Chapter 61: Choice
Speaking of selling fish next time, Zhou Chen wants to eat roast rabbit meat again, "When the time comes, the second brother will catch another rabbit and roast it for you!" He shook Zhou Wanwan in his arms, and his sister who had been quickly cleaned up and changed her clothes was pink and cute, seeing that Zhou Chen was in a good mood, and planned with her with a smile, "This time let's leave a rabbit leg, wrap it in a big leaf, dig a pit and burn it in the ground to eat, I have seen others eat burned voles like this, I heard that it is delicious." ”
"Burn three legs, one for each of us." Zhou Wanwan also became interested, this practice is very similar to what she heard in her previous life called Huaji.
"Okay, burn three legs." Zhou Chen is now very interested in the different ways to eat rabbits, "Roasting rabbit meat and water celery together today, it's delicious, right?" Why don't you try to wrap the celery and cook it together, I think it will be delicious. ”
"Put some shallots and small head garlic too." Zhou Wanwan added to Zhou Chen.
"Good! I also put onions and garlic when I see my mother's stew, and I guess I put it in and eat it together, and it can be delicious. ”
……
Zhou Chen's brother and sister talked for a long time, only to find that Zhou Yang had been silent.
"Big brother, I want to eat candy, and I want to fly and fly." Zhou Wanwan didn't need Zhou Chen's hints, she opened her little arms and asked Zhou Yang to hug her, and asked her eldest brother to do this and that.
Zhou Yang's face immediately showed a smile, hugged his sister over, peeled the candy paper and fed her the white rabbit milk candy given by Gao Jianjun today, and patiently coaxed her: "After eating the candy, you can fly and fly, it's terrible to choke." ”
"Big brother is not happy." Zhou Wanwan used affirmative sentences. Zhou Yang's mood has been very high today, if there is a problem, it is also after returning to Zhou's house, Zhou Wanwan can basically guess why after thinking about it a little.
"Big brother is not unhappy." Zhou Yang rubbed his sister's hair with his face, and said with some guilt: "Big brother just feels a little sorry." ”
"Is it because of the rabbit?" Zhou Chen also guessed it immediately.
"What milk means, it's to send half of it to my aunt's family, I didn't tell her about leaving a rabbit leg for Nannan, the whole family of 20 people eats half a rabbit, how can milk leave a leg for our nannan......" Zhou Yang said more and more guilty. Even if you leave a leg, you can't give it to us. ”
"Big brother, I don't eat stewed rabbit legs, don't be upset." Zhou Wanwan hugged Zhou Yang's neck and whispered. She knew that her eldest brother was feeling very uncomfortable now. She didn't want her eldest brother to be so sad, but she had to strike while the iron was hot, so that Zhou Yang made up her mind in deep guilt that she would take care of the Zhou family as little as possible in the future, and it was best to let them go completely.
"Let's treat them like family. People don't have us in their eyes. Zhou Chen said coldly.
"Big brother, I'm sorry for your ......" Zhou Yang's voice lowered, his own wishful thinking to let his younger brothers and sisters bear the consequences, which made Zhou Yang's heart as an elder brother like cooking oil.
At this moment, he had never realized so deeply that his younger brothers and sisters could only rely on him in this world, and no one would protect them and take care of them except him. As a big brother, you must think about them in everything, only for them. As for the others. He couldn't take care of it, and he didn't have the heart to take care of it.
"Big brother, let's catch a few more rabbits next time and bring them back to the milk, the milk won't scold me for being full for nothing, and she won't throw me on Nanshan, and Xiaoxia won't always scold me for 'why don't you die early'." Zhou Wanwan continued to whisper, and there was a hint of loneliness and fear in the glutinous voice, which made Zhou Yang's heart almost suffocate.
Zhou Chen's tears flowed down, this smart and sensitive little boy has the softest heart. When his brother and sister are wronged, he will feel several times the pain.
"The eldest brother and the second brother are raising you, and no one can throw you away anymore." Zhou Yang hugged Zhou Wanwan tightly, and remembered the cold winter again. He and Zhou Chen hugged their skinny and dying sister, and the fear and helplessness almost completely crushed them. And their relatives are the culprits of all this, they indifferently watch their brother and sister struggle on the death line, and even conclude that their sister will die without any scruples, without a trace of family affection, adding fuel to the fire. Can't wait, not even as good as a passer-by.
"Big brother is so stupid." Zhou Yang raised his head slowly, and suddenly smiled, but the smile did not have a trace of warmth, "Except for you two, big brother doesn't care about anyone." ”
"Then we can eat the rabbit ourselves after catching it?" Zhou Wanwan asked Zhou Yang happily.
