"Sister-in-law, our house is one person in one room, there is nothing superfluous, you better find another place to live." Zhou Chen's face tensed suddenly, and he looked at Wang Liqin seriously.

"They are all relatives of the family, and they can't take care of each other? Your grandmother and uncle love you so much, why do you have no conscience as a child? Wang Liqin didn't take Zhou Chen's words seriously at all, "You child is not sensible, I won't tell you, I'll tell him when your eldest brother comes back." ”

Zhou Chen wanted to refute her again, but as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Xiwang half of his body climbing onto Zhou Wanwan's swing chair. He had short calves, and as soon as the chair swayed, he fell down, and the chair that had been swung out swung back was about to hit his head hard.

Zhou Chen rushed over with an arrow step, blocking the chair. The chair had come to a standstill, only two fists away from Xiwang's little head.

Xiwang was not afraid at all, and climbed onto the chair with Zhou Chen's hand.

"Sister-in-law! Xiwang is so small, why don't you look at him? What's the deal going on when you bump into it?! "Zhou Chen is angry again, and he is still a soft-hearted and kind-hearted child, so he can't just watch a little doll who doesn't understand anything get hurt and don't care.

But Wang Liqin's words hardened Zhou Chen's heart.

"Hello! Where's the girl? Wang Liqin still sat firmly under the big tree and munched melon seeds, pulling her neck and calling Zhou Wanwan, "Why is this kid so ignorant?" is such a big girl, and I don't know what is the use of watching children, raising them with good food and drink all day! ”

Zhou Chen's eyes narrowed, and the hand holding Xiwang immediately let go, and Xiwang climbed halfway and fell down. Sitting on the ground, he angrily slapped Zhou Chen's calf with his little hand.

"Why do our family show you the child? How old are you? What does she eat, wear, and what does it matter to you? My sister is using you for a penny? Do you need to point fingers here?! Zhou Chen looked at Wang Liqin coldly, and saw that her fingers were stiff, and the melon seeds were no longer knocked.

"Talking to my sister so weirdly again. Let's go! Relatives like you are not welcome in our family! Zhou Chen finished speaking mercilessly, no longer caring about the mother and son, and walked directly into the door, smashing the curtain of the string of Biti beads (a kind of patterned grass beads, slightly larger than soybean grains, hard and wear-resistant, and patterned).

Zhou Wanwan was brushing Xiao Wang's head in the kitchen. Just took a bite of blood. If you don't brush it quickly, there must be bacteria breeding, so it has to be brushed if you don't want to.

Xiao Wang was just educated once, and he knew that he couldn't hide. was frowning and trying to endure it, when he saw Zhou Chen come in, he thought that he had come to a savior, and his tail wagged so much that it was almost dizzy.

Zhou Chen looked at his sister's white and tender little hands pulling Xiao Wang's big black ears, and her pink little face was as serious as a little adult. It can be seen that Zhou Chen's heart is soft. His mood suddenly improved.

Xiao Wang pitifully asked Zhou Chen for help, and Zhou Chen patted its head with a smile, "Be honest!" ”

Xiao Wang's call for help failed, he bowed his head in frustration, and Zhou Wanwan was defenseless, and the toothpaste foam was applied to its big nose.

Sneeze!! Xiao Wang sneezed loudly and sprayed Zhou Wanwan's face full of toothpaste foam.

Zhou Wanwan was stupid, standing there stiffly with her mouth open with her head full of toothpaste foam. Zhou Chen and Xiao Wang were stunned for a moment. A moment later, one laughed. One jumped out several meters, vigilantly guarding against Zhou Wanwan's retaliation.

By the time Zhou Chen had packed up Xiao Wang and Zhou Wanwan, it was time to prepare dinner.

In the yard, Wang Liqin didn't know when she went into the garden and picked several large tomatoes and two small cucumbers, and even found melons, which were placed on the table with red and green greens, and she was eating vigorously.

With an egg cake in his mouth and a long wooden pole in his hand, Xiwang is chasing a flock of half-sized chicks, so frightened that they are hiding and scurrying all over the yard.

