Chapter 188: Youth
Early in the morning, Zhou Wanwan opened her eyes, and Zhou Chen's enlarged sleeping face was in front of her.
This is the third day in a row, and today is also the third day that Zhou Wanwan moved to his room and slept independently.
In the past three days, Zhou Chen would tell her every night for a long time, and only after Zhou Wanwan fell asleep did he refuse to go back to sleep outside, and then he had to get up in the middle of the night to see her a few times, sometimes he was really not at ease, so he stayed by the side and watched her for a while, and he couldn't hold back for a while, and finally slept next to her.
For three days, every day.
Zhou Wanwan lay quietly, looking at Zhou Chen's sleeping face, proud and proud in his heart, and there was an inexplicable sourness.
When she first returned, the thin and sensitive little boy had grown into a gentle and upright young man, quick to outsiders, intelligent and introverted; Gentle and tolerant to family, meticulous and thoughtful; He has a very high talent in mechanics, music, cooking and aesthetics, and is ingenious, and can even take care of girls' clothes and hair beautifully without a teacher.
Fifteen-year-old Zhou Chen, with delicate and handsome facial features, tall and slender figure, is completely free of the roughness and greenness of a boy of this age, like a piece of beautiful jade, exuding a warm brilliance.
Gentle as jade, young and romantic. Seeing this beautiful boy, the ancients would say "The son is unparalleled in the world, and the stranger is like jade", and they would say "The graceful and beautiful young man, the bright jade tree is in front of the wind". Modern people will think of the proud and beautiful beautiful boy in the mythological story, and they will think of the green bamboo and strong tree, full of spirit.
And in addition to Zhou Wanwan, she never dared to forget that in her previous life, Zhou Chen was deceived into taking the blame. Finally shot.
Throughout the summer, Zhou Wanwan's spirit was tense all the time, afraid that something would happen to Zhou Chen. It's been September now. Nothing happened in the previous life, and Zhou Wanwan still didn't dare to let down her guard while breathing a sigh of relief.
She was like the dragon guarding the treasure, she didn't want to take half a step away because she cared too much, because she knew too well that she couldn't bear the consequences of letting Zhou Chen have any accidents.
Their brother and sister have always been connected, even if they don't know what Zhou Wanwan is worried about, Zhou Chen can still feel her attachment and nervousness to her.
So after a year of grinding and arranging the room in the evening of the week, it took a year to get it done. He was very uncomfortable with his sister moving away from him and sleeping in another room.
Looking at the cyan color under Zhou Chen's eyes, Zhou Wanwan was so distressed. Zhou Chen basically didn't sleep much in the past three nights. Tossing back and forth all the time.
"Little badass! Why don't you talk when you wake up? Zhou Chen patted his sister's little buttocks through the quilt and looked at her with a smile.
"Second brother, come in and sleep." Zhou Wanwan lifted his small quilt and let Zhou Chen enter the quilt.
The weather in early September, the nights in the north are already slightly cool. Zhou Chen asked Zhou Wanwan to cover with a thin quilt.
"Little lazy pig!" Zhou Chen pinched his sister's little nose. Or get into the bed and take her into his arms.
Zhou Chen touched his sister's little hands and feet first, they were all warm, it seemed that he didn't sleep cold at night, so he was relieved.
"Were you scared yesterday?" In the past three days, Zhou Chen will ask this sentence first every morning.
Zhou Wanwan was very strange at first, she never showed timidity, and I don't know why her brothers always asked her "Are you afraid".
Later, she found the answer from Zhou Chen's gaze, they didn't think she would be afraid. Rather, I was worried that she would be afraid.
Only for the person who is in the most important position in his heart will he think about him in every detail.
So. In the future, if someone asks Zhou Wanwan if she is afraid, Zhou Wanwan will smile warmly.
The smile welled up from the deepest part of my heart, reaching my eyes first, and then slowly spreading. Everyone who sees this smile will feel warmth, beauty, and other comforting emotions.
