Zhang Lixiang is indeed very capable, she has renovated a table of dishes by herself, not to mention the taste, the speed is definitely fast enough, Aunt Baocheng has not finished talking about her advantages, she is in the kitchen to start eating.

Although the chicken and shrimp that Zhou Chen had prepared a long time ago were not cooked, the quality of the dishes was still very high, including fish, meat and eggs, as well as vegetables that ripen more than a month earlier than others in the vegetable garden.

Zhang Lixiang finally brought a bowl of pickled celery to the table, "You eat, don't wait for me, I like to eat pickles for dinner, you can eat these old things!"

After the meal is cooked and finally served on the table, I am at home like this! You eat first, or the fish will be cold. ”

Aunt Baocheng pulled Zhang Lixiang onto the table, "You've been busy for a long time, how can you start dinner without waiting?!" Hurry up! This big table of dishes is hungry for us! ”

The two of them tugged and pushed, and they could finally start eating.

Zhou Chen looked at Zhang Lixiang, suddenly smiled secretly, his eyes flashed a few times, changed the silence since he was kicked out of the kitchen, greeted Aunt Baocheng and Zhang Lixiang sisters very warmly to eat, and said a few witty words to make everyone laugh.

Zhang Liqin's gaze finally tore off Zhou Wanwan's body, but it stuck to Zhou Chen's body again.

"Nannan, you are in the same class as my third sister, and she didn't praise you less when she went home, saying that you studied well and looked good." Zhang Lixiang bumped Zhang Liqin with her arm, "Liqin, isn't it, the third sister always praises them for being late when they go home." ”

"Well, I've been talking about you since junior high school." Zhang Liqin's expression was a little strange. But finally retracted his gaze under his sister's collision and glare.

"Really?" Zhou Wanwan smiled, "Sister Lixiang, you eat fish." You've made a delicious meal. ”

Zhou Chen and Zhou Yang quickly exchanged a few glances.

After lunch, Zhou Wanwan accompanied the Zhang sisters around the house and looked at the flowers in the yard. After sitting under the tree for a while, and was about to visit the various rooms in the house again, Aunt Baocheng came out of the house.

"Lixiang, I have to go back to see your uncle and Erzhuzi, I'm not at home, they would rather drink cold water and nibble on dry cakes than fire! Why do you work in the fields in the afternoon if you don't have enough to eat? Aunt Baocheng patted Zhang Lixiang's hand, "Otherwise, you two sisters will stay here first." I waited for them and came back. ”

This is possible, but it is not very reserved. Zhang Lixiang insisted on going back with Aunt Baocheng to "see my uncle and cousin".

Aunt Baocheng took their sisters away, and Zhou Chen took a basin of warm water to wash Zhou Wanwan's face. After washing, he urged her to take a nap. It's been half a day since she took a nap.

Zhou Wanwan lay on the kang in a state of confusion, tossing and turning, and couldn't sleep.

Zhou Chen walked in, let her pill on his lap, and slowly pressed his hand on the acupuncture points on her head. "Do you remember the pharmacology song that Grandpa Guo taught you?"

"Yes. Some of them are a little forgotten. "Mr. Guo has been dead for more than two years, and those awkward pharmacological songs are not used in life, and no one asks her anymore.

"Recite a "Four Qi Song" and listen to it." Zhou Chen's fingers gently and slowly rubbed on Zhou Wanwan's head, and his voice was gentle and gentle.

"The four qi are cold and hot and gentle, and the cold is yin and warm and hot yang,

Warm and replenish the fire to help yang qi, and the effect of dissipating cold in the warm is ......"

Zhou Wanwan slowly recalled, and began to concentrate on reciting those simple and rich songs. A few memorized songs. The voice gradually lowered, and finally fell asleep.

Zhou Chenchong, who had been waiting outside the window, made a gesture. Both breathed a sigh of relief.

Even when he fell asleep and had Zhou Chen's uninterrupted massage, Zhou Wanwan woke up after sleeping for less than half an hour.

"Second brother, Sister Zhang, are they back?" Zhou Wanwan was reluctant to open her eyes, and gently asked Zhou Chen, who had been with her.

"No, do you still want to sleep?"

"I don't sleep, I want to lie down." Zhou Wanwan stuck his head into Zhou Chen's arms and couldn't get up.

After the age of eleven or twelve, she rarely spoiled her brothers like this.

"Get up if you don't sleep! The second brother made boiled shrimp for you, and you didn't eat enough at noon, right? Although Zhou Chen said this, he still held his sister's head and slowly combed her hair.

After Zhou Wan got up late and cleaned up, and ate the shrimp and porridge made by Zhou Chen, Zhou Yang came back from outside on his bicycle.