These chicks were just hatched in early August, and Zhou Chen originally enclosed them on a small piece of grass by the shoji, but I don't know when they were released by Xiwang, and the new leaves of the two pots of small flower seedlings under the windowsill were bald, and several pools of were also pulled on the clean red brick floor.

"Heewang!" Zhou Chen ran over and grabbed the long wooden pole in Xiwang's hand, "Stay good with the chickens, what are you doing with them?" ”

"Second brother, kill the chicken and eat the meat!" Xiwang hugged Zhou Chen's legs, "I want to eat meat!" Eat eggs! Drink milk! ”

Wang Liqin sat at the table with a smile, as if she had forgotten that Zhou Chen had ordered them to be evicted just now, "Xiao Er, it's time to cook, right?" Your family is so old chickens, kill a few for Xiwang to eat! Boiled a few more eggs! It is said that your family is living a good life and is rich, and our family is happy to eat since they can eat, and they haven't eaten a bite of your family! Every time you send something to your grandmother's house, you send too little, and the old people have a point, and there is nothing left here when we are happy. ”

"How is our family doing, what is the matter with Guan Xiwang? He eats whatever his parents earn, and if he can't earn it, it's his bad life, and it has nothing to do with us. ”

Zhou Chen has always been gentle and polite to others, and under the influence of Zhou Yang, he has always left three points of leeway for people to speak. But this doesn't mean that he is easy to bully, that sharp and cold Zhou Chen has always been in his bones, and when he encounters someone like Wang Liqin, he will immediately open his sharp teeth and refute it.

"Look at what you kid says! Xiwang isn't your own nephew!? Wang Liqin took a bite of the melon, as if she didn't understand the meaning of Zhou Chen's words at all, and discussed the evening's dishes with Zhou Chen casually:

"This chicken is a little smaller, these old people, kill a few more, or not enough to eat!"

Zhou Wanwan stood at the door with Xiao Wang, and a wave of impatience suddenly surged in her heart.

With people like Wang Liqin, it never works for you to reason with her, her thickness of face is unimaginable to normal people, and if you want them to be honest, you have to use violent means.

Just like Shen Guodong did to the Zhou family back then, they were afraid to hear his name, and once he made a move, he let these people avoid their brothers and sisters every day. Only with such thunderous means can their world really be quiet.

Zhou Wanwan hugged Xiao Wang's neck and muttered for a while, and made a few more gestures.

Xiao Wang wants to accompany their brothers and sisters for a lifetime and cultivate a tacit understanding with them. Allowing it to understand a little more complex communication is the focus of Zhou Wanwan's training in the past few years.

Therefore, although Xiao Wang has a lot of shortcomings, he can still understand Zhou Wanwan's intentions at critical moments.

When Zhou Yang pushed Gu Xing into the yard with a bicycle. Wang Liqin and Xiwang were honestly sitting on the stool under the big tree, not daring to move.

Xiao Wang squatted in front of them, staring at them seriously and intently, as long as they had the slightest movement, he immediately hummed twice in his throat, so frightened that Xiwang's head itched and he didn't dare to scratch it.

Xiao Wang had already heard Zhou Yang's footsteps, but it was not as usual. Wagging his tail and rushing over to run back and forth, Xiao Wang's eyes didn't even move, still staring at Wang Liqin's mother and son. It's just that the tail wags happily.

"Yoko, Yoko, you're back." Wang Liqin looked at Zhou Yang tremblingly, but he still didn't dare to move, and he didn't dare to speak loudly.

That's it. Xiao Wang is not allowed either. It snorted twice at Wang Liqin. The resonance of the chest made the voice low and majestic, like a warning lion.

Wang Liqin didn't dare to speak, she didn't dare to move, so she could only anxiously ask Zhou Yang and Li Shuhua for help.

But Li Shuhua's mother and daughter are more afraid of Xiao Wang, how powerful Xiao Wang is, they have experienced it firsthand.

"Hurry up and get inside! Xiao Xing's wound can't blow the wind. Li Shuhua urged Zhou Yang to carry Gu Xing into the house.

Gu Xing was wearing Zhou Chen's white shirt and a circle of gauze wrapped around her arm, revealing yellow, yellow, red and red traces. It should be a potion mixed with blood.

