"No matter what the aunt and the grandmother are going to do, let's watch first, don't say anything." Zhou Yang told his younger brother in a low voice, I don't know if it was Zhou Wanwan's illusion, the eldest brother's voice was a little lonely.

Zhou Yang usually doesn't talk much, and he won't take the initiative to say that his family is not, but Zhou Wanwan knows that he understands in his heart, but his trust and attachment to family affection make him unbearable to remove the fig leaf. In fact, there is also a heart to escape, if you don't say it, if you don't look at it, you can still be trusted as relatives, you won't calculate each other, you won't hurt, and you can rely on each other. Even if you know that you are deceiving yourself, you still want to maintain this illusion for a little longer.

After all, Zhou Yang is only fourteen years old, no matter how calm and responsible he is, he is still a little teenager, Zhou Wanwan can especially understand Zhou Yang's psychology, and he doesn't want to puncture the false expectations in his heart. This is an emotional buffer zone, if there is no such stage, directly facing the naked betrayal and injury between relatives, Zhou Yang's soft heart will definitely not be able to accept it. No one can understand how much Zhou Yang attaches importance to family affection than Zhou Wanwan, so she also wants to protect him less than anyone else.

"There is a second uncle and a second aunt who are in charge of the second sister, what can we say? It's useless to say it. Zhou Chen obviously sees more thoroughly than Zhou Yang, or rather, he is more relaxed than Zhou Yang.

Since the head-on conflict between Zhou Chen and Mrs. Zhou last winter, Zhou Chen has quickly and clearly separated a barrier between his three siblings and the rest of the Zhou family, and as time goes by, this barrier has become harder and higher, and Zhou Wanwan can foresee that in the near future, the rest of the Zhou family will be completely isolated from their world by Zhou Chen.

After discussing other people's affairs, while Zhou Chunliang was grinding hoes outside, Zhou Chen conjured a bowl like a trick and shook it in front of Zhou Wanwan, "Nan, this looks delicious!" ”

Zhou Wanwan didn't want to pretend to be calm anymore, so she turned her head and threw herself into her eldest brother's arms to complain: "Big brother, I don't want to pay attention to my second brother anymore!" ”

Zhou Yang couldn't help laughing so much that his shoulders trembled, and he couldn't say a word when he hugged his sister, who was so angry that her little face was bulging.

Zhou Chen had enough amusement, so he apologized to his sister very insincerely, and then patiently coaxed her to eat: "...... This fritters are torn apart, soaked in hot water, soft and fragrant, no need to chew at all, especially delicious, you can taste it......"

Zhou Wanwan couldn't be angry with her second brother, this stupid brother, he got a fritter himself, and left half of it back to soak it for her to eat. Although this habit of liking to watch her sister's jokes is very bad, but looking at this bowl of fritters that is not very delicious, but makes people's eyes inexplicably hot, Zhou Wanwan feels that her second brother is the best brother in the world.

After Zhou Wanwan finished eating the bowl of fritters, Zhou Yang also got up with a smile and took out most of the fritters wrapped in leaves from his coat pocket and handed them to Zhou Chen, "It's still your way, I'm still planning to let Nan Nan eat porridge tomorrow, you can soak her in hot water tomorrow morning." ”

……

Half a month later, Zhou Ping still went to see each other under the auspices of Mrs. Zhou. Mrs. Zhou was very gracious, allowing both Zhou Chunxi and Li Guizhi to ask for leave, and accompanied Zhao Simao and Zhou Ping to Limakeng. Wang Fengying took Zhou Fu to go, in the words of Zhao Simao and Mrs. Zhou, how can you not be cautious about the things of your life if you go to a few more people.

Zhou Ping's family followed Zhao Si Niang and Wang Fengying's mother and son with gratitude, and Zhou Wanwan watched a group of them walk out of the door, feeling that Zhou Ping's family was like a fat pig that was taken out and sold.

Zhou Wanwan's mood was very complicated, so when Zhao Xiaosan'er came to play with her, she didn't bother to deal with him. But this kid was still very blind, pestering Zhou Wanwan to ask him the question he had to ask every day: "When can you be my sister?" ”

Zhou Wanwan looked at his little radish head figure, "Let's wait until you grow to the height of my eldest brother." You're not as tall as my big brother's legs. Then he calmly turned around and threw down Zhao Xiaosan'er, who was hit by the black clouds above his head, and went home.

Zhou Wanwan's mood is much better, bullying children or something, it's so joyful.

That night, after the few people who went to see each other came back, they were all silent, and there was only the sound of Mrs. Zhou smashing and scolding Huai at home.

How did a few people who went to Ze Ma Keng come back and told Mrs. Zhou that Zhou Wanwan didn't hear it, looking at the current situation, it should be Zhou Ping who refused such a family affair, Zhou Chunxi and his wife supported her, and even if others had objections, there was no justification for Zhengda Guangming.

So the atmosphere of the Zhou family is very weird, Mrs. Zhou is like a powder keg, everyone is afraid that she is the unlucky ghost who ignited the fire, Wang Fengying's mother and son are so silent that people are vigilant, this family likes to watch the excitement without caring about themselves, today they didn't say a word of coolness, and they didn't do anything to fan the flames, which is too abnormal. Zhou Chunxi's family had a stiff posture of resisting with their necks, which was very unexpected by Zhou Wanwan.

