When the sun was approaching the west, Xu A-Niang slowly calmed down and walked home, but she saw an unexpected person not far from the cemetery.

Xu Zhuang, Aunt Lin's son who came out of the door this morning.

Xu A-Niang wanted to avoid Xu Zhuang and walk away, but the next scene made her stop.

Xu Zhuang obviously hadn't seen Xu A-Niang yet, and was pacing anxiously in the woods alone, when Xu A-Niang first saw him, he felt that he seemed to be waiting for someone, and he didn't pay attention to it, but the next few people who came out were the most puzzled by Xu A-Niang.

Because of the arrival of these people, Xu Zhuang was obviously relieved, but because Xu A-Niang was far away, he didn't know what the few of them were talking about when they got together, but Xu A-Niang's curiosity had already been aroused.

Most of those people Xu A-Niang didn't know, obviously not from Xujia Village, looking at their clothes, Xu A-Niang guessed that it should be the family that Aunt Lin was dragging Xu Zhuang to do things, but in addition to Xu Zhuang and these strangers, what surprised Xu A-Niang the most was the person she had met a few times.

Xu A-Niang waited beside her for a while, and it was not until after a group of people in Xu Zhuang finished talking about things and left that Xu A-Niang quietly walked out and returned home uneasy.

Along the way, Xu A-Niang was a little uneasy, her heart was pounding, as if something big was about to happen, this feeling was like when Chengzhi and his father left that year.

But now Xu A-Niang can only comfort herself, maybe she just thinks about it too much, Xu Zhuang's affairs must be involved with their family, and she just wants to live a peaceful life with her children, and she can't stand any blows anymore.

After going home, it was already dark, Cheng Zhi and they had already gone home, Cheng An was taking the little girl in the yard to sort out their harvest today, Xu A-Niang saw that Cheng Zhi was not visible, and when she entered the kitchen, she saw that as she expected, the child had already started cooking.

Xu A-Niang felt both relieved and a little helpless, looking at Cheng Zhi who was skillfully chopping vegetables there, Xu A-Niang also felt a little sad, and for a while her heart was mixed, so that even Xu A-Niang couldn't tell her current mood.

Sensing Xu A-Niang's footsteps, Cheng Zhi turned around and smiled, "A-Niang, are you back?" The meal will be ready right away. ”

Xu A-Niang looked at the hot soup boiling on the stove and the already steamed wowotou, knowing that she should be waiting for the dishes to go to the pot now, she took the kitchen knife from Chengzhi's hand and said, "I'll come, you go and accompany Cheng'an and them!" ”

Cheng Zhi didn't insist, and let Ah Niang take away his kitchen knife, but he didn't go out to accompany Cheng An and Xiao Nan as Xu A-Niang ordered, but squatted down next to the stove and added another fire.

Xu A-Niang heard the movement behind her and did not persuade Chengzhi again, but cut the vegetables on the board neatly with a knife in her hand, the thickness was even, and the size was just right.

I saw that Cheng Zhi, who was clearly lit by the fire in the stove, pursed his lips tightly and frowned, stared at Xu Aniang's back worriedly, opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything and looked away.

He could feel that A-Niang was in a very bad mood when she just came back, even if she looked a little depressed now, she still acted indifferently towards them, Cheng Zhi wanted to ask Xu A-Niang what happened, and everyone could think of ways and come up with ideas together.

But Cheng Zhi didn't know if A-Niang would tell him, and he didn't know if he would make A-Niang Xu unhappy if he asked like this, he didn't know where A-Niang Xu went today to come back so late, but he knew that it must not be something that made A-Niang Xu happy, maybe it was to see their Daddy!

Cheng Zhi and Xu A-Niang didn't say anything in the kitchen, they only asked Cheng An and Xiao Nan in the courtyard who were playing and playing, and only after Xu A-Niang's dishes were put into the pot did they speak, "Go and ask your brother and Nan Nan to wash their hands and eat!" ”

"Hmm!" Cheng Zhi turned around and walked out of the kitchen, looking at Cheng An and Xiao Nan who didn't seem to know the taste of sorrow in the courtyard, the worries in his heart dissipated a lot for a while, as long as they were there, Cheng Zhi was willing to shelter them from the wind and rain all the time, just to ask them to be stable for a lifetime.

Seeing Cheng Zhi come out, Cheng Anxin knew that the eldest brother must have come to ask him to eat, but he asked again, "Big brother, is the meal ready?" ”

"Hmm!" Cheng Zhi replied in a deep voice, "Wash your hands first!" ”

"Okay!" Cheng An agreed, and at the same time pulled Xiao Nan up and went over with him to wash his hands.

Cheng Zhi couldn't help frowning when he looked at it, but when he thought of it, it seemed that even A-Niang hadn't said anything more during this time, so he naturally wouldn't say anything more, but since he had Xiao Nannan, Cheng An seemed to rarely go out to play with his friends.

Thinking of this, Cheng Zhi looked at Cheng An, then at Xiao Nannan, and finally walked behind Cheng An and Xiao Nannan, "It just rained some time ago, and the river in the east of the village has also risen a lot, you should be able to catch a lot of fish in the past, but the road by the river is slippery, so you should also pay attention to safety." ”

"Huh?" Cheng An, who was facing his fingernails and buttoning mud, looked at Cheng Zhi blankly, and immediately reacted randomly, pulling Cheng Zhi almost ecstatically and said, "Big brother, do you mean fishing?" When are you going? ”

Cheng Zhi frowned and looked at Cheng An's black hands, and scolded, "Wash your hands!" ”

"Ah......" Cheng An let go of Cheng Zhi's sleeves, just when he was happy, he forgot that his hands were still dirty, and then looked at Cheng Zhi's shirt, and sure enough, there were already two distinct palm prints.

Cheng An knew that Cheng Zhi had always been a neat and clean person, and now he didn't know how to discipline himself, he didn't dare to look up at Cheng Zhi's now extremely angry face, so he was worried that he would make Cheng Zhi angry if he didn't know the severity.

He was embarrassed and wanted to touch his head to relax, but before his hand reached his head, he was knocked off by Cheng Zhi's raised hand, and Cheng An reacted to how he should wash his hands, such a dirty hand, even if he touched his eldest brother's clothes, why did he come over and touch his hair!

Cheng Zhi was really not very happy when he looked at the two conspicuous palm prints on his clothes, but seeing Cheng An's look of not daring to speak anymore when he realized that he had done something wrong, Cheng Zhi had already disappeared even if he was angry, and he had never really been angry with Cheng An.

In Cheng Zhi's heart, Cheng An is just a child, a younger brother he needs to be loved from time to time, and naturally Cheng An can bear whatever he does.