As soon as Zhou Yang looked at Wang Liqin's mother and son, he knew that this was a ghost done by his younger brothers and sisters. Of course, he couldn't dismantle their platform, pretending not to see their request for help, and after saying hello, he carried Gu Xing into the house.

Zhou Yang put Gu Xing on the chair outside and prepared to pour water for her to take anti-inflammatory medicine.

"I'm going to lie down on the kang!" Gu Xing was very dissatisfied, as soon as she entered the door, there was not even a kang in this room, and her eldest cousin was too stupid, how could she recuperate?

"The doctor said that this arm can't be pressed, you sit down first, and after taking the medicine, the lady will make something to eat for you! What do you want to eat? I see that they have raised so many chickens, there must be a lot of eggs, and my mother will fry eggs for you in a while! Li Shuhua coaxed Gu Xing, and her eyes couldn't help but look at this family carefully.

Although it was not the first time to come, Li Shuhua still couldn't help but sigh, I really couldn't see that a few half-grown children who didn't have a mother, and a milk doll, could live such a prosperous life.

"I want chicken!" Gu Xing had thought about it before she came, and this time she had to eat enough meat before going back. Now that she has been bitten by their dogs, it is even more reasonable to eat them!

"Auntie, let Gu Xing take the medicine first." Zhou Yang walked in from the kitchen with a glass of warm water, "Xiao Er is cooking, you can eat later." ”

After all, it was Xiao Wang who bit Gu Xing, so whether it was Li Shuhua's bad words or Gu Xing's deliberate trouble, Zhou Yang's attitude has always been very good.

"I'll check it out! Apricot wants eggs and chicken! Do you want to do it for your child? This kid has shed a lot of blood today, but he needs to make up for it! Li Shuhua hurriedly walked to the kitchen, "So old and bloody, how many eggs can you eat to make up for it!" ”

After a while, Zhou Wanwan came out of the kitchen.

She was frightened out by Li Shuhua's surprise, almost everything that was not ordinary and didn't want them to see, she and Zhou Chen hid it first.

But that's it, Li Shuhua still has to sigh when she looks at everything, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, grain and vegetables, she can compare everything with her own family, and then guide them, even the basin used by Zhou Chen to cook She can find out what's wrong:

"What are you doing with such a big basin? Doesn't that spoil the grain? You can't live like this! How can you eat all the food, drink porridge in the morning, and be half full in the evening, how can you eat food or food? Look at our family......"

Grandpa came right away, and they left right away. Zhou Wanwan kept telling herself, so she couldn't help but not kick Li Shuhua out.

Live their own lives, where does she have the confidence to guide them on how to live?

"Why isn't this sugar water? Pour me some sugar water! As soon as she entered the living room, Gu Xing yelled at Zhou Wanwan.

Zhou Wanwan didn't even look at her, and went directly through the living room to find Xiao Wang.

Xiao Wang was loyal to his duties, looking at Wang Liqin's mother and son deadly, so that they didn't dare to move.

Hearing Zhou Wanwan's footsteps, Xiao Wang's tail wagged happily, and his eyes did not leave the target it was guarding for a moment.

Zhou Wanwan patted Xiao Wang's back. Stuff a piece of beef jerky into its mouth as a reward for its hard work.

"Nan, you can take it away! I. I want to go to the toilet, and Xiwang pees his pants. Wang Liqin looked at Xiao Wang tremblingly and whispered to Zhou Wanwan.

"Wang!" Xiao Wang screamed in a low voice and made a forward gesture to warn Wang Liqin.

"Damn!!" Wang Liqin shrank on the stool with her head in her arms, not daring to move.

"Mother, I'm peeing again." Xiwang stared at Xiao Wang and whispered Wang Liqin.

Zhou Wanwan patted Xiao Wang again and turned around and left. Let's stay here for the first time.

"What did you feed that dead dog?" Gu Xing didn't know when to walk to the door. Blocked by the door and asked Zhou Wanwan.

"Meat."

"Why don't you give me meat if you have it? I've been here for a long time, and you haven't even given me a piece of candy! Give back the meat to the dead dog that bites? Am I not as good as your dog? Gu Xing was so angry that her eyes were even more swollen, and her face was already black. The blood is surging up, and it is darker.