Zhou Wanwan is very strange, if they can keep insisting like this, how did the tragedy of Zhou Ping in the previous life end up?

Everyone tried not to provoke Mrs. Zhou's attention after dinner, and quickly left the east house, for fear of stimulating Mrs. Zhou's fragile nerves. Zhou Chunxi's family, who had no place to avoid and had to live in a room with Mrs. Zhou, was pitiful, Zhou Lan's faint chirping sound became an unbearable noise for Mrs. Zhou, and finally Li Guizhi was so frightened that she took Zhou Lan to coax her outside, but it still caused Mrs. Zhou to be scolded for half a night.

Everyone doesn't understand, how can Mrs. Zhou react so much if they can't see each other, where can it be regarded as losing her face? But no one dared to ask, and it was too late to hide.

Only Zhou Wanwan knew that Mrs. Zhou was all for her precious grandson. In Zhou Wanwan's eyes, Mrs. Zhou has been with patriarchal companions all her life, but others don't treat her as a person before she gets married, and after she gets married, she doesn't treat other people's daughters as people.

In her eyes, her grandson is the pillar of the family, and all granddaughters and daughters-in-law must sacrifice for them unconditionally. Zhou Fu has a disabled leg, he looks old-fashioned, he doesn't even have a matchmaker at twenty-four, and the older he gets in the future, the more difficult it will be to marry. It just so happened that Zhao Simao introduced such a family, and it was not easy for her brother to marry a wife, but her sister was a good person. The two families hit it off, and they were willing to use their daughters to exchange their sons for a good daughter-in-law, and they also saved the bride price. It's just that Zhou Fu's own sister Zhou Juan has already decided to marry, and the Xu family is such a good family, of course, she can't easily withdraw from the marriage, after Mrs. Zhou and Wang Fengying's mother and daughter discussed, it became Zhou Ping who went to change relatives.

Mrs. Zhou is not embarrassed by this decision at all, Zhou Ping is of the right age, and she is the granddaughter of the Zhou family, a useless girl, it is a very cost-effective deal to exchange a good daughter-in-law for the Zhou family.

On the surface, Zhou Juan's marriage has passed like this, and Zhou Wanwan knows that this matter can't end like this, this is just the beginning, but she is not ready to do anything, let's see the future development.

She had more important things to do.

At dusk the next day, Zhou Wanwan deliberately picked the production team to play with Zhao Xiaosaner at the gate of Zhou's house when he was out of work. As Zhou Wanwan expected, Zhou Yang and Zhou Chen, who had always gone into the house to wash after work, did not enter the house immediately today, but stayed outside to accompany her, and soon, Zhao Xiaosan'er's two brothers also came over.

Then, Zhou Chen was the first to spot a large group of sparrows on the surrounding houses and trees.

After the catastrophe, it was difficult to see any other animals in the land except people. The sparrows that used to be seen everywhere in flocks are rare, which makes it useless for the boys with slingshots in their hands ready to shoot down a few tooth sacrifices.

Today, such a large flock of sparrows gathered together, in the eyes of a few boys, it was simply a flying feast, and the slingshot was quickly prepared, and the best pebbles that were usually reluctant to use were also taken out.

Zhou Wanwan took advantage of everyone to shoot sparrows and pick up sparrows, and hid in the corner of the gate to release another batch of sparrows. Of course, they are all fed, they are slow, they are not easily frightened, and they are easy to ejaculate.

Soon, the cheers of the boys playing the sparrows attracted more children, and the adults from the surrounding families also came to watch.

Zhou Chen and Zhao Dazhuang had the best skills, and they could knock down more than a dozen of them in such a short period of time. Zhao Xiaosan'er jumped up and down like a monkey, running to pick it up.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the small pile of dead sparrows at his feet with a black line on his face, and felt that Zhao Xiaosan'er was taking revenge for the blow he had given him yesterday. He picked up the sparrows and didn't put them in his house, what were they doing under her feet? Does she like a dead sparrow? He didn't think that because he liked to collect dead cockroaches, he would like to observe the thousand ways in which sparrows could die, right?

The most important thing is, Zhao Xiaosan'er, you now put this bunch of bloody sparrows with all kinds of dead forms to show her, how can you let her eat roasted sparrows later!

Zhao Xiaosan'er couldn't see that Zhou Wanwan was resentful, so he picked up the sparrow and happily sent it to her. Looking at his stupid look of asking for praise, Zhou Wanwan is strange, looking at the future development, this kid doesn't have a problem with IQ? Why don't you know how to look at people's faces?

The battle lasted until the sun went down and was completely out of sight. The children with slingshots around were all captured, and Zhou Chen and Zhao Dazhuang, who had the most harvest, shot down more than 60 and picked up 56, and the two tacitly divided them equally.

Zhou Chen gave one or two to each family when the children were small or didn't have time to make a slingshot, and finally took home twenty-two, plus six from Zhou Jun, and each of the children of the Zhou family was given a roasted sparrow that night. As for what to do with the rest, everyone can't ask. Of course, there are no more than two places to go, to give Zhou Hongying a tooth sacrifice or send it to the county seat to Zhou Hongxiang.

Sure enough, after breakfast the next day, Mrs. Zhou told Zhou Chen and Zhou Jun not to go to work today, go to fight sparrows, strive to fight more, and send them to several children of Zhou Hongxiang's family tomorrow.
