CHAPTER XXIV
Xu A-Niang glared at her two sons, and then lowered her head and comforted the little girl softly, "Don't worry, although the carriage was destroyed, but our little girl is still intact here, our little girl's father and mother must be as safe and sound as our little girl now, but now she must be stumped by something, and when they finish dealing with it, they will definitely come to pick up the little girl home, good boy, don't cry, okay?" ”
Cheng An touched his nose uncomfortably without saying a few words during the whole process, seeing that Ah Niang had already gone to coax Xiao Nannan, she endured the words that she wanted to defend herself, and listened to Ah Niang coaxing Xiao Nan not to cry, she was busy looking at Xiao Nannan, and for a while she looked at her eldest brother at a loss, and she couldn't see this girl crying, every time she cried, Cheng An didn't know what to do.
Cheng Zhi can't either, this girl has always been well-behaved and sensible, and rarely causes trouble to the family, usually even if she feels wronged and wants to cry, she has been enduring, at this time she is so sad to see her nested in A-Niang's arms and can't help crying loudly, Cheng Zhi also feels a burst of heartache, but he doesn't know how to make her stop being so sad.
Cheng Zhi looked at the two people, but finally pulled Cheng An out of the house without saying anything, Cheng An waited for Cheng Zhi to close the door, and asked in a low voice in confusion, "Big brother?" ”
Cheng Zhi still didn't say anything, turned around and went to the kitchen to heat up the somewhat cold rice again, Cheng An followed up step by step, "Big brother, I haven't seen this girl cry like this, she is sad like this, why did you pull me out?" ”
Cheng Zhi glanced at Cheng An lightly, and then went on to work on his own hands, but Cheng An felt that he understood the meaning of his eldest brother's glance, and yes, he didn't know how to coax that girl, what to do in it? But isn't it bad to just say a word? Cheng An scratched his head, not knowing what to do!
But what is Chengzhi thinking now? He remembered what A-Niang had said that he and Cheng'an should keep their distance from Xiao Nannan, otherwise it might not be good for the little girl's reputation if it spread in the future.
And since Cheng Zhi heard the news of Xiao Nannan's father and mother, what he was most worried about was not what would happen to Xiao Nannan's future and whether it would bring trouble to his family, but how the girl would react after knowing the news she had heard.
"Big brother, do you think this girl will stay in our house in the future?" Cheng An asked uncertainly, "Since her father has been killed, and her mother is missing, does it mean that she should not have any chance of something like that happening to our family again?" ”
Cheng Zhisheng's porridge action paused slightly, and then he continued to put the porridge out as if nothing happened, "Go and ask A-Niang and my little cousin to come out for dinner!" ”
"Huh?" Cheng An, who was worried about the future of their family, saw that the eldest brother didn't seem to be worried at all, but instead instructed himself to ask A-Niang and them to come out for dinner, so he felt that his head was big for a while, and when he looked closely, the eldest brother was indeed saying such things seriously, but the girl was crying so sadly now, and it was not good for her to go in like this?
Cheng Zhi saw that Cheng An was stunned and did not react, and once again frowned and urged, "Don't go quickly!" ”
Cheng An suddenly came back to his senses, nodded in a panic, and quickly turned around and walked out of the kitchen, compared to the two people in the room who were hard to disturb, it was Cheng An who made the eldest brother angry but Cheng An couldn't accept it the most, after all, the eldest brother's temper has always been good, but he was also difficult to resist when he was angry, Cheng An carefully recalled the two words he just said to the eldest brother, and it seemed that there was nothing to make the eldest brother unhappy?
Seeing Cheng An out of the kitchen, in the kitchen where he was the only one left, Cheng Zhi finally exhaled slowly, but he looked full of exhaustion, he wanted to send the girl away quickly, so as to get rid of a trouble as soon as possible, but now it seems that it is far away, even if he wants to send her away, he doesn't know where to send her, and leaving her at home can protect her for a while.
When Xu A-Niang took Xiao Nan's hand and walked out of the house, she saw Cheng Zhi bringing out the food, seeing this, Xu A-Niang only frowned slightly, glanced at Cheng An by the door, and didn't say a word after all.
After all, this meal is not very comfortable, after all, Xiao Nannan's red eyes are still there, and the three of them are very uncomfortable looking at it, but after crying so much, Xiao Nannan is no longer crying as much as before, just sobbing softly, as if she is still worried about disturbing them, at this time she is still pursing her lips tightly, as if she is worried that she will make the three members of the Xu family unhappy.
Even Cheng An couldn't eat with peace of mind when he looked at such a little girl, just imagine what he felt when he knew that his father was not there, but after thinking about it for a long time, Cheng An couldn't recall it, maybe he was too young at that time, and he had no impression at all, and now he doesn't remember what the father who held himself on his shoulder looked like.
When Cheng An came back to his senses, he heard Xiao Nan speak in a hoarse voice, "Auntie, will my father and mother really come to take me home?" ”
Cheng An felt a pain in his heart when he heard this, lowered his head and pulled the rice in the bowl fiercely, I don't know if Xiao Nannan's father and mother are alive or not, how can they really make a promise?
Xu A-Niang held the little girl in her arms, patted her back gently, and whispered, "Yes, it will definitely come!" ”
Xu A-Niang's eyes were a little red as she spoke, and she looked up at the outside of the courtyard in amazement, at this time, she didn't even care whether what their family said in the courtyard would be heard by people outside the courtyard wall, but it was just a pity for what this child who had lost his parents should do in the future, looking at Cheng Zhi Cheng'an, who had grown up quickly just after losing his father, Xu A-Niang suddenly didn't know if he could take this child well.
The little girl in Xu A-Niang's arms seemed to have finally found a harbor to make her feel at ease, and gradually stopped sobbing in Xu A-Niang's arms and slowly fell asleep.
After noticing the heavier and heavier breathing in her arms, Xu A-Niang got up and wanted to carry the little girl back to the house to take a good rest, but it was not until she got up that she really felt that she couldn't hold the child anymore!
Cheng Zhi, who had been silent, noticed Ah Niang's stiff movements, got up and said, "Ah Niang, give me my cousin, I'll carry her in!" ”
Although even Chengzhi himself blushed unnaturally when he said this, A-Niang always didn't want the two brothers to have more contact with this little sister, but after all, they would have to live under the same roof in the future, how could they not have more contact?
