Zhou Wanwan hugged Zhou Chen's neck and leaned on his neck socket, comforting the second brother silently with her soft little face. For Zhou Xia, she exhausted all her sisterhood in her previous life, and in this life, as long as she dares to do something sorry for her brother and sister, Zhou Wanwan will not be soft at all to rectify her. Therefore, she has been worrying about how to let her brothers see Zhou Xia as a person earlier, so that they can be disappointed in Zhou Xia as soon as possible, and it is best to be desperate, so that they can be less sad and less hurt by her.

Before Zhou Wanwan could do something, Zhou Xia began to destroy their brother-sister friendship by herself. Zhou Wanwan watched her die coldly, her heart was calm, and she didn't feel anything.

Yes, since the moment of rebirth, Zhou Wanwan felt that her heart was indifferent to everyone except her two elder brothers, and even her evil spirit. She felt like a resurrected ghost, clawed and fanged, ready to take revenge on anyone who had hurt or was about to hurt their brother and sister.

If she didn't want her brothers to live a normal life, integrate into society, get married and have children, she even wanted to take her two brothers to the mountains and forests or any isolated place to put an end to all harm. She was really afraid, afraid that everything in her previous life would repeat herself, that she would not be able to protect her brothers, that the opportunity she had waited for decades to get again would be ruined by her own accident.

Therefore, Zhou Wanwan didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her indifference, in order to protect her brothers, she did not hesitate to turn herself into a powerful ghost Shura, and she would not be soft on anyone, including Zhou Xia, of course.

That night, Zhou Chen told Zhou Yang about the day. Finally, he complained to his brother: "...... What did I say? You have to guard against her! If she just gave her soybeans to eat, she would have to sell us as soon as she turned around! I can see it, this is a white-eyed wolf! Have a grudge against us! In the future, we will treat our mother as if she didn't give birth to such a thing! No one is allowed to pay attention to her! ”

"I was also thinking at the time, why did she say that she was also our own sister, we couldn't let her starve while we ate, and my mother would be sad if she knew......" Zhou Yang explained to his younger brother.

"Does she treat us as her own brother? Do you treat Nan Nan as your own sister? What do you think she did? The more Zhou Chen spoke, the more angry he became, "Don't say she's small, no matter how young she is, she knows how lazy she is, right?" Look at us, you know how to give your brother water as soon as she can speak. ”

Zhou Yang took Zhou Wanwan into his arms and hugged him, and sighed, "If there is anything to hide from her in the future......"

"I can't talk to her in the future!" Zhou Chen was still very angry.

……

Zhou Wanwan understood that Zhou Yang wanted to give Zhou Xia some soybeans to eat, but Zhou Chen disagreed, thinking that Zhou Xia would tell the truth. In the end, the two discussed, and asked Zhou Chen to call Zhou Xia to the West House to sleep first, slowly teach her, and then give her soybeans, so that she could be safer. Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhou Chen opened his mouth, he was impatiently sold by Zhou Xia.

Zhou Wanwan felt that Zhou Chen was deliberate, he had already seen clearly that Zhou Xia was not trustworthy, and he couldn't ignore his eldest brother's thoughts, so he used this delaying strategy. It is likely that he gave Zhou Xia some hint when he asked Zhou Xia to go back to sleep in the West House, and very cunningly did not give her any substantive evidence, and made her sure that Zhou Yang's brothers had delicious food in their hands, so as to inspire Zhou Xia's confidence to go to the old lady Zhou to ask for credit.

In this way, Zhou Yang became wary of Zhou Xia, and also taught Zhou Xia a lesson.

Zhou Wanwan felt that Zhou Chen was really too smart as a ten-year-old boy. A smart and clear person like him must have lived a miserable life in the Zhou family in his previous life, and he should not be treated well by the Zhou family, right?

He is not like Zhou Yang, who can find a balance in his heart under the cover of family affection, he has a natural sensitivity to people and things, and can see the dirtiness in the deepest part of the human heart, so his immature mind can't withstand such a blow and will definitely be hurt. It is precisely because of his intelligence that he can regulate himself well, cut off the ties of family affection, and deal with everyone in the Zhou family very rationally and even indifferently, often without mercy. This made everyone in the Zhou family feel even more resentful. Because of this, he was finally pushed into the abyss by the Zhou family without any hesitation, and then collectively breathed a sigh of relief, and even clapped their hands to celebrate.

On January 27, 1962 in the Gregorian calendar, the farmland infrastructure team of the Erdaokan Brigade of Yangshugou Township, Suilin County finally stopped work and took a holiday. Zhou Yang's tiring year is finally over, and he can rest for a while, but in fact, he can't rest for a few days, and he will be stunned after the fifteenth day of the first month. As the old saying goes, after the stunting festival, spring plowing does not stop. Another year of spring ploughing is about to begin, and the year of hard work for farmers is coming.

On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the three sons of the Zhou family, who had been working for more than two months at the Sancha River Water Conservancy Base 200 miles away, also returned.

Zhou Chunxi, the second eldest of the Zhou family, is 41 years old, the third Zhou Chunliang is 34 years old, and the fourth Zhou Chunlai is 24 years old.

The first thing I did when I got home was to hand over the twenty catties of dried sweet potatoes that I had saved in the past two months to Mrs. Zhou. The family stared eagerly at the noodle bag containing the dried sweet potatoes as if they had suddenly received a large fortune, and Mrs. Zhou locked the noodle bag into the cabinet on the kang again, ignoring the eager eyes of the children and the hungry faces.