"Big brother......" Zhou Wanwan didn't finish speaking, but was interrupted by Zhou Yang's serious gesture.

"What's the matter with Zhang Lixiang's sister who is in the same class as you?"

Zhou Wan was asked for a moment, and immediately asked Zhou Chen for help, but Zhou Chen made an expression that he couldn't help you or tell the truth.

"Big brother, how do you know ......" Zhou Wanwan looked at Zhou Yang's always very serious face with a little uneasiness. Since she was a child, her eldest brother has always been gentle and soft-spoken to her, and she has never been so serious.

"How could I not know?!" Zhou Yang stood up at once, pacing back and forth in front of Zhou Wanwan, the expression on his face becoming more and more serious.

"Big brother has put you in his eyes since you were born, and you have been a baby for so many years, are you unhappy that you can't see anything in your heart?!

Am I going to keep it a secret without asking? Is this ready to be separated from the eldest brother? Don't tell your big brother anything in the future? ”

"Nope! The eldest brother ...... "Zhou Wanwan was almost crying, and she was so anxious that she grabbed Zhou Yang's sleeve, but he grabbed his arm with his backhand and pressed it on the chair.

"Then you say, what's going on with He Hongmei?" The expression on Zhou Yang's face did not relax at all, and he stared at Zhou Wanwan tightly, "Do you say it, or I will inquire for myself, and you choose by yourself." ”

Zhou Wanwan was like a child who had made a mistake caught by an adult, and obediently told the truth under Zhou Yang's increasingly pressured gaze, "I didn't know that He Hongmei was Sister Zhang's sister before......"

The more Zhou Yang listened, the tighter his face became, his jaw tightened, and his eyes became heavier and heavier, making Zhou Wanwan more and more empty-hearted, and finally almost said the cause and effect of the antecedents.

"Is the eldest brother ready to be estranged from the eldest brother after he gets married? The eldest brother wants to marry a sister-in-law back, because he hopes that one more person will love you, if you can't do this, do you think the eldest brother will marry? ”

For the first time in my life. Zhou Yang looked at his sister's eyes serious and sharp, "Who is closest to you, who feels most sorry for you." Can you tell the difference? You keep saying that you want to make your eldest brother happy, how can you make your eldest brother the happiest, don't you know? ”

"Big brother, I was wrong." Zhou Wanwan lowered her head with a weak and aggrieved heart, and the helplessness, worry, and unspeakable loneliness and confusion that had been suppressed for so many days suddenly came up, like a child who had been greatly wronged, and hugged Zhou Yang's waist at once. Wow Wow burst into tears.

"Big brother! I was wrong! Don't be mad at me! If you're mad at me, I don't know what to do! I'm so scared to drag you down. Delay you, I'm afraid that you will miss your own happiness because of my relationship. ”

Zhou Wanwan's tears instantly wet a large piece of Zhou Yang's clothes, and she cried to Zhou Yang inarticulately, "Big brother." I wish you had a good life! This is more important to me than anything else. Because it's so important, I don't even know what to do.

So as soon as I encounter your business, I shrink back and think about it, I am afraid that I will delay you if I do something wrong, but I am afraid that if I don't do it even more wrong, I am afraid of death these days! Big brother, don't be angry with me, I won't hide anything from you in the future. Tell you everything! ”

Zhou Yang's seriousness could not be maintained in front of his sister's tears for a long time, and he hugged his sister. slapped and coaxed, comforting her softly, "Okay, don't cry, big brother believes in you, big brother is not angry with you, big brother just feels sorry for you, and he doesn't say anything if he is wronged, big brother is in a hurry, don't cry!" ”

Zhou Wanwan vented for a while, and then slowly stopped crying, Zhou Chen washed a towel and came over to wipe her face, blow her nose, and then wipe the snot and tears on Zhou Yang's shirt, which made Zhou Wanwan suddenly blush a little.

"You say, who in this world is most afraid that you will be unhappy and wronged?" Zhou Chen asked his sister.

"Big brother, second brother, and Brother Dunzi," Zhou Wanwan paused, "and Brother Shen." ”

"Do you think you can get our happiness by compromising everything?" Zhou Chen poked his sister's head, "Do you still need someone to tell you this truth?" I've taught you from childhood to adulthood! ”

Zhou Wanwan felt even more guilty, "Second brother, I was wrong. ”

Zhou Yang also solemnly assured his sister, "As you just said, you won't hide anything from your eldest brother in the future." ”

Zhou Wanwan nodded, and hiccuped uncontrollably, "Tell your eldest brother everything, and don't make your own decisions anymore." Then he carefully observed Zhou Yang's expression, "Big brother, what will happen to you and Sister Zhang in the future?" ”

"Actually, the eldest brother also has something to tell you," Zhou Yang still looked at his sister with a serious face, "I just went to make it clear, this marriage can't be decided, so forget it." ”

Zhou Wanwan's eyes widened in surprise, "Huh?!" ”

Zhou Yang deliberately looked at his sister with a tiger face, "Say whatever you want in your heart!" Let's be honest! ”

"Is it because of me?" Zhou Wanwan blurted out reflexively.

