The brother and sister escaped from the West House, and before the smiles on their faces could recede, they saw Mrs. Zhou with a dark face and scolded them: "Are you going to the room?" What is the poor tossing? Hee-hee-ha-ha, heartless stuff......"

Mrs. Zhou can't see the laughter of children at home, whoever dares to laugh will definitely be scolded for being bloody, today Zhou Yang's brothers and sisters were negligent for a while and were caught by her.

Zhou Yang walked out of the house silently with Zhou Wanwan in his arms, and Zhou Chen followed out, and behind them, Mrs. Zhou's cursing continued.

The three siblings walked through the small alley in the village and came to the big bubble in the northern wasteland. At this time, it was time to prepare dinner, the people in the village were busy cooking, feeding the pigs, cleaning up the yard, and the children had all gone home to prepare for dinner, so the three siblings hardly met anyone along the way, and the northern wasteland was so quiet that only a few frogs could be heard occasionally.

Standing on the northern wasteland, you can see a thin layer of blue-white cooking smoke over the village, the smell of burning firewood, the smell of food, the smell of earth, and the fragrance of plants and trees, all of which are mixed together to give rise to the smell of rural sunset in early summer. The taste made people relax instantly, longing for a rough but warm meal, longing to spread their hands and feet on the clay kang to relieve the fatigue of the day, longing to listen to two harsh but warm words of mother......

In this piece of food that instantly reminds people of home, the three brothers and sisters are like homeless children, who can only wander in the deserted northern wasteland.

Zhou Chen took out a slingshot and threw a handful of pebbles into the water like a vent of anger before sitting on the ground. Zhou Yang stood silently on the side with Zhou Wanwan in his arms, looking at the water all the time. Zhou Wanwan looked at the eldest brother's deep gaze, not knowing what he was thinking.

"It would be nice if we could live separately." For a long time, Zhou Yang said in a low voice.

Although the three siblings are accustomed to Mrs. Zhou's swearing and making things difficult anytime and anywhere, they are basically not affected by her. But Zhou Yang still longs to give his younger brothers and sisters a warm home, at least to make them laugh out loud when they are happy, and to play a little temper at him as much as he wants when he is unhappy. Instead of being like now, you have to live by looking at other people's faces. Especially my sister, their brother is very worried about going to work in the production team every day, for fear that she will be bullied by someone......

"Impossible." Zhou Wanwan just flashed this year in her heart, and Zhou Chen had already said, "Grandma won't agree, the family is divided, grandpa, grandma, and aunt are three people, and the grandpa earns work alone, how can I provide for my aunt to go to school?" ”

Zhou Wanwan agreed with Zhou Chen's opinion very much, and after the family was separated, the sons had to support their parents, but the daughters-in-law would not agree to provide for the sister-in-law to go to school.

There is also a Zhou Hongxiang, who has split up her family, why does she have to deduct her family's work to receive food if she doesn't work? Last year, she distributed relief food, and said that she would come to the village to do farm work for two months this year, but she still hasn't come, relying on Mrs. Zhou not to let her suffer. But she doesn't suffer a loss, and the one who suffers becomes the Zhou family, if this is a separation, which brother's family can she agree to?

Moreover, Zhou Wanwan felt that there was another reason why Mrs. Zhou refused to split the family, that is, her desire for control was not satisfied. Now, the Zhou family's money and food are in the hands of Mrs. Zhou, everyone has to look at her face and act, and even the daughter-in-law and granddaughter have to be under her control for a few bites of each meal.

In the previous life, the old man Zhou died in 70, and after his death, the four sons and daughters-in-law discussed the separation of the family, and the old lady Zhou forced each other to die, and tossed for another year before the Zhou family was separated.

Zhou Wanwan felt that looking at the situation of the Zhou family now, they would not split up earlier than in their previous life. However, the Zhou family is not separated, and it has nothing to do with Zhou Wanwan's plan. Before the Zhou family separated, she would definitely leave the Zhou family with her brothers to start a new life, and it didn't matter how they were with the three brothers and sisters.

Zhou Wanwan didn't want the two elder brothers to entangle themselves more on this unsolvable issue, so she followed Zhou Chen's words for Zhou Hongying to go to school, "The second brother also goes to school." "Even if you can't go now, you have to plant a seed in Zhou Chen's heart, so that he can't give up this thought.

"Second brother doesn't go to school," Zhou Chen touched his sister's soft little curly hair very lightly, the regret and yearning in his eyes were faint, but Zhou Wanwan was almost out of breath, "When the girl grows up, the eldest brother and the second brother will go to school, and let's take the college exam and come back!" ”

"The second brother also goes to school!" Zhou Wanwan stubbornly shook her head, "We make money for the second brother to go to school." Then he deliberately paused before proposing, "Let's make money selling fish!" ”

Zhou Yang and Zhou Chen glanced at each other when they heard this, and Zhou Wanwan saw a bright light in their eyes. Her nervous heart was half relieved, it seems that her brothers do not reject this idea, and her plan has a door!

The brothers soon began to discuss who to sell fish to make money, and how to sell it, which is the core issue. Zhou Wanwan listened on the side, well, the brothers still have similar thoughts as themselves. Except that I didn't think about going to the county to sell, the other directions are the same, and I can't sell it to Xiaogao, so I can only go to the township to try.

