Chapter 171: The Elder and the Young Are Orderly
(2nd Update)
Chen Qiuniang touched Qiusheng's head and said, "Between sisters and brothers, how can there be such a separation?" ”
"Grandma said, the young and the old are orderly!" Qiusheng retorted quietly.
Chen Qiuniang smiled lightly, took his hand and walked to the side of the bed, and said while stretching out her hand to the two little ones: "The sage said that 'the old and the young are orderly', but it doesn't make brothers and sisters become separate. ”
"What does that mean?" Chen Qiusheng asked crisply.
"In my opinion, it means that brothers and sisters should love each other. Younger siblings respect their older siblings, and older siblings have to do their best to protect their younger siblings and give them a better life because they have extensive knowledge and strength. Chen Qiuniang said with a smile, and then reached out to pick up her brother who crawled over and giggled at her.
Qiusheng pondered on the sidelines. Chen Qiuniang didn't want to interrupt this five-year-old child's thinking about life, and she was not in a hurry to tell him about moving, so she just blindly hugged her brother and said: "Dabao is so good, he looks so good when he smiles." ”
Dabao waved his little hand to grab her hair, babbling in his mouth. The other crawled over, his mouth flattened, and his hand stretched out. Chen Qiusheng hurriedly handed his hand over and said, "Little brother, eldest sister has been on the road for a day, and she is tired, so she can't pick up two at a time." ”
The little one took Qiusheng's hand and was about to stuff it into his mouth, Qiusheng was still a five-year-old child after all, so he immediately took his hand away and said, "Little brother is good, my brother's hand can't be eaten." ”
The little one didn't get anything to eat, and he cried out with a "wow". The big treasure in Chen Qiuniang's hand turned his head to look at his twin brother, and he also cried out with a "wow" for some reason, and the two babies began to sing together.
"Don't cry, don't cry, don't annoy the eldest sister, the eldest sister is already very tired." Chen Qiusheng was in a hurry, unable to hold up, and unable to comfort. Chen Qiuniang put her hand on her little brother's lips, the skinny child was very clever, stopped crying at once, and opened his mouth to bite his fingers.
"My little brother is hungry." Chen Qiuniang said, and immediately hugged the little brother to comfort her. He sat next to him and took Dabao by the hand. The twins stopped crying and giggled at him.
"Ah, the little brother and the big treasure are really obedient. The second sister is going to get you something to eat, and you can have dinner in a while. Chen Qiusheng spoke to the twins. The twins babbled in response, smiling at him.
At this moment, these two soft little children were in her arms, babbling and talking to her, and smiling innocently at her, and she felt that she had become soft.
"Eldest sister, the young and the old are orderly, is this what you did to us?" Chen Qiusheng suddenly asked.
Chen Qiuniang teased Dabao with one hand and asked, "What do you say?" ”
"Daddy didn't do anything, and the situation at home was scary. To tell the truth, I often dream that I am starved to death, that Dabao and my little brother are frozen to death and starved to death, and that Qiuxia is sold to make steamed buns to eat. Grandma has bad legs and feet, and if it weren't for my eldest sister, I think my dream would have come true. Although Chen Qiusheng was only five years old, after going through hardships, the child still became old.
Chen Qiuniang remembered those days in her memory, although she did not personally encounter them, but they had taken root in her memory, and every time she remembered the real Chen Qiuniang's pain, helplessness, and fear, she felt the same way. Because of this, she hates Chen Quanzhong so much, and will design to make him crippled and stay at home.
Therefore, she also has a deep understanding of Qiusheng's fear and sadness, although Qiusheng may be more afraid because of her young age, and she can't really understand it. But as long as she thought about the days that Chen Qiuniang lived in, she felt trembling and uncomfortable.
"Those days are over." Chen Qiuniang took out a free hand and gently patted Qiusheng's head.
"Big sister, you were bitten by a snake and they said you were dead. I was so scared. I'm afraid that I'll never see my eldest sister again, I'm afraid that without my eldest sister, I won't be able to help my grandmother at all, and I'm afraid that I'll die soon. Chen Qiusheng whispered, tears rolling down, and after a while, he began to cry with sobs.
Chen Qiuniang was also sad when she heard it, her eyes were wet, she hugged him into her arms, leaned on the side of the bed, and hugged Dabao in. Chen Qiusheng cried even more, at first he was still sobbing and acquiring, and then he cried out loud.
She didn't stop him, and let him cry in her arms. This little boy is actually really not easy. He is very smart, he already knows more than children of the same age, and coupled with the situation of the Chen family, he is even more precocious. But after all, he was only five years old, and those things that should not have been borne by the child fell on him, and he didn't know how the child took on it. She crossed over and became Chen Qiuniang, and all she saw was the surprise of this child for her resurrection. He hid all his worries and fears, and it was only now, at such moments, that he released them.
Chen Qiuniang really felt sorry for this child. To be honest, in this family, what she cares about most is Chen Qiusheng. Chen Qiuxia is well-behaved, but because she is stupid and a girl, she has not borne too much, nor has she had much psychological burden. As for the two small ones, she felt that the two little ones were pitiful.
"Isn't the eldest sister good? I don't think about those things. From now on, we will be able to live a good life. Chen Qiuniang comforted him.
"Hmm." Chen Qiusheng leaned on her arms and replied angrily, at this moment, he had stopped crying.