"Well, it's all for the women to eat, and no one will give it." Zhou Yang replied affirmatively, "No one deserves to eat." ”
Zhou Wanwan buried her face in Zhou Yang's neck and nodded obediently.
I'm sorry, big brother. Zhou Wanwan kept apologizing to Zhou Yang in her heart. Just this one thing, in this life, I will only ignore your wishes and force you to make a choice on this one and only one thing. I know you're going to be sad, but it's better to be sad than to be bloodied by them later. Big brother, I promise, please forgive me for this one thing. In the rest of your life, as long as you want to, I will support you in anything, and I will do my best to achieve any of your wishes, just like you took care of me and supported me in your previous life. Do everything in one's power.
The fat rabbit was slaughtered that night. Early the next morning, Zhou Chunxi was sent to the county seat and took half a rabbit, ten sparrows, a bundle of small cabbage, a bundle of small fresh onions, and a basket of wild vegetables planted in the back garden of Zhou's house every night.
In order to rush back that day, Zhou Chun was happy to set off early in the morning, and the Zhou family had not yet gone to work. The family watched in silence at the food that was about to be taken away, and everyone's eyes were complicated.
In this era, food is the top priority in any family, and the whole family still drinks thin vegetable leaves every day, but they want to take out food, especially the precious meat that no one has eaten a bite of, how can everyone have no opinion?
Of course, Mrs. Zhou knew what everyone thought, especially several daughters-in-law, and the dissatisfaction in her eyes was too obvious. But she will not wronged her daughter because of her daughter-in-law's dissatisfaction, her daughter-in-law is a tool to work for the Zhou family and pass on the ancestry, but her daughter is her heart, and her hope is not comparable at all.
"What are you doing here? Waiting for me to serve you dinner? Mrs. Zhou packed up the things she wanted to bring to Zhou Hongxiang, and found Zhou Jun in a circle of people around to make the chicken that only needs to kill the monkey, "I delayed a day's work yesterday, and I didn't get anything back, don't think I don't know what you're thinking about hiding!" You eat me and drink me, and you dare to hide your heart from me! ”
The more Mrs. Zhou scolded, the more energetic she became, and she began to use the topic to play, "Do you know who has the final say in this family?" Why do you still want to rebel? What are you looking at me? If you don't want to stay, get out of here! Without you, an unfilial thing, do you think I can eat? You clean me out of the house, don't even think about taking anything! Why is this home not my land? Why can't I be the master? ”
Everyone in the Zhou family went to breakfast in silence. Old Lady Zhou's iron-fisted repression was once again victorious, albeit out of her sight. Wang Fengying's mother and daughter, who were driven to the kitchen to be punished, exchanged an indignant look; Zhou Chunxi looked at the withered appearance of his wife and daughter, and sighed deeply; Shen Yufen, whose eyes flickered, twisted two handfuls of dissatisfaction on Zhou Chunlai's arm......
This morning, the atmosphere in the Zhou family was more depressing than usual. Everyone went to work without saying a word, and Mrs. Zhou sat cross-legged on the kang, while directing Zhou Ling and Zhou Xia to do housework. While babbling and cursing into the air.
Zhou Wanwan sat at the gate with a small bench to bask in the sun, where she could avoid the harassment of Zhou Ling and Zhou Xia, and she could not hear Mrs. Zhou's cursing.
Zhou Wanwan's cleanliness was soon broken by a group of chicks at home. This group of little guys has been coming to Zhou's house for more than a month, and they are growing very rapidly, according to Mrs. Zhou, they are the best among the chickens bought by the same batch of these families around.
They certainly grow well. There is spiritual spring water to drink every day, and occasionally there is space for food to eat, which is better than the food of the Zhou family.
Maybe it's because they want to drink spiritual spring water at this time of day, forming a conditioned reflex, or maybe they drink too much spiritual spring water, and these chickens also have some spirituality, anyway, at this time of day, they will go to Zhou Wanwan and line up to get water to drink.
The chicks lined up. One by one, they drank water from Zhou Wanwan's hands. In the eyes of people who don't know the inside story, it is the little chicks of the Zhou family who are lining up to peck Zhou Wanwan's fingers. This scene is really a bit weird, usually every night and night next to the barn to feed them in the back garden to feed them water, today she is greedy for the sun, and her thoughts are a little chaotic, so she forgot about them.
I forgot about it every night, but the chicks didn't forget it, they were all lined up, just waiting to drink water. A small rooster was at the front, anxiously pecking at Zhou Wanwan's shoes with his mouth. The fat cat embroidered on it, and the hydrangea of the hydrangea rolled into a messy ball......