"Our dogs eat meat, you have to eat it back to your own house. If you don't go back, I can't guarantee when it will bite you again. "Zhou Wanwan's patience is going to be exhausted," in our house. You're just not as good as a dog. ”

"You!!" Gu Xing lit Zhou Wanwan with her hand. I was so angry that I couldn't speak.

"Tap it, and if you are in a hurry, Xiao Wang will give you another bite. This time, you see, I can't stop it! ”

Zhou Wanwan doesn't want to deal with them anymore, so what about letting grandpa take them away? Is kinship earned by one party's compromise? Do their brothers and sisters need that kind of affection?

She chose to endure these people for a while, because she wanted to take into account the feelings of the eldest brother and the second brother, after all, they had not experienced such a tragic past life as themselves, and they still had expectations and desires for the family affection of her grandmother's family, in order to make her brothers have fewer regrets, she was willing to endure them without hurting them.

But if their brother and sister's forbearance is not exchanged for understanding and warmth. On the contrary, let these people gain an inch, so is there any need to endure? Piercing it earlier can protect the brothers and bear less disappointment.

"You wait!" Gu Xing turned around and ran to the kitchen to complain.

"We've come to see you with good intentions. Why is it not as good as a dog!? After a while, Li Shuhua ran out of the kitchen with a shout and asked Zhou Wanwan for her guilt.

Zhou Yang and Zhou Chen crossed her and ran over in a few steps, one picked up Zhou Wanwan and protected her in her arms, and the other stood in front of them to block Li Shuhua.

"Second brother, she said that she wanted to beat Xiao Wang to death and eat meat." Zhou Wanwan hugged Zhou Chen's neck and said softly.

Zhou Chen's body stiffened, and the faces of Li Xiuhua's mother and daughter suddenly became gloomy.

Zhou Yanggang, who was standing in front of them, called "Auntie", and when he heard his sister's words, he paused, and then his words were broken.

Zhou Yang first turned his head and looked at his younger brothers and sisters seriously, his eyes were like gentle lake water, tolerant and gentle, and the deep and boundless love in it made Zhou Chen's hearts settle down at once.

Zhou Yang patted his sister's little head and comforted her: "Don't worry, with the eldest brother here, no one can beat your children to death and eat meat." ”

Zhou Chen's eyes turned red all of a sudden.

After Xuehua was killed, Zhou Chen never mentioned it again, but everyone knows that Zhou Chen will never forget Xuehua in his life, that is his favorite friend in childhood.

Zhou Wanwan regretted it very much, she shouldn't have used snowflakes to stimulate her brothers in order to drive away Li Shuhua's mother and daughter.

This is a knot in the hearts of the two brothers that can never be let go. Zhou Chen is nostalgic for heartache, Zhou Yang is self-blame and chagrin, this is their helplessness and sadness when they were young and weak, and it is the eternal regret in this life.

"Auntie, you and Gu Xing should pack up and go home." Zhou Yang turned around, his gentle care for his younger brothers and sisters was completely gone, and his tone was as cold as a stranger.

"You, you're going to let me go? I'm your aunt! Are you going to cut off this relative? Don't move around anymore?! Li Shuhua pointed to Zhou Yang's nose, and her lips trembled with excitement.

"If you let your grandpa know, they won't be angry! You white-eyed wolves! I hurt you in vain! ”

"Whoever is truly good to us, we are truly good to whomever we are. Dare to bully my younger brothers and sisters, no one will want to enter our door! ”

Zhou Yang's cold and hard tone has not changed at all, his tall and straight body is like a mountain, he can rest assured that his younger brothers and sisters can rely on him at any time, and he can shelter them from the wind and rain anytime and anywhere.

Zhou Wanwan looked at Zhou Yang's thin but already as broad and solid back as a man, and suddenly burst into tears. Pride and emotion flooded over her heart, leaving her no time for anything else.

This strong boy has finally grown into what he has always longed for.

Become a man who can hold up a piece of the sky for his younger siblings. Let them hide under his wing from any harm, live with peace of mind, grow up happily, and do not have to worry about any harm and wind and rain.

