Chapter Ninety-Three: Face to Face

The next morning, Zhou Wanwan woke up to the sweet smell of millet porridge.

Zhou Wanwan moved her hands and feet, she was no longer numb, she was lying in the warm quilt, and her brother was not there.

Realizing that her brothers were not around, Zhou Wanwan was excited and immediately came to her senses, and as soon as she raised her head, Zhou Chen's still hoarse but pretended brisk voice came from her ears: "The little lazy pig is awake!" I knew you would wake up when your puppy's nose smelled scented! ”

Zhou Wanwan looked at Zhou Chen a little stunned, although his face was still a little pale and his eyes were still red and swollen, but his whole person seemed to have recovered some of his usual looks, and he could even joke with Zhou Wanwan, but his eyes were cautious when he observed Zhou Wanwan's reaction, betraying the tension in his heart.

Zhou Wanwan instantly understood, the second brother was out of control because of his emotions last night, and he held her and kicked Zhou Juan regardless of it, and then the three brothers and sisters hugged their heads and cried, thinking back this morning, worried that last night's chaos scared her.

"Millet porridge!" Zhou Wanwan pointed to the big tea pot simmering in the brazier on the ground with her little hand, and told her second brother in a milky voice: "Add another poached egg!" ”

Zhou Chen's eyes instantly lit up, and he shouted happily outside: "Big brother!" I want to add another egg! The voice was so excited, as if his sister's request to add an egg to the porridge was great news, so that he even forgot to take care of the Zhou family, and couldn't wait to share it with his brother.

"Oops! Egg! What about eggs!? Hearing this, Zhou Yang hurriedly trotted into the house, still holding a piece of smoking firewood in his hand, it was obvious that he was just lighting a fire in the stove pit, preparing to add some more charcoal to the brazier for simmering porridge. Hearing his younger brother's words, Zhou Yang rushed in regardless of it, and even forgot to put down the half-burned firewood in his hand.

"Hello, is one egg enough? Big brother will burn you another one, right? Zhou Yang's cautious eyes were the same as Zhou Chen's, and he tentatively talked to Zhou Wanwan.

"Not enough!" Zhou Wanwan shook her little head as usual, and deliberately counted her two brothers who looked at her with her fingers, "One eldest brother, one second brother, one girl, add three eggs!" ”

"Good! If you say add a few, add a few! Zhou Chen looked at his sister's smart and clever little appearance, and only let go of his heart after hanging for a morning, and pounced on his sister and kissed him several times.

Zhou Yang also wanted to pounce, but Zhou Wanwan pointed at him and stopped him stiffly, "Big brother is buried!" Second brother's newly dismantled quilt, don't come over! ”

Only then did Zhou Yang realize that he had stuck the corners of his black and gray clothes and the green smoke of firewood in his hand, so he could only stand in place and smirk, "Oops! Big brother can't go over! Nan Nan knows best that I feel sorry for your second brother! Before he finished speaking, Zhou Yang's smiling face suddenly burst into tears, he turned around hurriedly, and explained to his younger brothers and sisters in a rough voice: "I'll burn some more firewood and come back in a while." ”

Zhou Wanwan and Zhou Chen both pretended not to see Zhou Yang's tears, and Zhou Chen's eyes also had water, but his expression relaxed. He washed his sister's face and dressed his sister with his hands and feet, and when Zhou Yang calmly entered the house with a broken pot of red charcoal, Zhou Wanwan had already obediently prepared it, ready to eat the millet porridge and poached eggs fed by her second brother.

One morning, Zhou Yang and Zhou Chen took turns teasing Zhou Wanwan to talk, playing games around her, and coaxing her to be happy.

Zhou Wanwan also worked hard as usual, and didn't forget to bring his two elder brothers when he played, and occasionally supported the eldest brother and the second brother to do this and that.

Zhou Wanwan knew that her two brothers were frightened, and this morning's caution and various temptations were afraid that yesterday's events would leave a shadow on her. Now the more she behaves as usual, the more reassuring they will be.