Everyone said that Zhou Wanwan was a girl who smiled very beautifully, but no one knew that she could laugh like this because she had received a lot of pure and beautiful love in this life.
"Second brother, close your eyes." Zhou Wanwan tucked the corners of the quilt for Zhou Chen, learned from the way he usually coaxed himself to sleep, and slowly patted him on the back.
Belch...... The arms are so short that they can only reach the shoulders......
"What?" Zhou Chen asked his sister lazily, and closed his eyes obediently. The hot and soft sister is in his arms, Zhou Chen's heart is very steady, these days there is a serious lack of sleep, under the gentle patting of the little girl, he is so comfortable that he will be sleepy immediately.
"Put you to sleep." Zhou Wanwan smiled softly in his ear.
Zhou Chen also smiled, and the upturned arc of his mouth was so beautiful that Zhou Wanwan was so happy that he wanted to cry.
The brother and sister slept for a while, and when Zhou Yang and Dunzi got up to sweep the yard and fetch water, the two woke up together.
"Xiao Er, I'm cooking today, don't get up." Zhou Yang had already found out that his younger brother had run to find his sister again.
He hasn't slept well in the past three days, worrying about his sister's movements, and also paying attention to his younger brother who runs over to see his sister every hour or two, which is really worrying on both sides.
"Big brother, I want to eat pimple soup." Zhou Wanwan hurriedly said before Zhou Chen answered, once in a while, let the second brother be lazy.
Zhou Yang's cooking level is really average, and he can barely handle the pimple soup.
Zhou Wanwan felt that she was a little eccentric recently, because she was too worried about Zhou Chen, so she couldn't help but take care of him.
"Okay! Big brother makes you pimple soup! Beat another poached egg! Zhou Yang didn't mind his sister's partiality at all, and happily cooked for the two little lazy pigs.
Zhou Chen rolled twice in the quilt with his sister in his arms, rubbing her little curly hair to force a confession, "What bad idea do you have?" ”
Zhou Yang made the pimple soup, put two poached eggs in everyone's bowl, and brought them to the living room to clean up, before going to wake up his younger brothers and sisters.
Zhou Chen came out of the house with the smiling Zhou Wanwan and discussed with Zhou Yang and Dunzi: "Nan Nan is afraid to sleep alone, I'll take her for another year, right?" ”
Zhou Wanwan nodded with a smile, saying that she really needed her second brother to take care of her for another year.
"Then let's take another year!" Zhou Yang also felt that her sister was too young, so she was worried that she would kick the quilt in the middle of the night when she slept on the quilt, so she was put in another room by herself. He wasn't at ease either.
"The little girl is not afraid, but she is reluctant to be a little two." Dunzi looked at Zhou Chen's sister, who was particularly tired of Zhou Chen, and smiled, and it was rare to taunt her. "Yesterday I said that I don't need to drink milk when I grow up, why did I become a little doll today?"
"You have to drink milk no matter how old you are." Zhou Yang came out of the kitchen with a glass of warm milk, put it in front of Zhou Wanwan, and supervised her to drink it.
Zhou Wanwan was not hypocritical, and he did it in one goo. The eldest brother regarded milk and malt milk as a panacea for her health, and she had to watch her drink it every day.
"Look. I'll just say she likes to drink! Zhou Yang happily sandwiched eggs for his sister, "Eat another egg!" ”
Zhou Wanwan obediently struggled with his excessive breakfast every day, and Zhou Yang watched his sister eat happily. Only then did I eat my breakfast with confidence.
The morning sun shines through the large clean glass windows, clear and warm, and it also gilds their new home.
The door opens in the middle of the five rooms of the new house, and one of the rooms at the entrance is divided into two rooms at the front and back by a wall of fire, and the front half is used as a living room and dining room. A large square table was placed in the middle. Usually the brothers and sisters write and eat here, and a larger bookcase is placed by the window, which is used for Zhou Wanwan to paint.