Zhou Yang coughed and suppressed the smile that came up, and then asked his sister seriously, "What would you think if it was because of you?" Don't make excuses, tell the truth! ”

"Guilt." Zhou Wanwan is very honest.

"Is that right?" Zhou Yang became more serious.

"That's not right."

"What should I think of that?" Zhou Yang asked solemnly.

"I can't tolerate it and I want to come in our house! Look at my big brother not cutting you! "Zhou Wanwan's little neck is stalked, and it's energetic.

Zhou Yang coughed vigorously twice, Zhou Chen turned around to pour water, and his shoulders shook silently a few times.

"You don't really understand! How come you're getting on the horns these days?! Zhou Yang glared at his sister.

"Big brother, I was wrong. In the future, I promise not to be confused again. Zhou Wanwan became a little sheep again, honestly bowing his head and admitting his mistakes.

"Let's see how you behave in the future!" Zhou Yang didn't pretend to be serious anymore, and looked at his sister sitting there aggrieved, so distressed that he couldn't help but go over and hug her, "Feel wronged?" What are you thinking? ”

Zhou Wanwan raised her face and frowned, "I don't dare to say it." ”

"Say!" Zhou Yang almost sighed, "What did you promise to the eldest brother just now?!" ”

"Can I skip school tomorrow?" Zhou Wanwan looked at Zhou Yang seriously.

Zhou Yang couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud, "No! You can't skip school without a valid reason. ”

"Oh." Zhou Wanwan was honest again, bowing her head and not speaking.

"But this time is special, don't you know if it's an example?" Zhou Yang's seriousness lasted for ten seconds, and he began to relent.

Zhou Wanwan was so surprised that she hugged Zhou Yang's arm, "Big brother! You're so nice! ”

Zhou Yang scared his sister with a hard blow, and Zhou Chen began to enlighten her softly, "If you really believe in the eldest brother, you shouldn't hide it from him, you say it, put everything in front of the eldest brother, so that he can make a more comprehensive and truthful judgment, right?" ”

Zhou Wanwan was honestly taught, "Second brother, I was wrong. ”

Zhou Yang sighed and spoke for his sister, "I can't blame her for everything, it's because I always said that I wouldn't get married before, and I guess she was too impressed." I think it's easy for my grandmother to make me comfortable this time, and she looks at each other again, so she doesn't dare to say it, for fear of affecting me, right? ”

Zhou Wanwan nodded, there is indeed a reason for this.

"It's no wonder that the eldest brother didn't tell you clearly, the eldest brother used to say that he wouldn't get married, but now that I think about it, it's actually young, I don't have confidence in myself, and I'm afraid."

Zhou Yang looked at the shocked expressions of his younger brothers and sisters, smiled calmly and confidently, not embarrassed at all because he admitted the cowardice in his heart, but was very calm.

"People who don't have confidence in themselves want to stay the same, and really brave people aren't afraid to change. I was young at that time, and I was especially afraid that I would not be able to protect you after the change in my living conditions, and I would let you be wronged. That's why I've been stubbornly refusing to get married. ”

Zhou Yang's smile was full of maturity, self-confidence and control, which filled his whole person with a sense of strength that words could not describe, which was the certainty and confidence that only a truly strong person can have.

"Now I'm not afraid of anything, because I know that I can find someone who loves you as much as I do, and make you feel that this home is happier and safer."

Zhou Yang gently touched his sister's head, "Don't be afraid, my eldest brother got married to find a sister-in-law who loves you as much as my eldest brother, and it is not that my eldest brother was snatched away, let alone alienated from you." ”

Zhou Wanwan's eyes instantly surged with enthusiasm, and she hugged Zhou Yang and cried again, "Big brother, it's all my fault, I should have told you earlier, you don't have to waste these feelings and energy." ”

Zhou Yang patted his sister on the back, "Didn't you say it, there will always be something to gain if you try it, my eldest brother has experienced this time, at least I know that no matter how good a person is, if you don't want to try it in your heart, you don't have to force yourself to try." Thank you for that! (To be continued......)