It's already the beginning of May, and it's about to start summer. Zhou Yang and Zhou Chen discussed when it was appropriate to sell fish. "It doesn't rain in the beginning of summer, and the plough rake hangs high. This year's year is good, I see that the water vapor is getting bigger and bigger in the morning these days, and there must be a rain before and after the beginning of summer," although he is only fourteen years old, Zhou Yang has already had the posture of some old croppers when he talks about farming, "The land that lacks seedlings has almost been replenished in the past few days, so I am waiting for the hoe, and when it rains, I can't shovel the grass, so I can only rest for two days, and it is just right to go at that time." ”

Zhou Chen also agreed with Zhou Yang's arrangement, and then the two began to discuss how to transport the fish to the township. Generally, farmers catch a few fish by themselves to sell, and they all take a wicker and carry the gills away, but Zhou Chen doesn't think so, he learned from the experience of selling fish to Xiao Gao last time, "It's all dead fish in the township, if you wait for half a day to sell, it's not fresh, and it can't be sold at a high price." ”

In the end, the brothers decided to take the wooden barrel at home, fill it with a bucket, and carry it with them. Then I discussed some questions about what time to get up, what to bring, and which way to avoid people.

Zhou Wanwan obediently lay in Zhou Yang's arms and listened, feeling that there was basically nothing to add, and finally put forward his request: "I will also sell fish." Of course, she knew that it was tiring for her two brothers to carry a large wooden barrel for ten miles, and if they held her any longer, it would increase the burden. But she couldn't help but go, the two brothers were doing business for the first time, and she didn't worry about letting them go alone, even if it would cause them a burden, she would definitely follow this time.

The Zhou Yang brothers glanced at each other, and they both nodded in agreement. Zhou Wanwan thought that she had to pretend to be pitiful in order to achieve her goal, and they agreed so easily, she was really a little uneasy. I carefully observed the expressions of the two brothers again, and it didn't look like they were lying to her, so I was relieved.

The Zhou Yang brothers agreed so quickly, of course, they also had their own considerations. Now they are less and less worried that their sister is home alone, and whenever possible, they will always take their sister with them. Being tired is really nothing for the brothers who are used to doing farm work, and it is more important than anything to be able to put my sister in front of them and watch her happily. Therefore, Zhou Wanwan's suspicion is really the heart of a villain.

After discussing everything, we waited for the rain. After waiting for two or three days, the moisture in the air became heavier and heavier, but it didn't rain, and the three brothers and sisters of the Zhou family were all anxious, but no one said it, thinking that others didn't know, and they all pretended to be nothing.

In the evening of that day, Zhou Wanwan sat in the yard with a few chickens, but he actually took a miniature barometer from the space, intending to test when it would rain. A small clod of soil hit her, and Zhou Wanwan flipped over her hand and put the barometer into the space before looking up. She thought it was Zhou Ling, and after Zhou Ling was found stealing candy that day, Zhou Ling was beaten up by Mrs. Zhou, and the life of the three of them was even more difficult, not only did they have to go to the field to do farm work every day, but they also had to do all the housework when they came back. Mrs. Zhou didn't even serve the garden before and after, and let these three people do it, and they had to be scolded for doing it well or not, and their lives were miserable.

Since that day, Zhou Ling has been walking around every night when she sees Zhou Wanwan. But looking at her eyes is not very good, saying that she will pounce on Zhou Wanwan and bite Zhou Wanwan to death in the next moment, Zhou Wanwan believes it. Of course, Zhou Wanwan is not afraid of such a child, if she doesn't come to provoke her, forget it, if she dares to come, then don't blame her for being ruthless.

But to Zhou Wanwan's surprise, it was not Zhou Ling who beat her, it was Zhao Xiaosan'er. This little fart child was lying on the edge of the gate of Zhou's house, waving at Zhou Wanwan, his head kept looking left and right, looking like a thief.

Zhou Wanwan smiled at him and sat in the courtyard without moving. Zhao Xiaosan was really in a hurry, jumped straight by the gate, and called her in a low voice: "You come here!" Hurry up, come here! ”

Zhou Wanwan sat with a smile, smiling cutely and sweetly, just not moving, it was so fun to watch this little kid jump to his feet.

Zhao Xiaosan'er took out a piece of candy from his big cloth shirt that was almost above his knees, and shook it at Zhou Wanwan, "Come here!" I'll give you candy! ”

Zhou Wanwan still didn't move, she was playful for a while, just to see what other tricks this kid could have.

Zhao Xiaosan screamed a few more times, but seeing that it really didn't work, he looked back and forth again, rushed into the courtyard of the Zhou family, and dragged Zhou Wanwan out of the courtyard.

Zhao Xiaosan is four years old this year, and a four-year-old doll can't hold a two-year-old Zhou Wanwan if she wants to, so she can only drag it away. Zhou Wanwan didn't struggle, nor did she cooperate, Ren Zhao Xiaosan'er dragged herself away, she was very bored today, so she wanted to tease this kid and see what he wanted to do.