And Zhou Wanwan also has her purpose, now, the most important thing is to appease the emotions of these two children, let them recover from the sudden blow, and then take revenge, and then plan to leave the Zhou family and live their own lives.

Yes, they must leave the Zhou family as soon as possible. Not to mention that Zhou Yang and Zhou Chen are two teenagers who are not yet psychologically mature, they are adults, they meet their mother-killing enemies every day, and even have to eat a pot of rice with them, which is also cruel torture, and after a long time, their personalities will inevitably be affected.

Moreover, Zhou Wanwan didn't want the hands of the two elder brothers to be stained with the dirty blood of Zhou's family. If you want to take revenge, if you want them to pay for their blood debts, it will be up to her alone, these two children are too young and kind-natured, they really hit the Zhou family ruthlessly, and their future lives will inevitably be affected. She is different, even if she kills them with her own hands, she will not have any burden in her heart, so she will do everything by herself, she just wants to let her brothers live this life clean and without any shadows.

Zhou Wanwan was planning the future life of the three brothers and sisters in her heart, and at the same time playing with the two brothers.

In the afternoon, looking at the younger sister who was giggling around the two elder brothers, Zhou Yang and Zhou Chen's hearts were completely relaxed.

"Do you remember last night? Are you afraid? Zhou Chen carefully observed his sister's expression and asked tentatively.

"Don't be afraid!" Zhou Wan didn't raise his head and played with Zhou Chen's self-made chess pieces as building blocks, "The eldest brother and the second brother beat them, and we didn't get beaten ourselves, so I'm not afraid!" ”

There was a moment of silence between Zhou Chen and Zhou Yang, and Zhou Wanwan endured it without looking up, and continued to build her blocks.

"We're so good! The eldest brother and the second brother beat them, don't be afraid! Zhou Chen picked up Zhou Wanwan and picked it up several times.

Zhou Wanwan hugged Zhou Chen's neck with a smile, and said casually in a child's innocent and cheerful tone: "I still dreamed of my mother!" ”

The joy on Zhou Yang and Zhou Chen's faces instantly condensed, and the grief quickly surged to their faces like a tide, and these two immature faces instantly made people unbearable to look at directly. The expressions of the two of them at the moment were like small animals that were suddenly slashed and killed, and they were innocent and confused under the huge pain, completely unaware of why they were treated so cruelly, but they had to face bloody wounds.

This is the deepest wound in the hearts of the two elder brothers, if you endure it now and let them hide it, then it will become more and more painful in the future, until it rots, and the consequences are unimaginable.

Zhou Wanwan was ruthless and continued to use her youth and innocence to force her two brothers to face the pain in their hearts, "Mom sang to me, it's so good." ”

Then, Zhou Wanwan hummed softly in her immature and soft voice:

"The moon is bright, the stars are quiet,

The leaves shade the window lattice,

The cricket is called Zheng Zheng,

Like the sound of the strings,

The sound of the piano is soft, the tune is beautiful,

The cradle swings gently,

Mother baby closes her eyes,

Sleep that sleeps in a dream,

……”

Zhou Wanwan's voice was immature and sweet, completely lacking the gentleness and kindness of her mother when she hummed, but Zhou Yang and Zhou Chen burst into tears the moment they heard this song.

This is the warmest memory in their hearts, how many nights, they listened to this song in their mother's warm arms and fell asleep. How many times in the dim light, the mother smiled softly and folded the quilt for them, and while doing the work, she gently hummed this gentle tune to coax them into a peaceful and peaceful sleep......

Zhou Wanwan also burst into tears unconsciously, all her impressions of her mother came from the oral description of her eldest brother in her previous life, but these warm little details were remembered very clearly, because they were the warmest memories of the eldest brother's difficult and hard life, and he took it out and mentioned it repeatedly.

Now, she wants to replace the pain in the hearts of her brothers with these warm memories, and she will not allow her mother to be mentioned every time she lives in the long life that follows, and the first thing that comes to their hearts is the grief and indignation of her murder. The impression of the mother in their hearts must be the same as in the previous life, so that every time they think of it, their hearts are full of warmth, and they are as beautiful as the sweetest dreams.

