Every time Hua Lin was beaten by her father before, she used to reflect on herself at the first time and blame herself (of course, most of the facts were that she made mistakes first).

At most, because the number and strength of her father's actions far exceeded the capacity of a young girl growing up, her body and even her soul, so that she fell into a shadow and was heartbroken.

Until, on this day, she saw her young and helpless shadow in Shuhuai, and she found that maybe it might really be not her fault.

Where to start?

Since returning to his hometown, Hua Lone's mother Yuan Pingqing and grandmother Zhang Luo have cooked.

As long as she heard them shouting in the ancestral house towards the new house outside, Hua Lin would close her already a little sleepy physical chemistry, and finish the study task that morning, and then bury the charcoal stove brought by her father with ash sand, and then walk to the canteen of the ancestral house.

"Huaihuai, go wash your face and eat."

Hearing her grandmother's voice, Hua Lin saw a fat book, like a little penguin, walking in front with her hands in her pockets and pouting, and her face was still black with a piece of dirt, much darker than the gray sand just now, and the grandmother behind her was following with broken steps.

This little guy has no concept of respecting the old and loving the young at all, he is really a little fool who will not have much interest, Hua Lin thinks truthfully, she doesn't like this younger brother.

"Grandma." Hua Lin greeted him.

The little derpy melon didn't shout flower loneliness, and at this time, like a little paparazzi, he sensitively jumped over the high threshold and went straight to the canteen.

A table of dishes fragrant, because her mother is in charge of cooking, she will naturally make more flowers and her favorite food, there are several plates of bright and tender vegetables, all of which are mother went to the vegetable field to pinch the tip, and did not forget to explain when she saw Hua Lone: This is a pure natural green organic vegetable, the best thing.

Serve your own meals and soup, Hua Lin has never been taken care of, and she is self-reliant.

But at this time, Derpy's father is still nowhere to be seen, and Derpy sits on the bench not knowing what to do, and has changed from a paparazzi to a chick waiting to be fed.

In front of the elders, Yuan Pingqing looked very concerned, and she asked, "Shuhuai, do you want to drink chicken soup first, or do you want to eat rice first when you are hungry?" ”

Shuhuai didn't answer, but asked blankly, "Where is my father?" ”

"Then I don't know where your dad went." Yuan Pingqing blurted out.

Turning around, Yuan Pingqing directly filled Shuhuai with a small bowl of rice and served it in front of him.

"Kazuzu is still at the table." Hua Pingjin seemed to be answering Shuhuai's question, and it was like telling his parents on purpose.

Grandpa didn't say anything, beckoned, and motioned for everyone to eat.

Without his father next to the book like a frosted eggplant, bow his head, and only pull the rice, this poor little appearance, so that Hua Lin does not know what feelings are overflowing, a chopsticks and chopsticks, sandwiched vegetables and chicken, put in the book bowl.

Shuhuai glanced at it, didn't refuse, and gave what to eat.

After a while, the door of the canteen was pushed open, and a cold wind blew in Xu Hejin, who had a black face.

No one asked him anything, Xu Hejin took a bowl and sat down next to Shuhuai.

Suddenly, I don't know what Shuhuai did, Xu Hejin slapped him on the back of the head, Shuhuai cried out "wow", and the flower loneliness on the side was so frightened that his heartbeat was a few beats more, and his grandparents didn't react a little.

"If you don't eat well, it's all over the table!"

Xu Hejin glared angrily, revealing a cannibalistic expression, completely ignoring the occasion and the feelings of his father.

During the beating and scolding, Shuhuai still had unchewed rice in his mouth, and tears like balls drooped down without restrictions.

Grandpa Xu Xianqing has always been gentle and elegant, never spoke loudly, he is now old, and his lung capacity is not enough, and his physical fitness is not enough, he only repeated: "Okay, what are you yelling at the child for?" What are you yelling at children for? ”

Maybe grandpa is really old and useless to speak.

Grandma got up to hug Shuhuai, but was stopped by Xu Hejin on the other side of the table, and said: "You don't care, eat a meal and vegetables, don't eat meat, and pull it, how many times have I said it, I just want to beat his cheap bones." ”

As he spoke, he slapped his hands again.