Li Shuhua's mother and daughter and Wang Liqin's mother and son quickly left.

Zhou Yang is kind and gentle, broad-minded and tolerant, and has always been willing to think about others, so he looks very easy to get along with. But if it touches his bottom line. He can be more decisive than anyone else, and there is no room for turnaround.

His bottom line is only one, that is, he can't hurt his younger siblings. Who dares to touch. Be prepared to break your head and bleed.

Li Shuhua thought that with the protection of family affection, she could challenge Zhou Yang's bottom line. As a result, he was simply thrown out neatly and without leaving a trace of emotion.

When Old Man Li came, the four brothers and sisters prepared a table of good dishes, as well as a bottle of Wuliangye brought by Shen Guodong. Grinning and waiting for grandpa to eat together.

Old man Li was relieved to sit at the table. Regarding Li Shuhua and Wang Liqin, the old man didn't say anything, just drank and chatted about family life, and teased his little granddaughter.

It was as if he had come to his grandson's house to hang out, and he just needed to happily enjoy a meal of good wine and food that the children had honored, and then he was sent home by his grandson humming a little song.

The ten fingers were connected to each other, but they were uneven, so Old Man Li didn't say anything. came to the house, and it was an explanation for the troubles at home. When I came to my grandson's house, I didn't mention anything. It's a disguised way to tell a few children, grandpa doesn't blame you, you're right.

Zhou Chen sent Old Man Li back, and the brothers and sisters sat in the courtyard and ate watermelon in the evening breeze while talking about today's events.

Several people were in awe of Old Man Li, not only because he was reasonable and fair, and did not blame them, but also because they felt that they had to learn from the old man's way of life.

Sometimes it's more heartwarming not to say it than to make it clear.

"Auntie won't come to our house in the future." Zhou Chen looked at Zhou Yang with a smile. His eldest brother rarely exerts his power, and when he does, he is unexpectedly tough and resolute.

In the end, Li Shuhua hinted that Zhou Yang gave her a step down, she didn't leave, and the relatives were still there, Zhou Yang didn't pick up at all, and drove them away very resolutely.

"I'm feeling relaxed." Zhou Yang was poured half a bottle of liquor by Old Man Li, although he was not drunk, he spoke more directly than usual.

"Did the eldest brother put up with them before?" Zhou Wanwan felt that such a direct and willful Zhou Yang was very cute, so she came to his words.

"Well, it's not forbearance, it's just that I don't like some of the things they do." Zhou Yang took his sister into his arms and kissed her little curly hair, with a warm light in his eyes that made Zhou Wanwan extremely happy:

"Big brother is afraid that there are too few relatives to move around, you are lonely and pitiful, thinking that they are real relatives no matter what they say, I bear with it, let your life be lively, everything is worth it."

Zhou Wanwan's heart was suddenly torn apart, she always thought that Zhou Yang couldn't let go of family affection, she was enduring these relatives for Zhou Yang, but she never thought that the eldest brother was also forbearance for them.

In her stupid big brother's heart, her feelings are always behind her younger siblings......

"The older we get, the fewer relatives we have," Zhou Yang looked at his younger siblings and smiled lightly, "But I don't feel sorry at all, without them our lives are more comfortable, this is really strange!" ”

"Without them, we have found other relatives for ourselves, Brother Dunzi, Brother Shen, Grandpa Shen! They are the best and best relatives in the world! "Zhou Yang will listen to the evening of the week.

Dunzi suddenly lowered his head and gnawed on the watermelon, not daring to raise his head for a long time.

Zhou Chen handed Dunzi a handkerchief, "Wipe your mouth." Dunzi took the handkerchief and pressed it hard against his eyes.

"What kind of relatives are those who will only block us? They are the baggage, and it is better to throw them away early. Zhou Chen pretended not to see the gaffe of the pier, and easily leaned on the trunk of the tree behind him, looking relaxed and happy.

Growth is always accompanied by loss, but a truly wise person is never afraid, because only by experiencing these losses can you find what you really need to cherish.

Today's loss has made the brothers and sisters suddenly brighter, see their future lives more clearly, know what they need, and understand what they need to cherish the most, this loss is really worth it. (To be continued......)