Even if a good memory brings tears, it is also a nectar full of power. The crying of the Zhou Yang brothers now is different from last night's venting, last night they cried to the end and almost exhausted all their strength, tears brought endless resentment, and took away the trust in human nature. Today, the brothers' tears slowly brightened their eyes, giving them a warm light in their eyes again.

"Mom also said that Little Sun is a good brother." Seeing that the mood of the two brothers was slowly improving, Zhou Wanwan struck while the iron was hot, and continued to strive for the recognition of the two brothers in her dream, paving the way for her final purpose, "Erbao will go up in the future." ”

Xiao Sun and Erbao, this is the nickname that their mother didn't know how to love them when she was alive, and she gave the Zhou Yang brothers in private, only their mother and son knew. Even Zhou Xia, because Zhou Yang and the two of them had to take care of the image of being an elder brother, they refused to let her mother mention it in front of her, let alone Zhou Wanwan, whose mother died in just three months.

As soon as these two names were said by the young and ignorant sister, the Zhou Yang brothers immediately believed without any doubt that their mother had really appeared in their sister's dream and was talking to them through her sister.

In fact, these two children now want their sister's dream to be real more than anyone else. Since their mother's death, deep down they have refused to accept the fact that their mother has left them forever. So they have kept the clothes box that their mother has sorted out and refused to turn it over, everything in the house is what it was when their mother died, without any change, that is, they are subconsciously looking forward to their mother's return, and they are also subconsciously confusing themselves, creating the illusion that their mother has not left.

Now, the news that my sister passed on to them was tantamount to the driftwood when they drowned, and there was no reason why they didn't hold on tightly.

"What else did Mom say?" Zhou Yang wiped a handful of tears, stared at his sister seriously and asked. It seems that I can find a trace of my mother's mother from my sister's immature little face.

"Mom said, let us live a good life, evil will be rewarded, we don't have to do anything, just wait to see the bad people get retribution." Zhou Wanwan stretched her little face and said seriously word by word.

"You don't have to do anything, and the bad guys will be punished?" Zhou Chen asked seriously. When he woke up this morning, half of his heart was worried about his sister, and the other half was thinking about revenge. Of course, the mother's death was due to her weak body and poor environment, but the root cause was still in Zhou Juan and a few people, and they had to pay the price! Although there is no specific revenge plan, Zhou Chen has already determined this in his heart.

Zhou Yang also stared at his sister, his inner suffering was even worse than Zhou Chen's, in addition to bearing the grief of his mother being framed and dying by his relatives, he also had to bear a heartache for his younger brothers and sisters. His younger siblings were still so young, and they completely lost their mother's love. Zhou Yang, who has been with his mother for the longest time, knows better than anyone that his mother's love is irreplaceable, and no matter how hard he tries, he can't take care of them like his mother. Therefore, Zhou Yang's heart hurt even more, and his hatred for Zhou Juan was deeper.

"Hmm!" Zhou Wanwan nodded vigorously, "If we live a good life, we can see the bad guys being punished." Mom said it. ”

The Zhou Yang brothers were speechless for a while, with thoughtful thoughts in their eyes.

Zhou Wanwan didn't speak, giving the two brothers time to digest this matter. Maybe they can't understand it completely in a short time, but when their lives are really good, it has nothing to do with the mud pit of the Zhou family, and it doesn't matter if they understand it or not.

"When will they be punished?" Zhou Chen asked eagerly, and Zhou Yang also asked with his eyes, the hearts of these two children are now like Zhou Wanwan last night, and they are tormented by hatred and anger.

"Soon." Zhou Wanwan affirmed, "We'll see soon." ”

Now it is not only Zhou Yang and Zhou Chen who are desperately eager for revenge, but also Zhou Wanwan is eager to use revenge to calm the resentment in their hearts.