In the clay pot on the bookcase was a large pod of red roses that had been newly picked this morning, and they were blooming like fire.
There was a shelf that was almost the size of the entire wall against the east wall, and there were gadgets made by Zhou Chen, bicycles with wires, dogs carved from wood, and strange-shaped tree roots. There's a nice red stone on it, and sometimes there's a fun potato. Anyway, as long as everyone thinks it's fun, they will put it on.
The west wall is pasted with Zhou Chen's awards, and in two or three years, there are more than a dozen. The family portrait painted by Zhou Wanwan was also solemnly hung there.
Shen Guodong installed a photo frame on each family photo and inlaid it with glass, for fear that these pencil sketches would be damaged after a long time, which would be kept for a lifetime.
There are also seven or eight family photos, from three brothers and sisters to Shen Guodong, it became four people, and then there were five people. In the end, Xiao Wang also came, and in every family photo since then, it has appeared in a troublemaker's figure, and even one of them has been bitten by it.
In the future, at least two family photos will be added every year, and the brothers have discussed with Zhou Wanwan that they will continue to draw until they are old.
Zhou Wanwan happily promised that she would continue to paint family portraits of her brothers until the family was full of children and grandchildren, and then she would have to train a successor to continue to paint for her brothers decades after her death.
This half of the room is not very large, and the furniture is not a little expensive, but it is full of exquisite beauty.
From the brightly colored cushions on the chairs, to the well-matched flowers and plants, from the seemingly simple but delicate furniture, to the cherished and appropriate furnishings in every detail.
This home was arranged bit by bit by the five brothers and sisters with their own hands, carrying all their beautiful imagination of home and all their yearning for life.
So everywhere you can see the dexterous care and warm little details.
Bypassing the partition wall of fire, the back half of the room is the kitchen of the house. A stove was built against the east and west walls, and two pots, one large and one small, were installed on each stove.
Of course, they don't need so many pots for family meals, but they can use the bath water. Next to the stove on the east side is a separate hut for bathing.
In order to facilitate the kitchen to carry firewood and carry things, a back door was opened, which led directly to the back garden. It's also much easier to get in and out.
There are two rooms on the left and right sides of the living room, enter through the door next to the living room, and on the east side are Zhou Wanwan and Zhou Yang's room, Zhou Wanwan is in the inner room, and Zhou Yang is in the outer room.
On the west side is Dunzi and Zhou Chen's room, because since moving in, everyone has been living in Zhou Yang's room and has not slept separately, so which one is their own room, the two of them are not clear at all.
Although Shen Guodong has been clamoring for a room of his own, when designing a new house, he offered to give up his room as a living room and kitchen.
Then forced everyone to agree, in the future, he can sleep in whoever he wants, and everyone has to welcome it!
After eating, Zhou Chen realized that why didn't Xiao Wang come to make trouble this morning?
"Lying on my stomach by the east shoji, I don't know why I'm upset, and I can't come in." Dunzi found it lying there early in the morning, and after making sure that it was not injured or sick, but just in a mood, he let it lie there.
Puppies also need space to be alone. Of course, what Dunzi is thinking about is not this, but Xiao Wang's bullying is soft and afraid of hard, and he is very dragged to Dunzi, who never beats it or bullies and tricks it, and he can't persuade him to come back.
Zhou Wanwan smiled at a moment's notice. Xiao Wang must have been there in silence for the large piece of beef jerky that he didn't eat yesterday. Maybe it didn't find it today or last night, and it's regretting it.
That's the price of pretending to be cool yesterday...... Zhou Wanwan smiled very unkindly.
Before the bell of the production team was ringing, I suddenly heard a chaotic and noisy gong sounding on the street, and Uncle Liu next door shouted loudly: "Cut the tail of capitalism!" Come and see! (To be continued......)