Yuan Pingqing kindly reminded, but her tone was cold: "If you want to beat or scold, you wait for him to finish this meal, otherwise he will choke into his trachea, and you will regret it if someone dies." ”

Shuhuai was still crying, and the whole dining hall was in a mess all of a sudden.

This scene made Hua Lonely have mixed feelings.

From Xu Hejin's face when he entered the door, which was darker than Shuhuai playing with mud and dirty face, it can be roughly guessed that he is estimated to have lost a lot on the mahjong table.

This violent temper is obviously relying on his adult identity to spread all the unhappiness that has been accumulated on the young and innocent Shuhuai.

And the "iron blue face, the persuasion of others is useless, but it is easy to deepen the contradictions, and the more you fight, the more you fight, the more energetic it becomes", it is very similar to the situation of Hua Pingjin beating Hua Lonely.

Therefore, Yuan Pingqing once said that as long as Hua Pingjin beats people, she can't persuade her no matter what, and walking away and no one will appreciate it, but it will make the "performance" end.

It turns out that their brothers have the same temper and temperament, whether it is due to the marriage of their parents or not, in short, their brain nerves are abnormal, neurons cannot control emotions, and selfish, self-serving, self-serving, each of the three brothers has violent tendencies,

The eldest grandson of the Xu family, Xu Menghua, must have been fooled by his father Xu Anjin; And not just to marry close relatives.

At this time, Hua Lin began to feel a little sorry for this unpleasant little brother.

She felt that Shuhuai was inferior to herself.

At least at his age in Shuhuai, he is still the object of his father's love;

At least, so far, as long as it is within the boundaries of Yuanxu Village, in front of her grandparents, Dad has not moved once, even if she was once disobedient and playful and fell into the pond, after being fished up, Dad was not angry.

If, even in Yuanxu Village, in front of his grandparents, Xu Hejin couldn't help but beat people, then presumably Shuhuai's life in his own home would not be so good, and it was even more common to be beaten at home, and no one could save him.

So when Hua Lin looked at Xu Hejin again, her eyes were clearly full of contempt and contempt.

What a lifeless and uneducated adult man, teaching his children at the dinner table, not to mention the elders, making a good three generations in the same house, a warm picture, just like that, chickens and dogs jump, and they can't live in peace.

Hua Lin patted Shuhuai on the back, he was still sobbing.

"Okay, stop crying." Hua Lone's tone is very gentle, and under the sympathy, she is willing to give a little more care to this younger brother in the later time together.

When I was writing my homework again, Hua Lin paid special attention to the book.

His dad went back to the table and didn't care about the kids.

So, Hua Lin beckoned Shuhuai into the room, "What grade is it?" Talk to my sister. ”

This time, Shuhuai didn't hide, just a little twisted.

"Second grade."

"Do you have winter vacation homework?"

He nodded.

"Then why don't you write it?"

"I won't." Shuhuai smiled embarrassedly.

Hua Lin saw him answer so honestly, and then laughed, this tooth is still two less, it is really stupid and cute.

"Would you like to bring your sister to teach you?" Hua Lin asked tentatively.

Shuhuai fully cooperated, so he went to the room to search for pencils and Chinese and mathematics winter vacation homework books.

I dragged a stool and wanted to sit next to Hua Lone.

The characters in Shuhuai are a little ugly, obviously unpracticed, and the strokes are too big, always exceeding the grid of the crossword.

Math problems can only be solved by breaking fingers.

When he encountered some flexible additional questions, he was a little unable to figure it out, and he had to spend a lot of time explaining them.

When encountering Chinese, memorizing texts, and pinyin can't be spelled.

The most difficult thing is to look at the picture and speak, three pictures of primary school students planting trees, stunned to see what the order of story development, and finally enlightened, can only say a word, he just transcribes a sentence, can't write the word pinyin to make up.

Yuan Pingqing came once halfway, and when she saw that Hua Lin was not learning and had no skills, she knocked on Hua Lone's head when she was a teacher in Shuhuai, so she gave up.

This afternoon, Shuhuai stayed with his sister and studied solidly.

Towards the end, Shuhuai said excitedly, "I finally wrote a lot of homework. ”

As soon as he heard this, Hua Lin realized that because no one was in charge, those homework were too difficult for Shuhuai, and it was a big mountain in his heart, and now, someone finally helped him and solved a big problem for him.

