have money. Zhou Chen regretted that his sister's beautiful clothes were not earned by him, who was an elder brother, "Second brother study hard, and earn a bunch of good-looking clothes for Nannan in the future!" ”

"When I grow up, I don't let my eldest brother and second brother work, I earn beautiful clothes, a lot of delicious food, and a big house for my eldest brother and second brother!" Zhou Wanwan waved her little arm and hugged an elder brother with one hand, very determined, "Let you both enjoy happiness!" ”

Zhou Yang and Zhou Chen were hugged by their sister's soft little arms, and their hearts were full of emotion.

They raised their sister and never thought of asking her to reciprocate. But when my sister sincerely said that she knew their hard work and wanted to repay them, their hearts instantly softened, which was the touching of someone cherishing their hearts, and it was also the fulfillment of their hard work.

That night, Zhou Chunfa returned to the West House very late, he sat in the dark room, looked in the direction of the children in Beikang for a long time, several times wanted to wake them up to ask about the New Year's goods, and finally remembered Xiao Zhang's warning but did not dare to act. In the end, I could only sigh and lie down.

When Zhou Chen came back from make-up class the next day, his eyes narrowed with joy. He mysteriously showed his brother and sister the fluffy ball in his arms: "You two look at it, it's fun!" ”

The fluffy lump was put on the ground by Zhou Chen, and it turned out to be a little white rabbit, a fluffy little rabbit with white and soft fur, red eyes and big ears, very cute.

Zhou Chen put down the little rabbit and walked to the side by himself, the little rabbit turned his head to look, moved his nose, and jumped at Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen smiled and winked at the two people who were staring at the kang, "Don't squeak, keep watching." ”

Zhou Chen walked in another direction, and the little rabbit followed again. Zhou Chen changed several places, and the little rabbit followed him inch by inch.

"This rabbit knows Xiao Er!" Zhou Yang was also surprised, he had seen a dog recognize his owner, but a rabbit had never seen a person like this, "Where did you pick it up?" ”

"I went to see our cover, and just as I was about to go back, it followed, and I don't know where it came from, so it followed me, and I tried several times, and it could be found wherever I went." Zhou Chen picked up the little rabbit and gently touched its big soft ears.

"Is it hungry? What to eat? Zhou Wanwan also went over to touch the little rabbit, and the little rabbit lay in Zhou Chen's arms and obediently let people touch it.

Zhou Yang hurriedly went to the field and went to the kitchen to find two old cabbage gangs left over from cooking in the morning for the little rabbit to eat.

The little rabbit obediently ate it.

The brothers and sisters happily played around the little rabbit for a long time, and did several experiments, and found that with Zhou Chen's presence, the little rabbit could know it for a while, and he would definitely jump to find him.

"The little rabbit likes the second brother!" Zhou Wanwan smiled and watched Zhou Chen gently stroke the little rabbit, and was very happy, with this little pet, Zhou Chen can relax after studying, and he doesn't have to study except for work, although he likes this, but Zhou Wanwan still hopes that Zhou Chen can do something that a child of his age would do.

So she trained this little guy in space, making it extremely familiar and eager for Zhou Chen's taste, voice, and even DNA, and reflexively approached him.

arranged the diet and life of the little rabbit, and officially entered the procedure for Zhou Chen's birthday.

Zhou Chen took the birthday gift from his brother and sister, and he couldn't put it down. Looking at the above words again, Zhou Chen's eyes were instantly full of tears.

He used to be resentful in his heart, why God was so unfair and made them suffer so much. Now, he feels that the company of his brother and sister is the greatest happiness in his life, no matter how much he suffers, compared to this, it is not worth mentioning, he is willing to exchange everything for this companionship, and his heart is full of gratitude.

"Barbecue! Barbecue! Zhou Wanwan hurriedly urged her eldest brother, not wanting her second brother to shed tears. Zhou Chen has shed enough tears in the past eleven years, and she will not let her second brother cry again in the future.

Today's birthday dinner was proposed by Zhou Wanwan and prepared by Zhou Yang, a barbecue feast.

Chicken, rabbit meat, sausages, potatoes, sweet potatoes, garlic, carrots, steamed bread slices, bean buns, the materials that their brothers and sisters can find are all taken out today, simply marinated with salt, put on pre-sharpened wooden skewers, and then prepare a brazier of prosperous charcoal, just waiting for the little birthday star to come back and start!

Of course, with the participation of Zhou Wanwan, the barbecue cannot only be salted, and the secret barbecue material is added to make the grilled things delicious and delicious!

"It's delicious!" Zhou Wanwan felt her bulging little belly and lay on the kang, humming straight.

Zhou Yang and Zhou Chen were also exhausted, lying on the kang and not moving. Hearing my sister's words, both of them laughed, this little guy really ate a lot today.

Zhou Chen smiled and leaned over to rub his sister's belly, "I love to eat, and my second brother will roast you every day in the future, what's going on?" Roast more sweet potato slices of your choice! ”

"I'll bake it on my birthday." Zhou Wanwan couldn't bear to trouble her second brother so much every day. He had to clean, cook, take care of her, a semi-self-conscious person, and study so hard, and now he had a little rabbit to take care of.

"Do you remember your birthday?" Zhou Yang immediately came over with interest.

"Last year, for my birthday, my big brother built me a snowman." Zhou Wanwan was lying on the hot warm kang, her stomach was full, and the second brother's hand rubbing her stomach was so gentle that she was so sleepy that she didn't have the heart to speak.

Zhou Yang and Zhou Chen glanced at each other in shock, and then their eyes were full of incredulity. This little guy can surprise them every day, and her memory is so good!

"Baby, then, you, do you remember Mom?" Zhou Yang asked cautiously.

Zhou Wanwan's eyes have been closed, her sleeping face is quiet and beautiful, her curly and thick eyelashes are like two small fans, casting two shadows on her white and ruddy little face, and her red little mouth is pouting, in the eyes of Zhou Yang and the brothers, this is the most beautiful and cutest little angel in the world.

"We're smart, and she remembers being good to her." Zhou Chen gently leaned his head on his sister's small curly hair, looking cautious as if he was afraid of waking up from the most beautiful dream.

"Hmm." Zhou Yang lowered his head and refused to let his younger brother see his red eyes. He suddenly missed his mother very much, and wanted his mother to see his sister, such a caring and sensible sister, his mother didn't know how happy she would be.

On this afternoon, a woman from the blacksmith furnace came to Zhou's house and brought a letter to Zhou Chunxi, saying that the old Li family in Dongfeng Township asked him if he wanted a wife and children? If he doesn't want to pass it, he will give a happy word, and don't go to their mothers in the future.

Zhou Chunxi then remembered that Li Guizhi and the two children had not come back to Dongfeng Township.

It's going to be the New Year, and there is no reason to throw his wife and children into other people's homes, although he is angry with Zhou Ping, Zhou Chunxi still decided to pick them up. (To be continued.) )