Zhou Wanwan could only feed these little chicks first, and they came over one by one, holding Zhou Wanwan's fingers in their mouths, and the spiritual spring water flowed down their fingers into their mouths. After a few sips, Zhou Wanwan withdrew his finger and took the next one.
The orderly procession was disrupted by a mischievous little hen with a reed flower, which sneaked to the front to cut the line, and a black-headed chick squeezed down by it was so anxious that it flapped its wings and fluttered into dust. Zhou Wanwan hurriedly covered her mouth and nose, pointed at the unruly little hen, and the little hen who knew that she had been in trouble ran with her head down and finally hid.
"Haha! It's so much fun! A loud voice outside the gate startled Zhou Wanwan and a group of chicks, and the chicks instantly dispersed and ran to the yard to hide. Zhou Wanwan looked at Shen Guodong who was lying on the door and showed a mouthful of white teeth, I really wished that he was also a little chicken, he could not care about anything, and ran to hide where he couldn't find it.
Shen Guodong opened the door very familiarly and walked in, squatting directly in front of Zhou Wanwan and picking up her hand to look, "They don't bite you?" ”
Zhou Wanwan's little hands are white and tender, and there are a few shallow small meat pits on the back of her hands, which are particularly comfortable to pinch, Shen Guodong saw that her fingers were pink and tender without any wounds, needless to say, she also knew that this group of little chicks did not bite Zhou Wanwan. But this guy still pinched Zhou Wanwan's little hand and didn't let go, and he still looked at Zhou Wanwan with the kind and kind Zhou Wanwan who he felt yesterday seemed to be a hungry dog seeing meat and bones, "I was going to come to you last night, and my grandfather said that you all went to bed early and didn't let me come." ”
Zhou Wanwan didn't know how to pick up his words, so she still stared at Shen Guodong with big eyes and some wariness, and didn't say anything.
In Shen Guodong's opinion, this is not the case, this little girl stared at him with a pair of wet, timid, dark big eyes, long eyelashes blinking like a small fan, the feeling of itchy hands and wanting to do something became stronger and stronger. There was no Zhou Yang brother to stop him today, and Shen Guodong stretched out his hand to hug Zhou Wanwan.
Halfway through his hand, Shen Guodong shrank back again, eagerly rubbed a few handfuls on his clothes, stretched out again, scooped up Zhou Wanwan who was sitting on the small bench, learned Zhou Yang's posture yesterday, and protected her whole person in his arms.
Shen Guodong carefully hugged Zhou Wanwan's soft little body like a sprout in his arms, and suddenly understood the mood of Brother Zhou Yang yesterday, such a delicate little girl, how can she hug others casually, what if she uses too much force to hug it? Who knows if their hands are not clean, what will they do if they are buried? What should I do if I'm too ugly and scared? Anyway, no one will give you a hug in the future!
Zhou Wanwan is more cautious than Shen Guodong, she can feel that this person has no malicious intent now, but he is not a normal person, it can't be inferred from common sense, who knows when he will be provoked, and there may be people who will be directly thrown to death.
Of course, to deal with Shen Guodong, there are a thousand ways in Zhou Wanwan's space, but that is the next step, and it is better not to use it until it is absolutely necessary.
Shen Guodong stiffened his arms and hugged Zhou Wanwan for a while, and finally found some tricks, and his posture was much more natural. Then he sat on the small bench that Zhou Wanwan was sitting on just now, still in the same posture of holding her whole person in his arms, and got closer and sniffed, "Sweet!" He muttered to himself, and then rubbed his face against Zhou Wanwan's little curly hair, "Soft, fragrant!" ”
Zhou Wanwan felt that Shen Guodong was using himself as a Barbie doll, and he was very happy to fiddle with it. She especially wants to remind this person that this is a live-action version in your hand, but you have to handle it gently......
Shen Guodong held the little doll in his arms and studied it for a long time, everything was cute, and he liked everything. finally stopped, and it was still the posture that let Zhou Wanwan do it on his lap and protect her whole person in his arms, and basked in the sun with satisfaction.
Zhou Wanwan was held in Shen Guodong's arms, I don't know if it was because of his caution, or because he was imitating Zhou Yang's posture of hugging her yesterday, Zhou Wanwan miraculously had no discomfort. Given this person's very unstable mood, Zhou Wanwan decided that it would be better to wait and see what happened. So she was barely able to accept the current situation, so she quietly accompanied this guy with a smirk like a dream on his face to bask in the sun. (To be continued.) )