Since then, the relationship between the two siblings has changed dramatically, and no one knows why.

Shuhuai and Sister Hua Lin became intimate, not only in Shuhuai's little short legs following Hua Lone, sticking to Hua Lone, but also in his obedience to Hua Lone.

For example, Hua Lin instructed him to get a spoon, and he got up.

Bring a piece of water and he'll go.

Hua Lin said that the vegetables were delicious, and Shuhuai said that he also loved to eat.

Hua Lin talked about going for a walk, and Shuhuai followed.

I always feel that Xu Hejin also has a strange look when he looks at Hua Lone.

Hua Lin and Xiao Taro went to play, and Shuhuai Da Ra wanted to follow, in short, he didn't leave his Huahua sister an inch.

When this intimacy is brought close, there are no boundaries.

Early in the morning of winter, Shuhuai got up early with his father, who was going to gamble, and he loved to knock on the door of Hua Lone, sister, is my sister up?

Hua Lin said that she still wanted to sleep.

There was no sound outside.

I heard my mother's voice again, "Shuhuai, what are you doing sitting on the ground?" ”

Hua Lin opened her eyes suddenly, could it be...

"I'll wait for my sister to get up."

This little thing.

But listening to Hua Lone's words like this is not necessarily a good thing, and it may hurt him.

At night, only Hua Lin and Shuhuai remained, watching Journey to the West on the big TV in his grandfather's rented house.

Hua Lin said what she wanted to see, Shuhuai just looked at it, not making trouble at all, they were very harmonious at the time, and there were snacks packed by grandma next to them.

Xu Hejin rarely got off the table early, but he didn't expect to change the table when he came in.

Shuhuai quickly snatched back the remote control and called back Journey to the West Monkey King, super blind and said, "Sister wants to watch Journey to the West." Don't move. ”

Hua Lin didn't expect her brother to have this side, she didn't want to provoke Xu Hejin.

Xu Hejin didn't have a seizure, but said to Shuhuai, then you go and help Dad get an apple.

Shuhuai resisted with his body and refused to go.

Hua Lin looked as if his father was upset, this fool, so she said, "Go and help your father get it." ”

"Oh." The book got up with a sigh of heart.

Hua Lonely was a little embarrassed, and the atmosphere at the scene was a little subtle awkward.

When Shuhuai brought it over, Hua Lin actually didn't like to eat apples, but considering that Shuhuai might have taken it from a box of fruits in his grandfather's room, he reminded: "Is this apple you took unwashed?" ”

"I'll wash." Puppy legs are especially active to wash apples.

After washing, his seat was occupied by his father, and his father said, "You go and move a stool for my father." ”

Shuhuai looked reluctant, "I won't go, you go by yourself!" Get out of the way and sit for me. ”

In this way, Xu Hejin, who had repeatedly touched the nail, finally endured it, and he raised his hand to hit someone, just outside Yuan Pingqing was shouting: "Flower silence!" ”

Hua Lin hurriedly went out, and then heard Xu Hejin's angry voice coming from the room: "What kind of ecstasy have you taken?" If you don't listen to Lao Tzu, who do you listen to? People don't listen, ghosts nod their heads, right?"

Hua Lonely under the root of the wall shook her head silently, what is "ghost talking and nodding", she is clearly scolding her, how can this uncle talk like this, she and Shuhuai are equals, what does it matter?

Yuan Pingqing also heard it, but he didn't know what he meant,

Hua Lin pulled her mother and walked quietly, talking as she walked.

"You are really, what are you instructing other people's sons to do in front of your uncle?"

Hua Lin wanted to cry out for injustice, but think about it, forget it, that uncle is the size of a needlepoint, and she has nothing to say.

It's just that it's a pity that the book is sandwiched in the middle, and you can't act rashly, it's so difficult to be a person at a young age.

In particular, the picture of Shuhuai being slapped by his father at the dinner table always appeared in front of Hua Lonely's eyes, and she seemed to have jumped into the third space, and saw herself being beaten from the perspective of God.

Every time she thinks of this, she can't help but sigh, is this the style inherited from the Xu family?

She and Shuhuai can't escape.