"I know it's hard to be born." Chen Qiuniang comforted softly, and the little brother in her arms also replied "ahhhhhhh
Chen Qiusheng stopped crying, broke free from Chen Qiuniang's arms, stood aside a little embarrassed, and said: "Eldest sister, Brother Cheng said 'Men don't flick when they have tears', I can't help it." ”
"Qiusheng, in the eldest sister's place, don't scruple so much, cry if you want to." She said pityingly.
Chen Qiusheng nodded, and said, "Eldest sister, Qiusheng is not hard at all. I know that the eldest sister is really hard. ”
The five-year-old boy has tears on his face that have not dried, his eyes are dark and bright, and his expression is innocent, but his heart has been vicissitudes.
"Who said that the eldest sister worked hard? I'm just going to help people cook, and I'm eating well. Chen Qiuniang smiled and comforted her.
"Brother Cheng said that the eldest sister is very hard, and he wants me to help you share it." Chen Qiusheng said very seriously.
Chen Qiuniang was stunned for a moment, thinking of the days when she got along with Liu Cheng. She felt that the young man had extraordinary feelings for Chen Qiuniang, a little girl, perhaps because he was too sympathetic, so he wanted to protect it; Or maybe he was a healer in the first place.
However, having said that, Liu Cheng lives so close to her, and he has helped her a lot, but the two have always been very angry. Even if the original Chen Qiuniang relied on him from the heart, she was like him.
Chen Qiuniang pondered to herself, but the little brother in her arms was dissatisfied, and she wriggled around to break free from her embrace. Chen Qiuniang had no choice but to put him on the bed, and urged loudly: "Qiuxia, is my brother's rice porridge ready?" ”
Qiu Xia replied crisply from the kitchen, "I'll be right away." ”
The twins began to toss and turn on the bed again, putting their little hands in their mouths and nibbling with relish.
Chen Qiuniang was able to count it as empty, and said: "Qiusheng, the previous hard days have passed. The eldest sister bought a big house in Liuhe Town, and tomorrow morning, our family will move over. After moving in, you are the head of the family, you can ask your grandmother about the family, and you can discuss the big things with the eldest sister's sworn brother. But no matter how big or small, you have to have your own opinion in your heart. Got it? ”
Qiusheng's eyes widened in surprise and asked, "Want to move?" ”
Chen Qiuniang nodded, repeated what she had just said, and got Qiusheng's assurance, before continuing: "When you go to Liuhe Town, you have to study hard, be diligent in practicing martial arts, and study with the eldest sister's sworn brother in your spare time." I have to take good care of my younger brothers and sisters, and honor my grandmother and father, but you know? ”
"Qiusheng understands." Chen Qiusheng nodded respectfully, and then said, "Eldest sister, I'm still young, I don't understand many things, and I can't be the head of the family." Or do you do it? ”
Chen Qiuniang touched his head and said, "The eldest sister has to cook and make money, and often has to go to other places to do errands, so she will be very busy, where can she have the energy to take care of the family's affairs?" Therefore, I am going to be a little tired in the autumn. Besides, you are the eldest son of the Chen family, and you will be in charge of this family sooner or later, and it is good to exercise since childhood. ”
"Ah, I see. Eldest sister, I will definitely try my best to manage the family. However, it doesn't matter if the head of this family does it or not. Chen Qiusheng is very well-behaved, and he is very happy to be the head of the family only because he can help his sister reduce her burden.
Chen Qiuniang looked at his innocent face and happy expression, but she didn't feel good in her heart. Qiuxia came with a gruel that was just cold, and stood obediently to watch Chen Qiuniang feed her two younger brothers, and excitedly talked about her recent experience in boiling porridge, as well as her recent progress in digging wild vegetables, fishing, taking care of her younger brother, and helping her grandmother.
"Qiuxia is really good, when I go to Liuhe Town tomorrow, don't run around, listen to my brother and grandmother, and take care of my brother. Although the eldest sister hired a maid to take care of her younger brother, outsiders will always be lazy and not good for your younger brother, so you have to keep an eye on it. Dabao and the little brother will be handed over to you. Chen Qiuniang took the opportunity to assign a task to Qiuxia. She really didn't trust those maids.
Qiu Xia first said that she was surprised to go to the big house in Liuhe Town, and then said that she would definitely take care of her two younger brothers. After that, I walked around the wooden bed and asked curiously what the new home was like.
Chen Qiuniang answered one by one, and during the period, she also asked Qiusheng to study hard and strive to be admitted to Sifang Academy. After that, in the future, I must choose a good name for my two younger brothers with dignity.
Qiusheng patted his small chest and assured that he was like a little adult. Qiu Xia was so excited that she couldn't stop at all. The two little ones are not picky eaters at all, although they are only six or seven months old, they eat rice porridge wantonly and eat it with relish.
Chen Qiuniang looked at the two little guys so energetic, and determined the recipes for each stage for the two little guys, as well as the recipes of these foods, and handed them over to Xibao, so that after Xibao returned to Liuhe Town, he must urge the kitchen to make it for the little guys to eat.
That night, Chen Quanzhong really didn't say a word more, and he also ate the food that Chen Qiuniang served. After the family dinner, Mr. Feng Shui, who was brought from Liuhe Town, began to do things, asking the ancestors to be gods and the gods of the four directions. Later, Xibao instructed the little servant to sort out some things to be brought over from the house and put them in the carriage.
This tossed until late at night, and everyone fell asleep. And Chen Qiuniang walked out of the door and looked up at the starry sky, only to feel that what happened here not long ago was like a world away. R1152