The treatment of the Ganchahe Water Conservancy Base is better than that of the farmland infrastructure construction team of the brigade, and each person is given three taels of dried sweet potatoes every day. The three brothers went for more than two months to get this back, and Mrs. Zhou was a little dissatisfied in her heart, how could she take it out and spoil it for other children.

She has thought about the usefulness of this dried sweet potato many times, sending half of it to the children of Zhou Hongxiang's family, and leaving some tooth sacrifices for Zhou Hongying. After the Chinese New Year, Zhou Chunlai's Yue family always has to take a walk, and in the year of the catastrophe, taking two catties of dried sweet potatoes is considered a very heavy gift.

Wang Fengying doesn't care what Mrs. Zhou plans, she has a temper that has to bite twice when she sees a stone, how can she let Mrs. Zhou lock things up like this. That lock has to go all into the stomachs of her two daughters, and no one else can see it.

"These children in the family are looking forward to your coming back so that their eyes are red, a group of little gluttonous cats, just waiting for this sweet potato to dry! Hehe! Wang Fengying's mouth was grinning, and her dark purple teeth were exposed, "Siya! Don't you keep talking about your uncle? Your uncle is back, hurry up and sit next to your uncle! What are you hiding? As he spoke, he dragged Zhou Ling over and pressed it next to Zhou Chunlai.

"Uncle, what did you bring me something delicious?" Zhou Ling didn't disappoint her mother, and asked Zhou Chunlai with her neck up.

Zhou Chunlai was young after all, and when his sister-in-law and niece said this, his face turned a little red, and he looked at Mrs. Zhou for help.

"What more would you like to eat? Give you my old bone scum, will you eat it? Mrs. Zhou was obviously scolding Zhou Ling, and she went to Wang Fengying every sentence, "I'm too lazy to stick to the kang every day, and I still want to eat this and that, you also have that face?" ”

"What about the older ones, how about giving the children something to eat?" Wang Fengying moved her buttocks on the edge of the kang and muttered quietly.

Wang Fengying is still afraid of the old lady, married to the Zhou family for many years, she is unwilling to do housework, needlework is not good, there was a third daughter-in-law in the past, her sister-in-law seems to be inferior to people in everything, she can only be a man with her tail between her legs, I am afraid that Mrs. Zhou will not go well and talk about her shortcomings. Now, there is only one second daughter-in-law, who is not brilliant, and she is a hen who does not lay eggs, she feels that she can raise her eyebrows in this family, so everything is pressed on the second family. But this also has to be with the acquiescence of Mrs. Zhou, otherwise there will be a mother-in-law and a sister-in-law, where will she have the confidence to go out every day without doing any housework.

Zhou Wanwan was hugged by Zhou Yang and sat on the bench by the north kang, and Zhou Chen sat at the other end, none of the three brothers and sisters showed any joy because of their father's return. Zhou Wanwan has long been dead, Zhou Chunliang has nothing else in his heart except for his father and mother and farming. has never turned a blind eye to the four brothers and sisters of Zhou Wanwan, and it has nothing to do with him whether they live or die, of course, there is no difference between his later stepdaughter Zhou Meihua and youngest son Zhou Tiezhu. As for Zhou Yang and Zhou Chen's brothers, Zhou Wanwan felt that they had long been accustomed to such a father, or they were used to being disappointed, so they didn't have much hope for him.

Compared with Zhou Chunliang's ignorance of his four children after entering the house, Zhou Chunxi, the most silent in the family, also praised Zhou Wanwan in surprise, "Wuya is a lot of fun", and then sighed and lowered his head after seeing his wife's instantly red eyes and thin eldest daughter, as well as the younger daughter who couldn't lift her neck in the eldest daughter's arms.

Today is a small year, and it is a day of reunion, the food of the Zhou family has improved a little, and a meal of sorghum gnocchi soup has been made, although there are almost no gnocchi in the bland, but it is better than the slimy paste with the taste of rotten vegetable leaves, and it is a rare improvement in the food.

At the dinner table, Mrs. Zhou looked at the kang table where nine people were crowded, and called Zhou Yang and Zhou Chen's brothers to the table where the women were eating. Zhou Wanwan sighed in her heart, eating on the kang table, no matter what the food is, the brothers can at least ensure the amount of a big bowl for each meal, and when it comes to the ground table, under the distribution system of Mrs. Zhou, how much she can eat can only depend on her mood. Especially Zhou Chen, who offended Mrs. Zhou again and again, I am afraid that she will be detained ruthlessly.

Sure enough, after serving a whole bowl of pimple soup to Zhou Hongying and herself, Zhou Yang and Zhou Juan, the most favored among her granddaughters, got most of the bowls, and the rest of the people got half a bowl to less than half a bowl depending on the importance in Mrs. Zhou's heart. Zhou Wanwan looked at the pimple soup in Zhou Chen's hand, which was less than half a bowl, and constantly comforted herself, the second brother has spiritual spring water and energy supplements, and his body can't lose it, all of this is temporary, he must endure it, endure it for a few more years, and they will all grow up safely and leave here.

Zhou Yang silently poured some of the pimple soup in his bowl into Zhou Chen's bowl, Zhou Chen refused to ask for it, and wanted to pour it back, Zhou Yang avoided him, drank the pimple soup in his bowl in a few sips, and got off the table.

Zhou Wanwan raised her forehead, her stupid big brother, isn't this obviously dissatisfied with Mrs. Zhou's distribution? It seems that among the people who were sanctioned by Mrs. Zhou at the dinner table in the future, there is another stupid Zhou Yang.