The experience of so many years in the past and present lives made Zhou Wanwan understand that unless one day their brother and sister die or completely escape into the empty door, they will never be able to achieve liberation in their hearts without seeing the retribution of those who persecuted their mother.

repaying grievances with grievances, Zhou Wanwan felt that it was too natural.

Zhou Yang and Zhou Chen glanced at each other, and they both saw a strong expectation in each other's eyes. The longing and trust in their mother made them believe in their sister's dreams with almost no doubts, and their mother's words were like an outlet, allowing their inner rampant anger to find an outlet for catharsis, and the tense nerves slowly relaxed.

The bad guys will be punished, and in the near future. The two children had no intention of thinking about how their sister's dreams and their mother's words were so unreasonable, and they were now only willing to believe what they wanted to believe.

"I can't wait for them to die!" Zhou Chen clenched his fists tightly, "If God doesn't repay them, I'll avenge my mother by myself!" ”

"We'll definitely see the day when we get justice for our mother!" Zhou Yang grabbed his brother's stiff fist and wrapped it in his warm hand, letting his brother slowly relax.

"Mom said that evil will be rewarded!" Zhou Wanwan hurriedly emphasized, "No one can run!" ”

Zhou Yang and Zhou Chen nodded reverently, they now had a kind of trusting and longing for their mother's words and the justice of this world, and perhaps this was the only consolation they could grasp after the worldview they had formed for more than ten years had suffered a devastating blow.

"In addition to letting us live a good life, what else did Mom say?" Zhou Yang's bright eyes looked at Zhou Wanwan, which was completely different from the forced smile and pretending to be calm in the morning.

"Mom said that she should only give birth to us, she doesn't recognize Zhou Xia, let us not recognize it, just treat it as if there is no such person in the family." Zhou Wanwan hurriedly emphasized that she didn't know what Zhou Yang's attitude towards Zhou Xia would be after this incident, if he still took into account the affection with Zhou Xia, and couldn't let go of the resentment of her mother's murder, the two emotions pulled her eldest brother's kind heart, then he would be too painful, so Zhou Wanwan didn't hesitate to break off for her eldest brother without hesitation this time.

"Xiao Er," Zhou Yang looked at the anger in Zhou Chen's eyes at the mention of Zhou Xia, and hurriedly persuaded: "She won't have a good life in the future." ”

Zhou Chen stalked his neck, and Zhou Yang hurriedly comforted his younger brother: "We shouldn't know her in the future, she has nothing to do with us." She also had to be punished. In the end, Zhou Yang's tone was still a little heavy, but it was extremely firm, and there was no longer the hesitation and maintenance when mentioning Zhou Xia in the past.

Zhou Wanwan disagreed with her eldest brother's words in her heart, and she had strong anger towards Zhou Xia in addition to hatred, this white-eyed wolf was more hateful than Zhou Juan and Zhou Hongying, that was her own mother who was heartfelt and heartfelt to her, she could betray her so justifiably and without guilt, and if she didn't treat her harshly, she might have to do something in the future.

Zhou Chen listened to his eldest brother's words, and thought about his mother's advice, and the unwillingness in his heart was dissipated a little, and he asked his sister who was quiet in his arms, "What else did Mom say?" ”

"Erbao wants to go to school." Zhou Wanwan deliberately bit the word Erbao very hard, looking at Zhou Chen's little face that was red when his nickname was mentioned, Zhou Wanwan's heart was a lot more relaxed.

Zhou Yang was also amused by Zhou Chen, Zhou Chen glared at his brother who was out of tune and his sister who was bad, so he could only change the topic and continue to ask his sister: "What else did Mom say?" ”

Zhou Wanwan pointed to Zhou Yang, who was smiling with red and swollen eyes, "Crying and laughing, the puppy pees." ”

Zhou Chen and Zhou Yang were both stunned, Zhou Chen was the first to react, and burst out laughing. Zhou Yang also reacted, snatching his sister with big eyes and a wicked smile from Zhou Chen's arms, "Little villain!" Who said this? ”

"I said it!" Zhou Wanwan hugged Zhou Yang's neck and giggled, and she was very proud of doing bad things. (To be continued.) )
